Core
----
- Introduce XDP multi-buffer support, allowing the use of XDP with
jumbo frame MTUs and combination with Rx coalescing offloads (LRO).
- Speed up netns dismantling (5x) and lower the memory cost a little.
Remove unnecessary per-netns sockets. Scope some lists to a netns.
Cut down RCU syncing. Use batch methods. Allow netdev registration
to complete out of order.
- Support distinguishing timestamp types (ingress vs egress) and
maintaining them across packet scrubbing points (e.g. redirect).
- Continue the work of annotating packet drop reasons throughout
the stack.
- Switch netdev error counters from an atomic to dynamically
allocated per-CPU counters.
- Rework a few preempt_disable(), local_irq_save() and busy waiting
sections problematic on PREEMPT_RT.
- Extend the ref_tracker to allow catching use-after-free bugs.
BPF
---
- Introduce "packing allocator" for BPF JIT images. JITed code is
marked read only, and used to be allocated at page granularity.
Custom allocator allows for more efficient memory use, lower
iTLB pressure and prevents identity mapping huge pages from
getting split.
- Make use of BTF type annotations (e.g. __user, __percpu) to enforce
the correct probe read access method, add appropriate helpers.
- Convert the BPF preload to use light skeleton and drop
the user-mode-driver dependency.
- Allow XDP BPF_PROG_RUN test infra to send real packets, enabling
its use as a packet generator.
- Allow local storage memory to be allocated with GFP_KERNEL if called
from a hook allowed to sleep.
- Introduce fprobe (multi kprobe) to speed up mass attachment (arch
bits to come later).
- Add unstable conntrack lookup helpers for BPF by using the BPF
kfunc infra.
- Allow cgroup BPF progs to return custom errors to user space.
- Add support for AF_UNIX iterator batching.
- Allow iterator programs to use sleepable helpers.
- Support JIT of add, and, or, xor and xchg atomic ops on arm64.
- Add BTFGen support to bpftool which allows to use CO-RE in kernels
without BTF info.
- Large number of libbpf API improvements, cleanups and deprecations.
Protocols
---------
- Micro-optimize UDPv6 Tx, gaining up to 5% in test on dummy netdev.
- Adjust TSO packet sizes based on min_rtt, allowing very low latency
links (data centers) to always send full-sized TSO super-frames.
- Make IPv6 flow label changes (AKA hash rethink) more configurable,
via sysctl and setsockopt. Distinguish between server and client
behavior.
- VxLAN support to "collect metadata" devices to terminate only
configured VNIs. This is similar to VLAN filtering in the bridge.
- Support inserting IPv6 IOAM information to a fraction of frames.
- Add protocol attribute to IP addresses to allow identifying where
given address comes from (kernel-generated, DHCP etc.)
- Support setting socket and IPv6 options via cmsg on ping6 sockets.
- Reject mis-use of ECN bits in IP headers as part of DSCP/TOS.
Define dscp_t and stop taking ECN bits into account in fib-rules.
- Add support for locked bridge ports (for 802.1X).
- tun: support NAPI for packets received from batched XDP buffs,
doubling the performance in some scenarios.
- IPv6 extension header handling in Open vSwitch.
- Support IPv6 control message load balancing in bonding, prevent
neighbor solicitation and advertisement from using the wrong port.
Support NS/NA monitor selection similar to existing ARP monitor.
- SMC
- improve performance with TCP_CORK and sendfile()
- support auto-corking
- support TCP_NODELAY
- MCTP (Management Component Transport Protocol)
- add user space tag control interface
- I2C binding driver (as specified by DMTF DSP0237)
- Multi-BSSID beacon handling in AP mode for WiFi.
- Bluetooth:
- handle MSFT Monitor Device Event
- add MGMT Adv Monitor Device Found/Lost events
- Multi-Path TCP:
- add support for the SO_SNDTIMEO socket option
- lots of selftest cleanups and improvements
- Increase the max PDU size in CAN ISOTP to 64 kB.
Driver API
----------
- Add HW counters for SW netdevs, a mechanism for devices which
offload packet forwarding to report packet statistics back to
software interfaces such as tunnels.
- Select the default NIC queue count as a fraction of number of
physical CPU cores, instead of hard-coding to 8.
- Expose devlink instance locks to drivers. Allow device layer of
drivers to use that lock directly instead of creating their own
which always runs into ordering issues in devlink callbacks.
- Add header/data split indication to guide user space enabling
of TCP zero-copy Rx.
- Allow configuring completion queue event size.
- Refactor page_pool to enable fragmenting after allocation.
- Add allocation and page reuse statistics to page_pool.
- Improve Multiple Spanning Trees support in the bridge to allow
reuse of topologies across VLANs, saving HW resources in switches.
- DSA (Distributed Switch Architecture):
- replay and offload of host VLAN entries
- offload of static and local FDB entries on LAG interfaces
- FDB isolation and unicast filtering

