Core & protocols
----------------
- Support HW queue leasing, allowing containers to be granted access
to HW queues for zero-copy operations and AF_XDP.
- Number of code moves to help the compiler with inlining.
Avoid output arguments for returning drop reason where possible.
- Rework drop handling within qdiscs to include more metadata
about the reason and dropping qdisc in the tracepoints.
- Remove the rtnl_lock use from IP Multicast Routing.
- Pack size information into the Rx Flow Steering table pointer
itself. This allows making the table itself a flat array of u32s,
thus making the table allocation size a power of two.
- Report TCP delayed ack timer information via socket diag.
- Add ip_local_port_step_width sysctl to allow distributing the randomly
selected ports more evenly throughout the allowed space.
- Add support for per-route tunsrc in IPv6 segment routing.
- Start work of switching sockopt handling to iov_iter.
- Improve dynamic recvbuf sizing in MPTCP, limit burstiness and avoid
buffer size drifting up.
- Support MSG_EOR in MPTCP.
- Add stp_mode attribute to the bridge driver for STP mode selection.
This addresses concerns about call_usermodehelper() usage.
- Remove UDP-Lite support (as announced in 2023).
- Remove support for building IPv6 as a module.
Remove the now unnecessary function calling indirection.
Cross-tree stuff
----------------
- Move Michael MIC code from generic crypto into wireless,
it's considered insecure but some WiFi networks still need it.
Netfilter
---------
- Switch nft_fib_ipv6 module to no longer need temporary dst_entry
object allocations by using fib6_lookup() + RCU.
Florian W reports this gets us ~13% higher packet rate.
- Convert IPVS's global __ip_vs_mutex to per-net service_mutex and
switch the service tables to be per-net. Convert some code that
walks the service lists to use RCU instead of the service_mutex.
- Add more opinionated input validation to lower security exposure.
- Make IPVS hash tables to be per-netns and resizable.
Wireless
--------
- Finished assoc frame encryption/EPPKE/802.1X-over-auth.
- Radar detection improvements.
- Add 6 GHz incumbent signal detection APIs.
- Multi-link support for FILS, probe response templates and
client probing.
- New APIs and mac80211 support for NAN (Neighbor Aware Networking,
aka Wi-Fi Aware) so less work must be in firmware.
Driver API
----------
- Add numerical ID for devlink instances (to avoid having to create
fake bus/device pairs just to have an ID). Support shared devlink
instances which span multiple PFs.
- Add standard counters for reporting pause storm events
(implement in mlx5 and fbnic).
- Add configuration API for completion writeback buffering
(implement in mana).
- Support driver-initiated change of RSS context sizes.
- Support DPLL monitoring input frequency (implement in zl3073x).
- Support per-port resources in devlink (implement in mlx5).
Misc
----
- Expand the YAML spec for Netfilter.

...
kernfs has historically used const void * to pass around namespace tags
used for directory-level namespace filtering. The only current user of
this is sysfs network namespace tagging where struct net pointers are
cast to void *.
Replace all const void * namespace parameters with const struct
ns_common * throughout the kernfs, sysfs, and kobject namespace layers.
This includes the kobj_ns_type_operations callbacks, kobject_namespace(),
and all sysfs/kernfs APIs that accept or return namespace tags.
Passing struct ns_common is needed because various codepaths require
access to the underlying namespace. A struct ns_common can always be
converted back to the concrete namespace type (e.g., struct net) via
container_of() or to_ns_common() in the reverse direction.
This is a preparatory change for switching to ns_id-based directory
iteration to prevent a KASLR pointer leak through the current use of
raw namespace pointers as hash seeds and comparison keys.

Instead of storing the @log at the beginning of rps_dev_flow_table
use 5 low order bits of the rps_tag_ptr to store the log of the size.
This removes a potential cache line miss (for light traffic).
This allows us to switch to one high-order allocation instead of vmalloc()
when CONFIG_RFS_ACCEL is not set.

