Currently some IPv6 tunnel drivers set tnl->net to dev_net(dev) in
ndo_init(), which is called in register_netdevice(). However, it lacks
the context of link-netns when we enable cross-net tunnels at device
registration time.
Let's move the init of tunnel link-netns before register_netdevice().
ip6_gre has already initialized netns, so just remove the redundant
assignment.

When link_net is set, use it as link netns instead of dev_net(). This
prepares for rtnetlink core to create device in target netns directly,
in which case the two namespaces may be different.
Convert common ip_tunnel_newlink() to accept an extra link netns

Device denoted by IFLA_LINK is in link_net (IFLA_LINK_NETNSID) or
source netns by design, but 6lowpan uses dev_net.
Note dev->netns_local is set to true and currently link_net is
implemented via a netns change. These together effectively reject
IFLA_LINK_NETNSID.
This patch adds a validation to ensure link_net is either NULL or
identical to dev_net. Thus it would be fine to continue using dev_net
when rtnetlink core begins to create devices directly in target netns.

There are 4 net namespaces involved when creating links:
- source netns - where the netlink socket resides,
- target netns - where to put the device being created,
- link netns - netns associated with the device (backend),
- peer netns - netns of peer device.
Currently, two nets are passed to newlink() callback - "src_net"
parameter and "dev_net" (implicitly in net_device). They are set as
follows, depending on netlink attributes in the request.
+------------+-------------------+---------+---------+
| peer netns | IFLA_LINK_NETNSID | src_net | dev_net |
+------------+-------------------+---------+---------+
| | absent | source | target |
| absent +-------------------+---------+---------+
| | present | link | link |
+------------+-------------------+---------+---------+
| | absent | peer | target |
| present +-------------------+---------+---------+
| | present | peer | link |
+------------+-------------------+---------+---------+
When IFLA_LINK_NETNSID is present, the device is created in link netns
first and then moved to target netns. This has some side effects,
including extra ifindex allocation, ifname validation and link events.
These could be avoided if we create it in target netns from
the beginning.
On the other hand, the meaning of src_net parameter is ambiguous. It
varies depending on how parameters are passed. It is the effective
link (or peer netns) by design, but some drivers ignore it and use
dev_net instead.
To provide more netns context for drivers, this patch packs existing
newlink() parameters, along with the source netns, link netns and peer
netns, into a struct. The old "src_net" is renamed to "net" to avoid
confusion with real source netns, and will be deprecated later. The use
of src_net are converted to params->net trivially.

we spawned to be ready. Not all processes will open listening
sockets. Add a method of explicitly waiting for a child to

to write a message to us. FD number is passed via KSFT_READY_FD
env variable.
Similarly use KSFT_WAIT_FD to let the child process for a sign
that we are done and child should exit. Sending a signal to
a child with shell=True can get tricky.
Make use of this method in the queues test to make it less flaky.

The function ext_requested() serves two distinct purposes: it checks
if extended link modes were requested, and it selects whether to use
extended or legacy link modes.
This change separates these two purposes. Now, ext_link_mode_requested()
is used directly for checking if extended link modes are requested,
while the selection of extended modes is handled independently based on
the autonegotiation status.
By making this distinction, the logic for determining whether to select
extended or legacy link modes is clearer.

To eliminate this redundancy, we update mlx5e_ethtool_get_speed_arr()

This allows us to replace the current logic in ptys2ethtool_adver_link()

kzalloc() uses page allocator when size is larger than
KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE, so the intention of commit ab101c553b
("neighbour: use kvzalloc()/kvfree()") can be achieved by using kzalloc().
When using GFP_ATOMIC, kvzalloc() only tries the kmalloc path,
since the vmalloc path does not support the flag.
In this case, kvzalloc() is equivalent to kzalloc() in that neither try
the vmalloc path, so this replacement brings no functional change.
This is primarily a cleanup change, as the original code functions
correctly.
This patch replaces kvzalloc() introduced by commit 41b3caa7c0
("neighbour: Add hlist_node to struct neighbour"), which is called in
the same context and with the same gfp flag as the aforementioned commit
ab101c553b ("neighbour: use kvzalloc()/kvfree()").

