bpf: Add BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_SKIP_NEIGH for bpf_fib_lookup
The bpf_fib_lookup() also looks up the neigh table.
This was done before bpf_redirect_neigh() was added.
In the use case that does not manage the neigh table
and requires bpf_fib_lookup() to lookup a fib to
decide if it needs to redirect or not, the bpf prog can
depend only on using bpf_redirect_neigh() to lookup the
neigh. It also keeps the neigh entries fresh and connected.
This patch adds a bpf_fib_lookup flag, SKIP_NEIGH, to avoid
the double neigh lookup when the bpf prog always call
bpf_redirect_neigh() to do the neigh lookup. The params->smac
output is skipped together when SKIP_NEIGH is set because
bpf_redirect_neigh() will figure out the smac also.

Xsk Tx can be triggered via either sendmsg() or poll() syscalls. These

if (unlikely(need_wait)) (...)

xsk_xmit():
if (unlikely(!(xs->dev->flags & IFF_UP)))
return -ENETDOWN;
if (unlikely(!xs->tx))
return -ENOBUFS;
As it can be observed above, in sendmsg() napi id can be marked on
interface that was not brought up and this causes a NULL ptr
dereference:
To fix this, let's make xsk_xmit a function that will be responsible for
generic Tx, where RCU is handled accordingly and pull out sanity checks
and xs->zc handling. Populate sanity checks to __xsk_sendmsg() and
xsk_poll().

gfpflags_allow_blocking() is true but also takes the lock. Therefore,
unconditionally calling radix_tree_preload_end() should not create any

netfilter: let reset rules clean out conntrack entries
iptables/nftables support responding to tcp packets with tcp resets.
The generated tcp reset packet passes through both output and postrouting
netfilter hooks, but conntrack will never see them because the generated
skb has its ->nfct pointer copied over from the packet that triggered the
reset rule.
If the reset rule is used for established connections, this
may result in the conntrack entry to be around for a very long
time (default timeout is 5 days).
One way to avoid this would be to not copy the nf_conn pointer
so that the rest packet passes through conntrack too.
Problem is that output rules might not have the same conntrack
zone setup as the prerouting ones, so its possible that the
reset skb won't find the correct entry. Generating a template
entry for the skb seems error prone as well.
Add an explicit "closing" function that switches a confirmed
conntrack entry to closed state and wire this up for tcp.
If the entry isn't confirmed, no action is needed because
the conntrack entry will never be committed to the table.

