netpoll: Optimize skb refilling on critical path
netpoll tries to refill the skb queue on every packet send, independently
if packets are being consumed from the pool or not. This was
particularly problematic while being called from printk(), where the
operation would be done while holding the console lock.
Introduce a more intelligent approach to skb queue management. Instead
of constantly attempting to refill the queue, the system now defers
refilling to a work queue and only triggers the workqueue when a buffer
is actually dequeued. This change significantly reduces operations with
the lock held.
Add a work_struct to the netpoll structure for asynchronous refilling,
updating find_skb() to schedule refill work only when necessary (skb is
dequeued).
These changes have demonstrated a 15% reduction in time spent during
netpoll_send_msg operations, especially when no SKBs are not consumed
from consumed from pool.
When SKBs are being dequeued, the improvement is even better, around
70%, mainly because refilling the SKB pool is now happening outside of
the critical patch (with console_owner lock held).

tcp: ulp: diag: expose more to non net admin users
Since its introduction in commit 61723b393292 ("tcp: ulp: add functions
to dump ulp-specific information"), the ULP diag info have been exported
only to users with CAP_NET_ADMIN capability.
Not everything is sensitive, and some info can be exported to all users
in order to ease the debugging from the userspace side without requiring
additional capabilities.
First, the ULP name can be easily exported. Then more depending on each
layer:
- On kTLS side, it looks like everything can be exported to all users:
version, cipher type, tx/rx user config type, plus some flags.
- On MPTCP side, everything but the sequence numbers are exported to
all non net admin users, similar to TCP.
====================
When introduced in commit 61723b393292 ("tcp: ulp: add functions to dump
ulp-specific information"), the whole ULP diag info has been exported
only if the requester had CAP_NET_ADMIN.
It looks like not everything is sensitive, and some info can be exported
to all users in order to ease the debugging from the userspace side
without requiring additional capabilities. Each layer should then decide
what can be exposed to everybody. The 'net_admin' boolean is then passed
to the different layers.
On kTLS side, it looks like there is nothing sensitive there: version,
cipher type, tx/rx user config type, plus some flags. So, only some
metadata about the configuration, no cryptographic info like keys, etc.
Then, everything can be exported to all users.
On MPTCP side, that's different. The MPTCP-related sequence numbers per
subflow should certainly not be exposed to everybody. For example, the
DSS mapping and ssn_offset would give all users on the system access to
narrow ranges of values for the subflow TCP sequence numbers and
MPTCP-level DSNs, and then ease packet injection. The TCP diag interface
doesn't expose the TCP sequence numbers for TCP sockets, so best to do
the same here. The rest -- token, IDs, flags -- can be exported to
everybody.
Since its introduction in commit 61723b393292 ("tcp: ulp: add functions
to dump ulp-specific information"), the ULP diag info have been exported
only if the requester had CAP_NET_ADMIN.
At least the ULP name can be exported without CAP_NET_ADMIN. This will
already help identifying which layer is being used, e.g. which TCP
connections are in fact MPTCP subflow.

A recent cleanup changed the behaviour of tcp_set_window_clamp(). This
looks unintentional, and affects MPTCP selftests, e.g. some tests
re-establishing a connection after a disconnect are now unstable.
The cleanup used the 'clamp' macro which takes 3 arguments -- value,
lowest, and highest -- and returns a value between the lowest and the
highest allowable values. This then assumes ...
lowest (rcv_ssthresh) <= highest (rcv_wnd)
... which doesn't seem to be always the case here according to the MPTCP
selftests, even when running them without MPTCP, but only TCP.
For example, when we have ...
rcv_wnd < rcv_ssthresh < new_rcv_ssthresh
... before the cleanup, the rcv_ssthresh was not changed, while after
the cleanup, it is lowered down to rcv_wnd (highest).
During a simple test with TCP, here are the values I observed:
113664 (out) 65483 < 65536
117760 (out) 110968 < 110976
129024 (out) 116527 > 109696 => lo > hi
Here, we can see that it is not that rare to have rcv_ssthresh (lo)
higher than rcv_wnd (hi), so having a different behaviour when the
clamp() macro is used, even without MPTCP.
Note: new_window_clamp is always out of range (rcv_ssthresh < rcv_wnd)
here, which seems to be generally the case in my tests with small
connections.
I then suggests reverting this part, not to change the behaviour.

tcp: even faster connect() under stress
This is a followup on the prior series, "tcp: scale connect() under pressure"
Now spinlocks are no longer in the picture, we see a very high cost
of the inet6_ehashfn() function.
In this series (of 2), I change how lport contributes to inet6_ehashfn()
to ensure better cache locality and call inet6_ehashfn()
only once per connect() system call.
This brings an additional 229 % increase of performance
for "neper/tcp_crr -6 -T 200 -F 30000" stress test,
while greatly improving latency metrics.

