Gathering interface statistics can be a relatively expensive operation
on certain systems as it requires iterating over all the cpus.
RTEXT_FILTER_SKIP_STATS was first introduced [1] to skip AF_INET6
statistics from interface dumps and it was then extended [2] to
also exclude IFLA_VF_INFO.
The semantics of the flag does not seem to be limited to AF_INET
or VF statistics and having a way to query the interface status
(e.g: carrier, address) without retrieving its statistics seems
reasonable. So this patch extends the use RTEXT_FILTER_SKIP_STATS
to also affect IFLA_STATS.

- Split cq_lock into two smaller locks: cq_prod_lock and
cq_cached_prod_lock
- Avoid disabling/enabling interrupts in the hot xmit path
In either xsk_cq_cancel_locked() or xsk_cq_reserve_locked() function,
the race condition is only between multiple xsks sharing the same
pool. They are all in the process context rather than interrupt context,
so now the small lock named cq_cached_prod_lock can be used without
handling interrupts.
While cq_cached_prod_lock ensures the exclusive modification of
@cached_prod, cq_prod_lock in xsk_cq_submit_addr_locked() only cares
about @producer and corresponding @desc. Both of them don't necessarily
be consistent with @cached_prod protected by cq_cached_prod_lock.
That's the reason why the previous big lock can be split into two
smaller ones. Please note that SPSC rule is all about the global state
of producer and consumer that can affect both layers instead of local
or cached ones.
Frequently disabling and enabling interrupt are very time consuming
in some cases, especially in a per-descriptor granularity, which now
can be avoided after this optimization, even when the pool is shared by
multiple xsks.
With this patch, the performance number[1] could go from 1,872,565 pps
to 1,961,009 pps. It's a minor rise of around 5%.

The commit ac98d8aab6 ("xsk: wire upp Tx zero-copy functions")
originally introducing this lock put the deletion process in the
sk_destruct which can run in irq context obviously, so the
xxx_irqsave()/xxx_irqrestore() pair was used. But later another
commit 541d7fdd76 ("xsk: proper AF_XDP socket teardown ordering")
moved the deletion into xsk_release() that only happens in process
context. It means that since this commit, it doesn't necessarily
need that pair.
Now, there are two places that use this xsk_tx_list_lock and only
run in the process context. So avoid manipulating the irq then.

ethtool: introduce PHY MSE diagnostics UAPI and drivers
This series introduces a generic kernel-userspace API for retrieving PHY
Mean Square Error (MSE) diagnostics, together with netlink integration,
a fast-path reporting hook in LINKSTATE_GET, and initial driver
implementations for the KSZ9477 and DP83TD510E PHYs.
MSE is defined by the OPEN Alliance "Advanced diagnostic features for
100BASE-T1 automotive Ethernet PHYs" specification [1] as a measure of
slicer error rate, typically used internally to derive the Signal
Quality Indicator (SQI). While SQI is useful as a normalized quality
index, it hides raw measurement data, varies in scaling and thresholds
between vendors, and may not indicate certain failure modes - for
example, cases where autonegotiation would fail even though SQI reports
a good link. In practice, such scenarios can only be investigated in
fixed-link mode; here, MSE can provide an empirically estimated value
indicating conditions under which autonegotiation would not succeed.
Example output with current implementation:
root@DistroKit:~ ethtool lan1
Settings for lan1:
...
Speed: 1000Mb/s
Duplex: Full
...
Link detected: yes
SQI: 5/7
MSE: 3/127 (channel: worst)

MSE diagnostics for lan1:
MSE Configuration:
Max Average MSE: 127
Refresh Rate: 2000000 ps

Implement get_mse_capability() and get_mse_snapshot() for the DP83TD510E
to expose its Mean Square Error (MSE) register via the new PHY MSE
UAPI.
The DP83TD510E does not document any peak MSE values; it only exposes
a single average MSE register used internally to derive SQI. This
implementation therefore advertises only PHY_MSE_CAP_AVG, along with
LINK and channel-A selectors. Scaling is fixed to 0xFFFF, and the
refresh interval/number of symbols are estimated from 10BASE-T1L
symbol rate (7.5 MBd) and typical diagnostic intervals (~1 ms).
For 10BASE-T1L deployments, SQI is a reliable indicator of link
modulation quality once the link is established, but it does not
indicate whether autonegotiation pulses will be correctly received
in marginal conditions. MSE provides a direct measurement of slicer
error rate that can be used to evaluate if autonegotiation is likely
to succeed under a given cable length and condition. In practice,
testing such scenarios often requires forcing a fixed-link setup to
isolate MSE behaviour from the autonegotiation process.

