ice: add support for reading and unpacking Rx queue context
In order to support live migration, the ice driver will need to read
certain data from the Rx queue context. This is stored in the hardware in a
packed format.
Since we use <linux/packing.h> for the mapping between the packed hardware
format and the unpacked structure, it is trivial to enable unpacking
support via the unpack_fields() function.
Add the ice_unpack_rxq_ctx() function based on the unpack_fields() API.
Re-use the same field definitions from the packing implementation.
Add ice_copy_rxq_ctx_from_hw() to copy the Rx queue context data from the
hardware registers.
Use these to implement ice_read_rxq_ctx() which will return the Rx queue
context to the caller in its unpacked ice_rlan_ctx struct.
This will enable the migration logic access to the relevant data about the
Rx device queues. It can easily be copied to the target system as part of
the migration payload, where it will be used to configure the Rx queues.

This patch provides a setsockopt method to let applications leverage to
adjust how many descs to be handled at most in one send syscall. It
mitigates the situation where the default value (32) that is too small
leads to higher frequency of triggering send syscall.
Considering the prosperity/complexity the applications have, there is no
absolutely ideal suggestion fitting all cases. So keep 32 as its default
value like before.
The patch does the following things:
- Add XDP_MAX_TX_SKB_BUDGET socket option.
- Set max_tx_budget to 32 by default in the initialization phase as a
per-socket granular control.
- Set the range of max_tx_budget as [32, xs->tx->nentries].
The idea behind this comes out of real workloads in production. We use a
user-level stack with xsk support to accelerate sending packets and
minimize triggering syscalls. When the packets are aggregated, it's not
hard to hit the upper bound (namely, 32). The moment user-space stack
fetches the -EAGAIN error number passed from sendto(), it will loop to try
again until all the expected descs from tx ring are sent out to the driver.
Enlarging the XDP_MAX_TX_SKB_BUDGET value contributes to less frequency of
sendto() and higher throughput/PPS.
Here is what I did in production, along with some numbers as follows:
For one application I saw lately, I suggested using 128 as max_tx_budget
because I saw two limitations without changing any default configuration:
1) XDP_MAX_TX_SKB_BUDGET, 2) socket sndbuf which is 212992 decided by
net.core.wmem_default. As to XDP_MAX_TX_SKB_BUDGET, the scenario behind
this was I counted how many descs are transmitted to the driver at one
time of sendto() based on [1] patch and then I calculated the
possibility of hitting the upper bound. Finally I chose 128 as a
suitable value because 1) it covers most of the cases, 2) a higher
number would not bring evident results. After twisting the parameters,
a stable improvement of around 4% for both PPS and throughput and less
resources consumption were found to be observed by strace -c -p xxx:
1) %time was decreased by 7.8%
2) error counter was decreased from 18367 to 572
RQTs (Receive Queue Table) should redirect traffic to the channels' RQs
when they're active. Otherwise, redirect to the designated "drop RQ".
RQTs are created in "inactive" state, pointing to the "drop RQ".
In activate and de-activate flows, do not "deactivate" the rest of RQTs

This cuts down unnecessary execution of FW commands (MODIFY_RQT), and
improves the latency of open/close channels or configuration change.

