netkit: Support for io_uring zero-copy and AF_XDP
Containers use virtual netdevs to route traffic from a physical netdev
in the host namespace. They do not have access to the physical netdev
in the host and thus can't use memory providers or AF_XDP that require
reconfiguring/restarting queues in the physical netdev.
This patchset adds the concept of queue leasing to virtual netdevs that
allow containers to use memory providers and AF_XDP at native speed.
Leased queues are bound to a real queue in a physical netdev and act
as a proxy.
Memory providers and AF_XDP operations take an ifindex and queue id,
so containers would pass in an ifindex for a virtual netdev and a queue
id of a leased queue, which then gets proxied to the underlying real
queue.
We have implemented support for this concept in netkit and tested the
latter against Nvidia ConnectX-6 (mlx5) as well as Broadcom BCM957504
(bnxt_en) 100G NICs. For more details see the individual patches.

netkit: Add xsk support for af_xdp applications
Enable support for AF_XDP applications to operate on a netkit device.
The goal is that AF_XDP applications can natively consume AF_XDP
from network namespaces. The use-case from Cilium side is to support
Kubernetes KubeVirt VMs through QEMU's AF_XDP backend. KubeVirt is a
virtual machine management add-on for Kubernetes which aims to provide
a common ground for virtualization. KubeVirt spawns the VMs inside
Kubernetes Pods which reside in their own network namespace just like
regular Pods.
Raw QEMU AF_XDP backend example with eth0 being a physical device with
16 queues where netkit is bound to the last queue (for multi-queue RSS

We have tested the above against a dual-port Nvidia ConnectX-6 (mlx5)
100G NIC with successful network connectivity out of QEMU. An earlier
iteration of this work was presented at LSF/MM/BPF [0] and more
recently at LPC [1].
For getting to a first starting point to connect all things with
KubeVirt, bind mounting the xsk map from Cilium into the VM launcher
Pod which acts as a regular Kubernetes Pod while not perfect, is not
a big problem given its out of reach from the application sitting
inside the VM (and some of the control plane aspects are baked in
the launcher Pod already), so the isolation barrier is still the VM.
Eventually the goal is to have a XDP/XSK redirect extension where
there is no need to have the xsk map, and the BPF program can just
derive the target xsk through the queue where traffic was received
on.
The exposure through netkit is because Cilium should not act as a
proxy handing out xsk sockets. Existing applications expect a netdev
from kernel side and should not need to rewrite just to implement
against a CNI's protocol. Also, all the memory should not be accounted
against Cilium but rather the application Pod itself which is consuming
AF_XDP. Further, on up/downgrades we expect the data plane to being
completely decoupled from the control plane; if Cilium would own the
sockets that would be disruptive. Another use-case which opens up and
is regularly asked from users would be to have DPDK applications on
top of AF_XDP in regular Kubernetes Pods.

netkit: Add netkit notifier to check for unregistering devices
Add a netdevice notifier in netkit to watch for NETDEV_UNREGISTER events.
If the target device is indeed NETREG_UNREGISTERING and previously leased
a queue to a netkit device, then collect the related netkit devices and
batch-unregister_netdevice_many() them.
If this were not done, then the netkit device would hold a reference on
the physical device preventing it from going away. However, in case of
both io_uring zero-copy as well as AF_XDP this situation is handled
gracefully and the allocated resources are torn down.
In the case where mentioned infra is used through netkit, the applications
have a reference on netkit, and netkit in turn holds a reference on the
physical device. In order to have netkit release the reference on the
physical device, we need such watcher to then unregister the netkit ones.
This is generally quite similar to the dependency handling in case of
tunnels (e.g. vxlan bound to a underlying netdev) where the tunnel device
gets removed along with the physical device.

netkit: Implement rtnl_link_ops->alloc and ndo_queue_create
Implement rtnl_link_ops->alloc that allows the number of rx queues to be
set when netkit is created. By default, netkit has only a single rxq (and
single txq). The number of queues is deliberately not allowed to be changed
via ethtool -L and is fixed for the lifetime of a netkit instance.
For netkit device creation, numrxqueues with larger than one rxq can be
specified. These rxqs are leasable to real rxqs in physical netdevs:
ip link add type netkit peer numrxqueues 64 # for device pair
ip link add numrxqueues 64 type netkit single # for single device
The limit of numrxqueues for netkit is currently set to 1024, which allows
leasing multiple real rxqs from physical netdevs.
The implementation of ndo_queue_create() adds a new rxq during the queue
lease operation. We allow to create queues either in single device mode
or for the case of dual device mode for the netkit peer device which gets
placed into the target network namespace. For dual device mode the lease
against the primary device does not make sense for the targeted use cases,
and therefore gets rejected.
We also need to add a lockdep class for netkit, such that lockdep does
not trip over us, similarly done as in commit 0bef512012b1 ("net: add
netdev_lockdep_set_classes() to virtual drivers").
This is also the last missing bit to netkit for supporting io_uring with
zero-copy mode [0]. Up until this point it was not possible to consume the
latter out of containers or Kubernetes Pods where applications are in their
own network namespace.

netkit is bound to the last queue, iou-zcrx.c is binary from selftests;
ethtool configuration (tcp-data-split, hds_thresh, RSS, flow steering)

to that queue is based on the service VIP:port of the server utilizing
io_uring:

netkit: Add single device mode for netkit
Add a single device mode for netkit instead of netkit pairs. The primary
target for the paired devices is to connect network namespaces, of course,
and support has been implemented in projects like Cilium [0]. For the rxq
leasing the plan is to support two main scenarios related to single device
mode:
* For the use-case of io_uring zero-copy, the control plane can either
set up a netkit pair where the peer device can perform rxq leasing which
is then tied to the lifetime of the peer device, or the control plane
can use a regular netkit pair to connect the hostns to a Pod/container
and dynamically add/remove rxq leasing through a single device without
having to interrupt the device pair. In the case of io_uring, the memory
pool is used as skb non-linear pages, and thus the skb will go its way
through the regular stack into netkit. Things like the netkit policy when
no BPF is attached or skb scrubbing etc apply as-is in case the paired
devices are used, or if the backend memory is tied to the single device
and traffic goes through a paired device.
* For the use-case of AF_XDP, the control plane needs to use netkit in the
single device mode. The single device mode currently enforces only a
pass policy when no BPF is attached, and does not yet support BPF link
attachments for AF_XDP. skbs sent to that device get dropped at the
moment. Given AF_XDP operates at a lower layer of the stack tying this
to the netkit pair did not make sense. In future, the plan is to allow
BPF at the XDP layer which can: i) process traffic coming from the AF_XDP
application (e.g. QEMU with AF_XDP backend) to filter egress traffic or
to push selected egress traffic up to the single netkit device to the
local stack (e.g. DHCP requests), and ii) vice-versa skbs sent to the
single netkit into the AF_XDP application (e.g. DHCP replies). Also,
the control-plane can dynamically manage rxq leasing for the single
netkit device without having to interrupt (e.g. down/up cycle) the main
netkit pair for the Pod which has traffic going in and out.

the queue type which is enforced to rx and a lease. The newly created
queue id is returned to the caller.
A queue from a virtual device can have a lease which refers to another
queue from a physical device. This is useful for memory providers
and AF_XDP operations which take an ifindex and queue id to allow
applications to bind against virtual devices in containers. The lease
couples both queues together and allows to proxy the operations from
a virtual device in a container to the physical device.
In future, the nested lease attribute can be lifted and made optional
for other use-cases such as dynamic queue creation for physical
netdevs. The lack of lease and the specification of the physical
device as an ifindex will imply that we need a real queue to be

in order for other virtual devices to reuse, it makes sense to have
this as a generic API in core net.
For leasing queues, the virtual netdev must have real_num_rx_queues
less than num_rx_queues at the time of calling queue-create. The
queue-type must be rx as only rx queues are supported for leasing
for now. We also enforce that the queue-create ifindex must point
to a virtual device, and that the nested lease attribute's ifindex
must point to a physical device. The nested lease attribute set
contains a netns-id attribute which is optional and can specify a
netns-id relative to the caller's netns. It requires cap_net_admin
and if the netns-id attribute is not specified, the lease ifindex
will be retrieved from the current netns. Also, it is modeled as
an s32 type similarly as done elsewhere in the stack.

