Remove DECnet support from kernel

2022-08-22T13:26:30+00:00

DECnet is an obsolete network protocol that receives more attention from kernel janitors than users. It belongs in computer protocol history museum not in Linux kernel. It has been "Orphaned" in kernel since 2010. The iproute2 support for DECnet was dropped in 5.0 release. The documentation link on Sourceforge says it is abandoned there as well. Leave the UAPI alone to keep userspace programs compiling. This means that there is still an empty neighbour table for AF_DECNET. The table of /proc/sys/net entries was updated to match current directories and reformatted to be alphabetical.

page_pool: Add allocation stats

2022-03-03T09:55:28+00:00

Add per-pool statistics counters for the allocation path of a page pool. These stats are incremented in softirq context, so no locking or per-cpu variables are needed. This code is disabled by default and a kernel config option is provided for users who wish to enable them. The statistics added are: - fast: successful fast path allocations - slow: slow path order-0 allocations - slow_high_order: slow path high order allocations - empty: ptr ring is empty, so a slow path allocation was forced. - refill: an allocation which triggered a refill of the cache - waive: pages obtained from the ptr ring that cannot be added to the cache due to a NUMA mismatch.

net/core: disable NET_RX_BUSY_POLL on PREEMPT_RT

2021-10-01T22:45:10+00:00

napi_busy_loop() disables preemption and performs a NAPI poll. We can't acquire sleeping locks with disabled preemption which would be required while __napi_poll() invokes the callback of the driver. A threaded interrupt performing the NAPI-poll can be preempted on PREEMPT_RT. A RT thread on another CPU may observe NAPIF_STATE_SCHED bit set and busy-spin until it is cleared or its spin time runs out. Given it is the task with the highest priority it will never observe the NEED_RESCHED bit set. In this case the time is better spent by simply sleeping. The NET_RX_BUSY_POLL is disabled by default (the system wide sysctls for poll/read are set to zero). Disabling NET_RX_BUSY_POLL on PREEMPT_RT to avoid wrong locking context in case it is used.

mctp: Add MCTP base

bpf, kconfig: Add consolidated menu entry for bpf with core options

2021-05-11T20:56:16+00:00

Right now, all core BPF related options are scattered in different Kconfig locations mainly due to historic reasons. Moving forward, lets add a proper subsystem entry under ... General setup ---> BPF subsystem ---> ... in order to have all knobs in a single location and thus ease BPF related configuration. Networking related bits such as sockmap are out of scope for the general setup and therefore better suited to remain in net/Kconfig.

net: add generic selftest support

Port some parts of the stmmac selftest and reuse it as basic generic selftest library. This patch was tested with following combinations: - iMX6DL FEC -> AT8035 - iMX6DL FEC -> SJA1105Q switch -> KSZ8081 - iMX6DL FEC -> SJA1105Q switch -> KSZ9031 - AR9331 ag71xx -> AR9331 PHY - AR9331 ag71xx -> AR9331 switch -> AR9331 PHY Signed-off-by: Oleksij Rempel Signed-off-by: David S.

net: add CONFIG_PCPU_DEV_REFCNT

2021-03-19T20:38:46+00:00

I was working on a syzbot issue, claiming one device could not be dismantled because its refcount was -1 unregister_netdevice: waiting for sit0 to become free. Usage count = -1 It would be nice if syzbot could trigger a warning at the time this reference count became negative. This patch adds CONFIG_PCPU_DEV_REFCNT options which defaults to per cpu variables (as before this patch) on SMP builds. v2: free_dev label in alloc_netdev_mqs() is moved to avoid a compiler warning (-Wunused-label), as reported by kernel test robot Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.

bpf: Clean up sockmap related Kconfigs

2021-02-26T20:28:03+00:00

As suggested by John, clean up sockmap related Kconfigs: Reduce the scope of CONFIG_BPF_STREAM_PARSER down to TCP stream parser, to reflect its name. Make the rest sockmap code simply depend on CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL and CONFIG_INET, the latter is still needed at this point because of TCP/UDP proto update. And leave CONFIG_NET_SOCK_MSG untouched, as it is used by non-sockmap cases.
