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

Merge branch 'convert-config_ipv6-to-built-in-and-remove-stubs'
Fernando Fernandez Mancera says:
==================== Convert CONFIG_IPV6 to built-in and remove stubs
Historically, the Linux kernel has supported compiling the IPv6 stack as a loadable module. While this made sense in the early days of IPv6 adoption, modern deployments and distributions overwhelmingly either build IPv6 directly into the kernel (CONFIG_IPV6=y) or disable it entirely (CONFIG_IPV6=n). The modular IPv6 use-case offers image size and memory savings for specific setups, this benefit is outweighed by the architectural burden it imposes on the subsystems on implementation and maintenance.
In addition, most of the distributions are already using CONFIG_IPV6=y by default [1], including openWRT [2] and Android gki_defconfig [3]. So this won't have an impact on them. The most impacted architecture would probably be arm64 as their default config is still using CONFIG_IPV6=m.
To allow core networking, BPF, Netfilter, and various device drivers to safely interact with a potentially unloaded IPv6 module, the kernel relies on indirect call structures like ipv6_stub, ipv6_bpf_stub, and nf_ipv6_ops, along with dynamic RCU registrations for things like ICMPv6 senders.
This patch series addresses this by changing CONFIG_IPV6 from a tristate to a boolean, enforcing that IPv6 is either built-in or disabled. This allows us to completely rip out the stub infrastructures and safely replace them with direct function calls.
The bloat-o-meter report the following results for m68k, arm64, x86_64 defconfig.
m68k (keep on mind that CONFIG_IPV6 is disabled now): add/remove: 65/938 grow/shrink: 36/254 up/down: 3022/-49692 (-46670)
arm64: add/remove: 1251/265 grow/shrink: 81/46 up/down: 448740/-71519 (377221)
x86_64: add/remove: 62/98 grow/shrink: 10/39 up/down: 2497/-4357 (-1860)
Considering that each new kernel release increases sizes by 30-40KiB on average, this size increase isn't a huge jump for the distributions that are still using CONFIG_IPV6=m. For the ones that are already using CONFIG_IPV6=y, the size is reduced actually.
All the patches has been independently build tested. With allmodconfig and allmodconfig + CONFIG_IPV6=n. In addition, net selftest has been run against them on virtme-ng.
The series applied as a whole as been tested with allyesconfig and also allyesconfig + CONFIG_IPV6=n but not all patches has been independently tested this way.

ipv6: convert CONFIG_IPV6 to built-in only and clean up Kconfigs
Maintaining a modular IPv6 stack offers image size savings for specific setups, this benefit is outweighed by the architectural burden it imposes on the subsystems on implementation and maintenance. Therefore, drop it.
Change CONFIG_IPV6 from tristate to bool. Remove all Kconfig dependencies across the tree that explicitly checked for IPV6=m. In addition, remove MODULE_DESCRIPTION(), MODULE_ALIAS(), MODULE_AUTHOR() and MODULE_LICENSE().
This is also replacing module_init() by device_initcall(). It is not possible to use fs_initcall() as IPv4 does because that creates a race condition on IPv6 addrconf.
Finally, modify the default configs from CONFIG_IPV6=m to CONFIG_IPV6=y except for m68k as according to the bloat-o-meter the image is increasing by 330KB~ and that isn't acceptable. Instead, disable IPv6 on this architecture by default. This is aligned with m68k RAM requirements and recommendations [1].

Merge tag 'net-next-5.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next
Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski: "Core:
- support "prefer busy polling" NAPI operation mode, where we defer softirq for some time expecting applications to periodically busy poll
- AF_XDP: improve efficiency by more batching and hindering the adjacency cache prefetcher
- af_packet: make packet_fanout.arr size configurable up to 64K
- tcp: optimize TCP zero copy receive in presence of partial or unaligned reads making zero copy a performance win for much smaller messages
- XDP: add bulk APIs for returning / freeing frames
- sched: support fragmenting IP packets as they come out of conntrack
- net: allow virtual netdevs to forward UDP L4 and fraglist GSO skbs
BPF:
- BPF switch from crude rlimit-based to memcg-based memory accounting
- BPF type format information for kernel modules and related tracing enhancements
- BPF implement task local storage for BPF LSM
- allow the FENTRY/FEXIT/RAW_TP tracing programs to use bpf_sk_storage
Protocols:
- mptcp: improve multiple xmit streams support, memory accounting and many smaller improvements
- TLS: support CHACHA20-POLY1305 cipher
- seg6: add support for SRv6 End.DT4/DT6 behavior
- sctp: Implement RFC 6951: UDP Encapsulation of SCTP
- ppp_generic: add ability to bridge channels directly
- bridge: Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) support as is defined in IEEE 802.1Q section 12.14.
Drivers:
- mlx5: make use of the new auxiliary bus to organize the driver internals
- mlx5: more accurate port TX timestamping support
- mlxsw: - improve the efficiency of offloaded next hop updates by using the new nexthop object API - support blackhole nexthops - support IEEE 802.1ad (Q-in-Q) bridging
- rtw88: major bluetooth co-existance improvements
- iwlwifi: support new 6 GHz frequency band
- ath11k: Fast Initial Link Setup (FILS)
- mt7915: dual band concurrent (DBDC) support
- net: ipa: add basic support for IPA v4.5
Refactor:
- a few pieces of in_interrupt() cleanup work from Sebastian Andrzej Siewior
- phy: add support for shared interrupts; get rid of multiple driver APIs and have the drivers write a full IRQ handler, slight growth of driver code should be compensated by the simpler API which also allows shared IRQs
- add common code for handling netdev per-cpu counters
- move TX packet re-allocation from Ethernet switch tag drivers to a central place
- improve efficiency and rename nla_strlcpy
- number of W=1 warning cleanups as we now catch those in a patchwork build bot
Old code removal:
- wan: delete the DLCI / SDLA drivers

