2025-02-06net: add dev_net_rcu() helperEric Dumazet
dev->nd_net can change, readers should either use rcu_read_lock() or RTNL. We currently use a generic helper, dev_net() with no debugging support. We probably have many hidden bugs. Add dev_net_rcu() helper for callers using rcu_read_lock() protection.

2025-02-05net-sysfs: move queue attribute groups outside the default groupsAntoine Tenart
Rx/tx queues embed their own kobject for registering their per-queue sysfs files. The issue is they're using the kobject default groups for this and entirely rely on the kobject refcounting for releasing their sysfs paths. In order to remove rtnl_trylock calls we need sysfs files not to rely on their associated kobject refcounting for their release. Thus we here move queues sysfs files from the kobject default groups to their own groups which can be removed separately.

2025-02-03net: harmonize tstats and dstatsPaolo Abeni
After the blamed commits below, some UDP tunnel use dstats for accounting. On the xmit path, all the UDP-base tunnels ends up using iptunnel_xmit_stats() for stats accounting, and the latter assumes the relevant (tunnel) network device uses tstats. The end result is some 'funny' stat report for the mentioned UDP tunnel, e.g. when no packet is actually dropped and a bunch of packets are transmitted: gnv2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1450 qdisc noqueue \ state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether ee:7d:09:87:90:ea brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff RX: bytes packets errors dropped missed mcast 14916 23 0 15 0 0 TX: bytes packets errors dropped carrier collsns 0 1566 0 0 0 0 Address the issue ensuring the same binary layout for the overlapping fields of dstats and tstats. While this solution is a bit hackish, is smaller and with no performance pitfall compared to other alternatives i.e. supporting both dstat and tstat in iptunnel_xmit_stats() or reverting the blamed commit. With time we should possibly move all the IP-based tunnel (and virtual devices) to dstats. Fixes: c77200c07491 ("bareudp: Handle stats using NETDEV_PCPU_STAT_DSTATS.")

2025-01-15net: add netdev->up protected by netdev_lock()Jakub Kicinski
Some uAPI (netdev netlink) hide net_device's sub-objects while the interface is down to ensure uniform behavior across drivers. To remove the rtnl_lock dependency from those uAPIs we need a way to safely tell if the device is down or up. Add an indication of whether device is open or closed, protected by netdev->lock. The semantics are the same as IFF_UP, but taking netdev_lock around every write to ->flags would be a lot of code churn. We don't want to blanket the entire open / close path by netdev_lock, because it will prevent us from applying it to specific structures - core helpers won't be able to take that lock from any function called by the drivers on open/close paths. So the state of the flag is "pessimistic", as in it may report false negatives, but never false positives.

2025-01-15net: make netdev_lock() protect netdev->reg_stateJakub Kicinski
Protect writes to netdev->reg_state with netdev_lock(). From now on holding netdev_lock() is sufficient to prevent the net_device from getting unregistered, so code which wants to hold just a single netdev around no longer needs to hold rtnl_lock. We do not protect the NETREG_UNREGISTERED -> NETREG_RELEASED transition. We'd need to move mutex_destroy(netdev->lock) to .release, but the real reason is that trying to stop the unregistration process mid-way would be unsafe / crazy. Taking references on such devices is not safe, either. So the intended semantics are to lock REGISTERED devices.

2025-01-15net: ethtool: add hds_config member in ethtool_netdev_stateTaehee Yoo
When tcp-data-split is UNKNOWN mode, drivers arbitrarily handle it. For example, bnxt_en driver automatically enables if at least one of LRO/GRO/JUMBO is enabled. If tcp-data-split is UNKNOWN and LRO is enabled, a driver returns ENABLES of tcp-data-split, not UNKNOWN. So, `ethtool -g eth0` shows tcp-data-split is enabled. The problem is in the setting situation. In the ethnl_set_rings(), it first calls get_ringparam() to get the current driver's config. At that moment, if driver's tcp-data-split config is UNKNOWN, it returns ENABLE if LRO/GRO/JUMBO is enabled. Then, it sets values from the user and driver's current config to kernel_ethtool_ringparam. Last it calls .set_ringparam(). The driver, especially bnxt_en driver receives ETHTOOL_TCP_DATA_SPLIT_ENABLED. But it can't distinguish whether it is set by the user or just the current config. When user updates ring parameter, the new hds_config value is updated and current hds_config value is stored to old_hdsconfig. Driver's .set_ringparam() callback can distinguish a passed tcp-data-split value is came from user explicitly. If .set_ringparam() is failed, hds_config is rollbacked immediately.

