====================
mptcp: misc. features for v6.20/7.0
This series contains a few independent new features, and small fixes for
net-next:
- Patches 1-2: two small fixes linked to the MPTCP receive buffer that
are not urgent, requiring code that has been recently changed, and is
needed for the next patch. Because we are at the end of the cycle, it
seems easier to send them to net-next, instead of dealing with
conflicts between net and net-next.
- Patch 3: a refactoring to simplify the code around MPTCP DRS.
- Patch 4: a new trace event for MPTCP to help debugging receive buffer
auto-tuning issues.
- Patch 5: align internal MPTCP PM structure with NL specs, just to
manipulate the same thing.
- Patch 6: convert some min_t(int, ...) to min(): cleaner, and to avoid
future warnings.
- Patch 7: [removed]
- Patch 8: sort all #include in MPTCP Diag tool in the selftests to
prevent future potential conflicts and ease the reading.
- Patches 9-11: improve the MPTCP Join selftest by waiting for an event
instead of a "random" sleep.
- Patches 12-14: some small cleanups in the selftests, seen while
working on the previous patches.
- Patch 15: avoid marking subtests as skipped while still validating
most checks when executing the last MPTCP selftests on older kernels.
====================
In fact, behind each line, a few counters are checked, and likely not
all of them have been skipped because the they are not available on
these kernels. Instead, "new" and unsupported counters for these groups
are now ignored, and [ OK ] will be printed instead of [SKIP].
Note that on the MPTCP CI, when validating the dev versions, any
unsupported counter will cause the tests to fail. So this is safe not to
print 'SKIP' for these group checks.
nstat outputs are already printed when calling 'fail_test', no need to
do it again.
While at it, no need to use the dump_stats variable, print the extra
stats directly. And use 'ip -n $ns' instead of 'ip netns exec $ns',
shorter and clearer.
selftests: mptcp: join: userspace: wait for new events
Instead of waiting for a random amount of time (1 second), wait for an
event to be received on the other side.
To do that, when an address is announced (userspace_pm_add_addr), the
ANNOUNCED is expected. When a new subflow is created
(userspace_pm_add_sf), the SUB_ESTABLISHED event is expected.
It looks like most of the time, this helper was simply waiting a bit
more than one second: the previous MPJoin counter was often already at
the expected value. So at the end, it was just checking 10 times for
the MPJoin counter to change, but it was not happening. For the tests,
that was time, it was just waiting longer for nothing.
Instead, use 'wait_mpj' with the expected counter: in the tests, the MPJ
counter can easily be predicted. While at it, stop passing the netns as
argument: here the received MPJoin ACK is checked, which happens on the
server side. If later on, this needs to be checked on the client side,
the helper can be adapted for this case, but better avoid confusions now
if it is not needed.
While at it, stop using 'i' for the variable if it is not used.
selftests: mptcp: join: wait for estab event instead of MPJ
'wait_mpj' was used just after having created a background connection,
but before creating new subflows. So no MPJ were sent. The intention was
to wait for the connection to be established, which was the same as
doing a simple sleep with a "random" value.
Instead, wait for an "established" event. With this, the tests can
finish quicker.
This file is the only one from this directory not to have all these
header inclusions sorted by type and alphabetical order.
Adapt them, to ease the reading, prevent conflicts during potential
future backport modifying these lines, and also to avoid having UAPI
header inclusions before libc ones, see [1].
Both mptcp_wnd_end(msk) and msk->snd_nxt are u64, their difference
(aka the window size) might be limited to 32 bits - but that isn't
knowable from this code.
So checks being added to min_t() detect the potential discard of
significant bits.
Provided the 'avail_size' and return of mptcp_check_allowed_size()
are changed to an unsigned type (size_t matches the type the caller
uses) both min_t() can be changed to min().

