        <description>Merge tag &apos;net-deletions&apos; of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-nextPull networking deletions from Jakub Kicinski: &quot;Delete some obsolete networking code  Old code like amateur radio and NFC have long been a burden to core  networking developers. syzbot loves to find bugs in BKL-era code, and  noobs try to fix them.  If we want to have a fighting chance of surviving the LLM-pocalypse  this code needs to find a dedicated owner or get deleted. We&apos;ve talked  about these deletions multiple times in the past and every time  someone wanted the code to stay. It is never very clear to me how many  of those people actually use the code vs are just nostalgic to see it  go. Amateur radio did have occasional users (or so I think) but most  users switched to user space implementations since its all super slow  stuff. Nobody stepped up to maintain the kernel code.  We were lucky enough to find someone who wants to help with NFC so  we&apos;re giving that a chance. Let&apos;s try to put the rest of this code  behind us&quot;* tag &apos;net-deletions&apos; of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next:  drivers: net: 8390: wd80x3: Remove this driver  drivers: net: 8390: ultra: Remove this driver  drivers: net: 8390: AX88190: Remove this driver  drivers: net: fujitsu: fmvj18x: Remove this driver  drivers: net: smsc: smc91c92: Remove this driver  drivers: net: smsc: smc9194: Remove this driver  drivers: net: amd: nmclan: Remove this driver  drivers: net: amd: lance: Remove this driver  drivers: net: 3com: 3c589: Remove this driver  drivers: net: 3com: 3c574: Remove this driver  drivers: net: 3com: 3c515: Remove this driver  drivers: net: 3com: 3c509: Remove this driver  net: packetengines: remove obsolete yellowfin driver and vendor dir  net: packetengines: remove obsolete hamachi driver  net: remove unused ATM protocols and legacy ATM device drivers  net: remove ax25 and amateur radio (hamradio) subsystem  net: remove ISDN subsystem and Bluetooth CMTP  caif: remove CAIF NETWORK LAYER

        <description>Merge branch &apos;remove-a-number-of-isa-and-pcmcia-ethernet-drivers&apos;Andrew Lunn says:====================Remove a number of ISA and PCMCIA Ethernet driversThese old drivers have not been much of a Maintenance burden untilrecently. Now there are more newbies using AI and fuzzers findingissues, resulting in more work for Maintainers. Fixing these olddrivers make little sense, if it is not clear they have users.These mostly ISA and PCMCIA Ethernet devices, mostly from the lastcentury, a couple from 2001 or 2002. It seems unlikely they are stillused. However, remove them one patch at a time so they can be broughtback if somebody still has the hardware, runs modern kernels and wantsto take up the roll of driver Maintainer.====================Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260422-v7-0-0-net-next-driver-removal-v1-v2-0-08a5b59784d5@lunn.chSigned-off-by: Jakub Kicinski &lt;kuba@kernel.org&gt;

        <description>net: packetengines: remove obsolete yellowfin driver and vendor dirSimilar to the hamachi driver, the yellowfin driver supports hardwarethat is over two decades old and no longer in active use.Since yellowfin was the last remaining driver in the packetenginesvendor directory, we can now safely remove the entire directory anddrop its associated references from the parent Kconfig and Makefile.This eliminates dead code and reduces the overall maintenance burdenon the netdev subsystem.Signed-off-by: Mingyu Wang &lt;25181214217@stu.xidian.edu.cn&gt;Reviewed-by: Andrew Lunn &lt;andrew@lunn.ch&gt;Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260422044820.485660-3-25181214217@stu.xidian.edu.cnSigned-off-by: Jakub Kicinski &lt;kuba@kernel.org&gt;

        <description>Merge tag &apos;net-next-7.1&apos; of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-nextPull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski: &quot;Core &amp; 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&apos;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&apos;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  Drivers   - Software:      - macvlan: support multicast rx for bridge ports with shared        source MAC address      - team: decouple receive and transmit enablement for IEEE 802.3ad        LACP &quot;independent control&quot;   - Ethernet high-speed NICs:      - nVidia/Mellanox:         - support high order pages in zero-copy mode (for payload           coalescing)         - support multiple packets in a page (for systems with 64kB           pages)      - Broadcom 25-400GE (bnxt):         - implement XDP RSS hash metadata extraction         - add software fallback for UDP GSO, lowering the IOMMU cost      - Broadcom 800GE (bnge):         - add link status and configuration handling         - add various HW and SW statistics      - Marvell/Cavium:         - NPC HW block support for cn20k      - Huawei (hinic3):         - add mailbox / control queue         - add rx VLAN offload         - add driver info and link management   - Ethernet NICs:      - Marvell/Aquantia:         - support reading SFP module info on some AQC100 cards      - Realtek PCI (r8169):         - add support for RTL8125cp      - Realtek USB (r8152):         - support for the RTL8157 5Gbit chip         - add 2500baseT EEE status/configuration support   - Ethernet NICs embedded and off-the-shelf IP:      - Synopsys (stmmac):         - cleanup and reorganize SerDes handling and PCS support         - cleanup descriptor handling and per-platform data         - cleanup and consolidate MDIO defines and handling         - shrink driver memory use for internal structures         - improve Tx IRQ coalescing         - improve TCP segmentation handling         - add support for Spacemit K3      - Cadence (macb):         - support PHYs that have inband autoneg disabled with GEM         - support IEEE 802.3az EEE         - rework usrio capabilities and handling      - AMD (xgbe):         - improve power management for S0i3         - improve TX resilience for link-down handling   - Virtual:      - Google cloud vNIC:         - support larger ring sizes in DQO-QPL mode         - improve HW-GRO handling         - support UDP GSO for DQO format      - PCIe NTB:         - support queue count configuration   - Ethernet PHYs:      - automatically disable PHY autonomous EEE if MAC is in charge      - Broadcom:         - add BCM84891/BCM84892 support      - Micrel:         - support for LAN9645X internal PHY      - Realtek:         - add RTL8224 pair order support         - support PHY LEDs on RTL8211F-VD         - support spread spectrum clocking (SSC)      - Maxlinear:         - add PHY-level statistics via ethtool   - Ethernet switches:      - Maxlinear (mxl862xx):         - support for bridge offloading         - support for VLANs         - support driver statistics   - Bluetooth:      - large number of fixes and new device IDs      - Mediatek:         - support MT6639 (MT7927)         - support MT7902 SDIO   - WiFi:      - Intel (iwlwifi):         - UNII-9 and continuing UHR work      - MediaTek (mt76):         - mt7996/mt7925 MLO fixes/improvements         - mt7996 NPU support (HW eth/wifi traffic offload)      - Qualcomm (ath12k):         - monitor mode support on IPQ5332         - basic hwmon temperature reporting         - support IPQ5424      - Realtek:         - add USB RX aggregation to improve performance         - add USB TX flow control by tracking in-flight URBs   - Cellular:      - IPA v5.2 support&quot;* tag &apos;net-next-7.1&apos;

        <title>37a93dd5c49b5fda807fd204edf2547c3493319c - Merge tag &apos;net-next-7.0&apos; of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next</title>
        <link>http://kernelsources.org:8080/source/history/linux/drivers/net/ethernet/Kconfig#37a93dd5c49b5fda807fd204edf2547c3493319c</link>
        <description>Merge tag &apos;net-next-7.0&apos; of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-nextPull networking updates from Paolo Abeni: &quot;Core &amp; protocols:   - A significant effort all around the stack to guide the compiler to     make the right choice when inlining code, to avoid unneeded calls     for small helper and stack canary overhead in the fast-path.     This generates better and faster code with very small or no text     size increases, as in many cases the call generated more code than     the actual inlined helper.   - Extend AccECN implementation so that is now functionally complete,     also allow the user-space enabling it on a per network namespace     basis.   - Add support for memory providers with large (above 4K) rx buffer.     Paired with hw-gro, larger rx buffer sizes reduce the number of     buffers traversing the stack, dincreasing single stream CPU usage     by up to ~30%.   - Do not add HBH header to Big TCP GSO packets. This simplifies the     RX path, the TX path and the NIC drivers, and is possible because     user-space taps can now interpret correctly such packets without     the HBH hint.   - Allow IPv6 routes to be configured with a gateway address that is     resolved out of a different interface than the one specified,     aligning IPv6 to IPv4 behavior.   - Multi-queue aware sch_cake. This makes it possible to scale the     rate shaper of sch_cake across multiple CPUs, while still enforcing     a single global rate on the interface.   - Add support for the nbcon (new buffer console) infrastructure to     netconsole, enabling lock-free, priority-based console operations     that are safer in crash scenarios.   - Improve the TCP ipv6 output path to cache the flow information,     saving cpu cycles, reducing cache line misses and stack use.   - Improve netfilter packet tracker to resolve clashes for most     protocols, avoiding unneeded drops on rare occasions.   - Add IP6IP6 tunneling acceleration to the flowtable infrastructure.   - Reduce tcp socket size by one cache line.   - Notify neighbour changes atomically, avoiding inconsistencies     between the notification sequence and the actual states sequence.   - Add vsock namespace support, allowing complete isolation of vsocks     across different network namespaces.   - Improve xsk generic performances with cache-alignment-oriented     optimizations.   - Support netconsole automatic target recovery, allowing netconsole     to reestablish targets when underlying low-level interface comes     back online.  Driver API:   - Support for switching the working mode (automatic vs manual) of a     DPLL device via netlink.   - Introduce PHY ports representation to expose multiple front-facing     media ports over a single MAC.   - Introduce &quot;rx-polarity&quot; and &quot;tx-polarity&quot; device tree properties,     to generalize polarity inversion requirements for differential     signaling.   - Add helper to create, prepare and enable managed clocks.  Device drivers:   - Add Huawei hinic3 PF etherner driver.   - Add DWMAC glue driver for Motorcomm YT6801 PCIe ethernet     controller.   - Add ethernet driver for MaxLinear MxL862xx switches   - Remove parallel-port Ethernet driver.   - Convert existing driver timestamp configuration reporting to     hwtstamp_get and remove legacy ioctl().   - Convert existing drivers to .get_rx_ring_count(), simplifing the RX     ring count retrieval. Also remove the legacy fallback path.   - Ethernet high-speed NICs:      - Broadcom (bnxt, bng):         - bnxt: add FW interface update to support FEC stats histogram           and NVRAM defragmentation         - bng: add TSO and H/W GRO support      - nVidia/Mellanox (mlx5):         - improve latency of channel restart operations, reducing the           used H/W resources         - add TSO support for UDP over GRE over VLAN         - add flow counters support for hardware steering (HWS) rules         - use a static memory area to store headers for H/W GRO,           leading to 12% RX tput improvement      - Intel (100G, ice, idpf):         - ice: reorganizes layout of Tx and Rx rings for cacheline           locality and utilizes __cacheline_group* macros on the new           layouts         - ice: introduces Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) support      - Meta (fbnic):         - adds debugfs for firmware mailbox and tx/rx rings vectors   - Ethernet virtual:      - geneve: introduce GRO/GSO support for double UDP encapsulation   - Ethernet NICs consumer, and embedded:      - Synopsys (stmmac):         - some code refactoring and cleanups      - RealTek (r8169):         - add support for RTL8127ATF (10G Fiber SFP)         - add dash and LTR support      - Airoha:         - AN8811HB 2.5 Gbps phy support      - Freescale (fec):         - add XDP zero-copy support      - Thunderbolt:         - add get link setting support to allow bonding      - Renesas:         - add support for RZ/G3L GBETH SoC   - Ethernet switches:      - Maxlinear:         - support R(G)MII slow rate configuration         - add support for Intel GSW150      - Motorcomm (yt921x):         - add DCB/QoS support      - TI:         - icssm-prueth: support bridging (STP/RSTP) via the switchdev           framework   - Ethernet PHYs:      - Realtek:         - enable SGMII and 2500Base-X in-band auto-negotiation         - simplify and reunify C22/C45 drivers      - Micrel: convert bindings to DT schema   - CAN:      - move skb headroom content into skb extensions, making CAN        metadata access more robust   - CAN drivers:      - rcar_canfd:         - add support for FD-only mode         - add support for the RZ/T2H SoC      - sja1000: cleanup the CAN state handling   - WiFi:      - implement EPPKE/802.1X over auth frames support      - split up drop reasons better, removing generic RX_DROP      - additional FTM capabilities: 6 GHz support, supported number of        spatial streams and supported number of LTF repetitions      - better mac80211 iterators to enumerate resources      - initial UHR (Wi-Fi 8) support for cfg80211/mac80211   - WiFi drivers:      - Qualcomm/Atheros:         - ath11k: support for Channel Frequency Response measurement         - ath12k: a significant driver refactor to support multi-wiphy           devices and and pave the way for future device support in the           same driver (rather than splitting to ath13k)         - ath12k: support for the QCC2072 chipset      - Intel:         - iwlwifi: partial Neighbor Awareness Networking (NAN) support         - iwlwifi: initial support for U-NII-9 and IEEE 802.11bn      - RealTek (rtw89):         - preparations for RTL8922DE support   - Bluetooth:      - implement setsockopt(BT_PHY) to set the connection packet type/PHY      - set link_policy on incoming ACL connections   - Bluetooth drivers:      - btusb: add support for MediaTek7920, Realtek RTL8761BU and 8851BE      - btqca: add WCN6855 firmware priority selection feature&quot;* tag &apos;net-next-7.0&apos; of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next: (1254 commits)  bnge/bng_re: Add a new HSI  net: macb: Fix tx/rx malfunction after phy link down and up  af_unix: Fix memleak of newsk in unix_stream_connect().  net: ti: icssg-prueth: Add optional dependency on HSR  net: dsa: add basic initial driver for MxL862xx switches  net: mdio: add unlocked mdiodev C45 bus accessors  net: dsa: add tag format for MxL862xx switches  dt-bindings: net: dsa: add MaxLinear MxL862xx  selftests: drivers: net: hw: Modify toeplitz.c to poll for packets  octeontx2-pf: Unregister devlink on probe failure  net: renesas: rswitch: fix forwarding offload statemachine  ionic: Rate limit unknown xcvr type messages  tcp: inet6_csk_xmit() optimization  tcp: populate inet-&gt;cork.fl.u.ip6 in tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock()  tcp: populate inet-&gt;cork.fl.u.ip6 in tcp_v6_connect()  ipv6: inet6_csk_xmit() and inet6_csk_update_pmtu() use inet-&gt;cork.fl.u.ip6  ipv6: use inet-&gt;cork.fl.u.ip6 and np-&gt;final in ip6_datagram_dst_update()  ipv6: use np-&gt;final in inet6_sk_rebuild_header()  ipv6: add daddr/final storage in struct ipv6_pinfo  net: stmmac: qcom-ethqos: fix qcom_ethqos_serdes_powerup()  ...

        <description>net: ethernet: neterion: s2io: remove unused driverThe s2io driver supports Exar (formerly Neterion and S2io) PCI-X 10Gigabit Ethernet cards. Hardware supporting PCI-X has not beenmanufactured in years. On x86, it was quickly replaced by PCIe. Whileit stuck around longer on POWER hardware, the last POWER hardware tosupport it was POWER7, which is not supported by ppc64le Linuxdistributions. The last supported mainstream ppc64 Linux distributionwas RHEL 7; while it is still supported under ELS, ELS is onlyavailable for x86 and IBM Z. It is possible to use many PCI-X cards instandard PCI slots (which are still available on new motherboards), butit does not make sense to do so for 10 Gigabit Ethernet because themaximum bandwidth of standard PCI is only 1067 Mbps. It is thereforehighly unlikely that this driver is still being used. Remove thedriver, and move the former maintainer to the CREDITS file (restoringcredit for the vxge driver, which was removed in commit f05643a0f60b(&quot;eth: remove neterion/vxge&quot;).Signed-off-by: Ethan Nelson-Moore &lt;enelsonmoore@gmail.com&gt;Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260126031352.22997-1-enelsonmoore@gmail.comSigned-off-by: Jakub Kicinski &lt;kuba@kernel.org&gt;
