+3fdaa17 & 30 Oct 2023 & jeshwank & { virtio-tee: Reserve device ID 46 for TEE device
+
+
+In a virtual environment, an application running in guest VM may want
+to delegate security sensitive tasks to a Trusted Application (TA)
+running within a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE). A TEE is a trusted
+OS running in some secure environment, for example, TrustZone on ARM
+CPUs, or a separate secure co-processor etc.
+
+A virtual TEE device emulates a TEE within a guest VM. Such a virtual
+TEE device supports multiple operations such as:
+
+VIRTIO_TEE_CMD_OPEN_DEVICE – Open a communication channel with virtio
+ TEE device.
+VIRTIO_TEE_CMD_CLOSE_DEVICE – Close communication channel with virtio
+ TEE device.
+VIRTIO_TEE_CMD_GET_VERSION – Get version of virtio TEE.
+VIRTIO_TEE_CMD_OPEN_SESSION – Open a session to communicate with
+ trusted application running in TEE.
+VIRTIO_TEE_CMD_CLOSE_SESSION – Close a session to end communication
+ with trusted application running in TEE.
+VIRTIO_TEE_CMD_INVOKE_FUNC – Invoke a command or function in trusted
+ application running in TEE.
+VIRTIO_TEE_CMD_CANCEL_REQ – Cancel an ongoing command within TEE.
+VIRTIO_TEE_CMD_REGISTER_MEM - Register shared memory with TEE.
+VIRTIO_TEE_CMD_UNREGISTER_MEM - Unregister shared memory from TEE.
+
+We would like to reserve device ID 46 for Virtio-TEE device.

+
+
+Commit 84a1d9c48200 ("net: ethtool: extend RXNFC API to support RSS spreading of
+filter matches") adds support for RSS context as a destination for receive flow filters
+(see WIP work: \url{https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/virtio-comment/202308/msg00194.html).}
+
+An RSS context consists of configurable parameters specified by receive-side scaling.
+
+Some use cases:
+1. When users want some data flows to be steered to specific multiple rxqs, they can set
+ receive flow filter rules for these data flows to an RSS context with desired rxqs.
+2. Traffic isolation. Used when users want the traffic of certain applications to occupy
+ several queues without being distubed.
+
+How to set/configure an RSS context:
+Assuming no RSS context has been created before.
+1. ethtool -X eth0 context new start 5 equal 8
+
+This command creates an RSS context with an id=1 for eth0, and fills in the indirection
+table with rxq indexes 5-8 circularly. The hash key and hash types reuse the default
+RSS configuration.
+
+Then, we can use 'ethtool -x eth0 context 1' to query the above configuration.
+
+2. ethtool -X eth0 context new start 6 equal 7 \textbackslash
+ hkey 8f:bf:dd:11:23:58:d2:8a:00:31:d0:32:a3:b5:1f:\textbackslash
+ 1f:e4:d1:fe:47:7f:64:42:fd:d0:61:16:b8:b0:f9:71:e8:2d:36:7f:18:dd:4d:c8:f3
+
+This command creates an RSS context with an id=2 for eth0, and fills in the indirection
+table with rxq indexes 6-7 circularly. The hash key is 8f:bf:dd:11:23:58:d2:8a:00:31:d0\textbackslash
+:32:a3:b5:1f:1f:e4:d1:fe:47:7f:64:42:fd:d0:61:16:b8:b0:f9:71:e8:2d:36:7f:18:dd:4d:c8:f3.
+Hash types reuse the default RSS configuration.
+
+3. ethtool -N eth0 rx-flow-hash tcp4 sdfn context 1
+
+This command specifies the hash types for the RSS context whose id=1 on eth0.
+Now this RSS context only has the hash key to reuse the default RSS configuration.
+
+4. ethtool -N eth0 flow-type udp4 src-ip 1.1.1.1 context 1
+
+This command configures a receive flow filter rule for eth0, and the data flow matching
+this rule will continue to select the final rxq according to the RSS context configuration
+with id=1.

+7b3bdd6 & 11 Jul 2024 & Parav Pandit & { virtio-net: Add theory of operation for flow filter
+
+
+Currently packet allow/drop interface has following limitations.
+
+1. Driver can either select which MAC and VLANs to consider
+for allowing/dropping packets, here, the driver has a
+limitation that driver needs to supply full mac
+table or full vlan table for each type. Driver cannot add or
+delete an individual entry.
+
+2. Driver cannot select mac+vlan combination for which
+to allow/drop packet.
+
+3. Driver cannot not set other commonly used packet match fields
+such as IP header fields, TCP, UDP, SCP header fields.
+
+4. Driver cannot steer specific packets based on the match
+fields to specific receiveq.
+
+5. Driver do not have multiple or dedicated virtqueues to
+ perform flow filter requests in accelerated manner in
+ the device.
+
+Flow filter as a generic framework overcome above limitations.
+
+As starting point it is useful to support at least two use cases.
+a. ARFS
+b. ethtool ntuple steering
+
+In future it can be further extended for usecases such as
+switching device, connection tracking or may be more.
+
+The flow filter has following properties.
+
+1. It is an extendible object that driver can create, destroy.
+2. It belongs to a flow filter group.
+3. Each flow filter rule is identified using a unique id,
+ has priority, match key, destination(rq) and action(allow/drop).
+4. Flow filter key also refers to the mask to learn which fields
+ of the packets to match.
+
+This patch adds theory of operation for flow filter functionality.

