Pull io_uring zero-copy receive support from Jens Axboe: "This adds support for zero-copy receive with io_uring, enabling fast bulk receive of data directly into application memory, rather than needing to copy the data out of kernel memory. While this version only supports host memory as that was the initial target, other memory types are planned as well, with notably GPU memory coming next. This work depends on some networking components which were queued up on the networking side, but have now landed in your tree. This is the work of Pavel Begunkov and David Wei. From the v14 posting: 'We configure a page pool that a driver uses to fill a hw rx queue to hand out user pages instead of kernel pages. Any data that ends up hitting this hw rx queue will thus be dma'd into userspace memory directly, without needing to be bounced through kernel memory. 'Reading' data out of a socket instead becomes a _notification_ mechanism, where the kernel tells userspace where the data is. The overall approach is similar to the devmem TCP proposal This relies on hw header/data split, flow steering and RSS to ensure packet headers remain in kernel memory and only desired flows hit a hw rx queue configured for zero copy. Configuring this is outside of the scope of this patchset. We share netdev core infra with devmem TCP. The main difference is that io_uring is used for the uAPI and the lifetime of all objects are bound to an io_uring instance. Data is 'read' using a new io_uring request type. When done, data is returned via a new shared refill queue. A zero copy page pool refills a hw rx queue from this refill queue directly. Of course, the lifetime of these data buffers are managed by io_uring rather than the networking stack, with different refcounting rules. This patchset is the first step adding basic zero copy support. We will extend this iteratively with new features e.g. dynamically allocated zero copy areas, THP support, dmabuf support, improved copy fallback, general optimisations and more' In a local setup, I was able to saturate a 200G link with a single CPU core, and at netdev conf 0x19 earlier this month, Jamal reported 188Gbit of bandwidth using a single core (no HT, including soft-irq). Safe to say the efficiency is there, as bigger links would be needed to find the per-core limit, and it's considerably more efficient and faster than the existing devmem solution" * tag 'for-6.15/io_uring-rx-zc-20250325' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux: io_uring/zcrx: add selftest case for recvzc with read limit io_uring/zcrx: add a read limit to recvzc requests io_uring: add missing IORING_MAP_OFF_ZCRX_REGION in io_uring_mmap io_uring: Rename KConfig to Kconfig io_uring/zcrx: fix leaks on failed registration io_uring/zcrx: recheck ifq on shutdown io_uring/zcrx: add selftest net: add documentation for io_uring zcrx io_uring/zcrx: add copy fallback io_uring/zcrx: throttle receive requests io_uring/zcrx: set pp memory provider for an rx queue io_uring/zcrx: add io_recvzc request io_uring/zcrx: dma-map area for the device io_uring/zcrx: implement zerocopy receive pp memory provider io_uring/zcrx: grab a net device io_uring/zcrx: add io_zcrx_area io_uring/zcrx: add interface queue and refill queue

2025-03-25net-timestamp: COMPLETION timestamp on packet tx completionPauli Virtanen1-0/+8
Add SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_COMPLETION, for requesting a software timestamp when hardware reports a packet completed. Completion tstamp is useful for Bluetooth, as hardware timestamps do not exist in the HCI specification except for ISO packets, and the hardware has a queue where packets may wait. In this case the software SND timestamp only reflects the kernel-side part of the total latency (usually small) and queue length (usually 0 unless HW buffers congested), whereas the completion report time is more informative of the true latency. It may also be useful in other cases where HW TX timestamps cannot be obtained and user wants to estimate an upper bound to when the TX probably happened.

2025-03-25tcp: support TCP_RTO_MIN_US for set/getsockopt useJason Xing1-2/+2
Support adjusting/reading RTO MIN for socket level by using set/getsockopt(). This new option has the same effect as TCP_BPF_RTO_MIN, which means it doesn't affect RTAX_RTO_MIN usage (by using ip route...). Considering that bpf option was implemented before this patch, so we need to use a standalone new option for pure tcp set/getsockopt() use. When the socket is created, its icsk_rto_min is set to the default value that is controlled by sysctl_tcp_rto_min_us. Then if application calls setsockopt() with TCP_RTO_MIN_US flag to pass a valid value, then icsk_rto_min will be overridden in jiffies unit. This patch adds WRITE_ONCE/READ_ONCE to avoid data-race around icsk_rto_min.

2025-03-19netconsole: allow selection of egress interface via MAC addressUday Shankar1-1/+5
Currently, netconsole has two methods of configuration - module parameter and configfs. The former interface allows for netconsole activation earlier during boot (by specifying the module parameter on the kernel command line), so it is preferred for debugging issues which arise before userspace is up/the configfs interface can be used. The module parameter syntax requires specifying the egress interface name. This requirement makes it hard to use for a couple reasons: - The egress interface name can be hard or impossible to predict. For example, installing a new network card in a system can change the interface names assigned by the kernel. - When constructing the module parameter, one may have trouble determining the original (kernel-assigned) name of the interface (which is the name that should be given to netconsole) if some stable interface naming scheme is in effect. A human can usually look at kernel logs to determine the original name, but this is very painful if automation is constructing the parameter. For these reasons, allow selection of the egress interface via MAC address when configuring netconsole using the module parameter. Update the netconsole documentation with an example of the new syntax. Selection of egress interface by MAC address via configfs is far less interesting (since when this interface can be used, one should be able to easily convert between MAC address and interface name), so it is left unimplemented.

