Remove DECnet support from kernel

2023-06-21T13:59:15Z

commit 1202cdd665315c525b5237e96e0bedc76d7e754f upstream. DECnet is an obsolete network protocol that receives more attention from kernel janitors than users. It belongs in computer protocol history museum not in Linux kernel. It has been "Orphaned" in kernel since 2010. The iproute2 support for DECnet was dropped in 5.0 release. The documentation link on Sourceforge says it is abandoned there as well. Leave the UAPI alone to keep userspace programs compiling. This means that there is still an empty neighbour table for AF_DECNET. The table of /proc/sys/net entries was updated to match current directories and reformatted to be alphabetical.

landlock: Reduce the maximum number of layers to 16

2022-06-09T08:23:24Z

commit 75c542d6c6cc48720376862d5496d51509160dfd upstream. The maximum number of nested Landlock domains is currently 64. Because of the following fix and to help reduce the stack size, let's reduce it to 16. This seems large enough for a lot of use cases (e.g. sandboxed init service, spawning a sandboxed SSH service, in nested sandboxed containers). Reducing the number of nested domains may also help to discover misuse of Landlock (e.g. creating a domain per rule). Add and use a dedicated layer_mask_t typedef to fit with the number of layers. This might be useful when changing it and to keep it consistent with the maximum number of layers.

vduse: Introduce VDUSE - vDPA Device in Userspace

2021-09-06T11:20:58Z

This VDUSE driver enables implementing software-emulated vDPA devices in userspace. The vDPA device is created by ioctl(VDUSE_CREATE_DEV) on /dev/vduse/control. Then a char device interface (/dev/vduse/$NAME) is exported to userspace for device emulation. In order to make the device emulation more secure, the device's control path is handled in kernel. A message mechnism is introduced to forward some dataplane related control messages to userspace. And in the data path, the DMA buffer will be mapped into userspace address space through different ways depending on the vDPA bus to which the vDPA device is attached. In virtio-vdpa case, the MMU-based software IOTLB is used to achieve that. And in vhost-vdpa case, the DMA buffer is reside in a userspace memory region which can be shared to the VDUSE userspace processs via transferring the shmfd. For more details on VDUSE design and usage, please see the follow-on Documentation commit. NB(mst): when merging this with b542e383d8c0 ("eventfd: Make signal recursion protection a task bit") replace eventfd_signal_count with eventfd_signal_allowed, and drop the previous ("eventfd: Export eventfd_wake_count to modules").
