We (Paolo and I) noticed that in the sending path touching an extra
cacheline due to cq_cached_prod_lock will impact the performance. After
moving the lock from struct xsk_buff_pool to struct xsk_queue, the
performance is increased by ~5% which can be observed by xdpsock.
An alternative approach [1] can be using atomic_try_cmpxchg() to have the
same effect. But unfortunately I don't have evident performance numbers to
prove the atomic approach is better than the current patch. The advantage
is to save the contention time among multiple xsks sharing the same pool
while the disadvantage is losing good maintenance. The full discussion can
be found at the following link.

To enable the cake_mq qdisc to reuse code from the mq qdisc, export a
bunch of functions from sch_mq. Split common functionality out from some
functions so it can be composed with other code, and export other
functions wholesale. To discourage wanton reuse, put the symbols into a
new NET_SCHED_INTERNAL namespace, and a sch_priv.h header file.
No functional change intended.

In blamed commit, I added a check against the temporary queue
built in __dev_xmit_skb(). Idea was to drop packets early,
before any spinlock was acquired.
if (unlikely(defer_count > READ_ONCE(q->limit))) {
kfree_skb_reason(skb, SKB_DROP_REASON_QDISC_DROP);
return NET_XMIT_DROP;
}
It turned out that HTB Qdisc has a zero q->limit.
HTB limits packets on a per-class basis.
Some of our tests became flaky.
Add a new sysctl : net.core.qdisc_max_burst to control
how many packets can be stored in the temporary lockless queue.
Also add a new QDISC_BURST_DROP drop reason to better diagnose
future issues.
Thanks Neal !

RTL8127ATF supports a SFP+ port for fiber modules (10GBASE-SR/LR/ER/ZR and
DAC). The list of supported modes was provided by Realtek. According to the
r8127 vendor driver also 1G modules are supported, but this needs some more
complexity in the driver, and only 10G mode has been tested so far.
Therefore mainline support will be limited to 10G for now.
The SFP port signals are hidden in the chip IP and driven by firmware.
Therefore mainline SFP support can't be used here.
This PHY driver is used by the RTL8127ATF support in r8169.
RTL8127ATF reports the same PHY ID as the TP version. Therefore use a dummy
PHY ID. This PHY driver is used by the RTL8127ATF support in r8169.

Right now, the only way to iterate stations is to declare an
iterator function, possibly data structure to use, and pass all
that to the iteration helper function. This is annoying, and
there's really no inherent need for it.
Add a new for_each_station() macro that does the iteration in
a more ergonomic way. To avoid even more exported functions, do
the old ieee80211_iterate_stations_mtx() as an inline using the
new way, which may also let the compiler optimise it a bit more,
e.g. via inlining the iterator function.

Currently, whenever cfg80211_stop_iface() is called, the entire iface
is stopped. However, there could be a need in AP/P2P_GO mode, where
one would like to stop a single link in MLO operation instead of the
whole MLD interface.
Hence, introduce cfg80211_stop_link() to allow drivers to tear down
only a specified AP/P2P_GO link during MLO operation. Passing -1
preserves the existing behavior of stopping the whole interface. Make
cfg80211_stop_iface() call this function by passing -1 to keep the
default behavior the same, that is, to stop all links and use
cfg80211_stop_link() with the desired link_id for AP/P2P_GO mode, to
stop only that link.
This brings no behavioral change for single-link/non-MLO interfaces,
and enables drivers to stop an AP/P2P_GO link without disrupting other
links on the same interface.

