2025-01-24checkpatch: remove migrated RCU APIs from deprecated_apisDavid Reaver
The deprecated_apis map was created in [1] so checkpatch would flag deprecated RCU APIs. These deprecated APIs have since been removed from the kernel. This patch removes them from this map so checkpatch doesn't waste time looking for them, and so readers of checkpatch looking for deprecated APIs don't waste time searching for them.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni: "This is slightly smaller than usual, with the most interesting work being still around RTNL scope reduction. Core: - More core refactoring to reduce the RTNL lock contention, including preparatory work for the per-network namespace RTNL lock, replacing RTNL lock with a per device-one to protect NAPI-related net device data and moving synchronize_net() calls outside such lock. - Extend drop reasons usage, adding net scheduler, AF_UNIX, bridge and more specific TCP coverage. - Reduce network namespace tear-down time by removing per-subsystems synchronize_net() in tipc and sched. - Add flow label selector support for fib rules, allowing traffic redirection based on such header field. Netfilter: - Do not remove netdev basechain when last device is gone, allowing netdev basechains without devices. - Revisit the flowtable teardown strategy, dealing better with fin, reset and re-open events. - Scale-up IP-vs connection dumping by avoiding linear search on each restart. Protocols: - A significant XDP socket refactor, consolidating and optimizing several helpers into the core - Better scaling of ICMP rate-limiting, by removing false-sharing in inet peers handling. - Introduces netlink notifications for multicast IPv4 and IPv6 address changes. - Add ipsec support for IP-TFS/AggFrag encapsulation, allowing aggregation and fragmentation of the inner IP. - Add sysctl to configure TIME-WAIT reuse delay for TCP sockets, to avoid local port exhaustion issues when the average connection lifetime is very short. - Support updating keys (re-keying) for connections using kernel TLS (for TLS 1.3 only). - Support ipv4-mapped ipv6 address clients in smc-r v2. - Add support for jumbo data packet transmission in RxRPC sockets, gluing multiple data packets in a single UDP packet. - Support RxRPC RACK-TLP to manage packet loss and retransmission in conjunction with the congestion control algorithm. Driver API: - Introduce a unified and structured interface for reporting PHY statistics, exposing consistent data across different H/W via ethtool. - Make timestamping selectable, allow the user to select the desired hwtstamp provider (PHY or MAC) administratively. - Add support for configuring a header-data-split threshold (HDS) value via ethtool, to deal with partial or buggy H/W implementation. - Consolidate DSA drivers Energy Efficiency Ethernet support. - Add EEE management to phylink, making use of the phylib implementation. - Add phylib support for in-band capabilities negotiation. - Simplify how phylib-enabled mac drivers expose the supported interfaces. Tests and tooling: - Make the YNL tool package-friendly to make it easier to deploy it separately from the kernel. - Increase TCP selftest coverage importing several packetdrill test-cases. - Regenerate the ethtool uapi header from the YNL spec, to ease maintenance and future development. - Add YNL support for decoding the link types used in net self-tests, allowing a single build to run both net and drivers/net. Drivers: - Ethernet high-speed NICs: - nVidia/Mellanox (mlx5): - add cross E-Switch QoS support - add SW Steering support for ConnectX-8 - implement support for HW-Managed Flow Steering, improving the rule deletion/insertion rate - support for multi-host LAG - Intel (ixgbe, ice, igb): - ice: add support for devlink health events - ixgbe: add initial support for E610 chipset variant - igb: add support for AF_XDP zero-copy - Meta: - add support for basic RSS config - allow changing the number of channels - add hardware monitoring support - Broadcom (bnxt): - implement TCP data split and HDS threshold ethtool support, enabling Device Memory TCP. - Marvell Octeon: - implement egress ipsec offload support for the cn10k family - Hisilicon (HIBMC): - implement unicast MAC filtering - Ethernet NICs embedded and virtual: - Convert UDP tunnel drivers to NETDEV_PCPU_STAT_DSTATS, avoiding contented atomic operations for drop counters - Freescale: - quicc: phylink conversion - enetc: support Tx and Rx checksum offload and improve TSO performances - MediaTek: - airoha: introduce support for ETS and HTB Qdisc offload - Microchip: - lan78XX USB: preparation work for phylink conversion - Synopsys (stmmac): - support DWMAC IP on NXP Automotive SoCs S32G2xx/S32G3xx/S32R45 - refactor EEE support to leverage the new driver API - optimize DMA and cache access to increase raw RX performances by 40% - TI: - icssg-prueth: add multicast filtering support for VLAN interface - netkit: - add ability to configure head/tailroom - VXLAN: - accepts packets with user-defined reserved bit - Ethernet switches: - Microchip: - lan969x: add RGMII support - lan969x: improve TX and RX performance using the FDMA engine - nVidia/Mellanox: - move Tx header handling to PCI driver, to ease XDP support - Ethernet PHYs: - Texas Instruments DP83822: - add support for GPIO2 clock output - Realtek: - 8169: add support for RTL8125D rev.b - rtl822x: add hwmon support for the temperature sensor - Microchip: - add support for RDS PTP hardware - consolidate periodic output signal generation - CAN: - several DT-bindings to DT schema conversions - tcan4x5x: - add HW standby support - support nWKRQ voltage selection - kvaser: - allowing Bus Error Reporting runtime configuration - WiFi: - the on-going Multi-Link Operation (MLO) effort continues, affecting both the stack and in drivers - mac80211/cfg80211: - Emergency Preparedness Communication Services (EPCS) station mode support - support for adding and removing station links for MLO - add support for WiFi 7/EHT mesh over 320 MHz channels - report Tx power info for each link - RealTek (rtw88): - enable USB Rx aggregation and USB 3 to improve performance - LED support - RealTek (rtw89): - refactor power save to support Multi-Link Operations - add support for RTL8922AE-VS variant - MediaTek (mt76): - single wiphy multiband support (preparation for MLO) - p2p device support - add TP-Link TXE50UH USB adapter support - Qualcomm (ath10k): - support for the QCA6698AQ IP core - Qualcomm (ath12k): - enable MLO for QCN9274 - Bluetooth: - Allow sysfs to trigger hdev reset, to allow recovering devices not responsive from user-space - MediaTek: add support for MT7922, MT7925, MT7921e devices - Realtek: add support for RTL8851BE devices - Qualcomm: add support for WCN785x devices - ISO: allow BIG re-sync" * tag 'net-next-6.14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next: (1386 commits) net/rose: prevent integer overflows in rose_setsockopt() net: phylink: fix regression when binding a PHY net: ethernet: ti: am65-cpsw: streamline TX queue creation and cleanup net: ethernet: ti: am65-cpsw: streamline RX queue creation and cleanup net: ethernet: ti: am65-cpsw: ensure proper channel cleanup in error path ipv6: Convert inet6_rtm_deladdr() to per-netns RTNL. ipv6: Convert inet6_rtm_newaddr() to per-netns RTNL. ipv6: Move lifetime validation to inet6_rtm_newaddr(). ipv6: Set cfg.ifa_flags before device lookup in inet6_rtm_newaddr(). ipv6: Pass dev to inet6_addr_add(). ipv6: Convert inet6_ioctl() to per-netns RTNL. ipv6: Hold rtnl_net_lock() in addrconf_init() and addrconf_cleanup(). ipv6: Hold rtnl_net_lock() in addrconf_dad_work(). ipv6: Hold rtnl_net_lock() in addrconf_verify_work(). ipv6: Convert net.ipv6.conf.${DEV}.XXX sysctl to per-netns RTNL. ipv6: Add __in6_dev_get_rtnl_net(). net: stmmac: Drop redundant skb_mark_for_recycle() for SKB frags net: mii: Fix the Speed display when the network cable is not connected sysctl net: Remove macro checks for CONFIG_SYSCTL eth: bnxt: update header sizing defaults ...

