Add a ynl netdev family operation called queue-create that creates a
new queue on a netdevice:
name: queue-create
attribute-set: queue
flags: [admin-perm]
do:
request:
attributes:
- ifindex
- type
- lease
reply: &queue-create-op
attributes:
- id
This is a generic operation such that it can be extended for various
use cases in future. Right now it is mandatory to specify ifindex,
the queue type which is enforced to rx and a lease. The newly created
queue id is returned to the caller.
A queue from a virtual device can have a lease which refers to another
queue from a physical device. This is useful for memory providers
and AF_XDP operations which take an ifindex and queue id to allow
applications to bind against virtual devices in containers. The lease
couples both queues together and allows to proxy the operations from
a virtual device in a container to the physical device.
In future, the nested lease attribute can be lifted and made optional
for other use-cases such as dynamic queue creation for physical
netdevs. The lack of lease and the specification of the physical
device as an ifindex will imply that we need a real queue to be
allocated. Similarly, the queue type enforcement to rx can then be
lifted as well to support tx.
An early implementation had only driver-specific integration [0], but
in order for other virtual devices to reuse, it makes sense to have
this as a generic API in core net.
For leasing queues, the virtual netdev must have real_num_rx_queues
less than num_rx_queues at the time of calling queue-create. The
queue-type must be rx as only rx queues are supported for leasing
for now. We also enforce that the queue-create ifindex must point
to a virtual device, and that the nested lease attribute's ifindex
must point to a physical device. The nested lease attribute set
contains a netns-id attribute which is optional and can specify a
netns-id relative to the caller's netns. It requires cap_net_admin
and if the netns-id attribute is not specified, the lease ifindex
will be retrieved from the current netns. Also, it is modeled as
an s32 type similarly as done elsewhere in the stack.

Add a new state NAPI_STATE_THREADED_BUSY_POLL to the NAPI state enum to
enable and disable threaded busy polling.
When threaded busy polling is enabled for a NAPI, enable
NAPI_STATE_THREADED also.
When the threaded NAPI is scheduled, set NAPI_STATE_IN_BUSY_POLL to
signal napi_complete_done not to rearm interrupts.
Whenever NAPI_STATE_THREADED_BUSY_POLL is unset, the
NAPI_STATE_IN_BUSY_POLL will be unset, napi_complete_done unsets the
NAPI_STATE_SCHED_THREADED bit also, which in turn will make the kthread
go to sleep.

A net device has a threaded sysctl that can be used to enable threaded
NAPI polling on all of the NAPI contexts under that device. Allow
enabling threaded NAPI polling at individual NAPI level using netlink.
Extend the netlink operation `napi-set` and allow setting the threaded
attribute of a NAPI. This will enable the threaded polling on a NAPI
context.
Add a test in `nl_netdev.py` that verifies various cases of threaded
NAPI being set at NAPI and at device level.

Extend the XDP Tx metadata framework so that user can requests launch time
hardware offload, where the Ethernet device will schedule the packet for
transmission at a pre-determined time called launch time. The value of
launch time is communicated from user space to Ethernet driver via
launch_time field of struct xsk_tx_metadata.

AF_XDP, the nest will not be present.
In the future, this attribute can be extended to include more data about
XSK as it is needed.

Recent commit 0cfe71f45f ("netdev: add queue stats") added
a lot of useful stats, but only those immediately needed by virtio.
Presumably virtio does not support CHECKSUM_COMPLETE,
so statistic for that form of checksumming wasn't included.
Other drivers will definitely need it, in fact we expect it
to be needed in net-next soon (mlx5). So let's add the definition
of the counter for CHECKSUM_COMPLETE to uAPI in net already,
so that the counters are in a more natural order (all subsequent
counters have not been present in any released kernel, yet).

The ethtool-nl family does a good job exposing various protocol
related and IEEE/IETF statistics which used to get dumped under
ethtool -S, with creative names. Queue stats don't have a netlink
API, yet, and remain a lion's share of ethtool -S output for new
drivers. Not only is that bad because the names differ driver to
driver but it's also bug-prone. Intuitively drivers try to report
only the stats for active queues, but querying ethtool stats
involves multiple system calls, and the number of stats is
read separately from the stats themselves. Worse still when user
space asks for values of the stats, it doesn't inform the kernel
how big the buffer is. If number of stats increases in the meantime
kernel will overflow user buffer.
Add a netlink API for dumping queue stats. Queue information is
exposed via the netdev-genl family, so add the stats there.
Support per-queue and sum-for-device dumps. Latter will be useful
when subsequent patches add more interesting common stats than
just bytes and packets.
The API does not currently distinguish between HW and SW stats.
The expectation is that the source of the stats will either not
matter much (good packets) or be obvious (skb alloc errors).

This PR is larger than usual and contains changes in various parts
of the kernel.
The main changes are:
1) Fix kCFI bugs in BPF, from Peter Zijlstra.
End result: all forms of indirect calls from BPF into kernel
and from kernel into BPF work with CFI enabled. This allows BPF
to work with CONFIG_FINEIBT=y.
2) Introduce BPF token object, from Andrii Nakryiko.
It adds an ability to delegate a subset of BPF features from privileged
daemon (e.g., systemd) through special mount options for userns-bound
BPF FS to a trusted unprivileged application. The design accommodates
suggestions from Christian Brauner and Paul Moore.
Example:
$ sudo mkdir -p /sys/fs/bpf/token
$ sudo mount -t bpf bpffs /sys/fs/bpf/token \
-o delegate_cmds=prog_load:MAP_CREATE \
-o delegate_progs=kprobe \
-o delegate_attachs=xdp
3) Various verifier improvements and fixes, from Andrii Nakryiko, Andrei Matei.
- Complete precision tracking support for register spills
- Fix verification of possibly-zero-sized stack accesses
- Fix access to uninit stack slots
- Track aligned STACK_ZERO cases as imprecise spilled registers.
It improves the verifier "instructions processed" metric from single
digit to 50-60% for some programs.
- Fix verifier retval logic
4) Support for VLAN tag in XDP hints, from Larysa Zaremba.
5) Allocate BPF trampoline via bpf_prog_pack mechanism, from Song Liu.
End result: better memory utilization and lower I$ miss for calls to BPF
via BPF trampoline.
6) Fix race between BPF prog accessing inner map and parallel delete,
from Hou Tao.
7) Add bpf_xdp_get_xfrm_state() kfunc, from Daniel Xu.
It allows BPF interact with IPSEC infra. The intent is to support
software RSS (via XDP) for the upcoming ipsec pcpu work.
Experiments on AWS demonstrate single tunnel pcpu ipsec reaching
line rate on 100G ENA nics.
8) Expand bpf_cgrp_storage to support cgroup1 non-attach, from Yafang Shao.
9) BPF file verification via fsverity, from Song Liu.
It allows BPF progs get fsverity digest.