RPS cpumask can be overriden through sysfs/syctl. The boot defined
isolated CPUs are then excluded from that cpumask.
However HK_TYPE_DOMAIN will soon integrate cpuset isolated
CPUs updates and the RPS infrastructure needs more thoughts to be able
to propagate such changes and synchronize against them.
Keep handling only what was passed through "isolcpus=" for now.

Core & protocols
----------------
- Improve drop account scalability on NUMA hosts for RAW and UDP sockets
and the backlog, almost doubling the Pps capacity under DoS.
- Optimize the UDP RX performance under stress, reducing contention,
revisiting the binary layout of the involved data structs and
implementing NUMA-aware locking. This improves UDP RX performance by
an additional 50%, even more under extreme conditions.
- Add support for PSP encryption of TCP connections; this mechanism has
some similarities with IPsec and TLS, but offers superior HW offloads
capabilities.
- Ongoing work to support Accurate ECN for TCP. AccECN allows more than
one congestion notification signal per RTT and is a building block for
Low Latency, Low Loss, and Scalable Throughput (L4S).
- Reorganize the TCP socket binary layout for data locality, reducing
the number of touched cachelines in the fastpath.
- Refactor skb deferral free to better scale on large multi-NUMA hosts,
this improves TCP and UDP RX performances significantly on such HW.
- Increase the default socket memory buffer limits from 256K to 4M to
better fit modern link speeds.
- Improve handling of setups with a large number of nexthop, making dump
operating scaling linearly and avoiding unneeded synchronize_rcu() on
delete.
- Improve bridge handling of VLAN FDB, storing a single entry per bridge
instead of one entry per port; this makes the dump order of magnitude
faster on large switches.
- Restore IP ID correctly for encapsulated packets at GSO segmentation
time, allowing GRO to merge packets in more scenarios.
- Improve netfilter matching performance on large sets.
- Improve MPTCP receive path performance by leveraging recently
introduced core infrastructure (skb deferral free) and adopting recent
TCP autotuning changes.
- Allow bridges to redirect to a backup port when the bridge port is
administratively down.
- Introduce MPTCP 'laminar' endpoint that con be used only once per
connection and simplify common MPTCP setups.
- Add RCU safety to dst->dev, closing a lot of possible races.
- A significant crypto library API for SCTP, MPTCP and IPv6 SR, reducing
code duplication.
- Supports pulling data from an skb frag into the linear area of an XDP
buffer.
Things we sprinkled into general kernel code
--------------------------------------------
- Generate netlink documentation from YAML using an integrated
YAML parser.
Driver API
----------
- Support using IPv6 Flow Label in Rx hash computation and RSS queue
selection.
- Introduce API for fetching the DMA device for a given queue, allowing
TCP zerocopy RX on more H/W setups.
- Make XDP helpers compatible with unreadable memory, allowing more
easily building DevMem-enabled drivers with a unified XDP/skbs
datapath.
- Add a new dedicated ethtool callback enabling drivers to provide the
number of RX rings directly, improving efficiency and clarity in RX
ring queries and RSS configuration.
- Introduce a burst period for the health reporter, allowing better
handling of multiple errors due to the same root cause.
- Support for DPLL phase offset exponential moving average, controlling
the average smoothing factor.

