Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"One of the 'small improvements all over the place' releases for us.

It's hard to draw any direct comparisons because summer vacations
disrupted our patch processing (and presumably - generation) quite a
bit.

Quick and dirty count suggests we (Paolo and I) merged a very similar
number of net (632) and net-next (648) patches. This is not telling
the full story either because 1/3 to 1/2 of the net-next patches also
*seem* like AI-driven low priority fixes, cleanups and clarifications.

We are completely overwhelmed, of course. The glimmer of hope is that
we secured sufficient LLM budget and access (thank you Meta!) to run
reviews with multiple frontier models on each patch. This eliminates
some hallucinations. That said, in terms of review, the LLMs can only
do so much.

The sad truth is that our APIs (especially for rare events like PCIe
errors, timeouts etc) have always been racy, and now LLMs don't let us
ignore that. I expect our direction for the next release will be to
tweak the reviews a little bit more, but start shifting focus to
letting the LLMs take care of the busy work - managing patchwork,
automating common process complaints, editing commit messages, and
maybe applying patches which already got "reviewed-by" tags from
people we trust...

Core & protocols:

- A few steps lowering rtnl_lock dependence:
- per-netns netdev unregistration for select SW drivers (e.g.
veth, ipvlan, tunnels)
- rtnl_lock-less FIB rule changes (RTM_NEWRULE and RTM_DELRULE)
- prepare software drivers and TC qdiscs for rtnl_lock-less GET

- Support BIG TCP (>64kB TSO) in UDP tunnels (vxlan, geneve)

- Improve MPTCP handling of extreme memory pressure handling, when
out-of-order queue had to be pruned

- Report the per-group user count via RTM_GETMULTICAST

useful handling of LSM denials when receiving SCM_RIGHTS messages:
instead of truncating the message at the first blocked fd, keep
every fd slot and store the LSM errno in the blocked slot

- IPv6 Segment Routing - support looking up the post-encap SID

wifi: nxp: add nxpwifi driver for IW61x

Add support for the NXP IW61x wireless devices.

The nxpwifi driver implements a full-MAC design and integrates with
cfg80211 for configuration and control, supporting both station (STA)
and access point (AP) modes.

The driver provides a firmware-based command/event interface using TLV
messages, with the core handling command processing, event dispatching,
and device lifecycle management. A SDIO transport layer is implemented
to support IW61x devices.

Key features include:
- 802.11n/ac/ax (HT/VHT/HE) capability support
- Scan, association, and connection management
- Data path handling for TX/RX, including aggregation and reorder
- WMM QoS support and traffic prioritization
- 802.11h (DFS/TPC) support for regulatory compliance
- cfg80211 integration for STA and AP operations
- Debugfs and ethtool support
- Wake-on-LAN support

The driver translates cfg80211 configuration into firmware commands
and implements required data path processing in software where needed.

wifi: mm81x: add mm81x Wi-Fi HaLow driver

mm81x is the first Wi-Fi HaLow driver to support the Morse Micro mm81x
chip family via USB and SDIO.

S1G support in the kernel is only new, and as a result this driver has
been scoped to be simple and only support station and AP interface.
The Wi-Fi specific features only cover the minimum required for basic
use such as powersave, aggregation, rate control and so on. The driver
will be extended into the future as S1G support for operations such as
ACS, channel switching and so on are added into the wireless stack.

The driver has been build tested on a long list of architectures and
compilers via Intels LKP.

The driver currently supports IEEE80211-2024 US channels only, with
AU 2020 also available. In order for this to be expanded additional
non-trivial kernel work is required which will begin once the
driver is upstream.

The driver has had many authors who are listed below in
alphabetical order:

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

wifi: remove orphaned rndis_wlan driver

Wireless RNDIS USB is a new-style CFG80211 driver for 802.11b and
802.11g USB hardware from around 2004 to 2006. This makes it more modern
than any of the others, but Kalle already classified it as "legacy"
in commit 298e50ad8eb8f ("wifi: move raycs, wl3501 and rndis_wlan to
legacy directory").

Jussi Kivilinna worked on this driver between 2008 and 2012, and it has
only seen cosmetic updates after that.

wifi: remove orphaned cisco/aironet driver

Cisco Aironet is an 802.11b PCMCIA and mini-PCI with limited support
for Cardbus DMA and for CFG80211.

Both PCMCIA and WEXT are deprecated, and there is little chance
that anyone is still using this driver, so remove it.
