[PATCH net-next v3 0/5] psp: track stats from core and provide a driver stats api

by Daniel Zahka

This series introduces stats counters for psp. Device key rotations, and so called 'stale-events' are common to all drivers and are tracked by the core. A driver facing api is provided for reporting stats required by the "Implementation Requirements" section of the PSP Architecture Specification. Drivers must implement these stats. Lastly, implementations of the driver stats api for mlx5 and netdevsim are included. Here is the output of running the psp selftest suite and then printing out stats with the ynl cli on system with a psp-capable CX7: $ ./ksft-psp-stats/drivers/net/psp.py TAP version 13 1..28 ok 1 psp.test_case # SKIP Test requires IPv4 connectivity ok 2 psp.data_basic_send_v0_ip6 ok 3 psp.test_case # SKIP Test requires IPv4 connectivity ok 4 psp.data_basic_send_v1_ip6 ok 5 psp.test_case # SKIP Test requires IPv4 connectivity ok 6 psp.data_basic_send_v2_ip6 # SKIP ('PSP version not supported', 'hdr0-aes-gmac-128') ok 7 psp.test_case # SKIP Test requires IPv4 connectivity ok 8 psp.data_basic_send_v3_ip6 # SKIP ('PSP version not supported', 'hdr0-aes-gmac-256') ok 9 psp.test_case # SKIP Test requires IPv4 connectivity ok 10 psp.data_mss_adjust_ip6 ok 11 psp.dev_list_devices ok 12 psp.dev_get_device ok 13 psp.dev_get_device_bad ok 14 psp.dev_rotate ok 15 psp.dev_rotate_spi ok 16 psp.assoc_basic ok 17 psp.assoc_bad_dev ok 18 psp.assoc_sk_only_conn ok 19 psp.assoc_sk_only_mismatch ok 20 psp.assoc_sk_only_mismatch_tx ok 21 psp.assoc_sk_only_unconn ok 22 psp.assoc_version_mismatch ok 23 psp.assoc_twice ok 24 psp.data_send_bad_key ok 25 psp.data_send_disconnect ok 26 psp.data_stale_key ok 27 psp.removal_device_rx # XFAIL Test only works on netdevsim ok 28 psp.removal_device_bi # XFAIL Test only works on netdevsim # Totals: pass:19 fail:0 xfail:2 xpass:0 skip:7 error:0 # # Responder logs (0): # STDERR: # Set PSP enable on device 1 to 0x3 # Set PSP enable on device 1 to 0x0 $ cd ynl/ $ ./pyynl/cli.py --spec netlink/specs/psp.yaml --dump get-stats [{'dev-id': 1, 'key-rotations': 5, 'rx-auth-fail': 21, 'rx-bad': 0, 'rx-bytes': 11844, 'rx-error': 0, 'rx-packets': 94, 'stale-events': 6, 'tx-bytes': 1128456, 'tx-error': 0, 'tx-packets': 780}] CHANGES: v3: - simplify error path in accel_psp_fs_init_tx() - avoid casting argument in mlx5e_accel_psp_fs_get_stats_fill() - delete unused member stats member in mlx5e_psp - remove zero length array from psp_dev_stats v2: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20251028000018.3869664-1-daniel.zahka@gmail.… - don't return skb->len from psp_nl_get_stats_dumpit() on success and EMSGSIZE - use %pe to print PTR_ERR() v1: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20251022193739.1376320-1-daniel.zahka@gmail.… Daniel Zahka (2): selftests: drv-net: psp: add assertions on core-tracked psp dev stats netdevsim: implement psp device stats Jakub Kicinski (3): psp: report basic stats from the core psp: add stats from psp spec to driver facing api net/mlx5e: Add PSP stats support for Rx/Tx flows Documentation/netlink/specs/psp.yaml | 95 +++++++ .../mellanox/mlx5/core/en_accel/psp.c | 233 ++++++++++++++++-- .../mellanox/mlx5/core/en_accel/psp.h | 16 ++ .../mellanox/mlx5/core/en_accel/psp_rxtx.c | 1 + .../net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/en_main.c | 5 + drivers/net/netdevsim/netdevsim.h | 5 + drivers/net/netdevsim/psp.c | 27 ++ include/net/psp/types.h | 32 +++ include/uapi/linux/psp.h | 18 ++ net/psp/psp-nl-gen.c | 19 ++ net/psp/psp-nl-gen.h | 2 + net/psp/psp_main.c | 3 +- net/psp/psp_nl.c | 93 +++++++ net/psp/psp_sock.c | 4 +- tools/testing/selftests/drivers/net/psp.py | 13 + 15 files changed, 549 insertions(+), 17 deletions(-) -- 2.47.3

