Merge tag 'net-next-6.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

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

- Improve drop account scalability on NUMA hosts for RAW and UDP
sockets and the backlog, almost doubling the Pps capacity under DoS

- Optimize the UDP RX performance under stress, reducing contention,
revisiting the binary layout of the involved data structs and
implementing NUMA-aware locking. This improves UDP RX performance
by an additional 50%, even more under extreme conditions

- Add support for PSP encryption of TCP connections; this mechanism
has some similarities with IPsec and TLS, but offers superior HW
offloads capabilities

- Ongoing work to support Accurate ECN for TCP. AccECN allows more
than one congestion notification signal per RTT and is a building
block for Low Latency, Low Loss, and Scalable Throughput (L4S)

- Reorganize the TCP socket binary layout for data locality, reducing
the number of touched cachelines in the fastpath

- Refactor skb deferral free to better scale on large multi-NUMA
hosts, this improves TCP and UDP RX performances significantly on
such HW

- Increase the default socket memory buffer limits from 256K to 4M to
better fit modern link speeds

- Improve handling of setups with a large number of nexthop, making
dump operating scaling linearly and avoiding unneeded
synchronize_rcu() on delete

- Improve bridge handling of VLAN FDB, storing a single entry per
bridge instead of one entry per port; this makes the dump order of
magnitude faster on large switches

- Restore IP ID correctly for encapsulated packets at GSO
segmentation time, allowing GRO to merge packets in more scenarios

- Improve netfilter matching performance on large sets

- Improve MPTCP receive path performance by leveraging recently
introduced core infrastructure (skb deferral free) and adopting
recent TCP autotuning changes

- Allow bridges to redirect to a backup port when the bridge port is
administratively down

- Introduce MPTCP 'laminar' endpoint that con be used only once per
connection and simplify common MPTCP setups

- Add RCU safety to dst->dev, closing a lot of possible races

- A significant crypto library API for SCTP, MPTCP and IPv6 SR,
reducing code duplication

- Supports pulling data from an skb frag into the linear area of an
XDP buffer

Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:

- Generate netlink documentation from YAML using an integrated YAML
parser

Driver API:

- Support using IPv6 Flow Label in Rx hash computation and RSS queue
selection

- Introduce API for fetching the DMA device for a given queue,
allowing TCP zerocopy RX on more H/W setups

- Make XDP helpers compatible with unreadable memory, allowing more
easily building DevMem-enabled drivers with a unified XDP/skbs
datapath

- Add a new dedicated ethtool callback enabling drivers to provide
the number of RX rings directly, improving efficiency and clarity
in RX ring queries and RSS configuration

- Introduce a burst period for the health reporter, allowing better
handling of multiple errors due to the same root cause

- Support for DPLL phase offset exponential moving average,
controlling the average smoothing factor

Device drivers:

- Add a new Huawei driver for 3rd gen NIC (hinic3)

- Add a new SpacemiT driver for K1 ethernet MAC

- Add a generic abstraction for shared memory communication
devices (dibps)

====================
idpf: add XSk support

Alexander Lobakin says:

Add support for XSk xmit and receive using libeth_xdp.

This includes adding interfaces to reconfigure/enable/disable only
a particular set of queues and support for checksum offload XSk Tx
metadata.
libeth_xdp's implementation mostly matches the one of ice: batched
allocations and sending, unrolled descriptor writes etc. But unlike
other Intel drivers, XSk wakeup is implemented using CSD/IPI instead
of HW "software interrupt". In lots of different tests, this yielded
way better perf than SW interrupts, but also, this gives better
control over which CPU will handle the NAPI loop (SW interrupts are
a subject to irqbalance and stuff, while CSDs are strictly pinned
1:1 to the core of the same index).
Note that the header split is always disabled for XSk queues, as
for now we see no reasons to have it there.

XSk xmit perf is up to 3x comparing to ice. XSk XDP_PASS is also
faster a bunch as it uses system percpu page_pools, so that the
only overhead left is memcpy(). The rest is at least comparable.

When the NAPI poll is called, XSk Tx queues are polled first,

Add XDP support (w/o XSk for now) to the idpf driver using the libeth_xdp
sublib. All possible verdicts, .ndo_xdp_xmit(), multi-buffer etc. are here.
In general, nothing outstanding comparing to ice, except performance --
let's say, up to 2x for .ndo_xdp_xmit() on certain platforms and
scenarios.
idpf doesn't support VLAN Rx offload, so only the hash hint is
available for now.

Patches 1-7 are prereqs, without which XDP would either not work at all

idpf: add support for XDP on Rx

Use libeth XDP infra to support running XDP program on Rx polling.
This includes all of the possible verdicts/actions.
XDP Tx queues are cleaned only in "lazy" mode when there are less than
1/4 free descriptors left on the ring. libeth helper macros to define
driver-specific XDP functions make sure the compiler could uninline
them when needed.

Use __LIBETH_WORD_ACCESS to parse descriptors more efficiently when
applicable. It really gives some good boosts and code size reduction
on x86_64:

XDP only: add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 3/3 up/down: 5/-59 (-54)
with XSk: add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 5/6 up/down: 23/-124 (-101)

with the most demanding workloads like XSk xmit differing in up to 5-8%.
