Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core:

   - bpf:
        - allow bpf programs calling kernel functions (initially to
          reuse TCP congestion control implementations)
        - enable task local storage for tracing programs - remove the
          need to store per-task state in hash maps, and allow tracing
          programs access to task local storage previously added for
          BPF_LSM
        - add bpf_for_each_map_elem() helper, allowing programs to walk
          all map elements in a more robust and easier to verify fashion
        - sockmap: support UDP and cross-protocol BPF_SK_SKB_VERDICT
          redirection
        - lpm: add support for batched ops in LPM trie
        - add BTF_KIND_FLOAT support - mostly to allow use of BTF on
          s390 which has floats in its headers files
        - improve BPF syscall documentation and extend the use of kdoc
          parsing scripts we already employ for bpf-helpers
        - libbpf, bpftool: support static linking of BPF ELF files
        - improve support for encapsulation of L2 packets

   - xdp: restructure redirect actions to avoid a runtime lookup,
     improving performance by 4-8% in microbenchmarks

   - xsk: build skb by page (aka generic zerocopy xmit) - improve
     performance of software AF_XDP path by 33% for devices which don't
     need headers in the linear skb part (e.g. virtio)

   - nexthop: resilient next-hop groups - improve path stability on
     next-hops group changes (incl. offload for mlxsw)

   - ipv6: segment routing: add support for IPv4 decapsulation

   - icmp: add support for RFC 8335 extended PROBE messages

   - inet: use bigger hash table for IP ID generation

   - tcp: deal better with delayed TX completions - make sure we don't
     give up on fast TCP retransmissions only because driver is slow in
     reporting that it completed transmitting the original

   - tcp: reorder tcp_congestion_ops for better cache locality

   - mptcp:
        - add sockopt support for common TCP options
        - add support for common TCP msg flags
        - include multiple address ids in RM_ADDR
        - add reset option support for resetting one subflow

   - udp: GRO L4 improvements - improve 'forward' / 'frag_list'
     co-existence with UDP tunnel GRO, allowing the first to take place
     correctly even for encapsulated UDP traffic

   - micro-optimize dev_gro_receive() and flow dissection, avoid
     retpoline overhead on VLAN and TEB GRO

   - use less memory for sysctls, add a new sysctl type, to allow using
     u8 instead of "int" and "long" and shrink networking sysctls

   - veth: allow GRO without XDP - this allows aggregating UDP packets
     before handing them off to routing, bridge, OvS, etc.

   - allow specifing ifindex when device is moved to another namespace

   - netfilter:
        - nft_socket: add support for cgroupsv2
        - nftables: add catch-all set element - special element used to
          define a default action in case normal lookup missed
        - use net_generic infra in many modules to avoid allocating
          per-ns memory unnecessarily

   - xps: improve the xps handling to avoid potential out-of-bound
     accesses and use-after-free when XPS change race with other
     re-configuration under traffic

   - add a config knob to turn off per-cpu netdev refcnt to catch
     underflows in testing

  Device APIs:

   - add WWAN subsystem to organize the WWAN interfaces better and
     hopefully start driving towards more unified and vendor-
     independent APIs

   - ethtool:
        - add interface for reading IEEE MIB stats (incl. mlx5 and bnxt
          support)
        - allow network drivers to dump arbitrary SFP EEPROM data,
          current offset+length API was a poor fit for modern SFP which
          define EEPROM in terms of pages (incl. mlx5 support)

   - act_police, flow_offload: add support for packet-per-second
     policing (incl. offload for nfp)

   - psample: add additional metadata attributes like transit delay for
     packets sampled from switch HW (and corresponding egress and
     policy-based sampling in the mlxsw driver)

   - dsa: improve support for sandwiched LAGs with bridge and DSA

   - netfilter:
        - flowtable: use direct xmit in topologies with IP forwarding,
          bridging, vlans etc.
        - nftables: counter hardware offload support

   - Bluetooth:
        - improvements for firmware download w/ Intel devices
        - add support for reading AOSP vendor capabilities
        - add support for virtio transport driver

   - mac80211:
        - allow concurrent monitor iface and ethernet rx decap
        - set priority and queue mapping for injected frames

   - phy: add support for Clause-45 PHY Loopback

   - pci/iov: add sysfs MSI-X vector assignment interface to distribute
     MSI-X resources to VFs (incl. mlx5 support)

  New hardware/drivers:

   - dsa: mv88e6xxx: add support for Marvell mv88e6393x - 11-port
     Ethernet switch with 8x 1-Gigabit Ethernet and 3x 10-Gigabit

   - virtio:
        - page_to_skb() use build_skb when there's sufficient tailroom
          (21% improvement for 1000B UDP frames)
        - support XDP even without dedicated Tx queues - share the Tx
          queues with the stack when necessary

   - mlx5:
        - flow rules: add support for mirroring with conntrack, matching
          on ICMP, GTP, flex filters and more
        - support packet sampling with flow offloads
        - persist uplink representor netdev across eswitch mode changes
        - allow coexistence of CQE compression and HW time-stamping

<content type='text'>
On s390 each PCI device has a user-defined ID (UID) exposed under
/sys/bus/pci/devices/&lt;dev&gt;/uid. This ID was designed to serve as the PCI
device's primary index and to match the device within Linux to the
device configured in the hypervisor. To serve as a primary identifier
the UID must be unique within the Linux instance, this is guaranteed by
the platform if and only if the UID Uniqueness Checking flag is set
within the CLP List PCI Functions response.

