Not all the devices have the capability for the driver to query for the
registered RSS configuration. The driver can discover this by checking
the relevant device option during setup. If it cannot, the driver needs
to store the RSS config cache and directly return such cache when
queried by the ethtool. RSS config is inited when driver probes. Also the
default RSS config will be adjusted when there is RX queue count change.
At this point, only keys of GVE_RSS_KEY_SIZE and indirection tables of
GVE_RSS_INDIR_SIZE are supported.

- Add test for creating link in another netns when a link of the same
name and ifindex exists in current netns.
- Add test to verify that link is created in target netns directly -
no link new/del events should be generated in link netns or current
netns.
- Add test cases to verify that link-netns is set as expected for
various drivers and combination of namespace-related parameters.

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.

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
be ready. Pass a FD to the spawned process and wait for it
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)

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

proc_net_pktgen selftest...

====================
xsk: TX metadata Launch Time support
This series expands the XDP TX metadata framework to allow user
applications to pass per packet 64-bit launch time directly to the kernel
driver, requesting launch time hardware offload support. The XDP TX
metadata framework will not perform any clock conversion or packet
reordering.
Please note that the role of Tx metadata is just to pass the launch time,
not to enable the offload feature. Users will need to enable the launch
time hardware offload feature of the device by using the respective
command, such as the tc-etf command.
Although some devices use the tc-etf command to enable their launch time
hardware offload feature, xsk packets will not go through the etf qdisc.
Therefore, in my opinion, the launch time should always be based on the PTP
Hardware Clock (PHC). Thus, i did not include a clock ID to indicate the
clock source.
To simplify the test steps, I modified the xdp_hw_metadata bpf self-test
tool in such a way that it will set the launch time based on the offset
provided by the user and the value of the Receive Hardware Timestamp, which
is against the PHC. This will eliminate the need to discipline System Clock
with the PHC and then use clock_gettime() to get the time.
Please note that AF_XDP lacks a feedback mechanism to inform the
application if the requested launch time is invalid. So, users are expected
to familiar with the horizon of the launch time of the device they use and
not request a launch time that is beyond the horizon. Otherwise, the driver
might interpret the launch time incorrectly and react wrongly. For stmmac
and igc, where modulo computation is used, a launch time larger than the
horizon will cause the device to transmit the packet earlier that the
requested launch time.
Although there is no feedback mechanism for the launch time request
for now, user still can check whether the requested launch time is
working or not, by requesting the Transmit Completion Hardware Timestamp.