net/mlx5e: Remove unused VLAN insertion logic in TX path
The VLAN insertion capability (`wqe_vlan_insert`) was never enabled on
all mlx5 devices. When VLAN TX offload is advertised but this
capability is not supported, the driver uses inline headers to insert
the VLAN tag.
To support this, the driver used to set the
`MLX5E_SQ_STATE_VLAN_NEED_L2_INLINE` bit to enforce L2 inline mode
when `wqe_vlan_insert` was not supported. Since the capability is
disabled on all devices, this logic was always active, and the SQ flag
has become redundant. L2 inline is enforced unconditionally for
VLAN-tagged packets.
The `skb_vlan_tag_present()` check in the else-if block of
`mlx5e_sq_xmit_wqe()` is never true by this point in the TX flow,
as the VLAN tag has already been inserted by the driver using inline
headers. As a result, this code is never executed.
Remove the redundant SQ state, dead VLAN insertion code block, and
related logic.
vsock/test: fix test for null ptr deref when transport changes
In test_stream_transport_change_client(), the client sends CONTROL_CONTINUE
on each iteration, even when connect() is unsuccessful. This causes a flood
of control messages in the server that hangs around for more than 10
seconds after the test finishes, triggering several timeouts and causing
subsequent tests to fail. This was discovered in testing a newly proposed
test that failed in this way on the client side:
...
33 - SOCK_STREAM transport change null-ptr-deref...ok
34 - SOCK_STREAM ioctl(SIOCINQ) functionality...recv timed out
The CONTROL_CONTINUE message is used only to tell to the server to call
accept() to consume successful connections, so that subsequent connect()
will not fail for finding the queue full.
Send CONTROL_CONTINUE message only when the connect() has succeeded, or
found the queue full. Note that the second connect() can also succeed if
the first one was interrupted after sending the request.

Proper bcm54811 PHY driver initialization for MII-Lite.
The bcm54811 PHY in MLP package must be setup for MII-Lite interface
mode by software. Normally, the PHY to MAC interface is selected in
hardware by setting the bootstrap pins of the PHY. However, MII and
MII-Lite share the same hardware setup and must be distinguished by
software, setting appropriate bit in a configuration register.
The MII-Lite interface mode is non-standard one, defined by Broadcom
for some of their PHYs. The MII-Lite lightness consist in omitting
RXER, TXER, CRS and COL signals of the standard MII interface.
Absence of COL them makes half-duplex links modes impossible but
does not interfere with Broadcom's BroadR-Reach link modes, because
they are full-duplex only.
To do it in a clean way, MII-Lite must be introduced first, including
its limitation to link modes (no half-duplex), because it is a
prerequisite for the patch #3 of this series. The patch #4 does not
depend on MII-Lite directly but both #3 and #4 are necessary for
bcm54811 to work properly without additional configuration steps to be
done - for example in the bootloader, before the kernel starts.
PATCH 1 - Add MII-Lite PHY interface mode as defined by Broadcom for
their two-wire PHYs. It can be used with most Ethernet controllers
under certain limitations (no half-duplex link modes etc.).
PATCH 2 - Add MII-Lite PHY interface type
PATCH 3 - Activation of MII-Lite interface mode on Broadcom bcm5481x
PHYs
PATCH 4 - Initialize the BCM54811 PHY properly so that it conforms
to the datasheet regarding a reserved bit in the LRE Control
register, which must be written to zero after every device reset.
Ignore the LDS capability bit in LRE Status register on bcm54811.
====================
Reset the bit 12 in PHY's LRE Control register upon initialization.
According to the datasheet, this bit must be written to zero after
every device reset.
Broadcom PHYs featuring the BroadR-Reach two-wire link mode are usually
capable to operate in simplified MII mode, without TXER, RXER, CRS and
COL signals as defined for the MII. The absence of COL signal makes
half-duplex link modes impossible, however, the BroadR-Reach modes are
all full-duplex only.
Depending on the IC encapsulation, there exist MII-Lite-only PHYs such
as bcm54811 in MLP. The PHY itself is hardware-strapped to select among
multiple RGMII and MII-Lite modes, but the MII-Lite mode must be also
activated by software.
Add MII-Lite activation for bcm5481x PHYs.