[PATCH net v3] selftests: net: local_termination: Wait for interfaces to come up

by A. Sverdlin

From: Alexander Sverdlin <alexander.sverdlin(a)siemens.com> It seems that most of the tests prepare the interfaces once before the test run (setup_prepare()), rely on setup_wait() to wait for link and only then run the test(s). local_termination brings the physical interfaces down and up during test run but never wait for them to come up. If the auto-negotiation takes some seconds, first test packets are being lost, which leads to false-negative test results. Use setup_wait() in run_test() to make sure auto-negotiation has been completed after all simple_if_init() calls on physical interfaces and test packets will not be lost because of the race against link establishment.

[PATCH net-next 0/4] netconsole: Allow userdata buffer to grow dynamically

by Gustavo Luiz Duarte

The current netconsole implementation allocates a static buffer for extradata (userdata + sysdata) with a fixed size of MAX_EXTRADATA_ENTRY_LEN * MAX_EXTRADATA_ITEMS bytes for every target, regardless of whether userspace actually uses this feature. This forces us to keep MAX_EXTRADATA_ITEMS small (16), which is restrictive for users who need to attach more metadata to their log messages. This patch series enables dynamic allocation of the userdata buffer, allowing it to grow on-demand based on actual usage. The series: 1. Refactors send_fragmented_body() to simplify handling of separated userdata and sysdata (patch 1/4) 2. Splits userdata and sysdata into separate buffers (patch 2/4) 3. Implements dynamic allocation for the userdata buffer (patch 3/4) 4. Increases MAX_USERDATA_ITEMS from 16 to 256 now that we can do so without memory waste (patch 4/4) Benefits: - No memory waste when userdata is not used - Targets that use userdata only consume what they need - Users can attach significantly more metadata without impacting systems that don't use this feature Signed-off-by: Gustavo Luiz Duarte <gustavold(a)gmail.com> --- Gustavo Luiz Duarte (4): netconsole: Simplify send_fragmented_body() netconsole: Split userdata and sysdata netconsole: Dynamic allocation of userdata buffer netconsole: Increase MAX_USERDATA_ITEMS drivers/net/netconsole.c | 338 +++++++++------------ .../selftests/drivers/net/netcons_overflow.sh | 2 +- 2 files changed, 152 insertions(+), 188 deletions(-) --- base-commit: 89aec171d9d1ab168e43fcf9754b82e4c0aef9b9 change-id: 20251007-netconsole_dynamic_extradata-21bd9d726568 Best regards, -- Gustavo Duarte <gustavold(a)meta.com>

[PATCH v6 0/2] KVM: guest_memfd: use write for population

by Kalyazin, Nikita

[ based on kvm/next ] Implement guest_memfd population via the write syscall. This is useful in non-CoCo use cases where the host can access guest memory. Even though the same can also be achieved via userspace mapping and memcpying from userspace, write provides a more performant option because it does not need to set page tables and it does not cause a page fault for every page like memcpy would. Note that memcpy cannot be accelerated via MADV_POPULATE_WRITE as it is not supported by guest_memfd and relies on GUP. Populating 512MiB of guest_memfd on a x86 machine: - via memcpy: 436 ms - via write: 202 ms (-54%) The write syscall support is conditional on kvm_gmem_supports_mmap. When in-place shared/private conversion is supported, write should only be allowed on shared pages. v6: - Make write support conditional on mmap support instead of relying on the up-to-date flag to decide whether writing to a page is allowed - James: Remove depenendencies on folio_test_large - James: Remove page alignment restriction - James: Formatting fixes v5: - https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20250902111951.58315-1-kalyazin@amazon.com/ - Replace the call to the unexported filemap_remove_folio with zeroing the bytes that could not be copied - Fix checkpatch findings v4: - https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20250828153049.3922-1-kalyazin@amazon.com - Switch from implementing the write callback to write_iter - Remove conditional compilation v3: - https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20250303130838.28812-1-kalyazin@amazon.com - David/Mike D: Only compile support for the write syscall if CONFIG_KVM_GMEM_SHARED_MEM (now gone) is enabled. v2: - https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20241129123929.64790-1-kalyazin@amazon.com - Switch from an ioctl to the write syscall to implement population v1: - https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20241024095429.54052-1-kalyazin@amazon.com Nikita Kalyazin (2): KVM: guest_memfd: add generic population via write KVM: selftests: update guest_memfd write tests .../testing/selftests/kvm/guest_memfd_test.c | 51 ++++++++++++++++--- virt/kvm/guest_memfd.c | 49 ++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 94 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) base-commit: 6b36119b94d0b2bb8cea9d512017efafd461d6ac -- 2.50.1