net: lan966x: fix use-after-free and leak in lan966x_fdma_reload()
When lan966x_fdma_reload() fails to allocate new RX buffers, the restore
path restarts DMA using old descriptors whose pages were already freed
via lan966x_fdma_rx_free_pages(). Since page_pool_put_full_page() can
release pages back to the buddy allocator, the hardware may DMA into
memory now owned by other kernel subsystems.
Additionally, on the restore path, the newly created page pool (if
allocation partially succeeded) is overwritten without being destroyed,
leaking it.
Fix both issues by deferring the release of old pages until after the
new allocation succeeds. Save the old page array before the allocation
so old pages can be freed on the success path. On the failure path, the
old descriptors, pages and page pool are all still valid, making the
restore safe. Also ensure the restore path re-enables NAPI and wakes
the netdev, matching the success path.

iommu: Ensure .iotlb_sync is called correctly
Many drivers have no reason to use the iotlb_gather mechanism, but do
still depend on .iotlb_sync being called to properly complete an unmap.
Since the core code is now relying on the gather to detect when there
is legitimately something to sync, it should also take care of encoding
a successful unmap when the driver does not touch the gather itself.

nfc: pn533: allocate rx skb before consuming bytes
pn532_receive_buf() reports the number of accepted bytes to the serdev
core. The current code consumes bytes into recv_skb and may already hand
a complete frame to pn533_recv_frame() before allocating a fresh receive
buffer.
If that alloc_skb() fails, the callback returns 0 even though it has
already consumed bytes, and it leaves recv_skb as NULL for the next
receive callback. That breaks the receive_buf() accounting contract and
can also lead to a NULL dereference on the next skb_put_u8().
Allocate the receive skb lazily before consuming the next byte instead.
If allocation fails, return the number of bytes already accepted.

r8152: Add support for the RTL8157 5Gbit USB Ethernet chip
Add support for the RTL8157, which is a 5GBit USB-Ethernet adapter
chip in the RTL815x family of chips.
The RTL8157 uses a different frame descriptor format, and different
SRAM/ADV access methods, plus offers 5GBit/s Ethernet, so support for these
features is added in addition to chip initialization and configuration.
The module was tested with an OEM RTL8157 USB adapter:
[25758.328238] usb 4-1: new SuperSpeed Plus Gen 2x1 USB device number 2 using xhci_hcd
[25758.345565] usb 4-1: New USB device found, idVendor=0bda, idProduct=8157, bcdDevice=30.00

[25763.271682] r8152 4-1:1.0 enx00e04c68xxxx: carrier on
The RTL8157 adapter was tested against an AQC107 PCIe-card supporting
10GBit/s and an RTL8126 5Gbit PCIe-card supporting 5GBit/s for
performance, link speed and EEE negotiation. Using USB3.2 Gen 1 with
the RTL8157 USB adapter and running iperf3 against the AQC107 PCIe
card resulted in 3.47 Gbits/sec, whereas using USB3.2 Gen2 resulted
in 4.70 Gbits/sec, speeds against the RTL8126-card were the same.
As the code integrates the RTL8157-specific code with existing RTL8156 code
in order to improve code maintainability (instead of adding RTL8157-specific
functions duplicaing most of the RTL8156 code), regression tests were done
with an Edimax EU-4307 V1.0 USB-Ethernet adapter with RTL8156.
The code is based on the out-of-tree r8152 driver published by Realtek under
the GPL.
This patch is on top of linux-next as the code re-uses the 2.5 Gbit EEE
recently added in r8152.c.
The RTL8157 uses a different packet descriptor format compared to the
previous generation of chips. Add support for this format by adding a
descriptor format structure into the r8152 structure and corresponding
desc_ops functions which abstract the vlan-tag, tx/rx len and
tx/rx checksum algorithms.
Also, add support for the ADV indirect access interface of the RTL8157
and PHY setup.
For initialization of the RTL8157, combine the existing RTL8156B and
RTL8156 init functions and add RTL8157-specific functinality in order
to improve code readability and maintainability.
r8156_init() is now called with RTL_VER_10 and RTL_VER_11 for the RTL8156,
with RTL_VER_12, RTL_VER_13 and RTL_VER_15 for the RTL8156B and with
RTL_VER_16 for the RTL8157 and checks the version for chip-specific code.
Also add USB power control functions for the RTL8157.
Add support for the USB device ID of Realtek RTL8157-based adapters. Detect
the RTL8157 as RTL_VER_16 and set it up.
The RTL8157 supports 5GBit Link speeds. Add support for this speed
in the setup and setting/getting through ethtool. Also add 5GBit EEE.
Add functionality for setup and ethtool get/set methods.
syzbot reported a WARN on my patch series [1]. The actual issue is an
overflow of 16-bit UDP length field, and it exists in the upstream code.
My series added a debug WARN with an overflow check that exposed the
issue, that's why syzbot tripped on my patches, rather than on upstream
code.
It basically sends an oversized (0x34000 bytes) PPPoL2TP packet with UDP
encapsulation, and l2tp_xmit_core doesn't check for overflows when it
assigns the UDP length field. The value gets trimmed to 16 bites.
Add an overflow check that drops oversized packets and avoids sending
packets with trimmed UDP length to the wire.
net: ipa: fix event ring index not programmed for IPA v5.0+
For IPA v5.0+, the event ring index field moved from CH_C_CNTXT_0 to
CH_C_CNTXT_1. The v5.0 register definition intended to define this
field in the CH_C_CNTXT_1 fmask array but used the old identifier of
ERINDEX instead of CH_ERINDEX.
Without a valid event ring, GSI channels could never signal transfer
completions. This caused gsi_channel_trans_quiesce() to block
forever in wait_for_completion().
At least for IPA v5.2 this resolves an issue seen where runtime
suspend, system suspend, and remoteproc stop all hanged forever. It
also meant the IPA data path was completely non functional.

