Merge tag 'net-next-6.14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next
Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni: "This is slightly smaller than usual, with the most interesting work being still around RTNL scope reduction.
Core:
- More core refactoring to reduce the RTNL lock contention, including preparatory work for the per-network namespace RTNL lock, replacing RTNL lock with a per device-one to protect NAPI-related net device data and moving synchronize_net() calls outside such lock.
- Extend drop reasons usage, adding net scheduler, AF_UNIX, bridge and more specific TCP coverage.
- Reduce network namespace tear-down time by removing per-subsystems synchronize_net() in tipc and sched.
- Add flow label selector support for fib rules, allowing traffic redirection based on such header field.
Netfilter:
- Do not remove netdev basechain when last device is gone, allowing netdev basechains without devices.
- Revisit the flowtable teardown strategy, dealing better with fin, reset and re-open events.
- Scale-up IP-vs connection dumping by avoiding linear search on each restart.
Protocols:
- A significant XDP socket refactor, consolidating and optimizing several helpers into the core
- Better scaling of ICMP rate-limiting, by removing false-sharing in inet peers handling.
- Introduces netlink notifications for multicast IPv4 and IPv6 address changes.
- Add ipsec support for IP-TFS/AggFrag encapsulation, allowing aggregation and fragmentation of the inner IP.
- Add sysctl to configure TIME-WAIT reuse delay for TCP sockets, to avoid local port exhaustion issues when the average connection lifetime is very short.
- Support updating keys (re-keying) for connections using kernel TLS (for TLS 1.3 only).
- Support ipv4-mapped ipv6 address clients in smc-r v2.
- Add support for jumbo data packet transmission in RxRPC sockets, gluing multiple data packets in a single UDP packet.
- Support RxRPC RACK-TLP to manage packet loss and retransmission in conjunction with the congestion control algorithm.
Driver API:
- Introduce a unified and structured interface for reporting PHY statistics, exposing consistent data across different H/W via ethtool.
- Make timestamping selectable, allow the user to select the desired hwtstamp provider (PHY or MAC) administratively.
- Add support for configuring a header-data-split threshold (HDS) value via ethtool, to deal with partial or buggy H/W implementation.
- Consolidate DSA drivers Energy Efficiency Ethernet support.
- Add EEE management to phylink, making use of the phylib implementation.
- Add phylib support for in-band capabilities negotiation.
- Simplify how phylib-enabled mac drivers expose the supported interfaces.
Tests and tooling:
- Make the YNL tool package-friendly to make it easier to deploy it separately from the kernel.
- Increase TCP selftest coverage importing several packetdrill test-cases.
- Regenerate the ethtool uapi header from the YNL spec, to ease maintenance and future development.
- Add YNL support for decoding the link types used in net self-tests, allowing a single build to run both net and drivers/net.
