        <description>Merge tag &apos;net-next-7.3&apos; of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-nextPull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski: &quot;One of the &apos;small improvements all over the place&apos; releases for us.  It&apos;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&apos;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 &quot;reviewed-by&quot; tags from  people we trust...  Core &amp; 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 (&gt;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:      - AMD/Pensando:         - support firmware flashing      - Cisco (enic):         - SR-IOV V2 admin channel and MBOX protocol      - Huawei (hns3):         - support for ethtool pfc_prevention_tout      - nVidia/Mellanox:         - support sharing bandwidth control across interfaces           of the same device      - Marvell (octeontx2-pf):         - link RQ page pools to netdev for Netlink stats      - Google vNIC:         - XDP metadata support for DQ RDA      - Microsoft vNIC:         - support forcing full-page RX buffers   - Other NICs:      - Synopsys IP:         - eic7700: support for eth1      - Microchip (lan743x):         - support for RMII interface      - Wangxun:         - support for ethtool -G and -C for VFs         - add Tx timeout and PCIe error handling      - Intel (igb/igc):         - RSS key get/set support         - support for forcing link speed without auto-negotiation   - Switches:      - NXP (dpaa2):         - support bonding/LAG offload      - Mediatek:         - mt7530: EN7528 support         - initial support for MT7628      - Micrel (ksz8/9):         - refactoring work to move towards library model         - PTP support for KSZ8463      - nVidia/Mellanox:         - support rtnl-lock-less ethtool callbacks      - Realtek:         - rtl8366rb: use generic RTL83xx code         - support SGMII and HSGMII for RTL8367S   - PHYs:      - Airoha:         - EcoNet EN7528 PHY support      - DAPU Telecom         - DAPU Telecom DAP8211R(I) Gigabit PHY support      - Realtek:         - support RTL8261C_CG         - support RTL8261D  Wireless:   - nl80211: per-link statistics support for multi-link operation   - mac80211: AQL/airtime-fairness support for multicast   - Merge Peripheral Authentication Service (PAS) / TEE support for     ath12k (shared branch with the firmware/qcom tree)   - New drivers:      - mm81x for Morse Micro Long-Range S1G devices      - nxpwifi for NXP devices (mostly forked off from mwifiex)   - Driver changes:      - Broadcom (brcmfmac):         - DPP support, some Cypress part update      - MediaTek (mt76):         - mt7928 support         - mt7925 NAN support         - mt7996 AP powersave improvements      - Qualcomm (ath12k):         - much kernel infrastructure integration work         - AHB platform MultiPD support      - Realtek (rt89):         - LED support         - RTL8922DE support         - dual-BT coex for RTL8922D      - Intel:         - new FW version support  Bluetooth:   - HCI: add support for Shorter Connection Interval (SCI) feature   - af_bluetooth: add minimal context analysis annotations   - Driver changes:      - Intel:         - add Bluetooth SAR revision 2 support         - add vendor_reset PCI sysfs for PLDR      - Mediatek:         - add USB IDs for MT7902 and MT7922 devices      - Realtek:         - add USB IDs for 8761CU and 8852BE devices      - NXP:         - add M.2 Bluetooth device support using pwrseq  Misc:   - DPLL support for manual/numerical oscillator control (NCO)     (implement in zl3073x)   - MCTP support for MCTP over USB v1.1 (DMTF DSP0283)   - Power-over-Ethernet: support Realtek PSE controllers   - Remove the IBM EHEA driver   - Remove tulip/xircom_cb driver&quot;* tag &apos;net-next-7.3&apos;

