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.

- Improve netfilter packet tracker to resolve clashes for most
protocols, avoiding unneeded drops on rare occasions.

- Add IP6IP6 tunneling acceleration to the flowtable infrastructure.

- Reduce tcp socket size by one cache line.

- Notify neighbour changes atomically, avoiding inconsistencies
between the notification sequence and the actual states sequence.

- Add vsock namespace support, allowing complete isolation of vsocks
across different network namespaces.

- Improve xsk generic performances with cache-alignment-oriented
optimizations.

- Support netconsole automatic target recovery, allowing netconsole
to reestablish targets when underlying low-level interface comes
back online.

Driver API:

- Support for switching the working mode (automatic vs manual) of a
DPLL device via netlink.

- Introduce PHY ports representation to expose multiple front-facing
media ports over a single MAC.

- Introduce "rx-polarity" and "tx-polarity" device tree properties,
to generalize polarity inversion requirements for differential
signaling.

- Add helper to create, prepare and enable managed clocks.

Device drivers:

- Add Huawei hinic3 PF etherner driver.

- Add DWMAC glue driver for Motorcomm YT6801 PCIe ethernet
controller.

- Add ethernet driver for MaxLinear MxL862xx switches

- Remove parallel-port Ethernet driver.

- Convert existing driver timestamp configuration reporting to
hwtstamp_get and remove legacy ioctl().

- Convert existing drivers to .get_rx_ring_count(), simplifing the RX
ring count retrieval. Also remove the legacy fallback path.

Bobby Eshleman says:

====================
vsock: add namespace support to vhost-vsock and loopback

This series adds namespace support to vhost-vsock and loopback. It does
not add namespaces to any of the other guest transports (virtio-vsock,
hyperv, or vmci).

The current revision supports two modes: local and global. Local
mode is complete isolation of namespaces, while global mode is complete
sharing between namespaces of CIDs (the original behavior).

The mode is set using the parent namespace's
/proc/sys/net/vsock/child_ns_mode and inherited when a new namespace is
created. The mode of the current namespace can be queried by reading
/proc/sys/net/vsock/ns_mode. The mode can not change after the namespace
has been created.

Modes are per-netns. This allows a system to configure namespaces
independently (some may share CIDs, others are completely isolated).
This also supports future possible mixed use cases, where there may be
namespaces in global mode spinning up VMs while there are mixed mode
namespaces that provide services to the VMs, but are not allowed to
allocate from the global CID pool (this mode is not implemented in this
series).

Additionally, added tests for the new namespace features:

vsock: add netns to vsock core

Add netns logic to vsock core. Additionally, modify transport hook
prototypes to be used by later transport-specific patches (e.g.,
*_seqpacket_allow()).

Namespaces are supported primarily by changing socket lookup functions
(e.g., vsock_find_connected_socket()) to take into account the socket
namespace and the namespace mode before considering a candidate socket a
"match".

This patch also introduces the sysctl /proc/sys/net/vsock/ns_mode to
report the mode and /proc/sys/net/vsock/child_ns_mode to set the mode
for new namespaces.

Add netns functionality (initialization, passing to transports, procfs,
etc...) to the af_vsock socket layer. Later patches that add netns
support to transports depend on this patch.

This patch changes the allocation of random ports for connectible vsocks
in order to avoid leaking the random port range starting point to other
namespaces.

dgram_allow(), stream_allow(), and seqpacket_allow() callbacks are
modified to take a vsk in order to perform logic on namespace modes. In
future patches, the net will also be used for socket
lookups in these functions.