2024-12-30Align git commit ID abbreviation guidelines and checksGeert Uytterhoeven
The guidelines for git commit ID abbreviation are inconsistent: some places state to use 12 characters exactly, while other places recommend 12 characters or more. The same issue is present in the checkpatch.pl script. E.g. Documentation/dev-tools/checkpatch.rst says: **GIT_COMMIT_ID** The proper way to reference a commit id is: commit <12+ chars of sha1> ("<title line>") However, scripts/checkpatch.pl has two different checks: one warning check accepting 12 characters exactly: # Check Fixes: styles is correct Please use correct Fixes: style 'Fixes: <12 chars of sha1> (\"<title line>\")' and a second error check accepting 12-40 characters: # Check for git id commit length and improperly formed commit descriptions # A correctly formed commit description is: # commit <SHA-1 hash length 12+ chars> ("Complete commit subject") Please use git commit description style 'commit <12+ chars of sha1> Hence patches containing commit IDs with more than 12 characters are flagged by checkpatch, and sometimes rejected by maintainers or reviewers. This is becoming more important with the growth of the repository, as git may decide to use more characters in case of local conflicts. Fix this by settling on at least 12 characters, in both the documentation and in the checkpatch.pl script.

2024-06-24checkpatch: check for missing Fixes tagsDan Carpenter
This check looks for common words that probably indicate a patch is a fix. For now the regex is: (?:(?:BUG: K.|UB)SAN: |Call Trace:|stable\@|syzkaller)/) Why are stable patches encouraged to have a fixes tag? Some people mark their stable patches as "# 5.10" etc. This is useful but a Fixes tag is still a good idea. For example, the Fixes tag helps in review. It helps people to not cherry-pick buggy patches without also cherry-picking the fix. Also if a bug affects the 5.7 kernel some people will round it up to 5.10+ because 5.7 is not supported on kernel.org. It's possible the Bad Binder bug was caused by this sort of gap where companies outside of kernel.org are supporting different kernels from kernel.org. Should it be counted as a Fix when a patch just silences harmless WARN_ON() stack trace. Yes. Definitely. Is silencing compiler warnings a fix? It seems unfair to the original authors, but we use -Werror now, and warnings break the build so let's just add Fixes tags. I tell people that silencing static checker warnings is not a fix but the rules on this vary by subsystem. Is fixing a minor LTP issue (Linux Test Project) a fix? Probably? It's hard to know what to do if the LTP test has technically always been broken. One clear false positive from this check is when someone updated their debug output and included before and after Call Traces. Or when crashes are introduced deliberately for testing. In those cases, you should just ignore checkpatch.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni: "The most interesting thing is probably the networking structs reorganization and a significant amount of changes is around self-tests. Core & protocols: - Analyze and reorganize core networking structs (socks, netdev, netns, mibs) to optimize cacheline consumption and set up build time warnings to safeguard against future header changes This improves TCP performances with many concurrent connections up to 40% - Add page-pool netlink-based introspection, exposing the memory usage and recycling stats. This helps indentify bad PP users and possible leaks - Refine TCP/DCCP source port selection to no longer favor even source port at connect() time when IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE is set. This lowers the time taken by connect() for hosts having many active connections to the same destination - Refactor the TCP bind conflict code, shrinking related socket structs - Refactor TCP SYN-Cookie handling, as a preparation step to allow arbitrary SYN-Cookie processing via eBPF - Tune optmem_max for 0-copy usage, increasing the default value to 128KB and namespecifying it - Allow coalescing for cloned skbs coming from page pools, improving RX performances with some common configurations - Reduce extension header parsing overhead at GRO time - Add bridge MDB bulk deletion support, allowing user-space to request the deletion of matching entries - Reorder nftables struct members, to keep data accessed by the datapath first - Introduce TC block ports tracking and use. This allows supporting multicast-like behavior at the TC layer - Remove UAPI support for retired TC qdiscs (dsmark, CBQ and ATM) and classifiers (RSVP and tcindex) - More data-race annotations - Extend the diag interface to dump TCP bound-only sockets - Conditional notification of events for TC qdisc class and actions - Support for WPAN dynamic associations with nearby devices, to form a sub-network using a specific PAN ID - Implement SMCv2.1 virtual ISM device support - Add support for Batman-avd mulicast packet type BPF: - Tons of verifier improvements: - BPF register bounds logic and range support along with a large test suite - log improvements - complete precision tracking support for register spills - track aligned STACK_ZERO cases as imprecise spilled registers. This improves the verifier "instructions processed" metric from single digit to 50-60% for some programs - support for user's global BPF subprogram arguments with few commonly requested annotations for a better developer experience - support tracking of BPF_JNE which helps cases when the compiler transforms (unsigned) "a > 0" into "if a == 0 goto xxx" and the like - several fixes - 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 - Fix kCFI bugs in BPF all forms of indirect calls from BPF into kernel and from kernel into BPF work with CFI enabled. This allows BPF to work with CONFIG_FINEIBT=y - 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 - Support uid/gid options when mounting bpffs - Add a new kfunc which acquires the associated cgroup of a task within a specific cgroup v1 hierarchy where the latter is identified by its id - Extend verifier to allow bpf_refcount_acquire() of a map value field obtained via direct load which is a use-case needed in sched_ext - Add BPF link_info support for uprobe multi link along with bpftool integration for the latter - Support for VLAN tag in XDP hints - Remove deprecated bpfilter kernel leftovers given the project is developed in user-space (https://github.com/facebook/bpfilter) Misc: - Support for parellel TC self-tests execution - Increase MPTCP self-tests coverage - Updated the bridge documentation, including several so-far undocumented features - Convert all the net self-tests to run in unique netns, to avoid random failures due to conflict and allow concurrent runs - Add TCP-AO self-tests - Add kunit tests for both cfg80211 and mac80211 - Autogenerate Netlink families documentation from YAML spec - Add yml-gen support for fixed headers and recursive nests, the tool can now generate user-space code for all genetlink families for which we have specs - A bunch of additional module descriptions fixes - Catch incorrect freeing of pages belonging to a page pool Driver API: - Rust abstractions for network PHY drivers; do not cover yet the full C API, but already allow implementing functional PHY drivers in rust - Introduce queue and NAPI support in the netdev Netlink interface, allowing complete access to the device <> NAPIs <> queues relationship - Introduce notifications filtering for devlink to allow control application scale to thousands of instances - Improve PHY validation, requesting rate matching information for each ethtool link mode supported by both the PHY and host - Add support for ethtool symmetric-xor RSS hash - ACPI based Wifi band RFI (WBRF) mitigation feature for the AMD platform - Expose pin fractional frequency offset value over new DPLL generic netlink attribute - Convert older drivers to platform remove callback returning void - Add support for PHY package MMD read/write New hardware / drivers: - Ethernet: - Octeon CN10K devices - Broadcom 5760X P7 - Qualcomm SM8550 SoC - Texas Instrument DP83TG720S PHY - Bluetooth: - IMC Networks Bluetooth radio Removed: - WiFi: - libertas 16-bit PCMCIA support - Atmel at76c50x drivers - HostAP ISA/PCMCIA style 802.11b driver - zd1201 802.11b USB dongles - Orinoco ISA/PCMCIA 802.11b driver - Aviator/Raytheon driver - Planet WL3501 driver - RNDIS USB 802.11b driver Driver updates: - Ethernet high-speed NICs: - Intel (100G, ice, idpf): - allow one by one port representors creation and removal - add temperature and clock information reporting - add get/set for ethtool's header split ringparam - add again FW logging - adds support switchdev hardware packet mirroring - iavf: implement symmetric-xor RSS hash - igc: add support for concurrent physical and free-running timers - i40e: increase the allowable descriptors - nVidia/Mellanox: - Preparation for Socket-Direct multi-dev netdev.

