A relatively large set of fixes here, the biggest piece of it is a
series correcting some problems with the delay reporting for Intel SOF
cards but there's a bunch of other things. Everything here is driver

Merge tag 'net-next-6.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

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

- Large effort by Eric to lower rtnl_lock pressure and remove locks:

- Make commonly used parts of rtnetlink (address, route dumps
etc) lockless, protected by RCU instead of rtnl_lock.

- Add a netns exit callback which already holds rtnl_lock,
allowing netns exit to take rtnl_lock once in the core instead
of once for each driver / callback.

- Remove locks / serialization in the socket diag interface.

- Remove 6 calls to synchronize_rcu() while holding rtnl_lock.

- Remove the dev_base_lock, depend on RCU where necessary.

- Support busy polling on a per-epoll context basis. Poll length and
budget parameters can be set independently of system defaults.

- Introduce struct net_hotdata, to make sure read-mostly global
config variables fit in as few cache lines as possible.

- Add optional per-nexthop statistics to ease monitoring / debug of
ECMP imbalance problems.

- Support TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT in MPTCP.

- Ensure that IPv6 temporary addresses' preferred lifetimes are long
enough, compared to other configured lifetimes, and at least 2 sec.

- Support forwarding of ICMP Error messages in IPSec, per RFC 4301.

- Add support for the independent control state machine for bonding
per IEEE 802.1AX-2008 5.4.15 in addition to the existing coupled
control state machine.

- Add "network ID" to MCTP socket APIs to support hosts with multiple
disjoint MCTP networks.

- Re-use the mono_delivery_time skbuff bit for packets which user
space wants to be sent at a specified time. Maintain the timing
information while traversing veth links, bridge etc.

- Take advantage of MSG_SPLICE_PAGES for RxRPC DATA and ACK packets.

- Simplify many places iterating over netdevs by using an xarray
instead of a hash table walk (hash table remains in place, for use
on fastpaths).

- Speed up scanning for expired routes by keeping a dedicated list.

- Speed up "generic" XDP by trying harder to avoid large allocations.

- Support attaching arbitrary metadata to netconsole messages.

Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:

- Enforce VM_IOREMAP flag and range in ioremap_page_range and
introduce VM_SPARSE kind and vm_area_[un]map_pages (used by
bpf_arena).

- Rework selftest harness to enable the use of the full range of ksft
exit code (pass, fail, skip, xfail, xpass).

Netfilter:

- Allow userspace to define a table that is exclusively owned by a
daemon (via netlink socket aliveness) without auto-removing this
table when the userspace program exits. Such table gets marked as
orphaned and a restarting management daemon can re-attach/regain
ownership.

- Speed up element insertions to nftables' concatenated-ranges set
type. Compact a few related data structures.

BPF:

- Add BPF token support for delegating a subset of BPF subsystem
functionality from privileged system-wide daemons such as systemd
through special mount options for userns-bound BPF fs to a trusted
& unprivileged application.

- Introduce bpf_arena which is sparse shared memory region between
BPF program and user space where structures inside the arena can
have pointers to other areas of the arena, and pointers work
seamlessly for both user-space programs and BPF programs.

- Introduce may_goto instruction that is a contract between the
verifier and the program. The verifier allows the program to loop
assuming it's behaving well, but reserves the right to terminate
it.

- Extend the BPF verifier to enable static subprog calls in spin lock
critical sections.

- Support registration of struct_ops types from modules which helps
projects like fuse-bpf that seeks to implement a new struct_ops
type.

- Add support for retrieval of cookies for perf/kprobe multi links.

- Support arbitrary TCP SYN cookie generation / validation in the TC
layer with BPF to allow creating SYN flood handling in BPF
firewalls.

- Add code generation to inline the bpf_kptr_xchg() helper which
improves performance when stashing/popping the allocated BPF
objects.

Wireless:

- Add SPP (signaling and payload protected) AMSDU support.

- Support wider bandwidth OFDMA, as required for EHT operation.

Driver API:

- Major overhaul of the Energy Efficient Ethernet internals to
support new link modes (2.5GE, 5GE), share more code between
drivers (especially those using phylib), and encourage more
uniform behavior. Convert and clean up drivers.

- Define an API for querying per netdev queue statistics from
drivers.

- IPSec: account in global stats for fully offloaded sessions.

- Create a concept of Ethernet PHY Packages at the Device Tree level,
to allow parameterizing the existing PHY package code.

- Enable Rx hashing (RSS) on GTP protocol fields.

Misc:

- Improvements and refactoring all over networking selftests.

- Create uniform module aliases for TC classifiers, actions, and
packet schedulers to simplify creating modprobe policies.

- Address all missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() warnings in networking.

- Extend the Netlink descriptions in YAML to cover message
encapsulation or "Netlink polymorphism", where interpretation of
nested attributes depends on link type, classifier type or some
other "class type".

Merge branch 'mlx4-aux-bus'

Merge branch 'mlx4-aux-bus'

Petr Pavlu says:

====================
Convert mlx4 to use auxiliary bus

This series converts the mlx4 drivers to use auxiliary bus, similarly to
how mlx5 was converted [1]. The first 6 patches are preparatory changes,
the remaining 4 are the final conversion.

Initial motivation for this change was to address a problem related to
loading mlx4_en/mlx4_ib by mlx4_core using request_module_nowait(). When
doing such a load in initrd, the operation is asynchronous to any init
control and can get unexpectedly affected/interrupted by an eventual
root switch. Using an auxiliary bus leaves these module loads to udevd
which better integrates with systemd processing. [2]

General benefit is to get rid of custom interface logic and instead use
a common facility available for this task. An obvious risk is that some
new bug is introduced by the conversion.

Leon Romanovsky was kind enough to check for me that the series passes
their verification tests.

Changes since v2 [3]:
* Use 'void *' as the event param of mlx4_dispatch_event().

Changes since v1 [4]:
* Fix a missing definition of the err variable in mlx4_en_add().
* Remove not needed comments about the event type in mlx4_en_event()
and mlx4_ib_event().

mlx4: Use 'void *' as the event param of mlx4_dispatch_event()

Function mlx4_dispatch_event() takes an 'unsigned long' as its event
parameter. The actual value is none (MLX4_DEV_EVENT_CATASTROPHIC_ERROR),
a pointer to mlx4_eqe (MLX4_DEV_EVENT_PORT_MGMT_CHANGE), or a 32-bit
integer (remaining events).

In preparation to switch mlx4_en and mlx4_ib to be an auxiliary device,
the mlx4_interface.event callback is replaced with a notifier and
function mlx4_dispatch_event() gets updated to invoke
atomic_notifier_call_chain(). This requires forwarding the input 'param'
value from the former function to the latter. A problem is that the
notifier call takes 'void *' as its 'param' value, compared to
'unsigned long' used by mlx4_dispatch_event(). Re-passing the value
would need either punning it to 'void *' or passing down the address of
the input 'param'. Both approaches create a number of unnecessary casts.

Change instead the input 'param' of mlx4_dispatch_event() from
'unsigned long' to 'void *'. A mlx4_eqe pointer can be passed directly,
callers using an int value are adjusted to pass its address.
