Documentation: add TLS offload documentation

2019-05-22T19:18:20+00:00

Describe existing kernel TLS offload (added back in Linux 4.19) -
the mechanism, the expected behavior and the notable corner cases.

This documentation is mostly targeting hardware vendors who want
to implement offload, to ensure consistency between implementations.

v2:
 - add emphasis around TLS_SW/TLS_HW/TLS_HW_RECORD;
 - remove mentions of ongoing work (Boris);
 - split the flow of data in SW vs. HW cases in TX overview
   (Boris);
 - call out which fields are updated by the device and which
   are filled by the stack (Boris);
 - move error handling into it's own section (Boris);
 - add more words about fallback (Boris);
 - note that checksum validation is required (Alexei);
 - note that drivers shouldn't pay attention to the TLS
   device features.

Documentation: net: move device drivers docs to a submenu

2019-05-22T19:18:20+00:00

Some of the device drivers have really long document titles
making the networking table of contents hard to look through.
Place vendor drivers under a submenu.

rxrpc: Allow the kernel to mark a call as being non-interruptible

2019-05-16T15:25:20+00:00

Allow kernel services using AF_RXRPC to indicate that a call should be
non-interruptible.  This allows kafs to make things like lock-extension and
writeback data storage calls non-interruptible.

If this is set, signals will be ignored for operations on that call where
possible - such as waiting to get a call channel on an rxrpc connection.

It doesn't prevent UDP sendmsg from being interrupted, but that will be
handled by packet retransmission.

rxrpc_kernel_recv_data() isn't affected by this since that never waits,
preferring instead to return -EAGAIN and leave the waiting to the caller.

Userspace initiated calls can't be set to be uninterruptible at this time.

Provide an interface to set max lifespan on a call from inside of the
kernel without having to call kernel_sendmsg().