2023-08-21checkpatch: special case extern struct in .cJim Cromie
"externs should be avoided in .c files" needs an exception for linker symbols, like those that mark the start, stop of many kernel sections. Since checkpatch already checks REALNAME to avoid looking at fragments changing vmlinux.lds.h, add a new else-if block to look at them instead. As a simple heuristic, treat all words (in the patch-line) as possible symbols, to screen later warnings. For my test case, the possible-symbols included BOUNDED_BY (a macro), which is extra, but not troublesome - these are just to screen WARNINGS that might be issued on later fragments (changing .c files) Where the WARN is issued, precede it with an else-if block to catch one common extern-in-c use case: "extern struct foo bar[]". Here we can at least issue a softer warning, after checking for a match with a maybe-linker-symbol parsed earlier from the patch. Though heuristic, it worked for my test-case, allowing both start__, stop__ $symbol's (wo the prefixes specifically named). I've coded it narrowly, it can be expanded later to cover any other expressions. It does require that the externs in .c's have the additions to vmlinux.lds.h in the same patch. And requires vmlinux.lds.h before .c fragments.

When checking if "Reported-by" tag is followed by "Link:", there is no need to print the next line if there is no next line. While at it, also mention in this case that the "Link:" tag should be followed by a URL, similar to the next warning. By doing that, the code is now similar to what is done above when checking if the Co-developed-by tag is properly used.