Some pktgen fixes/improvments (part I)
While taking a look at '[PATCH net] pktgen: Avoid out-of-range in
get_imix_entries' ([1]) and '[PATCH net v2] pktgen: Avoid out-of-bounds
access in get_imix_entries' ([2], [3]) and doing some tests and code review
I detected that the /proc/net/pktgen/... parsing logic does not honour the
user given buffer bounds (resulting in out-of-bounds access).
This can be observed e.g. by the following simple test (sometimes the
old/'longer' previous value is re-read from the buffer):
$ echo add_device lo@0 > /proc/net/pktgen/kpktgend_0
$ echo "min_pkt_size 12345" > /proc/net/pktgen/lo\@0 && grep min_pkt_size /proc/net/pktgen/lo\@0
Params: count 1000 min_pkt_size: 12345 max_pkt_size: 0
Result: OK: min_pkt_size=12345
$ echo -n "min_pkt_size 123" > /proc/net/pktgen/lo\@0 && grep min_pkt_size /proc/net/pktgen/lo\@0
Params: count 1000 min_pkt_size: 12345 max_pkt_size: 0
Result: OK: min_pkt_size=12345
$ echo "min_pkt_size 123" > /proc/net/pktgen/lo\@0 && grep min_pkt_size /proc/net/pktgen/lo\@0
Params: count 1000 min_pkt_size: 123 max_pkt_size: 0
Result: OK: min_pkt_size=123
So fix the out-of-bounds access (and some minor findings) and add a simple
proc_net_pktgen selftest...

Add ethtool support to configure the IRQ coalescing behavior. Support
separate timers for Rx and Tx for time based coalescing. For frame based
configuration, currently we only support the Rx side.
The hardware allows configuration of descriptor count instead of frame
count requiring conversion between the two. We assume 2 descriptors
per frame, one for the metadata and one for the data segment.
When rx-frames are not configured, we set the RX descriptor count to
half the ring size as a fail safe.
Default configuration:
ethtool -c eth0 | grep -E "rx-usecs:|tx-usecs:|rx-frames:"
rx-usecs: 30
rx-frames: 0
tx-usecs: 35

With single iperf flow we monitor IRQ rate while changing the tx-usesc and

tun simply advances iov_iter when it needs to pad virtio header,
which leaves the garbage in the buffer as is. This will become
especially problematic when tun starts to allow enabling the hash
reporting feature; even if the feature is enabled, the packet may lack a
hash value and may contain a hole in the virtio header because the
packet arrived before the feature gets enabled or does not contain the
header fields to be hashed. If the hole is not filled with zero, it is
impossible to tell if the packet lacks a hash value.
In theory, a user of tun can fill the buffer with zero before calling
read() to avoid such a problem, but leaving the garbage in the buffer is
awkward anyway so replace advancing the iterator with writing zeros.
A user might have initialized the buffer to some non-zero value,
expecting tun to skip writing it. As this was never a documented
feature, this seems unlikely.
The overhead of filling the hole in the header is negligible when the
header size is specified according to the specification as doing so will
not make another cache line dirty under a reasonable assumption. Below
is a proof of this statement:
The first 10 bytes of the header is always written and tun also writes
the packet itself immediately after the packet unless the packet is
empty. This makes a hole between these writes whose size is: sz - 10
where sz is the specified header size.
Therefore, we will never make another cache line dirty when:
sz < L1_CACHE_BYTES + 10
where L1_CACHE_BYTES is the cache line size. Assuming
L1_CACHE_BYTES >= 16, this inequation holds when: sz < 26.
sz <= 20 according to the current specification so we even have a
margin of 5 bytes in case that the header size grows in a future version
of the specification.

The netdevsim driver was experiencing NOHZ tick-stop errors during packet
transmission due to pending softirq work when calling napi_schedule().
This issue was observed when running the netconsole selftest, which
triggered the following error message:
NOHZ tick-stop error: local softirq work is pending, handler #08!!!
To fix this issue, introduce a timer that schedules napi_schedule()
from a timer context instead of calling it directly from the TX path.
Create an hrtimer for each queue and kick it from the TX path,
which then schedules napi_schedule() from the timer context.