Implement the get_mse_capability() and get_mse_snapshot() PHY driver ops
for KSZ9477-series integrated PHYs to demonstrate the new PHY MSE
UAPI.
These PHYs do not expose a documented direct MSE register, but the
Signal Quality Indicator (SQI) registers are derived from the
internal MSE computation. This hook maps SQI readings into the MSE
interface so that tooling can retrieve the raw value together with
metadata for correct interpretation in userspace.
Behaviour:
- For 1000BASE-T, report per-channel (A–D) values and support a
WORST channel selector.
- For 100BASE-TX, only LINK-wide measurements are available.
- Report average MSE only, with a max scale based on
KSZ9477_MMD_SQI_MASK and a fixed refresh rate of 2 µs.
This mapping differs from the OPEN Alliance SQI definition, which
assigns thresholds such as pre-fail indices; the MSE interface
instead provides the raw measurement, leaving interpretation to
userspace.

Introduce the userspace entry point for PHY MSE diagnostics via
ethtool netlink. This exposes the core API added previously and
returns both capability information and one or more snapshots.
Userspace sends ETHTOOL_MSG_MSE_GET. The reply carries:
- ETHTOOL_A_MSE_CAPABILITIES: scale limits and timing information
- ETHTOOL_A_MSE_CHANNEL_* nests: one or more snapshots (per-channel
if available, otherwise WORST, otherwise LINK)
Link down returns -ENETDOWN.
Changes:
- YAML: add attribute sets (mse, mse-capabilities, mse-snapshot)
and the mse-get operation
- UAPI (generated): add ETHTOOL_A_MSE_* enums and message IDs,
ETHTOOL_MSG_MSE_GET/REPLY
- ethtool core: add net/ethtool/mse.c implementing the request,

Add the base infrastructure for Mean Square Error (MSE) diagnostics,
as proposed by the OPEN Alliance "Advanced diagnostic features for
100BASE-T1 automotive Ethernet PHYs" [1] specification.
The OPEN Alliance spec defines only average MSE and average peak MSE
over a fixed number of symbols. However, other PHYs, such as the
KSZ9131, additionally expose a worst-peak MSE value latched since the
last channel capture. This API accounts for such vendor extensions by
adding a distinct capability bit and snapshot field.
Channel-to-pair mapping is normally straightforward, but in some cases
(e.g. 100BASE-TX with MDI-X resolution unknown) the mapping is ambiguous.
If hardware does not expose MDI-X status, the exact pair cannot be
determined. To avoid returning misleading per-channel data in this case,
a LINK selector is defined for aggregate MSE measurements.
All investigated devices differ in MSE capabilities, such
as sample rate, number of analyzed symbols, and scaling factors.
For example, the KSZ9131 uses different scaling for MSE and pMSE.
To make this visible to callers, scale limits and timing information
are returned via get_mse_capability().
Some PHYs sample very few symbols at high frequency (e.g. 2 us update
rate). To cover such cases and allow for future high-speed PHYs with
even shorter intervals, the refresh rate is reported as u64 in
picoseconds.
This patch introduces the internal PHY API for Mean Square Error
diagnostics. It defines new kernel-side data types and driver hooks:
- struct phy_mse_capability: describes supported metrics, scale
limits, update interval, and sampling length.
- struct phy_mse_snapshot: holds one correlated measurement set.
- New phy_driver ops: `get_mse_capability()` and `get_mse_snapshot()`.
These definitions form the core kernel API. No user-visible interfaces
are added in this commit.
Standardization notes:
OPEN Alliance defines presence and interpretation of some metrics but does
not fix numeric scales or sampling internals:
- SQI (3-bit, 0..7) is mandatory; correlation to SNR/BER is informative
(OA 100BASE-T1 TC1 v1.0 6.1.2; OA 1000BASE-T1 TC12 v2.2 6.1.2).
- MSE is optional; OA recommends 2^16 symbols and scaling to 0..511,
with a worst-case latch since last read (OA 100BASE-T1 TC1 v1.0 6.1.1; OA
1000BASE-T1 TC12 v2.2 6.1.1). Refresh is recommended (~0.8-2.0 ms for
100BASE-T1; ~80-200 us for 1000BASE-T1). Exact scaling/time windows
are vendor-specific.
- Peak MSE (pMSE) is defined only for 100BASE-T1 as optional, e.g.
128-symbol sliding window with 8-bit range and worst-case latch (OA
100BASE-T1 TC1 v1.0 6.1.3).
Therefore this API exposes which measures and selectors a PHY supports,
and documents where behavior is standard-referenced vs vendor-specific.

