commit 2293c57484ae64c9a3c847c8807db8c26a3a4d41 upstream.

During the connection establishment, a peer can tell the other one that
it cannot establish new subflows to the initial IP address and port by
setting the 'C' flag [1]. Doing so makes sense when the sender is behind
a strict NAT, operating behind a legacy Layer 4 load balancer, or using
anycast IP address for example.

When this 'C' flag is set, the path-managers must then not try to
establish new subflows to the other peer's initial IP address and port.
The in-kernel PM has access to this info, but the userspace PM didn't.

The RFC8684 [1] is strict about that:

  (...) therefore the receiver MUST NOT try to open any additional
  subflows toward this address and port.

So it is important to tell the userspace about that as it is responsible
for the respect of this flag.

When a new connection is created and established, the Netlink events
now contain the existing but not currently used 'flags' attribute. When
MPTCP_PM_EV_FLAG_DENY_JOIN_ID0 is set, it means no other subflows
to the initial IP address and port -- info that are also part of the
event -- can be established.

[ Upstream commit 9e6dd4c256d0774701637b958ba682eff4991277 ]

We're trying to add a strict regexp for the name format in the spec.
Underscores will not be allowed, dashes should be used instead.
This makes no difference to C (codegen, if used, replaces special
chars in names) but it gives more uniform naming in Python.

[ Upstream commit bea87657b5ee8e6f18af2833ee4b88212ef52d28 ]

The rendered version of the MPTCP events [1] looked strange, because the
whole content of the 'doc' was displayed in the same block.

It was then not clear that the first words, not even ended by a period,
were the attributes that are defined when such events are emitted. These
attributes have now been moved to the end, prefixed by 'Attributes:' and
ended with a period. Note that '&gt;-' has been added after 'doc:' to allow
':' in the text below.

The documentation in the UAPI header has been auto-generated by:

<title>PCI: Store all PCIe Supported Link Speeds</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit d2bd39c0456b75be9dfc7d774b8d021355c26ae3 ]

The PCIe bandwidth controller added by a subsequent commit will require
selecting PCIe Link Speeds that are lower than the Maximum Link Speed.

The struct pci_bus only stores max_bus_speed. Even if PCIe r6.1 sec 8.2.1
currently disallows gaps in supported Link Speeds, the Implementation Note
in PCIe r6.1 sec 7.5.3.18, recommends determining supported Link Speeds
using the Supported Link Speeds Vector in the Link Capabilities 2 Register
(when available) to "avoid software being confused if a future
specification defines Links that do not require support for all slower
speeds."

Reuse code in pcie_get_speed_cap() to add pcie_get_supported_speeds() to
query the Supported Link Speeds Vector of a PCIe device. The value is taken
directly from the Supported Link Speeds Vector or synthesized from the Max
Link Speed in the Link Capabilities Register when the Link Capabilities 2
Register is not available.

The Supported Link Speeds Vector in the Link Capabilities Register 2
corresponds to the bus below on Root Ports and Downstream Ports, whereas it
corresponds to the bus above on Upstream Ports and Endpoints (PCIe r6.1 sec
7.5.3.18):

  Supported Link Speeds Vector - This field indicates the supported Link
  speed(s) of the associated Port.

Add supported_speeds into the struct pci_dev that caches the
Supported Link Speeds Vector.

supported_speeds contains a set of Link Speeds only in the case where PCIe
Link Speed can be determined. Root Complex Integrated Endpoints do not have
a well-defined Link Speed because they do not implement either of the Link
Capabilities Registers, which is allowed by PCIe r6.1 sec 7.5.3 (the same
limitation applies to determining cur_bus_speed and max_bus_speed that are
PCI_SPEED_UNKNOWN in such case). This is of no concern from PCIe bandwidth
controller point of view because such devices are not attached into a PCIe
Root Port that could be controlled.

The supported_speeds field keeps the extra reserved zero at the least
significant bit to match the Link Capabilities 2 Register layout.

An attempt was made to store supported_speeds field into the struct pci_bus
as an intersection of both ends of the Link, however, the subordinate
struct pci_bus is not available early enough. The Target Speed quirk (in
pcie_failed_link_retrain()) can run either during initial scan or later,
requiring it to use the API provided by the PCIe bandwidth controller to
set the Target Link Speed in order to co-exist with the bandwidth
controller. When the Target Speed quirk is calling the bandwidth controller
during initial scan, the struct pci_bus is not yet initialized. As such,
storing supported_speeds into the struct pci_bus is not viable.

