devlink: add per-port resource support
This series by Or adds devlink per-port resource support:
Currently, devlink resources are only available at the device level.
However, some resources are inherently per-port, such as the maximum
number of subfunctions (SFs) that can be created on a specific PF port.
This limitation prevents user space from obtaining accurate per-port
capacity information.
This series adds infrastructure for per-port resources in devlink core
and implements it in the mlx5 driver to expose the max_SFs resource
on PF devlink ports.
Patch #1 refactors resource functions to be generic
Patch #2 adds port-level resource registration infrastructure
Patch #3 registers SF resource on PF port representor in mlx5
Patch #4 adds devlink port resource registration to netdevsim for testing
Patch #5 adds dump support for device-level resources
Patch #6 includes port resources in the resource dump dumpit path
Patch #7 adds port-specific option to resource dump doit path
Patch #8 adds selftest for devlink port resource doit
Patch #9 documents port-level resources and full dump
Patch #10 adds resource scope filtering to resource dump
Patch #11 adds selftest for resource dump and scope filter
Patch #12 documents resource scope filtering

Allow filtering the resource dump to device-level or port-level
resources using the 'scope' option.
Example - dump only device-level resources:
$ devlink resource show scope dev

name max_external_SFs size 128 unit entry dpipe_tables none
pci/0000:03:00.1:
name max_local_SFs size 128 unit entry dpipe_tables none
name max_external_SFs size 128 unit entry dpipe_tables none
Example - dump only port-level resources:
$ devlink resource show scope port
pci/0000:03:00.0/196608:

The device-level "resource show" displays max_local_SFs and
max_external_SFs without indicating which port each resource belongs
to. Users cannot determine the controller number and pfnum associated
with each SF pool.
Register max_SFs resource on the host PF representor port to expose
per-port SF limits. Users can correlate the port resource with the
controller number and pfnum shown in 'devlink port show'.
Future patches will introduce an ECPF that manages multiple PFs,
where each PF has its own SF pool.
Example usage:
$ devlink resource show pci/0000:03:00.0/196608
pci/0000:03:00.0/196608:
name max_SFs size 20 unit entry
$ devlink port show pci/0000:03:00.0/196608

controller 1 pfnum 0 external true splittable false
function:
hw_addr b8:3f:d2:e1:8f:dc roce enable max_io_eqs 120
We can create up to 20 SFs over devlink port pci/0000:03:00.0/196608,
with pfnum 0 and controller 1.

mptcp: autotune related improvement
Here are two patches from Paolo that have been crafted a couple of
months ago, but needed more validation because they were indirectly
causing instabilities in the sefltests. The root cause has been fixed in
'net' recently in commit 8c09412e58 ("selftests: mptcp: more stable
simult_flows tests").
These patches refactor the receive space and RTT estimator, overall
making DRS more correct while avoiding receive buffer drifting to
tcp_rmem[2], which in turn makes the throughput more stable and less
bursty, especially with high bandwidth and low delay environments.
Note that the first patch addresses a very old issue. 'net-next' is
targeted because the change is quite invasive and based on a recent
backlog refactor. The 'Fixes' tag is then there more as a FYI, because
backporting this patch will quickly be blocked due to large conflicts.

The current MPTCP-level RTT estimator has several issues. On high speed
links, the MPTCP-level receive buffer auto-tuning happens with a
frequency well above the TCP-level's one. That in turn can cause
excessive/unneeded receive buffer increase.
On such links, the initial rtt_us value is considerably higher than the
actual delay, and the current mptcp_rcv_space_adjust() updates
msk->rcvq_space.rtt_us with a period equal to the such field previous
value. If the initial rtt_us is 40ms, its first update will happen after
40ms, even if the subflows see actual RTT orders of magnitude lower.
Additionally:
- setting the msk RTT to the maximum among all the subflows RTTs makes
DRS constantly overshooting the rcvbuf size when a subflow has
considerable higher latency than the other(s).
- during unidirectional bulk transfers with multiple active subflows,
the TCP-level RTT estimator occasionally sees considerably higher
value than the real link delay, i.e. when the packet scheduler reacts
to an incoming ACK on given subflow pushing data on a different
subflow.
- currently inactive but still open subflows (i.e. switched to backup
mode) are always considered when computing the msk-level RTT.
Address the all the issues above with a more accurate RTT estimation
strategy: the MPTCP-level RTT is set to the minimum of all the subflows
actually feeding data into the MPTCP receive buffer, using a small
sliding window.
While at it, also use EWMA to compute the msk-level scaling_ratio, to
that MPTCP can avoid traversing the subflow list is
mptcp_rcv_space_adjust().
Use some care to avoid updating msk and ssk level fields too often.