mptcp: pm: align endpoint flags size with the NL specs
The MPTCP Netlink specs describe the 'flags' as a u32 type. Internally,
a u8 type was used.
Using a u8 is currently fine, because only the 5 first bits are used.
But there is also no reason not to be aligns with the specs, and
to stick to a u8. Especially because there is a whole of 3 bytes after
in both mptcp_pm_local and mptcp_pm_addr_entry structures.
Also, setting it to a u32 will allow future flags, just in case.

mptcp: fix receive space timestamp initialization
MPTCP initialize the receive buffer stamp in mptcp_rcv_space_init(),
using the provided subflow stamp. Such helper is invoked in several
places; for passive sockets, space init happened at clone time.
In such scenario, MPTCP ends-up accesses the subflow stamp before
its initialization, leading to quite randomic timing for the first
receive buffer auto-tune event, as the timestamp for newly created
subflow is not refreshed there.
Fix the issue moving the stamp initialization out of the mentioned helper,
at the data transfer start, and always using a fresh timestamp.

mptcp: do not account for OoO in mptcp_rcvbuf_grow()
MPTCP-level OoOs are physiological when multiple subflows are active
concurrently and will not cause retransmissions nor are caused by
drops.
Accounting for them in mptcp_rcvbuf_grow() causes the rcvbuf slowly
drifting towards tcp_rmem[2].
Remove such accounting. Note that subflows will still account for TCP-level
OoO when the MPTCP-level rcvbuf is propagated.
This also closes a subtle and very unlikely race condition with rcvspace
init; active sockets with user-space holding the msk-level socket lock,
could complete such initialization in the receive callback, after that the
first OoO data reaches the rcvbuf and potentially triggering a divide by
zero Oops.

====================
STP/RSTP SWITCH support for PRU-ICSSM Ethernet driver
The DUAL-EMAC patch series for Megabit Industrial Communication Sub-system
(ICSSM), which provides the foundational support for Ethernet functionality
over PRU-ICSS on the TI SOCs (AM335x, AM437x, and AM57x), was merged into
net-next recently [1].
This patch series enhances the PRU-ICSSM Ethernet driver to support bridge
(STP/RSTP) SWITCH mode, which has been implemented using the "switchdev"
framework and interacts with the "mstp daemon" for STP and RSTP management
in userspace.
When the SWITCH mode is enabled, forwarding of Ethernet packets using
either the traditional store-and-forward mechanism or via cut-through is
offloaded to the two PRU based Ethernet interfaces available within the
ICSSM. The firmware running on the PRU inspects the bridge port states and
performs necessary checks before forwarding a packet. This improves the
overall system performance and significantly reduces the packet forwarding
latency.
Protocol switching from Dual-EMAC to bridge (STP/RSTP) SWITCH mode can be
done as follows.
Assuming eth2 and eth3 are the two physical ports of the ICSS2 instance:
>> brctl addbr br0
>> ip maddr add 01:80:c2:00:00:00 dev br0
>> ip link set dev br0 address $(cat /sys/class/net/eth2/address)
>> brctl addif br0 eth2
>> brctl addif br0 eth3
>> mstpd
>> brctl stp br0 on
>> mstpctl setforcevers br0 rstp
>> ip link set dev br0 up
To revert back to the default dual EMAC mode, the steps are as follows:
>> ip link set dev br0 down
>> brctl delif br0 eth2
>> brctl delif br0 eth3
>> brctl delbr br0
The patches presented in this series have gone through the patch verification
tools and no warnings or errors are reported.

