Allow the user to configure needed_{head,tail}room for both netkit
devices. The idea is similar to 163e529200af ("veth: implement
ndo_set_rx_headroom") with the difference that the two parameters
can be specified upon device creation. By default the current behavior
stays as is which is needed_{head,tail}room is 0.

In case of Cilium, for example, the netkit devices are not enslaved
into a bridge or openvswitch device (rather, BPF-based redirection
is used out of tcx), and as such these parameters are not propagated
into the Pod's netns via peer device.

Given Cilium can run in vxlan/geneve tunneling mode (needed_headroom)
and/or be used in combination with WireGuard (needed_{head,tail}room),
allow the Cilium CNI plugin to specify these two upon netkit device
creation.

The set of bits that the VXLAN netdevice currently considers reserved is
defined by the features enabled at the netdevice construction. In order to
make this configurable, add an attribute, IFLA_VXLAN_RESERVED_BITS. The
payload is a pair of big-endian u32's covering the VXLAN header. This is
validated against the set of flags used by the various enabled VXLAN
features, and attempts to override bits used by an enabled feature are
bounced.

MCTP control protocol implementations are transport binding dependent.
Endpoint discovery is mandatory based on transport binding.
Message timing requirements are specified in each respective transport
binding specification.

However, we currently have no means to get this information from MCTP
links.

Add a IFLA_MCTP_PHYS_BINDING netlink link attribute, which represents
the transport type using the DMTF DSP0239-defined type numbers, returned
as part of RTM_GETLINK data.

We get an IFLA_MCTP_PHYS_BINDING attribute for each MCTP link, for
example:

- 0x00 (unspec) for loopback interface;
- 0x01 (SMBus/I2C) for mctpi2c%d interfaces; and
- 0x05 (serial) for mctpserial%d interfaces.

Jordan reported that when running Cilium with netkit in per-endpoint-routes
mode, network policy misclassifies traffic. In this direct routing mode
of Cilium which is used in case of GKE/EKS/AKS, the Pod's BPF program to
enforce policy sits on the netkit primary device's egress side.

The issue here is that in case of netkit's netkit_prep_forward(), it will
clear meta data such as skb-&gt;mark and skb-&gt;priority before executing the
BPF program. Thus, identity data stored in there from earlier BPF programs
(e.g. from tcx ingress on the physical device) gets cleared instead of
being made available for the primary's program to process. While for traffic
egressing the Pod via the peer device this might be desired, this is
different for the primary one where compared to tcx egress on the host
veth this information would be available.

To address this, add a new parameter for the device orchestration to
allow control of skb-&gt;mark and skb-&gt;priority scrubbing, to make the two
accessible from BPF (and eventually leave it up to the program to scrub).
By default, the current behavior is retained. For netkit peer this also
enables the use case where applications could cooperate/signal intent to
the BPF program.

Note that struct netkit has a 4 byte hole between policy and bundle which
is used here, in other words, struct netkit's first cacheline content used
in fast-path does not get moved around.

Some network devices have the ability to offload EDT (Earliest
Departure Time) which is the model used for TCP pacing and FQ
packet scheduler.

Some of them implement the timing wheel mechanism described in
https://saeed.github.io/files/carousel-sigcomm17.pdf
with an associated 'timing wheel horizon'.

This patch adds dev-&gt;max_pacing_offload_horizon expressing
this timing wheel horizon in nsec units.

This is a read-only attribute.

Unless a driver sets it, dev-&gt;max_pacing_offload_horizon
is zero.

v2: addressed Jakub feedback ( https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20240930152304.472767-2-edumazet@google.com/T/#mf6294d714c41cc459962154cc2580ce3c9693663 )

Some network devices have the ability to offload EDT (Earliest
Departure Time) which is the model used for TCP pacing and FQ
packet scheduler.

Some of them implement the timing wheel mechanism described in
https://saeed.github.io/files/carousel-sigcomm17.pdf
with an associated 'timing wheel horizon'.

This patch adds dev-&gt;max_pacing_offload_horizon expressing
this timing wheel horizon in nsec units.

This is a read-only attribute.

Unless a driver sets it, dev-&gt;max_pacing_offload_horizon
is zero.

v2: addressed Jakub feedback ( https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20240930152304.472767-2-edumazet@google.com/T/#mf6294d714c41cc459962154cc2580ce3c9693663 )
v3: added yaml doc (also per Jakub feedback)

Add new iflink attributes to configure in-kernel UDP listener socket
address: IFLA_GTP_LOCAL and IFLA_GTP_LOCAL6. If none of these attributes
are specified, default is still to IPv4 INADDR_ANY for backward
compatibility.