2025-02-26net: move aRFS rmap management and CPU affinity to coreAhmed Zaki1-2/+4
A common task for most drivers is to remember the user-set CPU affinity to its IRQs. On each netdev reset, the driver should re-assign the user's settings to the IRQs. Unify this task across all drivers by moving the CPU affinity to napi->config. However, to move the CPU affinity to core, we also need to move aRFS rmap management since aRFS uses its own IRQ notifiers. For the aRFS, add a new netdev flag "rx_cpu_rmap_auto". Drivers supporting aRFS should set the flag via netif_enable_cpu_rmap() and core will allocate and manage the aRFS rmaps. Freeing the rmap is also done by core when the netdev is freed. For better IRQ affinity management, move the IRQ rmap notifier inside the napi_struct and add new notify.notify and notify.release functions: netif_irq_cpu_rmap_notify() and netif_napi_affinity_release(). Now we have the aRFS rmap management in core, add CPU affinity mask to napi_config. To delegate the CPU affinity management to the core, drivers must: 1 - set the new netdev flag "irq_affinity_auto": netif_enable_irq_affinity(netdev) 2 - create the napi with persistent config: netif_napi_add_config() 3 - bind an IRQ to the napi instance: netif_napi_set_irq() the core will then make sure to use re-assign affinity to the napi's IRQ. The default IRQ mask is set to one cpu starting from the closest NUMA.

Yong-Hao Zou mentioned that linux was not strict as other OS in 3WHS, for flows using TCP TS option (RFC 7323) As hinted by an old comment in tcp_check_req(), we can check the TSEcr value in the incoming packet corresponds to one of the SYNACK TSval values we have sent. In this patch, I record the oldest and most recent values that SYNACK packets have used. Send a challenge ACK if we receive a TSEcr outside of this range, and increase a new SNMP counter. nstat -az | grep TSEcrRejected TcpExtTSEcrRejected 0 0.0 Due to TCP fastopen implementation, do not apply yet these checks for fastopen flows. v2: No longer use req->num_timeout, but treq->snt_tsval_first to detect when first SYNACK is prepared. This means we make sure to not send an initial zero TSval. Make sure MPTCP and TCP selftests are passing.

2025-02-12net/mlx5: Expose ICM consumption per functionAkiva Goldberger1-0/+4
ICM is a portion of the host's memory assigned to a function by the OS through requests made by the NIC's firmware. PF ICM consumption can be accessed directly, while VF/SF ICM consumption can be accessed through their representors in switchdev mode. The value is exposed to the user in granularity of 4KB through the vnic health reporter as follows: $ devlink health diagnose pci/0000:08:00.0 reporter vnic vNIC env counters: total_error_queues: 0 send_queue_priority_update_flow: 0 comp_eq_overrun: 0 async_eq_overrun: 0 cq_overrun: 0 invalid_command: 0 quota_exceeded_command: 0 nic_receive_steering_discard: 0 icm_consumption: 1032 Signed-off-by: Akiva Goldberger <agoldberger@nvidia.com> Reviewed-by: Moshe Shemesh <moshe@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Tariq Toukan <tariqt@nvidia.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250209101716.112774-11-tariqt@nvidia.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>

2025-02-11tcp: add tcp_rto_max_ms sysctlEric Dumazet2-0/+14
Previous patch added a TCP_RTO_MAX_MS socket option to tune a TCP socket max RTO value. Many setups prefer to change a per netns sysctl. This patch adds /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_rto_max_ms Its initial value is 120000 (120 seconds). Keep in mind that a decrease of tcp_rto_max_ms means shorter overall timeouts, unless tcp_retries2 sysctl is increased.

2025-02-11tcp: add the ability to control max RTOEric Dumazet1-0/+1
Currently, TCP stack uses a constant (120 seconds) to limit the RTO value exponential growth. Some applications want to set a lower value. Add TCP_RTO_MAX_MS socket option to set a value (in ms) between 1 and 120 seconds. It is discouraged to change the socket rto max on a live socket, as it might lead to unexpected disconnects. Following patch is adding a netns sysctl to control the default value at socket creation time.

2025-02-10netconsole: docs: Add documentation for CPU number auto-populationBreno Leitao1-0/+45
Update the netconsole documentation to explain the new feature that allows automatic population of the CPU number. The key changes include introducing a new section titled "CPU number auto population in userdata", explaining how to enable the CPU number auto-population feature by writing to the "populate_cpu_nr" file in the netconsole configfs hierarchy. This documentation update ensures users are aware of the new CPU number auto-population functionality and how to leverage it for better demultiplexing and visibility of parallel netconsole output.