net: ti: icssm-prueth: Add helper functions to configure and maintain FDB
Introduce helper functions to configure and maintain Forwarding
Database (FDB) tables to aid with the switch mode feature for PRU-ICSS
ports. The PRU-ICSS FDB is maintained such that it is always in sync with
the Linux bridge driver FDB.
The FDB is used by the driver to determine whether to flood a packet,
received from the user plane, to both ports or direct it to a specific port
using the flags in the FDB table entry.
The FDB is implemented in two main components: the Index table and the
MAC Address table. Adding, deleting, and maintaining entries are handled
by the PRUETH driver. There are two types of entries:
Dynamic: created from the received packets and are subject to aging.
Static: created by the user and these entries never age out.
8-bit hash value obtained using the source MAC address is used to identify
the index to the Index/Hash table. A bucket-based approach is used to
collate source MAC addresses with the same hash value. The Index/Hash table
holds the bucket index (16-bit value) and the number of entries in the
bucket with the same hash value (16-bit value). This table can hold up to
256 entries, with each entry consuming 4 bytes of memory. The bucket index
value points to the MAC address table indicating the start of MAC addresses
having the same hash values.
Each entry in the MAC Address table consists of:
1. 6 bytes of the MAC address,
2. 2-byte aging time, and
3. 1-byte each for port information and flags respectively.
When a new entry is added to the FDB, the hash value is calculated using an
XOR operation on the 6-byte MAC address. The result is used as an index
into the Hash/Index table to check if any entries exist. If no entries are
present, the first available empty slot in the MAC Address table is
allocated to insert this MAC address. If entries with the same hash value
are already present, the new MAC address entry is added to the MAC Address
table in such a way that it ensures all entries are grouped together and
sorted in ascending MAC address order. This approach helps efficiently
manage FDB entries.

same encoding, parameterise this by providing the bitfield mask in
the BSP private data.
This is the last user of GRF_FIELD_CONST(), so remove that definition
as well.
One additional change is for RK3328 - as only gmac2io supports RGMII,
only initialise the mask for this instance.
net: stmmac: rk: move speed GRF register offset to private data
Move the speed/clocking related GRF register offset into the driver
private data, convert rk_set_reg_speed() to use it and initialise this
member either from the corresponding member in struct rk_gmac_ops, or
the SoC specific initialisation function.
net: stmmac: rk: convert rk3588 to mask-based interface mode config
rk3588 has a quirk compared to the other Rockchip implementations in
that the interface mode configuration register is in the php_grf
regmap rather than the grf regmap. Add a flag to indicate this, and
a separate function to write to the appropriate regmap. This allows
rk3588 to be converted.
net: stmmac: rk: convert to mask-based interface mode configuration
The majority of Rockchip implementations require three common pieces
of information to configure the PHY interface mode:
- The grf register offset for configuring the GMAC phy_intf_sel field
and the RMII mode bit.
- The bitfield in this register for the GMAC's phy_intf_sel.
- The bit position for RMII mode but clear for RGMII mode.
Introduce members for this information into struct rk_priv_data and
struct rk_gmac_ops, which will be used to pre-initialise the struct
rk_priv_data members. We describe the register contents using
bitfields, even for those that are a single bit for consistency.
As each register comprises of two halves, where the upper half enables
changing the bit state in the lower half, we can describe these
bitfields using a 16-bit data type, and provide rk_encode_wm16() to
generate the actual register values from the field mask and field
value. We are unable to use the FIELD_PREP_WM16() macros for this as
these require the field mask to be a constant.
Add code to rk_gmac_powerup() to get the phy_intf_sel value, validating
that the resulting mode is either RMII or RGMII. No other modes are
supported by any of the Rockchip SoCs supported by this driver.
If either of the bitfield mask values are populated in struct
rk_priv_data, use these to generate the register contents, and write
the resulting value to the specified GRF register.
Convert many Rockchip implementations to use this new infrastructure.
For those where there is a single GMAC instance, it is merely a case of
filling in the new members of struct rk_gmac_ops. For those with
multiple instances, one or more of these members depends on the GMAC
instance, so setup of the members in struct rk_gmac has to be done via
the .init method of struct rk_gmac_ops. The corresponding code is
removed from the set_to_rgmii() and set_to_rmii() implementations.
Since the member name documents the purpose of the field that is being
initialised, providing preprocessor macros to define the bitfields is
deemed to be less than useful given the massive size of this driver.
The existing mechanisms remain behind for those SoCs that can not be
converted to this scheme.