devlink: add per-port resource support
This series by Or adds devlink per-port resource support:
Currently, devlink resources are only available at the device level.
However, some resources are inherently per-port, such as the maximum
number of subfunctions (SFs) that can be created on a specific PF port.
This limitation prevents user space from obtaining accurate per-port
capacity information.
This series adds infrastructure for per-port resources in devlink core
and implements it in the mlx5 driver to expose the max_SFs resource
on PF devlink ports.
Patch #1 refactors resource functions to be generic
Patch #2 adds port-level resource registration infrastructure

Register max_SFs resource on the host PF representor port to expose

====================
mptcp: autotune related improvement
Here are two patches from Paolo that have been crafted a couple of
months ago, but needed more validation because they were indirectly
causing instabilities in the sefltests. The root cause has been fixed in
'net' recently in commit 8c09412e584d ("selftests: mptcp: more stable
simult_flows tests").
These patches refactor the receive space and RTT estimator, overall
making DRS more correct while avoiding receive buffer drifting to
tcp_rmem[2], which in turn makes the throughput more stable and less
bursty, especially with high bandwidth and low delay environments.
Note that the first patch addresses a very old issue. 'net-next' is
targeted because the change is quite invasive and based on a recent
backlog refactor. The 'Fixes' tag is then there more as a FYI, because
backporting this patch will quickly be blocked due to large conflicts.

mptcp: better mptcp-level RTT estimator
The current MPTCP-level RTT estimator has several issues. On high speed
links, the MPTCP-level receive buffer auto-tuning happens with a
frequency well above the TCP-level's one. That in turn can cause
excessive/unneeded receive buffer increase.
On such links, the initial rtt_us value is considerably higher than the
actual delay, and the current mptcp_rcv_space_adjust() updates
msk->rcvq_space.rtt_us with a period equal to the such field previous
value. If the initial rtt_us is 40ms, its first update will happen after
40ms, even if the subflows see actual RTT orders of magnitude lower.
Additionally:
- setting the msk RTT to the maximum among all the subflows RTTs makes
DRS constantly overshooting the rcvbuf size when a subflow has
considerable higher latency than the other(s).
- during unidirectional bulk transfers with multiple active subflows,
the TCP-level RTT estimator occasionally sees considerably higher
value than the real link delay, i.e. when the packet scheduler reacts
to an incoming ACK on given subflow pushing data on a different
subflow.
- currently inactive but still open subflows (i.e. switched to backup
mode) are always considered when computing the msk-level RTT.
Address the all the issues above with a more accurate RTT estimation
strategy: the MPTCP-level RTT is set to the minimum of all the subflows
actually feeding data into the MPTCP receive buffer, using a small
sliding window.
While at it, also use EWMA to compute the msk-level scaling_ratio, to
that MPTCP can avoid traversing the subflow list is
mptcp_rcv_space_adjust().
Use some care to avoid updating msk and ssk level fields too often.

