During BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD on a btf_fd, the current bpf_attr's
info.info is directly filled with the BTF binary data. It is
not extensible. In this case, we want to add BTF ID.

This patch gives an ID to each loaded BTF. The ID is allocated by
the idr like the existing prog-id and map-id.
The bpf_put(map->btf) is moved to __bpf_map_put() so that the
userspace can stop seeing the BTF ID ASAP when the last BTF
refcnt is gone.
It also makes BTF accessible from userspace through the
1. new BPF_BTF_GET_FD_BY_ID command. It is limited to CAP_SYS_ADMIN
which is inline with the BPF_BTF_LOAD cmd and the existing
BPF_[MAP|PROG]_GET_FD_BY_ID cmd.
2. new btf_id (and btf_key_id + btf_value_id) in "struct bpf_map_info"
Once the BTF ID handler is accessible from userspace, freeing a BTF
object has to go through a rcu period. The BPF_BTF_GET_FD_BY_ID cmd
can then be done under a rcu_read_lock() instead of taking
spin_lock.
[Note: A similar rcu usage can be done to the existing
bpf_prog_get_fd_by_id() in a follow up patch]
When processing the BPF_BTF_GET_FD_BY_ID cmd,
refcount_inc_not_zero() is needed because the BTF object
could be already in the rcu dead row . btf_get() is
removed since its usage is currently limited to btf.c
alone. refcount_inc() is used directly instead.

When computing the bitrate using values read from an SFP module EEPROM,
we use the nominal BR plus BR,min and BR,max to determine the

led the SFP code to end up having the nominal value for both the minimum

value should be used as the maximum one, and there is no minimum one

bnxt_en: Fixes for net-next.
This series includes a bug fix for a regression in firmware message polling

PHY eeprom length.
====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
The current code already forwards the VF MAC address to the PF, except
in one case. If the VF driver gets a valid MAC address from the firmware
during probe time, it will not forward the MAC address to the PF,
incorrectly assuming that the PF already knows the MAC address. This
causes "ip link show" to show zero VF MAC addresses for this case.
This assumption is not correct. Newer firmware remembers the VF MAC
address last used by the VF and provides it to the VF driver during
probe. So we need to always forward the VF MAC address to the PF.
The forwarded MAC address may now be the PF assigned MAC address and so we
need to make sure we approve it for this case.

A recent change to reduce delay granularity waiting for firmware
reponse has caused a regression. With a tighter delay loop,
the driver may see the beginning part of the response faster.
The original 5 usec delay to wait for the rest of the message
is not long enough and some messages are detected as invalid.
Increase the maximum wait time from 5 usec to 20 usec. Also, fix
the debug message that shows the total delay time for the response
when the message times out. With the new logic, the delay time
is not fixed per iteration of the loop, so we define a macro to

When the core networking needs to detect the transport offset in a given
packet and parse it explicitly, a full-blown flow_keys struct is used for
storage.
This patch introduces a smaller keys store, rework the basic flow dissect
helper to use it, and apply this new helper where possible - namely in
skb_probe_transport_header(). The used flow dissector data structures
are renamed to match more closely the new role.
The above gives ~50% performance improvement in micro benchmarking around
skb_probe_transport_header() and ~30% around eth_get_headlen(), mostly due
to the smaller memset. Small, but measurable improvement is measured also
in macro benchmarking.

`mf_mode' field indicates the multi-partitioning mode the device is

are needed for the new mode or not.
The patch defines a set of bit-fields for modes which are derived according
to the mode info shared by the MFW and all the configuration would be made
according to those. To add a new mode, there would be a single place where
we'll need to go and choose which bits apply and which don't.

IPv6 Segment Routing Header (SRH) contains a list of SIDs to be crossed
by SR encapsulated packet. Each SID is encoded as an IPv6 prefix.
When a Firewall receives an SR encapsulated packet, it should be able
to identify which node previously processed the packet (previous SID),
which node is going to process the packet next (next SID), and which
node is the last to process the packet (last SID) which represent the
final destination of the packet in case of inline SR mode.
An example use-case of using these features could be SID list that
includes two firewalls. When the second firewall receives a packet,
it can check whether the packet has been processed by the first firewall
or not. Based on that check, it decides to apply all rules, apply just
subset of the rules, or totally skip all rules and forward the packet to
the next SID.
This patch extends SRH match to support matching previous SID, next SID,

====================
This series centres on NFP offload of bpf_event_output(). The
first patch allows perf event arrays to be used by offloaded
programs. Next patch makes the nfp driver keep track of such
arrays to be able to filter FW events referring to maps.
Perf event arrays are not device bound. Having driver
reimplement and manage the perf array seems brittle and unnecessary.
Patch 4 moves slightly the verifier step which replaces map fds
with map pointers. This is useful for nfp JIT since we can then
easily replace host pointers with NFP table ids (patch 6). This
allows us to lift the limitation on map helpers having to be used
with the same map pointer on all paths. Second use of replacing
fds with real host map pointers is that we can use the host map
pointer as a key for FW events in perf event array offload.
Patch 5 adds perf event output offload support for the NFP.
There are some differences between bpf_event_output() offloaded
and non-offloaded version. The FW messages which carry events
may get dropped and reordered relatively easily. The return codes
from the helper are also not guaranteed to match the host. Users
are warned about some of those discrepancies with a one time
warning message to kernel logs.
bpftool gains an ability to dump perf ring events in a very simple
format. This was very useful for testing and simple debug, maybe
it will be useful to others?
