Willem de Bruijn says: ==================== udp gso fixes A few small fixes: - disallow segmentation with XFRM - do not leak gso packets into the ingress path Changes v1 -> v2 - fix build failure in team.c - drop scatter-gather fix: this is now fixed by commit 113f99c3 ("net: test tailroom before appending to linear skb"). After this patch gso skbs are built non-linear regardless of NETIF_F_SG and skb_segment builds linear segs. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Until the udp receive stack supports large packets (UDP GRO), GSO packets must not loop from the egress to the ingress path. Revert the change that added NETIF_F_GSO_UDP_L4 to various virtual devices through NETIF_F_GSO_ENCAP_ALL as this included devices that may loop packets, such as veth and macvlan. Instead add it to specific devices that forward to another device's egress path, bonding and team.

This patch makes the i2c-bus property mandatory when using a device tree. If the sfp i2c bus isn't described it's impossible to guess the protocol to use for a given module, and the sfp module would then not work in most cases.

In case no Tx disable pin is available the SFP modules will always be emitting. This could be an issue when using modules using laser as their light source as we would have no way to disable it when the fiber is removed. This patch adds a warning when registering an SFP cage which do not have its tx_disable pin wired or available.

Jakub Kicinski says: ==================== nfp: abm: add basic support for advanced buffering NIC This series lays groundwork for advanced buffer management NIC feature. It makes necessary NFP core changes, spawns representors and adds devlink glue. Following series will add the actual buffering configuration (patch series size limit). First three patches add support for configuring NFP buffer pools via a mailbox. The existing devlink APIs are used for the purpose. Third patch allows us to perform small reads from the NFP memory. The rest of the patch set adds eswitch mode change support and makes the driver spawn appropriate representors. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

When NFP is modelled as a switch we assign phys_port_name to respective port(representor )s: vNIC0 - | - PF port (pf%d) MAC/PHY (p%d[s%d]) - |E== In most cases there is only one vNIC for communication with the switch. If there is more than one we need to be able to identify them. Use %d as phys_port_name of the vNICs. We don't have to pass ID to nfp_net_debugfs_vnic_add() separately any more.

PCI PFs can host more than one logical endpoint. In NFP terms this means having more than one vNIC for PCIe PF. The vNICs are usually corresponding 1:1 to Ethernet ports. In core NIC we use the legacy idea of vNIC *being* the Ethernet port, hence netdevs put pX(sY) in their phys_port_name, like Ethernet ports would. When ASIC ports are fully represented we need to be able to name different PCIe PF ports, too. Use a scheme similar to Ethernet ports - pfXsY, for PCIe PF number X, sub-port Y.

Current control firmware does not cater too well to multi-host applications. There is no way to check which hosts are up or otherwise negotiate what the state of the external port (the Ethernet port) should be. Make sure the link is up when driver loads, and don't take it down when Ethernet port netdev is closed.

Our previous apps all assumed to use only one eswitch mode (legacy or switchdev) without the ability to change it. ABM NIC will want to support the switch so plumb devlink_eswitch_mode_set through. The devlink_eswitch_mode_set is expected to spawn representors and potentially devlink ports so it's called under big devlink lock and pf->lock.

Alexei Starovoitov says: ==================== bpfilter v2->v3: - followed Luis's suggestion and significantly simplied first patch with shmem_kernel_file_setup+kernel_write. Added kdoc for new helper - fixed typos and race to access pipes with mutex - tested with bpfilter being 'builtin'. CONFIG_BPFILTER_UMH=y|m both work. Interesting to see a usermode executable being embedded inside vmlinux. - it doesn't hurt to enable bpfilter in .config. ip_setsockopt commands sent to usermode via pipes and -ENOPROTOOPT is returned from userspace, so kernel falls back to original iptables code v1->v2: this patch set is almost a full rewrite of the earlier umh modules approach The v1 of patches and follow up discussion was covered by LWN: https://lwn.net/Articles/749108/ I believe the v2 addresses all issues brought up by Andy and others. Mainly there are zero changes to kernel/module.c Instead of teaching module loading logic to recognize special umh module, let normal kernel modules execute part of its own .init.rodata as a new user space process (Andy's idea) Patch 1 introduces this new helper: int fork_usermode_blob(void *data, size_t len, struct umh_info *info); Input: data + len == executable file Output: struct umh_info { struct file *pipe_to_umh; struct file *pipe_from_umh; pid_t pid; }; Advantages vs v1: - the embedded user mode executable is stored as .init.rodata inside normal kernel module. These pages are freed when .ko finishes loading - the elf file is copied into tmpfs file. The user mode process is swappable. - the communication between user mode process and 'parent' kernel module is done via two unix pipes, hence protocol is not exposed to user space - impossible to launch umh on its own (that was the main issue of v1) and impossible to be man-in-the-middle due to pipes - bpfilter.ko consists of tiny kernel part that passes the data between kernel and umh via pipes and much bigger umh part that doing all the work - 'lsmod' shows bpfilter.ko as usual. 'rmmod bpfilter' removes kernel module and kills corresponding umh - signed bpfilter.ko covers the whole image including umh code Few issues: - the user can still attach to the process and debug it with 'gdb /proc/pid/exe pid', but 'gdb -p pid' doesn't work. (a bit worse comparing to v1) - tinyconfig will notice a small increase in .text +766 | TEXT | 7c8b94806bec umh: introduce fork_usermode_blob() helper ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