hv_sock: Return the readable bytes in hvs_stream_has_data()
When hv_sock was originally added, __vsock_stream_recvmsg() and
vsock_stream_has_data() actually only needed to know whether there
is any readable data or not, so hvs_stream_has_data() was written to
return 1 or 0 for simplicity.
However, now hvs_stream_has_data() should return the readable bytes
because vsock_data_ready() -> vsock_stream_has_data() needs to know the
actual bytes rather than a boolean value of 1 or 0.
The SIOCINQ ioctl support also needs hvs_stream_has_data() to return
the readable bytes.
Let hvs_stream_has_data() return the readable bytes of the payload in
the next host-to-guest VMBus hv_sock packet.
Note: there may be multiple incoming hv_sock packets pending in the
VMBus channel's ringbuffer, but so far there is not a VMBus API that
allows us to know all the readable bytes in total without reading and
caching the payload of the multiple packets, so let's just return the
readable bytes of the next single packet. In the future, we'll either
add a VMBus API that allows us to know the total readable bytes without
touching the data in the ringbuffer, or the hv_sock driver needs to
understand the VMBus packet format and parse the packets directly.

to ensure that page frags used in the RX path, including page pool
frags, are allocated on the NUMA node local to the gVNIC device. Note
that this attempt is best-effort. If necessary, the driver will still
allocate non-local memory, as __GFP_THISNODE is not passed. Descriptor
ring allocations are not updated, as dma_alloc_coherent handles that.

from the node local to the device, preserving the behavior that TX and

where the base_freq comes from the list of supported base frequencies
and other parameters are arbitrary numbers. All these parameters are
16-bit unsigned integers.
The frequency for output pin is determined by the frequency of
synthesizer the output pin is connected to and divisor of the output
to which is the given pin belongs. The resulting frequency of the
P-pin and the N-pin from this output pair depends on the signal
format of this output pair.
The device supports so-called N-divided signal formats where for the
N-pin there is an additional divisor. The frequencies for both pins
from such output pair are computed:
For other signal-format types both P and N pin have the same frequency
based only synth frequency and output divisor.
Implement output pin callbacks to get and set frequency. The frequency
setting for the output non-N-divided signal format is simple as we have
to compute just new output divisor. For N-divided formats it is more
complex because by changing of output divisor we change frequency for
both P and N pins. In this case if we are changing frequency for P-pin
we have to compute also new N-divisor for N-pin to keep its current
frequency. From this and the above it follows that the frequency of
the N-pin cannot be higher than the frequency of the P-pin and the
callback must take this limitation into account.

Add vf drivers for wangxun virtual functions
Introduces basic support for Wangxun’s virtual function (VF) network
drivers, specifically txgbevf and ngbevf. These drivers provide SR-IOV
VF functionality for Wangxun 10/25/40G network devices.
The first three patches add common APIs for Wangxun VF drivers, including
mailbox communication and shared initialization logic.These abstractions
are placed in libwx to reduce duplication across VF drivers.
Patches 4–8 introduce the txgbevf driver, including:
PCI device initialization, Hardware reset, Interrupt setup, Rx/Tx datapath
implementation and link status changeing flow.
Patches 9–12 implement the ngbevf driver, mirroring the functionality
added in txgbevf.
Add link update flow to wangxun 1G virtual functions.
Get link status from pf in mbox, and if it is failed then
check the vx_status, because vx_status switching is too slow.

