While grouping matching bits in groups of four saves memory compared
to the more natural choice of 8-bit words (lookup table size is one
eighth), it comes at a performance cost, as the number of lookup
comparisons is doubled, and those also needs bitshifts and masking.
Introduce support for 8-bit lookup groups, together with a mapping
mechanism to dynamically switch, based on defined per-table size
thresholds and hysteresis, between 8-bit and 4-bit groups, as tables
grow and shrink. Empty sets start with 8-bit groups, and per-field
tables are converted to 4-bit groups if they get too big.
An alternative approach would have been to swap per-set lookup
operation functions as needed, but this doesn't allow for different
group sizes in the same set, which looks desirable if some fields
need significantly more matching data compared to others due to
heavier impact of ranges (e.g. a big number of subnets with
relatively simple port specifications).
Allowing different group sizes for the same lookup functions implies
the need for further conditional clauses, whose cost, however,
appears to be negligible in tests.
The matching rate figures below were obtained for x86_64 running
the nft_concat_range.sh "performance" cases, averaged over five
runs, on a single thread of an AMD Epyc 7402 CPU, and for aarch64
on a single thread of a BCM2711 (Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 4GB),
clocked at a stable 2147MHz frequency:

Get rid of all hardcoded assumptions that buckets in lookup tables
correspond to four-bit groups, and replace them with appropriate
calculations based on a variable group size, now stored in struct
field.
The group size could now be in principle any divisor of eight. Note,
though, that lookup and get functions need an implementation
intimately depending on the group size, and the only supported size
there, currently, is four bits, which is also the initial and only
used size at the moment.
While at it, drop 'groups' from struct nft_pipapo: it was never used.

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]

Placing nftables set support in an extra module is pointless:

2. nft heavily relies on sets, e.g. even simple rule like

This is a snapshot of hardidletimer netfilter target.
This patch implements a hardidletimer Xtables target that can be
used to identify when interfaces have been idle for a certain period
of time.
Timers are identified by labels and are created when a rule is set
with a new label. The rules also take a timeout value (in seconds) as
an option. If more than one rule uses the same timer label, the timer
will be restarted whenever any of the rules get a hit.
One entry for each timer is created in sysfs. This attribute contains
the timer remaining for the timer to expire. The attributes are
located under the xt_idletimer class:
/sys/class/xt_idletimer/timers/<label>
When the timer expires, the target module sends a sysfs notification
to the userspace, which can then decide what to do (eg. disconnect to
save power)
Compared to IDLETIMER, HARDIDLETIMER can send notifications when
CPU is in suspend too, to notify the timer expiry.
v1->v2: Moved all functionality into IDLETIMER module to avoid
code duplication per comment from Florian.

net: phy: split the mscc driver
This is a proposal to split the MSCC PHY driver, as its code base grew a
lot lately (it's already 3800+ lines). It also supports features
requiring a lot of code (MACsec), which would gain in being split from
the driver core, for readability and maintenance. This is also done as
other features should be coming later, which will also need lots of code
addition.
This series shouldn't change the way the driver works.
I checked, and there were no patch pending on this driver. This change
was done on top of all the modifications done on this driver in net-next.
Since v2:
- Defined inline functions as static inline.
- Fixed a locking issue reported by Kbuild.
Since v1:
- Moved more definitions into the mscc_macsec.h header.

This patch splits the MSCC driver into separate files, per
functionality, to improve readability and maintenance as the codebase
grew a lot. The MACsec code is moved to a dedicated mscc_macsec.c file,
the mscc.c file is renamed to mscc_main.c to keep the driver binary to
be named mscc and common definition are put into a new mscc.h header.
Most of the code was just moved around, except for a few exceptions:
- Header inclusions were reworked to only keep what's needed.
- Three helpers were created in the MACsec code, to avoid #ifdef's in
the main C file: vsc8584_macsec_init, vsc8584_handle_macsec_interrupt
and vsc8584_config_macsec_intr.

====================
RED: Introduce an ECN tail-dropping mode
When the RED qdisc is currently configured to enable ECN, the RED algorithm
is used to decide whether a certain SKB should be marked. If that SKB is
not ECN-capable, it is early-dropped.
It is also possible to keep all traffic in the queue, and just mark the
ECN-capable subset of it, as appropriate under the RED algorithm. Some
switches support this mode, and some installations make use of it.
There is currently no way to put the RED qdiscs to this mode.
Therefore this patchset adds a new RED flag, TC_RED_TAILDROP. When the
qdisc is configured with this flag, non-ECT traffic is enqueued (and
tail-dropped when the queue size is exhausted) instead of being
early-dropped.
Unfortunately, adding a new RED flag is not as simple as it sounds. RED
flags are passed in tc_red_qopt.flags. However RED neglects to validate the
flag field, and just copies it over wholesale to its internal structure,
and later dumps it back.
A broken userspace can therefore configure a RED qdisc with arbitrary
unsupported flags, and later expect to see the flags on qdisc dump. The
current ABI thus allows storage of 5 bits of custom data along with the
qdisc instance.
GRED, SFQ and CHOKE qdiscs are in the same situation. (GRED validates VQ
flags, but not the flags for the main queue.) E.g. if SFQ ever needs to
support TC_RED_ADAPTATIVE, it needs another way of doing it, and at the
same time it needs to retain the possibility to store 6 bits of
uninterpreted data.
For RED, this problem is resolved in patch #2, which adds a new attribute,
and a way to separate flags from userbits that can be reused by other
qdiscs. The flag itself and related behavioral changes are added in patch
To test the new feature, patch #1 first introduces a TDC testsuite that
covers the existing RED flags. Patch #5 later extends it with taildrop
coverage. Patch #6 contains a forwarding selftest for the offloaded
datapath.
To test the SW datapath, I took the mlxsw selftest and adapted it in mostly
obvious ways. The test is stable enough to verify that RED, ECN and ECN
taildrop actually work. However, I have no confidence in its portability to
other people's machines or mildly different configurations. I therefore do
not find it suitable for upstreaming.
GRED and CHOKE can use the same method as RED if they ever need to support
extra flags. SFQ uses the length of TCA_OPTIONS to dispatch on binary
control structure version, and would therefore need a different approach.
v2:
- Patch #1
- Require nsPlugin in each RED test
- Match end-of-line to catch cases of more flags reported than
requested
- Patch #2:
- Replaced with another patch.
- Patch #3:

- Patch #5:

Extend RED testsuite to cover the new nodrop mode of RED-ECN. This test is
really similar to ECN test, diverging only in the last step, where UDP
traffic should go to backlog instead of being dropped. Thus extract a
common helper, ecn_test_common(), make do_ecn_test() into a relatively

RED ECN nodrop mode means that non-ECT traffic should not be early-dropped,
but enqueued normally instead. In Spectrum systems, this is achieved by
disabling CWTPM.ew (enable WRED) for a given traffic class.
So far CWTPM.ew was unconditionally enabled. Instead disable it when the
RED qdisc is in nodrop mode.

When the RED Qdisc is currently configured to enable ECN, the RED algorithm
is used to decide whether a certain SKB should be marked. If that SKB is
not ECN-capable, it is early-dropped.
It is also possible to keep all traffic in the queue, and just mark the
ECN-capable subset of it, as appropriate under the RED algorithm. Some
switches support this mode, and some installations make use of it.
To that end, add a new RED flag, TC_RED_NODROP. When the Qdisc is
configured with this flag, non-ECT traffic is enqueued instead of being
early-dropped.

The qdiscs RED, GRED, SFQ and CHOKE use different subsets of the same pool
of global RED flags. These are passed in tc_red_qopt.flags. However none of
these qdiscs validate the flag field, and just copy it over wholesale to
internal structures, and later dump it back. (An exception is GRED, which
does validate for VQs -- however not for the main setup.)
A broken userspace can therefore configure a qdisc with arbitrary
unsupported flags, and later expect to see the flags on qdisc dump. The
current ABI therefore allows storage of several bits of custom data to
qdisc instances of the types mentioned above. How many bits, depends on
which flags are meaningful for the qdisc in question. E.g. SFQ recognizes
flags ECN and HARDDROP, and the rest is not interpreted.
If SFQ ever needs to support ADAPTATIVE, it needs another way of doing it,
and at the same time it needs to retain the possibility to store 6 bits of
uninterpreted data. Likewise RED, which adds a new flag later in this
patchset.
To that end, this patch adds a new function, red_get_flags(), to split the
passed flags of RED-like qdiscs to flags and user bits, and
red_validate_flags() to validate the resulting configuration. It further
adds a new attribute, TCA_RED_FLAGS, to pass arbitrary flags.
