net.ipv4.nexthop_compat_mode was added when nexthop objects were added to
provide the view of nexthop objects through the usual lens of the route
UAPI. As nexthop objects evolved, the information provided through this
lens became incomplete. For example, details of resilient nexthop groups
are obviously omitted.
Now that 16-bit nexthop group weights are a thing, the 8-bit UAPI cannot
convey the >8-bit weight accurately. Instead of inventing workarounds for
an obsolete interface, just document the expectations of inaccuracy.

net_dim() is currently passed a struct dim_sample argument by value.
struct dim_sample is 24 bytes. Since this is greater 16 bytes, x86-64
passes it on the stack. All callers have already initialized dim_sample
on the stack, so passing it by value requires pushing a duplicated copy
to the stack. Either witing to the stack and immediately reading it, or
perhaps dereferencing addresses relative to the stack pointer in a chain
of push instructions, seems to perform quite poorly.
In a heavy TCP workload, mlx5e_handle_rx_dim() consumes 3% of CPU time,
94% of which is attributed to the first push instruction to copy
dim_sample on the stack for the call to net_dim():
// Call ktime_get()
0.26 |4ead2: call 4ead7 <mlx5e_handle_rx_dim+0x47>
// Pass the address of struct dim in %rdi
|4ead7: lea 0x3d0(%rbx),%rdi
// Set dim_sample.pkt_ctr
|4eade: mov %r13d,0x8(%rsp)
// Set dim_sample.byte_ctr
|4eae3: mov %r12d,0xc(%rsp)
// Set dim_sample.event_ctr
0.15 |4eae8: mov %bp,0x10(%rsp)
// Duplicate dim_sample on the stack
94.16 |4eaed: push 0x10(%rsp)
2.79 |4eaf1: push 0x10(%rsp)
0.07 |4eaf5: push %rax
// Call net_dim()
0.21 |4eaf6: call 4eafb <mlx5e_handle_rx_dim+0x6b>
To allow the caller to reuse the struct dim_sample already on the stack,
pass the struct dim_sample by reference to net_dim().

one as we have not been able to send one earlier. We have also some
patches affecting other subsystems: in staging we deleted the rtl8192e

file_operations memory; both were acked by GregKH.
Because of the lib80211/libipw move there were quite a lot of
conflicts and to solve those we decided to merge net-next into
wireless-next.
Currently there's one conflict in
Documentation/networking/net_cachelines/net_device.rst. To fix that
just remove the iw_public_data line:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241011121014.674661a0@canb.auug.org.au/

Add a persistent NAPI config area for NAPI configuration to the core.
Drivers opt-in to setting the persistent config for a NAPI by passing an
index when calling netif_napi_add_config.
napi_config is allocated in alloc_netdev_mqs, freed in free_netdev
(after the NAPIs are deleted).
Drivers which call netif_napi_add_config will have persistent per-NAPI
settings: NAPI IDs, gro_flush_timeout, and defer_hard_irq settings.
Per-NAPI settings are saved in napi_disable and restored in napi_enable.

Introduce the basic infrastructure to implement the net-shaper
core functionality. Each network devices carries a net-shaper cache,
the NL get() operation fetches the data from such cache.
The cache is initially empty, will be fill by the set()/group()
operation implemented later and is destroyed at device cleanup time.
The net_shaper_fill_handle(), net_shaper_ctx_init(), and
net_shaper_generic_pre() implementations handle generic index type
attributes, despite the current caller always pass a constant value
to avoid more noise in later patches using them with different

SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_ID socket option flag gives a way to correlate TX
timestamps and packets sent via socket. Unfortunately, there is no way
to reliably predict socket timestamp ID value in case of error returned
by sendmsg. For UDP sockets it's impossible because of lockless
nature of UDP transmit, several threads may send packets in parallel. In
case of RAW sockets MSG_MORE option makes things complicated. More
details are in the conversation [1].
This patch adds new control message type to give user-space
software an opportunity to control the mapping between packets and
values by providing ID with each sendmsg for UDP sockets.
The documentation is also added in this patch.

The iptables example was added in commit d2f26037a3 (netfilter: Add
documentation for tproxy, 2008-10-08), but xt_socket 'transparent'
option was added in commit a31e1ffd22 (netfilter: xt_socket: added new
revision of the 'socket' match supporting flags, 2009-06-09).
Now add the 'transparent' option to the iptables example to ignore
non-transparent sockets, which is also consistent with the nft example.

ENA Express metrics, called `ena_srd` are exposed to
customers via `ethtool`.
The metrics allow customers to check the configuration
(mode), tx/rx counters as well as resource utilization.
The documentation is also updated to provide a general
explanation about ENA Express as well as links for further
information about metrics and configurations.