2025-01-14net: ti: icssg-prueth: Add Multicast Filtering support for VLAN in MAC modeMD Danish Anwar
Add multicast filtering support for VLAN interfaces in dual EMAC mode for ICSSG driver. The driver uses vlan_for_each() API to get the list of available vlans. The driver then sync mc addr of vlan interface with a locally mainatined list emac->vlan_mcast_list[vid] using __hw_addr_sync_multiple() API. __hw_addr_sync_multiple() is used instead of __hw_addr_sync() to sync vdev->mc with local list because the sync_cnt for addresses in vdev->mc will already be set by the vlan_dev_set_rx_mode() [net/8021q/vlan_dev.c] and __hw_addr_sync() only syncs when the sync_cnt == 0. Whereas __hw_addr_sync_multiple() can sync addresses even if sync_cnt is not 0. Export __hw_addr_sync_multiple() so that driver can use it. Once the local list is synced, driver calls __hw_addr_sync_dev() with the local list, vdev, sync and unsync callbacks. __hw_addr_sync_dev() is used with the local maintained list as the list to synchronize instead of using __dev_mc_sync() on vdev because __dev_mc_sync() on vdev will call __hw_addr_sync_dev() on vdev->mc and sync_cnt for addresses in vdev->mc will already be set by the vlan_dev_set_rx_mode() [net/8021q/vlan_dev.c] and __hw_addr_sync_dev() only syncs if the sync_cnt of addresses in the list (vdev->mc in this case) is 0. Whereas __hw_addr_sync_dev() on local list will work fine as the sync_cnt for addresses in the local list will still be 0. Based on change in addresses in the local list, sync / unsync callbacks are invoked. In the sync / unsync API in driver, based on whether the ndev is vlan or not, driver passes appropriate vid to FDB helper functions.

2024-12-06vrf: Make pcpu_dstats update functions available to other modules.Guillaume Nault
Currently vrf is the only module that uses NETDEV_PCPU_STAT_DSTATS. In order to make this kind of statistics available to other modules, we need to define the update functions in netdevice.h. Therefore, let's define dev_dstats_*() functions for RX and TX packet updates (packets, bytes and drops). Use these new functions in vrf.c instead of vrf_rx_stats() and the other manual counter updates. While there, update the type of the "len" variables to "unsigned int", so that there're aligned with both skb->len and the new dstats update functions.

2024-12-05xdp: register system page pool as an XDP memory modelToke Høiland-Jørgensen
To make the system page pool usable as a source for allocating XDP frames, we need to register it with xdp_reg_mem_model(), so that page return works correctly. This is done in preparation for using the system page_pool to convert XDP_PASS XSk frames to skbs; for the same reason, make the per-cpu variable non-static so we can access it from other source files as well (but w/o exporting).

2024-11-15ndo_fdb_add: Add a parameter to report whether notification was sentPetr Machata
Currently when FDB entries are added to or deleted from a VXLAN netdevice, the VXLAN driver emits one notification, including the VXLAN-specific attributes. The core however always sends a notification as well, a generic one. Thus two notifications are unnecessarily sent for these operations. A similar situation comes up with bridge driver, which also emits notifications on its own: # ip link add name vx type vxlan id 1000 dstport 4789 # bridge monitor fdb & [1] 1981693 # bridge fdb add de:ad:be:ef:13:37 dev vx self dst 192.0.2.1 de:ad:be:ef:13:37 dev vx dst 192.0.2.1 self permanent de:ad:be:ef:13:37 dev vx self permanent In order to prevent this duplicity, add a paremeter to ndo_fdb_add, bool *notified. The flag is primed to false, and if the callee sends a notification on its own, it sets it to true, thus informing the core that it should not generate another notification.

