2025-07-09wifi: mac80211: don't complete management TX on SAE commitJohannes Berg1-0/+2
When SAE commit is sent and received in response, there's no ordering for the SAE confirm messages. As such, don't call drivers to stop listening on the channel when the confirm message is still expected. This fixes an issue if the local confirm is transmitted later than the AP's confirm, for iwlwifi (and possibly mt76) the AP's confirm would then get lost since the device isn't on the channel at the time the AP transmit the confirm. For iwlwifi at least, this also improves the overall timing of the authentication handshake (by about 15ms according to the report), likely since the session protection won't be aborted and rescheduled. Note that even before this, mgd_complete_tx() wasn't always called for each call to mgd_prepare_tx() (e.g. in the case of WEP key shared authentication), and the current drivers that have the complete callback don't seem to mind. Document this as well though.

2025-07-09wifi: cfg80211/mac80211: implement dot11ExtendedRegInfoSupportSomashekhar Puttagangaiah1-6/+28
Implement dot11ExtendedRegInfoSupport to advertise non-AP station regulatory power capability as part of regulatory connectivity element in (Re)Association request frames so that AP can achieve maximum client connectivity. Control field which was interpreted using value of 3-bits B5 to B3, now uses value of 4-bits B6 to B3 to interpret the type of AP. Hence update IEEE80211_HE_6GHZ_OPER_CTRL_REG_INFO to parse 4-bits control field. If older AP still updates only 3-bits value of control field, station can still interpret the value as per section E.2.7 of IEEE 802.11 REVme D7.0 and support the appropriate AP type. Also update IEEE80211_6GHZ_CTRL_REG_INDOOR_SP_AP as the value of standard power AP is changed to 8 instead of 4 so that AP can support both LPI AP and SP AP to maximize the connectivity with stations. For backward compatibility, keeping value 4 as old AP by limiting it to SP AP only.

2025-07-09wifi: mac80211: avoid weird state in error pathMiri Korenblit1-0/+2
If we get to the error path of ieee80211_prep_connection, for example because of a FW issue, then ieee80211_vif_set_links is called with 0. But the call to drv_change_vif_links from ieee80211_vif_update_links will probably fail as well, for the same reason. In this case, the valid_links and active_links bitmaps will be reverted to the value of the failing connection. Then, in the next connection, due to the logic of ieee80211_set_vif_links_bitmaps, valid_links will be set to the ID of the new connection assoc link, but the active_links will remain with the ID of the old connection's assoc link. If those IDs are different, we get into a weird state of valid_links and active_links being different. One of the consequences of this state is to call drv_change_vif_links with new_links as 0, since the & operation between the bitmaps will be 0. Since a removal of a link should always succeed, ignore the return value of drv_change_vif_links if it was called to only remove links, which is the case for the ieee80211_prep_connection's error path. That way, the bitmaps will not be reverted to have the value from the failing connection and will have 0, so the next connection will have a good state.

2025-07-03timekeeping: Provide ktime_get_clock_ts64()Thomas Gleixner1-0/+10
PTP implements an inline switch case for taking timestamps from various POSIX clock IDs, which already consumes quite some text space. Expanding it for auxiliary clocks really becomes too big for inlining. Provide a out of line version. The function invalidates the timestamp in case the clock is invalid. The invalidation allows to implement a validation check without the need to propagate a return value through deep existing call chains. Due to merge logistics this temporarily defines CLOCK_AUX[_LAST] if undefined, so that the plain branch, which does not contain any of the core timekeeper changes, can be pulled into the networking tree as prerequisite for the PTP side changes. These temporary defines are removed after that branch is merged into the tip::timers/ptp branch. That way the result in -next or upstream in the next merge window has zero dependencies.

2025-07-03devlink: Extend devlink rate API with traffic classes bandwidth managementCarolina Jubran2-0/+17
Introduce support for specifying relative bandwidth shares between traffic classes (TC) in the devlink-rate API. This new option allows users to allocate bandwidth across multiple traffic classes in a single command. This feature provides a more granular control over traffic management, especially for scenarios requiring Enhanced Transmission Selection. Users can now define a relative bandwidth share for each traffic class. For example, assigning share values of 20 to TC0 (TCP/UDP) and 80 to TC5 (RoCE) will result in TC0 receiving 20% and TC5 receiving 80% of the total bandwidth. The actual percentage each class receives depends on the ratio of its share value to the sum of all shares. Example: DEV=pci/0000:08:00.0 $ devlink port function rate add $DEV/vfs_group tx_share 10Gbit \ tx_max 50Gbit tc-bw 0:20 1:0 2:0 3:0 4:0 5:80 6:0 7:0 $ devlink port function rate set $DEV/vfs_group \ tc-bw 0:20 1:0 2:0 3:0 4:0 5:20 6:60 7:0 Example usage with ynl: ./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec Documentation/netlink/specs/devlink.yaml \ --do rate-set --json '{ "bus-name": "pci", "dev-name": "0000:08:00.0", "port-index": 1, "rate-tc-bws": [ {"rate-tc-index": 0, "rate-tc-bw": 50}, {"rate-tc-index": 1, "rate-tc-bw": 50}, {"rate-tc-index": 2, "rate-tc-bw": 0}, {"rate-tc-index": 3, "rate-tc-bw": 0}, {"rate-tc-index": 4, "rate-tc-bw": 0}, {"rate-tc-index": 5, "rate-tc-bw": 0}, {"rate-tc-index": 6, "rate-tc-bw": 0}, {"rate-tc-index": 7, "rate-tc-bw": 0} ] }' ./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec Documentation/netlink/specs/devlink.yaml \ --do rate-get --json '{ "bus-name": "pci", "dev-name": "0000:08:00.0", "port-index": 1 }' output for rate-get: {'bus-name': 'pci', 'dev-name': '0000:08:00.0', 'port-index': 1, 'rate-tc-bws': [{'rate-tc-bw': 50, 'rate-tc-index': 0}, {'rate-tc-bw': 50, 'rate-tc-index': 1}, {'rate-tc-bw': 0, 'rate-tc-index': 2}, {'rate-tc-bw': 0, 'rate-tc-index': 3}, {'rate-tc-bw': 0, 'rate-tc-index': 4}, {'rate-tc-bw': 0, 'rate-tc-index': 5}, {'rate-tc-bw': 0, 'rate-tc-index': 6}, {'rate-tc-bw': 0, 'rate-tc-index': 7}], 'rate-tx-max': 0, 'rate-tx-priority': 0, 'rate-tx-share': 0, 'rate-tx-weight': 0, 'rate-type': 'leaf'} Signed-off-by: Carolina Jubran <cjubran@nvidia.com> Reviewed-by: Cosmin Ratiu <cratiu@nvidia.com> Reviewed-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Tariq Toukan <tariqt@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Bloch <mbloch@nvidia.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250629142138.361537-3-mbloch@nvidia.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>