ipv6: Drop RTNL from mcast.c and anycast.c
This is a prep series for RCU conversion of RTM_NEWNEIGH, which needs
RTNL during neigh_table.{pconstructor,pdestructor}() touching IPv6
multicast code.
Currently, IPv6 multicast code is protected by lock_sock() and
inet6_dev->mc_lock, and RTNL is not actually needed.
In addition, anycast code is also in the same situation and does not
need RTNL at all.
This series removes RTNL from net/ipv6/{mcast.c,anycast.c} and finally
removes setsockopt_needs_rtnl() from do_ipv6_setsockopt().
inet6_dev->ac_list is protected by inet6_dev->lock, so rtnl_dereference()
is a bit rough annotation.
As done in mcast.c, we can use ac_dereference() that checks if
inet6_dev->lock is held.
Let's replace rtnl_dereference() with a new helper ac_dereference().
Note that now addrconf_join_solict() / addrconf_leave_solict() in
__ipv6_dev_ac_inc() / __ipv6_dev_ac_dec() does not need RTNL, so we
can remove ASSERT_RTNL() there.
ipv6: mcast: Remove unnecessary ASSERT_RTNL and comment.
Now, RTNL is not needed for mcast code, and what's commented in
ip6_mc_msfget() is apparent by for_each_pmc_socklock(), which has
lockdep annotation for lock_sock().
Let's remove the comment and ASSERT_RTNL() in ipv6_mc_rejoin_groups().
ipv6: mcast: Don't hold RTNL for MCAST_ socket options.
In ip6_mc_source() and ip6_mc_msfilter(), per-socket mld data is
protected by lock_sock() and inet6_dev->mc_lock is also held for
some per-interface functions.
ip6_mc_find_dev_rtnl() only depends on RTNL. If we want to remove
it, we need to check inet6_dev->dead under mc_lock to close the race
with addrconf_ifdown(), as mentioned earlier.
Let's do that and drop RTNL for the rest of MCAST_ socket options.
Note that ip6_mc_msfilter() has unnecessary lock dances and they
are integrated into one to avoid the last-minute error and simplify
the error handling.
ipv6: mcast: Don't hold RTNL for IPV6_ADD_MEMBERSHIP and MCAST_JOIN_GROUP.
In __ipv6_sock_mc_join(), per-socket mld data is protected by lock_sock(),
and only __dev_get_by_index() requires RTNL.
Let's use dev_get_by_index() and drop RTNL for IPV6_ADD_MEMBERSHIP and
MCAST_JOIN_GROUP.
Note that we must call rt6_lookup() and dev_hold() under RCU.
If rt6_lookup() returns an entry from the exception table, dst_dev_put()
could change rt->dev.dst to loopback concurrently, and the original device
could lose the refcount before dev_hold() and unblock device registration.
dst_dev_put() is called from NETDEV_UNREGISTER and synchronize_net() follows
it, so as long as rt6_lookup() and dev_hold() are called within the same
RCU critical section, the dev is alive.
Even if the race happens, they are synchronised by idev->dead and mcast
addresses are cleaned up.
For the racy access to rt->dst.dev, we use dst_dev().
Since commit 63ed8de4be81 ("mld: add mc_lock for protecting per-interface
mld data"), the newly allocated struct ifmcaddr6 cannot be removed until
inet6_dev->mc_lock is released, so mca_get() and mc_put() are unnecessary.
Let's remove the extra refcounting.
Note that mca_get() was only used in __ipv6_dev_mc_inc().
The race window can be easily closed by checking inet6_dev->dead
under inet6_dev->mc_lock in __ipv6_dev_mc_inc() as addrconf_ifdown()
will acquire it after marking inet6_dev dead.
Let's check inet6_dev->dead under mc_lock in __ipv6_dev_mc_inc().
Note that now __ipv6_dev_mc_inc() no longer depends on RTNL and
we can remove ASSERT_RTNL() there and the RTNL comment above
addrconf_join_solict().

selftests/bpf: add a new test to check the consumer update case
The subtest sends 33 packets at one time on purpose to see if xsk
exitting __xsk_generic_xmit() updates the global consumer of tx queue
when reaching the max loop (max_tx_budget, 32 by default). The number 33
can avoid xskq_cons_peek_desc() updates the consumer when it's about to
quit sending, to accurately check if the issue that the first patch

