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.

- Support specifying at what time packet should be sent on AF_XDP
sockets.

- Expose TCP ULP diagnostic info (for TLS and MPTCP) to non-admin
users.

- Add Netlink YAML spec for WiFi (nl80211) and conntrack.

- Introduce EXPORT_IPV6_MOD() and EXPORT_IPV6_MOD_GPL() for symbols
which only need to be exported when IPv6 support is built as a
module.

- Age FDB entries based on Rx not Tx traffic in VxLAN, similar to
normal bridging.

- Allow users to specify source port range for GENEVE tunnels.

- netconsole: allow attaching kernel release, CPU ID and task name to
messages as metadata

====================
mctp: Add MCTP-over-USB hardware transport binding

Add an implementation of the DMTF standard DSP0283, providing an MCTP
channel over high-speed USB.

This is a fairly trivial first implementation, in that we only submit
one tx and one rx URB at a time. We do accept multi-packet transfers,
but do not yet generate them on transmit.

Of course, questions and comments are most welcome, particularly on the
USB interfaces.

net: mctp: Add MCTP USB transport driver

Add an implementation for DMTF DSP0283, which defines a MCTP-over-USB
transport. As per that spec, we're restricted to full speed mode,
requiring 512-byte transfers.

Each MCTP-over-USB interface is a peer-to-peer link to a single MCTP
endpoint, so no physical addressing is required (of course, that MCTP
endpoint may then bridge to further MCTP endpoints). Consequently,
interfaces will report with no lladdr data:

# mctp link
dev lo index 1 address 00:00:00:00:00:00 net 1 mtu 65536 up
dev mctpusb0 index 6 address none net 1 mtu 68 up

This is a simple initial implementation, with single rx & tx urbs, and
no multi-packet tx transfers - although we do accept multi-packet rx
from the device.

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 'i3c-mctp-net-driver'

Matt Johnston says:

====================
I3C MCTP net driver

This series adds an I3C transport for the kernel's MCTP network
protocol. MCTP is a communication protocol between system components
(BMCs, drives, NICs etc), with higher level protocols such as NVMe-MI or
PLDM built on top of it (in userspace). It runs over various transports
such as I2C, PCIe, or I3C.

The mctp-i3c driver follows a similar approach to the kernel's existing
mctp-i2c driver, creating a "mctpi3cX" network interface for each
numbered I3C bus. Busses opt in to support by adding a "mctp-controller"
property to the devicetree:

&i3c0 {
mctp-controller;
}

The driver will bind to MCTP class devices (DCR 0xCC) that are on a
supported I3C bus. Each bus is represented by a `struct mctp_i3c_bus`
that keeps state for the network device. An individual I3C device
(struct mctp_i3c_device) performs operations using the "parent"
mctp_i3c_bus object. The I3C notify/enumeration patch is needed so that
the mctp-i3c driver can handle creating/removing mctp_i3c_bus objects as
required.

The mctp-i3c driver is using the Provisioned ID as an identifier for
target I3C devices (the neighbour address), as that will be more stable
than the I3C dynamic address. The driver internally translates that to a
dynamic address for bus operations.

The driver has been tested using an AST2600 platform. A remote endpoint
has been tested against QEMU, as well as using the target mode support
in Aspeed's vendor tree.

I3C maintainers have acked merging this through net-next tree.
