Alexei Starovoitov ec14325c73 Merge branch 'xdp-metadata-via-kfuncs-for-ice-vlan-hint'
Larysa Zaremba says:

====================
XDP metadata via kfuncs for ice + VLAN hint

This series introduces XDP hints via kfuncs [0] to the ice driver.

Series brings the following existing hints to the ice driver:
 - HW timestamp
 - RX hash with type

Series also introduces VLAN tag with protocol XDP hint, it now be accessed by
XDP and userspace (AF_XDP) programs. They can also be checked with xdp_metadata
test and xdp_hw_metadata program.

Impact of these patches on ice performance:
ZC:
* Full hints implementation decreases pps in ZC mode by less than 3%
  (64B, rxdrop)

skb (packets with invalid IP, dropped by stack):
* Overall, patchset improves peak performance in skb mode by about 0.5%

Changes since v7:
* shorten timestamp assignment in ice
* change first argument of ice_fill_rx_descs back to xsk_buff_pool
* fix kernel-doc for ice_run_xdp_zc
* add missing XSK_CHECK_PRIV_TYPE() in ice
* resolved selftests merge conflicts with TX hints
* AF_INET patch adds new packet generation, not replaces AF_XDP one
* fix destination port in xdp_metadata

Changes since v6:
* add ability to fill cb of all xdp_buffs in xsk_buff_pool
* place just pointer to packet context in ice_xdp_buff
* add const qualifiers in veth implementation
* generate uapi for VLAN hint

Changes since v5:
* drop checksum hint from the patchset entirely
* Alex's patch that lifts the data_meta size limitation is no longer
  required in this patchset, so will be sent separately
* new patch: hide some ice hints code behind a static key
* fix several bugs in ZC mode (ice)
* change argument order in VLAN hint kfunc (tci, proto -> proto, tci)
* cosmetic changes
* analyze performance impact

Changes since v4:
* Drop the concept of partial checksum from the hint design
* Drop the concept of checksum level from the hint design

Changes since v3:
* use XDP_CHECKSUM_VALID_LVL0 + csum_level instead of csum_level + 1
* fix spelling mistakes
* read XDP timestamp unconditionally
* add TO_STR() macro

Changes since v2:
* redesign checksum hint, so now it gives full status
* rename vlan_tag -> vlan_tci, where applicable
* use open_netns() and close_netns() in xdp_metadata
* improve VLAN hint documentation
* replace CFI with DEI
* use VLAN_VID_MASK in xdp_metadata
* make vlan_get_tag() return -ENODATA
* remove unused rx_ptype in ice_xsk.c
* fix ice timestamp code division between patches

Changes since v1:
* directly return RX hash, RX timestamp and RX checksum status
  in skb-common functions
* use intermediate enum value for checksum status in ice
* get rid of ring structure dependency in ice kfunc implementation
* make variables const, when possible, in ice implementation
* use -ENODATA instead of -EOPNOTSUPP for driver implementation
* instead of having 2 separate functions for c-tag and s-tag,
  use 1 function that outputs both VLAN tag and protocol ID
* improve documentation for introduced hints
* update xdp_metadata selftest to test new hints
* implement new hints in veth, so they can be tested in xdp_metadata
* parse VLAN tag in xdp_hw_metadata

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
