There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare having a
dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure. Kernel code should
always use “flexible array members”[1] for these cases. The older style of
one-element or zero-length arrays should no longer be used[2].

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 =&gt; ~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).

<title>scsi: target: tcmu: Optimize scatter_data_area()</title>

scatter_data_area() has two purposes:

 1) Create the iovs for the data area buffer of a SCSI cmd.

 2) If there is data in DMA_TO_DEVICE direction, copy
    the data from sg_list to data area buffer.

Both are done in a common loop.

In case of DMA_FROM_DEVICE data transfer, scatter_data_area() is called
with parameter copy_data = false. But this flag is just used to skip
memcpy() for data, while radix_tree_lookup still is called for every dbi of
the area area buffer, and kmap and kunmap are called for every page from
sg_list and data_area as well as flush_dcache_page() for the data area
pages.  Since the only thing to do with copy_data = false would be to set
up the iovs, this is a noticeable overhead.  Rework the iov creation in the
main loop of scatter_data_area() providing the new function
new_block_to_iov().  Based on this, create the short new function
tcmu_setup_iovs() that only writes the iovs with no overhead.  This new
function is now called instead of scatter_data_area() for bidi buffers and
for data buffers in those cases where memcpy() would have been skipped.

<title>scsi: target: tcmu: Optimize queue_cmd_ring()</title>

<id>7e98905e9d0de04f5638a12cef902f7703436e04</id>
<content type='text'>
queue_cmd_ring() needs to check whether there is enough space in cmd ring
and data area for the cmd to queue.

Currently the sequence is:

 1) Calculate size the cmd will occupy on the ring based on estimation of
    needed iovs.

 2) Check whether there is enough space on the ring based on size from 1)

 3) Allocate buffers in data area.

 4) Calculate number of iovs the command really needs while copying
    incoming data (if any) to data area.

 5) Re-calculate real size of cmd on ring based on real number of iovs.

 6) Set up possible padding and cmd on the ring.

Step 1) must not underestimate the cmd size so use max possible number of
iovs for the given I/O data size. The resulting overestimation can be
really high so this sequence is not ideal. The earliest the real number of
iovs can be calculated is after data buffer allocation. Therefore rework
the code to implement the following sequence:

 A) Allocate buffers on data area and calculate number of necessary iovs
    during this.

 B) Calculate real size of cmd on ring based on number of iovs.

 C) Check whether there is enough space on the ring.

 D) Set up possible padding and cmd on the ring.

The new sequence enforces the split of new function tcmu_alloc_data_space()
from is_ring_space_avail(). Using this function, change queue_cmd_ring()
according to the new sequence.

Change routines called by tcmu_alloc_data_space() to allow calculating and
returning the iov count. Remove counting of iovs in scatter_data_area().

from is_ring_space_avail(). Using this function, change queue_cmd_ring()
according to the new sequence.

Change routines called by tcmu_alloc_data_space() to allow calculating and
returning the iov count. Remove counting of iovs in scatter_data_area().

Simplify code by joining tcmu_cmd_get_data_length() and
tcmu_cmd_get_block_cnt() into tcmu_cmd_set_block_cnts().  The new function
sets tcmu_cmd-&gt;dbi_cnt and also the new field tcmu_cmd-&gt;dbi_bidi_cnt which
is needed for further enhancements in following patches.  Simplify some
code by using tcmu_cmd-&gt;dbi(_bidi)_cnt instead of calculation from length.

Please note: The calculation of the number of dbis needed for bidi was
wrong. It was based on the length of the first bidi sg only. I changed it
to correctly sum up entire length of all bidi sgs.

Add "tmr_notification" configfs attribute to tcmu devices.  If the default
value 0 is used, tcmu only removes aborted commands from qfull_queue.  If
user changes tmr_notification to 1, additionally TMR notifications will be
written to the cmd ring.

<title>scsi: target: tcmu: Implement tmr_notify callback</title>

<id>bc2d214af5dbcf1e53be9a23d95905a585657ff4</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch implements the tmr_notify callback for tcmu.  When the callback
is called, tcmu checks the list of aborted commands it received as
parameter:

 - aborted commands in the qfull_queue are removed from the queue and
   target_complete_command is called

 - from the cmd_ids of aborted commands currently uncompleted in cmd ring
   it creates a list of aborted cmd_ids.

Finally a TMR notification is written to cmd ring containing TMR type and
cmd_id list. If there is no space in ring, the TMR notification is queued
on a TMR specific queue.

The TMR specific queue 'tmr_queue' can be seen as a extension of the cmd
ring. At the end of each iexecution of tcmu_complete_commands() we check
whether tmr_queue contains TMRs and try to move them onto the ring. If
tmr_queue is not empty after that, we don't call run_qfull_queue() because
commands must not overtake TMRs.

This way we guarantee that cmd_ids in TMR notification received by
userspace either match an active, not yet completed command or are no
longer valid due to userspace having complete some cmd_ids meanwhile.

New commands that were assigned to an aborted cmd_id will always appear on
the cmd ring _after_ the TMR.
