Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski: "Core & protocols:
- Continue Netlink conversions to per-namespace RTNL lock (IPv4 routing, routing rules, routing next hops, ARP ioctls)
- Continue extending the use of netdev instance locks. As a driver opt-in protect queue operations and (in due course) ethtool operations with the instance lock and not RTNL lock.
- Support collecting TCP timestamps (data submitted, sent, acked) in BPF, allowing for transparent (to the application) and lower overhead tracking of TCP RPC performance.
- Tweak existing networking Rx zero-copy infra to support zero-copy Rx via io_uring.
- Optimize MPTCP performance in single subflow mode by 29%.
- Enable GRO on packets which went thru XDP CPU redirect (were queued for processing on a different CPU). Improving TCP stream performance up to 2x.
- Improve performance of contended connect() by 200% by searching for an available 4-tuple under RCU rather than a spin lock. Bring an additional 229% improvement by tweaking hash distribution.
- Avoid unconditionally touching sk_tsflags on RX, improving performance under UDP flood by as much as 10%.
- Avoid skb_clone() dance in ping_rcv() to improve performance under ping flood.
- Avoid FIB lookup in netfilter if socket is available, 20% perf win.
- Rework network device creation (in-kernel) API to more clearly identify network namespaces and their roles. There are up to 4 namespace roles but we used to have just 2 netns pointer arguments, interpreted differently based on context.
- Use sysfs_break_active_protection() instead of trylock to avoid deadlocks between unregistering objects and sysfs access.
- Add a new sysctl and sockopt for capping max retransmit timeout in TCP.
- Support masking port and DSCP in routing rule matches.
- Support dumping IPv4 multicast addresses with RTM_GETMULTICAST.

net: xilinx: axienet: Enable adaptive IRQ coalescing with DIM
The default RX IRQ coalescing settings of one IRQ per packet can represent a significant CPU load. However, increasing the coalescing unilaterally can result in undesirable latency under low load. Adaptive IRQ coalescing with DIM offers a way to adjust the coalescing settings based on load.
This device only supports "CQE" mode [1], where each packet resets the timer. Therefore, an interrupt is fired either when we receive coalesce_count_rx packets or when the interface is idle for coalesce_usec_rx. With this in mind, consider the following scenarios:
Link saturated Here we want to set coalesce_count_rx to a large value, in order to coalesce more packets and reduce CPU load. coalesce_usec_rx should be set to at least the time for one packet. Otherwise the link will be "idle" and we will get an interrupt for each packet anyway.
Bursts of packets Each burst should be coalesced into a single interrupt, although it may be prudent to reduce coalesce_count_rx for better latency. coalesce_usec_rx should be set to at least the time for one packet so bursts are coalesced. However, additional time beyond the packet time will just increase latency at the end of a burst.
Sporadic packets Due to low load, we can set coalesce_count_rx to 1 in order to reduce latency to the minimum. coalesce_usec_rx does not matter in this case.
Based on this analysis, I expected the CQE profiles to look something like
usec = 0, pkts = 1 // Low load usec = 16, pkts = 4 usec = 16, pkts = 16 usec = 16, pkts = 64 usec = 16, pkts = 256 // High load
Where usec is set to 16 to be a few us greater than the 12.3 us packet time of a 1500 MTU packet at 1 GBit/s. However, the CQE profile is instead
usec = 2, pkts = 256 // Low load usec = 8, pkts = 128 usec = 16, pkts = 64 usec = 32, pkts = 64 usec = 64, pkts = 64 // High load
I found this very surprising. The number of coalesced packets *decreases* as load increases. But as load increases we have more opportunities to coalesce packets without affecting latency as much. Additionally, the profile *increases* the usec as the load increases. But as load increases, the gaps between packets will tend to become smaller, making it possible to *decrease* usec for better latency at the end of a "burst".
I consider the default CQE profile unsuitable for this NIC. Therefore, we use the first profile outlined in this commit instead. coalesce_usec_rx is set to 16 by default, but the user can customize it. This may be necessary if they are using jumbo frames. I think adjusting the profile times based on the link speed/mtu would be good improvement for generic DIM.
In addition to the above profile problems, I noticed the following additional issues with DIM while testing:
- DIM tends to "wander" when at low load, since the performance gradient is pretty flat. If you only have 10p/ms anyway then adjusting the coalescing settings will not affect throughput very much. - DIM takes a long time to adjust back to low indices when load is decreased following a period of high load. This is because it only re-evaluates its settings once every 64 interrupts. However, at low load 64 interrupts can be several seconds.
