..
Core & protocols
----------------
- Analyze and reorganize core networking structs (socks, netdev,
netns, mibs) to optimize cacheline consumption and set up
build time warnings to safeguard against future header changes.
This improves TCP performances with many concurrent connections
up to 40%.
- Add page-pool netlink-based introspection, exposing the
memory usage and recycling stats. This helps indentify
bad PP users and possible leaks.
- Refine TCP/DCCP source port selection to no longer favor even
source port at connect() time when IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE is set.
This lowers the time taken by connect() for hosts having
many active connections to the same destination.
- Refactor the TCP bind conflict code, shrinking related socket
structs.
- Refactor TCP SYN-Cookie handling, as a preparation step to
allow arbitrary SYN-Cookie processing via eBPF.
- Tune optmem_max for 0-copy usage, increasing the default value
to 128KB and namespecifying it.
- Allow coalescing for cloned skbs coming from page pools, improving
RX performances with some common configurations.
- Reduce extension header parsing overhead at GRO time.
- Add bridge MDB bulk deletion support, allowing user-space to
request the deletion of matching entries.
- Reorder nftables struct members, to keep data accessed by the
datapath first.
- Introduce TC block ports tracking and use. This allows supporting
multicast-like behavior at the TC layer.
- Remove UAPI support for retired TC qdiscs (dsmark, CBQ and ATM) and
classifiers (RSVP and tcindex).
- More data-race annotations.
- Extend the diag interface to dump TCP bound-only sockets.
- Conditional notification of events for TC qdisc class and actions.
- Support for WPAN dynamic associations with nearby devices, to form
a sub-network using a specific PAN ID.
- Implement SMCv2.1 virtual ISM device support.
- Add support for Batman-avd mulicast packet type.
BPF
---
- Tons of verifier improvements:
- BPF register bounds logic and range support along with a large
test suite
- log improvements
- complete precision tracking support for register spills
- track aligned STACK_ZERO cases as imprecise spilled registers. It
improves the verifier "instructions processed" metric from single
digit to 50-60% for some programs
- support for user's global BPF subprogram arguments with few
commonly requested annotations for a better developer experience
- support tracking of BPF_JNE which helps cases when the compiler
transforms (unsigned) "a > 0" into "if a == 0 goto xxx" and the
like
- several fixes
- Add initial TX metadata implementation for AF_XDP with support in
mlx5 and stmmac drivers. Two types of offloads are supported right
now, that is, TX timestamp and TX checksum offload.
- Fix kCFI bugs in BPF all forms of indirect calls from BPF into
kernel and from kernel into BPF work with CFI enabled. This allows
BPF to work with CONFIG_FINEIBT=y.
- Change BPF verifier logic to validate global subprograms lazily
instead of unconditionally before the main program, so they can be
guarded using BPF CO-RE techniques.
- Support uid/gid options when mounting bpffs.
- Add a new kfunc which acquires the associated cgroup of a task
within a specific cgroup v1 hierarchy where the latter is identified
by its id.
- Extend verifier to allow bpf_refcount_acquire() of a map value field
obtained via direct load which is a use-case needed in sched_ext.
- Add BPF link_info support for uprobe multi link along with bpftool
integration for the latter.
- Support for VLAN tag in XDP hints.
- Remove deprecated bpfilter kernel leftovers given the project
is developed in user-space (https://github.com/facebook/bpfilter).
Misc
----
- Support for parellel TC self-tests execution.
- Increase MPTCP self-tests coverage.
- Updated the bridge documentation, including several so-far
undocumented features.
- Convert all the net self-tests to run in unique netns, to
avoid random failures due to conflict and allow concurrent
runs.
- Add TCP-AO self-tests.
- Add kunit tests for both cfg80211 and mac80211.
- Autogenerate Netlink families documentation from YAML spec.
- Add yml-gen support for fixed headers and recursive nests, the
tool can now generate user-space code for all genetlink families
for which we have specs.
- A bunch of additional module descriptions fixes.
- Catch incorrect freeing of pages belonging to a page pool.
Driver API
----------
- Rust abstractions for network PHY drivers; do not cover yet the
full C API, but already allow implementing functional PHY drivers
in rust.
- Introduce queue and NAPI support in the netdev Netlink interface,
allowing complete access to the device <> NAPIs <> queues
relationship.
- Introduce notifications filtering for devlink to allow control
application scale to thousands of instances.
- Improve PHY validation, requesting rate matching information for
each ethtool link mode supported by both the PHY and host.
- Add support for ethtool symmetric-xor RSS hash.
- ACPI based Wifi band RFI (WBRF) mitigation feature for the AMD
platform.
- Expose pin fractional frequency offset value over new DPLL generic
netlink attribute.
- Convert older drivers to platform remove callback returning void.
- Add support for PHY package MMD read/write.

