Merge tag 'net-next-6.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Core:

- Introduce and use a single page frag cache for allocating small skb
heads, clawing back the 10-20% performance regression in UDP flood
test from previous fixes.

- Run packets which already went thru HW coalescing thru SW GRO. This
significantly improves TCP segment coalescing and simplifies
deployments as different workloads benefit from HW or SW GRO.

- Shrink the size of the base zero-copy send structure.

- Move TCP init under a new slow / sleepable version of DO_ONCE().

BPF:

- Add BPF-specific, any-context-safe memory allocator.

- Add helpers/kfuncs for PKCS#7 signature verification from BPF
programs.

- Define a new map type and related helpers for user space -> kernel
communication over a ring buffer (BPF_MAP_TYPE_USER_RINGBUF).

- Allow targeting BPF iterators to loop through resources of one
task/thread.

- Add ability to call selected destructive functions. Expose
crash_kexec() to allow BPF to trigger a kernel dump. Use
CAP_SYS_BOOT check on the loading process to judge permissions.

- Enable BPF to collect custom hierarchical cgroup stats efficiently
by integrating with the rstat framework.

- Support struct arguments for trampoline based programs. Only
structs with size <= 16B and x86 are supported.

- Invoke cgroup/connect{4,6} programs for unprivileged ICMP ping
sockets (instead of just TCP and UDP sockets).

- Add a helper for accessing CLOCK_TAI for time sensitive network
related programs.

- Support accessing network tunnel metadata's flags.

- Make TCP SYN ACK RTO tunable by BPF programs with TCP Fast Open.

- Add support for writing to Netfilter's nf_conn:mark.

Protocols:

- WiFi: more Extremely High Throughput (EHT) and Multi-Link Operation
(MLO) work (802.11be, WiFi 7).

- vsock: improve support for SO_RCVLOWAT.

- SMC: support SO_REUSEPORT.

- Netlink: define and document how to use netlink in a "modern" way.
Support reporting missing attributes via extended ACK.

- IPSec: support collect metadata mode for xfrm interfaces.

- TCPv6: send consistent autoflowlabel in SYN_RECV state and RST
packets.

- TCP: introduce optional per-netns connection hash table to allow
better isolation between namespaces (opt-in, at the cost of memory
and cache pressure).

- MPTCP: support TCP_FASTOPEN_CONNECT.

- Add NEXT-C-SID support in Segment Routing (SRv6) End behavior.

- Adjust IP_UNICAST_IF sockopt behavior for connected UDP sockets.

- Open vSwitch:
- Allow specifying ifindex of new interfaces.
- Allow conntrack and metering in non-initial user namespace.

- TLS: support the Korean ARIA-GCM crypto algorithm.

- Remove DECnet support.

Driver API:

- Allow selecting the conduit interface used by each port in DSA
switches, at runtime.

- Ethernet Power Sourcing Equipment and Power Device support.

- Add tc-taprio support for queueMaxSDU parameter, i.e. setting per
traffic class max frame size for time-based packet schedules.

- Support PHY rate matching - adapting between differing host-side
and link-side speeds.

- Introduce QUSGMII PHY mode and 1000BASE-KX interface mode.

- Validate OF (device tree) nodes for DSA shared ports; make
phylink-related properties mandatory on DSA and CPU ports.
Enforcing more uniformity should allow transitioning to phylink.

- Require that flash component name used during update matches one of
the components for which version is reported by info_get().

- Remove "weight" argument from driver-facing NAPI API as much as
possible. It's one of those magic knobs which seemed like a good
idea at the time but is too indirect to use in practice.

- Support offload of TLS connections with 256 bit keys.

Daniel Borkmann says:

====================
pull-request: bpf-next 2022-09-05

The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree.

We've added 106 non-merge commits during the last 18 day(s) which contain
a total of 159 files changed, 5225 insertions(+), 1358 deletions(-).

There are two small merge conflicts, resolve them as follows:

1) tools/testing/selftests/bpf/DENYLIST.s390x

Commit 27e23836ce22 ("selftests/bpf: Add lru_bug to s390x deny list") in
bpf tree was needed to get BPF CI green on s390x, but it conflicted with
newly added tests on bpf-next. Resolve by adding both hunks, result:

[...]
lru_bug # prog 'printk': failed to auto-attach: -524
setget_sockopt # attach unexpected error: -524 (trampoline)
cb_refs # expected error message unexpected error: -524 (trampoline)
cgroup_hierarchical_stats # JIT does not support calling kernel function (kfunc)
htab_update # failed to attach: ERROR: strerror_r(-524)=22 (trampoline)
[...]

