      net: devlink: move netdev notifier block to dest namespace during reload · 15feb56e
      Jiri Pirko authored 
      The notifier block tracking netdev changes in devlink is registered
during devlink_alloc() per-net, it is then unregistered
in devlink_free(). When devlink moves from net namespace to another one,
the notifier block needs to move along.

Fix this by adding forgotten call to move the block.

      net: introduce a helper to move notifier block to different namespace · 3e52fba0
      Jiri Pirko authored 
      Currently, net_dev() netdev notifier variant follows the netdev with
per-net notifier from namespace to namespace. This is implemented
by move_netdevice_notifiers_dev_net() helper.

For devlink it is needed to re-register per-net notifier during
devlink reload. Introduce a new helper called
move_netdevice_notifier_net() and share the unregister/register code
with existing move_netdevice_notifiers_dev_net() helper.

      genetlink: correctly begin the iteration over policies · 154ba79c
      Jakub Kicinski authored 
      The return value from genl_op_iter_init() only tells us if
there are any policies but to begin the iteration (and therefore
load the first entry) we need to call genl_op_iter_next().
Note that it's safe to call genl_op_iter_next() on a family
with no ops, it will just return false.

This may lead to various crashes, a warning in
netlink_policy_dump_get_policy_idx() when policy is not found
or.. no problem at all if the kmalloc'ed memory happens to be
zeroed.

      rxrpc changes

David Howells says:

====================
rxrpc: Increasing SACK size and moving away from softirq, part 1

AF_RXRPC has some issues that need addressing:

 (1) The SACK table has a maximum capacity of 255, but for modern networks
     that isn't sufficient.  This is hard to increase in the upstream code
     because of the way the application thread is coupled to the softirq
     and retransmission side through a ring buffer.  Adjustments to the rx
     protocol allows a capacity of up to 8192, and having a ring
     sufficiently large to accommodate that would use an excessive amount
     of memory as this is per-call.

 (2) Processing ACKs in softirq mode causes the ACKs get conflated, with
     only the most recent being considered.  Whilst this has the upside
     that the retransmission algorithm only needs to deal with the most
     recent ACK, it causes DATA transmission for a call to be very bursty
     because DATA packets cannot be transmitted in softirq mode.  Rather
     transmission must be delegated to either the application thread or a
     workqueue, so there tend to be sudden bursts of traffic for any
     particular call due to scheduling delays.

 (3) All crypto in a single call is done in series; however, each DATA
     packet is individually encrypted so encryption and decryption of large
     calls could be parallelised if spare CPU resources are available.

This is the first of a number of sets of patches that try and address them.
The overall aims of these changes include:

 (1) To get rid of the TxRx ring and instead pass the packets round in
     queues (eg. sk_buff_head).  On the Tx side, each ACK packet comes with
     a SACK table that can be parsed as-is, so there's no particular need
     to maintain our own; we just have to refer to the ACK.

     On the Rx side, we do need to maintain a SACK table with one bit per
     entry - but only if packets go missing - and we don't want to have to
     perform a complex transformation to get the information into an ACK
     packet.

 (2) To try and move almost all processing of received packets out of the
     softirq handler and into a high-priority kernel I/O thread.  Only the
     transferral of packets would be left there.  I would still use the
     encap_rcv hook to receive packets as there's a noticeable performance
     drop from letting the UDP socket put the packets into its own queue
     and then getting them out of there.

 (3) To make the I/O thread also do all the transmission.  The app thread
     would be responsible for packaging the data into packets and then
     buffering them for the I/O thread to transmit.  This would make it
     easier for the app thread to run ahead of the I/O thread, and would
     mean the I/O thread is less likely to have to wait around for a new
     packet to come available for transmission.

 (4) To logically partition the socket/UAPI/KAPI side of things from the
     I/O side of things.  The local endpoint, connection, peer and call
     objects would belong to the I/O side.  The socket side would not then
     touch the private internals of calls and suchlike and would not change
     their states.  It would only look at the send queue, receive queue and
     a way to pass a message to cause an abort.

 (5) To remove as much locking, synchronisation, barriering and atomic ops
     as possible from the I/O side.  Exclusion would be achieved by
     limiting modification of state to the I/O thread only.  Locks would
     still need to be used in communication with the UDP socket and the
     AF_RXRPC socket API.

 (6) To provide crypto offload kernel threads that, when there's slack in
     the system, can see packets that need crypting and provide
     parallelisation in dealing with them.

 (7) To remove the use of system timers.  Since each timer would then send
     a poke to the I/O thread, which would then deal with it when it had
     the opportunity, there seems no point in using system timers if,
     instead, a list of timeouts can be sensibly consulted.  An I/O thread
     only then needs to schedule with a timeout when it is idle.

 (8) To use zero-copy sendmsg to send packets.  This would make use of the
     I/O thread being the sole transmitter on the socket to manage the
     dead-reckoning sequencing of the completion notifications.  There is a
     problem with zero-copy, though: the UDP socket doesn't handle running
     out of option memory very gracefully.