- Optimize the UDP RX performance under stress, reducing contention,
revisiting the binary layout of the involved data structs and
implementing NUMA-aware locking. This improves UDP RX performance
by an additional 50%, even more under extreme conditions
- Add support for PSP encryption of TCP connections; this mechanism
has some similarities with IPsec and TLS, but offers superior HW
offloads capabilities
- Ongoing work to support Accurate ECN for TCP. AccECN allows more
than one congestion notification signal per RTT and is a building
block for Low Latency, Low Loss, and Scalable Throughput (L4S)
- Reorganize the TCP socket binary layout for data locality, reducing
the number of touched cachelines in the fastpath
- Refactor skb deferral free to better scale on large multi-NUMA
hosts, this improves TCP and UDP RX performances significantly on
such HW
- Increase the default socket memory buffer limits from 256K to 4M to
better fit modern link speeds
- Improve handling of setups with a large number of nexthop, making
dump operating scaling linearly and avoiding unneeded
synchronize_rcu() on delete
- Improve bridge handling of VLAN FDB, storing a single entry per
bridge instead of one entry per port; this makes the dump order of
magnitude faster on large switches
- Restore IP ID correctly for encapsulated packets at GSO
segmentation time, allowing GRO to merge packets in more scenarios
- Improve netfilter matching performance on large sets
- Improve MPTCP receive path performance by leveraging recently
introduced core infrastructure (skb deferral free) and adopting
recent TCP autotuning changes
- Allow bridges to redirect to a backup port when the bridge port is
administratively down
- Introduce MPTCP 'laminar' endpoint that con be used only once per
connection and simplify common MPTCP setups
- Add RCU safety to dst->dev, closing a lot of possible races
- A significant crypto library API for SCTP, MPTCP and IPv6 SR,
reducing code duplication

This patch fixes an issue where two different flows on the same RXq
produce the same hash resulting in continuous flow overwrites.
Flow #1: A packet for Flow #1 comes in, kernel calls the steering
function. The driver gives back a filter id. The kernel saves
this filter id in the selected slot. Later, the driver's
service task checks if any filters have expired and then
installs the rule for Flow #1.
Flow #2: A packet for Flow #2 comes in. It goes through the same steps.
But this time, the chosen slot is being used by Flow #1. The
driver gives a new filter id and the kernel saves it in the
same slot. When the driver's service task runs, it runs through
all the flows, checks if Flow #1 should be expired, the kernel
returns True as the slot has a different filter id, and then
the driver installs the rule for Flow #2.
Flow #1: Another packet for Flow #1 comes in. The same thing repeats.
The slot is overwritten with a new filter id for Flow #1.
This causes a repeated cycle of flow programming for missed packets,
wasting CPU cycles while not improving performance. This problem happens
at higher rates when the RPS table is small, but tests show it still
happens even with 12,000 connections and an RPS size of 16K per queue
(global table size = 144x16K = 64K).
This patch prevents overwriting an rps_dev_flow entry if it is active.
The intention is that it is better to do aRFS for the first flow instead
of hurting all flows on the same hash. Without this, two (or more) flows
on one RX queue with the same hash can keep overwriting each other. This
causes the driver to reprogram the flow repeatedly.
Changes:
1. Add a new 'hash' field to struct rps_dev_flow.
2. Add rps_flow_is_active(): a helper function to check if a flow is
active or not, extracted from rps_may_expire_flow(). It is further
simplified as per reviewer feedback.
3. In set_rps_cpu():
- Avoid overwriting by programming a new filter if:
- The slot is not in use, or
- The slot is in use but the flow is not active, or
- The slot has an active flow with the same hash, but target CPU
differs.
- Save the hash in the rps_dev_flow entry.
4. rps_may_expire_flow(): Use earlier extracted rps_flow_is_active().
Testing & results:
- Driver: ice (E810 NIC), Kernel: net-next
- #CPUs = #RXq = 144 (1:1)
- Number of flows: 12K
- Eight RPS settings from 256 to 32768. Though RPS=256 is not ideal,
it is still sufficient to cover 12K flows (256*144 rx-queues = 64K
global table slots)
- Global Table Size = 144 * RPS (effectively equal to 256 * RPS)
- Each RPS test duration = 8 mins (org code) + 8 mins (new code).
- Metrics captured on client

Drivers which opt into instance lock protection of ops should
only call set_real_num_*_queues() under the instance lock.
This means that queue counts are double protected (writes
are under both rtnl_lock and instance lock, readers under
either).
Some readers may still be under the rtnl_lock, however, so for
now we need double protection of writers.
OTOH queue API paths are only under the protection of the instance
lock, so we need to validate that the instance is actually locking
ops, otherwise the input checks we do against queue count are racy.

