Merge tag 'net-next-6.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

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

- Wrap datapath globals into net_aligned_data, to avoid false sharing

- Preserve MSG_ZEROCOPY in forwarding (e.g. out of a container)

- Add SO_INQ and SCM_INQ support to AF_UNIX

- Add SIOCINQ support to AF_VSOCK

- Add TCP_MAXSEG sockopt to MPTCP

- Add IPv6 force_forwarding sysctl to enable forwarding per interface

- Make TCP validation of whether packet fully fits in the receive
window and the rcv_buf more strict. With increased use of HW
aggregation a single "packet" can be multiple 100s of kB

- Add MSG_MORE flag to optimize large TCP transmissions via sockmap,
improves latency up to 33% for sockmap users

- Convert TCP send queue handling from tasklet to BH workque

- Improve BPF iteration over TCP sockets to see each socket exactly
once

- Remove obsolete and unused TCP RFC3517/RFC6675 loss recovery code

- Support enabling kernel threads for NAPI processing on per-NAPI
instance basis rather than a whole device. Fully stop the kernel
NAPI thread when threaded NAPI gets disabled. Previously thread
would stick around until ifdown due to tricky synchronization

- Add output interface argument for End.X in segment routing

- MCTP: add support for gateway routing, improve bind() handling

- Don't require rtnl_lock when fetching an IPv6 neighbor over Netlink

- Add a new neighbor flag ("extern_valid"), which cedes refresh
responsibilities to userspace. This is needed for EVPN multi-homing
where a neighbor entry for a multi-homed host needs to be synced
across all the VTEPs among which the host is multi-homed

- Support NUD_PERMANENT for proxy neighbor entries

- Add a new queuing discipline for IETF RFC9332 DualQ Coupled AQM

- Add sequence numbers to netconsole messages. Unregister
netconsole's console when all net targets are removed. Code
refactoring. Add a number of selftests

- Align IPSec inbound SA lookup to RFC 4301. Only SPI and protocol
should be used for an inbound SA lookup

selftests: net: Skip test if IPv6 is not configured

Extend the `check_for_dependencies()` function in `lib_netcons.sh` to check
whether IPv6 is enabled by verifying the existence of
`/proc/net/if_inet6`. Having IPv6 is a now a dependency of netconsole
tests. If the file does not exist, the script will skip the test with an
appropriate message suggesting to verify if `CONFIG_IPV6` is enabled.

This prevents the test to misbehave if IPv6 is not configured.

Merge branch 'netpoll-factor-out-functions-from-netpoll_send_udp-and-add-ipv6-selftest'

Breno Leitao says:

====================
netpoll: Factor out functions from netpoll_send_udp() and add ipv6 selftest

Refactors the netpoll UDP transmit path to improve code clarity,
maintainability, and protocol-layer encapsulation.

Function netpoll_send_udp() has more than 100 LoC, which is hard to
understand and review. After this patchset, it has only 32 LoC, which is
more manageable.

The series systematically moves the construction of protocol headers
(UDP, IPv4, IPv6, Ethernet) out of the core `netpoll_send_udp()`
function into dedicated static helpers:

- `push_udp()` for UDP header setup
- `push_ipv4()` and `push_ipv6()` for IP header setup
- `push_eth()` for Ethernet header setup

This results in a clean, layered abstraction that mirrors the protocol
stack, reduces code duplication, and improves readability.

Also, to make sure this is not breaking anything, add IPv6 selftest to
netconsole tests, which will exercise this code. This test would also pick
problems similiar to the one fixed by f599020702698 ("net: netpoll:
Initialize UDP checksum field before checksumming"), which was
embarrassin we didn't have a selftest catch it.

Anyway, there are **no functional changes** intended in this patchset.

selftests: net: Add IPv6 support to netconsole basic tests

Add IPv6 support to the netconsole basic functionality tests by:

- Introducing separate IPv4 and IPv6 address variables (SRCIP4/SRCIP6,
DSTIP4/DSTIP6) to replace the single SRCIP/DSTIP variables
- Adding select_ipv4_or_ipv6() function to choose protocol version
- Updating socat configuration to use UDP6-LISTEN for IPv6 tests
- Adding wait_for_port() wrapper to handle protocol-specific port waiting
- Expanding test matrix to run both basic and extended formats against
both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols
- Improving cleanup to kill any remaining socat processes
- Adding sleep delays for better IPv6 packet handling reliability

The test now validates netconsole functionality across both IP versions,
improving test coverage for dual-stack network environments.

This test would avoid the regression fixed by commit f59902070269 ("net:

Merge branch 'netpoll-untangle-netconsole-and-netpoll'

Breno Leitao says:

====================
netpoll: Untangle netconsole and netpoll

Initially netpoll and netconsole were created together, and some
functions are in the wrong file. Seperate netconsole-only functions
in netconsole, avoiding exports.

1. Expose netpoll logging macros in the public header to enable consistent
log formatting across netpoll consumers.

2. Relocate netconsole-specific functions from netpoll to the netconsole
module where they are actually used, reducing unnecessary coupling.

3. Remove unnecessary function exports

4. Rename netpoll parsing functions in netconsole to better reflect their
specific usage.

5. Create a test to check that cmdline works fine. This was in my todo
list since [1], this was a good time to add it here to make sure this
patchset doesn't regress.

PS: The code was split in a way that it is easy to review. When copying
the functions from netpoll to netconsole, I do not change than other
than adding `static`. This will make checkpatch unhappy, but, further
patches will address the issues. It is done this way to make it easy for
reviewers.

selftests: net: add netconsole test for cmdline configuration

Add a new selftest to verify netconsole module loading with command
line arguments. This test exercises the init_netconsole() path and
validates proper parsing of the netconsole= parameter format.

The test:
- Loads netconsole module with cmdline configuration instead of
dynamic reconfiguration
- Validates message transmission through the configured target
- Adds helper functions for cmdline string generation and module
validation

This complements existing netconsole selftests by covering the
module initialization code path that processes boot-time parameters.
This test is useful to test issues like the one described in [1].

Merge branch 'netconsole-optimize-console-registration-and-improve-testing'

Breno Leitao says:

====================
netconsole: Optimize console registration and improve testing

During performance analysis of console subsystem latency, I discovered that
netconsole registers console handlers even when no active targets exist.
These orphaned console handlers are invoked on every printk() call, get
the lock, iterate through empty target lists, and consume CPU cycles
without performing any useful work.

This patch series addresses the inefficiency by:

1. Implementing dynamic console registration/unregistration based on target
availability, ensuring console handlers are only active when needed
2. Adding automatic cleanup of unused console registrations when targets
are disabled or removed
3. Extending the selftest suite to cover non-extended console format,
which was previously untested

The optimization reduces printk() overhead by eliminating unnecessary
function calls and list traversals when netconsole targets are not
configured, improving overall system performance during heavy logging
scenarios.

Remove the exit call from validate_result() function and move the

The validate_result() function should focus on validation logic

Merge tag 'net-next-6.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"Core:

- Implement the Device Memory TCP transmit path, allowing zero-copy
data transmission on top of TCP from e.g. GPU memory to the wire.

- Move all the IPv6 routing tables management outside the RTNL scope,
under its own lock and RCU. The route control path is now 3x times
faster.

- Convert queue related netlink ops to instance lock, reducing again
the scope of the RTNL lock. This improves the control plane
scalability.

- Refactor the software crc32c implementation, removing unneeded
abstraction layers and improving significantly the related
micro-benchmarks.

- Optimize the GRO engine for UDP-tunneled traffic, for a 10%
performance improvement in related stream tests.

- Cover more per-CPU storage with local nested BH locking; this is a
prep work to remove the current per-CPU lock in local_bh_disable()
on PREMPT_RT.

- Introduce and use nlmsg_payload helper, combining buffer bounds
verification with accessing payload carried by netlink messages.

Netfilter:

- Rewrite the procfs conntrack table implementation, improving
considerably the dump performance. A lot of user-space tools still
use this interface.

- Implement support for wildcard netdevice in netdev basechain and
flowtables.

- Integrate conntrack information into nft trace infrastructure.

- Export set count and backend name to userspace, for better
introspection.

BPF:

- BPF qdisc support: BPF-qdisc can be implemented with BPF struct_ops
programs and can be controlled in similar way to traditional qdiscs
using the "tc qdisc" command.

- Refactor the UDP socket iterator, addressing long standing issues
WRT duplicate hits or missed sockets.

Protocols:

- Improve TCP receive buffer auto-tuning and increase the default
upper bound for the receive buffer; overall this improves the
single flow maximum thoughput on 200Gbs link by over 60%.

- Add AFS GSSAPI security class to AF_RXRPC; it provides transport
security for connections to the AFS fileserver and VL server.

- Improve TCP multipath routing, so that the sources address always
matches the nexthop device.

- Introduce SO_PASSRIGHTS for AF_UNIX, to allow disabling SCM_RIGHTS,
and thus preventing DoS caused by passing around problematic FDs.

- Retire DCCP socket. DCCP only receives updates for bugs, and major
distros disable it by default. Its removal allows for better
organisation of TCP fields to reduce the number of cache lines hit
in the fast path.

- Extend TCP drop-reason support to cover PAWS checks.

Driver API:

- Reorganize PTP ioctl flag support to require an explicit opt-in for
the drivers, avoiding the problem of drivers not rejecting new
unsupported flags.

- Converted several device drivers to timestamping APIs.

- Introduce per-PHY ethtool dump helpers, improving the support for
dump operations targeting PHYs.

Tests and tooling:

- Add support for classic netlink in user space C codegen, so that
ynl-c can now read, create and modify links, routes addresses and
qdisc layer configuration.

- Add ynl sub-types for binary attributes, allowing ynl-c to output
known struct instead of raw binary data, clarifying the classic
netlink output.

- Extend MPTCP selftests to improve the code-coverage.

- Add tests for XDP tail adjustment in AF_XDP.

New hardware / drivers:

- OpenVPN virtual driver: offload OpenVPN data channels processing to
the kernel-space, increasing the data transfer throughput WRT the
user-space implementation.

- Renesas glue driver for the gigabit ethernet RZ/V2H(P) SoC.

- Broadcom asp-v3.0 ethernet driver.

- AMD Renoir ethernet device.

- ReakTek MT9888 2.5G ethernet PHY driver.

- Aeonsemi 10G C45 PHYs driver.

selftests: net: move wait_local_port_listen to lib.sh

The function wait_local_port_listen() is the only function defined in
net_helper.sh. Since some tests source both lib.sh and net_helper.sh,
we can simplify the setup by moving wait_local_port_listen() to lib.sh.

With this change, net_helper.sh becomes redundant and can be removed.
