Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"One of the 'small improvements all over the place' releases for us.

It's hard to draw any direct comparisons because summer vacations
disrupted our patch processing (and presumably - generation) quite a
bit.

Quick and dirty count suggests we (Paolo and I) merged a very similar
number of net (632) and net-next (648) patches. This is not telling
the full story either because 1/3 to 1/2 of the net-next patches also
*seem* like AI-driven low priority fixes, cleanups and clarifications.

We are completely overwhelmed, of course. The glimmer of hope is that
we secured sufficient LLM budget and access (thank you Meta!) to run
reviews with multiple frontier models on each patch. This eliminates
some hallucinations. That said, in terms of review, the LLMs can only
do so much.

The sad truth is that our APIs (especially for rare events like PCIe
errors, timeouts etc) have always been racy, and now LLMs don't let us
ignore that. I expect our direction for the next release will be to
tweak the reviews a little bit more, but start shifting focus to
letting the LLMs take care of the busy work - managing patchwork,
automating common process complaints, editing commit messages, and
maybe applying patches which already got "reviewed-by" tags from
people we trust...

Core & protocols:

- A few steps lowering rtnl_lock dependence:
- per-netns netdev unregistration for select SW drivers (e.g.
veth, ipvlan, tunnels)
- rtnl_lock-less FIB rule changes (RTM_NEWRULE and RTM_DELRULE)

Merge branch 'openvswitch-remove-support-for-legacy-tunnel-ports'

Ilya Maximets says:

====================
openvswitch: remove support for legacy tunnel ports

ovs-vswitchd doesn't use OVS_VPORT_TYPE_GRE/VXLAN/GENEVE with the
Linux kernel module since adding support for standard tunnel devices
with COLLECT_METADATA back in 2017. The code to use them was only
activated as a fallback for old kernels, so not used in practice. And
it is now fully removed in the upcoming OVS 4.0 release.

Modern way to use tunnels with OVS is to create standard tunnel ports
with RTM_NEWLINK + COLLECT_METADATA and add them as OVS_VPORT_TYPE_NETDEV.

Device reference management and the netlink options parsing for these
legacy port types is complicated and was a CVE magnet in the previous
release cycles. Existence of these modules also makes locking analysis
for geneve module and other core tunnel devices unnecessarily more
complicated, especially in light of migration to per-netns locking:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/CAAVpQUDmZEaQNDSySLayqexgTrUbhBaL7XPCt9XNQzh+NGQ=UQ@mail.gmail.com

Since there are no actual users for these port types for a very long
time, let's just remove the support entirely. There is no practical
reason to run OVS from 2017 on a recent kernel.

While it's technically a uAPI change in some sense, from the user's
perspective this removal looks indistinguishable from the kernel built
with CONFIG_OPENVSWITCH_GENEVE/VXLAN/GRE disabled. And it seems like
removal of unused drivers/modules is not a rare event these days.

There are 3 parts to this set:

1. The first patch does the tunnel port removal, which is the primary
goal here.

2. Patches 2 and 3 remove extra infrastructure that is no longer in
use by anything inside the openvswitch module.

3. Patches 4-6 remove functions from gre/vxlan/geneve modules that
were added for openvswitch in the past to support the tunnel types.
openvswitch is the only in-tree consumer of these functions.

Version 1:
- Rebased.
- Removed the tunnel modules from the new OVS selftest config.
- Addressed RFC review from Sashiko:
* Made ovs_netdev_link() static.
* Restored -EOPNOTSUPP if OVS_VPORT_ATTR_OPTIONS was provided.
* Removed retry in ovs_vport_cmd_new() as not needed anymore.

openvswitch: remove support for legacy tunnel types

with COLLECT_METADATA back in 2017. The code to use them was only

perspective this removal looks indistinguishable from the kernel built
with CONFIG_OPENVSWITCH_GENEVE/VXLAN/GRE disabled. And it seems like
removal of unused drivers/modules is not a rare event these days.

A comment is added to the uAPI header noting that standard RTM_NEWLINK
with COLLECT_METADATA followed by OVS_VPORT_CMD_NEW with the simple
OVS_VPORT_TYPE_NETDEV should be used instead.

Modules responsible for these tunnel ports are removed as well as
selftests covering this functionality. Further cleanups will follow.

openvswitch: add trace points

This makes openvswitch module use the event tracing framework
to log the upcall interface and action execution pipeline. When
using openvswitch as the packet forwarding engine, some types of
debugging are made possible simply by using the ovs-vswitchd's
ofproto/trace command. However, such a command has some
limitations:

1. When trying to trace packets that go through the CT action,
the state of the packet can't be determined, and probably
would be potentially wrong.

2. Deducing problem packets can sometimes be difficult as well
even if many of the flows are known

3. It's possible to use the openvswitch module even without
the ovs-vswitchd (although, not common use).

Introduce the event tracing points here to make it possible for
working through these problems in kernel space. The style is
copied from the mac80211 driver-trace / trace code for
consistency - this creates some checkpatch splats, but the
official 'guide' for adding tracepoints, as well as the existing
examples all add the same splats so it seems acceptable.