RFS is using two kinds of hash tables.
First one is controlled by /proc/sys/net/core/rps_sock_flow_entries = 2^N
and using the N low order bits of the l4 hash is good enough.
Then each RX queue has its own hash table, controlled by
/sys/class/net/eth1/queues/rx-$q/rps_flow_cnt = 2^X
Current hash function, using the X low order bits is suboptimal,
because RSS is usually using Func(hash) = (hash % power_of_two);
For example, with 32 RX queues, 6 low order bits have no entropy
for a given queue.
Switch this hash function to hash_32(hash, log) to increase
chances to use all possible slots and reduce collisions.

Move the more esoteric helpers for netdev instance lock to
a dedicated header. This avoids growing netdevice.h to infinity
and makes rebuilding the kernel much faster (after touching
the header with the helpers).
The main netdev_lock() / netdev_unlock() functions are used
in static inlines in netdevice.h and will probably be used
most commonly, so keep them in netdevice.h.

Rx/tx queues embed their own kobject for registering their per-queue
sysfs files. The issue is they're using the kobject default groups for
this and entirely rely on the kobject refcounting for releasing their
sysfs paths.
In order to remove rtnl_trylock calls we need sysfs files not to rely on
their associated kobject refcounting for their release. Thus we here
move queues sysfs files from the kobject default groups to their own
groups which can be removed separately.

There is an ABBA deadlock between net device unregistration and sysfs
files being accessed[1][2]. To prevent this from happening all paths
taking the rtnl lock after the sysfs one (actually kn->active refcount)
use rtnl_trylock and return early (using restart_syscall)[3], which can
make syscalls to spin for a long time when there is contention on the
rtnl lock[4].
There are not many possibilities to improve the above:
- Rework the entire net/ locking logic.
- Invert two locks in one of the paths — not possible.
But here it's actually possible to drop one of the locks safely: the
kernfs_node refcount. More details in the code itself, which comes with
lots of comments.
Note that we check the device is alive in the added sysfs_rtnl_lock
helper to disallow sysfs operations to run after device dismantle has
started. This also help keeping the same behavior as before. Because of
this calls to dev_isalive in sysfs ops were removed.

if (dev->class && dev->class->ns_type)

The usage looks weird since it checks @ns_type but calls namespace()
it is found for all existing class definitions that the other filed is
also assigned once one is assigned in current kernel tree, so fix this
weird usage by checking @namespace to call namespace().

In commit 6f8b12d661 ("net: napi: add hard irqs deferral feature")
napi_defer_irqs was added to net_device and napi_defer_irqs_count was
added to napi_struct, both as type int.
This value never goes below zero, so there is not reason for it to be a
signed int. Change the type for both from int to u32, and add an
overflow check to sysfs to limit the value to S32_MAX.
The limit of S32_MAX was chosen because the practical limit before this
patch was S32_MAX (anything larger was an overflow) and thus there are
no behavioral changes introduced. If the extra bit is needed in the
future, the limit can be raised.
Before this patch:
$ sudo bash -c 'echo 2147483649 > /sys/class/net/eth4/napi_defer_hard_irqs'
$ cat /sys/class/net/eth4/napi_defer_hard_irqs
-2147483647
After this patch:
$ sudo bash -c 'echo 2147483649 > /sys/class/net/eth4/napi_defer_hard_irqs'
bash: line 0: echo: write error: Numerical result out of range
Similarly, /sys/class/net/XXXXX/tx_queue_len is defined as unsigned:
include/linux/netdevice.h: unsigned int tx_queue_len;
And has an overflow check:
dev_change_tx_queue_len(..., unsigned long new_len):
if (new_len != (unsigned int)new_len)
return -ERANGE;

When CONFIG_DQL is not enabled, dql_group should be treated as a dead
declaration. However, its current extern declaration assumes the linker
will ignore it, which is generally true across most compiler and
architecture combinations.
But in certain cases, the linker still attempts to resolve the extern
struct, even when the associated code is dead, resulting in a linking
error. For instance the following error in loongarch64:
>> loongarch64-linux-ld: net-sysfs.c:(.text+0x589c): undefined reference to `dql_group'
Modify the declaration of the dead object to be an empty declaration
instead of an extern. This change will prevent the linker from
attempting to resolve an undefined reference.