bpfilter.ko consists of bpfilter_kern.c (normal kernel module code) and user mode helper code that is embedded into bpfilter.ko The steps to build bpfilter.ko are the following: - main.c is compiled by HOSTCC into the bpfilter_umh elf executable file - with quite a bit of objcopy and Makefile magic the bpfilter_umh elf file is converted into bpfilter_umh.o object file with _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_start and _end symbols Example: $ nm ./bld_x64/net/bpfilter/bpfilter_umh.o 0000000000004cf8 T _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_end 0000000000004cf8 A _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_size 0000000000000000 T _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_start - bpfilter_umh.o and bpfilter_kern.o are linked together into bpfilter.ko bpfilter_kern.c is a normal kernel module code that calls the fork_usermode_blob() helper to execute part of its own data as a user mode process. Notice that _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_start - end is placed into .init.rodata section, so it's freed as soon as __init function of bpfilter.ko is finished. As part of __init the bpfilter.ko does first request/reply action via two unix pipe provided by fork_usermode_blob() helper to make sure that umh is healthy. If not it will kill it via pid. Later bpfilter_process_sockopt() will be called from bpfilter hooks in get/setsockopt() to pass iptable commands into umh via bpfilter.ko If admin does 'rmmod bpfilter' the __exit code bpfilter.ko will kill umh as well.

Introduce helper: int fork_usermode_blob(void *data, size_t len, struct umh_info *info); struct umh_info { struct file *pipe_to_umh; struct file *pipe_from_umh; pid_t pid; }; that GPLed kernel modules (signed or unsigned) can use it to execute part of its own data as swappable user mode process. The kernel will do: - allocate a unique file in tmpfs - populate that file with [data, data + len] bytes - user-mode-helper code will do_execve that file and, before the process starts, the kernel will create two unix pipes for bidirectional communication between kernel module and umh - close tmpfs file, effectively deleting it - the fork_usermode_blob will return zero on success and populate 'struct umh_info' with two unix pipes and the pid of the user process As the first step in the development of the bpfilter project the fork_usermode_blob() helper is introduced to allow user mode code to be invoked from a kernel module. The idea is that user mode code plus normal kernel module code are built as part of the kernel build and installed as traditional kernel module into distro specified location, such that from a distribution point of view, there is no difference between regular kernel modules and kernel modules + umh code. Such modules can be signed, modprobed, rmmod, etc. The use of this new helper by a kernel module doesn't make it any special from kernel and user space tooling point of view. Such approach enables kernel to delegate functionality traditionally done by the kernel modules into the user space processes (either root or !root) and reduces security attack surface of the new code. The buggy umh code would crash the user process, but not the kernel. Another advantage is that umh code of the kernel module can be debugged and tested out of user space (e.g. opening the possibility to run clang sanitizers, fuzzers or user space test suites on the umh code). In case of the bpfilter project such architecture allows complex control plane to be done in the user space while bpf based data plane stays in the kernel. Since umh can crash, can be oom-ed by the kernel, killed by the admin, the kernel module that uses them (like bpfilter) needs to manage life time of umh on its own via two unix pipes and the pid of umh. The exit code of such kernel module should kill the umh it started, so that rmmod of the kernel module will cleanup the corresponding umh. Just like if the kernel module does kmalloc() it should kfree() it in the exit code. Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Jake provides all the changes in this series starting with making it consistent in how we approach the bit lock. Fixed the reporting of the VEB statistics and the queue statistics to always return every queue even if it is not currently in use. Use WARN_ONCE() so that the first time we end up with an incorrect size we will dump a stack trace and a message to help highlight the issue early in testing. Folded the fixed string prefix into the stat string definition. Instead of using a separate char *p pointer when copying strings, use the data pointer directly.

ECN signals currently forces TCP to enter quickack mode for up to 16 (TCP_MAX_QUICKACKS) following incoming packets. We believe this is not needed, and only sending one immediate ack for the current packet should be enough. This should reduce the extra load noticed in DCTCP environments, after congestion events.