net: xsk: update tx queue consumer immediately after transmission
For afxdp, the return value of sendto() syscall doesn't reflect how many
descs handled in the kernel. One of use cases is that when user-space
application tries to know the number of transmitted skbs and then decides
if it continues to send, say, is it stopped due to max tx budget?
The following formular can be used after sending to learn how many
skbs/descs the kernel takes care of:
Prior to the current patch, in non-zc mode, the consumer of tx queue is
not immediately updated at the end of each sendto syscall when error
occurs, which leads to the consumer value out-of-dated from the perspective
of user space. So this patch requires store operation to pass the cached
value to the shared value to handle the problem.
More than those explicit errors appearing in the while() loop in
__xsk_generic_xmit(), there are a few possible error cases that might
be neglected in the following call trace:
__xsk_generic_xmit()
xskq_cons_peek_desc()
xskq_cons_read_desc()
xskq_cons_is_valid_desc()
It will also cause the premature exit in the while() loop even if not
all the descs are consumed.
Based on the above analysis, using @sent_frame could cover all the possible
cases where it might lead to out-of-dated global state of consumer after
finishing __xsk_generic_xmit().
The patch also adds a common helper __xsk_tx_release() to keep align
with the zc mode usage in xsk_tx_release().
We have an application that uses almost the same code for TCP and
AF_UNIX (SOCK_STREAM).
The application uses TCP_INQ for TCP, but AF_UNIX doesn't have it
and requires an extra syscall, ioctl(SIOCINQ) or getsockopt(SO_MEMINFO)
as an alternative.
Also, ioctl(SIOCINQ) for AF_UNIX SOCK_STREAM is more expensive because
it needs to iterate all skb in the receive queue.
This series adds a cached field for SIOCINQ to speed it up and introduce
SO_INQ, the generic version of TCP_INQ to get the queue length as cmsg in
each recvmsg().
====================
Let's add a simple test to check the basic functionality of SO_INQ.
The test does the following:
1. Create socketpair in self->fd[]
2. Enable SO_INQ
3. Send data via self->fd[0]
4. Receive data from self->fd[1]
5. Compare the SCM_INQ cmsg with ioctl(SIOCINQ)
We have an application that uses almost the same code for TCP and
AF_UNIX (SOCK_STREAM).
TCP can use TCP_INQ, but AF_UNIX doesn't have it and requires an
extra syscall, ioctl(SIOCINQ) or getsockopt(SO_MEMINFO) as an
alternative.
Let's introduce the generic version of TCP_INQ.
If SO_INQ is enabled, recvmsg() will put a cmsg of SCM_INQ that
contains the exact value of ioctl(SIOCINQ). The cmsg is also
included when msg->msg_get_inq is non-zero to make sockets
io_uring-friendly.
Note that SOCK_CUSTOM_SOCKOPT is flagged only for SOCK_STREAM to
override setsockopt() for SOL_SOCKET.
By having the flag in struct unix_sock, instead of struct sock, we
can later add SO_INQ support for TCP and reuse tcp_sk(sk)->recvmsg_inq.
Note also that supporting custom getsockopt() for SOL_SOCKET will need
preparation for other SOCK_CUSTOM_SOCKOPT users (UDP, vsock, MPTCP).
af_unix: Use cached value for SOCK_STREAM in unix_inq_len().
Compared to TCP, ioctl(SIOCINQ) for AF_UNIX SOCK_STREAM socket is more
expensive, as unix_inq_len() requires iterating through the receive queue
and accumulating skb->len.
Let's cache the value for SOCK_STREAM to a new field during sendmsg()
and recvmsg().
The field is protected by the receive queue lock.
Note that ioctl(SIOCINQ) for SOCK_DGRAM returns the length of the first
skb in the queue.
SOCK_SEQPACKET still requires iterating through the queue because we do
not touch functions shared with unix_dgram_ops. But, if really needed,
we can support it by switching __skb_try_recv_datagram() to a custom
version.
af_unix: Don't use skb_recv_datagram() in unix_stream_read_skb().
unix_stream_read_skb() calls skb_recv_datagram() with MSG_DONTWAIT,
which is mostly equivalent to sock_error(sk) + skb_dequeue().
In the following patch, we will add a new field to cache the number
of bytes in the receive queue. Then, we want to avoid introducing
atomic ops in the fast path, so we will reuse the receive queue lock.
As a preparation for the change, let's not use skb_recv_datagram()
in unix_stream_read_skb().
Note that sock_error() is now moved out of the u->iolock mutex as
the mutex does not synchronise the peer's close() at all.