Problem description
-------------------
DSA has a mumbo-jumbo of reference handling of the conduit net device
and its kobject which, sadly, is just wrong and doesn't make sense.
There are two distinct problems.
1. The OF path, which uses of_find_net_device_by_node(), never releases
the elevated refcount on the conduit's kobject. Nominally, the OF and
non-OF paths should result in objects having identical reference
counts taken, and it is already suspicious that
dsa_dev_to_net_device() has a put_device() call which is missing in
dsa_port_parse_of(), but we can actually even verify that an issue
exists. With CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE=y, if we run this command
"before" and "after" applying this patch:
(unbind the conduit driver for net device eno2)
echo 0000:00:00.2 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/fsl_enetc/unbind
we see these lines in the output diff which appear only with the patch
applied:
kobject: 'eno2' (ffff002009a3a6b8): kobject_release, parent 0000000000000000 (delayed 1000)
kobject: '109' (ffff0020099d59a0): kobject_release, parent 0000000000000000 (delayed 1000)
2. After we find the conduit interface one way (OF) or another (non-OF),
it can get unregistered at any time, and DSA remains with a long-lived,
but in this case stale, cpu_dp->conduit pointer. Holding the net
device's underlying kobject isn't actually of much help, it just
prevents it from being freed (but we never need that kobject
directly). What helps us to prevent the net device from being
unregistered is the parallel netdev reference mechanism (dev_hold()
and dev_put()).
Actually we actually use that netdev tracker mechanism implicitly on
user ports since commit 2f1e8ea726 ("net: dsa: link interfaces with
the DSA master to get rid of lockdep warnings"), via netdev_upper_dev_link().
But time still passes at DSA switch probe time between the initial
of_find_net_device_by_node() code and the user port creation time, time
during which the conduit could unregister itself and DSA wouldn't know
about it.
So we have to run of_find_net_device_by_node() under rtnl_lock() to
prevent that from happening, and release the lock only with the netdev
tracker having acquired the reference.
Do we need to keep the reference until dsa_unregister_switch() /
dsa_switch_shutdown()?
1: Maybe yes. A switch device will still be registered even if all user
ports failed to probe, see commit 86f8b1c01a ("net: dsa: Do not
make user port errors fatal"), and the cpu_dp->conduit pointers
remain valid. I haven't audited all call paths to see whether they
will actually use the conduit in lack of any user port, but if they
do, it seems safer to not rely on user ports for that reference.
2. Definitely yes. We support changing the conduit which a user port is
associated to, and we can get into a situation where we've moved all
user ports away from a conduit, thus no longer hold any reference to
it via the net device tracker. But we shouldn't let it go nonetheless
- see the next change in relation to dsa_tree_find_first_conduit()
and LAG conduits which disappear.
We have to be prepared to return to the physical conduit, so the CPU
port must explicitly keep another reference to it. This is also to
say: the user ports and their CPU ports may not always keep a
reference to the same conduit net device, and both are needed.
As for the conduit's kobject for the /sys/class/net/ entry, we don't
care about it, we can release it as soon as we hold the net device
object itself.
History and blame attribution
-----------------------------
The code has been refactored so many times, it is very difficult to
follow and properly attribute a blame, but I'll try to make a short
history which I hope to be correct.
We have two distinct probing paths:
- one for OF, introduced in 2016 in commit 83c0afaec7 ("net: dsa: Add
new binding implementation")
- one for non-OF, introduced in 2017 in commit 71e0bbde0d ("net: dsa:
Add support for platform data")
These are both complete rewrites of the original probing paths (which
used struct dsa_switch_driver and other weird stuff, instead of regular
devices on their respective buses for register access, like MDIO, SPI,
I2C etc):
- one for OF, introduced in 2013 in commit 5e95329b70 ("dsa: add
device tree bindings to register DSA switches")
- one for non-OF, introduced in 2008 in commit 91da11f870 ("net:
Distributed Switch Architecture protocol support")
except for tiny bits and pieces like dsa_dev_to_net_device() which were
seemingly carried over since the original commit, and used to this day.
The point is that the original probing paths received a fix in 2015 in
the form of commit 679fb46c57 ("net: dsa: Add missing master netdev
dev_put() calls"), but the fix never made it into the "new" (dsa2)
probing paths that can still be traced to today, and the fixed probing
path was later deleted in 2019 in commit 93e86b3bc8 ("net: dsa: Remove
legacy probing support").
That is to say, the new probing paths were never quite correct in this
area.
The existence of the legacy probing support which was deleted in 2019
explains why dsa_dev_to_net_device() returns a conduit with elevated
refcount (because it was supposed to be released during
dsa_remove_dst()). After the removal of the legacy code, the only user
of dsa_dev_to_net_device() calls dev_put(conduit) immediately after this
function returns. This pattern makes no sense today, and can only be
interpreted historically to understand why dev_hold() was there in the
first place.
Change details
--------------
Today we have a better netdev tracking infrastructure which we should
use. Logically netdev_hold() belongs in common code
(dsa_port_parse_cpu(), where dp->conduit is assigned), but there is a
tradeoff to be made with the rtnl_lock() section which would become a
bit too long if we did that - dsa_port_parse_cpu() also calls
request_module(). So we duplicate a bit of logic in order for the
callers of dsa_port_parse_cpu() to be the ones responsible of holding
the conduit reference and releasing it on error. This shortens the
rtnl_lock() section significantly.
In the dsa_switch_probe() error path, dsa_switch_release_ports() will be
called in a number of situations, one being where dsa_port_parse_cpu()
maybe didn't get the chance to run at all (a different port failed
earlier, etc). So we have to test for the conduit being NULL prior to
calling netdev_put().
There have still been so many transformations to the code since the
blamed commits (rename master -> conduit, commit 0650bf52b3 ("net:
dsa: be compatible with masters which unregister on shutdown")), that it
only makes sense to fix the code using the best methods available today
and see how it can be backported to stable later. I suspect the fix
cannot even be backported to kernels which lack dsa_switch_shutdown(),
and I suspect this is also maybe why the long-lived conduit reference
didn't make it into the new DSA probing paths at the time (problems
during shutdown).
Because dsa_dev_to_net_device() has a single call site and has to be
changed anyway, the logic was just absorbed into the non-OF
dsa_port_parse().
Tested on the ocelot/felix switch and on dsa_loop, both on the NXP
LS1028A with CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE=y.

