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

==================== tools: ynl: convert samples into selftests
The "samples" were always poor man's tests, used to manually confirm that C YNL works as expected. Since a proper tests/ directory now exists move the samples and use the kselftest harness to turn them into selftests outputting KTAP. ====================

tools: ynl: convert rt-route sample to selftest
Convert rt-route.c to use kselftest_harness.h with FIXTURE/TEST_F. This is the last test to convert so clean up the Makefile.
Validate that the connected routes for 192.168.1.0/24 and 2001:db8::/64 appear in the dump.
Output:

tools: ynl: move samples to tests
The "samples" were always poor man's tests (used to manually confirm that C YNL works).
Move all C sample programs from tools/net/ynl/samples/ to tools/net/ynl/tests/, "merge" the Makefiles. The subsequent changes will convert each sample into a proper KTAP selftests.
Since these are now tests rather than samples - default to enabling asan. After all we're testing user space code here.
Sort the gitignore while at it, the page-pool entry was a leftover so delete it.
