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.

- Support loopback mode speed selection for interface selftests.

Device drivers:

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.
