Core provides a centralized callback for validating per-queue settings
but the callback is part of the queue management ops. Having the ops
conditionally set complicates the parts of the driver which could
otherwise lean on the core to feed it the correct settings.
Always set the queue ops, but provide no restart-related callbacks if
queue ops are not supported by the device. This should maintain current
behavior, the check in netdev_rx_queue_restart() looks both at op struct
and individual ops.

In preparation for testing GSO over UDP tunnels, enhance the test
infrastructure to support a more complex data path involving a TUN
device and a GENEVE udp tunnel.
This patch introduces a dedicated setup/teardown topology that creates
both a GENEVE tunnel interface and a TUN interface. The TUN device acts
as the VTEP (Virtual Tunnel Endpoint), allowing it to send and receive
virtio-net packets. This setup effectively tests the kernel's data path
for encapsulated traffic.
Note that after adding a new address to the UDP tunnel, we need to wait
a bit until the associated route is available.
Additionally, a new data structure is defined to manage test parameters.
This structure is designed to be extensible, allowing different test
data and configurations to be easily added in subsequent patches.

====================
geneve: introduce double tunnel GSO/GRO support
This is the [belated] incarnation of topic discussed in the last Neconf
[1].
In container orchestration in virtual environments there is a consistent
usage of double UDP tunneling - specifically geneve. Such setup lack
support of GRO and GSO for inter VM traffic.
After commit b430f6c38d ("Merge branch 'virtio_udp_tunnel_08_07_2025'
of https://github.com/pabeni/linux-devel") and the qemu cunter-part, VMs
are able to send/receive GSO over UDP aggregated packets.
This series introduces the missing bit for full end-to-end aggregation
in the above mentioned scenario. Specifically:
- introduces a new netdev feature set to generalize existing per device
driver GSO admission check.1
- adds GSO partial support for the geneve and vxlan drivers
- introduces and use a geneve option to assist double tunnel GRO
- adds some simple functional tests for the above.
The new device features set is not strictly needed for the following
work, but avoids the introduction of trivial `ndo_features_check` to
support GSO partial and thus possible performance regression due to the
additional indirect call. Such feature set could be leveraged by a
number of existing drivers (intel, meta and possibly wangxun) to avoid
duplicate code/tests. Such part has been omitted here to keep the series
small.
Both GSO partial support and double GRO support have some downsides.
With the first in place, GSO partial packets will traverse the network
stack 'downstream' the outer geneve UDP tunnel and will be visible by
the udp/IP/IPv6 and by netfilter. Currently only H/W NICs implement GSO
partial support and such packets are visible only via software taps.
Double UDP tunnel GRO will cook 'GSO partial' like aggregate packets,
i.e. the inner UDP encapsulation headers set will still carry the
wire-level lengths and csum, so that segmentation considering such
headers parts of a giant, constant encapsulation header will yield the
correct result.
The correct GSO packet layout is applied when the packet traverse the
outermost geneve encapsulation.
Both GSO partial and double UDP encap are disabled by default and must
be explicitly enabled via, respectively ethtool and geneve device
configuration.
Finally note that the GSO partial feature could potentially be applied
to all the other UDP tunnels, but this series limits its usage to geneve
and vxlan devices.

At the GRO stage, when a valid hint option is found, try match the whole
nested headers and try to aggregate on the inner protocol; in case of hdr
mismatch extract the nested address and port to properly flush on a
per-inner flow basis.
On GRO completion, the (unmodified) nested headers will be considered part
of the (constant) outer geneve encap header so that plain UDP tunnel
segmentation will yield valid wire packets.
In the geneve RX path, when processing a GSO packet carrying a GRO hint
option, update the nested header length fields from the wire packet size to
the GSO-packet one. If the nested header additionally carries a checksum,
convert it to CSUM-partial.
Finally, when the RX path leverages the GRO hints, skip the additional GRO
stage done by GRO cells: otherwise the already set skb->encapsulation flag
will foul the GRO cells complete step to use touch the innermost IP header
when it should update the nested csum, corrupting the packet.