Add new attributes to set up family and IPv6 address of GTP tunnels:
GTPA_FAMILY, GTPA_PEER_ADDR6 and GTPA_MS_ADDR6. If no GTPA_FAMILY is
specified, AF_INET is assumed for backward compatibility.

setsockopt IPV6_ADDRFORM allows to downgrade socket from IPv6 to IPv4
after socket is bound. Assumption is that socket listener that is
attached to the gtp device needs to be either IPv4 or IPv6. Therefore,
GTP socket listener does not allow for IPv4-mapped-IPv6 listener.

<id>5055cccfc2d1cc1a7306f6bcdcd0ee9521d707f5</id>
<content type='text'>
Introduce RedBox support (HSR-SAN to be more precise) for HSR networks.
Following traffic reduction optimizations have been implemented:
- Do not send HSR supervisory frames to Port C (interlink)
- Do not forward to HSR ring frames addressed to Port C
- Do not forward to Port C frames from HSR ring
- Do not send duplicate HSR frame to HSR ring when destination is Port C

The corresponding patch to modify iptable2 sources has already been sent:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20240308145729.490863-1-lukma@denx.de/T/

Testing procedure (veth and netns):
-----------------------------------
One shall run:
linux-vanila/tools/testing/selftests/net/hsr/hsr_redbox.sh
(Detailed description of the setup one can find in the test
script file).

Testing procedure (real hardware):
----------------------------------
The EVB-KSZ9477 has been used for testing on net-next branch
(SHA1: 5fc68320c1fb3c7d456ddcae0b4757326a043e6f).

Ports 4/5 were used for SW managed HSR (hsr1) as first hsr0 for ports 1/2
(with HW offloading for ksz9477) was created. Port 3 has been used as
interlink port (single USB-ETH dongle).

Configuration - RedBox (EVB-KSZ9477):
if link set lan1 down;ip link set lan2 down
ip link add name hsr0 type hsr slave1 lan1 slave2 lan2 supervision 45 version 1
ip link add name hsr1 type hsr slave1 lan4 slave2 lan5 interlink lan3 supervision 45 version 1
ip link set lan4 up;ip link set lan5 up
ip link set lan3 up
ip addr add 192.168.0.11/24 dev hsr1
ip link set hsr1 up

Configuration - DAN-H (EVB-KSZ9477):

ip link set lan1 down;ip link set lan2 down
ip link add name hsr0 type hsr slave1 lan1 slave2 lan2 supervision 45 version 1
ip link add name hsr1 type hsr slave1 lan4 slave2 lan5 supervision 45 version 1
ip link set lan4 up;ip link set lan5 up
ip addr add 192.168.0.12/24 dev hsr1
ip link set hsr1 up

This approach uses only SW based HSR devices (hsr1).

--------------          -----------------       ------------
DAN-H  Port5 | &lt;------&gt; | Port5         |       |
       Port4 | &lt;------&gt; | Port4   Port3 | &lt;---&gt; | PC
             |          | (RedBox)      |       | (USB-ETH)

<title>bonding: Add independent control state machine</title>

<id>240fd405528bbf7fafa0559202ca7aa524c9cd96</id>
<content type='text'>
Add support for the independent control state machine per IEEE
802.1AX-2008 5.4.15 in addition to the existing implementation of the
coupled control state machine.

Introduces two new states, AD_MUX_COLLECTING and AD_MUX_DISTRIBUTING in
the LACP MUX state machine for separated handling of an initial
Collecting state before the Collecting and Distributing state. This
enables a port to be in a state where it can receive incoming packets
while not still distributing. This is useful for reducing packet loss when
a port begins distributing before its partner is able to collect.

Added new functions such as bond_set_slave_tx_disabled_flags and
bond_set_slave_rx_enabled_flags to precisely manage the port's collecting
and distributing states. Previously, there was no dedicated method to
disable TX while keeping RX enabled, which this patch addresses.

Note that the regular flow process in the kernel's bonding driver remains
unaffected by this patch. The extension requires explicit opt-in by the
user (in order to ensure no disruptions for existing setups) via netlink
support using the new bonding parameter coupled_control. The default value
for coupled_control is set to 1 so as to preserve existing behaviour.