        <description>Merge branch &apos;200GbE&apos; of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tnguy/next-queueTony Nguyen says:====================Introduce iXD driverLarysa Zaremba says:This patch series adds the iXD driver, which supports the Intel(R)Control Plane PCI Function on Intel E2100 and later IPUs and FNICs.It facilitates a centralized control over multiple IDPF PFs/VFs/SFsexposed by the same card. The reason for the separation is to be ableto offload the control plane to the host different from where the dataplane is running.This is the first phase in the release of this driver where we implement theinitialization of the core PCI driver. Subsequent phases will implementadvanced features like usage of idpf ethernet aux device, link management,NVM update via devlink, switchdev port representors, data and exception path,flow rule programming, etc.The first phase entails the following aspects:1. Additional libie functionalities:Patches 1-5 introduce additional common library API for drivers tocommunicate with the control plane through mailbox communication.A control queue is a hardware interface which is used by the driverto interact with other subsystems (like firmware). The library APIsallow the driver to setup and configure the control queues to send andreceive virtchnl messages. The library has an internal bookkeeping(XN API) mechanism to keep track of the send messages. It supports bothsynchronous as well as asynchronous way of handling the messages. Thelibrary also handles the timeout internally for synchronous messagesusing events. This reduces the driver&apos;s overhead in handling the timeouterror cases.The current patch series supports only APIs that are needed for deviceinitialization. These include APIs in the libie_pci module:* Allocating/freeing the DMA memory and mapping the MMIO regions for  BAR0, read/write APIs for drivers to access the MMIO memoryand libie_cp module:* Control queue initialization and configuration* Transport initialization for bookkeeping* Blocking and asynchronous mailbox transactionsOnce the mailbox is initialized, the drivers can send and receive virtchnlmessages to/from the control plane.The modules above are not supposed to be linked with the main libie library,but do share the folder with it.2. idpf:Patches 6-11 refactor the idpf driver to use the libie APIs for controlqueue configuration, virtchnl transaction, device initializationand reset and adjust related code accordingly.3. ixd:Patches 12-15 add the ixd driver and implement multiple pieces of theinitialization flow as follows:* Add the ability to load* A reset is issued to ensure a clean device state, followed by  initialization of the mailbox* Device capabilities:  As part of initialization, the driver has to determine what the device is  capable of (ex. max queues, vports, etc). This information is obtained from  the firmware and stored by the driver.* Enable initial support for the devlink interface* &apos;200GbE&apos; of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tnguy/next-queue:  ixd: add devlink support  ixd: add the core initialization  ixd: add reset checks and initialize the mailbox  ixd: add basic driver framework for Intel(R) Control Plane Function  idpf: print a debug message and bail in case of non-event ctlq message  idpf: make mbx_task queueing and cancelling more consistent  idpf: refactor idpf to use libie control queues  idpf: refactor idpf to use libie_pci APIs  idpf: remove unused code for getting RSS info from device  idpf: remove &apos;vport_params_reqd&apos; field  libie: add bookkeeping support for control queue messages  libie: add control queue support  libeth: allow to create fill queues without NAPI  libie: add PCI device initialization helpers to libie  virtchnl: move virtchnl and virtchnl2 headers to &apos;include/linux/net/intel&apos;====================Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260812212532.905873-1-anthony.l.nguyen@intel.comSigned-off-by: Jakub Kicinski &lt;kuba@kernel.org&gt;

        <description>ixd: add basic driver framework for Intel(R) Control Plane FunctionAdd module register and probe functionality. Add the required support toregister IXD PCI driver, as well as probe, remove and shutdown callbacks.Enable the PCI device and request to reserve the memory resources that willbe used by the driver. Finally map the BAR0 address space.For now, use devm_kzalloc() to allocate adapter, as it requires the leastamount of code. In a later commit, it will be replaced with a devlinkalternative.Co-developed-by: Amritha Nambiar &lt;amritha.nambiar@intel.com&gt;Signed-off-by: Amritha Nambiar &lt;amritha.nambiar@intel.com&gt;Reviewed-by: Maciej Fijalkowski &lt;maciej.fijalkowski@intel.com&gt;Tested-by: Bharath R &lt;Bharath.r@intel.com&gt;Signed-off-by: Larysa Zaremba &lt;larysa.zaremba@intel.com&gt;Signed-off-by: Tony Nguyen &lt;anthony.l.nguyen@intel.com&gt;

The NAU8821 changes are a little large but morein mechanical ways than in ways that are complex.

