Merge tag 'net-next-6.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Core:

- Add dedicated kmem_cache for typical/small skb->head, avoid having
to access struct page at kfree time, and improve memory use.

- Introduce sysctl to set default RPS configuration for new netdevs.

- Define Netlink protocol specification format which can be used to
describe messages used by each family and auto-generate parsers.
Add tools for generating kernel data structures and uAPI headers.

- Expose all net/core sysctls inside netns.

- Remove 4s sleep in netpoll if carrier is instantly detected on
boot.

- Add configurable limit of MDB entries per port, and port-vlan.

- Continue populating drop reasons throughout the stack.

- Retire a handful of legacy Qdiscs and classifiers.

Protocols:

- Support IPv4 big TCP (TSO frames larger than 64kB).

- Add IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE socket option, to control local port range
on socket by socket basis.

- Track and report in procfs number of MPTCP sockets used.

- Support mixing IPv4 and IPv6 flows in the in-kernel MPTCP path
manager.

- IPv6: don't check net.ipv6.route.max_size and rely on garbage
collection to free memory (similarly to IPv4).

- Support Penultimate Segment Pop (PSP) flavor in SRv6 (RFC8986).

- ICMP: add per-rate limit counters.

- Add support for user scanning requests in ieee802154.

- Remove static WEP support.

- Support minimal Wi-Fi 7 Extremely High Throughput (EHT) rate
reporting.

- WiFi 7 EHT channel puncturing support (client & AP).

BPF:

- Add a rbtree data structure following the "next-gen data structure"
precedent set by recently added linked list, that is, by using
kfunc + kptr instead of adding a new BPF map type.

- Expose XDP hints via kfuncs with initial support for RX hash and
timestamp metadata.

- Add BPF_F_NO_TUNNEL_KEY extension to bpf_skb_set_tunnel_key to
better support decap on GRE tunnel devices not operating in collect
metadata.

- Improve x86 JIT's codegen for PROBE_MEM runtime error checks.

- Remove the need for trace_printk_lock for bpf_trace_printk and
bpf_trace_vprintk helpers.

- Extend libbpf's bpf_tracing.h support for tracing arguments of
kprobes/uprobes and syscall as a special case.

- Significantly reduce the search time for module symbols by
livepatch and BPF.

- Enable cpumasks to be used as kptrs, which is useful for tracing
programs tracking which tasks end up running on which CPUs in
different time intervals.

- Add support for BPF trampoline on s390x and riscv64.

- Add capability to export the XDP features supported by the NIC.

- Add __bpf_kfunc tag for marking kernel functions as kfuncs.

- Add cgroup.memory=nobpf kernel parameter option to disable BPF
memory accounting for container environments.

Netfilter:

- Remove the CLUSTERIP target. It has been marked as obsolete for
years, and we still have WARN splats wrt races of the out-of-band
/proc interface installed by this target.

- Add 'destroy' commands to nf_tables. They are identical to the
existing 'delete' commands, but do not return an error if the
referenced object (set, chain, rule...) did not exist.

Driver API:

- Improve cpumask_local_spread() locality to help NICs set the right
IRQ affinity on AMD platforms.

- Separate C22 and C45 MDIO bus transactions more clearly.

- Introduce new DCB table to control DSCP rewrite on egress.

- Support configuration of Physical Layer Collision Avoidance (PLCA)
Reconciliation Sublayer (RS) (802.3cg-2019). Modern version of
shared medium Ethernet.

- Support for MAC Merge layer (IEEE 802.3-2018 clause 99). Allowing
preemption of low priority frames by high priority frames.

- Add support for controlling MACSec offload using netlink SET.

- Rework devlink instance refcounts to allow registration and
de-registration under the instance lock. Split the code into
multiple files, drop some of the unnecessarily granular locks and
factor out common parts of netlink operation handling.

- Add TX frame aggregation parameters (for USB drivers).

- Add a new attr TCA_EXT_WARN_MSG to report TC (offload) warning
messages with notifications for debug.

- Allow offloading of UDP NEW connections via act_ct.

- Add support for per action HW stats in TC.

- Support hardware miss to TC action (continue processing in SW from
a specific point in the action chain).

- Warn if old Wireless Extension user space interface is used with
modern cfg80211/mac80211 drivers. Do not support Wireless
Extensions for Wi-Fi 7 devices at all. Everyone should switch to
using nl80211 interface instead.

- Improve the CAN bit timing configuration. Use extack to return
error messages directly to user space, update the SJW handling,
including the definition of a new default value that will benefit
CAN-FD controllers, by increasing their oscillator tolerance.

In current implementation, there is a overhead of maintaining caldata
in the filesystem manually. To eliminate this overhead, for pci based
chipsets, if calibration data is present in EEPROM, indicate firmware
to download and read caldata from EEPROM. If the caldata is present in
EEPROM, host is notified in the target capability.
Upon this, the download request for the type ATH12K_QMI_FILE_TYPE_EEPROM
is sent to firmware.

wifi: ath12k: driver for Qualcomm Wi-Fi 7 devices

ath12k is a new mac80211 driver for Qualcomm Wi-Fi 7 devices, first
supporting QCN9274 and WCN7850 PCI devices. QCN9274 supports both AP
and station; WCN7850 supports only station mode. Monitor mode is not
(yet) supported. Only PCI bus devices are supported.

ath12k is forked from an earlier version of ath11k. It was simpler to
have a "clean start" for the new generation and not try to share the
code with ath11k. This makes maintenance easier and avoids major
changes in ath11k, which would have significantly increased the risk
of regressions in existing setups.

ath12k uses le32 and cpu_to_le32() macros to handle endian
conversions, instead of using the firmware byte swap feature utilized
by ath11k. There is only one kernel module, named ath12k.ko.

Currently ath12k only supports HE mode (IEEE 802.11ax) or older, but
work is ongoing to add EHT mode (IEEE 802.11be) support.

The size of the driver is ~41 kLOC and 45 files. To make the review
easier, this initial version of ath12k does not support Device Tree,
debugfs or any other extra features. Those will be added later, after
ath12k is accepted to upstream.

The driver is build tested by Intel's kernel test robot with both GCC
and Clang. Sparse reports no warnings. The driver is mostly free of
checkpatch warnings, albeit few of the warnings are omitted on
purpose, list of them here:
