Merge tag 'net-next-7.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-nextPull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski: "One of the 'small improvements all over the place' releases for us. It's hard to draw any direct comparisons because summer vacations disrupted our patch processing (and presumably - generation) quite a bit. Quick and dirty count suggests we (Paolo and I) merged a very similar number of net (632) and net-next (648) patches. This is not telling the full story either because 1/3 to 1/2 of the net-next patches also *seem* like AI-driven low priority fixes, cleanups and clarifications. We are completely overwhelmed, of course. The glimmer of hope is that we secured sufficient LLM budget and access (thank you Meta!) to run reviews with multiple frontier models on each patch. This eliminates some hallucinations. That said, in terms of review, the LLMs can only do so much. The sad truth is that our APIs (especially for rare events like PCIe errors, timeouts etc) have always been racy, and now LLMs don't let us ignore that. I expect our direction for the next release will be to tweak the reviews a little bit more, but start shifting focus to letting the LLMs take care of the busy work - managing patchwork, automating common process complaints, editing commit messages, and maybe applying patches which already got "reviewed-by" tags from people we trust... Core & protocols: - A few steps lowering rtnl_lock dependence: - per-netns netdev unregistration for select SW drivers (e.g. veth, ipvlan, tunnels) - rtnl_lock-less FIB rule changes (RTM_NEWRULE and RTM_DELRULE) - prepare software drivers and TC qdiscs for rtnl_lock-less GET - Support BIG TCP (>64kB TSO) in UDP tunnels (vxlan, geneve) - Support buffers larger than PAGE_SIZE in devmem zero-copy API - Improve MPTCP handling of extreme memory pressure handling, when out-of-order queue had to be pruned - Report the per-group user count via RTM_GETMULTICAST - Expose the route deletion reason in RTM_DELROUTE - Add a SO_RIGHTS_NOTRUNC option to UNIX sockets to enable more useful handling of LSM denials when receiving SCM_RIGHTS messages: instead of truncating the message at the first blocked fd, keep every fd slot and store the LSM errno in the blocked slot - IPv6 Segment Routing - support looking up the post-encap SID (address) in a different/specified routing table - Support PRP RedBox (interlink) creation - Support per-nexthop UDP dst port in VXLAN - Continue converting getsockopt callbacks in a number of protocols to iov_iter Ethernet: - Merge initial CXL support for AMD/Solarflare NICs (shared branch with the CXL tree) - New drivers: - ADIN1140 10BASE-T1S MACPHY - Initial skeleton of Intel iXD and ZTE Dinghai drivers - High-speed NICs: -

PLDM (Platform Level Data Model) is a DMTF standard for firmwaremanagement that provides a vendor-neutral interface for firmware updates.The implementation uses the kernel's pldmfw library for package parsingand component matching. Users can update entire firmware packages orindividual components via devlink flash. Component information isdisplayed via devlink info, showing firmware versions and update statusfor each component.The series also adds host backed memory support, allowing firmware torequest memory pages from the host for its operations.====================Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260730-upstream_v8-v12-0-136cd174ee85@amd.comSigned-off-by: Jakub Kicinski List of files: /linux/drivers/net/ethernet/amd/Kconfig

pds_core: add PLDM firmware update support via devlink flashImplement PLDM FW Update in the pds_core driver using the upstreampldmfw API. This allows updating an entire PLDM FW package at onceor updating specific firmware components by name.Flash the entire image: devlink dev flash pci/0000:b5:00.0 file firmware.pldmfwFlash a specific component from the PLDM FW package: devlink dev flash pci/0000:b5:00.0 \ file firmware.pldmfw component fw.cpldPer-component update uses driver-defined component names (fw, fw.cpld,etc.).

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'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're giving that a chance.