        <description>Merge tag &apos;net-next-6.18&apos; of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-nextPull networking updates from Paolo Abeni: &quot;Core &amp; protocols:   - Improve drop account scalability on NUMA hosts for RAW and UDP     sockets and the backlog, almost doubling the Pps capacity under DoS   - Optimize the UDP RX performance under stress, reducing contention,     revisiting the binary layout of the involved data structs and     implementing NUMA-aware locking. This improves UDP RX performance     by an additional 50%, even more under extreme conditions   - Add support for PSP encryption of TCP connections; this mechanism     has some similarities with IPsec and TLS, but offers superior HW     offloads capabilities   - Ongoing work to support Accurate ECN for TCP. AccECN allows more     than one congestion notification signal per RTT and is a building     block for Low Latency, Low Loss, and Scalable Throughput (L4S)   - Reorganize the TCP socket binary layout for data locality, reducing     the number of touched cachelines in the fastpath   - Refactor skb deferral free to better scale on large multi-NUMA     hosts, this improves TCP and UDP RX performances significantly on     such HW   - Increase the default socket memory buffer limits from 256K to 4M to     better fit modern link speeds   - Improve handling of setups with a large number of nexthop, making     dump operating scaling linearly and avoiding unneeded     synchronize_rcu() on delete   - Improve bridge handling of VLAN FDB, storing a single entry per     bridge instead of one entry per port; this makes the dump order of     magnitude faster on large switches   - Restore IP ID correctly for encapsulated packets at GSO     segmentation time, allowing GRO to merge packets in more scenarios   - Improve netfilter matching performance on large sets   - Improve MPTCP receive path performance by leveraging recently     introduced core infrastructure (skb deferral free) and adopting     recent TCP autotuning changes   - Allow bridges to redirect to a backup port when the bridge port is     administratively down   - Introduce MPTCP &apos;laminar&apos; endpoint that con be used only once per     connection and simplify common MPTCP setups   - Add RCU safety to dst-&gt;dev, closing a lot of possible races   - A significant crypto library API for SCTP, MPTCP and IPv6 SR,     reducing code duplication   - Supports pulling data from an skb frag into the linear area of an     XDP buffer  Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:   - Generate netlink documentation from YAML using an integrated YAML     parser  Driver API:   - Support using IPv6 Flow Label in Rx hash computation and RSS queue     selection   - Introduce API for fetching the DMA device for a given queue,     allowing TCP zerocopy RX on more H/W setups   - Make XDP helpers compatible with unreadable memory, allowing more     easily building DevMem-enabled drivers with a unified XDP/skbs     datapath   - Add a new dedicated ethtool callback enabling drivers to provide     the number of RX rings directly, improving efficiency and clarity     in RX ring queries and RSS configuration   - Introduce a burst period for the health reporter, allowing better     handling of multiple errors due to the same root cause   - Support for DPLL phase offset exponential moving average,     controlling the average smoothing factor  Device drivers:   - Add a new Huawei driver for 3rd gen NIC (hinic3)   - Add a new SpacemiT driver for K1 ethernet MAC   - Add a generic abstraction for shared memory communication     devices (dibps)   - Ethernet high-speed NICs:      - nVidia/Mellanox:         - Use multiple per-queue doorbell, to avoid MMIO contention           issues         - support adjacent functions, allowing them to delegate their           SR-IOV VFs to sibling PFs         - support RSS for IPSec offload         - support exposing raw cycle counters in PTP and mlx5         - support for disabling host PFs.      - Intel (100G, ice, idpf):         - ice: support for SRIOV VFs over an Active-Active link           aggregate         - ice: support for firmware logging via debugfs         - ice: support for Earliest TxTime First (ETF) hardware offload         - idpf: support basic XDP functionalities and XSk      - Broadcom (bnxt):         - support Hyper-V VF ID         - dynamic SRIOV resource allocations for RoCE      - Meta (fbnic):         - support queue API, zero-copy Rx and Tx         - support basic XDP functionalities         - devlink health support for FW crashes and OTP mem corruptions         - expand hardware stats coverage to FEC, PHY, and Pause      - Wangxun:         - support ethtool coalesce options         - support for multiple RSS contexts   - Ethernet virtual:      - Macsec:         - replace custom netlink attribute checks with policy-level           checks      - Bonding:         - support aggregator selection based on port priority      - Microsoft vNIC:         - use page pool fragments for RX buffers instead of full pages           to improve memory efficiency   - Ethernet NICs consumer, and embedded:      - Qualcomm: support Ethernet function for IPQ9574 SoC      - Airoha: implement wlan offloading via NPU      - Freescale         - enetc: add NETC timer PTP driver and add PTP support         - fec: enable the Jumbo frame support for i.MX8QM      - Renesas (R-Car S4):         - support HW offloading for layer 2 switching         - support for RZ/{T2H, N2H} SoCs      - Cadence (macb): support TAPRIO traffic scheduling      - TI:         - support for Gigabit ICSS ethernet SoC (icssm-prueth)      - Synopsys (stmmac): a lot of cleanups   - Ethernet PHYs:      - Support 10g-qxgmi phy-mode for AQR412C, Felix DSA and Lynx PCS        driver      - Support bcm63268 GPHY power control      - Support for Micrel lan8842 PHY and PTP      - Support for Aquantia AQR412 and AQR115   - CAN:      - a large CAN-XL preparation work      - reorganize raw_sock and uniqframe struct to minimize memory        usage      - rcar_canfd: update the CAN-FD handling   - WiFi:      - extended Neighbor Awareness Networking (NAN) support      - S1G channel representation cleanup      - improve S1G support   - WiFi drivers:      - Intel (iwlwifi):         - major refactor and cleanup      - Broadcom (brcm80211):         - support for AP isolation      - RealTek (rtw88/89) rtw88/89:         - preparation work for RTL8922DE support      - MediaTek (mt76):         - HW restart improvements         - MLO support      - Qualcomm/Atheros (ath10k):         - GTK rekey fixes   - Bluetooth drivers:      - btusb: support for several new IDs for MT7925      - btintel: support for BlazarIW core      - btintel_pcie: support for _suspend() / _resume()      - btintel_pcie: support for Scorpious, Panther Lake-H484 IDs&quot;* tag &apos;net-next-6.18&apos;

        <description>libie: fix linking with libie_{adminq,fwlog} when CONFIG_LIBIE=nInitially, libie contained only 1 module and I assumed that new modulesin its folder would depend on it.However, Micha&#322; did a good job and libie_{adminq,fwlog} are completelyindependent, but libie/ is still traversed by Kbuild only underCONFIG_LIBIE != n.This results in undefined references with certain kernel configs.Tell Kbuild to always descend to libie/ to be able to build each moduleregardless of whether the basic one is enabled.If none of CONFIG_LIBIE* is set, Kbuild will just create an emptybuilt-in.a there with no side effects.Fixes: 641585bc978e (&quot;ixgbe: fwlog support for e610&quot;)Reported-by: kernel test robot &lt;lkp@intel.com&gt;Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/202509140606.j8z3rE73-lkp@intel.comReported-by: Breno Leitao &lt;leitao@debian.org&gt;Reported-by: Naresh Kamboju &lt;naresh.kamboju@linaro.org&gt;Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/CA+G9fYvH8d6pJRbHpOCMZFjgDCff3zcL_AsXL-nf5eB2smS8SA@mail.gmail.comSigned-off-by: Alexander Lobakin &lt;aleksander.lobakin@intel.com&gt;Reviewed-by: Tony Nguyen &lt;anthony.l.nguyen@intel.com&gt;Reviewed-by: Vadim Fedorenko &lt;vadim.fedorenko@linux.dev&gt;Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250916160118.2209412-1-aleksander.lobakin@intel.comSigned-off-by: Jakub Kicinski &lt;kuba@kernel.org&gt;