'maple_tree: add mt_free_one() and mt_attr() helpers'
'Some cleanups of maple tree'
- In the series 'mm: use memmap_on_memory semantics for dax/kmem'
Vishal Verma has altered the interworking between memory-hotplug
and dax/kmem so that newly added 'device memory' can more easily
have its memmap placed within that newly added memory.

'Finish two folio conversions'
'More swap folio conversions'
- Kefeng Wang has also contributed folio-related work in the series
'mm: cleanup and use more folio in page fault'
- Jim Cromie has improved the kmemleak reporting output in the series
'tweak kmemleak report format'.

commit 23baf831a3 ("mm, treewide: redefine MAX_ORDER sanely") has
changed the definition of MAX_ORDER to be inclusive. This has caused
issues with code that was not yet upstream and depended on the previous
definition.
To draw attention to the altered meaning of the define, rename MAX_ORDER
to MAX_PAGE_ORDER.

Alexei Starovoitov says:
====================
pull-request: bpf-next 2023-12-18
This PR is larger than usual and contains changes in various parts
of the kernel.
The main changes are:
1) Fix kCFI bugs in BPF, from Peter Zijlstra.
End result: all forms of indirect calls from BPF into kernel
and from kernel into BPF work with CFI enabled. This allows BPF
to work with CONFIG_FINEIBT=y.
2) Introduce BPF token object, from Andrii Nakryiko.
It adds an ability to delegate a subset of BPF features from privileged
daemon (e.g., systemd) through special mount options for userns-bound
BPF FS to a trusted unprivileged application. The design accommodates
suggestions from Christian Brauner and Paul Moore.
Example:
$ sudo mkdir -p /sys/fs/bpf/token
$ sudo mount -t bpf bpffs /sys/fs/bpf/token \
-o delegate_cmds=prog_load:MAP_CREATE \
-o delegate_progs=kprobe \
-o delegate_attachs=xdp
3) Various verifier improvements and fixes, from Andrii Nakryiko, Andrei Matei.
- Complete precision tracking support for register spills
- Fix verification of possibly-zero-sized stack accesses
- Fix access to uninit stack slots
- Track aligned STACK_ZERO cases as imprecise spilled registers.
It improves the verifier "instructions processed" metric from single
digit to 50-60% for some programs.
- Fix verifier retval logic
4) Support for VLAN tag in XDP hints, from Larysa Zaremba.
5) Allocate BPF trampoline via bpf_prog_pack mechanism, from Song Liu.
End result: better memory utilization and lower I$ miss for calls to BPF
via BPF trampoline.
6) Fix race between BPF prog accessing inner map and parallel delete,
from Hou Tao.
7) Add bpf_xdp_get_xfrm_state() kfunc, from Daniel Xu.
It allows BPF interact with IPSEC infra. The intent is to support
software RSS (via XDP) for the upcoming ipsec pcpu work.
Experiments on AWS demonstrate single tunnel pcpu ipsec reaching
line rate on 100G ENA nics.
8) Expand bpf_cgrp_storage to support cgroup1 non-attach, from Yafang Shao.
9) BPF file verification via fsverity, from Song Liu.
It allows BPF progs get fsverity digest.

