git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni: "Core & protocols: - Improve drop account scalability on NUMA hosts for RAW and UDP sockets and the backlog, almost doubling the Pps capacity under DoS - Optimize the UDP RX performance under stress, reducing contention, revisiting the binary layout of the involved data structs and implementing NUMA-aware locking. This improves UDP RX performance by an additional 50%, even more under extreme conditions - Add support for PSP encryption of TCP connections; this mechanism has some similarities with IPsec and TLS, but offers superior HW offloads capabilities - Ongoing work to support Accurate ECN for TCP. AccECN allows more than one congestion notification signal per RTT and is a building block for Low Latency, Low Loss, and Scalable Throughput (L4S) - Reorganize the TCP socket binary layout for data locality, reducing the number of touched cachelines in the fastpath - Refactor skb deferral free to better scale on large multi-NUMA hosts, this improves TCP and UDP RX performances significantly on such HW - Increase the default socket memory buffer limits from 256K to 4M to better fit modern link speeds - Improve handling of setups with a large number of nexthop, making dump operating scaling linearly and avoiding unneeded synchronize_rcu() on delete - Improve bridge handling of VLAN FDB, storing a single entry per bridge instead of one entry per port; this makes the dump order of magnitude faster on large switches - Restore IP ID correctly for encapsulated packets at GSO segmentation time, allowing GRO to merge packets in more scenarios - Improve netfilter matching performance on large sets - Improve MPTCP receive path performance by leveraging recently introduced core infrastructure (skb deferral free) and adopting recent TCP autotuning changes - Allow bridges to redirect to a backup port when the bridge port is administratively down - Introduce MPTCP 'laminar' endpoint that con be used only once per connection and simplify common MPTCP setups - Add RCU safety to dst->dev, closing a lot of possible races - A significant crypto library API for SCTP, MPTCP and IPv6 SR, reducing code duplication - Supports pulling data from an skb frag into the linear area of an XDP buffer Things we sprinkled into general kernel code: - Generate netlink documentation from YAML using an integrated YAML parser Driver API: - Support using IPv6 Flow Label in Rx hash computation and RSS queue selection - Introduce API for fetching the DMA device for a given queue, allowing TCP zerocopy RX on more H/W setups - Make XDP helpers compatible with unreadable memory, allowing more easily building DevMem-enabled drivers with a unified XDP/skbs datapath - Add a new dedicated ethtool callback enabling drivers to provide the number of RX rings directly, improving efficiency and clarity in RX ring queries and RSS configuration -

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/axboe/linux Pull io_uring updates from Jens Axboe: - Store ring provided buffers locally for the users, rather than stuff them into struct io_kiocb. These types of buffers must always be fully consumed or recycled in the current context, and leaving them in struct io_kiocb is hence not a good ideas as that struct has a vastly different life time. Basically just an architecture cleanup that can help prevent issues with ring provided buffers in the future. - Support for mixed CQE sizes in the same ring. Before this change, a CQ ring either used the default 16b CQEs, or it was setup with 32b CQE using IORING_SETUP_CQE32. For use cases where a few 32b CQEs were needed, this caused everything else to use big CQEs. This is wasteful both in terms of memory usage, but also memory bandwidth for the posted CQEs. With IORING_SETUP_CQE_MIXED, applications may use request types that post both normal 16b and big 32b CQEs on the same ring. - Add helpers for async data management, to make it harder for opcode handlers to mess it up. - Add support for multishot for uring_cmd, which ublk can use. This helps improve efficiency, by providing a persistent request type that can trigger multiple CQEs. - Add initial support for ring feature querying. We had basic support for probe operations, but the API isn't great. Rather than expand that, add support for QUERY which is easily expandable and can cover a lot more cases than the existing probe support. This will help applications get a better idea of what operations are supported on a given host. - zcrx improvements from Pavel: - Improve refill entry alignment for better caching - Various cleanups, especially around deduplicating normal memory vs dmabuf setup. - Generalisation of the niov size (Patch 12). It's still hard coded to PAGE_SIZE on init, but will let the user to specify the rx buffer length on setup. - Syscall / synchronous bufer return. It'll be used as a slow fallback path for returning buffers when the refill queue is full. Useful for tolerating slight queue size misconfiguration or with inconsistent load. - Accounting more memory to cgroups. - Additional independent cleanups that will also be useful for mutli-area support. - Various fixes and cleanups * tag 'for-6.18/io_uring-20250929' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/axboe/linux: (68 commits) io_uring/cmd: drop unused res2 param from io_uring_cmd_done() io_uring: fix nvme's 32b cqes on mixed cq io_uring/query: cap number of queries io_uring/query: prevent infinite loops io_uring/zcrx: account niov arrays to cgroup io_uring/zcrx: allow synchronous buffer return io_uring/zcrx: introduce io_parse_rqe() io_uring/zcrx: don't adjust free cache space io_uring/zcrx: use guards for the refill lock io_uring/zcrx: reduce netmem scope in refill io_uring/zcrx: protect netdev with pp_lock io_uring/zcrx: rename dma lock io_uring/zcrx: make niov size variable io_uring/zcrx: set sgt for umem area io_uring/zcrx: remove dmabuf_offset io_uring/zcrx: deduplicate area mapping io_uring/zcrx: pass ifq to io_zcrx_alloc_fallback() io_uring/zcrx: check all niovs filled with dma addresses io_uring/zcrx: move area reg checks into io_import_area io_uring/zcrx: don't pass slot to io_zcrx_create_area ...

