<content type='text'>
skb_seq_read iterates over an skb, returning pointer and length of
the next data range with each call.

It relies on kmap_atomic to access highmem pages when needed.

An skb frag may be backed by a compound page, but kmap_atomic maps
only a single page. There are not enough kmap slots to always map all
pages concurrently.

Instead, if kmap_atomic is needed, iterate over each page.

As this increases the number of calls, avoid this unless needed.
The necessary condition is captured in skb_frag_must_loop.

I tried to make the change as obvious as possible. It should be easy
to verify that nothing changes if skb_frag_must_loop returns false.

Tested:
  On an x86 platform with
    CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y
    CONFIG_DEBUG_KMAP_LOCAL_FORCE_MAP=y
    CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_STRING=y

  Run
    ip link set dev lo mtu 1500
    iptables -A OUTPUT -m string --string 'badstring' -algo bm -j ACCEPT
    dd if=/dev/urandom of=in bs=1M count=20
    nc -l -p 8000 &gt; /dev/null &amp;
    nc -w 1 -q 0 localhost 8000 &lt; in

Skb frags may be backed by highmem and/or compound pages. Highmem
pages need kmap_atomic mappings to access. But kmap_atomic maps a
single page, not the entire compound page.

skb_foreach_page iterates over an skb frag, in one step in the common
case, page by page only if kmap_atomic must be called for each page.
The decision logic is captured in skb_frag_must_loop.

CONFIG_DEBUG_KMAP_LOCAL_FORCE_MAP extends kmap from highmem to all
pages, to increase code coverage.

Extend skb_frag_must_loop to this new condition.

It turns out that usage of skb extensions can cause memory leaks. Ido
Schimmel reported: "[...] there are instances that blindly overwrite
'skb-&gt;extensions' by invoking skb_copy_header() after __alloc_skb()."

Therefore, give up on using skb extensions for KCOV handle, and instead
directly store kcov_handle in sk_buff.

The previous Kconfig patch led to some other build errors as
reported by the 0day bot and my own overnight build testing.

These are all in &lt;linux/skbuff.h&gt; when KCOV is enabled but
SKB_EXTENSIONS is not enabled, so fix those by combining those conditions
in the header file.

<id>urn:sha1:6370cc3bbd8a0f9bf975b013781243ab147876c6</id>
<content type='text'>
Remote KCOV coverage collection enables coverage-guided fuzzing of the
code that is not reachable during normal system call execution. It is
especially helpful for fuzzing networking subsystems, where it is
common to perform packet handling in separate work queues even for the
packets that originated directly from the user space.

Enable coverage-guided frame injection by adding kcov remote handle to
skb extensions. Default initialization in __alloc_skb and
__build_skb_around ensures that no socket buffer that was generated
during a system call will be missed.

Code that is of interest and that performs packet processing should be
annotated with kcov_remote_start()/kcov_remote_stop().

An alternative approach is to determine kcov_handle solely on the
basis of the device/interface that received the specific socket
buffer. However, in this case it would be impossible to distinguish
between packets that originated during normal background network
processes or were intentionally injected from the user space.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:

 - Add redirect_neigh() BPF packet redirect helper, allowing to limit
   stack traversal in common container configs and improving TCP
   back-pressure.

   Daniel reports ~10Gbps =&gt; ~15Gbps single stream TCP performance gain.

 - Expand netlink policy support and improve policy export to user
   space. (Ge)netlink core performs request validation according to
   declared policies. Expand the expressiveness of those policies
   (min/max length and bitmasks). Allow dumping policies for particular
   commands. This is used for feature discovery by user space (instead
   of kernel version parsing or trial and error).

 - Support IGMPv3/MLDv2 multicast listener discovery protocols in
   bridge.

 - Allow more than 255 IPv4 multicast interfaces.

 - Add support for Type of Service (ToS) reflection in SYN/SYN-ACK
   packets of TCPv6.

 - In Multi-patch TCP (MPTCP) support concurrent transmission of data on
   multiple subflows in a load balancing scenario. Enhance advertising
   addresses via the RM_ADDR/ADD_ADDR options.

 - Support SMC-Dv2 version of SMC, which enables multi-subnet
   deployments.

 - Allow more calls to same peer in RxRPC.

 - Support two new Controller Area Network (CAN) protocols - CAN-FD and
   ISO 15765-2:2016.

 - Add xfrm/IPsec compat layer, solving the 32bit user space on 64bit
   kernel problem.

 - Add TC actions for implementing MPLS L2 VPNs.

 - Improve nexthop code - e.g. handle various corner cases when nexthop
   objects are removed from groups better, skip unnecessary
   notifications and make it easier to offload nexthops into HW by
   converting to a blocking notifier.

 - Support adding and consuming TCP header options by BPF programs,
   opening the doors for easy experimental and deployment-specific TCP
   option use.

 - Reorganize TCP congestion control (CC) initialization to simplify
   life of TCP CC implemented in BPF.