With regard to this first patchset, the changes made include:

 (1) Some fixes, including a fallback for proc_create_net_single_write(),
     setting ack.bufferSize to 0 in ACK packets and a fix for rxrpc
     congestion management, which shouldn't be saving the cwnd value
     between calls.

 (2) Improvements in rxrpc tracepoints, including splitting the timer
     tracepoint into a set-timer and a timer-expired trace.

 (3) Addition of a new proc file to display some stats.

 (4) Some code cleanups, including removing some unused bits and
     unnecessary header inclusions.

 (5) A change to the recently added UDP encap_err_rcv hook so that it has
     the same signature as {ip,ipv6}_icmp_error(), and then just have rxrpc
     point its UDP socket's hook directly at those.

 (6) Definition of a new struct, rxrpc_txbuf, that is used to hold
     transmissible packets of DATA and ACK type in a single 2KiB block
     rather than using an sk_buff.  This allows the buffer to be on a
     number of queues simultaneously more easily, and also guarantees that
     the entire block is in a single unit for zerocopy purposes and that
     the data payload is aligned for in-place crypto purposes.

 (7) ACK txbufs are allocated at proposal and queued for later transmission
     rather than being stored in a single place in the rxrpc_call struct,
     which means only a single ACK can be pending transmission at a time.
     The queue is then drained at various points.  This allows the ACK
     generation code to be simplified.

 (8) The Rx ring buffer is removed.  When a jumbo packet is received (which
     comprises a number of ordinary DATA packets glued together), it used
     to be pointed to by the ring multiple times, with an annotation in a
     side ring indicating which subpacket was in that slot - but this is no
     longer possible.  Instead, the packet is cloned once for each
     subpacket, barring the last, and the range of data is set in the skb
     private area.  This makes it easier for the subpackets in a jumbo
     packet to be decrypted in parallel.

 (9) The Tx ring buffer is removed.  The side annotation ring that held the
     SACK information is also removed.  Instead, in the event of packet
     loss, the SACK data attached an ACK packet is parsed.

(10) Allocate an skcipher request when needed in the rxkad security class
     rather than caching one in the rxrpc_call struct.  This deals with a
     race between externally-driven call disconnection getting rid of the
     skcipher request and sendmsg/recvmsg trying to use it because they
     haven't seen the completion yet.  This is also needed to support
     parallelisation as the skcipher request cannot be used by two or more
     threads simultaneously.

(11) Call udp_sendmsg() and udpv6_sendmsg() directly rather than going
     through kernel_sendmsg() so that we can provide our own iterator
     (zerocopy explicitly doesn't work with a KVEC iterator).  This also
     lets us avoid the overhead of the security hook.

      net/core: Allow live renaming when an interface is up · bd039b5e
      Andy Ren authored 
      Allow a network interface to be renamed when the interface
is up.

As described in the netconsole documentation [1], when netconsole is
used as a built-in, it will bring up the specified interface as soon as
possible. As a result, user space will not be able to rename the
interface since the kernel disallows renaming of interfaces that are
administratively up unless the 'IFF_LIVE_RENAME_OK' private flag was set
by the kernel.

The original solution [2] to this problem was to add a new parameter to
the netconsole configuration parameters that allows renaming of
the interface used by netconsole while it is administratively up.
However, during the discussion that followed, it became apparent that we
have no reason to keep the current restriction and instead we should
allow user space to rename interfaces regardless of their administrative
state:

1. The restriction was put in place over 20 years ago when renaming was
only possible via IOCTL and before rtnetlink started notifying user
space about such changes like it does today.

2. The 'IFF_LIVE_RENAME_OK' flag was added over 3 years ago in version
5.2 and no regressions were reported.

3. In-kernel listeners to 'NETDEV_CHANGENAME' do not seem to care about
the administrative state of interface.

Therefore, allow user space to rename running interfaces by removing the
restriction and the associated 'IFF_LIVE_RENAME_OK' flag. Help in
possible triage by emitting a message to the kernel log that an
interface was renamed while UP.

====================
net: dsa: microchip: ksz_pwrite status check for lan937x and irq and error checking updates for ksz series

This patch series include following changes,
- Add KSZ9563 inside ksz_switch_chips. As per current structure,
KSZ9893 is reused inside ksz_switch_chips structure, but since
there is a mismatch in number of irq's, new member added for KSZ9563
and sku detected based on Global Chip ID 4 Register. Compatible
string from device tree mapped to KSZ9563 for spi and i2c mode
probes.
- Assign device interrupt during i2c probe operation.
- Add error checking for ksz_pwrite inside lan937x_change_mtu. After v6.0,
ksz_pwrite updated to have return type int instead of void, and
lan937x_change_mtu still uses ksz_pwrite without status verification.
- Add port_nirq as 3 for KSZ8563 switch family.
- Use dev_err_probe() instead of dev_err() to have more standardized error
formatting and logging.

v1 -> v2:
- Removed regmap validation patch from the series, planning to take
  up in future after checking for any better approach and studying
  the actual need for this change.
- Resolved error reported in ksz8863_smi.c file.
