Merge tag 'net-next-6.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

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

- Support usec resolution of TCP timestamps, enabled selectively by a
route attribute.

- Defer regular TCP ACK while processing socket backlog, try to send
a cumulative ACK at the end. Increase single TCP flow performance
on a 200Gbit NIC by 20% (100Gbit -> 120Gbit).

- The Fair Queuing (FQ) packet scheduler:
- add built-in 3 band prio / WRR scheduling
- support bypass if the qdisc is mostly idle (5% speed up for TCP RR)
- improve inactive flow reporting
- optimize the layout of structures for better cache locality

- Support TCP Authentication Option (RFC 5925, TCP-AO), a more modern
replacement for the old MD5 option.

- Add more retransmission timeout (RTO) related statistics to
TCP_INFO.

- Support sending fragmented skbs over vsock sockets.

- Make sure we send SIGPIPE for vsock sockets if socket was
shutdown().

- Add sysctl for ignoring lower limit on lifetime in Router
Advertisement PIO, based on an in-progress IETF draft.

- Add sysctl to control activation of TCP ping-pong mode.

- Add sysctl to make connection timeout in MPTCP configurable.

- Support rcvlowat and notsent_lowat on MPTCP sockets, to help apps
limit the number of wakeups.

- Support netlink GET for MDB (multicast forwarding), allowing user
space to request a single MDB entry instead of dumping the entire
table.

- Support selective FDB flushing in the VXLAN tunnel driver.

- Allow limiting learned FDB entries in bridges, prevent OOM attacks.

- Allow controlling via configfs netconsole targets which were
created via the kernel cmdline at boot, rather than via configfs at
runtime.

- Support multiple PTP timestamp event queue readers with different
filters.

- MCTP over I3C.

BPF:

- Add new veth-like netdevice where BPF program defines the logic of
the xmit routine. It can operate in L3 and L2 mode.

- Support exceptions - allow asserting conditions which should never
be true but are hard for the verifier to infer. With some extra
flexibility around handling of the exit / failure:

https://lwn.net/Articles/938435/

- Add support for local per-cpu kptr, allow allocating and storing
per-cpu objects in maps. Access to those objects operates on the
value for the current CPU.

This allows to deprecate local one-off implementations of per-CPU
storage like BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_CGROUP_STORAGE maps.

- Extend cgroup BPF sockaddr hooks for UNIX sockets. The use case is
for systemd to re-implement the LogNamespace feature which allows
running multiple instances of systemd-journald to process the logs
of different services.

- Enable open-coded task_vma iteration, after maple tree conversion
made it hard to directly walk VMAs in tracing programs.

- Add open-coded task, css_task and css iterator support. One of the
use cases is customizable OOM victim selection via BPF.

- Allow source address selection with bpf_*_fib_lookup().

- Add ability to pin BPF timer to the current CPU.

- Prevent creation of infinite loops by combining tail calls and
fentry/fexit programs.

- Add missed stats for kprobes to retrieve the number of missed
kprobe executions and subsequent executions of BPF programs.

- Inherit system settings for CPU security mitigations.

- Add BPF v4 CPU instruction support for arm32 and s390x.

Changes to common code:

- overflow: add DEFINE_FLEX() for on-stack definition of structs with
flexible array members.

- Process doc update with more guidance for reviewers.

Driver API:

- Simplify locking in WiFi (cfg80211 and mac80211 layers), use wiphy
mutex in most places and remove a lot of smaller locks.

- Create a common DPLL configuration API. Allow configuring and
querying state of PLL circuits used for clock syntonization, in
network time distribution.

- Unify fragmented and full page allocation APIs in page pool code.
Let drivers be ignorant of PAGE_SIZE.

- Rework PHY state machine to avoid races with calls to phy_stop().

- Notify DSA drivers of MAC address changes on user ports, improve
correctness of offloads which depend on matching port MAC
addresses.

- Allow antenna control on injected WiFi frames.

- Reduce the number of variants of napi_schedule().

- Simplify error handling when composing devlink health messages.

Misc:

- A lot of KCSAN data race "fixes", from Eric.

- A lot of __counted_by() annotations, from Kees.

- A lot of strncpy -> strscpy and printf format fixes.

- Replace master/slave terminology with conduit/user in DSA drivers.

Merge branch 'selftests-tc-testing-parallel-tdc'

Pedro Tammela says:

====================
selftests/tc-testing: parallel tdc

As the number of tdc tests is growing, so is our completion wall time.
One of the ideas to improve this is to run tests in parallel, as they
are self contained.

This series allows for tests to run in parallel, in batches of 32 tests.
Not all tests can run in parallel as they might conflict with each other.
The code will still honor this requirement even when trying to run the
tests over the worker pool.

In order to make this happen we had to localize the test resources
(patches 1 and 2), where instead of having all tests sharing one single
namespace and veths devices each test now gets it's own local namespace and devices.

Even though the tests serialize over rtnl_lock in the kernel, we
measured a speedup of about 3x in a test VM.

selftests/tc-testing: implement tdc parallel test run

Use a Python process pool to run the tests in parallel.
Not all tests can run in parallel, for instance tests that are not
namespaced and tests that use netdevsim, as they can conflict with one
another.

The code logic will split the tests into serial and parallel.
For the parallel tests, we build batches of 32 tests and queue each
batch on the process pool. For the serial tests, they are queued as a
whole into the process pool, which in turn executes them concurrently
with the parallel tests.

Even though the tests serialize on rtnl_lock in the kernel, this feature
showed results with a ~3x speedup on the wall time for the entire test suite
running in a VM:
Before - 4m32.502s
After - 1m19.202s

Examples:
In order to run tdc using 4 processes:
./tdc.py -J4 <...>
In order to run tdc using 1 process:
./tdc.py -J1 <...> || ./tdc.py <...>

Note that the kernel configuration will affect the speed of the tests,
especially if such configuration slows down process creation and/or
fork().

11) Lots of cleanups and improvements to the r8169 driver from Heiner
Kallweit, including support for ->xmit_more. This driver has been
getting some much needed love since he started working on it.

12) Lots of new forwarding selftests from Petr Machata.

13) Enable VXLAN learning in mlxsw driver, from Ido Schimmel.

14) Packed ring support for virtio, from Tiwei Bie.

15) Add new Aquantia AQtion USB driver, from Dmitry Bezrukov.

16) Add XDP support to dpaa2-eth driver, from Ioana Ciocoi Radulescu.

17) Implement coalescing on TCP backlog queue, from Eric Dumazet.

18) Implement carrier change in tun driver, from Nicolas Dichtel.

19) Support msg_zerocopy in UDP, from Willem de Bruijn.

20) Significantly improve garbage collection of neighbor objects when
the table has many PERMANENT entries, from David Ahern.

21) Remove egdev usage from nfp and mlx5, and remove the facility
completely from the tree as it no longer has any users. From Oz
Shlomo and others.

22) Add a NETDEV_PRE_CHANGEADDR so that drivers can veto the change and
therefore abort the operation before the commit phase (which is the
NETDEV_CHANGEADDR event). From Petr Machata.

23) Add indirect call wrappers to avoid retpoline overhead, and use them
in the GRO code paths. From Paolo Abeni.

24) Add support for netlink FDB get operations, from Roopa Prabhu.

25) Support bloom filter in mlxsw driver, from Nir Dotan.

26) Add SKB extension infrastructure. This consolidates the handling of
the auxiliary SKB data used by IPSEC and bridge netfilter, and is
designed to support the needs to MPTCP which could be integrated in
the future.

27) Lots of XDP TX optimizations in mlx5 from Tariq Toukan.

Merge branch 'tc-testing-next'

Lucas Bates says:

====================
tc-testing: implement command timeouts and better results tracking

Patch 1 adds a timeout feature for any command tdc launches in a subshell.
This prevents tdc from hanging indefinitely.

Patches 2-4 introduce a new method for tracking and generating test case
results, and implements it across the core script and all applicable
plugins.

tc-testing: Add new TdcResults module

This module includes new classes for tdc to use in keeping track
of test case results, instead of generating and tracking a lengthy
string.

The new module can be extended to support multiple formal
test result formats to be friendlier to automation.