Introduce a new document, flow_control.rst, to provide a comprehensive guide on Ethernet Flow Control in Linux. The guide explains how flow control works, how autonegotiation resolves pause capabilities, and how to configure it using ethtool and Netlink. In parallel, document the pause and pause-stat attributes in the ethtool.yaml netlink spec. This enables the ynl tool to generate kernel-doc comments for the corresponding enums in the UAPI header, making the C interface self-documenting. Finally, replace the legacy flow control section in phy.rst with a reference to the new document and add pointers in the relevant C source files.

2025-09-18Merge branch 'add-basic-psp-encryption-for-tcp-connections'Paolo Abeni2-0/+184
Daniel Zahka says: ================== add basic PSP encryption for TCP connections This is v13 of the PSP RFC [1] posted by Jakub Kicinski one year ago. General developments since v1 include a fork of packetdrill [2] with support for PSP added, as well as some test cases, and an implementation of PSP key exchange and connection upgrade [3] integrated into the fbthrift RPC library. Both [2] and [3] have been tested on server platforms with PSP-capable CX7 NICs. Below is the cover letter from the original RFC: Add support for PSP encryption of TCP connections. PSP is a protocol out of Google: https://github.com/google/psp/blob/main/doc/PSP_Arch_Spec.pdf which shares some similarities with IPsec. I added some more info in the first patch so I'll keep it short here. The protocol can work in multiple modes including tunneling. But I'm mostly interested in using it as TLS replacement because of its superior offload characteristics. So this patch does three things: - it adds "core" PSP code PSP is offload-centric, and requires some additional care and feeding, so first chunk of the code exposes device info. This part can be reused by PSP implementations in xfrm, tunneling etc. - TCP integration TLS style Reuse some of the existing concepts from TLS offload, such as attaching crypto state to a socket, marking skbs as "decrypted", egress validation. PSP does not prescribe key exchange protocols. To use PSP as a more efficient TLS offload we intend to perform a TLS handshake ("inline" in the same TCP connection) and negotiate switching to PSP based on capabilities of both endpoints. This is also why I'm not including a software implementation. Nobody would use it in production, software TLS is faster, it has larger crypto records. - mlx5 implementation That's mostly other people's work, not 100% sure those folks consider it ready hence the RFC in the title. But it works :) Not posted, queued a branch [4] are follow up pieces: - standard stats - netdevsim implementation and tests [1] https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20240510030435.120935-1-kuba@kernel.org/ [2] https://github.com/danieldzahka/packetdrill [3] https://github.com/danieldzahka/fbthrift/tree/dzahka/psp [4] https://github.com/kuba-moo/linux/tree/psp Comments we intend to defer to future series: - we prefer to keep the version field in the tx-assoc netlink request, because it makes parsing keys require less state early on, but we are willing to change in the next version of this series. - using a static branch to wrap psp_enqueue_set_decrypted() and other functions called from tcp. - using INDIRECT_CALL for tls/psp in sk_validate_xmit_skb(). We prefer to address this in a dedicated patch series, so that this series does not need to modify the way tls_validate_xmit_skb() is declared and stubbed out. v12: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20250916000559.1320151-1-kuba@kernel.org/ v11: https://lore.kernel.org/20250911014735.118695-1-daniel.zahka@gmail.com v10: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20250828162953.2707727-1-daniel.zahka@gmail.com/ v9: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20250827155340.2738246-1-daniel.zahka@gmail.com/ v8: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20250825200112.1750547-1-daniel.zahka@gmail.com/ v7: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20250820113120.992829-1-daniel.zahka@gmail.com/ v6: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20250812003009.2455540-1-daniel.zahka@gmail.com/ v5: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20250723203454.519540-1-daniel.zahka@gmail.com/ v4: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20250716144551.3646755-1-daniel.zahka@gmail.com/ v3: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20250702171326.3265825-1-daniel.zahka@gmail.com/ v2: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20250625135210.2975231-1-daniel.zahka@gmail.com/ v1: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20240510030435.120935-1-kuba@kernel.org/ ================== Links: https://patch.msgid.link/20250917000954.859376-1-daniel.zahka@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com> --- * add-basic-psp-encryption-for-tcp-connections: net/mlx5e: Implement PSP key_rotate operation net/mlx5e: Add Rx data path offload psp: provide decapsulation and receive helper for drivers net/mlx5e: Configure PSP Rx flow steering rules net/mlx5e: Add PSP steering in local NIC RX net/mlx5e: Implement PSP Tx data path psp: provide encapsulation helper for drivers net/mlx5e: Implement PSP operations .assoc_add and .assoc_del net/mlx5e: Support PSP offload functionality psp: track generations of device key net: psp: update the TCP MSS to reflect PSP packet overhead net: psp: add socket security association code net: tcp: allow tcp_timewait_sock to validate skbs before handing to device net: move sk_validate_xmit_skb() to net/core/dev.c psp: add op for rotation of device key tcp: add datapath logic for PSP with inline key exchange net: modify core data structures for PSP datapath support psp: base PSP device support psp: add documentation