mlx5-next 2022-22-02
The following PR includes updates to mlx5-next branch:
Headlines:
==========
1) Jakub cleans up unused static inline functions
2) I did some low level firmware command interface return status changes to
provide the caller with full visibility on the error/status returned by
the Firmware.
3) Use the new command interface in RDMA DEVX usecases to avoid flooding
dmesg with some "expected" user error prone use cases.
4) Moshe also uses the new command interface to grab the specific error
code from MFRL register command to provide the exact error reason for
why SW reset couldn't perform internally in FW.
5) From Mark Bloch: Lag, drop packets in hardware when possible
In active-backup mode the inactive interface's packets are dropped by the
bond device. In switchdev where TC rules are offloaded to the FDB
this can lead to packets being hit in the FDB where without offload
they would have been dropped before reaching TC rules in the kernel.
Create a drop rule to make sure packets on inactive ports are dropped
before reaching the FDB.
Listen on NETDEV_CHANGEUPPER / NETDEV_CHANGEINFODATA events and record
the inactive state and offload accordingly.

Expose an API to get the mlx5 core device from a given VF PCI device if
mlx5_core is its driver.
Upon the get API we stay with the intf_state_mutex locked to make sure
that the device can't be gone/unloaded till the caller will complete
its job over the device, this expects to be for a short period of time
for any flow that the lock is taken.
Upon the put API we unlock the intf_state_mutex.
The use case for those APIs is the migration flow of a VF over VFIO PCI.
In that case the VF doesn't ride on mlx5_core, because the device is
driving *two* different PCI devices, the PF owned by mlx5_core and the
VF owned by the vfio driver.
The mlx5_core of the PF is accessed only during the narrow window of the
VF's ioctl that requires its services.
This allows the PF driver to be more independent of the VF driver, so
long as it doesn't reset the FW.

mlx5_core_create_{cq/dct} functions are non-trivial mlx5 commands
functions. They check command execution status themselves and hide
valuable FW failure information.
For mlx5_core/eth kernel user this is what we actually want, but for a
devx/rdma user the hidden information is essential and should be propagated
up to the caller, thus we convert these commands to use mlx5_cmd_do
to return the FW/driver and command outbox status as is, and let the caller
decide what to do with it.
For kernel callers of mlx5_core_create_{cq/dct} or those who only care about
the binary status (FAIL/SUCCESS) they must check status themselves via
mlx5_cmd_check() to restore the current behavior.
err = mlx5_create_cq(in, out)
err = mlx5_cmd_check(err, in, out)
if (err)
// handle err
For DEVX users and those who care about full visibility, They will just
propagate the error to user space, and app can check if err == -EREMOTEIO,
then outbox.{status,syndrome} are valid.
API Note:
mlx5_cmd_check() must be used by kernel users since it allows the driver
to intercept the command execution status and return a driver simulated
status in case of driver induced error handling or reset/recovery flows.

The flow counters bulk query buffer is allocated once during
mlx5_fc_init_stats(). For PFs and VFs this buffer usually takes a little
more than 512KB of memory, which is aligned to the next power of 2, to
1MB. For SFs, this buffer is reduced and takes around 128 Bytes.
The buffer size determines the maximum number of flow counters that
can be queried at a time. Thus, having a bigger buffer can improve
performance for users that need to query many flow counters.
There are cases that don't use many flow counters and don't need a big
buffer (e.g. SFs, VFs). Since this size is critical with large scale,
in these cases the buffer size should be reduced.
In order to reduce memory consumption while maintaining query
performance, change the query buffer's allocation scheme to the
following:
- First allocate the buffer with small initial size.
- If the number of counters surpasses the initial size, resize the
buffer to the maximum size.
The buffer only grows and isn't shrank, because users with many flow
counters don't care about the buffer size and we don't want to add
resize overhead if the current number of counters drops.
This solution is preferable to the current one, which is less accurate
and only addresses SFs.