Currently nf_tables will traverse the entire table (chain graph), starting
from the entry points (base chains), exploring all possible paths
(chain jumps). But there are cases where we could avoid revalidation.
Consider:
1 input -> j2 -> j3
2 input -> j2 -> j3
3 input -> j1 -> j2 -> j3
Then the second rule does not need to revalidate j2, and, by extension j3,
because this was already checked during validation of the first rule.
We need to validate it only for rule 3.
This is needed because chain loop detection also ensures we do not exceed
the jump stack: Just because we know that j2 is cycle free, its last jump
might now exceed the allowed stack size. We also need to update all
reachable chains with the new largest observed call depth.
Care has to be taken to revalidate even if the chain depth won't be an
issue: chain validation also ensures that expressions are not called from
invalid base chains. For example, the masquerade expression can only be
called from NAT postrouting base chains.
Therefore we also need to keep record of the base chain context (type,
hooknum) and revalidate if the chain becomes reachable from a different
hook location.

We have been seeing occasional deadlocks on pernet_ops_rwsem since
September in NIPA. The stuck task was usually modprobe (often loading
a driver like ipvlan), trying to take the lock as a Writer.
lockdep does not track readers for rwsems so the read wasn't obvious
from the reports.
On closer inspection the Reader holding the lock was conntrack looping
forever in nf_conntrack_cleanup_net_list(). Based on past experience
with occasional NIPA crashes I looked thru the tests which run before
the crash and noticed that the crash follows ip_defrag.sh. An immediate
red flag. Scouring thru (de)fragmentation queues reveals skbs sitting
around, holding conntrack references.
The problem is that since conntrack depends on nf_defrag_ipv6,
nf_defrag_ipv6 will load first. Since nf_defrag_ipv6 loads first its
netns exit hooks run _after_ conntrack's netns exit hook.
Flush all fragment queue SKBs during fqdir_pre_exit() to release
conntrack references before conntrack cleanup runs. Also flush
the queues in timer expiry handlers when they discover fqdir->dead
is set, in case packet sneaks in while we're running the pre_exit
flush.
The commit under Fixes is not exactly the culprit, but I think
previously the timer firing would eventually unblock the spinning
conntrack.

It turns out that HSR offloads are so fine-grained that many DSA
switches can do a small part even though they weren't specifically
designed for the protocols supported by that driver (HSR and PRP).
Specifically NETIF_F_HW_HSR_DUP - it is simple packet duplication on
transmit, towards all (aka 2) ports members of the HSR device.
For many DSA switches, we know how to duplicate a packet, even though we
never typically use that feature. The transmit port mask from the
tagging protocol can have multiple bits set, and the switch should send
the packet once to every port with a bit set from that mask.
Nonetheless, not all tagging protocols are like this, and sometimes the
port is a single numeric value rather than a bit mask. For that reason,
and also because switches can sometimes change tagging protocols for
different ones, we need to make HSR offload helpers opt-in.
For devices that can do nothing else HSR-specific, we introduce
dsa_port_simple_hsr_join() and dsa_port_simple_hsr_leave(). These
functions monitor when two user ports of the same switch are part of the
same HSR device, and when that condition is true, they toggle the
NETIF_F_HW_HSR_DUP feature flag of both net devices.
Normally only dsa_port_simple_hsr_join() and dsa_port_simple_hsr_leave()
are needed. The dsa_port_simple_hsr_validate() helper is just to see
what kind of configuration could be offloadable using the generic
helpers. This is used by switch drivers which are not currently using
the right tagging protocol to offload this HSR ring, but could in
principle offload it after changing the tagger.

