[ Upstream commit 9f9581ba74a931843c6d807ecfeaff9fb8c1b731 ]

While updating the binary min-len implementation, I noticed that
the only user, should AFAICT be using exact-len instead.

In net/ipv4/fou_core.c FOU_ATTR_LOCAL_V6 and FOU_ATTR_PEER_V6
are only used for singular IPv6 addresses, and there are AFAICT
no known implementations trying to send more, it therefore
appears safe to change it to an exact-len policy.

This patch therefore changes the local-v6/peer-v6 attributes to
use an exact-len check, instead of a min-len check.

[ Upstream commit 520ad9e96937e825a117e9f00dd35a3e199d67b5 ]

The dpll.yaml spec incorrectly omitted module-name and clock-id from the
pin-get operation reply specification, even though the kernel DPLL
implementation has always included these attributes in pin-get responses
since the initial implementation.

This spec inconsistency caused issues with the C YNL code generator.
The generated dpll_pin_get_rsp structure was missing these fields.

Fix the spec by adding module-name and clock-id to the pin-attrs reply
specification to match the actual kernel behavior.

I'm trying to generate Rust bindings for netlink using the yaml spec.

It looks like there's a typo in conntrack spec: attribute set conntrack-attrs
defines attributes "counters-{orig,reply}" (plural), while get operation
references "counter-{orig,reply}" (singular). The latter should be fixed, as it
denotes multiple counters (packet and byte). The corresonding C define is
CTA_COUNTERS_ORIG.

Also, dump request references "nfgen-family" attribute, which neither exists in
conntrack-attrs attrset nor ctattr_type enum. There's member of nfgenmsg struct
with the same name, which is where family value is actually taken from.

&gt; static int ctnetlink_dump_exp_ct(struct net *net, struct sock *ctnl,
&gt;                struct sk_buff *skb,
&gt;                const struct nlmsghdr *nlh,
&gt;                const struct nlattr * const cda[],
&gt;                struct netlink_ext_ack *extack)
&gt; {
&gt;   int err;
&gt;   struct nfgenmsg *nfmsg = nlmsg_data(nlh);
&gt;   u_int8_t u3 = nfmsg-&gt;nfgen_family;
                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^

During the connection establishment, a peer can tell the other one that
it cannot establish new subflows to the initial IP address and port by
setting the 'C' flag [1]. Doing so makes sense when the sender is behind
a strict NAT, operating behind a legacy Layer 4 load balancer, or using
anycast IP address for example.

When this 'C' flag is set, the path-managers must then not try to
establish new subflows to the other peer's initial IP address and port.
The in-kernel PM has access to this info, but the userspace PM didn't.

The RFC8684 [1] is strict about that:

  (...) therefore the receiver MUST NOT try to open any additional
  subflows toward this address and port.

So it is important to tell the userspace about that as it is responsible
for the respect of this flag.

When a new connection is created and established, the Netlink events
now contain the existing but not currently used 'flags' attribute. When
MPTCP_PM_EV_FLAG_DENY_JOIN_ID0 is set, it means no other subflows
to the initial IP address and port -- info that are also part of the
event -- can be established.

This attribute is used as a signed number in the code in pm_netlink.c:

  nla_put_s32(skb, MPTCP_ATTR_IF_IDX, ssk-&gt;sk_bound_dev_if))

The specs should then reflect that. Note that other 'if-idx' attributes
from the same .yaml file use a signed number as well.

The devlink_nl_rate_tc_bw_parse function uses a large stack array for
devlink attributes, which triggers a warning about excessive stack
usage:

net/devlink/rate.c: In function 'devlink_nl_rate_tc_bw_parse':
net/devlink/rate.c:382:1: error: the frame size of 1648 bytes is larger than 1536 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]

Introduce a separate attribute set specifically for rate TC bandwidth
parsing that only contains the two attributes actually used: index
and bandwidth. This reduces the stack array from DEVLINK_ATTR_MAX
entries to just 2 entries, solving the stack usage issue.

Update devlink selftest to use the new 'index' and 'bw' attribute names
consistent with the YAML spec.

Example usage with ynl with the new spec:

    ./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec Documentation/netlink/specs/devlink.yaml \
      --do rate-set --json '{
      "bus-name": "pci",
      "dev-name": "0000:08:00.0",
      "port-index": 1,
      "rate-tc-bws": [
        {"index": 0, "bw": 50},
        {"index": 1, "bw": 50},
        {"index": 2, "bw": 0},
        {"index": 3, "bw": 0},

        {"index": 6, "bw": 0},
        {"index": 7, "bw": 0}
      ]
    }'

    ./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec Documentation/netlink/specs/devlink.yaml \
      --do rate-get --json '{
      "bus-name": "pci",
      "dev-name": "0000:08:00.0",
      "port-index": 1
    }'

    output for rate-get:
    {'bus-name': 'pci',
     'dev-name': '0000:08:00.0',
     'port-index': 1,
     'rate-tc-bws': [{'bw': 50, 'index': 0},
                     {'bw': 50, 'index': 1},

                     {'bw': 0, 'index': 3},
                     {'bw': 0, 'index': 4},
                     {'bw': 0, 'index': 5},
                     {'bw': 0, 'index': 6},

<title>ethtool: rss: support removing contexts via Netlink</title>

Implement removing additional RSS contexts via Netlink.
Technically it'd be possible to shoehorn the delete operation
into ethnl_request_ops-compatible handler. The code ends
up longer than open coded version, and I think we'll need
a custom way of sending notifications at some stage (if we
allow tying the context lifetime to the netlink socket, in
the future).