[PATCH net-next v8 00/14] vsock: add namespace support to vhost-vsock

by Bobby Eshleman

This series adds namespace support to vhost-vsock and loopback. It does not add namespaces to any of the other guest transports (virtio-vsock, hyperv, or vmci). The current revision supports two modes: local and global. Local mode is complete isolation of namespaces, while global mode is complete sharing between namespaces of CIDs (the original behavior). The mode is set using /proc/sys/net/vsock/ns_mode. Modes are per-netns and write-once. This allows a system to configure namespaces independently (some may share CIDs, others are completely isolated). This also supports future possible mixed use cases, where there may be namespaces in global mode spinning up VMs while there are mixed mode namespaces that provide services to the VMs, but are not allowed to allocate from the global CID pool (this mode not implemented in this series). If a socket or VM is created when a namespace is global but the namespace changes to local, the socket or VM will continue working normally. That is, the socket or VM assumes the mode behavior of the namespace at the time the socket/VM was created. The original mode is captured in vsock_create() and so occurs at the time of socket(2) and accept(2) for sockets and open(2) on /dev/vhost-vsock for VMs. This prevents a socket/VM connection from suddenly breaking due to a namespace mode change. Any new sockets/VMs created after the mode change will adopt the new mode's behavior. Additionally, added tests for the new namespace features: tools/testing/selftests/vsock/vmtest.sh 1..30 ok 1 vm_server_host_client ok 2 vm_client_host_server ok 3 vm_loopback ok 4 ns_host_vsock_ns_mode_ok ok 5 ns_host_vsock_ns_mode_write_once_ok ok 6 ns_global_same_cid_fails ok 7 ns_local_same_cid_ok ok 8 ns_global_local_same_cid_ok ok 9 ns_local_global_same_cid_ok ok 10 ns_diff_global_host_connect_to_global_vm_ok ok 11 ns_diff_global_host_connect_to_local_vm_fails ok 12 ns_diff_global_vm_connect_to_global_host_ok ok 13 ns_diff_global_vm_connect_to_local_host_fails ok 14 ns_diff_local_host_connect_to_local_vm_fails ok 15 ns_diff_local_vm_connect_to_local_host_fails ok 16 ns_diff_global_to_local_loopback_local_fails ok 17 ns_diff_local_to_global_loopback_fails ok 18 ns_diff_local_to_local_loopback_fails ok 19 ns_diff_global_to_global_loopback_ok ok 20 ns_same_local_loopback_ok ok 21 ns_same_local_host_connect_to_local_vm_ok ok 22 ns_same_local_vm_connect_to_local_host_ok ok 23 ns_mode_change_connection_continue_vm_ok ok 24 ns_mode_change_connection_continue_host_ok ok 25 ns_mode_change_connection_continue_both_ok ok 26 ns_delete_vm_ok ok 27 ns_delete_host_ok ok 28 ns_delete_both_ok ok 29 ns_loopback_global_global_late_module_load_ok ok 30 ns_loopback_local_local_late_module_load_fails SUMMARY: PASS=30 SKIP=0 FAIL=0 Dependent on series: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20251022-vsock-selftests-fixes-and-improvements… Thanks again for everyone's help and reviews!

