[PATCH net-next v7 00/11] net: Improve netns handling in rtnetlink

by Xiao Liang

This patch series includes some netns-related improvements and fixes for rtnetlink, to make link creation more intuitive: 1) Creating link in another net namespace doesn't conflict with link names in current one. 2) Refector rtnetlink link creation. Create link in target namespace directly. So that # ip link add netns ns1 link-netns ns2 tun0 type gre ... will create tun0 in ns1, rather than create it in ns2 and move to ns1. And don't conflict with another interface named "tun0" in current netns. Patch 01 serves for 1) to avoids link name conflict in different netns. To achieve 2), there're mainly 3 steps: - Patch 02 packs newlink() parameters into a struct, including the original "src_net" along with more netns context. No semantic changes are introduced. - Patch 03 ~ 07 converts device drivers to use the explicit netns extracted from params. - Patch 08 ~ 09 removes the old netns parameter, and converts rtnetlink to create device in target netns directly. Patch 10 ~ 11 adds some tests for link name and link netns. BTW please note there're some issues found in current code: - In amt_newlink() drivers/net/amt.c: amt->net = net; ... amt->stream_dev = dev_get_by_index(net, ... Uses net, but amt_lookup_upper_dev() only searches in dev_net. So the AMT device may not be properly deleted if it's in a different netns from lower dev. - In gtp_newlink() in drivers/net/gtp.c: gtp->net = src_net; ... gn = net_generic(dev_net(dev), gtp_net_id); list_add_rcu(&gtp->list, &gn->gtp_dev_list); Uses src_net, but priv is linked to list in dev_net. So it may not be properly deleted on removal of link netns. - In pfcp_newlink() in drivers/net/pfcp.c: pfcp->net = net; ... pn = net_generic(dev_net(dev), pfcp_net_id); list_add_rcu(&pfcp->list, &pn->pfcp_dev_list); Same as above. - In lowpan_newlink() in net/ieee802154/6lowpan/core.c: wdev = dev_get_by_index(dev_net(ldev), nla_get_u32(tb[IFLA_LINK])); Looks for IFLA_LINK in dev_net, but in theory the ifindex is defined in link netns. --- v7: - Add selftest kconfig. - Remove a duplicated test of ip6gre. v6: link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241218130909.2173-1-shaw.leon@gmail.com/ - Split prototype, driver and rtnetlink changes. - Add more tests for link netns. - Fix IPv6 tunnel net overwriten in ndo_init(). - Reorder variable declarations. - Exclude a ip_tunnel-specific patch. v5: link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241209140151.231257-1-shaw.leon@gmail.com/ - Fix function doc in batman-adv. - Include peer_net in rtnl newlink parameters. v4: link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241118143244.1773-1-shaw.leon@gmail.com/ - Pack newlink() parameters to a single struct. - Use ynl async_msg_queue.empty() in selftest. v3: link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241113125715.150201-1-shaw.leon@gmail.com/ - Drop "netns_atomic" flag and module parameter.

[PATCH 0/3] tun: Unify vnet implementation and fill full vnet header

by Akihiko Odaki

When I implemented virtio's hash-related features to tun/tap [1], I found tun/tap does not fill the entire region reserved for the virtio header, leaving some uninitialized hole in the middle of the buffer after read()/recvmesg(). This series fills the uninitialized hole. More concretely, the num_buffers field will be initialized with 1, and the other fields will be inialized with 0. Setting the num_buffers field to 1 is mandated by virtio 1.0 [2]. The change to virtio header is preceded by another change that refactors tun and tap to unify their virtio-related code.

[PATCH v1] selftests/mm: Set allocated memory to non-zero content in cow test

by Ryan Roberts

After commit b1f202060afe ("mm: remap unused subpages to shared zeropage when splitting isolated thp"), cow test cases involving swapping out THPs via madvise(MADV_PAGEOUT) started to be skipped due to the subsequent check via pagemap determining that the memory was not actually swapped out. Logs similar to this were emitted: ... # [RUN] Basic COW after fork() ... with swapped-out, PTE-mapped THP (16 kB) ok 2 # SKIP MADV_PAGEOUT did not work, is swap enabled? # [RUN] Basic COW after fork() ... with single PTE of swapped-out THP (16 kB) ok 3 # SKIP MADV_PAGEOUT did not work, is swap enabled? # [RUN] Basic COW after fork() ... with swapped-out, PTE-mapped THP (32 kB) ok 4 # SKIP MADV_PAGEOUT did not work, is swap enabled? ... The commit in question introduces the behaviour of scanning THPs and if their content is predominantly zero, it splits them and replaces the pages which are wholly zero with the zero page. These cow test cases were getting caught up in this. So let's avoid that by filling the contents of all allocated memory with a non-zero value. With this in place, the tests are passing again.

