net/sock: Add kernel config SOCK_RX_QUEUE_MAPPING

2021-02-12T03:08:06+00:00

Use a new config SOCK_RX_QUEUE_MAPPING to compile-in the socket
RX queue field and logic, instead of the XPS config.
This breaks dependency in XPS, and allows selecting it from non-XPS
use cases, as we do in the next patch.

In addition, use the new flag to wrap the logic in sk_rx_queue_get()
and protect access to the sk_rx_queue_mapping field, while keeping
the function exposed unconditionally, just like sk_rx_queue_set()
and sk_rx_queue_clear().

wimax: move out to staging

2020-10-29T18:27:45+00:00

There are no known users of this driver as of October 2020, and it will
be removed unless someone turns out to still need it in future releases.

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WiMAX_networks, there
have been many public wimax networks, but it appears that many of these
have migrated to LTE or discontinued their service altogether.
As most PCs and phones lack WiMAX hardware support, the remaining
networks tend to use standalone routers. These almost certainly
run Linux, but not a modern kernel or the mainline wimax driver stack.

NetworkManager appears to have dropped userspace support in 2015
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=747846, the
www.linuxwimax.org
site had already shut down earlier.

WiMax is apparently still being deployed on airport campus networks
("AeroMACS"), but in a frequency band that was not supported by the old
Intel 2400m (used in Sandy Bridge laptops and earlier), which is the
only driver using the kernel's wimax stack.

Move all files into drivers/staging/wimax, including the uapi header
files and documentation, to make it easier to remove it when it gets
to that. Only minimal changes are made to the source files, in order
to make it possible to port patches across the move.

Also remove the MAINTAINERS entry that refers to a broken mailing
list and website.

drop_monitor: Convert to using devlink tracepoint

2020-10-01T01:01:26+00:00

Convert drop monitor to use the recently introduced
'devlink_trap_report' tracepoint instead of having devlink call into
drop monitor.

This is both consistent with software originated drops ('kfree_skb'
tracepoint) and also allows drop monitor to be built as a module and
still report hardware originated drops.

net: ethtool: Remove PHYLIB direct dependency

2020-07-07T22:41:05+00:00

Now that we have introduced ethtool_phy_ops and the PHY library
dynamically registers its operations with that function pointer, we can
remove the direct PHYLIB dependency in favor of using dynamic
operations.

treewide: replace '---help---' in Kconfig files with 'help'

2020-06-13T16:57:21+00:00

Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over
'---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually
decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances.

This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines,
I also fixed the indentation.

There are a variety of indentation styles found.

  a) 4 spaces + '---help---'
  b) 7 spaces + '---help---'
  c) 8 spaces + '---help---'
  d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---'
  e) 1 tab + '---help---'    (correct indentation)
  f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---'
  g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---'

In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the
following commend:

  $ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/'

net: ethtool: netlink: Add support for triggering a cable test

2020-05-10T19:28:41+00:00

Add new ethtool netlink calls to trigger the starting of a PHY cable
test.

Add Kconfig'ury to ETHTOOL_NETLINK so that PHYLIB is not a module when
ETHTOOL_NETLINK is builtin, which would result in kernel linking errors.

v2:
Remove unwanted white space change
Remove ethnl_cable_test_act_ops and use doit handler
Rename cable_test_set_policy cable_test_act_policy
Remove ETHTOOL_MSG_CABLE_TEST_ACT_REPLY

v3:
Remove ETHTOOL_MSG_CABLE_TEST_ACT_REPLY from documentation
Remove unused cable_test_get_policy
Add Reviewed-by tags

v4:
Remove unwanted blank line

net: Fix CONFIG_NET_CLS_ACT=n and CONFIG_NFT_FWD_NETDEV={y, m} build

2020-03-25T19:24:33+00:00

net/netfilter/nft_fwd_netdev.c: In function ‘nft_fwd_netdev_eval’:
    net/netfilter/nft_fwd_netdev.c:32:10: error: ‘struct sk_buff’ has no member named ‘tc_redirected’
      pkt->skb->tc_redirected = 1;
              ^~
    net/netfilter/nft_fwd_netdev.c:33:10: error: ‘struct sk_buff’ has no member named ‘tc_from_ingress’
      pkt->skb->tc_from_ingress = 1;
              ^~

To avoid a direct dependency with tc actions from netfilter, wrap the
redirect bits around CONFIG_NET_REDIRECT and move helpers to
include/linux/skbuff.h. Turn on this toggle from the ifb driver, the
only existing client of these bits in the tree.

This patch adds skb_set_redirected() that sets on the redirected bit
on the skbuff, it specifies if the packet was redirect from ingress
and resets the timestamp (timestamp reset was originally missing in the
netfilter bugfix).

net: disable BRIDGE_NETFILTER by default

2020-02-20T23:02:02+00:00

The description says 'If unsure, say N.' but
the module is built as M by default (once
the dependencies are satisfied).

When the module is selected (Y or M), it enables
NETFILTER_FAMILY_BRIDGE and SKB_EXTENSIONS
which alter kernel internal structures.

We (Android Studio Emulator) currently do not
use this module and think this it is more consistent
to have it disabled by default as opposite to
disabling it explicitly to prevent enabling
NETFILTER_FAMILY_BRIDGE and SKB_EXTENSIONS.