In this sense the UID serves an analogous function as the SMBIOS
instance number or ACPI index exposed as the "index" respectively
"acpi_index" device attributes and used by e.g. systemd to set interface
names. As s390 does not use and will likely never use ACPI nor SMBIOS
there is no conflict and we can just expose the UID under the "index"
attribute whenever UID Uniqueness Checking is active and get systemd's
interface naming support for free.

<title>PCI/IOV: Add sysfs MSI-X vector assignment interface</title>
<updated>2021-04-04T07:26:30+00:00</updated>

<name>Leon Romanovsky</name>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=c3d5c2d96d69f2578d6fbf66e39cc2cf840d9812'/>
<id>c3d5c2d96d69f2578d6fbf66e39cc2cf840d9812</id>
<content type='text'>
A typical cloud provider SR-IOV use case is to create many VFs for use by
guest VMs. The VFs may not be assigned to a VM until a customer requests a
VM of a certain size, e.g., number of CPUs. A VF may need MSI-X vectors
proportional to the number of CPUs in the VM, but there is no standard way
to change the number of MSI-X vectors supported by a VF.

Some Mellanox ConnectX devices support dynamic assignment of MSI-X vectors
to SR-IOV VFs. This can be done by the PF driver after VFs are enabled,
and it can be done without affecting VFs that are already in use. The
hardware supports a limited pool of MSI-X vectors that can be assigned to
the PF or to individual VFs.  This is device-specific behavior that
requires support in the PF driver.

Add a read-only "sriov_vf_total_msix" sysfs file for the PF and a writable
"sriov_vf_msix_count" file for each VF. Management software may use these
to learn how many MSI-X vectors are available and to dynamically assign
them to VFs before the VFs are passed through to a VM.

If the PF driver implements the -&gt;sriov_get_vf_total_msix() callback,
"sriov_vf_total_msix" contains the total number of MSI-X vectors available
for distribution among VFs.

If no driver is bound to the VF, writing "N" to "sriov_vf_msix_count" uses
the PF driver -&gt;sriov_set_msix_vec_count() callback to assign "N" MSI-X
vectors to the VF.  When a VF driver subsequently reads the MSI-X Message
Control register, it will see the new Table Size "N".

<title>PCI: Add sysfs attribute for device power state</title>

<content type='text'>
While PCI power states D0-D3hot can be queried from user-space via lspci,
D3cold cannot.  lspci cannot provide an accurate value when the device is
in D3cold as it has to restore the device to D0 before it can access its
power state via the configuration space, leading to it reporting D0 or
another on-state. Thus lspci cannot be used to diagnose power consumption
issues for devices that can enter D3cold or to ensure that devices properly
enter D3cold at all.

Add a new sysfs device attribute for the PCI power state, showing the
current power state as seen by the kernel.

There are some ABI documents that, while they don't generate
any warnings, they have issues when parsed by get_abi.pl script
on its output result.

Address them, in order to provide a clean output.

<title>PCI/ASPM: Add sysfs attributes for controlling ASPM link states</title>

<id>72ea91afbfb08619696ccde610ee4d0d29cf4a1d</id>
<content type='text'>
Add sysfs attributes to Endpoints and other Upstream Ports to control ASPM,
Clock PM, and L1 PM Substates.  The new attributes are:

  /sys/devices/pci*/.../link/clkpm
  /sys/devices/pci*/.../link/l0s_aspm
  /sys/devices/pci*/.../link/l1_aspm
  /sys/devices/pci*/.../link/l1_1_aspm
  /sys/devices/pci*/.../link/l1_2_aspm
  /sys/devices/pci*/.../link/l1_1_pcipm
  /sys/devices/pci*/.../link/l1_2_pcipm

An attribute is only visible if both ends of the Link leading to the device
support the state.  Writing y/1/on to the file enables the state; n/0/off
disables it.

These attributes can be used to tune the power/performance tradeoff for
individual devices.

Sometimes it is not desirable to bind SR-IOV VFs to drivers.  This can save
host side resource usage by VF instances that will be assigned to VMs.

Add a new PCI sysfs interface "sriov_drivers_autoprobe" to control that
from the PF.  To modify it, echo 0/n/N (disable probe) or 1/y/Y (enable
probe) to:

  /sys/bus/pci/devices/&lt;DOMAIN:BUS:DEVICE.FUNCTION&gt;/sriov_drivers_autoprobe

Note that this must be done before enabling VFs.  The change will not take
effect if VFs are already enabled.  Simply, one can disable VFs by setting
sriov_numvfs to 0, choose whether to probe or not, and then re-enable the
VFs by restoring sriov_numvfs.
