Merge tag 'net-next-7.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

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

- Support HW queue leasing, allowing containers to be granted access
to HW queues for zero-copy operations and AF_XDP

- Number of code moves to help the compiler with inlining. Avoid
output arguments for returning drop reason where possible

- Rework drop handling within qdiscs to include more metadata about
the reason and dropping qdisc in the tracepoints

- Remove the rtnl_lock use from IP Multicast Routing

- Pack size information into the Rx Flow Steering table pointer
itself. This allows making the table itself a flat array of u32s,
thus making the table allocation size a power of two

- Report TCP delayed ack timer information via socket diag

- Add ip_local_port_step_width sysctl to allow distributing the
randomly selected ports more evenly throughout the allowed space

- Add support for per-route tunsrc in IPv6 segment routing

- Start work of switching sockopt handling to iov_iter

- Improve dynamic recvbuf sizing in MPTCP, limit burstiness and avoid
buffer size drifting up

- Support MSG_EOR in MPTCP

- Add stp_mode attribute to the bridge driver for STP mode selection.
This addresses concerns about call_usermodehelper() usage

- Remove UDP-Lite support (as announced in 2023)

- Remove support for building IPv6 as a module. Remove the now
unnecessary function calling indirection

Cross-tree stuff:

- Move Michael MIC code from generic crypto into wireless, it's
considered insecure but some WiFi networks still need it

Netfilter:

- Switch nft_fib_ipv6 module to no longer need temporary dst_entry
object allocations by using fib6_lookup() + RCU.

Florian W reports this gets us ~13% higher packet rate

- Convert IPVS's global __ip_vs_mutex to per-net service_mutex and
switch the service tables to be per-net. Convert some code that
walks the service lists to use RCU instead of the service_mutex

- Add more opinionated input validation to lower security exposure

- Make IPVS hash tables to be per-netns and resizable

Wireless:

- Finished assoc frame encryption/EPPKE/802.1X-over-auth

- Radar detection improvements

- Add 6 GHz incumbent signal detection APIs

- Multi-link support for FILS, probe response templates and client
probing

- New APIs and mac80211 support for NAN (Neighbor Aware Networking,
aka Wi-Fi Aware) so less work must be in firmware

Driver API:

- Add numerical ID for devlink instances (to avoid having to create
fake bus/device pairs just to have an ID). Support shared devlink
instances which span multiple PFs

- Add standard counters for reporting pause storm events (implement
in mlx5 and fbnic)

- Add configuration API for completion writeback buffering (implement
in mana)

- Support driver-initiated change of RSS context sizes

- Support DPLL monitoring input frequency (implement in zl3073x)

- Support per-port resources in devlink (implement in mlx5)

Misc:

- Expand the YAML spec for Netfilter

wifi: rtw89: usb: fix TX flow control by tracking in-flight URBs

rtw89_usb_ops_check_and_reclaim_tx_resource() returns a hardcoded
placeholder value (42) instead of actual TX resource availability.

wifi: rtw89: usb: fix TX flow control by tracking in-flight URBs

rtw89_usb_ops_check_and_reclaim_tx_resource() returns a hardcoded
placeholder value (42) instead of actual TX resource availability.
This violates mac80211's flow control contract, preventing backpressure
and causing uncontrolled URB accumulation under sustained TX load.

Fix by adding per-channel atomic counters (tx_inflight[]) that track
in-flight URBs. Increment before usb_submit_urb() with rollback on
failure, decrement in the completion callback, and return the
remaining capacity to mac80211. The firmware command channel (CH12)
always returns 1 since it has its own flow control.

The pre-increment pattern prevents a race where USB core completes the
URB on another CPU before the submitting code increments the counter.

128 URBs per channel provides headroom for RTL8832CU at 160 MHz
bandwidth. Tested on RTL8852AU (USB3 80 MHz) where 64 and 128 showed
equivalent throughput, and on RTL8832AU where 128 sustained full
throughput under 8-stream parallel load.

Tested on D-Link DWA-X1850 (RTL8832AU), kernel 6.19.8, Fedora 43:

Unpatched -> Patched (128 URBs)
USB3 5GHz UL: 844 -> 837 Mbps (no regression)
USB3 5GHz retx: 3 -> 0
USB3 2.4GHz UL: 162 -> 164 Mbps (no regression)
4-stream UL: 858 -> 826 Mbps (within variance)
8-stream UL: 872 -> 826 Mbps (within variance)
UDP flood: 0% loss (690K datagrams)
60-second soak: 855 Mbps, 0 retransmits

wifi: rtw89: drop redundant device reference

Driver core holds a reference to the USB interface and its parent USB
device while the interface is bound to a driver and there is no need to
take additional references unless the structures are needed after
disconnect.

Drop the redundant device reference to reduce cargo culting, make it
easier to spot drivers where an extra reference is needed, and reduce
the risk of memory leaks when drivers fail to release it.

Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL arguments

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split
over multiple lines. I only did the ones that are easy to verify the
resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next
line.

Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for
me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the
middle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial.

So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the
syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed'
scripts.

The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want
whitespace cleanup anyway.

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

Merge tag 'net-next-7.0' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"Core & protocols:

- A significant effort all around the stack to guide the compiler to
make the right choice when inlining code, to avoid unneeded calls
for small helper and stack canary overhead in the fast-path.

This generates better and faster code with very small or no text
size increases, as in many cases the call generated more code than
the actual inlined helper.

- Extend AccECN implementation so that is now functionally complete,
also allow the user-space enabling it on a per network namespace
basis.

- Add support for memory providers with large (above 4K) rx buffer.
Paired with hw-gro, larger rx buffer sizes reduce the number of
buffers traversing the stack, dincreasing single stream CPU usage
by up to ~30%.

- Do not add HBH header to Big TCP GSO packets. This simplifies the
RX path, the TX path and the NIC drivers, and is possible because
user-space taps can now interpret correctly such packets without
the HBH hint.

- Allow IPv6 routes to be configured with a gateway address that is
resolved out of a different interface than the one specified,
aligning IPv6 to IPv4 behavior.

- Multi-queue aware sch_cake. This makes it possible to scale the
rate shaper of sch_cake across multiple CPUs, while still enforcing
a single global rate on the interface.

- Add support for the nbcon (new buffer console) infrastructure to
netconsole, enabling lock-free, priority-based console operations
that are safer in crash scenarios.

- Improve the TCP ipv6 output path to cache the flow information,
saving cpu cycles, reducing cache line misses and stack use.

==================
rtw-next patches for -next release.

Main changes are to prepare to support RTL8922DE, including refactor/add
register settings in common flow, and add newly firmware command/event
handlers.

Others are some random fixes and improvements across all drivers.

wifi: rtw89: add WQ_PERCPU to alloc_workqueue users

This continues the effort to refactor workqueue APIs, which began with
the introduction of new workqueues and a new alloc_workqueue flag in:

commit 128ea9f6ccfb ("workqueue: Add system_percpu_wq and system_dfl_wq")
commit 930c2ea566af ("workqueue: Add new WQ_PERCPU flag")

The refactoring is going to alter the default behavior of
alloc_workqueue() to be unbound by default.

With the introduction of the WQ_PERCPU flag (equivalent to !WQ_UNBOUND),
any alloc_workqueue() caller that doesn’t explicitly specify WQ_UNBOUND
must now use WQ_PERCPU. For more details see the Link tag below.

In order to keep alloc_workqueue() behavior identical, explicitly request
WQ_PERCPU.