arm64: perf: reject CHAIN events at creation time
Currently it's possible for a user to open CHAIN events arbitrarily,
which we previously tried to rule out in commit:
ca2b497253ad01c8 ("arm64: perf: Reject stand-alone CHAIN events for PMUv3")
Which allowed the events to be opened, but prevented them from being
scheduled by by using an arm_pmu::filter_match hook to reject the
relevant events.
The CHAIN event filtering in the arm_pmu::filter_match hook was silently
removed in commit:
As a result, it's now possible for users to open CHAIN events, and for
these to be installed arbitrarily.
Fix this by rejecting CHAIN events at creation time. This avoids the
creation of events which will never count, and doesn't require using the
dynamic filtering.
Attempting to open a CHAIN event (0x1e) will now be rejected:
| # ./perf stat -e armv8_pmuv3/config=0x1e/ ls
| perf
|
| Performance counter stats for 'ls':
|
| <not supported> armv8_pmuv3/config=0x1e/
|
| 0.002197470 seconds time elapsed
|
| 0.000000000 seconds user
| 0.002294000 seconds sys
Other events (e.g. CPU_CYCLES / 0x11) will open as usual:
| # ./perf stat -e armv8_pmuv3/config=0x11/ ls
| perf
|
| Performance counter stats for 'ls':
|
| 2538761 armv8_pmuv3/config=0x11/
|
| 0.002227330 seconds time elapsed
|
| 0.002369000 seconds user
| 0.000000000 seconds sys
That commit replaced the pmu::filter_match() callback with
pmu::filter(), whose return value has the opposite polarity, with true
implying events should be ignored rather than scheduled. While an
attempt was made to update the logic in armv8pmu_filter() and
armpmu_filter() accordingly, the return value remains inverted in a
couple of cases:
* If the arm_pmu does not have an arm_pmu::filter() callback,
armpmu_filter() will always return whether the CPU is supported rather
than whether the CPU is not supported.
As a result, the perf core will not schedule events on supported CPUs,
resulting in a loss of events. Additionally, the perf core will
attempt to schedule events on unsupported CPUs, but this will be
rejected by armpmu_add(), which may result in a loss of events from
other PMUs on those unsupported CPUs.
* If the arm_pmu does have an arm_pmu::filter() callback, and
armpmu_filter() is called on a CPU which is not supported by the
arm_pmu, armpmu_filter() will return false rather than true.
As a result, the perf core will attempt to schedule events on
unsupported CPUs, but this will be rejected by armpmu_add(), which may
result in a loss of events from other PMUs on those unsupported CPUs.
This means a loss of events can be seen with any arm_pmu driver, but
with the ARMv8 PMUv3 driver (which is the only arm_pmu driver with an
arm_pmu::filter() callback) the event loss will be more limited and may
go unnoticed, which is how this issue evaded testing so far.
Fix the CPU filtering by performing this consistently in
armpmu_filter(), and remove the redundant arm_pmu::filter() callback and
armv8pmu_filter() implementation.
Commit bd2756811766 also silently removed the CHAIN event filtering from
armv8pmu_filter(), which will be addressed by a separate patch without
using the filter callback.
Using "va" and "vb" doesn't match what's written on the board, or the
communications from StarFive.
Switching to using the silkscreened version number will ease confusion &
the risk of another spin of the board containing a "conflicting" version
identifier.
As the binding has not made it into mainline yet, take the opportunity
to "correct" things.

block: sync mixed merged request's failfast with 1st bio's
We support mixed merge for requests/bios with different fastfail

with same failfast setting, then bios with failfast can be failed
immediately, and bios without failfast can be retried.
The idea is pretty good, but the current implementation has several
defects:
1) initially RA bio doesn't set failfast, however bio merge code
doesn't consider this point, and just check its failfast setting for
deciding if mixed merge is required. Fix this issue by adding helper
of bio_failfast().
2) when merging bio to request front, if this request is mixed
merged, we have to sync request's faifast setting with 1st bio's
failfast. Fix it by calling blk_update_mixed_merge().
3) when merging bio to request back, if this request is mixed
merged, we have to mark the bio as failfast, because blk_update_request
simply updates request failfast with 1st bio's failfast. Fix
it by calling blk_update_mixed_merge().
Fixes one normal EXT4 READ IO failure issue, because it is observed
that the normal READ IO is merged with RA IO, and the mixed merged
request has different failfast setting with 1st bio's, so finally
the normal READ IO doesn't get retried.

seg6: add PSP flavor support for SRv6 End behavior
Segment Routing for IPv6 (SRv6 in short) [1] is the instantiation of the
Segment Routing (SR) [2] architecture on the IPv6 dataplane.
In SRv6, the segment identifiers (SID) are IPv6 addresses and the segment list
(SID List) is carried in the Segment Routing Header (SRH). A segment may be
bound to a specific packet processing operation called "behavior". The RFC8986
[3] defines and standardizes the most common/relevant behaviors for network
operators, e.g., End, End.X and End.T and so on.
The RFC8986 also introduces the "flavors" framework aiming to modify or extend
the capabilities of SRv6 End, End.X and End.T behaviors. Specifically, these
behaviors support the following flavors (either individually or in
combinations):
- Penultimate Segment Pop (PSP);
- Ultimate Segment Pop (USP);
- Ultimate Segment Decapsulation (USD).
Such flavors enable an End/End.X/End.T behavior to pop the SRH on the
penultimate/ultimate SR endpoint node listed in the SID List or to perform a
full decapsulation.
Currently, the Linux kernel supports a large subset of behaviors described in
RFC8986, including the End, End.X and End.T. However, PSP, USP and USD flavors
have not yet been implemented.
In this patchset, we extend the SRv6 subsystem to implement the PSP flavor in
the SRv6 End behavior. To accomplish this task, we leverage the flavor
framework previously introduced by another patchset required for supporting the
efficient representation of the SID List through the NEXT-C-SID mechanism [4].
In details, the patchset is made of:
- patch 1/3: seg6: factor out End lookup nexthop processing to a dedicated
function
- patch 2/3: seg6: add PSP flavor support for SRv6 End behavior
- patch 3/3: selftests: seg6: add selftest for PSP flavor in SRv6 End
behavior
From the user space perspective, we do not need to change the iproute2 code to
support the PSP flavor. However, we provide the man page for the PSP flavor in
a separate patch.
Comments, improvements and suggestions are always appreciated.

