Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Core & protocols:

- Support HW queue leasing, allowing containers to be granted access
to HW queues for zero-copy operations and AF_XDP

- Number of code moves to help the compiler with inlining. Avoid
output arguments for returning drop reason where possible

- Rework drop handling within qdiscs to include more metadata about
the reason and dropping qdisc in the tracepoints

- Remove the rtnl_lock use from IP Multicast Routing

- Pack size information into the Rx Flow Steering table pointer
itself. This allows making the table itself a flat array of u32s,
thus making the table allocation size a power of two

- Report TCP delayed ack timer information via socket diag

- Add ip_local_port_step_width sysctl to allow distributing the
randomly selected ports more evenly throughout the allowed space

- Add support for per-route tunsrc in IPv6 segment routing

- Start work of switching sockopt handling to iov_iter

- Improve dynamic recvbuf sizing in MPTCP, limit burstiness and avoid
buffer size drifting up

- Support MSG_EOR in MPTCP

- Add stp_mode attribute to the bridge driver for STP mode selection.
This addresses concerns about call_usermodehelper() usage

- Remove UDP-Lite support (as announced in 2023)

- Remove support for building IPv6 as a module. Remove the now
unnecessary function calling indirection

Cross-tree stuff:

- Move Michael MIC code from generic crypto into wireless, it's
considered insecure but some WiFi networks still need it

Netfilter:

- Switch nft_fib_ipv6 module to no longer need temporary dst_entry
object allocations by using fib6_lookup() + RCU.

Florian W reports this gets us ~13% higher packet rate

- Convert IPVS's global __ip_vs_mutex to per-net service_mutex and
switch the service tables to be per-net. Convert some code that
walks the service lists to use RCU instead of the service_mutex

- Add more opinionated input validation to lower security exposure

- Make IPVS hash tables to be per-netns and resizable

Wireless:

- Finished assoc frame encryption/EPPKE/802.1X-over-auth

- Radar detection improvements

- Add 6 GHz incumbent signal detection APIs

- Multi-link support for FILS, probe response templates and client
probing

- New APIs and mac80211 support for NAN (Neighbor Aware Networking,
aka Wi-Fi Aware) so less work must be in firmware

Driver API:

- Add numerical ID for devlink instances (to avoid having to create
fake bus/device pairs just to have an ID). Support shared devlink
instances which span multiple PFs

- Add standard counters for reporting pause storm events (implement
in mlx5 and fbnic)

====================
net: dsa: mxl862xx: MDIO bus integrity and optimization

The MxL862xx firmware offers opt-in CRC validation on the MDIO/MMD
command interface to guard against bit errors on the bus.
The driver has not used this until now.

This series enables CRC protection on both the command registers (CRC-6)
and data payloads (CRC-16), and reduces MDIO bus traffic by bulk-zeroing
registers instead of writing zero-valued words individually.

net: dsa: mxl862xx: add CRC for MDIO communication

Enable the firmware's opt-in CRC validation on the MDIO/MMD command
interface to detect bit errors on the bus. The firmware bundles CRC-6
and CRC-16 under a single enable flag, so both are implemented
together.

CRC-6 protects the ctrl and len_ret command registers using a table-
driven 3GPP algorithm. It is applied to every command exchange
including SET_DATA/GET_DATA batch transfers. With CRC enabled, the
firmware encodes its return value as a signed 11-bit integer within
the CRC- protected register fields, replacing the previous 16-bit
interpretation.

CRC-16 protects the data payload using the kernel's crc16() library.
The driver appends a CRC-16 checksum to outgoing data and verifies the
firmware-appended checksum on responses. The checksum is placed at the
exact byte offset where the struct data ends, correctly handling
packed structs with odd sizes by splitting the checksum across word
boundaries. SET_DATA/GET_DATA sub-commands carry only CRC-6.

Upon detection of a CRC error on either side all conduit interfaces
are taken down, triggering all user ports to go down as well. This is
the most feasible option: CRC errors are likely caused either by
broken hardware, or are symptom of overheating. In either case, trying
to resume normal operation isn't reasonable.

Merge tag 'net-next-7.0' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"Core & protocols:

- A significant effort all around the stack to guide the compiler to
make the right choice when inlining code, to avoid unneeded calls
for small helper and stack canary overhead in the fast-path.

This generates better and faster code with very small or no text
size increases, as in many cases the call generated more code than
the actual inlined helper.

- Extend AccECN implementation so that is now functionally complete,
also allow the user-space enabling it on a per network namespace
basis.

