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.

- Handful of KUnit tests for netdev and WiFi core.

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

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

As the number of tdc tests is growing, so is our completion wall time.

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.

Merge tag '5.17-net-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Core
----

- Defer freeing TCP skbs to the BH handler, whenever possible, or at
least perform the freeing outside of the socket lock section to
decrease cross-CPU allocator work and improve latency.

- Add netdevice refcount tracking to locate sources of netdevice and
net namespace refcount leaks.

- Make Tx watchdog less intrusive - avoid pausing Tx and restarting
all queues from a single CPU removing latency spikes.

- Various small optimizations throughout the stack from Eric Dumazet.

- Make netdev->dev_addr[] constant, force modifications to go via
appropriate helpers to allow us to keep addresses in ordered data
structures.

- Replace unix_table_lock with per-hash locks, improving performance
of bind() calls.

- Extend skb drop tracepoint with a drop reason.

- Allow SO_MARK and SO_PRIORITY setsockopt under CAP_NET_RAW.

BPF
---

- New helpers:
- bpf_find_vma(), find and inspect VMAs for profiling use cases
- bpf_loop(), runtime-bounded loop helper trading some execution
time for much faster (if at all converging) verification
- bpf_strncmp(), improve performance, avoid compiler flakiness
- bpf_get_func_arg(), bpf_get_func_ret(), bpf_get_func_arg_cnt()
for tracing programs, all inlined by the verifier

- Support BPF relocations (CO-RE) in the kernel loader.

- Further the support for BTF_TYPE_TAG annotations.

- Allow access to local storage in sleepable helpers.

- Convert verifier argument types to a composable form with different
attributes which can be shared across types (ro, maybe-null).

creating new, extensible ones where missing and deprecating those
to be removed.

Merge branch 'tc-action-offload'

Simon Horman says:

====================
allow user to offload tc action to net device

Baowen Zheng says:

Allow use of flow_indr_dev_register/flow_indr_dev_setup_offload to offload
tc actions independent of flows.

The motivation for this work is to prepare for using TC police action
instances to provide hardware offload of OVS metering feature - which calls
for policers that may be used by multiple flows and whose lifecycle is
independent of any flows that use them.

This patch includes basic changes to offload drivers to return EOPNOTSUPP
if this feature is used - it is not yet supported by any driver.