====================
Add support to do threaded napi busy poll
Extend the already existing support of threaded napi poll to do continuous
busy polling.
This is used for doing continuous polling of napi to fetch descriptors
from backing RX/TX queues for low latency applications. Allow enabling
of threaded busypoll using netlink so this can be enabled on a set of
dedicated napis for low latency applications.
Once enabled user can fetch the PID of the kthread doing NAPI polling
and set affinity, priority and scheduler for it depending on the
low-latency requirements.
Extend the netlink interface to allow enabling/disabling threaded
busypolling at individual napi level.
We use this for our AF_XDP based hard low-latency usecase with usecs
level latency requirement. For our usecase we want low jitter and stable
latency at P99.
Following is an analysis and comparison of available (and compatible)
busy poll interfaces for a low latency usecase with stable P99. This can
be suitable for applications that want very low latency at the expense
of cpu usage and efficiency.
Already existing APIs (SO_BUSYPOLL and epoll) allow busy polling a NAPI
backing a socket, but the missing piece is a mechanism to busy poll a
NAPI instance in a dedicated thread while ignoring available events or
packets, regardless of the userspace API. Most existing mechanisms are
designed to work in a pattern where you poll until new packets or events
are received, after which userspace is expected to handle them.
As a result, one has to hack together a solution using a mechanism
intended to receive packets or events, not to simply NAPI poll. NAPI
threaded busy polling, on the other hand, provides this capability
natively, independent of any userspace API. This makes it really easy to
setup and manage.
For analysis we use an AF_XDP based benchmarking tool `xsk_rr`. The
description of the tool and how it tries to simulate the real workload
is following,
- It sends UDP packets between 2 machines.
- The client machine sends packets at a fixed frequency. To maintain the
frequency of the packet being sent, we use open-loop sampling. That is
the packets are sent in a separate thread.
- The server replies to the packet inline by reading the pkt from the
recv ring and replies using the tx ring.
- To simulate the application processing time, we use a configurable
delay in usecs on the client side after a reply is received from the
server.
The xsk_rr tool is posted separately as an RFC for tools/testing/selftest.
We use this tool with following napi polling configurations,
- Interrupts only
- SO_BUSYPOLL (inline in the same thread where the client receives the
packet).
- SO_BUSYPOLL (separate thread and separate core)
- Threaded NAPI busypoll
System is configured using following script in all 4 cases,