2023-04-05checkpatch: Error out if deprecated RCU API usedJoel Fernandes (Google)
Single-argument kvfree_rcu() usage is being deprecated [1] [2]. However, till all users are converted, we would like to introduce checkpatch errors for new patches submitted. This patch adds support for the same. Tested with a trial patch. For now, we are only considering usages that don't have compound nesting, for example ignore: kvfree_rcu( (rcu_head_obj), rcu_head_name). This is sufficient as such usages are unlikely. Once all users are converted and we remove the old API, we can also revert this checkpatch patch then.

2023-02-02checkpatch: use proper way for show problematic lineThorsten Leemhuis
Instead of using an unnecessarily complicated approach to print a line that is warned about, use `$herecurr` instead, just like everywhere else in checkpatch. While at it, remove a superfluous space in one of the changed lines, too. In a unmodified line also remove a superfluous check for a space before a signed-off-by tag, to me consistent with the check at the start of the section. All three problems were found by Joe Perches during review of new code inspired by the code modified here.

2023-02-02checkpatch: warn when Reported-by: is not followed by Link:Kai Wasserbäch
Encourage patch authors to link to reports by issuing a warning, if a Reported-by: is not accompanied by a link to the report. Those links are often extremely useful for any code archaeologist that wants to know more about the backstory of a change than the commit message provides. That includes maintainers higher up in the patch-flow hierarchy, which is why Linus asks developers to add such links [1, 2, 3]. To quote [1]: > Again, the commit has a link to the patch *submission*, which is > almost entirely useless. There's no link to the actual problem the > patch fixes. > > [...] > > Put another way: I can see that > > Reported-by: Zhangfei Gao <zhangfei.gao@foxmail.com> > > in the commit, but I don't have a clue what the actual report was, and > there really isn't enough information in the commit itself, except for > a fairly handwavy "Device drivers might, for instance, still need to > flush operations.." > > I don't want to know what device drivers _might_ do. I would want to > have an actual pointer to what they do and where. Another reason why these links are wanted: the ongoing regression tracking efforts can only scale with them, as they allow the regression tracking bot 'regzbot' to automatically connect tracked reports with patches that are posted or committed to fix tracked regressions.

2023-02-02checkpatch: warn when unknown tags are used for linksKai Wasserbäch
Patch series "checkpatch.pl: warn about discouraged tags and missing Link: tags", v4. The first two changes make checkpatch.pl check for a few mistakes wrt to links to bug reports Linus recently complained about a few times. Avoiding those is also important for my regression tracking efforts a lot, as the automated tracking performed by regzbot relies on the proper usage of the Link: tag. The third patch fixes a few small oddities noticed in existing code during review of the two changes. This patch (of 3): Issue a warning when encountering URLs behind unknown tags, as Linus recently stated ```please stop making up random tags that make no sense. Just use "Link:"```[1]. That statement was triggered by an use of 'BugLink', but that's not the only tag people invented: $ git log -100000 --no-merges --format=email -P \ --grep='^\w+:[ ]*http' | grep -Poh '^\w+:[ ]*http' | \ sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head -n 20 103958 Link: http 418 BugLink: http 372 Patchwork: http 280 Closes: http 224 Bug: http 123 References: http 84 Bugzilla: http 61 URL: http 42 v1: http 38 Datasheet: http 20 v2: http 9 Ref: http 9 Fixes: http 9 Buglink: http 8 v3: http 8 Reference: http 7 See: http 6 1: http 5 link: http 3 Link:http Some of these non-standard tags make it harder for external tools that rely on use of proper tags. One of those tools is the regression tracking bot 'regzbot', which looks out for "Link:" tags pointing to reports of tracked regressions. The initial idea was to use a disallow list to raise an error when encountering known unwanted tags like BugLink:; during review it was requested to use a list of allowed tags instead[2].

checkpatch does not point out that VM_BUG_ON() and friends should be avoided, however, Linus notes: VM_BUG_ON() has the exact same semantics as BUG_ON. It is literally no different, the only difference is "we can make the code smaller because these are less important". [1] So let's warn on VM_BUG_ON() and other BUG variants as well. While at it, make it clearer that the kernel really shouldn't be crashed. As there are some subsystem BUG macros that actually don't end up crashing the kernel -- for example, KVM_BUG_ON() -- exclude these manually.