 - Add support for shipping BPF programs with the kernel and loading
   them early on boot via the User Mode Driver mechanism, hence reusing
   all the user space infra we have.

 - Support sleepable BPF programs, initially targeting LSM and tracing.

 - Add bpf_d_path() helper for returning full path for given 'struct
   path'.

 - Make bpf_tail_call compatible with bpf-to-bpf calls.

 - Allow BPF programs to call map_update_elem on sockmaps.

 - Add BPF Type Format (BTF) support for type and enum discovery, as
   well as support for using BTF within the kernel itself (current use
   is for pretty printing structures).

 - Support listing and getting information about bpf_links via the bpf
   syscall.

 - Enhance kernel interfaces around NIC firmware update. Allow
   specifying overwrite mask to control if settings etc. are reset
   during update; report expected max time operation may take to users;
   support firmware activation without machine reboot incl. limits of
   how much impact reset may have (e.g. dropping link or not).

 - Extend ethtool configuration interface to report IEEE-standard
   counters, to limit the need for per-vendor logic in user space.

 - Adopt or extend devlink use for debug, monitoring, fw update in many
   drivers (dsa loop, ice, ionic, sja1105, qed, mlxsw, mv88e6xxx,
   dpaa2-eth).

 - In mlxsw expose critical and emergency SFP module temperature alarms.
   Refactor port buffer handling to make the defaults more suitable and
   support setting these values explicitly via the DCBNL interface.

 - Add XDP support for Intel's igb driver.

 - Support offloading TC flower classification and filtering rules to
   mscc_ocelot switches.

 - Add PTP support for Marvell Octeontx2 and PP2.2 hardware, as well as
   fixed interval period pulse generator and one-step timestamping in
   dpaa-eth.

 - Add support for various auth offloads in WiFi APs, e.g. SAE (WPA3)
   offload.

 - Add Lynx PHY/PCS MDIO module, and convert various drivers which have
   this HW to use it. Convert mvpp2 to split PCS.

 - Support Marvell Prestera 98DX3255 24-port switch ASICs, as well as
   7-port Mediatek MT7531 IP.

 - Add initial support for QCA6390 and IPQ6018 in ath11k WiFi driver,
   and wcn3680 support in wcn36xx.

 - Improve performance for packets which don't require much offloads on
   recent Mellanox NICs by 20% by making multiple packets share a
   descriptor entry.

 - Move chelsio inline crypto drivers (for TLS and IPsec) from the
   crypto subtree to drivers/net. Move MDIO drivers out of the phy
   directory.

 - Clean up a lot of W=1 warnings, reportedly the actively developed
   subsections of networking drivers should now build W=1 warning free.

 - Make sure drivers don't use in_interrupt() to dynamically adapt their
   code. Convert tasklets to use new tasklet_setup API (sadly this
   conversion is not yet complete).

<content type='text'>
Implement TCA_VLAN_ACT_POP_ETH and TCA_VLAN_ACT_PUSH_ETH, to
respectively pop and push a base Ethernet header at the beginning of a
frame.

POP_ETH is just a matter of pulling ETH_HLEN bytes. VLAN tags, if any,
must be stripped before calling POP_ETH.

PUSH_ETH is restricted to skbs with no mac_header, and only the MAC
addresses can be configured. The Ethertype is automatically set from
skb-&gt;protocol. These restrictions ensure that all skb's fields remain
consistent, so that this action can't confuse other part of the
networking stack (like GSO).

Since openvswitch already had these actions, consolidate the code in
skbuff.c (like for vlan and mpls push/pop).

<id>urn:sha1:b4ab31414970a7a03a5d55d75083f2c101a30592</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a redirect_neigh() helper as redirect() drop-in replacement
for the xmit side. Main idea for the helper is to be very similar
in semantics to the latter just that the skb gets injected into
the neighboring subsystem in order to let the stack do the work
it knows best anyway to populate the L2 addresses of the packet
and then hand over to dev_queue_xmit() as redirect() does.

This solves two bigger items: i) skbs don't need to go up to the
stack on the host facing veth ingress side for traffic egressing
the container to achieve the same for populating L2 which also
has the huge advantage that ii) the skb-&gt;sk won't get orphaned in
ip_rcv_core() when entering the IP routing layer on the host stack.

Given that skb-&gt;sk neither gets orphaned when crossing the netns
as per 9c4c325252c5 ("skbuff: preserve sock reference when scrubbing
the skb.") the helper can then push the skbs directly to the phys
device where FQ scheduler can do its work and TCP stack gets proper
backpressure given we hold on to skb-&gt;sk as long as skb is still
residing in queues.

With the helper used in BPF data path to then push the skb to the
phys device, I observed a stable/consistent TCP_STREAM improvement
on veth devices for traffic going container -&gt; host -&gt; host -&gt;
container from ~10Gbps to ~15Gbps for a single stream in my test
environment.