sk_clone() initializes sk_tx_queue_mapping via sk_tx_queue_clear()
but does not initialize sk_rx_queue_mapping. Since this field is in
the sk_dontcopy region, it is neither copied from the parent socket
by sock_copy() nor zeroed by sk_prot_alloc() (called without
__GFP_ZERO from sk_clone).
Commit 03cfda4fa6 ("tcp: fix another uninit-value
(sk_rx_queue_mapping)") attempted to fix this by introducing
sk_mark_napi_id_set() with force_set=true in tcp_child_process().
However, sk_mark_napi_id_set() -> sk_rx_queue_set() only writes
when skb_rx_queue_recorded(skb) is true. If the 3-way handshake
ACK arrives through a device that does not record rx_queue (e.g.
loopback or veth), sk_rx_queue_mapping remains uninitialized.
When a subsequent data packet arrives with a recorded rx_queue,
sk_mark_napi_id() -> sk_rx_queue_update() reads the uninitialized
field for comparison (force_set=false path), triggering KMSAN.
This was reproduced by establishing a TCP connection over loopback
(which does not call skb_record_rx_queue), then attaching a BPF TC
program on lo ingress to set skb->queue_mapping on data packets:

Currently:
add rule netdev x y ip saddr 1.1.1.1
does not work with neither double-tagged vlan nor pppoe packets. This is
because the network and transport header offset are not pointing to the
IP and transport protocol headers in the stack.
This patch expands NFT_META_PROTOCOL and NFT_META_L4PROTO to parse
double-tagged vlan and pppoe packets so matching network and transport
header fields becomes possible with the existing userspace generated
bytecode. Note that this parser only supports double-tagged vlan which
is composed of vlan offload + vlan header in the skb payload area for
simplicity.
NFT_META_PROTOCOL is used by bridge and netdev family as an implicit
dependency in the bytecode to match on network header fields.
Similarly, there is also NFT_META_L4PROTO, which is also used as an
implicit dependency when matching on the transport protocol header
fields.

nft_pipapo_avx2_lookup_slow will never be used in reality, because the
common sizes are handled by avx2 optimized versions.
However, nft_pipapo_avx2_lookup_slow loops over the data just like the
avx2 functions. However, _slow doesn't need to do that.
As-is, first loop sets all the right result bits and the next iterations
boil down to 'x = x & x'. Remove the loop.

After commit 07919126ec ("netfilter: annotate NAT helper hook pointers
with __rcu"), sparse can warn about type/address-space mismatches when
RCU-dereferencing NAT helper hook function pointers.
The hooks are __rcu-annotated and accessed via rcu_dereference(), but the
combination of complex function pointer declarators and the WRITE_ONCE()
machinery used by RCU_INIT_POINTER()/rcu_assign_pointer() can confuse
sparse and trigger false positives.
Introduce typedefs for the NAT helper function types, so __rcu applies to
a simple "fn_t __rcu *" pointer form. Also replace local typeof(hook)
variables with "fn_t *" to avoid propagating __rcu address space into
temporaries.
No functional change intended.

net: pull gso packet headers in core stack
Most ndo_start_xmit() methods expects headers of gso packets
to be already in skb->head.
net/core/tso.c users are particularly at risk, because tso_build_hdr()
does a memcpy(hdr, skb->data, hdr_len);
qdisc_pkt_len_segs_init() already does a dissection of gso packets.
Use pskb_may_pull() instead of skb_header_pointer() to make
sure drivers do not have to reimplement this.
First patch is a small cleanup to ease second patch review.

Some malicious packets could be fed, detect them so that we can
drop them sooner with a new SKB_DROP_REASON_SKB_BAD_GSO drop_reason.