2025-09-18tcp: accecn: AccECN option send controlChia-Yu Chang2-0/+9
Instead of sending the option in every ACK, limit sending to those ACKs where the option is necessary: - Handshake - "Change-triggered ACK" + the ACK following it. The 2nd ACK is necessary to unambiguously indicate which of the ECN byte counters in increasing. The first ACK has two counters increasing due to the ecnfield edge. - ACKs with CE to allow CEP delta validations to take advantage of the option. - Force option to be sent every at least once per 2^22 bytes. The check is done using the bit edges of the byte counters (avoids need for extra variables). - AccECN option beacon to send a few times per RTT even if nothing in the ECN state requires that. The default is 3 times per RTT, and its period can be set via sysctl_tcp_ecn_option_beacon.

2025-09-18tcp: accecn: AccECN optionIlpo Järvinen2-0/+22
The Accurate ECN allows echoing back the sum of bytes for each IP ECN field value in the received packets using AccECN option. This change implements AccECN option tx & rx side processing without option send control related features that are added by a later change. Based on specification: https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-tcpm-accurate-ecn-28.txt (Some features of the spec will be added in the later changes rather than in this one). A full-length AccECN option is always attempted but if it does not fit, the minimum length is selected based on the counters that have changed since the last update. The AccECN option (with 24-bit fields) often ends in odd sizes so the option write code tries to take advantage of some nop used to pad the other TCP options. The delivered_ecn_bytes pairs with received_ecn_bytes similar to how delivered_ce pairs with received_ce. In contrast to ACE field, however, the option is not always available to update delivered_ecn_bytes. For ACK w/o AccECN option, the delivered bytes calculated based on the cumulative ACK+SACK information are assigned to one of the counters using an estimation heuristic to select the most likely ECN byte counter. Any estimation error is corrected when the next AccECN option arrives. It may occur that the heuristic gets too confused when there are enough different byte counter deltas between ACKs with the AccECN option in which case the heuristic just gives up on updating the counters for a while. tcp_ecn_option sysctl can be used to select option sending mode for AccECN: TCP_ECN_OPTION_DISABLED, TCP_ECN_OPTION_MINIMUM, and TCP_ECN_OPTION_FULL. This patch increases the size of tcp_info struct, as there is no existing holes for new u32 variables. Below are the pahole outcomes before and after this patch: [BEFORE THIS PATCH] struct tcp_info { [...] __u32 tcpi_total_rto_time; /* 244 4 */ /* size: 248, cachelines: 4, members: 61 */ } [AFTER THIS PATCH] struct tcp_info { [...] __u32 tcpi_total_rto_time; /* 244 4 */ __u32 tcpi_received_ce; /* 248 4 */ __u32 tcpi_delivered_e1_bytes; /* 252 4 */ __u32 tcpi_delivered_e0_bytes; /* 256 4 */ __u32 tcpi_delivered_ce_bytes; /* 260 4 */ __u32 tcpi_received_e1_bytes; /* 264 4 */ __u32 tcpi_received_e0_bytes; /* 268 4 */ __u32 tcpi_received_ce_bytes; /* 272 4 */ /* size: 280, cachelines: 5, members: 68 */ } This patch uses the existing 1-byte holes in the tcp_sock_write_txrx group for new u8 members, but adds a 4-byte hole in tcp_sock_write_rx group after the new u32 delivered_ecn_bytes[3] member. Therefore, the group size of tcp_sock_write_rx is increased from 96 to 112.