inet: change lport contribution to inet_ehashfn() and inet6_ehashfn()
In order to speedup __inet_hash_connect(), we want to ensure hash values
for <source address, port X, destination address, destination port>
are not randomly spread, but monotonically increasing.
Goal is to allow __inet_hash_connect() to derive the hash value
of a candidate 4-tuple with a single addition in the following
patch in the series.
Then (hash_sport == hash_0 + sport) for all sport values.
As far as I know, there is no security implication with this change.
After this patch, when __inet_hash_connect() has to try XXXX candidates,
the hash table buckets are contiguous and packed, allowing
a better use of cpu caches and hardware prefetchers.
Cross-merge networking fixes after downstream PR (net-6.14-rc6).

net: Hold netdev instance lock during ndo operations
As the gradual purging of rtnl continues, start grabbing netdev
instance lock in more places so we can get to the state where
most paths are working without rtnl. Start with requiring the
drivers that use shaper api (and later queue mgmt api) to work
with both rtnl and netdev instance lock. Eventually we might
attempt to drop rtnl. This mostly affects iavf, gve, bnxt and
netdev sim (as the drivers that implement shaper/queue mgmt)
so those drivers are converted in the process.
call_netdevice_notifiers locking is very inconsistent and might need
a separate follow up. Some notified events are covered by the
instance lock, some are not, which might complicate the driver
expectations.

====================
Only devlink and sriov paths are grabbing rtnl explicitly. The rest is
covered by netdev instance lock which the core now grabs, so there is
no need to manage rtnl in most places anymore.
On the core side we can now try to drop rtnl in some places
(do_setlink for example) for the drivers that signal non-rtnl
mode (TBD).

net: hold netdev instance lock during rtnetlink operations
To preserve the atomicity, hold the lock while applying multiple
attributes. The major issue with a full conversion to the instance
lock are software nesting devices (bonding/team/vrf/etc). Those
devices call into the core stack for their lower (potentially
real hw) devices. To avoid explicitly wrapping all those places
into instance lock/unlock, introduce new API boundaries:
- (some) existing dev_xxx calls are now considered "external"
(to drivers) APIs and they transparently grab the instance
lock if needed (dev_api.c)
- new netif_xxx calls are internal core stack API (naming is
sketchy, I've tried netdev_xxx_locked per Jakub's suggestion,
but it feels a bit verbose; but happy to get back to this
naming scheme if this is the preference)
This avoids touching most of the existing ioctl/sysfs/drivers paths.
Note the special handling of ndo_xxx_slave operations: I exploit
the fact that none of the drivers that call these functions
need/use instance lock. At the same time, they use dev_xxx
APIs, so the lower device has to be unlocked.
Changes in unregister_netdevice_many_notify (to protect dev->state
with instance lock) trigger lockdep - the loop over close_list
(mostly from cleanup_net) introduces spurious ordering issues.
netdev_lock_cmp_fn has a justification on why it's ok to suppress
for now.
net: hold netdev instance lock during queue operations
For the drivers that use queue management API, switch to the mode where
core stack holds the netdev instance lock. This affects the following

Originally I locked only start/stop, but switched to holding the
lock over all iterations to make them look atomic to the device
(feels like it should be easier to reason about).

net: hold netdev instance lock during ndo_open/ndo_stop

core stack holds the netdev lock. This affects two drivers:
* iavf - already grabs netdev lock in ndo_open/ndo_stop, so mostly
remove these
* netdevsim - switch to _locked APIs to avoid deadlock
iavf_close diff is a bit confusing, the existing call looks like this:
iavf_close() {
netdev_lock()
..
netdev_unlock()
wait_event_timeout(down_waitqueue)
}
I change it to the following:
netdev_lock()
iavf_close() {
..
netdev_unlock()
wait_event_timeout(down_waitqueue)
netdev_lock() // reusing this lock call
}
netdev_unlock()
Since I'm reusing existing netdev_lock call, so it looks like I only
add netdev_unlock.