2) net/core/filter.c

Commit 1227c1771dd2 ("net: Fix data-races around sysctl_[rw]mem_(max|default).")
from net tree conflicts with commit 29003875bd5b ("bpf: Change bpf_setsockopt(SOL_SOCKET)
to reuse sk_setsockopt()") from bpf-next tree. Take the code as it is from
bpf-next tree, result:

[...]
if (getopt) {
if (optname == SO_BINDTODEVICE)
return -EINVAL;
return sk_getsockopt(sk, SOL_SOCKET, optname,
KERNEL_SOCKPTR(optval),
KERNEL_SOCKPTR(optlen));
}

return sk_setsockopt(sk, SOL_SOCKET, optname,
KERNEL_SOCKPTR(optval), *optlen);
[...]

The main changes are:

1) Add any-context BPF specific memory allocator which is useful in particular for BPF
tracing with bonus of performance equal to full prealloc, from Alexei Starovoitov.

2) Big batch to remove duplicated code from bpf_{get,set}sockopt() helpers as an effort
to reuse the existing core socket code as much as possible, from Martin KaFai Lau.

3) Extend BPF flow dissector for BPF programs to just augment the in-kernel dissector
with custom logic. In other words, allow for partial replacement, from Shmulik Ladkani.

4) Add a new cgroup iterator to BPF with different traversal options, from Hao Luo.

5) Support for BPF to collect hierarchical cgroup statistics efficiently through BPF
integration with the rstat framework, from Yosry Ahmed.

6) Support bpf_{g,s}et_retval() under more BPF cgroup hooks, from Stanislav Fomichev.

7) BPF hash table and local storages fixes under fully preemptible kernel, from Hou Tao.

8) Add various improvements to BPF selftests and libbpf for compilation with gcc BPF
backend, from James Hilliard.

9) Fix verifier helper permissions and reference state management for synchronous
callbacks, from Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi.

10) Add support for BPF selftest's xskxceiver to also be used against real devices that
support MAC loopback, from Maciej Fijalkowski.

11) Various fixes to the bpf-helpers(7) man page generation script, from Quentin Monnet.

12) Document BPF verifier's tnum_in(tnum_range(), ...) gotchas, from Shung-Hsi Yu.

13) Various minor misc improvements all over the place.

selftests/bpf: Store BPF object files with .bpf.o extension

BPF object files are, in a way, the final artifact produced as part of
the ahead-of-time compilation process. That makes them somewhat special
compared to "regular" object files, which are a intermediate build
artifacts that can typically be removed safely. As such, it can make
sense to name them differently to make it easier to spot this difference
at a glance.

Among others, libbpf-bootstrap [0] has established the extension .bpf.o
for BPF object files. It seems reasonable to follow this example and
establish the same denomination for selftest build artifacts. To that
end, this change adjusts the corresponding part of the build system and
the test programs loading BPF object files to work with .bpf.o files.

Merge tag '5.17-net-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Core
----

- Defer freeing TCP skbs to the BH handler, whenever possible, or at
least perform the freeing outside of the socket lock section to
decrease cross-CPU allocator work and improve latency.

- Add netdevice refcount tracking to locate sources of netdevice and
net namespace refcount leaks.

- Make Tx watchdog less intrusive - avoid pausing Tx and restarting
all queues from a single CPU removing latency spikes.

- Various small optimizations throughout the stack from Eric Dumazet.

- Make netdev->dev_addr[] constant, force modifications to go via
appropriate helpers to allow us to keep addresses in ordered data
structures.

- Replace unix_table_lock with per-hash locks, improving performance
of bind() calls.

- Extend skb drop tracepoint with a drop reason.

- Allow SO_MARK and SO_PRIORITY setsockopt under CAP_NET_RAW.

BPF
---

- New helpers:
- bpf_find_vma(), find and inspect VMAs for profiling use cases
- bpf_loop(), runtime-bounded loop helper trading some execution
time for much faster (if at all converging) verification
- bpf_strncmp(), improve performance, avoid compiler flakiness
- bpf_get_func_arg(), bpf_get_func_ret(), bpf_get_func_arg_cnt()
for tracing programs, all inlined by the verifier

- Support BPF relocations (CO-RE) in the kernel loader.

- Further the support for BTF_TYPE_TAG annotations.

- Allow access to local storage in sleepable helpers.

- Convert verifier argument types to a composable form with different
attributes which can be shared across types (ro, maybe-null).
