[PATCH net-next v6 0/8][pull request] Add support for providers with large rx buffer

by Pavel Begunkov

Note: it's net/ only bits and doesn't include changes, which shoulf be merged separately and are posted separately. The full branch for convenience is at [1], and the patch is here: https://lore.kernel.org/io-uring/7486ab32e99be1f614b3ef8d0e9bc77015b173f7.1… Many modern NICs support configurable receive buffer lengths, and zcrx and memory providers can use buffers larger than 4K/PAGE_SIZE on x86 to improve performance. When paired with hw-gro larger rx buffer sizes can drastically reduce the number of buffers traversing the stack and save a lot of processing time. It also allows to give to users larger contiguous chunks of data. The idea was first floated around by Saeed during netdev conf 2024 and was asked about by a few folks. Single stream benchmarks showed up to ~30% CPU util improvement. E.g. comparison for 4K vs 32K buffers using a 200Gbit NIC: packets=23987040 (MB=2745098), rps=199559 (MB/s=22837) CPU %usr %nice %sys %iowait %irq %soft %idle 0 1.53 0.00 27.78 2.72 1.31 66.45 0.22 packets=24078368 (MB=2755550), rps=200319 (MB/s=22924) CPU %usr %nice %sys %iowait %irq %soft %idle 0 0.69 0.00 8.26 31.65 1.83 57.00 0.57 This series adds net infrastructure for memory providers configuring the size and implements it for bnxt. It's an opt-in feature for drivers, they should advertise support for the parameter in the qops and must check if the hardware supports the given size. It's limited to memory providers as it drastically simplifies implementation. It doesn't affect the fast path zcrx uAPI, and the sizes is defined in zcrx terms, which allows it to be flexible and adjusted in the future, see Patch 7 for details.

[PATCH net-next] selftests/net/ipsec: Fix variable size type not at the end of struct

by Ankit Khushwaha

The "struct alg" object contains a union of 3 xfrm structures: union { struct xfrm_algo; struct xfrm_algo_aead; struct xfrm_algo_auth; } All of them end with a flexible array member used to store key material, but the flexible array appears at *different offsets* in each struct. bcz of this, union itself is of variable-sized & Placing it above char buf[...] triggers: ipsec.c:835:5: warning: field 'u' with variable sized type 'union (unnamed union at ipsec.c:831:3)' not at the end of a struct or class is a GNU extension [-Wgnu-variable-sized-type-not-at-end] 835 | } u; | ^ one fix is to use "TRAILING_OVERLAP()" which works with one flexible array member only. But In "struct alg" flexible array member exists in all union members, but not at the same offset, so TRAILING_OVERLAP cannot be applied. so the fix is to explicitly overlay the key buffer at the correct offset for the largest union member (xfrm_algo_auth). This ensures that the flexible-array region and the fixed buffer line up. No functional change.