Netfilter updates for net-next
The following batch contains Netfilter updates for net-next:
0) Add sanity check for maximum encapsulations in bridge vlan,
reported by the new AI robot.
1) Move the flowtable path discovery code to its own file, the
nft_flow_offload.c mixes the nf_tables evaluation with the path
discovery logic, just split this in two for clarity.
2) Consolidate flowtable xmit path by using dev_queue_xmit() and the
real device behind the layer 2 vlan/pppoe device. This allows to
inline encapsulation. After this update, hw_ifidx can be removed
since both ifidx and hw_ifidx now point to the same device.
3) Support for IPIP encapsulation in the flowtable, extend selftest
to cover for this new layer 3 offload, from Lorenzo Bianconi.
4) Push down the skb into the conncount API to fix duplicates in the
conncount list for packets with non-confirmed conntrack entries,
this is due to an optimization introduced in d265929930
("netfilter: nf_conncount: reduce unnecessary GC").
From Fernando Fernandez Mancera.
5) In conncount, disable BH when performing garbage collection
to consolidate existing behaviour in the conncount API, also
from Fernando.
6) A matching packet with a confirmed conntrack invokes GC if
conncount reaches the limit in an attempt to release slots.
This allows the existing extensions to be used for real conntrack
counting, not just limiting new connections, from Fernando.
7) Support for updating ct count objects in nf_tables, from Fernando.
8) Extend nft_flowtables.sh selftest to send IPv6 TCP traffic,
from Lorenzo Bianconi.
9) Fixes for UAPI kernel-doc documentation, from Randy Dunlap.

When using nf_conncount infrastructure for non-confirmed connections a
duplicated track is possible due to an optimization introduced since
commit d265929930 ("netfilter: nf_conncount: reduce unnecessary GC").
In order to fix this introduce a new conncount API that receives
directly an sk_buff struct. It fetches the tuple and zone and the
corresponding ct from it. It comes with both existing conncount variants
nf_conncount_count_skb() and nf_conncount_add_skb(). In addition remove
the old API and adjust all the users to use the new one.
This way, for each sk_buff struct it is possible to check if there is a
ct present and already confirmed. If so, skip the add operation.

Introduce sw acceleration for rx path of IPIP tunnels relying on the
netfilter flowtable infrastructure. Subsequent patches will add sw
acceleration for IPIP tunnels tx path.
This series introduces basic infrastructure to accelerate other tunnel
types (e.g. IP6IP6).
IPIP rx sw acceleration can be tested running the following scenario where
the traffic is forwarded between two NICs (eth0 and eth1) and an IPIP
tunnel is used to access a remote site (using eth1 as the underlay device):
ETH0 -- TUN0 <==> ETH1 -- [IP network] -- TUN1 (192.168.100.2)
$ip addr show
6: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000

}

results:

hw_ifidx was originally introduced to store the real netdevice as a
requirement for the hardware offload support in:
73f97025a9 ("netfilter: nft_flow_offload: use direct xmit if hardware offload is enabled")
Since ("netfilter: flowtable: consolidate xmit path"), ifidx and
hw_ifidx points to the real device in the xmit path, remove it.

Use dev_queue_xmit() for the XMIT_NEIGH case. Store the interface index
of the real device behind the vlan/pppoe device, this introduces an
extra lookup for the real device in the xmit path because rt->dst.dev
provides the vlan/pppoe device.
XMIT_NEIGH now looks more similar to XMIT_DIRECT but the check for stale
dst and the neighbour lookup still remain in place which is convenient
to deal with network topology changes.
Note that nft_flow_route() needs to relax the check for _XMIT_NEIGH so
the existing basic xfrm offload (which only works in one direction) does
not break.

This file contains the path discovery that is run from the forward chain
for the packet offloading the flow into the flowtable. This consists
of a series of calls to dev_fill_forward_path() for each device stack.
More topologies may be supported in the future, so move this code to its
own file to separate it from the nftables flow_offload expression.

Some qdisc like cake, codel, fq_codel might drop packets
in their dequeue() method.
This is currently problematic because dequeue() runs with
the qdisc spinlock held. Freeing skbs can be extremely expensive.
Add qdisc_dequeue_drop() method and a new TCQ_F_DEQUEUE_DROPS
so that these qdiscs can opt-in to defer the skb frees
after the socket spinlock is released.
TCQ_F_DEQUEUE_DROPS is an attempt to not penalize other qdiscs
with an extra cache line miss.