## Observations
- Here without application processing all the approaches give the same
latency within 1usecs range and NAPI threaded gives minimum latency.
- With application processing the latency increases by 3-4usecs when
doing inline polling.
- Using a dedicated core to drive napi polling keeps the latency same
even with application processing. This is observed both in userspace
and threaded napi (in kernel).
- Using napi threaded polling in kernel gives lower latency by
1-2usecs as compared to userspace driven polling in separate core.
- Even on a dedicated core, SO_BUSYPOLL adds around 1-2usecs of latency.
This is because it doesn't continuously busy poll until events are
ready. Instead, it returns after polling only once, requiring the
process to re-invoke the syscall for each poll, which requires a new
enter/leave kernel cycle and the setup/teardown of the busy poll for
every single poll attempt.
- With application processing userspace will get the packet from recv
ring and spend some time doing application processing and then do napi
polling. While application processing is happening a dedicated core
doing napi polling can pull the packet of the NAPI RX queue and
populate the AF_XDP recv ring. This means that when the application
thread is done with application processing it has new packets ready to
recv and process in recv ring.
- Napi threaded busy polling in the kernel with a dedicated core gives
the consistent P5-P99 latency.
Note well that threaded napi busy-polling has not been shown to yield
efficiency or throughput benefits. In contrast, dedicating an entire
core to busy-polling one NAPI (NIC queue) is rather inefficient.
However, in certain specific use cases, this mechanism results in lower
packet processing latency. The experimental testing reported here only
covers those use cases and does not present a comprehensive evaluation
of threaded napi busy-polling.
Following histogram is generated to measure the time spent in recvfrom
while using inline thread with SO_BUSYPOLL. The histogram is generated
using the following bpftrace command. In this experiment there are 32K
packets per second and the application processing delay is 30usecs. This
is to measure whether there is significant time spent pulling packets
from the descriptor queue that it will affect the overall latency if
done inline.
```
bpftrace -e '
kprobe:xsk_recvmsg {
@start[tid] = nsecs;
}
kretprobe:xsk_recvmsg {
if (@start[tid]) {
$sample = (nsecs - @start[tid]);
@xsk_recvfrom_hist = hist($sample);
delete(@start[tid]);
}
}
END { clear(@start);}'
```
Here in case of inline busypolling around 35 percent of calls are taking
1-2usecs and around 50 percent are taking 0.5-2usecs.

Add a new state NAPI_STATE_THREADED_BUSY_POLL to the NAPI state enum to
enable and disable threaded busy polling.
When threaded busy polling is enabled for a NAPI, enable
NAPI_STATE_THREADED also.
When the threaded NAPI is scheduled, set NAPI_STATE_IN_BUSY_POLL to
signal napi_complete_done not to rearm interrupts.
Whenever NAPI_STATE_THREADED_BUSY_POLL is unset, the
NAPI_STATE_IN_BUSY_POLL will be unset, napi_complete_done unsets the
NAPI_STATE_SCHED_THREADED bit also, which in turn will make the kthread
go to sleep.

mpls: Remove RTNL dependency.
MPLS uses RTNL
1) to guarantee the lifetime of struct mpls_nh.nh_dev
2) to protect net->mpls.platform_label
, but neither actually requires RTNL.
If struct mpls_nh holds a refcnt for nh_dev, we do not need RTNL,
and it can be replaced with a dedicated mutex.
The series removes RTNL from net/mpls/.
Overview:
Patch 1 is misc cleanup.
Patch 2 - 9 are prep to drop RTNL for RTM_{NEW,DEL,GET}ROUTE
handlers.
Patch 10 & 11 converts mpls_dump_routes() and RTM_GETNETCONF to RCU.
Patch 12 replaces RTNL with a new per-netns mutex.
Patch 13 drops RTNL from RTM_{NEW,DEL,GET}ROUTE.

2) to protect net->mpls.platform_label

If we do not call dev_put() in find_outdev() and call it

If mpls_nh_build_multi() fails to set up a neighbour, we need
to call netdev_put() for successfully created neighbours in
mpls_rt_free_rcu(), so the number of neighbours (rt->rt_nhn)
is now updated in each iteration.
When a dev is unregistered, mpls_ifdown() clones mpls_route

Rev.G.
- Introduces link status control configuration for LAN867x Rev.D0.

Configure the link status in the Link Status Control register for
LAN8670/1/2 Rev.D0 PHYs, depending on whether PLCA or CSMA/CD mode
is enabled. When PLCA is enabled, the link status reflects the PLCA
status. When PLCA is disabled (CSMA/CD mode), the PHY does not support
autonegotiation, so the link status is forced active by setting
the LINK_STATUS_SEMAPHORE bit.
The link status control is configured:
- During PHY initialization, for default CSMA/CD mode.
- Whenever PLCA configuration is updated.
This ensures correct link reporting and consistent behavior for
LAN867x Rev.D0 devices.

