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: -

Tue, 18 Aug 2026 15:50:16 +0200

Merge branch 'net-dsa-mt7628-embedded-switch-initial-support'Joris Vaisvila says:====================net: dsa: mt7628 embedded switch initial supportThis patch series adds initial support for the MediaTek MT7628 EmbeddedSwitch.The driver implements the basic functionality required to operate theswitch using DSA. The hardware provides five internal Fast Ethernet userports and one Gigabit port connected internally to the CPU MAC.Bridge offloading is not yet supported, but due to the CPU to switchlink being Gigabit and all the user ports being Fast Ethernet, softwarebridging is a practical solution for the initial driver.Tested on an MT7628NN-based board.====================Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260813190241.789323-1-joey@tinyisr.comSigned-off-by: Paolo Abeni List of files: /linux/drivers/net/phy/mediatek/Kconfig

Tue, 04 Aug 2026 12:33:21 +0200

net: phy: mediatek: add EcoNet EN7528 PHY supportThe EcoNet EN7528 MIPS SoC embeds four Gigabit Ethernet PHYs (PHY ID0x03a29491) behind its built-in MT7530 switch. They use the same LEDregister layout as the other SoC PHYs handled by this driver, but theirLED controller powers up with its external control disabled, so the LEDpins stay dark regardless of what is programmed into the LED controlregisters.Add a phy_driver entry for it, modelled on the Airoha AN7583 one. Itsconfig_init callback enables the LED controller through the LED basiccontrol register, which this driver does not program for its otherPHYs, but which the air_en8811h driver already handles asAIR_PHY_LED_BCR. LED behaviour is then controlled through the phylibLED operations shared with the other PHYs of this driver.The LED block is shared by the four PHYs of the EN7528: the LEDconfiguration programmed through any one of them applies to all four,while each PHY still drives its own LED pin from its own link state.The EN7528 PHYs need no efuse calibration data, so relax theMEDIATEK_GE_SOC_PHY dependencies to allow building the driver on theECONET platform.Signed-off-by: Ahmed Naseef Reviewed-by: Andrew Lunn Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260804103321.3331802-1-naseefkm@gmail.comSigned-off-by: Jakub Kicinski List of files: /linux/drivers/net/phy/mediatek/Kconfig