Add helpers for finding a GRO hint option in the geneve header, performing
basic sanitization of the option offsets vs the actual packet layout,
validate the option for GRO aggregation and check the nested header
checksum.
The validation helper closely mirrors similar check performed by the ipv4
and ipv6 gro callbacks, with the additional twist of accessing the
relevant network header via the GRO hint offset.
To validate the nested UDP checksum, leverage the csum completed of the
outer header, similarly to LCO, with the main difference that in this case
we have the outer checksum available.
Use the helpers to extract the hint info at the GRO stage.

Some/most devices implementing gso_partial need to disable the GSO partial
features when the IP ID can't be mangled; to that extend each of them
implements something alike the following[1]:
if (skb->encapsulation && !(features & NETIF_F_TSO_MANGLEID))
features &= ~NETIF_F_TSO;
in the ndo_features_check() op, which leads to a bit of duplicate code.
Later patch in the series will implement GSO partial support for virtual
devices, and the current status quo will require more duplicate code and
a new indirect call in the TX path for them.
Introduce the mangleid_features mask, allowing the core to disable NIC
features based on/requiring MANGLEID, without any further intervention
from the driver.
The same functionality could be alternatively implemented adding a single
boolean flag to the struct net_device, but would require an additional
checks in ndo_features_check().
Also note that [1] is incorrect if the NIC additionally implements
NETIF_F_GSO_UDP_L4, mangleid_features transparently handle even such a

RFC 4884 extended certain ICMP messages with a length attribute that
encodes the length of the "original datagram" field. This is needed so
that new information could be appended to these messages without
applications thinking that it is part of the "original datagram" field.
In version 5.9, the kernel was extended with two new socket options
(SOL_IP/IP_RECVERR_4884 and SOL_IPV6/IPV6_RECVERR_RFC4884) that allow
user space to retrieve this length which is basically the offset to the
ICMP Extension Structure at the end of the ICMP message. This is
required by user space applications that need to parse the information
contained in the ICMP Extension Structure. For example, the RFC 5837
extension for tracepath.
Add a selftest that verifies correct handling of the RFC 4884 length
field for both IPv4 and IPv6, with and without extension structures,
and validates that malformed extensions are correctly reported as invalid.
For each address family, the test creates:
- a raw socket used to send locally crafted ICMP error packets to the
loopback address, and
- a datagram socket used to receive the encapsulated original datagram
and associated error metadata from the kernel error queue.
ICMP packets are constructed entirely in user space rather than relying
on kernel-generated errors. This allows the test to exercise invalid
scenarios (such as corrupted checksums and incorrect length fields) and
verify that the SO_EE_RFC4884_FLAG_INVALID flag is set as expected.

net: stmmac: dwmac: enforce preamble before SFD for i.MX8MP
This series adds a new phy_device flag PHY_F_KEEP_PREAMBLE_BEFORE_SFD
that allows a MAC driver to request to keep the preamble bytes before
the start frame delimiter (SFD) when receiving frames from the PHY.
This flag is set in the stmmac driver for the i.MX8MP SoC due to errata
(ERR050694), which causes it to drop frames without a preamble.
The Micrel KSZ9131 PHY supports keeping the preamble before SFD by
setting an undocumented flag, that was confirmed by NXP and Micrel. This
new feature has been added to the Micrel PHY driver for the KSZ9131 PHY.