2025-09-18tcp: accecn: AccECN negotiationIlpo Järvinen2-14/+25
Accurate ECN negotiation parts based on the specification: https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-tcpm-accurate-ecn-28.txt Accurate ECN is negotiated using ECE, CWR and AE flags in the TCP header. TCP falls back into using RFC3168 ECN if one of the ends supports only RFC3168-style ECN. The AccECN negotiation includes reflecting IP ECN field value seen in SYN and SYNACK back using the same bits as negotiation to allow responding to SYN CE marks and to detect ECN field mangling. CE marks should not occur currently because SYN=1 segments are sent with Non-ECT in IP ECN field (but proposal exists to remove this restriction). Reflecting SYN IP ECN field in SYNACK is relatively simple. Reflecting SYNACK IP ECN field in the final/third ACK of the handshake is more challenging. Linux TCP code is not well prepared for using the final/third ACK a signalling channel which makes things somewhat complicated here. tcp_ecn sysctl can be used to select the highest ECN variant (Accurate ECN, ECN, No ECN) that is attemped to be negotiated and requested for incoming connection and outgoing connection: TCP_ECN_IN_NOECN_OUT_NOECN, TCP_ECN_IN_ECN_OUT_ECN, TCP_ECN_IN_ECN_OUT_NOECN, TCP_ECN_IN_ACCECN_OUT_ACCECN, TCP_ECN_IN_ACCECN_OUT_ECN, and TCP_ECN_IN_ACCECN_OUT_NOECN. After this patch, the size of tcp_request_sock remains unchanged and no new holes are added. Below are the pahole outcomes before and after this patch: [BEFORE THIS PATCH] struct tcp_request_sock { [...] u32 rcv_nxt; /* 352 4 */ u8 syn_tos; /* 356 1 */ /* size: 360, cachelines: 6, members: 16 */ } [AFTER THIS PATCH] struct tcp_request_sock { [...] u32 rcv_nxt; /* 352 4 */ u8 syn_tos; /* 356 1 */ bool accecn_ok; /* 357 1 */ u8 syn_ect_snt:2; /* 358: 0 1 */ u8 syn_ect_rcv:2; /* 358: 2 1 */ u8 accecn_fail_mode:4; /* 358: 4 1 */ /* size: 360, cachelines: 6, members: 20 */ } After this patch, the size of tcp_sock remains unchanged and no new holes are added.

2025-09-18tcp: AccECN coreIlpo Järvinen1-0/+2
This change implements Accurate ECN without negotiation and AccECN Option (that will be added by later changes). Based on AccECN specifications: https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-tcpm-accurate-ecn-28.txt Accurate ECN allows feeding back the number of CE (congestion experienced) marks accurately to the sender in contrast to RFC3168 ECN that can only signal one marks-seen-yes/no per RTT. Congestion control algorithms can take advantage of the accurate ECN information to fine-tune their congestion response to avoid drastic rate reduction when only mild congestion is encountered. With Accurate ECN, tp->received_ce (r.cep in AccECN spec) keeps track of how many segments have arrived with a CE mark. Accurate ECN uses ACE field (ECE, CWR, AE) to communicate the value back to the sender which updates tp->delivered_ce (s.cep) based on the feedback. This signalling channel is lossy when ACE field overflow occurs. Conservative strategy is selected here to deal with the ACE overflow, however, some strategies using the AccECN option later in the overall patchset mitigate against false overflows detected. The ACE field values on the wire are offset by TCP_ACCECN_CEP_INIT_OFFSET. Delivered_ce/received_ce count the real CE marks rather than forcing all downstream users to adapt to the wire offset. This patch uses the first 1-byte hole and the last 4-byte hole of the tcp_sock_write_txrx for 'received_ce_pending' and 'received_ce'. Also, the group size of tcp_sock_write_txrx is increased from 91 + 4 to 95 + 4 due to the new u32 received_ce member. Below are the trimmed pahole outcomes before and after this patch.

Supported values: 1) balanced, merges fewer CQEs, resulting in a moderate compression ratio but maintaining a balance between bandwidth savings and performance 2) aggressive, merges more CQEs into a single entry, achieving a higher compression rate and maximizing performance, particularly under high traffic loads.
