Commit a12ba19269d7 ("net/mlx5: Update Kconfig parameter documentation")
adds documentation on Kconfig options for the mlx5 driver. It refers to the
config MLX5_EN_MACSEC for MACSec offloading, but the config is actually
called MLX5_MACSEC.
Fix the reference to the right config name in the documentation.

After the cops driver is removed, ipddp is now the only
CONFIG_DEV_APPLETALK but as far as I can tell, this also has no users
and can be removed, making appletalk support purely based on ethertalk,
using ethernet hardware.

The COPS Appletalk support is very old, never said to actually work
properly, and the firmware code for the devices are under a very suspect
license. Remove it all to clear up the license issue, if it is still
needed and actually used by anyone, we can add it back later once the
license is cleared up.

This change adds a sysctl to opt-out of RFC4862 section 5.5.3e's valid
lifetime derivation mechanism.
RFC4862 section 5.5.3e prescribes that the valid lifetime in a Router
Advertisement PIO shall be ignored if it less than 2 hours and to reset
the lifetime of the corresponding address to 2 hours. An in-progress
6man draft (see draft-ietf-6man-slaac-renum-07 section 4.2) is currently
looking to remove this mechanism. While this draft has not been moving
particularly quickly for other reasons, there is widespread consensus on
section 4.2 which updates RFC4862 section 5.5.3e.

Currently, skbs generated by pktgen always have their reference count
incremented before transmission, causing their reference count to be
always greater than 1, leading to two issues:
1. Only the code paths for shared skbs can be tested.
2. In certain situations, skbs can only be released by pktgen.
To enhance testing comprehensiveness, we are introducing the "SHARED"
flag to indicate whether an SKB is shared. This flag is enabled by
default, aligning with the current behavior. However, disabling this
flag allows skbs with a reference count of 1 to be transmitted.
So we can test non-shared skbs and code paths where skbs are released
within the stack.

This idea came after a particular workload requested
the quickack attribute set on routes, and a performance
drop was noticed for large bulk transfers.
For high throughput flows, it is best to use one cpu
running the user thread issuing socket system calls,
and a separate cpu to process incoming packets from BH context.
(With TSO/GRO, bottleneck is usually the 'user' cpu)
Problem is the user thread can spend a lot of time while holding
the socket lock, forcing BH handler to queue most of incoming
packets in the socket backlog.
Whenever the user thread releases the socket lock, it must first
process all accumulated packets in the backlog, potentially
adding latency spikes. Due to flood mitigation, having too many
packets in the backlog increases chance of unexpected drops.
Backlog processing unfortunately shifts a fair amount of cpu cycles
from the BH cpu to the 'user' cpu, thus reducing max throughput.
This patch takes advantage of the backlog processing,
and the fact that ACK are mostly cumulative.
The idea is to detect we are in the backlog processing
and defer all eligible ACK into a single one,
sent from tcp_release_cb().
This saves cpu cycles on both sides, and network resources.
Performance of a single TCP flow on a 200Gbit NIC:
- Throughput is increased by 20% (100Gbit -> 120Gbit).
- Number of generated ACK per second shrinks from 240,000 to 40,000.
- Number of backlog drops per second shrinks from 230 to 0.
Benchmark context:
- Regular netperf TCP_STREAM (no zerocopy)
- Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8481C (Saphire Rapids)
- MAX_SKB_FRAGS = 17 (~60KB per GRO packet)
This feature is guarded by a new sysctl, and enabled by default:

Implement devlink port function commands to enable / disable IPsec
packet offloads. This is used to control the IPsec capability of the
device.
When ipsec_offload is enabled for a VF, it prevents adding IPsec packet
offloads on the PF, because the two cannot be active simultaneously due
to HW constraints. Conversely, if there are any active IPsec packet
offloads on the PF, it's not allowed to enable ipsec_packet on a VF,
until PF IPsec offloads are cleared.

In SCTP protocol, it is using the same timer (T2 timer) for SHUTDOWN and
SHUTDOWN_ACK retransmission. However in sctp conntrack the default timeout
value for SCTP_CONNTRACK_SHUTDOWN_ACK_SENT state is 3 secs while it's 300
msecs for SCTP_CONNTRACK_SHUTDOWN_SEND/RECV state.
As Paolo Valerio noticed, this might cause unwanted expiration of the ct
entry. In my test, with 1s tc netem delay set on the NAT path, after the
SHUTDOWN is sent, the sctp ct entry enters SCTP_CONNTRACK_SHUTDOWN_SEND
state. However, due to 300ms (too short) delay, when the SHUTDOWN_ACK is
sent back from the peer, the sctp ct entry has expired and been deleted,
and then the SHUTDOWN_ACK has to be dropped.
Also, it is confusing these two sysctl options always show 0 due to all
timeout values using sec as unit:
net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_sctp_timeout_shutdown_recd = 0
net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_sctp_timeout_shutdown_sent = 0
This patch fixes it by also using 3 secs for sctp shutdown send and recv
state in sctp conntrack, which is also RTO.initial value in SCTP protocol.
Note that the very short time value for SCTP_CONNTRACK_SHUTDOWN_SEND/RECV
was probably used for a rare scenario where SHUTDOWN is sent on 1st path
but SHUTDOWN_ACK is replied on 2nd path, then a new connection started
immediately on 1st path. So this patch also moves from SHUTDOWN_SEND/RECV
to CLOSE when receiving INIT in the ORIGINAL direction.

A new check for the tx devlink health reporter is introduced for
determining when the PTP port timestamping SQ is considered unhealthy. If
there are enough CQEs considered never to be delivered, the space that can
be utilized on the SQ decreases significantly, impacting performance and
usability of the SQ. The health reporter is triggered when the number of
likely never delivered port timestamping CQEs that utilize the space of the
PTP SQ is greater than 93.75% of the total capacity of the SQ. A devlink
health reporter recover method is also provided for this specific TX error
context that restarts the PTP SQ.

Use a map structure for associating CQEs containing port timestamping
information with the appropriate skb. Track order of WQEs submitted using a
FIFO. Check if the corresponding port timestamping CQEs from the lookup
values in the FIFO are considered dropped due to time elapsed. Return the
lookup value to a freelist after consuming the skb. Reuse the freed lookup
in future WQE submission iterations.
The map structure uses an integer identifier for the key and returns an skb
corresponding to that identifier. Embed the integer identifier in the WQE
submitted to the WQ for the transmit path when the SQ is a PTP (port
timestamping) SQ. The embedded identifier can then be queried using a field
in the CQE of the corresponding port timestamping CQ. In the port
timestamping napi_poll context, the identifier is queried from the CQE
polled from CQ and used to lookup the corresponding skb from the WQE submit
path. The skb reference is removed from map and then embedded with the port
HW timestamp information from the CQE and eventually consumed.
The metadata freelist FIFO is an array containing integer identifiers that
can be pushed and popped in the FIFO. The purpose of this structure is
bookkeeping what identifier values can safely be used in a subsequent WQE
submission and should not contain identifiers that have still not been
reaped by processing a corresponding CQE completion on the port
timestamping CQ.
The ts_cqe_pending_list structure is a combination of an array and linked
list. The array is pre-populated with the nodes that will be added and
removed from the head of the linked list. Each node contains the unique
identifier value associated with the values submitted in the WQEs and
retrieved in the port timestamping CQEs. When a WQE is submitted, the node
in the array corresponding to the identifier popped from the metadata
freelist is added to the end of the CQE pending list and is marked as
"in-use". The node is removed from the linked list under two conditions.
The first condition is that the corresponding port timestamping CQE is
polled in the PTP napi_poll context. The second condition is that more than
a second has elapsed since the DMA timestamp value corresponding to the WQE
submission. When the first condition occurs, the "in-use" bit in the linked
list node is cleared, and the resources corresponding to the WQE submission
are then released. The second condition, however, indicates that the port
timestamping CQE will likely never be delivered. It's not impossible for
the device to post a CQE after an infinite amount of time though highly
improbable. In order to be resilient to this improbable case, resources
related to the corresponding WQE submission are still kept, the identifier
value is not returned to the freelist, and the "in-use" bit is cleared on
the node to indicate that it's no longer part of the linked list of "likely
to be delivered" port timestamping CQE identifiers. A count for the number
of port timestamping CQEs considered highly likely to never be delivered by
the device is maintained. This count gets decremented in the unlikely event
a port timestamping CQE considered unlikely to ever be delivered is polled
in the PTP napi_poll context.

The PSGMII interface is similar to QSGMII. The main difference
is that the PSGMII interface combines five SGMII lines into a
single link while in QSGMII only four lines are combined.
Similarly to the QSGMII, this interface mode might also needs
special handling within the MAC driver.
It is commonly used by Qualcomm with their QCA807x PHY series and
modern WiSoC-s.
Add definitions for the PHY layer to allow to express this type
of connection between the MAC and PHY.

In commit 82e896d992fa ("docs: net: page_pool: use kdoc to avoid
duplicating the information") I shied away from using the DOC:
comments when moving to kdoc for documenting page_pool API,
because I wasn't sure how familiar people are with it.
Turns out there is already a DOC: comment for the intro, which
is the same in both places, modulo what looks like minor rewording.
Use the version from Documentation/ but keep the contents with
the code.

All struct members of the driver-facing APIs are documented twice,
in the code and under Documentation. This is a bit tedious.
I also get the feeling that a lot of developers will read the header
when coding, rather than the doc. Bring the two a little closer
together by using kdoc for structs and functions.
Using kdoc also gives us links (mentioning a function or struct
in the text gets replaced by a link to its doc).

Using PP_FLAG_DMA_SYNC_DEV is a bit confusing. It was perhaps
more obvious when it was introduced but the page pool use
has grown beyond XDP and beyond packet-per-page so now
making the heads and tails out of this feature is not
trivial.
Obviously making the API more user friendly would be
a better fix, but until someone steps up to do that
let's at least document what the parameters are.
Relevant discussion in the first Link.

accept_ra_min_rtr_lft only considered the lifetime of the default route
and discarded entire RAs accordingly.
This change renames accept_ra_min_rtr_lft to accept_ra_min_lft, and
applies the value to individual RA sections; in particular, router
lifetime, PIO preferred lifetime, and RIO lifetime. If any of those
lifetimes are lower than the configured value, the specific RA section
is ignored.
In order for the sysctl to be useful to Android, it should really apply
to all lifetimes in the RA, since that is what determines the minimum
frequency at which RAs must be processed by the kernel. Android uses
hardware offloads to drop RAs for a fraction of the minimum of all
lifetimes present in the RA (some networks have very frequent RAs (5s)
with high lifetimes (2h)). Despite this, we have encountered networks
that set the router lifetime to 30s which results in very frequent CPU
wakeups. Instead of disabling IPv6 (and dropping IPv6 ethertype in the
WiFi firmware) entirely on such networks, it seems better to ignore the
misconfigured routers while still processing RAs from other IPv6 routers
on the same network (i.e. to support IoT applications).
The previous implementation dropped the entire RA based on router
lifetime. This turned out to be hard to expand to the other lifetimes
present in the RA in a consistent manner; dropping the entire RA based
on RIO/PIO lifetimes would essentially require parsing the whole thing
twice.

This change adds a new sysctl accept_ra_min_rtr_lft to specify the
minimum acceptable router lifetime in an RA. If the received RA router
lifetime is less than the configured value (and not 0), the RA is
ignored.
This is useful for mobile devices, whose battery life can be impacted
by networks that configure RAs with a short lifetime. On such networks,
the device should never gain IPv6 provisioning and should attempt to
drop RAs via hardware offload, if available.

With modern NIC drivers shifting to full page allocations per
received frame, we face the following issue:
TCP has one per-netns sysctl used to tweak how to translate
a memory use into an expected payload (RWIN), in RX path.
tcp_win_from_space() implementation is limited to few cases.
For hosts dealing with various MSS, we either under estimate
or over estimate the RWIN we send to the remote peers.
For instance with the default sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale value,
we expect to store 50% of payload per allocated chunk of memory.
For the typical use of MTU=1500 traffic, and order-0 pages allocations
by NIC drivers, we are sending too big RWIN, leading to potential
tcp collapse operations, which are extremely expensive and source
of latency spikes.
This patch makes sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale obsolete, and instead
uses a per socket scaling factor, so that we can precisely
adjust the RWIN based on effective skb->len/skb->truesize ratio.
This patch alone can double TCP receive performance when receivers
are too slow to drain their receive queue, or by allowing
a bigger RWIN when MSS is close to PAGE_SIZE.

Create a new netconsole runtime option that prepends the kernel version in
the netconsole message. This is useful to map kernel messages to kernel
version in a simple way, i.e., without checking somewhere which kernel
version the host that sent the message is using.
If this option is selected, then the "<release>," is prepended before the
netconsole message. This is an example of a netconsole output, with
release feature enabled:

Initial creation of an AF_XDP socket requires CAP_NET_RAW capability. A
privileged process might create the socket and pass it to a non-privileged
process for later use. However, that process will be able to bind the socket
to any network interface. Even though it will not be able to receive any
traffic without modification of the BPF map, the situation is not ideal.
Sockets already have a mechanism that can be used to restrict what interface
they can be attached to. That is SO_BINDTODEVICE.
To change the SO_BINDTODEVICE binding the process will need CAP_NET_RAW.
Make xsk_bind() honor the SO_BINDTODEVICE in order to allow safer workflow
when non-privileged process is using AF_XDP.
The intended workflow is following:
1. First process creates a bare socket with socket(AF_XDP, ...).
2. First process loads the XSK program to the interface.
3. First process adds the socket fd to a BPF map.
4. First process ties socket fd to a particular interface using
SO_BINDTODEVICE.
5. First process sends socket fd to a second process.
6. Second process allocates UMEM.
7. Second process binds socket to the interface with bind(...).
8. Second process sends/receives the traffic.
All the steps above are possible today if the first process is privileged
and the second one has sufficient RLIMIT_MEMLOCK and no capabilities.
However, the second process will be able to bind the socket to any interface
it wants on step 7 and send traffic from it. With the proposed change, the
second process will be able to bind the socket only to a specific interface
chosen by the first process at step 4.