Finally: performance. This patch increases receive throughput with iperf3 from 840 Mbits/sec to 938 Mbits/sec, decreases interrupts from 69920/sec to 316/sec, and decreases CPU utilization (4x Cortex-A53) from 43% to 9%.

Merge tag 'net-next-6.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next
Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni: "The most interesting thing is probably the networking structs reorganization and a significant amount of changes is around self-tests.
Core & protocols:
- Analyze and reorganize core networking structs (socks, netdev, netns, mibs) to optimize cacheline consumption and set up build time warnings to safeguard against future header changes
This improves TCP performances with many concurrent connections up to 40%
- Add page-pool netlink-based introspection, exposing the memory usage and recycling stats. This helps indentify bad PP users and possible leaks
- Refine TCP/DCCP source port selection to no longer favor even source port at connect() time when IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE is set. This lowers the time taken by connect() for hosts having many active connections to the same destination
- Refactor the TCP bind conflict code, shrinking related socket structs
- Refactor TCP SYN-Cookie handling, as a preparation step to allow arbitrary SYN-Cookie processing via eBPF
- Tune optmem_max for 0-copy usage, increasing the default value to 128KB and namespecifying it
- Allow coalescing for cloned skbs coming from page pools, improving RX performances with some common configurations
- Reduce extension header parsing overhead at GRO time
- Add bridge MDB bulk deletion support, allowing user-space to request the deletion of matching entries
- Reorder nftables struct members, to keep data accessed by the datapath first
- Introduce TC block ports tracking and use. This allows supporting multicast-like behavior at the TC layer
- Remove UAPI support for retired TC qdiscs (dsmark, CBQ and ATM) and classifiers (RSVP and tcindex)
- More data-race annotations
- Extend the diag interface to dump TCP bound-only sockets
- Conditional notification of events for TC qdisc class and actions
- Support for WPAN dynamic associations with nearby devices, to form a sub-network using a specific PAN ID
- Implement SMCv2.1 virtual ISM device support
- Add support for Batman-avd mulicast packet type
BPF:
- Tons of verifier improvements: - BPF register bounds logic and range support along with a large test suite - log improvements - complete precision tracking support for register spills - track aligned STACK_ZERO cases as imprecise spilled registers. This improves the verifier "instructions processed" metric from single digit to 50-60% for some programs - support for user's global BPF subprogram arguments with few commonly requested annotations for a better developer experience - support tracking of BPF_JNE which helps cases when the compiler transforms (unsigned) "a > 0" into "if a == 0 goto xxx" and the like - several fixes
- Add initial TX metadata implementation for AF_XDP with support in mlx5 and stmmac drivers. Two types of offloads are supported right now, that is, TX timestamp and TX checksum offload
- Fix kCFI bugs in BPF all forms of indirect calls from BPF into kernel and from kernel into BPF work with CFI enabled. This allows BPF to work with CONFIG_FINEIBT=y
- Change BPF verifier logic to validate global subprograms lazily instead of unconditionally before the main program, so they can be guarded using BPF CO-RE techniques
- Support uid/gid options when mounting bpffs
- Add a new kfunc which acquires the associated cgroup of a task within a specific cgroup v1 hierarchy where the latter is identified by its id
- Extend verifier to allow bpf_refcount_acquire() of a map value field obtained via direct load which is a use-case needed in sched_ext
- Add BPF link_info support for uprobe multi link along with bpftool integration for the latter
- Support for VLAN tag in XDP hints
- Remove deprecated bpfilter kernel leftovers given the project is developed in user-space (https://github.com/facebook/bpfilter)
Misc:
- Support for parellel TC self-tests execution
- Increase MPTCP self-tests coverage
- Updated the bridge documentation, including several so-far undocumented features
- Convert all the net self-tests to run in unique netns, to avoid random failures due to conflict and allow concurrent runs
- Add TCP-AO self-tests
- Add kunit tests for both cfg80211 and mac80211
- Autogenerate Netlink families documentation from YAML spec
- Add yml-gen support for fixed headers and recursive nests, the tool can now generate user-space code for all genetlink families for which we have specs
- A bunch of additional module descriptions fixes
- Catch incorrect freeing of pages belonging to a page pool
Driver API:
- Rust abstractions for network PHY drivers; do not cover yet the full C API, but already allow implementing functional PHY drivers in rust
- Introduce queue and NAPI support in the netdev Netlink interface, allowing complete access to the device <> NAPIs <> queues relationship
- Introduce notifications filtering for devlink to allow control application scale to thousands of instances
- Improve PHY validation, requesting rate matching information for each ethtool link mode supported by both the PHY and host
- Add support for ethtool symmetric-xor RSS hash