Symmetric RSS hash functions are beneficial in applications that monitor
both Tx and Rx packets of the same flow (IDS, software firewalls, ..etc).
Getting all traffic of the same flow on the same RX queue results in
higher CPU cache efficiency.
A NIC that supports "symmetric-xor" can achieve this RSS hash symmetry
by XORing the source and destination fields and pass the values to the
RSS hash algorithm.
The user may request RSS hash symmetry for a specific algorithm, via:
# ethtool -X eth0 hfunc <hash_alg> symmetric-xor
or turn symmetry off (asymmetric) by:
# ethtool -X eth0 hfunc <hash_alg>
The specific fields for each flow type should then be specified as usual
via:
# ethtool -N|-U eth0 rx-flow-hash <flow_type> s|d|f|n

Analyzed a few structs in the networking stack by looking at variables
within them that are used in the TCP/IP fast path.
Fast path is defined as TCP path where data is transferred from sender to
receiver unidirectionally. It doesn't include phases other than
TCP_ESTABLISHED, nor does it look at error paths.
We hope to re-organizing variables that span many cachelines whose fast
path variables are also spread out, and this document can help future
developers keep networking fast path cachelines small.
Optimized_cacheline field is computed as
(Fastpath_Bytes/L3_cacheline_size_x86), and not the actual organized
results (see patches to come for these).
Investigation is done on 6.5
Name Struct_Cachelines Cur_fastpath_cache Fastpath_Bytes Optimized_cacheline
tcp_sock 42 (2664 Bytes) 12 396 8
net_device 39 (2240 bytes) 12 234 4
inet_sock 15 (960 bytes) 14 922 14
Inet_connection_sock 22 (1368 bytes) 18 1166 18
Netns_ipv4 (sysctls) 12 (768 bytes) 4 77 2
linux_mib 16 (1060) 6 104 2
Note how there isn't much improvement space for inet_sock and
Inet_connection_sock because sk and icsk_inet respectively takes up so
much of the struct that rest of the variables become a small portion of
the struct size.
So, we decided to reorganize tcp_sock, net_device, netns_ipv4

For XDP_COPY mode, add a UMEM option XDP_UMEM_TX_SW_CSUM
to call skb_checksum_help in transmit path. Might be useful
to debugging issues with real hardware. I also use this mode
in the selftests.

This is a simple script that parses the Netlink YAML spec files
(Documentation/netlink/specs/), and generates RST files to be rendered
in the Network -> Netlink Specification documentation page.
Create a python script that is invoked during 'make htmldocs', reads the
YAML specs input file and generate the correspondent RST file.
Create a new Documentation/networking/netlink_spec index page, and
reference each Netlink RST file that was processed above in this main
index.rst file.
In case of any exception during the parsing, dump the error and skip
the file.
Do not regenerate the RST files if the input files (YAML) were not
changed in-between invocations.

Changelog:
V3:
* Do not regenerate the RST files if the input files were not
changed. In order to do it, a few things changed:
- Rely on Makefile more to find what changed, and trigger
individual file processing
- The script parses file by file now (instead of batches)
- Create a new option to generate the index file
V2:
* Moved the logic from a sphinx extension to a external script
* Adjust some formatting as suggested by Donald Hunter and Jakub
* Auto generating all the rsts instead of having stubs
* Handling error gracefully

Time stamping on network packets may happen either in the MAC or in
the PHY, but not both. In preparation for making the choice
selectable, expose both the current layers via ethtool.
In accordance with the kernel implementation as it stands, the current
layer will always read as "phy" when a PHY time stamping device is
present. Future patches will allow changing the current layer
administratively.