- Add support for memory providers with large (above 4K) rx buffer.
Paired with hw-gro, larger rx buffer sizes reduce the number of
buffers traversing the stack, dincreasing single stream CPU usage
by up to ~30%.

- Do not add HBH header to Big TCP GSO packets. This simplifies the
RX path, the TX path and the NIC drivers, and is possible because
user-space taps can now interpret correctly such packets without
the HBH hint.

- Allow IPv6 routes to be configured with a gateway address that is
resolved out of a different interface than the one specified,
aligning IPv6 to IPv4 behavior.

- Multi-queue aware sch_cake. This makes it possible to scale the
rate shaper of sch_cake across multiple CPUs, while still enforcing
a single global rate on the interface.

- Add support for the nbcon (new buffer console) infrastructure to
netconsole, enabling lock-free, priority-based console operations
that are safer in crash scenarios.

- Improve the TCP ipv6 output path to cache the flow information,
saving cpu cycles, reducing cache line misses and stack use.

- Improve netfilter packet tracker to resolve clashes for most
protocols, avoiding unneeded drops on rare occasions.

- Add IP6IP6 tunneling acceleration to the flowtable infrastructure.

- Reduce tcp socket size by one cache line.

- Notify neighbour changes atomically, avoiding inconsistencies
between the notification sequence and the actual states sequence.

- Add vsock namespace support, allowing complete isolation of vsocks
across different network namespaces.

- Improve xsk generic performances with cache-alignment-oriented
optimizations.

- Support netconsole automatic target recovery, allowing netconsole
to reestablish targets when underlying low-level interface comes
back online.

Driver API:

- Support for switching the working mode (automatic vs manual) of a
DPLL device via netlink.

- Introduce PHY ports representation to expose multiple front-facing
media ports over a single MAC.

- Introduce "rx-polarity" and "tx-polarity" device tree properties,
to generalize polarity inversion requirements for differential
signaling.

- Add helper to create, prepare and enable managed clocks.

Device drivers:

- Add Huawei hinic3 PF etherner driver.

- Add DWMAC glue driver for Motorcomm YT6801 PCIe ethernet
controller.

- Add ethernet driver for MaxLinear MxL862xx switches

- Remove parallel-port Ethernet driver.

- Convert existing driver timestamp configuration reporting to
hwtstamp_get and remove legacy ioctl().

- Convert existing drivers to .get_rx_ring_count(), simplifing the RX
ring count retrieval. Also remove the legacy fallback path.

Daniel Golle says:

====================
net: dsa: initial support for MaxLinear MxL862xx switches

This series adds very basic DSA support for the MaxLinear MxL86252
(5x 2500Base-T PHYs) and MxL86282 (8x 2500Base-T PHYs) switches.
In addition to the 2.5G TP ports both switches also come with two
SerDes interfaces which can be used either to connect external PHYs
or SFP cages, or as CPU port when using the switch with this DSA driver.

MxL862xx integrates a firmware running on an embedded processor (based on
Zephyr RTOS). Host interaction uses a simple netlink-like API transported
over MDIO/MMD.

This series includes only what's needed to pass traffic between user
ports and the CPU port: relayed MDIO to internal PHYs, basic port
enable/disable, and CPU-port special tagging.

The SerDes interface of the CPU port is automatically configured by the
switch after reset using a board-specific configuration stored together
with the firmware in the flash chip attached to the switch, so no action
is needed from the driver to setup the interface mode of the CPU port.

Also MAC settings of the PHY ports are automatically configured, which
means the driver works fine with phylink_mac_ops being all no-op stubs.

Multiple follow up series will bring support for setting up the other
SerDes PCS interface (ie. not used for the CPU port), bridge, VLAN, ...
offloading, and support for using an 802.1Q-based special tag instead of
the proprietary 8-byte tag.

net: dsa: add basic initial driver for MxL862xx switches

Add very basic DSA driver for MaxLinear's MxL862xx switches.

In contrast to previous MaxLinear switches the MxL862xx has a built-in
processor that runs a sophisticated firmware based on Zephyr RTOS.
Interaction between the host and the switch hence is organized using a
software API of that firmware rather than accessing hardware registers
directly.

Add descriptions of the most basic firmware API calls to access the
built-in MDIO bus hosting the 2.5GE PHYs, basic port control as well as
setting up the CPU port.

Implement a very basic DSA driver using that API which is sufficient to
get packets flowing between the user ports and the CPU port.

The firmware offers all features one would expect from a modern switch
hardware, they are going to be added one by one in follow-up patch