Merge branch 'net-bridge-cfm-add-support-for-connectivity-fault-management-cfm'
Henrik Bjoernlund says:
==================== net: bridge: cfm: Add support for Connectivity Fault Management(CFM)
Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) is defined in 802.1Q section 12.14.
Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) comprises capabilities for detecting, verifying, and isolating connectivity failures in Virtual Bridged Networks. These capabilities can be used in networks operated by multiple independent organizations, each with restricted management access to each other’s equipment.
CFM functions are partitioned as follows: — Path discovery — Fault detection — Fault verification and isolation — Fault notification — Fault recovery
The primary CFM protocol shims are called Maintenance Points (MPs). A MP can be either a MEP or a MHF. The MEP: -It is the Maintenance association End Point described in 802.1Q section 19.2. -It is created on a specific level (1-7) and is assuring that no CFM frames are passing through this MEP on lower levels. -It initiates and terminates/validates CFM frames on its level. -It can only exist on a port that is related to a bridge. The MHF: -It is the Maintenance Domain Intermediate Point (MIP) Half Function (MHF) described in 802.1Q section 19.3. -It is created on a specific level (1-7). -It is extracting/injecting certain CFM frame on this level. -It can only exist on a port that is related to a bridge. -Currently not supported.
There are defined the following CFM protocol functions: -Continuity Check -Loopback. Currently not supported. -Linktrace. Currently not supported.
This CFM component supports create/delete of MEP instances and configuration of the different CFM protocols. Also status information can be fetched and delivered through notification due to defect status change.
The user interacts with CFM using the 'cfm' user space client program, the client talks with the kernel using netlink.
Any notification emitted by CFM from the kernel can be monitored in user space by starting 'cfm_server' program.
Currently this 'cfm' and 'cfm_server' programs are standalone placed in a cfm repository https://github.com/microchip-ung/cfm but it is considered to integrate this into 'iproute2'.
v1 -> v2 Added the CFM switchdev interface and also added utilization by calling the interface from the kernel CFM implementation trying to offload CFM functionality to HW. This offload (CFM driver) is currently not implemented.
Corrections based on RCF comments: -The single CFM kernel implementation Patch is broken up into three patches. -Changed the list of MEP instances from list_head to hlist_head. -Removed unnecessary RCU list traversing. -Solved RCU unlocking problem. -Removed unnecessary comments. -Added ASSERT_RTNL() where required. -Shaping up on error messages. -Correction NETLINK br_fill_ifinfo() to be able to handle 'filter_mask' with multiple flags asserted.
v2 -> v3 -The switchdev definition and utilization has been removed as there was no switchdev implementation. -Some compiling issues are fixed as Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com>.
v3 -> v4 -Fixed potential crash during hlist walk where elements are removed. -Giving all commits unique titles. -NETLINK implementation split into three commits. -Commit "bridge: cfm: Bridge port remove" is merged with commit "bridge: cfm: Kernel space implementation of CFM. MEP create/delete."
v4 -> v5 -Reordered members in struct net_bridge to bring member frame_type_list to the first cache line. -Helper functions nla_get_mac() and nla_get_maid() are removed. -The NLA_POLICY_NESTED() macro is used to initialize the br_cfm_policy array. -Fixed reverse xmas tree.
v5 -> v6 -Fixed that the SKB buffer was not freed during error handling return. -Removed unused struct definition. -Changed bool to u8 bitfields for space save. -Utilizing the NETLINK policy validation feature.
v6 -> v7 -Removed check of parameters in br_cfm_mep_config_set() and br_cfm_cc_peer_mep_add() in first commit of MEP implementation (Patch 4 out of 10)
