Merge tag '5.17-net-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Core
----

- Defer freeing TCP skbs to the BH handler, whenever possible, or at
least perform the freeing outside of the socket lock section to
decrease cross-CPU allocator work and improve latency.

- Add netdevice refcount tracking to locate sources of netdevice and
net namespace refcount leaks.

- Make Tx watchdog less intrusive - avoid pausing Tx and restarting
all queues from a single CPU removing latency spikes.

- Various small optimizations throughout the stack from Eric Dumazet.

- Make netdev->dev_addr[] constant, force modifications to go via
appropriate helpers to allow us to keep addresses in ordered data
structures.

- Replace unix_table_lock with per-hash locks, improving performance
of bind() calls.

- Extend skb drop tracepoint with a drop reason.

- Allow SO_MARK and SO_PRIORITY setsockopt under CAP_NET_RAW.

BPF
---

- New helpers:
- bpf_find_vma(), find and inspect VMAs for profiling use cases
- bpf_loop(), runtime-bounded loop helper trading some execution
time for much faster (if at all converging) verification
- bpf_strncmp(), improve performance, avoid compiler flakiness
- bpf_get_func_arg(), bpf_get_func_ret(), bpf_get_func_arg_cnt()
for tracing programs, all inlined by the verifier

- Support BPF relocations (CO-RE) in the kernel loader.

- Further the support for BTF_TYPE_TAG annotations.

- Allow access to local storage in sleepable helpers.

- Convert verifier argument types to a composable form with different
attributes which can be shared across types (ro, maybe-null).

- Prepare libbpf for upcoming v1.0 release by cleaning up APIs,
creating new, extensible ones where missing and deprecating those
to be removed.

Protocols
---------

- WiFi (mac80211/cfg80211):
- notify user space about long "come back in N" AP responses,
allow it to react to such temporary rejections
- allow non-standard VHT MCS 10/11 rates
- use coarse time in airtime fairness code to save CPU cycles

- Bluetooth:
- rework of HCI command execution serialization to use a common
queue and work struct, and improve handling errors reported in
the middle of a batch of commands
- rework HCI event handling to use skb_pull_data, avoiding packet
parsing pitfalls
- support AOSP Bluetooth Quality Report

- SMC:
- support net namespaces, following the RDMA model
- improve connection establishment latency by pre-clearing buffers
- introduce TCP ULP for automatic redirection to SMC

- Multi-Path TCP:
- support ioctls: SIOCINQ, OUTQ, and OUTQNSD
- support socket options: IP_TOS, IP_FREEBIND, IP_TRANSPARENT,
IPV6_FREEBIND, and IPV6_TRANSPARENT, TCP_CORK and TCP_NODELAY
- support cmsgs: TCP_INQ
- improvements in the data scheduler (assigning data to subflows)
- support fastclose option (quick shutdown of the full MPTCP
connection, similar to TCP RST in regular TCP)

- MCTP (Management Component Transport) over serial, as defined by
DMTF spec DSP0253 - "MCTP Serial Transport Binding".

Driver API
----------

- Support timestamping on bond interfaces in active/passive mode.

- Introduce generic phylink link mode validation for drivers which
don't have any quirks and where MAC capability bits fully express
what's supported. Allow PCS layer to participate in the validation.
Convert a number of drivers.

- Add support to set/get size of buffers on the Rx rings and size of
the tx copybreak buffer via ethtool.

- Support offloading TC actions as first-class citizens rather than
only as attributes of filters, improve sharing and device resource
utilization.

- WiFi (mac80211/cfg80211):
- support forwarding offload (ndo_fill_forward_path)

ath11k: add spectral/CFR buffer validation support

Currently there is no validation on the spectral/CFR report
over the db ring buffers from the hardware. Improper/incomplete
DMA by the target can result in invalid data received by host.
Due to this we may populate incorrect data to user space.

This buffer validation support fix this issues by filling some
magic value in the buffer during buffer replenish and check for
the magic value in the buffer received by the target. If host
detect magic value in the received buffer it will drop the buffer.

ath11k: use cache line aligned buffers for dbring

The DMA buffers of dbring which is used for spectral/cfr
starts at certain offset from original kmalloc() returned buffer.
This is not cache line aligned.
And also driver tries to access the data that is immediately before
this offset address (i.e. buff->paddr) after doing dma map.
This will cause cache line sharing issues and data corruption,
if CPU happen to write back cache after HW has dma'ed the data.

Fix this by mapping a cache line aligned buffer to dma.

wireless-drivers-next patches for v5.9

First set of patches for v5.9. This comes later than usual as I was
offline for two weeks. The biggest change here is moving Microchip
wilc1000 driver from staging. There was an immutable topic branch with
one commit moving the whole driver and the topic branch was pulled
both to staging-next and wireless-drivers-next. At the moment the only
reported conflict is in MAINTAINERS file, so I'm hoping the move
should go smoothly.

Other notable changes are ath11k getting 6 GHz band support and rtw88
supporting RTL8821CE. And there's also the usual fixes, API changes
and cleanups all over.

Major changes:

wilc1000

* move from drivers/staging to drivers/net/wireless/microchip

ath11k

* add 6G band support

* add spectral scan support

iwlwifi

* make FW reconfiguration quieter by not using warn level

ath11k: Add direct buffer ring support

Add direct buffer ring (dbring) with helper API, which is used by the
spectral scan. Initialise the direct buffer ring based on the dma ring
capability, which get announced in the wmi service ready extended event.
This ring is slightly changed from data path rings. Compare to data path
ring this ring shares the hp and tp address to firmware though WMI commands.
