<content type='text'>
Currently, the sock_from_file prototype takes an "err" pointer that is
either not set or set to -ENOTSOCK IFF the returned socket is NULL. This
makes the error redundant and it is ignored by a few callers.

This patch simplifies the API by letting callers deduce the error based
on whether the returned socket is NULL or not.

This allows invoking an additional callback under the
socket spin lock.

Will be used by the next patches to avoid additional

<id>7fd3253a7de6a317a0683f83739479fb880bffc8</id>
<content type='text'>
The existing busy-polling mode, enabled by the SO_BUSY_POLL socket
option or system-wide using the /proc/sys/net/core/busy_read knob, is
an opportunistic. That means that if the NAPI context is not
scheduled, it will poll it. If, after busy-polling, the budget is
exceeded the busy-polling logic will schedule the NAPI onto the
regular softirq handling.

One implication of the behavior above is that a busy/heavy loaded NAPI
context will never enter/allow for busy-polling. Some applications
prefer that most NAPI processing would be done by busy-polling.

This series adds a new socket option, SO_PREFER_BUSY_POLL, that works
in concert with the napi_defer_hard_irqs and gro_flush_timeout
knobs. The napi_defer_hard_irqs and gro_flush_timeout knobs were
introduced in commit 6f8b12d661d0 ("net: napi: add hard irqs deferral
feature"), and allows for a user to defer interrupts to be enabled and
instead schedule the NAPI context from a watchdog timer. When a user
enables the SO_PREFER_BUSY_POLL, again with the other knobs enabled,
and the NAPI context is being processed by a softirq, the softirq NAPI
processing will exit early to allow the busy-polling to be performed.

If the application stops performing busy-polling via a system call,
the watchdog timer defined by gro_flush_timeout will timeout, and
regular softirq handling will resume.

In summary; Heavy traffic applications that prefer busy-polling over
softirq processing should use this option.

Example usage:

  $ echo 2 | sudo tee /sys/class/net/ens785f1/napi_defer_hard_irqs
  $ echo 200000 | sudo tee /sys/class/net/ens785f1/gro_flush_timeout

Note that the timeout should be larger than the userspace processing
window, otherwise the watchdog will timeout and fall back to regular
softirq processing.

Enable the SO_BUSY_POLL/SO_PREFER_BUSY_POLL options on your socket.

The static checker is fooled by the non-static locking scheme
implemented by the mentioned helpers.
Let's make its life easier adding some unconditional annotation
so that the helpers are now interpreted as a plain spinlock from
sparse.

<title>net: Properly typecast int values to set sk_max_pacing_rate</title>

<content type='text'>
In setsockopt(SO_MAX_PACING_RATE) on 64bit systems, sk_max_pacing_rate,
after extended from 'u32' to 'unsigned long', takes unintentionally
hiked value whenever assigned from an 'int' value with MSB=1, due to
binary sign extension in promoting s32 to u64, e.g. 0x80000000 becomes
0xFFFFFFFF80000000.

Thus inflated sk_max_pacing_rate causes subsequent getsockopt to return
~0U unexpectedly. It may also result in increased pacing rate.

Fix by explicitly casting the 'int' value to 'unsigned int' before
assigning it to sk_max_pacing_rate, for zero extension to happen.

<title>socket: don't clear SOCK_TSTAMP_NEW when SO_TIMESTAMPNS is disabled</title>

SOCK_TSTAMP_NEW (timespec64 instead of timespec) is also used for
hardware time stamps (configured via SO_TIMESTAMPING_NEW).

User space (ptp4l) first configures hardware time stamping via
SO_TIMESTAMPING_NEW which sets SOCK_TSTAMP_NEW. In the next step, ptp4l
disables SO_TIMESTAMPNS(_NEW) (software time stamps), but this must not
switch hardware time stamps back to "32 bit mode".

This problem happens on 32 bit platforms were the libc has already
switched to struct timespec64 (from SO_TIMExxx_OLD to SO_TIMExxx_NEW
socket options). ptp4l complains with "missing timestamp on transmitted
peer delay request" because the wrong format is received (and
discarded).

switch hardware time stamps back to "32 bit mode".

This problem happens on 32 bit platforms were the libc has already
switched to struct timespec64 (from SO_TIMExxx_OLD to SO_TIMExxx_NEW
socket options). ptp4l complains with "missing timestamp on transmitted
peer delay request" because the wrong format is received (and
discarded).

Fixes: 887feae36aee ("socket: Add SO_TIMESTAMP[NS]_NEW")
Fixes: 783da70e8396 ("net: add sock_enable_timestamps")

The comparison of optname with SO_TIMESTAMPING_NEW is wrong way around,
so SOCK_TSTAMP_NEW will first be set and than reset again. Additionally
move it out of the test for SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RX_SOFTWARE as this seems
unrelated.