[PATCH v2 0/5] introduce VM_MAYBE_GUARD and make it sticky

by Lorenzo Stoakes

Currently, guard regions are not visible to users except through /proc/$pid/pagemap, with no explicit visibility at the VMA level. This makes the feature less useful, as it isn't entirely apparent which VMAs may have these entries present, especially when performing actions which walk through memory regions such as those performed by CRIU. This series addresses this issue by introducing the VM_MAYBE_GUARD flag which fulfils this role, updating the smaps logic to display an entry for these. The semantics of this flag are that a guard region MAY be present if set (we cannot be sure, as we can't efficiently track whether an MADV_GUARD_REMOVE finally removes all the guard regions in a VMA) - but if not set the VMA definitely does NOT have any guard regions present. It's problematic to establish this flag without further action, because that means that VMAs with guard regions in them become non-mergeable with adjacent VMAs for no especially good reason. To work around this, this series also introduces the concept of 'sticky' VMA flags - that is flags which: a. if set in one VMA and not in another still permit those VMAs to be merged (if otherwise compatible). b. When they are merged, the resultant VMA must have the flag set. The VMA logic is updated to propagate these flags correctly. Additionally, VM_MAYBE_GUARD being an explicit VMA flag allows us to solve an issue with file-backed guard regions - previously these established an anon_vma object for file-backed mappings solely to have vma_needs_copy() correctly propagate guard region mappings to child processes. We introduce a new flag alias VM_COPY_ON_FORK (which currently only specifies VM_MAYBE_GUARD) and update vma_needs_copy() to check explicitly for this flag and to copy page tables if it is present, which resolves this issue. Additionally, we add the ability for allow-listed VMA flags to be atomically writable with only mmap/VMA read locks held. The only flag we allow so far is VM_MAYBE_GUARD, which we carefully ensure does not cause any races by being allowed to do so. This allows us to maintain guard region installation as a read-locked operation and not endure the overhead of obtaining a write lock here. Finally we introduce extensive VMA userland tests to assert that the sticky VMA logic behaves correctly as well as guard region self tests to assert that smaps visibility is correctly implemented. v2: * Separated out userland VMA tests for sticky behaviour as per Suren. * Added the concept of atomic writable VMA flags as per Pedro and Vlastimil. * Made VM_MAYBE_GUARD an atomic writable flag so we don't have to take a VMA write lock in madvise() as per Pedro and Vlastimil. v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1761756437.git.lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com/ Lorenzo Stoakes (5): mm: introduce VM_MAYBE_GUARD and make visible in /proc/$pid/smaps mm: add atomic VMA flags, use VM_MAYBE_GUARD as such mm: implement sticky, copy on fork VMA flags tools/testing/vma: add VMA sticky userland tests selftests/mm/guard-regions: add smaps visibility test Documentation/filesystems/proc.rst | 1 + fs/proc/task_mmu.c | 1 + include/linux/mm.h | 58 ++++++++++ include/trace/events/mmflags.h | 1 + mm/madvise.c | 22 ++-- mm/memory.c | 3 + mm/vma.c | 22 ++-- tools/testing/selftests/mm/guard-regions.c | 120 +++++++++++++++++++++ tools/testing/selftests/mm/vm_util.c | 5 + tools/testing/selftests/mm/vm_util.h | 1 + tools/testing/vma/vma.c | 89 +++++++++++++-- tools/testing/vma/vma_internal.h | 35 ++++++ 12 files changed, 330 insertions(+), 28 deletions(-) -- 2.51.0

[RFC 0/2] xdp: Delegate fast path return decision to page_pool

by Dragos Tatulea

This small series proposes the removal of the BPF_RI_F_RF_NO_DIRECT XDP flag in favour of page_pool's internal page_pool_napi_local() check which can override a non-direct recycle into a direct one if the right conditions are met., This was discussed on the mailing list on several occasions [1][2]. The first patch adds additional benchmarking code to the page_pool benchmark. The second patch has the actual change with a proper explanation and measurements. It remains to be debated if the whole BPF_RI_F_RF_NO_DIRECT mechanism should be deleted or only its use in xdp_return_frame_rx_napi(). There is still the unresolved issue of drivers that don't support page_pool NAPI recycling. This series could be extended to add that support. Otherwise those drivers would end up with slow path recycling for XDP.
