Merge tag 'net-next-5.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

2020-10-16T01:42:13+00:00

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:

- Add redirect_neigh() BPF packet redirect helper, allowing to limit
stack traversal in common container configs and improving TCP
back-pressure.

Daniel reports ~10Gbps => ~15Gbps single stream TCP performance gain.

- Expand netlink policy support and improve policy export to user
space. (Ge)netlink core performs request validation according to
declared policies. Expand the expressiveness of those policies
(min/max length and bitmasks). Allow dumping policies for particular
commands. This is used for feature discovery by user space (instead
of kernel version parsing or trial and error).

- Support IGMPv3/MLDv2 multicast listener discovery protocols in
bridge.

- Allow more than 255 IPv4 multicast interfaces.

- Add support for Type of Service (ToS) reflection in SYN/SYN-ACK
packets of TCPv6.

- In Multi-patch TCP (MPTCP) support concurrent transmission of data on
multiple subflows in a load balancing scenario. Enhance advertising
addresses via the RM_ADDR/ADD_ADDR options.

- Support SMC-Dv2 version of SMC, which enables multi-subnet
deployments.

- Allow more calls to same peer in RxRPC.

- Support two new Controller Area Network (CAN) protocols - CAN-FD and
ISO 15765-2:2016.

- Add xfrm/IPsec compat layer, solving the 32bit user space on 64bit
kernel problem.

- Add TC actions for implementing MPLS L2 VPNs.

- Improve nexthop code - e.g. handle various corner cases when nexthop
objects are removed from groups better, skip unnecessary
notifications and make it easier to offload nexthops into HW by
converting to a blocking notifier.

- Support adding and consuming TCP header options by BPF programs,
opening the doors for easy experimental and deployment-specific TCP
option use.

- Reorganize TCP congestion control (CC) initialization to simplify
life of TCP CC implemented in BPF.

- Add support for shipping BPF programs with the kernel and loading
them early on boot via the User Mode Driver mechanism, hence reusing
all the user space infra we have.

- Support sleepable BPF programs, initially targeting LSM and tracing.

- Add bpf_d_path() helper for returning full path for given 'struct
path'.

- Make bpf_tail_call compatible with bpf-to-bpf calls.

- Allow BPF programs to call map_update_elem on sockmaps.

- Add BPF Type Format (BTF) support for type and enum discovery, as
well as support for using BTF within the kernel itself (current use
is for pretty printing structures).

- Support listing and getting information about bpf_links via the bpf
syscall.

- Enhance kernel interfaces around NIC firmware update. Allow
specifying overwrite mask to control if settings etc. are reset
during update; report expected max time operation may take to users;
support firmware activation without machine reboot incl. limits of
how much impact reset may have (e.g. dropping link or not).

- Extend ethtool configuration interface to report IEEE-standard
counters, to limit the need for per-vendor logic in user space.

- Adopt or extend devlink use for debug, monitoring, fw update in many
drivers (dsa loop, ice, ionic, sja1105, qed, mlxsw, mv88e6xxx,
dpaa2-eth).

- In mlxsw expose critical and emergency SFP module temperature alarms.
Refactor port buffer handling to make the defaults more suitable and
support setting these values explicitly via the DCBNL interface.

- Add XDP support for Intel's igb driver.

- Support offloading TC flower classification and filtering rules to
mscc_ocelot switches.

- Add PTP support for Marvell Octeontx2 and PP2.2 hardware, as well as
fixed interval period pulse generator and one-step timestamping in
dpaa-eth.

- Add support for various auth offloads in WiFi APs, e.g. SAE (WPA3)
offload.

- Add Lynx PHY/PCS MDIO module, and convert various drivers which have
this HW to use it. Convert mvpp2 to split PCS.

- Support Marvell Prestera 98DX3255 24-port switch ASICs, as well as
7-port Mediatek MT7531 IP.

- Add initial support for QCA6390 and IPQ6018 in ath11k WiFi driver,
and wcn3680 support in wcn36xx.

- Improve performance for packets which don't require much offloads on
recent Mellanox NICs by 20% by making multiple packets share a
descriptor entry.

- Move chelsio inline crypto drivers (for TLS and IPsec) from the
crypto subtree to drivers/net. Move MDIO drivers out of the phy
directory.

- Clean up a lot of W=1 warnings, reportedly the actively developed
subsections of networking drivers should now build W=1 warning free.

- Make sure drivers don't use in_interrupt() to dynamically adapt their
code. Convert tasklets to use new tasklet_setup API (sadly this
conversion is not yet complete).

net: ena: update ena documentation

2020-09-21T20:54:23+00:00

The PCI vendor IDs in the documentation inaccurately describe the ENA
devices. For example, the 1d0f:ec20 can have LLQ support. The driver
loads in LLQ mode by default, and a message is printed to the kernel
ring if the mode isn't supported by the device, so the device table
isn't needed.

Also, LLQ can support various entry sizes, so the documentation is
updated to reflect that.

Interrupt moderation description is also updated to be more accurate.

net: ena: Change RSS related macros and variables names

2020-09-21T20:54:23+00:00

The formal name changes to "ENA_ADMIN_RSS_INDIRECTION_TABLE_CONFIG".
Indirection is the ability to reference "something" using "something else"
instead of the value itself.
Indirection table, as the name implies, is the ability to reference
CPU/Queue value using hash-to-CPU table instead of CPU/Queue itself.

This patch renames the variable keys_num, which describes the number of
words in the RSS hash key, to key_parts which makes its purpose clearer
in RSS context.

    version).

    This can be replaced with the corresponding SPDX license identifier
    (GPL-2.0-or-later) in the source files which reference this license
    file.

  - A license for the device firmware

    This license is pointless in the context of the kernel as the firmware
    is not distributed as part of the kernel.

    LICENSE.qla2xxx contained exactly the same firmware license which was
    removed with commit bc3f957c069f ("[SCSI] qla2xxx: Update
    LICENSE.qla2xxx.").

    The firmware license is there due to the fact that the out of tree
    driver tarball which was available from the qlogic website contained
    the firmware binary. The firmware license in the qla3xxx license file
    got probably forgotten when the other qlogic license files were
    updated.

Remove the notices and add the SPDX license identifier GPL-2.0-or-later to
the source files.

Finally remove the now redundant LICENSE.qla3xxx file.

Merge tag 'wireless-drivers-next-2020-08-04' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvalo/wireless-drivers-next

2020-08-04T19:57:02+00:00

Kalle Valo says:

====================
wireless-drivers-next patches for v5.9

Second set of patches for v5.9. mt76 has most of patches this time.
Otherwise it's just smaller fixes and cleanups to other drivers.

There was a major conflict in mt76 driver between wireless-drivers and
wireless-drivers-next. I solved that by merging the former to the
latter.

Major changes:

rtw88

* add support for ieee80211_ops::change_interface

* add support for enabling and disabling beacon

* add debugfs file for testing h2c

mt76

* ARP filter offload for 7663

* runtime power management for 7663

* testmode support for mfg calibration

* support for more channels

ipw2x00: Replace HTTP links with HTTPS ones

2020-08-02T15:15:38+00:00

Rationale:
Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM
as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate.

Deterministic algorithm:
For each file:
  If not .svg:
    For each line:
      If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`:
        For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`:
	  If neither `\bgnu\.org/license`, nor `\bmozilla\.org/MPL\b`:
            If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions
            return 200 OK and serve the same content:
