net-device: move xdp_prog to net_device_read_rx

xdp_prog is used in receive path, both from XDP enabled drivers and from netif_elide_gro(). This patch also removes two 4-bytes holes.

net: phy: Introduce ethernet link topology representation

2024-01-01T18:38:56+00:00

Link topologies containing multiple network PHYs attached to the same net_device can be found when using a PHY as a media converter for use with an SFP connector, on which an SFP transceiver containing a PHY can be used. With the current model, the transceiver's PHY can't be used for operations such as cable testing, timestamping, macsec offload, etc. The reason being that most of the logic for these configuration, coming from either ethtool netlink or ioctls tend to use netdev->phydev, which in multi-phy systems will reference the PHY closest to the MAC. Introduce a numbering scheme allowing to enumerate PHY devices that belong to any netdev, which can in turn allow userspace to take more precise decisions with regard to each PHY's configuration. The numbering is maintained per-netdev, in a phy_device_list. The numbering works similarly to a netdevice's ifindex, with identifiers that are only recycled once INT_MAX has been reached. This prevents races that could occur between PHY listing and SFP transceiver removal/insertion. The identifiers are assigned at phy_attach time, as the numbering depends on the netdevice the phy is attached to. Signed-off-by: Maxime Chevallier Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Add MDB bulk deletion device operation

2023-12-20T11:27:20+00:00

Add MDB net device operation that will be invoked by rtnetlink code in response to received 'RTM_DELMDB' messages with the 'NLM_F_BULK' flag set. Subsequent patches will implement the operation in the bridge and VXLAN drivers. Signed-off-by: Ido Schimmel Reviewed-by: Petr Machata Acked-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: core: synchronize link-watch when carrier is queried

2023-12-06T04:16:45+00:00

There are multiple ways to query for the carrier state: through rtnetlink, sysfs, and (possibly) ethtool. Synchronize linkwatch work before these operations so that we don't have a situation where userspace queries the carrier state between the driver's carrier off->on transition and linkwatch running and expects it to work, when really (at least) TX cannot work until linkwatch has run. I previously posted a longer explanation of how this applies to wireless [1] but with this wireless can simply query the state before sending data, to ensure the kernel is ready for it.

The main changes are: 1) 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, from Stanislav Fomichev with stmmac implementation from Song Yoong Siang. 2) 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, from Andrii Nakryiko. 3) Add BPF link_info support for uprobe multi link along with bpftool integration for the latter, from Jiri Olsa. 4) Use pkg-config in BPF selftests to determine ld flags which is in particular needed for linking statically, from Akihiko Odaki. 5) Fix a few BPF selftest failures to adapt to the upcoming LLVM18, from Yonghong Song. * tag 'for-netdev' of https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf-next: (30 commits) bpf/tests: Remove duplicate JSGT tests selftests/bpf: Add TX side to xdp_hw_metadata selftests/bpf: Convert xdp_hw_metadata to XDP_USE_NEED_WAKEUP selftests/bpf: Add TX side to xdp_metadata selftests/bpf: Add csum helpers selftests/xsk: Support tx_metadata_len xsk: Add option to calculate TX checksum in SW xsk: Validate xsk_tx_metadata flags xsk: Document tx_metadata_len layout net: stmmac: Add Tx HWTS support to XDP ZC net/mlx5e: Implement AF_XDP TX timestamp and checksum offload tools: ynl: Print xsk-features from the sample xsk: Add TX timestamp and TX checksum offload support xsk: Support tx_metadata_len selftests/bpf: Use pkg-config for libelf selftests/bpf: Override PKG_CONFIG for static builds selftests/bpf: Choose pkg-config for the target bpftool: Add support to display uprobe_multi links selftests/bpf: Add link_info test for uprobe_multi link selftests/bpf: Use bpf_link__destroy in fill_link_info tests ... ==================== Conflicts: Documentation/netlink/specs/netdev.yaml: 839ff60df3ab ("net: page_pool: add nlspec for basic access to page pools") 48eb03dd2630 ("xsk: Add TX timestamp and TX checksum offload support") https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231201094705.1ee3cab8@canb.auug.org.au/ While at it also regen, tree is dirty after: 48eb03dd2630 ("xsk: Add TX timestamp and TX checksum offload support") looks like code wasn't re-rendered after "render-max" was removed.