2024-10-21net: fix races in netdev_tx_sent_queue()/dev_watchdog()Eric Dumazet
Some workloads hit the infamous dev_watchdog() message: "NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0 (xxxx): transmit queue XX timed out" It seems possible to hit this even for perfectly normal BQL enabled drivers: 1) Assume a TX queue was idle for more than dev->watchdog_timeo (5 seconds unless changed by the driver) 2) Assume a big packet is sent, exceeding current BQL limit. 3) Driver ndo_start_xmit() puts the packet in TX ring, and netdev_tx_sent_queue() is called. 4) QUEUE_STATE_STACK_XOFF could be set from netdev_tx_sent_queue() before txq->trans_start has been written. 5) txq->trans_start is written later, from netdev_start_xmit() if (rc == NETDEV_TX_OK) txq_trans_update(txq) dev_watchdog() running on another cpu could read the old txq->trans_start, and then see QUEUE_STATE_STACK_XOFF, because 5) did not happen yet. To solve the issue, write txq->trans_start right before one XOFF bit is set : - _QUEUE_STATE_DRV_XOFF from netif_tx_stop_queue() - __QUEUE_STATE_STACK_XOFF from netdev_tx_sent_queue() From dev_watchdog(), we have to read txq->state before txq->trans_start. Add memory barriers to enforce correct ordering. In the future, we could avoid writing over txq->trans_start for normal operations, and rename this field to txq->xoff_start_time.

Commit 24ab059d2ebd ("net: check dev->gso_max_size in gso_features_check()") added a dev->gso_max_size test to gso_features_check() in order to fall back to GSO when needed. This was added as it was noticed that some drivers could misbehave if TSO packets get too big. However, the check doesn't respect dev->gso_ipv4_max_size limit. For instance, a device could be configured with BIG TCP for IPv4, but not IPv6. Therefore, add a netif_get_gso_max_size() equivalent to netif_get_gro_max_size() and use the helper to respect both limits before falling back to GSO engine.

2024-09-11netdev: support binding dma-buf to netdeviceMina Almasry
Add a netdev_dmabuf_binding struct which represents the dma-buf-to-netdevice binding. The netlink API will bind the dma-buf to rx queues on the netdevice. On the binding, the dma_buf_attach & dma_buf_map_attachment will occur. The entries in the sg_table from mapping will be inserted into a genpool to make it ready for allocation. The chunks in the genpool are owned by a dmabuf_chunk_owner struct which holds the dma-buf offset of the base of the chunk and the dma_addr of the chunk. Both are needed to use allocations that come from this chunk. We create a new type that represents an allocation from the genpool: net_iov. We setup the net_iov allocation size in the genpool to PAGE_SIZE for simplicity: to match the PAGE_SIZE normally allocated by the page pool and given to the drivers. The user can unbind the dmabuf from the netdevice by closing the netlink socket that established the binding. We do this so that the binding is automatically unbound even if the userspace process crashes. The binding and unbinding leaves an indicator in struct netdev_rx_queue that the given queue is bound, and the binding is actuated by resetting the rx queue using the queue API. The netdev_dmabuf_binding struct is refcounted, and releases its resources only when all the refs are released.

In commit 6f8b12d661d0 ("net: napi: add hard irqs deferral feature") napi_defer_irqs was added to net_device and napi_defer_irqs_count was added to napi_struct, both as type int. This value never goes below zero, so there is not reason for it to be a signed int. Change the type for both from int to u32, and add an overflow check to sysfs to limit the value to S32_MAX. The limit of S32_MAX was chosen because the practical limit before this patch was S32_MAX (anything larger was an overflow) and thus there are no behavioral changes introduced. If the extra bit is needed in the future, the limit can be raised.
