<content type='text'>
The RSS hash type specifies what portion of packet data NIC hardware used
when calculating RSS hash value. The RSS types are focused on Internet
traffic protocols at OSI layers L3 and L4. L2 (e.g. ARP) often get hash
value zero and no RSS type. For L3 focused on IPv4 vs. IPv6, and L4
primarily TCP vs UDP, but some hardware supports SCTP.

Hardware RSS types are differently encoded for each hardware NIC. Most
hardware represent RSS hash type as a number. Determining L3 vs L4 often
requires a mapping table as there often isn't a pattern or sorting
according to ISO layer.

The patch introduce a XDP RSS hash type (enum xdp_rss_hash_type) that
contains both BITs for the L3/L4 types, and combinations to be used by
drivers for their mapping tables. The enum xdp_rss_type_bits get exposed
to BPF via BTF, and it is up to the BPF-programmer to match using these
defines.

This proposal change the kfunc API bpf_xdp_metadata_rx_hash() adding
a pointer value argument for provide the RSS hash type.
Change signature for all xmo_rx_hash calls in drivers to make it compile.

The RSS type implementations for each driver comes as separate patches.

<title>net: tunnels: annotate lockless accesses to dev-&gt;needed_headroom</title>

IP tunnels can apparently update dev-&gt;needed_headroom
in their xmit path.

This patch takes care of three tunnels xmit, and also the
core LL_RESERVED_SPACE() and LL_RESERVED_SPACE_EXTRA()
helpers.

More changes might be needed for completeness.

That really was meant to be a per netns attribute from the beginning.

The idea is that once proper isolation is in place in the main
namespace, additional demux in the child namespaces will be redundant.
Let's make child netns default rps mask empty by default.

To avoid bloating the netns with a possibly large cpumask, allocate
it on-demand during the first write operation.

<title>devlink: Fix netdev notifier chain corruption</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b20b8aec6ffc07bb547966b356780cd344f20f5b</id>
<content type='text'>
Cited commit changed devlink to register its netdev notifier block on
the global netdev notifier chain instead of on the per network namespace
one.

However, when changing the network namespace of the devlink instance,
devlink still tries to unregister its notifier block from the chain of
the old namespace and register it on the chain of the new namespace.
This results in corruption of the notifier chains, as the same notifier
block is registered on two different chains: The global one and the per
network namespace one. In turn, this causes other problems such as the
inability to dismantle namespaces due to netdev reference count issues.

Fix by preventing devlink from moving its notifier block between
namespaces.

Reproducer:

 # echo "10 1" &gt; /sys/bus/netdevsim/new_device
 # ip netns add test123
 # devlink dev reload netdevsim/netdevsim10 netns test123
 # ip netns del test123
 [   71.935619] unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 2
 [   71.938348] leaked reference.

If RPS is enabled, this allows configuring a default rps
mask, which is effective since receive queue creation time.

A default RPS mask allows the system admin to ensure proper
isolation, avoiding races at network namespace or device
creation time.

The default RPS mask is initially empty, and can be
modified via a newly added sysctl entry.

<content type='text'>
Add a Netlink spec-compatible family for netdevs.
This is a very simple implementation without much
thought going into it.

It allows us to reap all the benefits of Netlink specs,
one can use the generic client to issue the commands:

  $ ./cli.py --spec netdev.yaml --dump dev_get
  [{'ifindex': 1, 'xdp-features': set()},
   {'ifindex': 2, 'xdp-features': {'basic', 'ndo-xmit', 'redirect'}},
   {'ifindex': 3, 'xdp-features': {'rx-sg'}}]

the generic python library does not have flags-by-name
support, yet, but we also don't have to carry strings
in the messages, as user space can get the names from
the spec.

<title>net: add gso_ipv4_max_size and gro_ipv4_max_size per device</title>

<id>urn:sha1:9eefedd58ae1daece2ba907849a44db2941fb4b0</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch introduces gso_ipv4_max_size and gro_ipv4_max_size
per device and adds netlink attributes for them, so that IPV4
BIG TCP can be guarded by a separate tunable in the next patch.

To not break the old application using "gso/gro_max_size" for
IPv4 GSO packets, this patch updates "gso/gro_ipv4_max_size"
in netif_set_gso/gro_max_size() if the new size isn't greater
than GSO_LEGACY_MAX_SIZE, so that nothing will change even if
userspace doesn't realize the new netlink attributes.