[ Upstream commit 31557b3487b349464daf42bc4366153743c1e727 ]

A decade ago commit 6d08acd2d32e ("in6: fix conflict with glibc")
hid the definitions of IPV6 options, because GCC was complaining
about duplicates. The commit did not list the warnings seen, but
trying to recreate them now I think they are (building iproute2):

In file included from ./include/uapi/rdma/rdma_user_cm.h:39,
                 from rdma.h:16,
                 from res.h:9,
                 from res-ctx.c:7:
../include/uapi/linux/in6.h:171:9: warning: ‘IPV6_ADD_MEMBERSHIP’ redefined
  171 | #define IPV6_ADD_MEMBERSHIP     20
      |         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In file included from /usr/include/netinet/in.h:37,
                 from rdma.h:13:
/usr/include/bits/in.h:233:10: note: this is the location of the previous definition
  233 | # define IPV6_ADD_MEMBERSHIP    IPV6_JOIN_GROUP
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
../include/uapi/linux/in6.h:172:9: warning: ‘IPV6_DROP_MEMBERSHIP’ redefined
  172 | #define IPV6_DROP_MEMBERSHIP    21

  234 | # define IPV6_DROP_MEMBERSHIP   IPV6_LEAVE_GROUP
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Compilers don't complain about redefinition if the defines
are identical, but here we have the kernel using the literal
value, and glibc using an indirection (defining to a name
of another define, with the same numerical value).

Problem is, the commit in question hid all the IPV6 socket
options, and glibc has a pretty sparse list. For instance
it lacks Flow Label related options. Willem called this out
in commit 3fb321fde22d ("selftests/net: ipv6 flowlabel"):

  /* uapi/glibc weirdness may leave this undefined */
  #ifndef IPV6_FLOWINFO
  #define IPV6_FLOWINFO 11
  #endif

More interestingly some applications (socat) use
a #ifdef IPV6_FLOWINFO to gate compilation of thier
rudimentary flow label support. (For added confusion
socat misspells it as IPV4_FLOWINFO in some places.)

Hide only the two defines we know glibc has a problem
with. If we discover more warnings we can hide more
but we should avoid covering the entire block of
defines for "IPV6 socket options".

__kernel_rwf_t is defined as int, the actual size of which is
implementation defined. It won't go well if some compiler / archs
ever defines it as i64, so replace it with __u32, hoping that
there is no one using i16 for it.

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 7d9896e9f6d02d8aa85e63f736871f96c59a5263 ]

Since commit 6e890c5d5021 ("vhost: use vhost_tasks for worker threads"),
the vhost uses vhost_task and operates as a child of the
owner thread. This is required for correct CPU usage accounting,
especially when using containers.

However, this change has caused confusion for some legacy
userspace applications, and we didn't notice until it's too late.

Unfortunately, it's too late to revert - we now have userspace
depending both on old and new behaviour :(

To address the issue, reintroduce kthread mode for vhost workers and
provide a configuration to select between kthread and task worker.

- Add 'fork_owner' parameter to vhost_dev to let users select kthread
  or task mode. Default mode is task mode(VHOST_FORK_OWNER_TASK).

- Reintroduce kthread mode support:
  * Bring back the original vhost_worker() implementation,
    and renamed to vhost_run_work_kthread_list().
  * Add cgroup support for the kthread
  * Introduce struct vhost_worker_ops:
    - Encapsulates create / stop / wake‑up callbacks.
    - vhost_worker_create() selects the proper ops according to
      inherit_owner.

- Userspace configuration interface:
  * New IOCTLs:
      - VHOST_SET_FORK_FROM_OWNER lets userspace select task mode
        (VHOST_FORK_OWNER_TASK) or kthread mode (VHOST_FORK_OWNER_KTHREAD)
      - VHOST_GET_FORK_FROM_OWNER reads the current worker mode
  * Expose module parameter 'fork_from_owner_default' to allow system
    administrators to configure the default mode for vhost workers
  * Kconfig option CONFIG_VHOST_ENABLE_FORK_OWNER_CONTROL controls whether
    these IOCTLs and the parameter are available

- The VHOST_NEW_WORKER functionality requires fork_owner to be set
  to true, with validation added to ensure proper configuration

This partially reverts or improves upon:
  commit 6e890c5d5021 ("vhost: use vhost_tasks for worker threads")
  commit 1cdaafa1b8b4 ("vhost: replace single worker pointer with xarray")
