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)

- Ethernet high-speed NICs:

Michael Dege says:

====================
net: renesas: rswitch: R-Car S4 add HW offloading for layer 2 switching

The current R-Car S4 rswitch driver only supports port based fowarding.
This patch set adds HW offloading for L2 switching/bridgeing. The driver
hooks into switchdev.

1. Rename the base driver file to keep the driver name (rswitch.ko)

2. Add setting of default MAC ageing time in hardware.

3. Add the L2 driver extension in a separate file. The HW offloading
is automatically configured when a port is added to the bridge device.

Usage example:
ip link add name br0 type bridge
ip link set dev tsn0 master br0
ip link set dev tsn1 master br0
ip link set dev br0 up
ip link set dev tsn0 up
ip link set dev tsn1 up

Layer 2 traffic is now fowarded by HW from port TSN0 to port TSN1.

4. Provides the functionality to set the MAC table ageing time in the
Rswitch.

Usage example:
ip link change dev br0 type bridge ageing 100

net: renesas: rswitch: add offloading for L2 switching

Add hardware offloading for L2 switching on R-Car S4.

On S4 brdev is limited to one per-device (not per port). Reasoning
is that hw L2 forwarding support lacks any sort of source port based
filtering, which makes it unusable to offload more than one bridge
device. Either you allow hardware to forward destination MAC to a
port, or you have to send it to CPU. You can't make it forward only
if src and dst ports are in the same brdev.