When operating in "SGMII" mode (Cisco SGMII or 2500BASE-X), qcom-ethqos
modifies the MAC control register in its ethqos_configure_sgmii()
function, which is only called from one path:
stmmac_mac_link_up()
+- reads MAC_CTRL_REG
+- masks out priv->hw->link.speed_mask
+- sets bits according to speed (2500, 1000, 100, 10) from priv->hw.link.speed*
+- ethqos_fix_mac_speed()
| +- qcom_ethqos_set_sgmii_loopback(false)
| +- ethqos_update_link_clk(speed)
| `- ethqos_configure(speed)
| `- ethqos_configure_sgmii(speed)
| +- reads MAC_CTRL_REG,
| +- configures PS/FES bits according to speed
| `- writes MAC_CTRL_REG as the last operation
+- sets duplex bit(s)
+- stmmac_mac_flow_ctrl()
+- writes MAC_CTRL_REG if changed from original read
...
As can be seen, the modification of the control register that
stmmac_mac_link_up() overwrites the changes that ethqos_fix_mac_speed()
does to the register. This makes ethqos_configure_sgmii()'s
modification questionable at best.
Analysing the values written, GMAC4 sets the speed bits as:
speed_mask = GMAC_CONFIG_FES | GMAC_CONFIG_PS
speed2500 = GMAC_CONFIG_FES B14=1 B15=0
speed1000 = 0 B14=0 B15=0
speed100 = GMAC_CONFIG_FES | GMAC_CONFIG_PS B14=1 B15=1
speed10 = GMAC_CONFIG_PS B14=0 B15=1
Whereas ethqos_configure_sgmii():
2500: clears ETHQOS_MAC_CTRL_PORT_SEL B14=X B15=0
1000: clears ETHQOS_MAC_CTRL_PORT_SEL B14=X B15=0
100: sets ETHQOS_MAC_CTRL_PORT_SEL | B14=1 B15=1
ETHQOS_MAC_CTRL_SPEED_MODE
10: sets ETHQOS_MAC_CTRL_PORT_SEL B14=0 B15=1
clears ETHQOS_MAC_CTRL_SPEED_MODE
Thus, they appear to be doing very similar, with the exception of the
FES bit (bit 14) for 1G and 2.5G speeds.
Given that stmmac_mac_link_up() will write the MAC_CTRL_REG after
ethqos_configure_sgmii(), remove the unnecessary update in the
glue driver's ethqos_configure_sgmii() method, simplifying the code.
Konrad states:
Without any additional knowledge, the register description says:
2500: B14=1 B15=0
1000: B14=0 B15=0
100: B14=1 B15=1

This series by Carolina migrates mlx5e and IPoIB to the
ndo_hwtstamp_get/set interface and removes legacy hardware timestamp
ioctl handling. While doing so, it also cleans up naming and removes
redundant code.
No functional change in timestamp behavior.
Cleanup patches:
- net/mlx5e: Remove redundant tstamp pointer from channel structures
- net/mlx5e: Remove unnecessary tstamp local variable in mlx5i_complete_rx_cqe
- net/mlx5e: Rename hwstamp functions to hwtstamp
- net/mlx5e: Rename timestamp fields to hwtstamp_config
Add suppport in ipoib:
- IB/IPoIB: Add support for hwtstamp get/set ndos
Convert mlx5:
- net/mlx5e: Convert to new hwtstamp_get/set interface

Add support for the ndo_hwtstamp_get and ndo_hwtstamp_set operations in
IPoIB. This allows lower devices to handle hardware timestamp
configuration through the new ndos instead of the legacy ioctls.

Rename hardware timestamp-related fields from 'tstamp' to
'hwtstamp_config' throughout the MLX5 driver. The new name is more
descriptive as it clearly indicates these fields contain hardware
timestamp configuration.

Remove the tstamp local variable in mlx5i_complete_rx_cqe() and directly
pass the tstamp field from priv to mlx5e_rx_hw_stamp(). The local variable
was only used once and provided no additional value.

Remove the tstamp pointer field from mlx5e_channel, mlx5e_ptp, and
mlx5e_trap structures, since it was only used to reference the tstamp
field in the priv structure. Instead, directly use the tstamp field
from priv when initializing RQ structures.
Also remove the unused hwtstamp_config field from mlx5_clock structure
as part of the cleanup.