+Before, the behavior while suspending to a deep sleep state and waking
+up was not specified. For example, in x86 QEMU VM all devices receive a
+reset request during wake-up. This would lead to unplugging of all the
+plugged memory blocks. Due to this, suspending is disallowed in the
+Linux Kernel, when plugged memory is present and
+VIRTIO_MEM_F_PERSISTENT_SUSPEND feature flag is not advertised by the
+virtio-mem device.
+
+This new flag should signal to the guest driver, that the device can
+correctly suspend to a deep sleep state and then wake up without
+disrupting the plugged memory blocks. This feature flag is already
+supported in the Linux Kernel [1] and also supported in QEMU [2].

+
+
+The VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_UDP_TUNNEL_IPV\{4,6\} are two gso_type flags
+allowing respectively GSO over UDPv4 tunnel and GSO over UDPv6 tunnel.
+They can be negotiated on both the host and guest sides.
+
+One constraint addressed here is that the virtio side (either device or
+driver) receiving a UDP tunneled GSO packet must be able to reconstruct
+completely the inner and outer headers offset - to allow for later GSO.
+
+To accommodate such need, new fields are introduced in the virtio_net
+header: outer_th_offset and inner_nh_offset.
+They map directly to the corresponding header information. The inner
+transport header is implied by the (inner) checksum offload.
+
+Those fields are required because a virtio device H/W implementation
+performing segmentation for UDP tunneled packet will need to touch
+the outer transport protocol (for the UDP length filed), the
+inner network protocol (for the total length field, in the IPv4
+case).
+
+Note that segmentation will additionally need to touch
+the outer network protocol and the inner transport protocol. The first
+is implied/easily found with trivial parsing, the latter is identified
+by the existing csum_start field.
+
+Note that there is no concept of UDP tunnel type negotiation (e.g.
+vxlan, geneve, vxlan-gpe, etc.), as a virtio device H/W implementation
+can perform segmentation for every possible UDP-tunnel given the
+specified new fields.
+In the reverse direction, if a virtio device H/W implementation receives
+some traffic for an unknown or unsupported UDP tunnel, it will simply
+not aggregate the wire packet in a GSO one.

+This complements the previous change, additionally

+
+Differently from the plain checksum offload feature, this
+depends on UDP tunnel segmentation being available, as outer checksum
+computation for non GSO packets is cheap and H/W implementation of
+such a feature is complex.
+
+UDP tunnel checksum offload does not introduce additional fields,
+instead it leverages the outer transport offset introduced by the
+UDP tunnel segmentation feature to locate the outer checksum
+inside the packet.
+
+When UDP tunnel checksum offload is negotiated:
+
+- the driver requests the outer UDP checksum offload setting the
+VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_UDP_TUNNEL_CSUM bit in the flag field. Such bit
+is not allocated inside the gso_type field to prevent space
+exhaustion there.
+
+- in the device -> driver direction, the VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_DATA_VALID

+8d76f64 & 20 May 2025 & Kommula Shiva Shankar & { virtio-net: Introduce a new field to indicate outer network header offset
+
+
+This patch introduces a new field in the virtio_net_hdr called outer_nh_offset, along with a new net device feature, VIRTIO_NET_F_OUT_NET_HEADER.
+
+Currently, drivers lack a dedicated field to signal the start of the network header to the device when performing checksum offload
+and segmentation offload. This requires the device to read the packet in data path, which significantly affects performance.
+Additionally, some hardware implementations require knowledge of the outer L3 offset (aka L2 length) for inline IPsec hardware acceleration.
+
+To address this limitation, we propose to introduce a new field in the virtio_net_hdr called
+outer_nh_offset.
+
+The outer_nh_offset represents the start byte offset of the outer network header from the beginning of the packet.
+
+This issue was briefly discussed on the mailing list in a different thread, which can be found here.

+case. Alarms may be retained across device resets.
+
+Peculiarities
+
+-------------
+
+Unlike usual alarm clocks, a virtio-rtc alarm-capable clock may step

+and make the device always responsible for notifying the driver about an
+alarm expiration.
+
+The VIRTIO_RTC_REQ_SET_ALARM_ENABLED request is there so that the Linux
+ioctls RTC_AIE_ON and RTC_AIE_OFF only need to emit one request.
