Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Core & protocols:

- Replace busylock at the Tx queuing layer with a lockless list.

Resulting in a 300% (4x) improvement on heavy TX workloads, sending
twice the number of packets per second, for half the cpu cycles.

- Allow constantly busy flows to migrate to a more suitable CPU/NIC
queue.

Normally we perform queue re-selection when flow comes out of idle,
but under extreme circumstances the flows may be constantly busy.

Add sysctl to allow periodic rehashing even if it'd risk packet
reordering.

- Optimize the NAPI skb cache, make it larger, use it in more paths.

- Attempt returning Tx skbs to the originating CPU (like we already
did for Rx skbs).

- Various data structure layout and prefetch optimizations from Eric.

- Remove ktime_get() from the recvmsg() fast path, ktime_get() is
sadly quite expensive on recent AMD machines.

- Extend threaded NAPI polling to allow the kthread busy poll for
packets.

- Make MPTCP use Rx backlog processing. This lowers the lock
pressure, improving the Rx performance.

- Support memcg accounting of MPTCP socket memory.

- Allow admin to opt sockets out of global protocol memory accounting
(using a sysctl or BPF-based policy). The global limits are a poor
fit for modern container workloads, where limits are imposed using
cgroups.

- Improve heuristics for when to kick off AF_UNIX garbage collection.

- Allow users to control TCP SACK compression, and default to 33% of
RTT.

- Add tcp_rcvbuf_low_rtt sysctl to let datacenter users avoid
unnecessarily aggressive rcvbuf growth and overshot when the
connection RTT is low.

- Preserve skb metadata space across skb_push / skb_pull operations.

- Support for IPIP encapsulation in the nftables flowtable offload.

- Support appending IP interface information to ICMP messages (RFC
5837).

- Support setting max record size in TLS (RFC 8449).

- Remove taking rtnl_lock from RTM_GETNEIGHTBL and RTM_SETNEIGHTBL.

- Use a dedicated lock (and RCU) in MPLS, instead of rtnl_lock.

- Let users configure the number of write buffers in SMC.

- Add new struct sockaddr_unsized for sockaddr of unknown length,
from Kees.

- Some conversions away from the crypto_ahash API, from Eric Biggers.

- Some preparations for slimming down struct page.

- YAML Netlink protocol spec for WireGuard.

- Add a tool on top of YAML Netlink specs/lib for reporting commonly
computed derived statistics and summarized system state.

Driver API:

- Add CAN XL support to the CAN Netlink interface.

- Add uAPI for reporting PHY Mean Square Error (MSE) diagnostics, as
defined by the OPEN Alliance's "Advanced diagnostic features for
100BASE-T1 automotive Ethernet PHYs" specification.

- Add DPLL phase-adjust-gran pin attribute (and implement it in
zl3073x).

- Refactor xfrm_input lock to reduce contention when NIC offloads
IPsec and performs RSS.

- Add info to devlink params whether the current setting is the
default or a user override. Allow resetting back to default.

- Add standard device stats for PSP crypto offload.

- Leverage DSA frame broadcast to implement simple HSR frame
duplication for a lot of switches without dedicated HSR offload.

- Add uAPI defines for 1.6Tbps link modes.

Device drivers:

- Add Motorcomm YT921x gigabit Ethernet switch support.

- Add MUCSE driver for N500/N210 1GbE NIC series.

- Convert drivers to support dedicated ops for timestamping control,
and away from the direct IOCTL handling. While at it support GET
operations for PHY timestamping.

- Add (and convert most drivers to) a dedicated ethtool callback for
reading the Rx ring count.

- Significant refactoring efforts in the STMMAC driver, which
supports Synopsys turn-key MAC IP integrated into a ton of SoCs.

The main changes are:

1) Preserve skb metadata after a TC BPF program has changed the skb,
from Jakub Sitnicki.
This allows a TC program at the end of a TC filter chain to still see
the skb metadata, even if another TC program at the front of the chain
has changed the skb using BPF helpers.

2) Initial af_smc bpf_struct_ops support to control the smc specific
syn/synack options, from D. Wythe.

Merge branch 'net-smc-introduce-smc_hs_ctrl'

D. Wythe says:

====================
net/smc: Introduce smc_hs_ctrl

This patch aims to introduce BPF injection capabilities for SMC and
includes a self-test to ensure code stability.

Since the SMC protocol isn't ideal for every situation, especially
short-lived ones, most applications can't guarantee the absence of
such scenarios. Consequently, applications may need specific strategies
to decide whether to use SMC. For example, an application might limit SMC
usage to certain IP addresses or ports.

To maintain the principle of transparent replacement, we want applications
to remain unaffected even if they need specific SMC strategies. In other
words, they should not require recompilation of their code.

Additionally, we need to ensure the scalability of strategy implementation.
While using socket options or sysctl might be straightforward, it could
complicate future expansions.

Fortunately, BPF addresses these concerns effectively. Users can write
their own strategies in eBPF to determine whether to use SMC, and they can
easily modify those strategies in the future.

This is a rework of the series from [1]. Changes since [1] are limited to
the SMC parts:

1. Rename smc_ops to smc_hs_ctrl and change interface name.
2. Squash SMC patches, removing standalone non-BPF hook capability.
3. Fix typos

[1]: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20250123015942.94810-1-alibuda@linux.alibaba.com/#t

v2 -> v1:
- Removed the fixes patch, which have already been merged on current branch.
- Fixed compilation warning of smc_call_hsbpf() when CONFIG_SMC_HS_CTRL_BPF
is not enabled.
- Changed the default value of CONFIG_SMC_HS_CTRL_BPF to Y.
- Fix typo and renamed some variables

v3 -> v2:
- Removed the libbpf patch, which have already been merged on current branch.
- Fixed sparse warning of smc_call_hsbpf() and xchg().

v4 -> v3:
- Rebased on latest bpf-next, updated SMC loopback config from SMC_LO to DIBS_LO
per upstream changes.

v5 -> v4:
- Removed the redundant sk parameter from smc_call_hsbpf
- Reject registration when bpf_link is set, link support will be added in the
future.
- Updated selftests with new test heplers.

bpf/selftests: Add selftest for bpf_smc_hs_ctrl

This tests introduces a tiny smc_hs_ctrl for filtering SMC connections
based on IP pairs, and also adds a realistic topology model to verify it.

Also, we can only use SMC loopback under CI test, so an additional
configuration needs to be enabled.

Follow the steps below to run this test.
