Merge tag 'net-next-6.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

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

Driver API:

- Continue rework / fixing of Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) across
the SW layers. Delegate the responsibilities to phylink where
possible. Improve its handling in phylib.

wifi: iwlwifi: add iwlmld sub-driver

iwlwifi is the driver of all Intel wifi devices since 2008.
Since then, the hardware has changed a lot, but the firmware
API has changed even more. The need to keep one driver that
supports all those different APIs led us to introduce a new
architecture circa 2012 which allowed us to keep the same
interface to the hardware (DMAs, Tx queues, etc...) with a
new layer to implement the mid-layer between mac80211 and
the firmware. The first component is called the 'transport'
and the latter is called 'operation_mode' a.k.a op_mode.

In 2013 we took advantage of the new architecture to
introduce iwlmvm which allowed us to implement the, then,
new firmware API. This op_mode supports 7260 and up, those
devices supports support at least VHT.

Since then, wifi evolved and so did the firmware. It became
much bigger and took a lot of functionality from the driver.
It became increasingly hard to keep the same op_mode for the
newest devices and we experienced frequent regressions on
older devices. In order to avoid those regressions and keep
the code maintainable, we decided it was about time to start
a new op_mode.

iwlmld is a new op_mode that supports BE200 or newer if the
firmware being used is 97.ucode or newer. If the user has
an older devices or BE200 with .96.ucode, iwlmvm will be
loaded. Of course, this op_mode selection is seamless.

All the features supported in iwlmvm are supported in
iwlmld besides a few seldom used use cases: injection and
Hotspot 2.0. Those are under work.

A few points about the implementation:
* iwlmld doesn't have any mutexes, it relies on the
wiphy_lock
* iwlmld is more "resource oriented": stations, links and
interfaces are allocated and freed only after all the
relevant flows are completed.
* Firmware notifications' sizes are validated in a more
structured way.

We would love to see this new op_mode merged in 6.15. The
firmware for this new driver (.97.ucode) is not yet publicly
available but it'll be sent very soon.
People eager to get an early version of this firmware can
contact Emmanuel at:
emmanuel.grumbach@intel.com

I've listed the people who directly contributed
code, but many others from various teams have
contributed in other ways.

Merge tag 'net-next-6.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Core & protocols:

- Large effort by Eric to lower rtnl_lock pressure and remove locks:

- Make commonly used parts of rtnetlink (address, route dumps
etc) lockless, protected by RCU instead of rtnl_lock.

- Add a netns exit callback which already holds rtnl_lock,
allowing netns exit to take rtnl_lock once in the core instead
of once for each driver / callback.

- Remove locks / serialization in the socket diag interface.

- Remove 6 calls to synchronize_rcu() while holding rtnl_lock.

- Remove the dev_base_lock, depend on RCU where necessary.

- Support busy polling on a per-epoll context basis. Poll length and
budget parameters can be set independently of system defaults.

- Introduce struct net_hotdata, to make sure read-mostly global
config variables fit in as few cache lines as possible.

- Add optional per-nexthop statistics to ease monitoring / debug of
ECMP imbalance problems.

- Support TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT in MPTCP.

- Ensure that IPv6 temporary addresses' preferred lifetimes are long
enough, compared to other configured lifetimes, and at least 2 sec.

- Support forwarding of ICMP Error messages in IPSec, per RFC 4301.

- Add support for the independent control state machine for bonding
per IEEE 802.1AX-2008 5.4.15 in addition to the existing coupled
control state machine.

- Add "network ID" to MCTP socket APIs to support hosts with multiple
disjoint MCTP networks.

- Re-use the mono_delivery_time skbuff bit for packets which user
space wants to be sent at a specified time. Maintain the timing
information while traversing veth links, bridge etc.

- Take advantage of MSG_SPLICE_PAGES for RxRPC DATA and ACK packets.

- Simplify many places iterating over netdevs by using an xarray
instead of a hash table walk (hash table remains in place, for use
on fastpaths).

- Speed up scanning for expired routes by keeping a dedicated list.

- Speed up "generic" XDP by trying harder to avoid large allocations.

- Support attaching arbitrary metadata to netconsole messages.

Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:

- Enforce VM_IOREMAP flag and range in ioremap_page_range and
introduce VM_SPARSE kind and vm_area_[un]map_pages (used by
bpf_arena).

- Rework selftest harness to enable the use of the full range of ksft
exit code (pass, fail, skip, xfail, xpass).

Netfilter:

- Allow userspace to define a table that is exclusively owned by a
daemon (via netlink socket aliveness) without auto-removing this
table when the userspace program exits. Such table gets marked as
orphaned and a restarting management daemon can re-attach/regain
ownership.

- Speed up element insertions to nftables' concatenated-ranges set
type. Compact a few related data structures.

BPF:

- Add BPF token support for delegating a subset of BPF subsystem
functionality from privileged system-wide daemons such as systemd
through special mount options for userns-bound BPF fs to a trusted
& unprivileged application.

- Introduce bpf_arena which is sparse shared memory region between
BPF program and user space where structures inside the arena can
have pointers to other areas of the arena, and pointers work
seamlessly for both user-space programs and BPF programs.

- Introduce may_goto instruction that is a contract between the
verifier and the program. The verifier allows the program to loop
assuming it's behaving well, but reserves the right to terminate
it.

- Extend the BPF verifier to enable static subprog calls in spin lock
critical sections.

- Support registration of struct_ops types from modules which helps
projects like fuse-bpf that seeks to implement a new struct_ops
type.

- Add support for retrieval of cookies for perf/kprobe multi links.

- Support arbitrary TCP SYN cookie generation / validation in the TC
layer with BPF to allow creating SYN flood handling in BPF
firewalls.

- Add code generation to inline the bpf_kptr_xchg() helper which
improves performance when stashing/popping the allocated BPF
objects.

Wireless:

- Add SPP (signaling and payload protected) AMSDU support.

- Support wider bandwidth OFDMA, as required for EHT operation.

Driver API:

- Major overhaul of the Energy Efficient Ethernet internals to
support new link modes (2.5GE, 5GE), share more code between
drivers (especially those using phylib), and encourage more
uniform behavior. Convert and clean up drivers.

- Define an API for querying per netdev queue statistics from
drivers.

- IPSec: account in global stats for fully offloaded sessions.

- Create a concept of Ethernet PHY Packages at the Device Tree level,
to allow parameterizing the existing PHY package code.

- Enable Rx hashing (RSS) on GTP protocol fields.

Misc:

- Improvements and refactoring all over networking selftests.

- Create uniform module aliases for TC classifiers, actions, and
packet schedulers to simplify creating modprobe policies.

- Address all missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() warnings in networking.

- Extend the Netlink descriptions in YAML to cover message
encapsulation or "Netlink polymorphism", where interpretation of
nested attributes depends on link type, classifier type or some
other "class type".