2025-07-01neighbor: Add NTF_EXT_VALIDATED flag for externally validated entriesIdo Schimmel2-1/+8
tl;dr ===== Add a new neighbor flag ("extern_valid") that can be used to indicate to the kernel that a neighbor entry was learned and determined to be valid externally. The kernel will not try to remove or invalidate such an entry, leaving these decisions to the user space control plane. This is needed for EVPN multi-homing where a neighbor entry for a multi-homed host needs to be synced across all the VTEPs among which the host is multi-homed. Background ========== In a typical EVPN multi-homing setup each host is multi-homed using a set of links called ES (Ethernet Segment, i.e., LAG) to multiple leaf switches (VTEPs). VTEPs that are connected to the same ES are called ES peers. When a neighbor entry is learned on a VTEP, it is distributed to both ES peers and remote VTEPs using EVPN MAC/IP advertisement routes. ES peers use the neighbor entry when routing traffic towards the multi-homed host and remote VTEPs use it for ARP/NS suppression. Motivation ========== If the ES link between a host and the VTEP on which the neighbor entry was locally learned goes down, the EVPN MAC/IP advertisement route will be withdrawn and the neighbor entries will be removed from both ES peers and remote VTEPs. Routing towards the multi-homed host and ARP/NS suppression can fail until another ES peer locally learns the neighbor entry and distributes it via an EVPN MAC/IP advertisement route. "draft-rbickhart-evpn-ip-mac-proxy-adv-03" [1] suggests avoiding these intermittent failures by having the ES peers install the neighbor entries as before, but also injecting EVPN MAC/IP advertisement routes with a proxy indication. When the previously mentioned ES link goes down and the original EVPN MAC/IP advertisement route is withdrawn, the ES peers will not withdraw their neighbor entries, but instead start aging timers for the proxy indication. If an ES peer locally learns the neighbor entry (i.e., it becomes "reachable"), it will restart its aging timer for the entry and emit an EVPN MAC/IP advertisement route without a proxy indication. An ES peer will stop its aging timer for the proxy indication if it observes the removal of the proxy indication from at least one of the ES peers advertising the entry. In the event that the aging timer for the proxy indication expired, an ES peer will withdraw its EVPN MAC/IP advertisement route. If the timer expired on all ES peers and they all withdrew their proxy advertisements, the neighbor entry will be completely removed from the EVPN fabric. Implementation ============== In the above scheme, when the control plane (e.g., FRR) advertises a neighbor entry with a proxy indication, it expects the corresponding entry in the data plane (i.e., the kernel) to remain valid and not be removed due to garbage collection or loss of carrier. The control plane also expects the kernel to notify it if the entry was learned locally (i.e., became "reachable") so that it will remove the proxy indication from the EVPN MAC/IP advertisement route. That is why these entries cannot be programmed with dummy states such as "permanent" or "noarp". Instead, add a new neighbor flag ("extern_valid") which indicates that the entry was learned and determined to be valid externally and should not be removed or invalidated by the kernel. The kernel can probe the entry and notify user space when it becomes "reachable" (it is initially installed as "stale"). However, if the kernel does not receive a confirmation, have it return the entry to the "stale" state instead of the "failed" state. In other words, an entry marked with the "extern_valid" flag behaves like any other dynamically learned entry other than the fact that the kernel cannot remove or invalidate it. One can argue that the "extern_valid" flag should not prevent garbage collection and that instead a neighbor entry should be programmed with both the "extern_valid" and "extern_learn" flags. There are two reasons for not doing that: 1. Unclear why a control plane would like to program an entry that the kernel cannot invalidate but can completely remove. 2. The "extern_learn" flag is used by FRR for neighbor entries learned on remote VTEPs (for ARP/NS suppression) whereas here we are concerned with local entries. This distinction is currently irrelevant for the kernel, but might be relevant in the future. Given that the flag only makes sense when the neighbor has a valid state, reject attempts to add a neighbor with an invalid state and with this flag set. For example: # ip neigh add 192.0.2.1 nud none dev br0.10 extern_valid Error: Cannot create externally validated neighbor with an invalid state. # ip neigh add 192.0.2.1 lladdr 00:11:22:33:44:55 nud stale dev br0.10 extern_valid # ip neigh replace 192.0.2.1 nud failed dev br0.10 extern_valid Error: Cannot mark neighbor as externally validated with an invalid state. The above means that a neighbor cannot be created with the "extern_valid" flag and flags such as "use" or "managed" as they result in a neighbor being created with an invalid state ("none") and immediately getting probed: # ip neigh add 192.0.2.1 lladdr 00:11:22:33:44:55 nud stale dev br0.10 extern_valid use Error: Cannot create externally validated neighbor with an invalid state. However, these flags can be used together with "extern_valid" after the neighbor was created with a valid state: # ip neigh add 192.0.2.1 lladdr 00:11:22:33:44:55 nud stale dev br0.10 extern_valid # ip neigh replace 192.0.2.1 lladdr 00:11:22:33:44:55 nud stale dev br0.10 extern_valid use One consequence of preventing the kernel from invalidating a neighbor entry is that by default it will only try to determine reachability using unicast probes. This can be changed using the "mcast_resolicit" sysctl: # sysctl net.ipv4.neigh.br0/10.mcast_resolicit 0 # tcpdump -nn -e -i br0.10 -Q out arp & # ip neigh replace 192.0.2.1 lladdr 00:11:22:33:44:55 nud stale dev br0.10 extern_valid use 62:50:1d:11:93:6f > 00:11:22:33:44:55, ethertype ARP (0x0806), length 42: Request who-has 192.0.2.1 tell 192.0.2.2, length 28 62:50:1d:11:93:6f > 00:11:22:33:44:55, ethertype ARP (0x0806), length 42: Request who-has 192.0.2.1 tell 192.0.2.2, length 28 62:50:1d:11:93:6f > 00:11:22:33:44:55, ethertype ARP (0x0806), length 42: Request who-has 192.0.2.1 tell 192.0.2.2, length 28 # sysctl -wq net.ipv4.neigh.br0/10.mcast_resolicit=3 # ip neigh replace 192.0.2.1 lladdr 00:11:22:33:44:55 nud stale dev br0.10 extern_valid use 62:50:1d:11:93:6f > 00:11:22:33:44:55, ethertype ARP (0x0806), length 42: Request who-has 192.0.2.1 tell 192.0.2.2, length 28 62:50:1d:11:93:6f > 00:11:22:33:44:55, ethertype ARP (0x0806), length 42: Request who-has 192.0.2.1 tell 192.0.2.2, length 28 62:50:1d:11:93:6f > 00:11:22:33:44:55, ethertype ARP (0x0806), length 42: Request who-has 192.0.2.1 tell 192.0.2.2, length 28 62:50:1d:11:93:6f > ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, ethertype ARP (0x0806), length 42: Request who-has 192.0.2.1 tell 192.0.2.2, length 28 62:50:1d:11:93:6f > ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, ethertype ARP (0x0806), length 42: Request who-has 192.0.2.1 tell 192.0.2.2, length 28 62:50:1d:11:93:6f > ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, ethertype ARP (0x0806), length 42: Request who-has 192.0.2.1 tell 192.0.2.2, length 28 iproute2 patches can be found here [2].

2025-06-26net: ethtool: remove the data argument from ethtool_notify()Jakub Kicinski1-3/+2
ethtool_notify() takes a const void *data argument, which presumably was intended to pass information from the call site to the subcommand handler. This argument currently has no users. Expecting the data to be subcommand-specific has two complications. Complication #1 is that its not plumbed thru any of the standardized callbacks. It gets propagated to ethnl_default_notify() where it remains unused. Coming from the ethnl_default_set_doit() side we pass in NULL, because how could we have a command specific attribute in a generic handler. Complication #2 is that we expect the ethtool_notify() callers to know what attribute type to pass in. Again, the data pointer is untyped. RSS will need to pass the context ID to the notifications. I think it's a better design if the "subcommand" exports its own typed interface and constructs the appropriate argument struct (which will be req_info). Remove the unused data argument from ethtool_notify() but retain it in a new internal helper which subcommands can use to build a typed interface.
