Merge tag 'net-next-6.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

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

- Support usec resolution of TCP timestamps, enabled selectively by a
route attribute.

- Defer regular TCP ACK while processing socket backlog, try to send
a cumulative ACK at the end. Increase single TCP flow performance
on a 200Gbit NIC by 20% (100Gbit -> 120Gbit).

- The Fair Queuing (FQ) packet scheduler:
- add built-in 3 band prio / WRR scheduling
- support bypass if the qdisc is mostly idle (5% speed up for TCP RR)
- improve inactive flow reporting
- optimize the layout of structures for better cache locality

- Support TCP Authentication Option (RFC 5925, TCP-AO), a more modern
replacement for the old MD5 option.

- Add more retransmission timeout (RTO) related statistics to
TCP_INFO.

- Support sending fragmented skbs over vsock sockets.

- Make sure we send SIGPIPE for vsock sockets if socket was
shutdown().

- Add sysctl for ignoring lower limit on lifetime in Router
Advertisement PIO, based on an in-progress IETF draft.

- Add sysctl to control activation of TCP ping-pong mode.

- Add sysctl to make connection timeout in MPTCP configurable.

- Support rcvlowat and notsent_lowat on MPTCP sockets, to help apps
limit the number of wakeups.

- Support netlink GET for MDB (multicast forwarding), allowing user
space to request a single MDB entry instead of dumping the entire
table.

- Support selective FDB flushing in the VXLAN tunnel driver.

- Allow limiting learned FDB entries in bridges, prevent OOM attacks.

- Allow controlling via configfs netconsole targets which were
created via the kernel cmdline at boot, rather than via configfs at
runtime.

- Support multiple PTP timestamp event queue readers with different
filters.

- MCTP over I3C.

BPF:

- Add new veth-like netdevice where BPF program defines the logic of
the xmit routine. It can operate in L3 and L2 mode.

- Support exceptions - allow asserting conditions which should never
be true but are hard for the verifier to infer. With some extra
flexibility around handling of the exit / failure:

https://lwn.net/Articles/938435/

- Add support for local per-cpu kptr, allow allocating and storing
per-cpu objects in maps. Access to those objects operates on the
value for the current CPU.

This allows to deprecate local one-off implementations of per-CPU
storage like BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_CGROUP_STORAGE maps.

- Extend cgroup BPF sockaddr hooks for UNIX sockets. The use case is
for systemd to re-implement the LogNamespace feature which allows
running multiple instances of systemd-journald to process the logs
of different services.

- Enable open-coded task_vma iteration, after maple tree conversion
made it hard to directly walk VMAs in tracing programs.

- Add open-coded task, css_task and css iterator support. One of the
use cases is customizable OOM victim selection via BPF.

- Allow source address selection with bpf_*_fib_lookup().

- Add ability to pin BPF timer to the current CPU.

- Prevent creation of infinite loops by combining tail calls and
fentry/fexit programs.

- Add missed stats for kprobes to retrieve the number of missed
kprobe executions and subsequent executions of BPF programs.

- Inherit system settings for CPU security mitigations.

- Add BPF v4 CPU instruction support for arm32 and s390x.

Changes to common code:

- overflow: add DEFINE_FLEX() for on-stack definition of structs with
flexible array members.

- Process doc update with more guidance for reviewers.

Driver API:

- Simplify locking in WiFi (cfg80211 and mac80211 layers), use wiphy
mutex in most places and remove a lot of smaller locks.

- Create a common DPLL configuration API. Allow configuring and
querying state of PLL circuits used for clock syntonization, in
network time distribution.

- Unify fragmented and full page allocation APIs in page pool code.
Let drivers be ignorant of PAGE_SIZE.

- Rework PHY state machine to avoid races with calls to phy_stop().

- Notify DSA drivers of MAC address changes on user ports, improve
correctness of offloads which depend on matching port MAC
addresses.

- Allow antenna control on injected WiFi frames.

- Reduce the number of variants of napi_schedule().

- Simplify error handling when composing devlink health messages.

Misc:

- A lot of KCSAN data race "fixes", from Eric.

- A lot of __counted_by() annotations, from Kees.

- A lot of strncpy -> strscpy and printf format fixes.

- Replace master/slave terminology with conduit/user in DSA drivers.

- Handful of KUnit tests for netdev and WiFi core.

Merge branch 'net-platform-remove-void'

Uwe Kleine-König says:

====================
net: ethernet: Convert to platform remove callback returning void

this series convert nearly all platform drivers below
drivers/net/ethernet to use remove_new. The motivation is to get rid of
an integer return code that is (mostly) ignored by the platform driver
core and error prone on the driver side.

There are 3 drivers I didn't convert (yet):

drivers/net/ethernet/ti/cpsw.c
drivers/net/ethernet/ti/cpsw_new.c
drivers/net/ethernet/ti/am65-cpsw-nuss.c

These are a bit more complicated because they don't always return 0 in
.remove(). Unless someone is quicker than me, I'll address them in
separate patches at a later time.

See commit 5c5a7680e67b ("platform: Provide a remove callback that
returns no value") for an extended explanation and the eventual goal.

There are no interdependencies between the patches. As there are still
quite a few drivers to convert, I'm happy about every patch that makes
it in. So even if there is a merge conflict with one patch until you
apply, please apply the remainder of this series anyhow.

net: ethernet: natsemi: Convert to platform remove callback returning void

The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes
many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by
returning an error code. However the value returned is ignored (apart
from emitting a warning) and this typically results in resource leaks.
To improve here there is a quest to make the remove callback return
void. In the first step of this quest all drivers are converted to
.remove_new() which already returns void. Eventually after all drivers
are converted, .remove_new() is renamed to .remove().

Trivially convert these drivers from always returning zero in the remove
callback to the void returning variant.

Merge tag '5.17-net-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Core
----

- Defer freeing TCP skbs to the BH handler, whenever possible, or at
least perform the freeing outside of the socket lock section to
decrease cross-CPU allocator work and improve latency.

- Add netdevice refcount tracking to locate sources of netdevice and
net namespace refcount leaks.

- Make Tx watchdog less intrusive - avoid pausing Tx and restarting
all queues from a single CPU removing latency spikes.

- Various small optimizations throughout the stack from Eric Dumazet.

- Make netdev->dev_addr[] constant, force modifications to go via
appropriate helpers to allow us to keep addresses in ordered data
structures.

- Replace unix_table_lock with per-hash locks, improving performance
of bind() calls.

- Extend skb drop tracepoint with a drop reason.

- Allow SO_MARK and SO_PRIORITY setsockopt under CAP_NET_RAW.

BPF
---

- New helpers:
- bpf_find_vma(), find and inspect VMAs for profiling use cases
- bpf_loop(), runtime-bounded loop helper trading some execution
time for much faster (if at all converging) verification
- bpf_strncmp(), improve performance, avoid compiler flakiness
- bpf_get_func_arg(), bpf_get_func_ret(), bpf_get_func_arg_cnt()
for tracing programs, all inlined by the verifier

- Support BPF relocations (CO-RE) in the kernel loader.

- Further the support for BTF_TYPE_TAG annotations.

- Allow access to local storage in sleepable helpers.

- Convert verifier argument types to a composable form with different
attributes which can be shared across types (ro, maybe-null).

- Prepare libbpf for upcoming v1.0 release by cleaning up APIs,
creating new, extensible ones where missing and deprecating those
to be removed.

Protocols
---------

- WiFi (mac80211/cfg80211):
- notify user space about long "come back in N" AP responses,
allow it to react to such temporary rejections
- allow non-standard VHT MCS 10/11 rates
- use coarse time in airtime fairness code to save CPU cycles

- Bluetooth:
- rework of HCI command execution serialization to use a common
queue and work struct, and improve handling errors reported in
the middle of a batch of commands
- rework HCI event handling to use skb_pull_data, avoiding packet
parsing pitfalls
- support AOSP Bluetooth Quality Report

- SMC:
- support net namespaces, following the RDMA model
- improve connection establishment latency by pre-clearing buffers
- introduce TCP ULP for automatic redirection to SMC

- Multi-Path TCP:
- support ioctls: SIOCINQ, OUTQ, and OUTQNSD
- support socket options: IP_TOS, IP_FREEBIND, IP_TRANSPARENT,
IPV6_FREEBIND, and IPV6_TRANSPARENT, TCP_CORK and TCP_NODELAY
- support cmsgs: TCP_INQ
- improvements in the data scheduler (assigning data to subflows)
- support fastclose option (quick shutdown of the full MPTCP
connection, similar to TCP RST in regular TCP)

- MCTP (Management Component Transport) over serial, as defined by
DMTF spec DSP0253 - "MCTP Serial Transport Binding".

Driver API
----------

- Support timestamping on bond interfaces in active/passive mode.

- Introduce generic phylink link mode validation for drivers which
don't have any quirks and where MAC capability bits fully express
what's supported. Allow PCS layer to participate in the validation.
Convert a number of drivers.

- Add support to set/get size of buffers on the Rx rings and size of
the tx copybreak buffer via ethtool.

- Support offloading TC actions as first-class citizens rather than
only as attributes of filters, improve sharing and device resource
utilization.

- WiFi (mac80211/cfg80211):
- support forwarding offload (ndo_fill_forward_path)
- support for background radar detection hardware
- SA Query Procedures offload on the AP side

New hardware / drivers
----------------------

- tsnep - FPGA based TSN endpoint Ethernet MAC used in PLCs with
real-time requirements for isochronous communication with protocols
like OPC UA Pub/Sub.

- Qualcomm BAM-DMUX WWAN - driver for data channels of modems
integrated into many older Qualcomm SoCs, e.g. MSM8916 or MSM8974
(qcom_bam_dmux).

- Microchip LAN966x multi-port Gigabit AVB/TSN Ethernet Switch driver

Merge branch 'reset/of-get-optional-exclusive' of git://git.pengutronix.de/pza/linux into timers/drivers/next

"Add optional variant of of_reset_control_get_exclusive(). If the
requested reset is not specified in the device tree, this function
returns NULL instead of an error."

This dependency is needed for the Generic Timer Module (a.k.a OSTM)
support for RZ/G2L.
