The notify property should point at the object the notifications
carry, usually the get object, not the cmd which triggers
the notification:
notify:

this notification.
Not treating this as a fix, I think that only C codegen cares.

The consistency check complains replies to do and dump don't match
because dump has no value. It doesn't have to by the schema... but
fixing this in code gen would be more code than adjusting the spec.

We started generating C code for OvS a while back, but actually
C codegen only supports fixed headers specified at the family
level right now (schema also allows specifying them per op).
ovs_flow and ovs_datapath already specify the fixed header
at the family level but ovs_vport does it per op.
Move the property, all ops use the same header.
This ensures YNL C sees the correct hdr_len:
const struct ynl_family ynl_ovs_vport_family = {

The rtnetlink family names are set to rt-$name within the YAML
but the files are called rt_$name. C codegen assumes that the
generated file name will match the family. The use of dashes
is in line with our general expectation that name properties
in the spec use dashes not underscores (even tho, as Donald
points out most genl families use underscores in the name).
We have 3 un-ideal options to choose from:
- accept the slight inconsistency with old families using _, or
- accept the slight annoyance with all languages having to do s/-/_/
when looking up family ID, or
- accept the inconsistency with all name properties in new YAML spec
being separated with - and just the family name always using _.
Pick option 1 and rename the rtnl spec files.

The legacy rpc.nfsd tool will set the nlm_grace_period if the NFSv4
grace period is set. nfsdctl is missing this functionality, so add a new
netlink control interface for lockd that it can use. For now, it only
allows setting the grace period, and the tcp and udp listener ports.
lockd currently uses module parameters and sysctls for configuration, so
all of its settings are global. With this change, lockd now tracks these
values on a per-net-ns basis. It will only fall back to using the global
values if any of them are 0.
Finally, as a backward compatibility measure, if updating the nlm
settings in the init_net namespace, also update the legacy global
values to match.

Could be just me, but I had to pause and double check that the Tx csum
counter in qstat should include GSO'd packets. GSO pretty much implies
csum so one could possibly interpret the csum counter as pure csum offload.
But the counters are based on virtio:
[tx_needs_csum]
The number of packets which require checksum calculation by the device.
[rx_needs_csum]
The number of packets with VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_NEEDS_CSUM.
and VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_NEEDS_CSUM gets set on GSO packets virtio sends.
Clarify this in the spec to avoid any confusion.

io_uring zero copy rx
This patchset contains net/ patches needed by a new io_uring request
implementing zero copy rx into userspace pages, eliminating a kernel
to user copy.
We configure a page pool that a driver uses to fill a hw rx queue to
hand out user pages instead of kernel pages. Any data that ends up
hitting this hw rx queue will thus be dma'd into userspace memory
directly, without needing to be bounced through kernel memory. 'Reading'
data out of a socket instead becomes a _notification_ mechanism, where
the kernel tells userspace where the data is. The overall approach is
similar to the devmem TCP proposal.
This relies on hw header/data split, flow steering and RSS to ensure
packet headers remain in kernel memory and only desired flows hit a hw
rx queue configured for zero copy. Configuring this is outside of the
scope of this patchset.
We share netdev core infra with devmem TCP. The main difference is that
io_uring is used for the uAPI and the lifetime of all objects are bound
to an io_uring instance. Data is 'read' using a new io_uring request
type. When done, data is returned via a new shared refill queue. A zero
copy page pool refills a hw rx queue from this refill queue directly. Of
course, the lifetime of these data buffers are managed by io_uring
rather than the networking stack, with different refcounting rules.
This patchset is the first step adding basic zero copy support. We will
extend this iteratively with new features e.g. dynamically allocated
zero copy areas, THP support, dmabuf support, improved copy fallback,
general optimisations and more.
In terms of netdev support, we're first targeting Broadcom bnxt. Patches
aren't included since Taehee Yoo has already sent a more comprehensive
patchset adding support in [1]. Google gve should already support this,
and Mellanox mlx5 support is WIP pending driver changes.

Note: Comparison with epoll + TCP_ZEROCOPY_RECEIVE isn't done yet.
Test setup:
* AMD EPYC 9454
* Broadcom BCM957508 200G
* Kernel v6.11 base [2]
* liburing fork [3]
* kperf fork [4]
* 4K MTU
* Single TCP flow