recognize or support the Server response labelled 'Nonce' or ECN-nonce

to the nonce. The SYN/ACK labelled 'Nonce' with (AE,CWR,ECE) = (1,0,1)
is reserved for future use. A TCP Client (A) that receives such a SYN/ACK
follows the procedure for forward compatibility given in Section 3.1.3.

devlink: Reverse locking order for nested instances
Commit [1] defined the locking expectations for nested devlink
instances: the nested-in devlink instance lock needs to be acquired
before the nested devlink instance lock. The code handling devlink rels
was architected with that assumption in mind.
There are no actual users of double locking yet but that is about to
change in the upcoming patches in the series.
Code operating on nested devlink instances will require also obtaining
the nested-in instance lock, but such code may already be called from a
variety of places with the nested devlink instance lock. Then, there's
no way to acquire the nested-in lock other than making sure that all
callers acquire it first.
Reversing the nested lock order allows incrementally acquiring the
nested-in instance lock when needed (perhaps even a chain of locks up to
the root) without affecting any caller.
The only affected use of nesting is devlink_nl_nested_fill(), which
iterates over nested devlink instances with the RCU lock, without
locking them, so there's no possibility of deadlock.
So this commit just updates a comment regarding the nested locks.

PCS. Thus, PHY_INTF_SEL_SGMII is only supported when this block is

ptp: vmclock: Add VM generation counter and ACPI notification
Similarly to live migration, starting a VM from some serialized state
(aka snapshot) is an event which calls for adjusting guest clocks, hence
a hypervisor should increase the disruption_marker before resuming the
VM vCPUs, letting the guest know.
However, loading a snapshot, is slightly different than live migration,
especially since we can start multiple VMs from the same serialized
state. Apart from adjusting clocks, the guest needs to take additional
action during such events, e.g. recreate UUIDs, reset network
adapters/connections, reseed entropy pools, etc. These actions are not
necessary during live migration. This calls for a differentiation
between the two triggering events.
We differentiate between the two events via an extra field in the
vmclock_abi, called vm_generation_counter. Whereas hypervisors should
increase the disruption marker in both cases, they should only increase
vm_generation_counter when a snapshot is loaded in a VM (not during live
migration).
Additionally, we attach an ACPI notification to VMClock. Implementing
the notification is optional for the device. VMClock device will declare
that it implements the notification by setting
VMCLOCK_FLAG_NOTIFICATION_PRESENT bit in vmclock_abi flags. Hypervisors
that implement the notification must send an ACPI notification every
time seq_count changes to an even number. The driver will propagate
these notifications to userspace via the poll() interface.

ptp: ptp_vmclock: return TAI not UTC
To output UTC would involve complex calculations about whether the time
elapsed since the reference time has crossed the end of the month when
a leap second takes effect. I've prototyped that, but it made me sad.
Much better to report TAI, which is what PHCs should do anyway.
And much much simpler.

ptp: ptp_vmclock: add 'VMCLOCK' to ACPI device match
As we finalised the spec, we spotted that vmgenid actually says that the
_HID is supposed to be hypervisor-specific. Although in the 13 years
since the original vmgenid doc was published, nobody seems to have cared
about using _HID to distinguish between implementations on different
hypervisors, and we only ever use the _CID.
For consistency, match the _CID of "VMCLOCK" too.

ptp: ptp_vmclock: Add device tree support
Add device tree support to the ptp_vmclock driver, allowing it to probe
via device tree in addition to ACPI.
Handle optional interrupt for clock disruption notifications, mirroring
the ACPI notification behaviour.
Although the interrupt is marked as 'optional' in the DT bindings, if
the device *advertises* the VMCLOCK_FLAG_NOTIFICATION_ABSENT then it
*should* have an interrupt. The driver will refuse to initialize if not.