Revert "mptcp: add needs_id for netlink appending addr"
This commit was originally adding the ability to add MPTCP endpoints
with ID 0 by accident. The in-kernel PM, handling MPTCP endpoints at the
net namespace level, is not supposed to handle endpoints with such ID,
because this ID 0 is reserved to the initial subflow, as mentioned in
the MPTCPv1 protocol [1], a per-connection setting.
Note that 'ip mptcp endpoint add id 0' stops early with an error, but
other tools might still request the in-kernel PM to create MPTCP
endpoints with this restricted ID 0.
In other words, it was wrong to call the mptcp_pm_has_addr_attr_id
helper to check whether the address ID attribute is set: if it was set
to 0, a new MPTCP endpoint would be created with ID 0, which is not
expected, and might cause various issues later.
mptcp: fix slab-use-after-free in __inet_lookup_established
The ehash table lookups are lockless and rely on
SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU to guarantee socket memory stability
during RCU read-side critical sections. Both tcp_prot and
tcpv6_prot have their slab caches created with this flag
via proto_register().
However, MPTCP's mptcp_subflow_init() copies tcpv6_prot into
tcpv6_prot_override during inet_init() (fs_initcall, level 5),
before inet6_init() (module_init/device_initcall, level 6) has
called proto_register(&tcpv6_prot). At that point,
tcpv6_prot.slab is still NULL, so tcpv6_prot_override.slab
remains NULL permanently.
This causes MPTCP v6 subflow child sockets to be allocated via
kmalloc (falling into kmalloc-4k) instead of the TCPv6 slab
cache. The kmalloc-4k cache lacks SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU, so
when these sockets are freed without SOCK_RCU_FREE (which is
cleared for child sockets by design), the memory can be
immediately reused. Concurrent ehash lookups under
rcu_read_lock can then access freed memory, triggering a
slab-use-after-free in __inet_lookup_established.
Fix this by splitting the IPv6-specific initialization out of
mptcp_subflow_init() into a new mptcp_subflow_v6_init(), called
from mptcp_proto_v6_init() before protocol registration. This
ensures tcpv6_prot_override.slab correctly inherits the
SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU slab cache.
sk_clone() initializes sk_tx_queue_mapping via sk_tx_queue_clear()
but does not initialize sk_rx_queue_mapping. Since this field is in
the sk_dontcopy region, it is neither copied from the parent socket
by sock_copy() nor zeroed by sk_prot_alloc() (called without
__GFP_ZERO from sk_clone).
Commit 03cfda4fa6ea ("tcp: fix another uninit-value
(sk_rx_queue_mapping)") attempted to fix this by introducing
sk_mark_napi_id_set() with force_set=true in tcp_child_process().
However, sk_mark_napi_id_set() -> sk_rx_queue_set() only writes
when skb_rx_queue_recorded(skb) is true. If the 3-way handshake
ACK arrives through a device that does not record rx_queue (e.g.
loopback or veth), sk_rx_queue_mapping remains uninitialized.
When a subsequent data packet arrives with a recorded rx_queue,
sk_mark_napi_id() -> sk_rx_queue_update() reads the uninitialized
field for comparison (force_set=false path), triggering KMSAN.
This was reproduced by establishing a TCP connection over loopback
(which does not call skb_record_rx_queue), then attaching a BPF TC
program on lo ingress to set skb->queue_mapping on data packets:

This code can lead to an out-of-bounds access of the dev->_tx[] array
when is_input is true. In such a case, the packet is on the RX path and
skb->queue_mapping contains the RX queue index of the ingress device. If
the ingress device has more RX queues than the egress device (dev) has
TX queues, skb_get_queue_mapping(skb) will exceed dev->num_tx_queues.
Add a check to avoid this situation since skb_get_tx_queue() does not
clamp the index. This issue has also revealed that per queue visibility
cannot be accurate and will be replaced later as a new feature.