The device is not present, note lack of __LINK_STATE_PRESENT (0b10).
This is the same sort of panic as observed in commit 4224cfd7fb

There are many other callers of __ethtool_get_link_ksettings() which

In fact, this structure contains a flexible array at the end, but
historically its size, alignment etc., is calculated manually.
There are several instances of the structure embedded into other
structures, but also there's ongoing effort to remove them and we
could in the meantime declare &net_device properly.
Declare the array explicitly, use struct_size() and store the array
size inside the structure, so that __counted_by() can be applied.
Don't use PTR_ALIGN(), as SLUB itself tries its best to ensure the
allocated buffer is aligned to what the user expects.
Also, change its alignment from %NETDEV_ALIGN to the cacheline size
as per several suggestions on the netdev ML.
bloat-o-meter for vmlinux:
free_netdev 445 440 -5
netdev_freemem 24 - -24
alloc_netdev_mqs 1481 1450 -31
On x86_64 with several NICs of different vendors, I was never able to
get a &net_device pointer not aligned to the cacheline size after the
change.

softnet_data->time_squeeze is sometimes used as a proxy for
host overload or indication of scheduling problems. In practice
this statistic is very noisy and has hard to grasp units -
e.g. is 10 squeezes a second to be expected, or high?
Delaying network (NAPI) processing leads to drops on NIC queues
but also RTT bloat, impacting pacing and CA decisions.
Stalls are a little hard to detect on the Rx side, because
there may simply have not been any packets received in given
period of time. Packet timestamps help a little bit, but
again we don't know if packets are stale because we're
not keeping up or because someone (*cough* cgroups)
disabled IRQs for a long time.
We can, however, use Tx as a proxy for Rx stalls. Most drivers
use combined Rx+Tx NAPIs so if Tx gets starved so will Rx.
On the Tx side we know exactly when packets get queued,
and completed, so there is no uncertainty.
This patch adds stall checks to BQL. Why BQL? Because
it's a convenient place to add such checks, already
called by most drivers, and it has copious free space
in its structures (this patch adds no extra cache
references or dirtying to the fast path).
The algorithm takes one parameter - max delay AKA stall
threshold and increments a counter whenever NAPI got delayed
for at least that amount of time. It also records the length
of the longest stall.
To be precise every time NAPI has not polled for at least
stall thrs we check if there were any Tx packets queued
between last NAPI run and now - stall_thrs/2.
Unlike the classic Tx watchdog this mechanism does not
ignore stalls caused by Tx being disabled, or loss of link.
I don't think the check is worth the complexity, and
stall is a stall, whether due to host overload, flow
control, link down... doesn't matter much to the application.
We have been running this detector in production at Meta
for 2 years, with the threshold of 8ms. It's the lowest
value where false positives become rare. There's still
a constant stream of reported stalls (especially without
the ksoftirqd deferral patches reverted), those who like
their stall metrics to be 0 may prefer higher value.

Creation of sysfs entries is expensive, mainly for workloads that
constantly creates netdev and netns often.
Do not create BQL sysfs entries for devices that don't need,
basically those that do not have a real queue, i.e, devices that has
NETIF_F_LLTX and IFF_NO_QUEUE, such as `lo` interface.
This will remove the /sys/class/net/eth0/queues/tx-X/byte_queue_limits/
directory for these devices.
In the example below, eth0 has the `byte_queue_limits` directory but not
`lo`.
# ls /sys/class/net/lo/queues/tx-0/
traffic_class tx_maxrate tx_timeout xps_cpus xps_rxqs
# ls /sys/class/net/eth0/queues/tx-0/byte_queue_limits/
hold_time inflight limit limit_max limit_min
This also removes the #ifdefs, since we can also use netdev_uses_bql() to
check if the config is enabled. (as suggested by Jakub).