The stmmac implementation used by NXP for the i.MX8MP SoC is subject to
errata ERR050694. According to this errata, when no preamble byte is
transferred before the SFD from the PHY to the MAC, the MAC will discard
the frame.
Setting the PHY_F_KEEP_PREAMBLE_BEFORE_SFD flag instructs PHYs that
support it to keep the preamble byte before the SFD. This ensures that
the MAC successfully receives frames.
As this is an issue in the MAC implementation, only enable the flag for
the i.MX8MP SoC where the errata applies but not for other SoCs using a
working stmmac implementation.
The exact wording of the errata ERR050694 from NXP:
The IEEE 802.3 standard states that, in MII/GMII modes, the byte
preceding the SFD (0xD5), SMD-S (0xE6,0x4C, 0x7F, or 0xB3), or SMD-C
(0x61, 0x52, 0x9E, or 0x2A) byte can be a non-PREAMBLE byte or there can
be no preceding preamble byte. The MAC receiver must successfully
receive a packet without any preamble(0x55) byte preceding the SFD,
SMD-S, or SMD-C byte.
However due to the defect, in configurations where frame preemption is
enabled, when preamble byte does not precede the SFD, SMD-S, or SMD-C
byte, the received packet is discarded by the MAC receiver. This is
because, the start-of-packet detection logic of the MAC receiver
incorrectly checks for a preamble byte.
NXP refers to IEEE 802.3 where in clause 35.2.3.2.2 Receive case (GMII)
they show two tables one where the preamble is preceding the SFD and one
where it is not. The text says:
The operation of 1000 Mb/s PHYs can result in shrinkage of the preamble
between transmission at the source GMII and reception at the destination
GMII. Table 35-3 depicts the case where no preamble bytes are conveyed
across the GMII. This case may not be possible with a specific PHY, but
illustrates the minimum preamble with which MAC shall be able to
operate. Table 35-4 depicts the case where the entire preamble is
conveyed across the GMII.
This workaround was tested on a Verdin iMX8MP by enforcing 10 MBit/s:
ethtool -s end0 speed 10
Without keeping the preamble, no packet were received. With keeping the
preamble, everything worked as expected.

If the PHY_F_KEEP_PREAMBLE_BEFORE_SFD flag is set in the
phy_device::dev_flags field, the preamble will be kept before the start
frame delimiter (SFD) on the KSZ9131 PHY. This flag is not officially
documented by Micrel. However, information provided by NXP and Micrel
indicates that this flag ensures the PHY sends the full preamble instead
of removing it. The full discussion can be found on the NXP forum:

Add a new flag, PHY_F_KEEP_PREAMBLE_BEFORE_SFD, to indicate that the PHY
shall not remove the preamble before the SFD if it supports it. MACs
that do not support receiving frames without a preamble can set this
flag.

Florian Westphal says:
====================
netfilter: updates for net-next
There is an issue with interval matching in nftables rbtree set type:
When userspace sends us set updates, there is a brief window where
false negative lookups may occur from the data plane. Quoting Pablos
original cover letter:
This series addresses this issue by translating the rbtree, which keeps
the intervals in order, to binary search. The array is published to
packet path through RCU. The idea is to keep using the rbtree
datastructure for control plane, which needs to deal with updates, then
generate an array using this rbtree for binary search lookups.
Patch #1 allows to call .remove in case .abort is defined, which is
needed by this new approach. Only pipapo needs to skip .remove to speed.
Patch #2 add the binary search array approach for interval matching.
Patch #3 updates .get to use the binary search array to find for
(closest or exact) interval matching.
Patch #4 removes seqcount_rwlock_t as it is not needed anymore (new in
this series).

Pretty big PR, but hard to make up any cohesive story that would
explain it, a random collection of fixes. The two reverts of bad
patches from this release here feel like stuff that'd normally
show up by rc5 or rc6. Perhaps obvious thing to say, given the MW
timing.
That said, no active investigations / regressions. Let's see what
the next week brings.

Rework .get interface to use the binary search array, this needs a specific
lookup function to match on end intervals (<=). Packet path lookup is slight
different because match is on lesser value, not equal (ie. <).
After this patch, seqcount can be removed in a follow up patch.

The rbtree can temporarily store overlapping inactive elements during
the transaction processing, leading to false negative lookups.
To address this issue, this patch adds a .commit function that walks the
the rbtree to build a array of intervals of ordered elements. This
conversion compacts the two singleton elements that represent the start
and the end of the interval into a single interval object for space
efficient.
Binary search is O(log n), similar to rbtree lookup time, therefore,
performance number should be similar, and there is an implementation
available under lib/bsearch.c and include/linux/bsearch.h that is used
for this purpose.
This slightly increases memory consumption for this new array that
stores pointers to the start and the end of the interval.

With this patch, with IPv4 intervals:
baseline rbtree (match on first field only): 15254954pps

This provides a ~50% improvement in matching intervals from packet path.

The pipapo set backend is the only user of the .abort interface so far.
To speed up pipapo abort path, removals are skipped.
The follow up patch updates the rbtree to use to build an array of
ordered elements, then use binary search. This needs a new .abort
interface but, unlike pipapo, it also need to undo/remove elements.
Add a flag and use it from the pipapo set backend.