[PATCH v7 00/30] NT synchronization primitive driver

by Elizabeth Figura

This patch series implements a new char misc driver, /dev/ntsync, which is used to implement Windows NT synchronization primitives. NT synchronization primitives are unique in that the wait functions both are vectored, operate on multiple types of object with different behaviour (mutex, semaphore, event), and affect the state of the objects they wait on. This model is not compatible with existing kernel synchronization objects or interfaces, and therefore the ntsync driver implements its own wait queues and locking. This patch series is rebased against the "char-misc-next" branch of gregkh/char-misc.git. == Background == The Wine project emulates the Windows API in user space. One particular part of that API, namely the NT synchronization primitives, have historically been implemented via RPC to a dedicated "kernel" process. However, more recent applications use these APIs more strenuously, and the overhead of RPC has become a bottleneck. The NT synchronization APIs are too complex to implement on top of existing primitives without sacrificing correctness. Certain operations, such as NtPulseEvent() or the "wait-for-all" mode of NtWaitForMultipleObjects(), require direct control over the underlying wait queue, and implementing a wait queue sufficiently robust for Wine in user space is not possible. This proposed driver, therefore, implements the problematic interfaces directly in the Linux kernel. This driver was presented at Linux Plumbers Conference 2023. For those further interested in the history of synchronization in Wine and past attempts to solve this problem in user space, a recording of the presentation can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjU4nyWyhU8 == Performance == The performance measurements described below are copied from earlier versions of the patch set. While some of the code has changed, I do not currently anticipate that it has changed drastically enough to affect those measurements. The gain in performance varies wildly depending on the application in question and the user's hardware. For some games NT synchronization is not a bottleneck and no change can be observed, but for others frame rate improvements of 50 to 150 percent are not atypical. The following table lists frame rate measurements from a variety of games on a variety of hardware, taken by users Dmitry Skvortsov, FuzzyQuils, OnMars, and myself: Game Upstream ntsync improvement =========================================================================== Anger Foot 69 99 43% Call of Juarez 99.8 224.1 125% Dirt 3 110.6 860.7 678% Forza Horizon 5 108 160 48% Lara Croft: Temple of Osiris 141 326 131% Metro 2033 164.4 199.2 21% Resident Evil 2 26 77 196% The Crew 26 51 96% Tiny Tina's Wonderlands 130 360 177% Total War Saga: Troy 109 146 34% =========================================================================== == Patches == The intended semantics of the patches are broadly intended to match those of the corresponding Windows functions.

[PATCH 0/3] selftests: bpf: Migrate test_xdp_redirect.sh to test_progs

by Bastien Curutchet (eBPF Foundation)

Hi all, This patch series continues the work to migrate the *.sh tests into prog_tests. test_xdp_redirect.sh tests the XDP redirections done through bpf_redirect(). These XDP redirections are already tested by prog_tests/xdp_do_redirect.c but IMO it doesn't cover the exact same code path because xdp_do_redirect.c uses bpf_prog_test_run_opts() to trigger redirections of 'fake packets' while test_xdp_redirect.sh redirects packets coming from the network. Also, the test_xdp_redirect.sh script tests the redirections with both SKB and DRV modes while xdp_do_redirect.c only tests the DRV mode. The patch series adds two new test cases in prog_tests/xdp_do_redirect.c to replace the test_xdp_redirect.sh script.

[PATCH v4 0/9] arm64: Support 2024 dpISA extensions

by Mark Brown

The 2024 architecture release includes a number of data processing extensions, mostly SVE and SME additions with a few others. These are all very straightforward extensions which add instructions but no architectural state so only need hwcaps and exposing of the ID registers to KVM guests and userspace.

(To be clear, CR8 based accesses are allowed, but stores cause an exit in order to check the new TPR against IRR. That's because KVM's API does not have an equivalent of the TPR threshold as you point out below). I have not really looked at the code but it seems like it could also simplify things as CR8 would be handled more uniformly regardless of who is virtualizing the local APIC. >> Also I could not find these documented anywhere but with MSFT's APIC our monitor >> relies on extensions for trapping certain events such as INIT/SIPI plus LINT0 >> and SVR writes: >> >> UINT64 X64ApicInitSipiExitTrap : 1; // WHvRunVpExitReasonX64ApicInitSipiTrap >> UINT64 X64ApicWriteLint0ExitTrap : 1; // WHvRunVpExitReasonX64ApicWriteTrap >> UINT64 X64ApicWriteLint1ExitTrap : 1; // WHvRunVpExitReasonX64ApicWriteTrap >> UINT64 X64ApicWriteSvrExitTrap : 1; // WHvRunVpExitReasonX64ApicWriteTrap > > > There's no need for this in KVM's in-kernel APIC model. INIT and SIPI are handled in the hypervisor and you can get the current state of APs via KVM_GET_MPSTATE. LINT0 and LINT1 are injected with KVM_INTERRUPT and KVM_NMI respectively, and they obey IF/PPR and NMI blocking respectively, plus the interrupt shadow; so there's no need for userspace to know when LINT0/LINT1 themselves change. The spurious interrupt vector register is also handled completely in kernel. I realize that KVM can handle LINT0/SVR updates themselves but our interrupt subsystem relies on knowing the current values of these registers even when not virtualizing the local APIC. I suppose we could use KVM_GET_LAPIC to sync things up on demand but that seems like it might nor be great from a performance point of view. >> I did not see any similar functionality for KVM. Does anything like that exist? >> In any case we would be happy to add support for handling CR8 accesses w/o >> exiting w/o the in-kernel APIC along with some sort of a way to configure the >> TPR threshold if folks are not opposed to that. > > > As far I know everybody who's using KVM (whether proprietary or open source) has had no need for that, so I don't think it's a good idea to make the API more complex. Performance of Windows guests is going to be bad anyway with userspace APIC. From what I have seen the exit cost with KVM is significantly lower than with WHP/Hyper-V. I don't think performance of Windows guests with userspace APIC emulation would be bad if CR8 exits could be avoided (Linux guests perf isn't bad from what I have observed and the main difference is the astronomical number of CR8 exits). It seems like it would be pretty decent although I agree if you want the absolute best performance then you would want to use the in kernel APIC to speed up handling of ICR/EOI writes but those are relatively infrequent compared to CR8 accesses . Anyway I just saw Sean's response while writing this and it seems he is not in favor of avoiding CR8 exits w/o the in kernel APIC either so I suppose we will have to look into making use of the in kernel APIC.
