Merge tag 'net-next-5.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"The sprinkling of SPI drivers is because we added a new one and Mark
sent us a SPI driver interface conversion pull request.

Core
----

- Introduce XDP multi-buffer support, allowing the use of XDP with
jumbo frame MTUs and combination with Rx coalescing offloads (LRO).

- Speed up netns dismantling (5x) and lower the memory cost a little.
Remove unnecessary per-netns sockets. Scope some lists to a netns.
Cut down RCU syncing. Use batch methods. Allow netdev registration
to complete out of order.

- Support distinguishing timestamp types (ingress vs egress) and
maintaining them across packet scrubbing points (e.g. redirect).

- Continue the work of annotating packet drop reasons throughout the
stack.

- Switch netdev error counters from an atomic to dynamically
allocated per-CPU counters.

- Rework a few preempt_disable(), local_irq_save() and busy waiting
sections problematic on PREEMPT_RT.

- Extend the ref_tracker to allow catching use-after-free bugs.

BPF
---

- Introduce "packing allocator" for BPF JIT images. JITed code is
marked read only, and used to be allocated at page granularity.
Custom allocator allows for more efficient memory use, lower iTLB
pressure and prevents identity mapping huge pages from getting
split.

- Make use of BTF type annotations (e.g. __user, __percpu) to enforce
the correct probe read access method, add appropriate helpers.

- Convert the BPF preload to use light skeleton and drop the
user-mode-driver dependency.

- Allow XDP BPF_PROG_RUN test infra to send real packets, enabling
its use as a packet generator.

- Allow local storage memory to be allocated with GFP_KERNEL if
called from a hook allowed to sleep.

- Introduce fprobe (multi kprobe) to speed up mass attachment (arch
bits to come later).

- Add unstable conntrack lookup helpers for BPF by using the BPF
kfunc infra.

- Allow cgroup BPF progs to return custom errors to user space.

- Add support for AF_UNIX iterator batching.

- Allow iterator programs to use sleepable helpers.

- Support JIT of add, and, or, xor and xchg atomic ops on arm64.

- Add BTFGen support to bpftool which allows to use CO-RE in kernels
without BTF info.

- Large number of libbpf API improvements, cleanups and deprecations.

Protocols
---------

- Micro-optimize UDPv6 Tx, gaining up to 5% in test on dummy netdev.

- Adjust TSO packet sizes based on min_rtt, allowing very low latency
links (data centers) to always send full-sized TSO super-frames.

- Make IPv6 flow label changes (AKA hash rethink) more configurable,
via sysctl and setsockopt. Distinguish between server and client
behavior.

- VxLAN support to "collect metadata" devices to terminate only
configured VNIs. This is similar to VLAN filtering in the bridge.

- Support inserting IPv6 IOAM information to a fraction of frames.

- Add protocol attribute to IP addresses to allow identifying where
given address comes from (kernel-generated, DHCP etc.)

- Support setting socket and IPv6 options via cmsg on ping6 sockets.

- Reject mis-use of ECN bits in IP headers as part of DSCP/TOS.
Define dscp_t and stop taking ECN bits into account in fib-rules.

- Add support for locked bridge ports (for 802.1X).

- tun: support NAPI for packets received from batched XDP buffs,
doubling the performance in some scenarios.

- IPv6 extension header handling in Open vSwitch.

- Support IPv6 control message load balancing in bonding, prevent
neighbor solicitation and advertisement from using the wrong port.
Support NS/NA monitor selection similar to existing ARP monitor.

- SMC
- improve performance with TCP_CORK and sendfile()
- support auto-corking
- support TCP_NODELAY

- MCTP (Management Component Transport Protocol)
- add user space tag control interface
- I2C binding driver (as specified by DMTF DSP0237)

- Multi-BSSID beacon handling in AP mode for WiFi.

- Bluetooth:
- handle MSFT Monitor Device Event
- add MGMT Adv Monitor Device Found/Lost events

- Multi-Path TCP:
- add support for the SO_SNDTIMEO socket option
- lots of selftest cleanups and improvements

- Increase the max PDU size in CAN ISOTP to 64 kB.

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

- Add HW counters for SW netdevs, a mechanism for devices which
offload packet forwarding to report packet statistics back to
software interfaces such as tunnels.

- Select the default NIC queue count as a fraction of number of
physical CPU cores, instead of hard-coding to 8.

- Expose devlink instance locks to drivers. Allow device layer of
drivers to use that lock directly instead of creating their own
which always runs into ordering issues in devlink callbacks.

- Add header/data split indication to guide user space enabling of
TCP zero-copy Rx.

- Allow configuring completion queue event size.

- Refactor page_pool to enable fragmenting after allocation.

- Add allocation and page reuse statistics to page_pool.

- Improve Multiple Spanning Trees support in the bridge to allow
reuse of topologies across VLANs, saving HW resources in switches.

- DSA (Distributed Switch Architecture):
- replay and offload of host VLAN entries
- offload of static and local FDB entries on LAG interfaces
- FDB isolation and unicast filtering

Merge tag 'spi-v5.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/spi

Pull spi updates from Mark Brown:
"The overwhelming bulk of this pull request is a change from Uwe
Kleine-König which changes the return type of the remove() function to
void as part of some wider work he's doing to do this for all bus
types, causing updates to most SPI device drivers. The branch with
that on has been cross merged with a couple of other trees which added
new SPI drivers this cycle, I'm not expecting any build issues
resulting from the change.

Otherwise it's been a relatively quiet release with some new device
support, a few minor features and the welcome completion of the
conversion of the subsystem to use GPIO descriptors rather than
numbers:

- Change return type of remove() to void.

- Completion of the conversion of SPI controller drivers to use GPIO
descriptors rather than numbers.

- Quite a few DT schema conversions.

- Support for multiple SPI devices on a bus in ACPI systems.

- Big overhaul of the PXA2xx SPI driver.

- Support for AMD AMDI0062, Intel Raptor Lake, Mediatek MT7986 and
MT8186, nVidia Tegra210 and Tegra234, Renesas RZ/V2L, Tesla FSD and
Sunplus SP7021"

spi: make remove callback a void function

The value returned by an spi driver's remove function is mostly ignored.
(Only an error message is printed if the value is non-zero that the
error is ignored.)

So change the prototype of the remove function to return no value. This
way driver authors are not tempted to assume that passing an error to
the upper layer is a good idea. All drivers are adapted accordingly.
There is no intended change of behaviour, all callbacks were prepared to
return 0 before.

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.

- 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

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.