properly interconnected to others through veth pairs.
The test makes use of the SRv6 End behavior and of the PSP flavor needed
for removing the SRH from the IPv6 header at the penultimate node.
The correct execution of the behavior is verified through reachability

seg6: add PSP flavor support for SRv6 End behavior
The "flavors" framework defined in RFC8986 [1] represents additional
operations that can modify or extend a subset of existing behaviors such as
SRv6 End, End.X and End.T. We report these flavors hereafter:
- Penultimate Segment Pop (PSP);
- Ultimate Segment Pop (USP);
- Ultimate Segment Decapsulation (USD).
Depending on how the Segment Routing Header (SRH) has to be handled, an
SRv6 End* behavior can support these flavors either individually or in
combinations.
In this patch, we only consider the PSP flavor for the SRv6 End behavior.
A PSP enabled SRv6 End behavior is used by the Source/Ingress SR node
(i.e., the one applying the SRv6 Policy) when it needs to instruct the
penultimate SR Endpoint node listed in the SID List (carried by the SRH) to
remove the SRH from the IPv6 header.
Specifically, a PSP enabled SRv6 End behavior processes the SRH by:
i) decreasing the Segment Left (SL) from 1 to 0;
ii) copying the Last Segment IDentifier (SID) into the IPv6 Destination
Address (DA);
iii) removing (i.e., popping) the outer SRH from the extension headers
following the IPv6 header.
It is important to note that PSP operation (steps i, ii, iii) takes place
only at a penultimate SR Segment Endpoint node (i.e., when the SL=1) and
does not happen at non-penultimate Endpoint nodes. Indeed, when a SID of
PSP flavor is processed at a non-penultimate SR Segment Endpoint node, the
PSP operation is not performed because it would not be possible to decrease
the SL from 1 to 0.
SL=2 SL=1 SL=0
| | |
For example, given the SRv6 policy (SID List := < X, Y, Z >):
- a PSP enabled SRv6 End behavior bound to SID "Y" will apply the PSP
operation as Segment Left (SL) is 1, corresponding to the Penultimate
Segment of the SID List;
- a PSP enabled SRv6 End behavior bound to SID "X" will *NOT* apply the
PSP operation as the Segment Left is 2. This behavior instance will
apply the "standard" End packet processing, ignoring the configured PSP
flavor at all.

Cited commit changed devlink to register its netdev notifier block on

However, when changing the network namespace of the devlink instance,
devlink still tries to unregister its notifier block from the chain of
the old namespace and register it on the chain of the new namespace.
This results in corruption of the notifier chains, as the same notifier
block is registered on two different chains: The global one and the per
network namespace one. In turn, this causes other problems such as the
inability to dismantle namespaces due to netdev reference count issues.
Fix by preventing devlink from moving its notifier block between
namespaces.

how to handle UAPI. It seems legit to just delete it but we would need to
coordinate with iproute2 (given they sync up with kernel uapi headers). There
are probably other users we don't know of that copy kernel headers.
If folks feel differently I will resend the patches deleting UAPI for these
qdiscs and classifiers.
I will start another thread on iproute2 before sending any patches to iproute2.

net/sched: Retire tcindex classifier
The tcindex classifier has served us well for about a quarter of a century
but has not been getting much TLC due to lack of known users. Most recently
it has become easy prey to syzkaller. For this reason, we are retiring it.