XDP metadata support for tun driver
Hi all,
this v5 of the patch series is very similar to v4, but rebased onto the
bpf-next/net branch instead of bpf-next/master.
Because the commit c047e0e0e435 ("selftests/bpf: Optionally open a
dedicated namespace to run test in it") is not yet included in this branch,
I changed the xdp_context_tuntap test to manually create a namespace to run
the test in.
Not so successful pipeline: https://github.com/kernel-patches/bpf/actions/runs/13682405154
The CI pipeline failed because of veristat changes in seemingly unrelated
eBPF programs. I don't think this has to do with the changes from this
patch series, but if it does, please let me know what I may have to do
different to make the CI pass.
====================
selftests/bpf: Fix file descriptor assertion in open_tuntap helper
The open_tuntap helper function uses open() to get a file descriptor for
/dev/net/tun.
The open(2) manpage writes this about its return value:
On success, open(), openat(), and creat() return the new file
descriptor (a nonnegative integer). On error, -1 is returned and
errno is set to indicate the error.
This means that the fd > 0 assertion in the open_tuntap helper is
incorrect and should rather check for fd >= 0.
When running the BPF selftests locally, this incorrect assertion was not
an issue, but the BPF kernel-patches CI failed because of this:
open_tuntap:FAIL:open(/dev/net/tun) unexpected open(/dev/net/tun):
actual 0 <= expected 0
selftests/bpf: Add test for XDP metadata support in tun driver
Add a selftest that creates a tap device, attaches XDP and TC programs,
writes a packet with a test payload into the tap device and checks the
test result. This test ensures that the XDP metadata support in the tun
driver is enabled and that the metadata size is correctly passed to the
skb.
See the previous commit ("selftests/bpf: refactor xdp_context_functional
test and bpf program") for details about the test design.
The test runs in its own network namespace. This provides some extra
safety against conflicting interface names.
selftests/bpf: Refactor xdp_context_functional test and bpf program
The existing XDP metadata test works by creating a veth pair and
attaching XDP & TC programs that drop the packet when the condition of
the test isn't fulfilled. The test then pings through the veth pair and
succeeds when the ping comes through.
While this test works great for a veth pair, it is hard to replicate for
tap devices to test the XDP metadata support of them. A similar test for
the tun driver would either involve logic to reply to the ping request,
or would have to capture the packet to check if it was dropped or not.
To make the testing of other drivers easier while still maximizing code
reuse, this commit refactors the existing xdp_context_functional test to
use a test_result map. Instead of conditionally passing or dropping the
packet, the TC program is changed to copy the received metadata into the
value of that single-entry array map. Tests can then verify that the map
value matches the expectation.
This testing logic is easy to adapt to other network drivers as the only
remaining requirement is that there is some way to send a custom
Ethernet packet through it that triggers the XDP & TC programs.
The Ethernet header of that custom packet is all-zero, because it is not
required to be valid for the test to work. The zero ethertype also helps
to filter out packets that are not related to the test and would
otherwise interfere with it.
The payload of the Ethernet packet is used as the test data that is
expected to be passed as metadata from the XDP to the TC program and
written to the map. It has a fixed size of 32 bytes which is a
reasonable size that should be supported by both drivers. Additional
packet headers are not necessary for the test and were therefore skipped
to keep the testing code short.
This new testing methodology no longer requires the veth interfaces to
have IP addresses assigned, therefore these were removed.
selftests/bpf: Move open_tuntap to network helpers
To test the XDP metadata functionality of the tun driver, it's necessary
to create a new tap device first. A helper function for this already
exists in lwt_helpers.h. Move it to the common network helpers header,
so it can be reused in other tests.
When the XDP metadata area was used, it is expected that the same
metadata can also be accessed from TC, as can be read in the description
of the bpf_xdp_adjust_meta helper function. In the tun driver, this was
not yet implemented.
To make this work, the skb that is being built on XDP_PASS should know
of the current size of the metadata area. This is ensured by adding
calls to skb_metadata_set. For the tun_xdp_one code path, an additional
check is necessary to handle the case where the externally initialized
xdp_buff has no metadata support (xdp->data_meta == xdp->data + 1).
More information about this feature can be found in the commit message
of commit de8f3a83b0a0 ("bpf: add meta pointer for direct access").
Enable the support for the bpf_xdp_adjust_meta helper function for XDP
buffers initialized by the tun driver. This allows to reserve a metadata
area that is useful to pass any information from one XDP program to
another one, for example when using tail-calls.
Whether this helper function can be used in an XDP program depends on
how the xdp_buff was initialized. Most net drivers initialize the
xdp_buff in a way, that allows bpf_xdp_adjust_meta to be used. In case
of the tun driver, this is currently not the case.
There are two code paths in the tun driver that lead to a
bpf_prog_run_xdp and where metadata support should be enabled:
1. tun_build_skb, which is called by tun_get_user and is used when
writing packets from userspace into the device. In this case, the
xdp_buff created in tun_build_skb has no support for
bpf_xdp_adjust_meta and calls of that helper function result in
ENOTSUPP.
For this code path, it's sufficient to set the meta_valid argument of
the xdp_prepare_buff call. The reserved headroom is large enough
already.
2. tun_xdp_one, which is called by tun_sendmsg which again is called by
other drivers (e.g. vhost_net). When the TUN_MSG_PTR mode is used,
another driver may pass a batch of xdp_buffs to the tun driver. In
this case, that other driver is the one initializing the xdp_buff.
See commit 043d222f93ab ("tuntap: accept an array of XDP buffs
through sendmsg()") for details.
For now, the vhost_net driver is the only one using TUN_MSG_PTR and
it already initializes the xdp_buffs with metadata support and
sufficient headroom. But the tun driver disables it again, so the
xdp_set_data_meta_invalid call has to be removed.
