====================
bpf-next-for-netdev
The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree.

We've added 22 non-merge commits during the last 3 day(s) which contain
a total of 23 files changed, 652 insertions(+), 431 deletions(-).

The main changes are:

1) Add verifier support for annotating user's global BPF subprogram arguments
   with few commonly requested annotations for a better developer experience,
   from Andrii Nakryiko.

   These tags are:
     - Ability to annotate a special PTR_TO_CTX argument
     - Ability to annotate a generic PTR_TO_MEM as non-NULL

2) Support BPF verifier tracking of BPF_JNE which helps cases when the compiler
   transforms (unsigned) "a > 0" into "if a == 0 goto xxx" and the like, from
   Menglong Dong.

3) Fix a warning in bpf_mem_cache's check_obj_size() as reported by LKP, from Hou Tao.

4) Re-support uid/gid options when mounting bpffs which had to be reverted with
   the prior token series revert to avoid conflicts, from Daniel Borkmann.

5) Fix a libbpf NULL pointer dereference in bpf_object__collect_prog_relos() found
   from fuzzing the library with malformed ELF files, from Mingyi Zhang.

6) Skip DWARF sections in libbpf's linker sanity check given compiler options to
   generate compressed debug sections can trigger a rejection due to misalignment,
   from Alyssa Ross.

7) Fix an unnecessary use of the comma operator in BPF verifier, from Simon Horman.

8) Fix format specifier for unsigned long values in cpustat sample, from Colin Ian King.

      net: mdio: get/put device node during (un)registration · cff9c565
      Luiz Angelo Daros de Luca authored 
      

The __of_mdiobus_register() function was storing the device node in
dev.of_node without increasing its reference count. It implicitly relied
on the caller to maintain the allocated node until the mdiobus was
unregistered.

Now, __of_mdiobus_register() will acquire the node before assigning it,
and of_mdiobus_unregister_callback() will be called at the end of
mdio_unregister().

Drivers can now release the node immediately after MDIO registration.
Some of them are already doing that even before this patch.

mlx5-updates-2023-12-20

mlx5 Socket direct support and management PF profile.

Tariq Says:
===========
Support Socket-Direct multi-dev netdev

This series adds support for combining multiple devices (PFs) of the
same port under one netdev instance. Passing traffic through different
devices belonging to different NUMA sockets saves cross-numa traffic and
allows apps running on the same netdev from different numas to still
feel a sense of proximity to the device and achieve improved
performance.

We achieve this by grouping PFs together, and creating the netdev only
once all group members are probed. Symmetrically, we destroy the netdev
once any of the PFs is removed.

The channels are distributed between all devices, a proper configuration
would utilize the correct close numa when working on a certain app/cpu.

We pick one device to be a primary (leader), and it fills a special
role.  The other devices (secondaries) are disconnected from the network
in the chip level (set to silent mode). All RX/TX traffic is steered
through the primary to/from the secondaries.

Currently, we limit the support to PFs only, and up to two devices
(sockets).

Armen Says:
===========
Management PF support and module integration

This patch rolls out comprehensive support for the Management Physical
Function (MGMT PF) within the mlx5 driver. It involves updating the
mlx5 interface header to introduce necessary definitions for MGMT PF
and adding a new management PF netdev profile, which will allow the host
side to communicate with the embedded linux on Blue-field devices.