[PATCH v8 00/29] KVM: arm64: Implement support for SME

by Mark Brown

I've removed the RFC tag from this version of the series, but the items that I'm looking for feedback on remains the same: - The userspace ABI, in particular: - The vector length used for the SVE registers, access to the SVE registers and access to ZA and (if available) ZT0 depending on the current state of PSTATE.{SM,ZA}. - The use of a single finalisation for both SVE and SME. - The addition of control for enabling fine grained traps in a similar manner to FGU but without the UNDEF, I'm not clear if this is desired at all and at present this requires symmetric read and write traps like FGU. That seemed like it might be desired from an implementation point of view but we already have one case where we enable an asymmetric trap (for ARM64_WORKAROUND_AMPERE_AC03_CPU_38) and it seems generally useful to enable asymmetrically. This series implements support for SME use in non-protected KVM guests. Much of this is very similar to SVE, the main additional challenge that SME presents is that it introduces a new vector length similar to the SVE vector length and two new controls which change the registers seen by guests: - PSTATE.ZA enables the ZA matrix register and, if SME2 is supported, the ZT0 LUT register. - PSTATE.SM enables streaming mode, a new floating point mode which uses the SVE register set with the separately configured SME vector length. In streaming mode implementation of the FFR register is optional. It is also permitted to build systems which support SME without SVE, in this case when not in streaming mode no SVE registers or instructions are available. Further, there is no requirement that there be any overlap in the set of vector lengths supported by SVE and SME in a system, this is expected to be a common situation in practical systems. Since there is a new vector length to configure we introduce a new feature parallel to the existing SVE one with a new pseudo register for the streaming mode vector length. Due to the overlap with SVE caused by streaming mode rather than finalising SME as a separate feature we use the existing SVE finalisation to also finalise SME, a new define KVM_ARM_VCPU_VEC is provided to help make user code clearer. Finalising SVE and SME separately would introduce complication with register access since finalising SVE makes the SVE registers writeable by userspace and doing multiple finalisations results in an error being reported. Dealing with a state where the SVE registers are writeable due to one of SVE or SME being finalised but may have their VL changed by the other being finalised seems like needless complexity with minimal practical utility, it seems clearer to just express directly that only one finalisation can be done in the ABI. Access to the floating point registers follows the architecture: - When both SVE and SME are present: - If PSTATE.SM == 0 the vector length used for the Z and P registers is the SVE vector length. - If PSTATE.SM == 1 the vector length used for the Z and P registers is the SME vector length. - If only SME is present: - If PSTATE.SM == 0 the Z and P registers are inaccessible and the floating point state accessed via the encodings for the V registers. - If PSTATE.SM == 1 the vector length used for the Z and P registers - The SME specific ZA and ZT0 registers are only accessible if SVCR.ZA is 1. The VMM must understand this, in particular when loading state SVCR should be configured before other state. It should be noted that while the architecture refers to PSTATE.SM and PSTATE.ZA these PSTATE bits are not preserved in SPSR_ELx, they are only accessible via SVCR. There are a large number of subfeatures for SME, most of which only offer additional instructions but some of which (SME2 and FA64) add architectural state. These are configured via the ID registers as per usual. Protected KVM supported, with the implementation maintaining the existing restriction that the hypervisor will refuse to run if streaming mode or ZA is enabled. This both simplfies the code and avoids the need to allocate storage for host ZA and ZT0 state, there seems to be little practical use case for supporting this and the memory usage would be non-trivial. The new KVM_ARM_VCPU_VEC feature and ZA and ZT0 registers have not been added to the get-reg-list selftest, the idea of supporting additional features there without restructuring the program to generate all possible feature combinations has been rejected. I will post a separate series which does that restructuring.

[PATCH v4 0/3] Support comma-separated symbols and :entry/:exit

by Seokwoo Chung (Ryan)

Extend fprobe to support list-style filters and explicit entry/exit suffixes. Currentyl, fprobe only supports a single symbol (or wildcard) per event. This patch allows users to specify a comma-separated list of symbols. New Syntax: - f:[GRP/][EVENT] func1,func2,func3:entry - f:[GRP/][EVENT] func1,func2,func3:exit Logic changes: - Refactor parsing logic into 'parse_fprobe_spec' - Support '!' prefix for exclusion - Disable BTF lookup ('ctx->funcname = NULL') when a list or wildcard is used, as a single function signature cannot apply to multiple functions. - Reject legacy '%return' suffix when used with lists or wildcards - Update tracefs/README Testing: Verified on x86_64 via QEMU. Checked registration of lists, exclusions, and explicit suffixes. Verified rejection of invalid syntax including trailing commas and mixed legacy/new syntax. Seokwoo Chung (Ryan) (3): docs: tracing/fprobe: Document list filters and :entry/:exit tracing/fprobe: Support comma-separated symbols and :entry/:exit selftests/ftrace: Add accept cases for fprobe list syntax Changes in v4: - Added validation to reject trailing commas (empty tokens) in symbol lists - Added vaildation to reject mixed of list syntax with %return suffix - Refactored parse_fprobe_spec to user __free(kfree) for automatic memory cleanup - Removed the now-unused parse_symbol_and_return function to avoid compiler warnings. - Tigtened %return detection to ensure it only matches as a strict suffix, not a substring - Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250904103219.f4937968362bfff1ecd3f004@kernel… Documentation/trace/fprobetrace.rst | 17 +- kernel/trace/trace.c | 3 +- kernel/trace/trace_fprobe.c | 209 ++++++++++++++---- .../ftrace/test.d/dynevent/fprobe_list.tc | 92 ++++++++ 4 files changed, 269 insertions(+), 52 deletions(-) create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/ftrace/test.d/dynevent/fprobe_list.tc -- 2.43.0

[PATCH net-next] selftests: af_unix: remove unused stdlib.h include

by Sunday Adelodun

The unix_connreset.c test included <stdlib.h>, but no symbol from that header is used. This causes a fatal build error under certain linux-next configurations where stdlib.h is not available. Remove the unused include to fix the build.

