Thu, 04 Dec 2025 02:24:33 +0100

Merge tag 'net-next-6.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-nextPull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski: "Core & protocols: - Replace busylock at the Tx queuing layer with a lockless list. Resulting in a 300% (4x) improvement on heavy TX workloads, sending twice the number of packets per second, for half the cpu cycles. - Allow constantly busy flows to migrate to a more suitable CPU/NIC queue. Normally we perform queue re-selection when flow comes out of idle, but under extreme circumstances the flows may be constantly busy. Add sysctl to allow periodic rehashing even if it'd risk packet reordering. - Optimize the NAPI skb cache, make it larger, use it in more paths. - Attempt returning Tx skbs to the originating CPU (like we already did for Rx skbs). - Various data structure layout and prefetch optimizations from Eric. - Remove ktime_get() from the recvmsg() fast path, ktime_get() is sadly quite expensive on recent AMD machines. - Extend threaded NAPI polling to allow the kthread busy poll for packets. - Make MPTCP use Rx backlog processing. This lowers the lock pressure, improving the Rx performance. - Support memcg accounting of MPTCP socket memory. - Allow admin to opt sockets out of global protocol memory accounting (using a sysctl or BPF-based policy). The global limits are a poor fit for modern container workloads, where limits are imposed using cgroups. - Improve heuristics for when to kick off AF_UNIX garbage collection. - Allow users to control TCP SACK compression, and default to 33% of RTT. - Add tcp_rcvbuf_low_rtt sysctl to let datacenter users avoid unnecessarily aggressive rcvbuf growth and overshot when the connection RTT is low. - Preserve skb metadata space across skb_push / skb_pull operations. - Support for IPIP encapsulation in the nftables flowtable offload. - Support appending IP interface information to ICMP messages (RFC 5837). - Support setting max record size in TLS (RFC 8449). - Remove taking rtnl_lock from RTM_GETNEIGHTBL and RTM_SETNEIGHTBL. - Use a dedicated lock (and RCU) in MPLS, instead of rtnl_lock. - Let users configure the number of write buffers in SMC. - Add new struct sockaddr_unsized for sockaddr of unknown length, from Kees. - Some conversions away from the crypto_ahash API, from Eric Biggers. - Some preparations for slimming down struct page. - YAML Netlink protocol spec for WireGuard. - Add a tool on top of YAML Netlink specs/lib for reporting commonly computed derived statistics and summarized system state. Driver API: - Add CAN XL support to the CAN Netlink interface. - Add uAPI for reporting PHY Mean Square Error (MSE) diagnostics, as defined by the OPEN Alliance's "Advanced diagnostic features for 100BASE-T1 automotive Ethernet PHYs" specification. - Add DPLL phase-adjust-gran pin attribute (and implement it in zl3073x). - Refactor xfrm_input lock to reduce contention when NIC offloads IPsec and performs RSS. - Add info to devlink params whether the current setting is the default or a user override. Allow resetting back to default. - Add standard device stats for PSP crypto offload. - Leverage DSA frame broadcast to implement simple HSR frame duplication for a lot of switches without dedicated HSR offload. - Add uAPI defines for 1.6Tbps link modes. Device drivers: - Add Motorcomm YT921x gigabit Ethernet switch support. - Add MUCSE driver for N500/N210 1GbE NIC series. - Convert drivers to support dedicated ops for timestamping control, and away from the direct IOCTL handling. While at it support GET operations for PHY timestamping. - Add (and convert most drivers to) a dedicated ethtool callback for reading the Rx ring count. - Significant refactoring efforts in the STMMAC driver, which supports Synopsys turn-key MAC IP integrated into a ton of SoCs. - Ethernet high-speed NICs: - Broadcom (bnxt): - support PPS in/out on all pins - Intel (100G, ice, idpf): - ice: implement standard ethtool and timestamping stats - i40e: support setting the max number of MAC addresses per VF - iavf: support RSS of GTP tunnels for 5G and LTE deployments - nVidia/Mellanox (mlx5): - reduce downtime on interface reconfiguration - disable being an XDP redirect target by default (same as other drivers) to avoid wasting resources if feature is unused - Meta (fbnic): - add support for Linux-managed PCS on 25G, 50G, and 100G links - Wangxun: - support Rx descriptor merge, and Tx head writeback - support Rx coalescing offload - support 25G SPF and 40G QSFP modules - Ethernet virtual: - Google (gve): - allow ethtool to configure rx_buf_len - implement XDP HW RX Timestamping support for DQ descriptor format - Microsoft vNIC (mana): - support HW link state events - handle hardware recovery events when probing the device - Ethernet NICs consumer, and embedded: - usbnet: add support for Byte Queue Limits (BQL) - AMD (amd-xgbe): - add device selftests - NXP (enetc): - add i.MX94 support - Broadcom integrated MACs (bcmgenet, bcmasp): - bcmasp: add support for PHY-based Wake-on-LAN - Broadcom switches (b53): - support port isolation - support BCM5389/97/98 and BCM63XX ARL formats - Lantiq/MaxLinear switches: - support bridge FDB entries on the CPU port - use regmap for register access - allow user to enable/disable learning - support Energy Efficient Ethernet - support configuring RMII clock delays -