rxrpc: proc: size address buffers for %pISpc output
The AF_RXRPC procfs helpers format local and remote socket addresses into
fixed 50-byte stack buffers with "%pISpc".
That is too small for the longest current-tree IPv6-with-port form the
formatter can produce. In lib/vsprintf.c, the compressed IPv6 path uses a
dotted-quad tail not only for v4mapped addresses, but also for ISATAP
addresses via ipv6_addr_is_isatap().
is possible with the current formatter. That is 50 visible characters, so
51 bytes including the trailing NUL, which does not fit in the existing
char[50] buffers used by net/rxrpc/proc.c.
Size the buffers from the formatter's maximum textual form and switch the
call sites to scnprintf().
Changes since v1:

explicitly
- frame the proof around the ISATAP formatting path instead of the earlier

rxrpc: Fix key/keyring checks in setsockopt(RXRPC_SECURITY_KEY/KEYRING)
An AF_RXRPC socket can be both client and server at the same time. When
sending new calls (ie. it's acting as a client), it uses rx->key to set the
security, and when accepting incoming calls (ie. it's acting as a server),
it uses rx->securities.
setsockopt(RXRPC_SECURITY_KEY) sets rx->key to point to an rxrpc-type key
and setsockopt(RXRPC_SECURITY_KEYRING) sets rx->securities to point to a
keyring of rxrpc_s-type keys.
Now, it should be possible to use both rx->key and rx->securities on the
same socket - but for userspace AF_RXRPC sockets rxrpc_setsockopt()
prevents that.
Fix this by:
(1) Remove the incorrect check rxrpc_setsockopt(RXRPC_SECURITY_KEYRING)
makes on rx->key.
(2) Move the check that rxrpc_setsockopt(RXRPC_SECURITY_KEY) makes on
rx->key down into rxrpc_request_key().
(3) Remove rxrpc_request_key()'s check on rx->securities.
This (in combination with a previous patch) pushes the checks down into the

both key and keyring being set.

rxgk_verify_response() decodes auth_len from the packet and is supposed
to verify that it fits in the remaining bytes. The existing check is
inverted, so oversized RESPONSE authenticators are accepted and passed
to rxgk_decrypt_skb(), which can later reach skb_to_sgvec() with an
impossible length and hit BUG_ON(len).
Decoded from the original latest-net reproduction logs with
scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh:
rxgk_verify_authenticator() copies auth_len bytes into a temporary
buffer and then passes p + auth_len as the parser limit to
rxgk_do_verify_authenticator(). Since p is a __be32 *, that inflates the
parser end pointer by a factor of four and lets malformed RESPONSE
authenticators read past the kmalloc() buffer.
Decoded from the original latest-net reproduction logs with
scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh:
rxkad_decrypt_ticket() decrypts the RXKAD response ticket and then
parses the buffer as plaintext without checking whether
crypto_skcipher_decrypt() succeeded.
A malformed RESPONSE can therefore use a non-block-aligned ticket
length, make the decrypt operation fail, and still drive the ticket
parser with attacker-controlled bytes.
Check the decrypt result and abort the connection with RXKADBADTICKET
when ticket decryption fails.

rxrpc: Only put the call ref if one was acquired
rxrpc_input_packet_on_conn() can process a to-client packet after the
current client call on the channel has already been torn down. In that
case chan->call is NULL, rxrpc_try_get_call() returns NULL and there is
no reference to drop.
The client-side implicit-end error path does not account for that and
unconditionally calls rxrpc_put_call(). This turns a protocol error
path into a kernel crash instead of rejecting the packet.
Only drop the call reference if one was actually acquired. Keep the
existing protocol error handling unchanged.

rxrpc: Fix to request an ack if window is limited
Peers may only send immediate acks for every 2 UDP packets received.
When sending a jumbogram, it is important to check that there is
sufficient window space to send another same sized jumbogram following
the current one, and request an ack if there isn't. Failure to do so may
cause the call to stall waiting for an ack until the resend timer fires.
Where jumbograms are in use this causes a very significant drop in
performance.

rxrpc: Fix key reference count leak from call->key
When creating a client call in rxrpc_alloc_client_call(), the code obtains
a reference to the key. This is never cleaned up and gets leaked when the
call is destroyed.
Fix this by freeing call->key in rxrpc_destroy_call().
Before the patch, it shows the key reference counter elevated:
