The introduction of IPPROTO_SMC enables eBPF programs to determine
whether to use SMC based on the context of socket creation, such as
network namespaces, PID and comm name, etc.
As a subsequent enhancement, to introduce a new generic hook that
allows decisions on whether to use SMC or not at runtime, including
but not limited to local/remote IP address or ports.
User can write their own implememtion via bpf_struct_ops now to choose
whether to use SMC or not before TCP 3rd handshake to be comleted.

TCP SACK compression has been added in 2018 in commit
5d9f4262b7 ("tcp: add SACK compression").
It is working great for WAN flows (with large RTT).
Wifi in particular gets a significant boost _when_ ACK are suppressed.
Add a new sysctl so that we can tune the very conservative 5 % value
that has been used so far in this formula, so that small RTT flows
can benefit from this feature.
delay = min ( 5 % of RTT, 1 ms)
This patch adds new tcp_comp_sack_rtt_percent sysctl
to ease experiments and tuning.
Given that we cap the delay to 1ms (tcp_comp_sack_delay_ns sysctl),
set the default value to 33 %.
Quoting Neal Cardwell ( https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/CADVnQymZ1tFnEA1Q=vtECs0=Db7zHQ8=+WCQtnhHFVbEOzjVnQ@mail.gmail.com/ )
The rationale for 33% is basically to try to facilitate pipelining,
where there are always at least 3 ACKs and 3 GSO/TSO skbs per SRTT, so
that the path can maintain a budget for 3 full-sized GSO/TSO skbs "in
flight" at all times:
+ 1 skb in the qdisc waiting to be sent by the NIC next
+ 1 skb being sent by the NIC (being serialized by the NIC out onto the wire)
+ 1 skb being received and aggregated by the receiver machine's
aggregation mechanism (some combination of LRO, GRO, and sack
compression)
Note that this is basically the same magic number (3) and the same
rationales as:
(a) tcp_tso_should_defer() ensuring that we defer sending data for no
longer than cwnd/tcp_tso_win_divisor (where tcp_tso_win_divisor = 3),
and
(b) bbr_quantization_budget() ensuring that cwnd is at least 3 GSO/TSO
skbs to maintain pipelining and full throughput at low RTTs

Since commit 54a378f434 ("tcp: add the ability to control
max RTO"), TFO SYN+ACK RTO is capped by the TFO full sk's
inet_csk(sk)->icsk_rto_max.
The value is inherited from the parent listener.
Let's apply the same cap to non-TFO SYN+ACK.
Note that req->rsk_listener is always non-NULL when we call
tcp_reqsk_timeout() in reqsk_timer_handler() or tcp_check_req().
It could be NULL for SYN cookie req, but we do not use

- Split cq_lock into two smaller locks: cq_prod_lock and
cq_cached_prod_lock
- Avoid disabling/enabling interrupts in the hot xmit path
In either xsk_cq_cancel_locked() or xsk_cq_reserve_locked() function,
the race condition is only between multiple xsks sharing the same
pool. They are all in the process context rather than interrupt context,
so now the small lock named cq_cached_prod_lock can be used without
handling interrupts.
While cq_cached_prod_lock ensures the exclusive modification of
@cached_prod, cq_prod_lock in xsk_cq_submit_addr_locked() only cares
about @producer and corresponding @desc. Both of them don't necessarily
be consistent with @cached_prod protected by cq_cached_prod_lock.
That's the reason why the previous big lock can be split into two
smaller ones. Please note that SPSC rule is all about the global state
of producer and consumer that can affect both layers instead of local
or cached ones.
Frequently disabling and enabling interrupt are very time consuming
in some cases, especially in a per-descriptor granularity, which now
can be avoided after this optimization, even when the pool is shared by
multiple xsks.
With this patch, the performance number[1] could go from 1,872,565 pps
to 1,961,009 pps. It's a minor rise of around 5%.

Handle the NIC hardware link state events received from the HW
channel, then set the proper link state accordingly.
And, add a feature bit, GDMA_DRV_CAP_FLAG_1_HW_VPORT_LINK_AWARE,
to inform the NIC hardware this handler exists.
Our MANA NIC only sends out the link state down/up messages
when we need to let the VM rerun DHCP client and change IP
address. So, add netif_carrier_on() in the probe(), let the NIC
show the right initial state in /sys/class/net/ethX/operstate.

In the parse_adv_monitor_pattern() function, the value of
the 'length' variable is currently limited to HCI_MAX_EXT_AD_LENGTH(251).
The size of the 'value' array in the mgmt_adv_pattern structure is 31.
If the value of 'pattern[i].length' is set in the user space
and exceeds 31, the 'patterns[i].value' array can be accessed
out of bound when copied.
Increasing the size of the 'value' array in
the 'mgmt_adv_pattern' structure will break the userspace.
Considering this, and to avoid OOB access revert the limits for 'offset'
and 'length' back to the value of HCI_MAX_AD_LENGTH.

Think SMC_WR_BUF_CNT_SEND := SMC_WR_BUF_CNT used in send context and
SMC_WR_BUF_CNT_RECV := 3 * SMC_WR_BUF_CNT used in recv context. Those
get replaced with lgr->max_send_wr and lgr->max_recv_wr respective.
Please note that although with the default sysctl values
qp_attr.cap.max_send_wr == qp_attr.cap.max_recv_wr is maintained but
can not be assumed to be generally true any more. I see no downside to

When a netdev issues a RX async resync request for a TLS connection,
the TLS module handles it by logging record headers and attempting to
match them to the tcp_sn provided by the device. If a match is found,
the TLS module approves the tcp_sn for resynchronization.
While waiting for a device response, the TLS module also increments
rcd_delta each time a new TLS record is received, tracking the distance
from the original resync request.
However, if the device response is delayed or fails (e.g due to
unstable connection and device getting out of tracking, hardware
errors, resource exhaustion etc.), the TLS module keeps logging and
incrementing, which can lead to a WARN() when rcd_delta exceeds the
threshold.
To address this, introduce tls_offload_rx_resync_async_request_cancel()
to explicitly cancel resync requests when a device response failure is
detected. Call this helper also as a final safeguard when rcd_delta
crosses its threshold, as reaching this point implies that earlier
cancellation did not occur.

Add the ability to append the incoming IP interface information to
ICMPv6 error messages in accordance with RFC 5837 and RFC 4884. This is
required for more meaningful traceroute results in unnumbered networks.
The feature is disabled by default and controlled via a new sysctl
("net.ipv6.icmp.errors_extension_mask") which accepts a bitmask of ICMP
extensions to append to ICMP error messages. Currently, only a single
value is supported, but the interface and the implementation should be
able to support more extensions, if needed.
Clone the skb and copy the relevant data portions before modifying the
skb as the caller of icmp6_send() still owns the skb after the function
returns. This should be fine since by default ICMP error messages are
rate limited to 1000 per second and no more than 1 per second per
specific host.
Trim or pad the packet to 128 bytes before appending the ICMP extension
structure in order to be compatible with legacy applications that assume
that the ICMP extension structure always starts at this offset (the
minimum length specified by RFC 4884).
Since commit 20e1954fe2 ("ipv6: RFC 4884 partial support for SIT/GRE
tunnels") it is possible for icmp6_send() to be called with an skb that
already contains ICMP extensions. This can happen when we receive an
ICMPv4 message with extensions from a tunnel and translate it to an
ICMPv6 message towards an IPv6 host in the overlay network. I could not
find an RFC that supports this behavior, but it makes sense to not
overwrite the original extensions that were appended to the packet.
Therefore, avoid appending extensions if the length field in the
provided ICMPv6 header is already filled.
Export netdev_copy_name() using EXPORT_IPV6_MOD_GPL() to make it
available to IPv6 when it is built as a module.

After commit f3d85c9ee5 ("netmem: introduce struct netmem_desc
mirroring struct page") this approach became unnecessary by placing the
net_iov_type after the netmem_desc. Placing the net_iov_type after
netmem_desc results in the net_iov_type size having no effect on the
position or layout of the fields that mirror the struct page.
The layout before this patch:
struct net_iov {
union {
struct netmem_desc desc; /* 0 48 */
struct {
long unsigned int _flags; /* 0 8 */
long unsigned int pp_magic; /* 8 8 */
struct page_pool * pp; /* 16 8 */
long unsigned int _pp_mapping_pad; /* 24 8 */
long unsigned int dma_addr; /* 32 8 */
atomic_long_t pp_ref_count; /* 40 8 */
}; /* 0 48 */
}; /* 0 48 */
struct net_iov_area * owner; /* 48 8 */
enum net_iov_type type; /* 56 8 */
/* size: 64, cachelines: 1, members: 3 */
};
The layout after this patch:
struct net_iov {
union {
struct netmem_desc desc; /* 0 48 */
struct {
long unsigned int _flags; /* 0 8 */
long unsigned int pp_magic; /* 8 8 */
struct page_pool * pp; /* 16 8 */
long unsigned int _pp_mapping_pad; /* 24 8 */
long unsigned int dma_addr; /* 32 8 */
atomic_long_t pp_ref_count; /* 40 8 */
}; /* 0 48 */
}; /* 0 48 */
struct net_iov_area * owner; /* 48 8 */
enum net_iov_type type; /* 56 4 */
/* size: 64, cachelines: 1, members: 3 */
/* padding: 4 */
};

The normal timer mechanism assume that timeout further in the future
need a lower accuracy. As an example, the granularity for a timer
scheduled 4096 ms in the future on a 1000 Hz system is already 512 ms.
This granularity is perfectly sufficient for e.g. timeouts, but there
are other types of events that will happen at a future point in time and
require a higher accuracy.
Add a new wiphy_hrtimer_work type that uses an hrtimer internally. The
API is almost identical to the existing wiphy_delayed_work and it can be
used as a drop-in replacement after minor adjustments. The work will be
scheduled relative to the current time with a slack of 1 millisecond.
