Pull more random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld: "This time with some large scale treewide cleanups. The intent of this pull is to clean up the way callers fetch random integers. The current rules for doing this right are: - If you want a secure or an insecure random u64, use get_random_u64() - If you want a secure or an insecure random u32, use get_random_u32() The old function prandom_u32() has been deprecated for a while now and is just a wrapper around get_random_u32(). Same for get_random_int(). - If you want a secure or an insecure random u16, use get_random_u16() - If you want a secure or an insecure random u8, use get_random_u8() - If you want secure or insecure random bytes, use get_random_bytes(). The old function prandom_bytes() has been deprecated for a while now and has long been a wrapper around get_random_bytes() - If you want a non-uniform random u32, u16, or u8 bounded by a certain open interval maximum, use prandom_u32_max() I say "non-uniform", because it doesn't do any rejection sampling or divisions. Hence, it stays within the prandom_*() namespace, not the get_random_*() namespace. I'm currently investigating a "uniform" function for 6.2. We'll see what comes of that. By applying these rules uniformly, we get several benefits: - By using prandom_u32_max() with an upper-bound that the compiler can prove at compile-time is ≤65536 or ≤256, internally get_random_u16() or get_random_u8() is used, which wastes fewer batched random bytes, and hence has higher throughput. - By using prandom_u32_max() instead of %, when the upper-bound is not a constant, division is still avoided, because prandom_u32_max() uses a faster multiplication-based trick instead. - By using get_random_u16() or get_random_u8() in cases where the return value is intended to indeed be a u16 or a u8, we waste fewer batched random bytes, and hence have higher throughput. This series was originally done by hand while I was on an airplane without Internet. Later, Kees and I worked on retroactively figuring out what could be done with Coccinelle and what had to be done manually, and then we split things up based on that. So while this touches a lot of files, the actual amount of code that's hand fiddled is comfortably small" * tag 'random-6.1-rc1-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/crng/random: prandom: remove unused functions treewide: use get_random_bytes() when possible treewide: use get_random_u32() when possible treewide: use get_random_{u8,u16}() when possible, part 2 treewide: use get_random_{u8,u16}() when possible, part 1 treewide: use prandom_u32_max() when possible, part 2 treewide: use prandom_u32_max() when possible, part 1

treewide: use get_random_u32() when possible

2022-10-11T23:42:58Z

The prandom_u32() function has been a deprecated inline wrapper around get_random_u32() for several releases now, and compiles down to the exact same code. Replace the deprecated wrapper with a direct call to the real function. The same also applies to get_random_int(), which is just a wrapper around get_random_u32(). This was done as a basic find and replace.

ethtool: add interface to interact with Ethernet Power Equipment

2022-10-04T00:33:57Z

Add interface to support Power Sourcing Equipment. At current step it provides generic way to address all variants of PSE devices as defined in IEEE 802.3-2018 but support only objects specified for IEEE 802.3-2018 104.4 PoDL Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE). Currently supported and mandatory objects are: IEEE 802.3-2018 30.15.1.1.3 aPoDLPSEPowerDetectionStatus IEEE 802.3-2018 30.15.1.1.2 aPoDLPSEAdminState IEEE 802.3-2018 30.15.1.2.1 acPoDLPSEAdminControl This is minimal interface needed to control PSE on each separate ethernet port but it provides not all mandatory objects specified in IEEE 802.3-2018. Since "PoDL PSE" and "PSE" have similar names, but some different values I decide to not merge them and keep separate naming schema. This should allow as to be as close to IEEE 802.3 spec as possible and avoid name conflicts in the future. This implementation is connected to PHYs instead of MACs because PSE auto classification can potentially interfere with PHY auto negotiation. So, may be some extra PHY related initialization will be needed. With WIP version of ethtools interaction with PSE capable link looks as following: $ ip l ... 5: t1l1@eth0: .. ... $ ethtool --show-pse t1l1 PSE attributs for t1l1: PoDL PSE Admin State: disabled PoDL PSE Power Detection Status: disabled $ ethtool --set-pse t1l1 podl-pse-admin-control enable $ ethtool --show-pse t1l1 PSE attributs for t1l1: PoDL PSE Admin State: enabled PoDL PSE Power Detection Status: delivering power Signed-off-by: kernel test robot Signed-off-by: Oleksij Rempel Reviewed-by: Bagas Sanjaya Reviewed-by: Andrew Lunn Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

net: phy: Add support for rate matching

2022-09-23T10:55:35Z

This adds support for rate matching (also known as rate adaptation) to the phy subsystem. The general idea is that the phy interface runs at one speed, and the MAC throttles the rate at which it sends packets to the link speed. There's a good overview of several techniques for achieving this at [1]. This patch adds support for three: pause-frame based (such as in Aquantia phys), CRS-based (such as in 10PASS-TS and 2BASE-TL), and open-loop-based (such as in 10GBASE-W). This patch makes a few assumptions and a few non assumptions about the types of rate matching available. First, it assumes that different phys may use different forms of rate matching. Second, it assumes that phys can use rate matching for any of their supported link speeds (e.g. if a phy supports 10BASE-T and XGMII, then it can adapt XGMII to 10BASE-T). Third, it does not assume that all interface modes will use the same form of rate matching. Fourth, it does not assume that all phy devices will support rate matching (even if some do). Relaxing or strengthening these (non-)assumptions could result in a different API. For example, if all interface modes were assumed to use the same form of rate matching, then a bitmask of interface modes supportting rate matching would suffice. For some better visibility into the process, the current rate matching mode is exposed as part of the ethtool ksettings. For the moment, only read access is supported. I'm not sure what userspace might want to configure yet (disable it altogether, disable just one mode, specify the mode to use, etc.). For the moment, since only pause-based rate adaptation support is added in the next few commits, rate matching can be disabled altogether by adjusting the advertisement. 802.3 calls this feature "rate adaptation" in clause 49 (10GBASE-R) and "rate matching" in clause 61 (10PASS-TL and 2BASE-TS). Aquantia also calls this feature "rate adaptation". I chose "rate matching" because it is shorter, and because Russell doesn't think "adaptation" is correct in this context.

net/smc: Unbind r/w buffer size from clcsock and make them tunable

2022-09-22T10:58:21Z

Currently, SMC uses smc->sk.sk_{rcv|snd}buf to create buffers for send buffer and RMB. And the values of buffer size are from tcp_{w|r}mem in clcsock. The buffer size from TCP socket doesn't fit SMC well. Generally, buffers are usually larger than TCP for SMC-R/-D to get higher performance, for they are different underlay devices and paths. So this patch unbinds buffer size from TCP, and introduces two sysctl knobs to tune them independently. Also, these knobs are per net namespace and work for containers.

net/smc: Introduce a specific sysctl for TEST_LINK time

2022-09-22T10:58:21Z

SMC-R tests the viability of link by sending out TEST_LINK LLC messages over RoCE fabric when connections on link have been idle for a time longer than keepalive interval (testlink time). But using tcp_keepalive_time as testlink time maybe not quite suitable because it is default no less than two hours[1], which is too long for single link to find peer dead. The active host will still use peer-dead link (QP) sending messages, and can't find out until get IB_WC_RETRY_EXC_ERR error CQEs, which takes more time than TEST_LINK timeout (SMC_LLC_WAIT_TIME) normally. So this patch introduces a independent sysctl for SMC-R to set link keepalive time, in order to detect link down in time. The default value is 30 seconds.