[RFC PATCH 0/3] Memory Controller eBPF support

by Hui Zhu

From: Hui Zhu <zhuhui(a)kylinos.cn> This series proposes adding eBPF support to the Linux memory controller, enabling dynamic and extensible memory management policies at runtime. Background The memory controller (memcg) currently provides fixed memory accounting and reclamation policies through static kernel code. This limits flexibility for specialized workloads and use cases that require custom memory management strategies. By enabling eBPF programs to hook into key memory control operations, administrators can implement custom policies without recompiling the kernel, while maintaining the safety guarantees provided by the BPF verifier. Use Cases 1. Custom memory reclamation strategies for specialized workloads 2. Dynamic memory pressure monitoring and telemetry 3. Memory accounting adjustments based on runtime conditions 4. Integration with container orchestration systems for intelligent resource management 5. Research and experimentation with novel memory management algorithms Design Overview This series introduces: 1. A new BPF struct ops type (`memcg_ops`) that allows eBPF programs to implement custom behavior for memory charging operations. 2. A hook point in the `try_charge_memcg()` fast path that invokes registered eBPF programs to determine if custom memory management should be applied. 3. The eBPF handler can inspect memory cgroup context and optionally modify certain parameters (e.g., `nr_pages` for reclamation size). 4. A reference counting mechanism using `percpu_ref` to safely manage the lifecycle of registered eBPF struct ops instances. 5. Configuration via `CONFIG_MEMCG_BPF` to allow disabling this feature at build time. Implementation Details - Uses BPF struct ops for a cleaner integration model - Leverages static branch keys for minimal overhead when feature is unused - RCU synchronization ensures safe replacement of handlers - Sample eBPF program demonstrates monitoring capabilities - Comprehensive selftest suite validates core functionality Performance Considerations - Zero overhead when feature is disabled or no eBPF program is loaded (static branch is disabled) - Minimal overhead when enabled: one indirect function call per charge attempt - eBPF programs run under the restrictions of the BPF verifier Patch Overview PATCH 1/3: Core kernel implementation - Adds eBPF struct ops support to memcg - Introduces CONFIG_MEMCG_BPF option - Implements safe registration/unregistration mechanism PATCH 2/3: Selftest suite - prog_tests/memcg_ops.c: Test entry points - progs/memcg_ops.bpf.c: Test eBPF program - Validates load, attach, and single-handler constraints PATCH 3/3: Sample userspace program - samples/bpf/memcg_printk.bpf.c: Monitoring eBPF program - samples/bpf/memcg_printk.c: Userspace loader - Demonstrates real-world usage and debugging capabilities Open Questions & Discussion Points 1. Should the eBPF handler have access to additional memory cgroup state? Current design exposes minimal context to reduce attack surface. 2. Are there other memory control operations that would benefit from eBPF extensibility (e.g., uncharge, reclaim)? 3. Should there be permission checks or restrictions on who can load memcg eBPF programs? Currently inherits BPF's CAP_PERFMON/CAP_SYS_ADMIN requirements. 4. How should we handle multiple eBPF programs trying to register? Current implementation allows only one active handler. 5. Is the current exposed context in `try_charge_memcg` struct sufficient, or should additional fields be added? Testing The selftests provide comprehensive coverage of the core functionality. The sample program can be used for manual testing and as a reference for implementing additional monitoring tools.

[PATCH] selftests/mm/uffd: initialize char variable to Null

by Ankit Khushwaha

In "uffd-stress.c" & "uffd-unit-tests.c". address of char variable having garbage value (uninitialized) is passed to 'write' syscall triggers warning. uffd-stress.c:246:39: warning: variable 'c' is uninitialized when passed as a const pointer argument here [-Wuninitialized-const-pointer] uffd-unit-tests.c:581:31: warning: variable 'c' is uninitialized when passed as a const pointer argument here [-Wuninitialized-const-pointer] so the fix is to assign char variable to '\0' to prevent writing of garbage value.