The IEEE 802.3cg project defines two 10 Mbit/s PHYs operating over a
single pair of conductors. The 10BASE-T1L (Clause 146) is a long reach
PHY supporting full duplex point-to-point operation over 1 km of single
balanced pair of conductors. The 10BASE-T1S (Clause 147) is a short reach
PHY supporting full / half duplex point-to-point operation over 15 m of
single balanced pair of conductors, or half duplex multidrop bus
operation over 25 m of single balanced pair of conductors.
Furthermore, the IEEE 802.3cg project defines the new Physical Layer
Collision Avoidance (PLCA) Reconciliation Sublayer (Clause 148) meant to
provide improved determinism to the CSMA/CD media access method. PLCA
works in conjunction with the 10BASE-T1S PHY operating in multidrop mode.
The aforementioned PHYs are intended to cover the low-speed / low-cost
applications in industrial and automotive environment. The large number
of pins (16) required by the MII interface, which is specified by the
IEEE 802.3 in Clause 22, is one of the major cost factors that need to be
addressed to fulfil this objective.
The MAC-PHY solution integrates an IEEE Clause 4 MAC and a 10BASE-T1x PHY
exposing a low pin count Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) to the host
microcontroller. This also enables the addition of Ethernet functionality
to existing low-end microcontrollers which do not integrate a MAC
controller.

An MPTCP firewall blackhole can be detected if the following SYN
retransmission after a fallback to "plain" TCP is accepted.
In case of blackhole, a similar technique to the one in place with TFO
is now used: MPTCP can be disabled for a certain period of time, 1h by
default. This time period will grow exponentially when more blackhole
issues get detected right after MPTCP is re-enabled and will reset to
the initial value when the blackhole issue goes away.
The blackhole period can be modified thanks to a new sysctl knob:
blackhole_timeout. Two new MIB counters help understanding what's
happening:
- 'Blackhole', incremented when a blackhole is detected.
- 'MPCapableSYNTXDisabled', incremented when an MPTCP connection
directly falls back to TCP during the blackhole period.
Because the technique is inspired by the one used by TFO, an important
part of the new code is similar to what can find in tcp_fastopen.c, with
some adaptations to the MPTCP case.

HW-Managed Flow Steering in mlx5 driver
Yevgeny Kliteynik says:
=======================
1. Overview
-----------
ConnectX devices support packet matching, modification, and redirection.
This functionality is referred as Flow Steering.
To configure a steering rule, the rule is written to the device-owned
memory. This memory is accessed and cached by the device when processing
a packet.
The first implementation of Flow Steering was done in FW, and it is
referred in the mlx5 driver as Device-Managed Flow Steering (DMFS).
Later we introduced SW-managed Flow Steering (SWS or SMFS), where the
driver is writing directly to the device's configuration memory (ICM)
through RC QP using RDMA operations (RDMA-read and RDAM-write), thus
achieving higher rates of rule insertion/deletion.
Now we introduce a new flow steering implementation: HW-Managed Flow
Steering (HWS or HMFS).
In this new approach, the driver is configuring steering rules directly
to the HW using the WQs with a special new type of WQE. This way we can
reach higher rule insertion/deletion rate with much lower CPU utilization
compared to SWS.
The key benefits of HWS as opposed to SWS:
+ HW manages the steering decision tree
- HW calculates CRC for each entry
- HW handles tree hash collisions
- HW & FW manage objects refcount
+ HW keeps cache coherency:
- HW provides tree access locking and synchronization
- HW provides notification on completion
+ Insertion rate isn’t affected by background traffic
- Dedicated HW components that handle insertion
2. Performance
--------------
Measuring Connection Tracking with simple IPv4 flows w/o NAT, we
are able to get ~5 times more flows offloaded per second using HWS.
3. Configuration
----------------
The enablement of HWS mode in eswitch manager is done using the same
devlink param that is already used for switching between FW-managed
steering and SW-managed steering modes:
# devlink dev param set pci/<PCI_ID> name flow_steering_mode cmod runtime value hmfs
4. Upstream Submission
----------------------
HWS support consists of 3 main components:
+ Steering:
- The lower layer that exposes HWS API to upper layers and implements
all the management of flow steering building blocks
+ FS-Core
- Implementation of fs_hws layer to enable fs_core to use HWS instead
of FW or SW steering
- Create HW steering action pools to utilize the ability of HWS to
share steering actions among different rules
- Add support for configuring HWS mode through devlink command,
similar to configuring SWS mode
+ Connection Tracking
- Implementation of CT support for HW steering
- Hooks up the CT ops for the new steering mode and uses the HWS API
to implement connection tracking.
Because of the large number of patches, we need to perform the submission
in several separate patch series. This series is the first submission that
lays the ground work for the next submissions, where an actual user of HWS
will be added.

introduce a new flag SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_RX_FILTER in the receive
path. User can set it with SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SOFTWARE to filter
out rx software timestamp report, especially after a process turns on
netstamp_needed_key which can time stamp every incoming skb.
Previously, we found out if an application starts first which turns on
netstamp_needed_key, then another one only passing SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SOFTWARE
could also get rx timestamp. Now we handle this case by introducing this
new flag without breaking users.
Quoting Willem to explain why we need the flag:
"why a process would want to request software timestamp reporting, but
not receive software timestamp generation. The only use I see is when
the application does request
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SOFTWARE | SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SOFTWARE."
Similarly, this new flag could also be used for hardware case where we
can set it with SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE, then we won't receive
hardware receive timestamp.
Another thing about errqueue in this patch I have a few words to say:
In this case, we need to handle the egress path carefully, or else
reporting the tx timestamp will fail. Egress path and ingress path will
finally call sock_recv_timestamp(). We have to distinguish them.
Errqueue is a good indicator to reflect the flow direction.
