Merge tag 'net-next-6.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"Core:

- Implement the Device Memory TCP transmit path, allowing zero-copy
data transmission on top of TCP from e.g. GPU memory to the wire.

- Move all the IPv6 routing tables management outside the RTNL scope,
under its own lock and RCU. The route control path is now 3x times
faster.

- Convert queue related netlink ops to instance lock, reducing again
the scope of the RTNL lock. This improves the control plane
scalability.

- Refactor the software crc32c implementation, removing unneeded
abstraction layers and improving significantly the related
micro-benchmarks.

- Optimize the GRO engine for UDP-tunneled traffic, for a 10%
performance improvement in related stream tests.

- Cover more per-CPU storage with local nested BH locking; this is a
prep work to remove the current per-CPU lock in local_bh_disable()
on PREMPT_RT.

- Introduce and use nlmsg_payload helper, combining buffer bounds
verification with accessing payload carried by netlink messages.

Netfilter:

- Rewrite the procfs conntrack table implementation, improving
considerably the dump performance. A lot of user-space tools still
use this interface.

- Implement support for wildcard netdevice in netdev basechain and
flowtables.

- Integrate conntrack information into nft trace infrastructure.

- Export set count and backend name to userspace, for better
introspection.

BPF:

- BPF qdisc support: BPF-qdisc can be implemented with BPF struct_ops
programs and can be controlled in similar way to traditional qdiscs
using the "tc qdisc" command.

- Refactor the UDP socket iterator, addressing long standing issues
WRT duplicate hits or missed sockets.

Protocols:

- Improve TCP receive buffer auto-tuning and increase the default
upper bound for the receive buffer; overall this improves the
single flow maximum thoughput on 200Gbs link by over 60%.

- Add AFS GSSAPI security class to AF_RXRPC; it provides transport
security for connections to the AFS fileserver and VL server.

- Improve TCP multipath routing, so that the sources address always
matches the nexthop device.

- Introduce SO_PASSRIGHTS for AF_UNIX, to allow disabling SCM_RIGHTS,
and thus preventing DoS caused by passing around problematic FDs.

- Retire DCCP socket. DCCP only receives updates for bugs, and major
distros disable it by default. Its removal allows for better
organisation of TCP fields to reduce the number of cache lines hit
in the fast path.

- Extend TCP drop-reason support to cover PAWS checks.

Driver API:

- Reorganize PTP ioctl flag support to require an explicit opt-in for
the drivers, avoiding the problem of drivers not rejecting new
unsupported flags.

- Converted several device drivers to timestamping APIs.

- Introduce per-PHY ethtool dump helpers, improving the support for
dump operations targeting PHYs.

Tests and tooling:

- Add support for classic netlink in user space C codegen, so that
ynl-c can now read, create and modify links, routes addresses and
qdisc layer configuration.

- Add ynl sub-types for binary attributes, allowing ynl-c to output
known struct instead of raw binary data, clarifying the classic
netlink output.

- Extend MPTCP selftests to improve the code-coverage.

- Add tests for XDP tail adjustment in AF_XDP.

New hardware / drivers:

- OpenVPN virtual driver: offload OpenVPN data channels processing to
the kernel-space, increasing the data transfer throughput WRT the
user-space implementation.

- Renesas glue driver for the gigabit ethernet RZ/V2H(P) SoC.

- Broadcom asp-v3.0 ethernet driver.

Correct the locking when coming from the notifier.

The NETDEV_XDP_FEAT_CHANGE notifier is already fully locked,
it's the documentation that's incorrect.

Merge branch 'net-depend-on-instance-lock-for-queue-related-netlink-ops'

Jakub Kicinski says:

====================
net: depend on instance lock for queue related netlink ops

netdev-genl used to be protected by rtnl_lock. In previous release
we already switched the queue management ops (for Rx zero-copy) to
the instance lock. This series converts other ops to depend on the
instance lock when possible.

Unfortunately queue related state is hard to lock (unlike NAPI)
as the process of switching the number of queues usually involves
a large reconfiguration of the driver. The reconfig process has
historically been under rtnl_lock, but for drivers which opt into
ops locking it is also under the instance lock. Leverage that
and conditionally take rtnl_lock or instance lock depending
on the device capabilities.

netdev: add "ops compat locking" helpers

Add helpers to "lock a netdev in a backward-compatible way",
which for ops-locked netdevs will mean take the instance lock.
For drivers which haven't opted into the ops locking we'll take
rtnl_lock.

The scoped foreach is dropping and re-taking the lock for each
device, even if prev and next are both under rtnl_lock.
I hope that's fine since we expect that netdev nl to be mostly
supported by modern drivers, and modern drivers should also
opt into the instance locking.

Note that these helpers are mostly needed for queue related state,
because drivers modify queue config in their ops in a non-atomic
way. Or differently put, queue changes don't have a clear-cut API
like NAPI configuration. Any state that can should just use the
instance lock directly, not the "compat" hacks.

"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.

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.

deadlocks between unregistering objects and sysfs access.

TCP.

sockets.

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

Merge branch 'net-skip-taking-rtnl_lock-for-queue-get'

Jakub Kicinski says:

====================
net: skip taking rtnl_lock for queue GET (prep)

Skip taking rtnl_lock for queue GET ops on devices which opt
into running all ops under the instance lock. In preparating
for performing queue ops without rtnl lock clarify the protection
of queue-related fields.

net: designate queue -> napi linking as "ops protected"

netdev netlink is the only reader of netdev_{,rx_}queue->napi,
and it already holds netdev->lock. Switch protection of
the writes to netdev->lock to "ops protected".

The expectation will be now that accessing queue->napi
will require netdev->lock for "ops locked" drivers, and
rtnl_lock for all other drivers.

Current "ops locked" drivers don't require any changes.
gve and netdevsim use _locked() helpers right next to
netif_queue_set_napi() so they must be holding the instance
lock. iavf doesn't call it. bnxt is a bit messy but all paths
seem locked.
