Merge tag 'net-next-6.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Not much excitement - a handful of large patchsets (devmem among them)
did not make it in time.

Core & protocols:

- Use local_lock in addition to local_bh_disable() to protect per-CPU
resources in networking, a step closer for local_bh_disable() not
to act as a big lock on PREEMPT_RT

- Use flex array for netdevice priv area, ensure its cache alignment

- Add a sysctl knob to allow user to specify a default rto_min at
socket init time. Bit of a big hammer but multiple companies were
independently carrying such patch downstream so clearly it's useful

- Support scheduling transmission of packets based on CLOCK_TAI

- Un-pin TCP TIMEWAIT timer to avoid it firing on CPUs later cordoned
off using cpusets

- Support multiple L2TPv3 UDP tunnels using the same 5-tuple address

- Allow configuration of multipath hash seed, to both allow
synchronizing hashing of two routers, and preventing partial
accidental sync

- Improve TCP compliance with RFC 9293 for simultaneous connect()

- Support sending NAT keepalives in IPsec ESP in UDP states.
Userspace IKE daemon had to do this before, but the kernel can
better keep track of it

- Support sending supervision HSR frames with MAC addresses stored in
ProxyNodeTable when RedBox (i.e. HSR-SAN) is enabled

- Introduce IPPROTO_SMC for selecting SMC when socket is created

- Allow UDP GSO transmit from devices with no checksum offload

- openvswitch: add packet sampling via psample, separating the
sampled traffic from "upcall" packets sent to user space for
forwarding

- nf_tables: shrink memory consumption for transaction objects

Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:

- Power Sequencing subsystem (used by Qualcomm Bluetooth driver for
QCA6390) [ Already merged separately - Linus ]

- Add IRQ information in sysfs for auxiliary bus

- Introduce guard definition for local_lock

- Add aligned flavor of __cacheline_group_{begin, end}() markings for
grouping fields in structures

BPF:

- Notify user space (via epoll) when a struct_ops object is getting
detached/unregistered

- Add new kfuncs for a generic, open-coded bits iterator

- Enable BPF programs to declare arrays of kptr, bpf_rb_root, and
bpf_list_head

- Support resilient split BTF which cuts down on duplication and
makes BTF as compact as possible WRT BTF from modules

- Add support for dumping kfunc prototypes from BTF which enables
both detecting as well as dumping compilable prototypes for kfuncs

- riscv64 BPF JIT improvements in particular to add 12-argument
support for BPF trampolines and to utilize bpf_prog_pack for the
latter

- Add the capability to offload the netfilter flowtable in XDP layer
through kfuncs

Driver API:

- Allow users to configure IRQ tresholds between which automatic IRQ
moderation can choose

- Expand Power Sourcing (PoE) status with power, class and failure
reason. Support setting power limits

- Track additional RSS contexts in the core, make sure configuration
changes don't break them

- Support IPsec crypto offload for IPv6 ESP and IPv4 UDP-encapsulated
ESP data paths

- Support updating firmware on SFP modules

Tests and tooling:

- mptcp: use net/lib.sh to manage netns

- TCP-AO and TCP-MD5: replace debug prints used by tests with
tracepoints

- openvswitch: make test self-contained (don't depend on OvS CLI
tools)

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

- ACPI based Wifi band RFI (WBRF) mitigation feature for the AMD
platform

- Expose pin fractional frequency offset value over new DPLL generic
netlink attribute

- Convert older drivers to platform remove callback returning void

- Add support for PHY package MMD read/write

net: phy: aquantia: add firmware load support

Aquantia PHY-s require firmware to be loaded before they start operating.
It can be automatically loaded in case when there is a SPI-NOR connected
to Aquantia PHY-s or can be loaded from the host via MDIO.

This patch adds support for loading the firmware via MDIO as in most cases
there is no SPI-NOR being used to save on cost.
Firmware loading code itself is ported from mainline U-boot with cleanups.

The firmware has mixed values both in big and little endian.
PHY core itself is big-endian but it expects values to be in little-endian.
The firmware is little-endian but CRC-16 value for it is stored at the end
of firmware in big-endian.

It seems the PHY does the conversion internally from firmware that is
little-endian to the PHY that is big-endian on using the mailbox
but mailbox returns a big-endian CRC-16 to verify the written data
integrity.
