        <description>Merge tag &apos;v7.2-rc1&apos; into drm-rust-nextMerge v7.2-rc1 into drm-rust-next to start the next cycle.Devres now requires T: &apos;static, which conflicts with shmem::Object usingDevres&lt;SGTableMap&lt;T, C&gt;&gt; without that bound. Resolve by adding &apos;staticas a supertrait to DriverObject and DeviceContext, which does notrestrict any current use cases since DriverObject is always implementedon owned, refcounted types and DeviceContext is a sealed marker traitwith only unit-type implementors.If DriverObject (or DeviceContext) ever becomes lifetime-parameterized(e.g. via a GAT for TTM backed objects), the &apos;static supertrait can berelaxed at that point.Signed-off-by: Danilo Krummrich &lt;dakr@kernel.org&gt;

        <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>selftests: drv-net: so_txtime: only send test traffic to sch_etfThe ETF qdiscs drops traffic without a socket or txtime. Even withparameter skip_sock_check regular traffic is affected by ETF.This test ran fine when run manually in a pure software environment.But with drv-net across two hosts tests fail as early as when callingcfg.remote.deploy due to effectively losing connectivity.Isolate the intended test traffic:- mark that with SO_MARK 100- install a regular permissive root prio qdisc for background traffic- install the ETF qdisc as leaf- install a filter that only directs SO_MARK 100 traffic to this leafTechnically other high prio traffic will map onto this leaf based onToS band mapping too. But that is immaterial in practice.Fixes: 5c6baef3885c (&quot;selftests: drv-net: convert so_txtime to drv-net&quot;)Signed-off-by: Willem de Bruijn &lt;willemb@google.com&gt;Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260808160129.890119-1-willemdebruijn.kernel@gmail.comSigned-off-by: Jakub Kicinski &lt;kuba@kernel.org&gt;

        <link>http://kernelsources.org:8080/source/history/linux/tools/testing/selftests/drivers/net/config#c98610c2eb7002436f6fca55b21c63200644549a</link>
        <description>selftests: drv-net: Test queue stall upon reconfigAdd a reconfig_tx_stall test that detects the possibility of a TX stallafter ring reconfiguration. The key observation is that drivers usingnetif_tx_start_all_queues() are prone to experiencing a stall whenreconfiguration completes compared to drivers usingnetif_tx_wake_all_queues(). start_all_queues only clears DRV_XOFF, whilewake_all_queues also calls __netif_schedule() to kick the qdisc. Withoutthe kick, qdisc backlog present at reconfig time can stay stuck until anew trigger is issued.The test caps the TX ring at 64 entries so it fills quickly, theninstalls FQ on a target TX queue and sends UDP packets with SO_TXTIMEscheduled in the future. With napi_defer_hard_irqs slowing completions,the small ring can fill when FQ releases the burst, leaving requeuedqdisc backlog with no FQ timer to rescue it. A subsequent ring reconfigmust wake the queues to drain the backlog. Simply starting the queues canleave it stuck.Some drivers lack backpressure on the TX path and may not be able tobuild up the qdisc backlog the test relies on. In that case report anexpected failure (xfail) instead of a hard failure.Testing on some of the existing drivers: Driver-A does not have the bug,Driver-B has the bug, Driver-C had the bug but it is fixed now.Driver-A:./drivers/net/ring_reconfig.py -t reconfig_tx_stallTAP version 131..1 Sent 1024 SO_TXTIME packets (+100ms) Backlog before reconfig: 1176378 bytesok 1 ring_reconfig.reconfig_tx_stall Totals: pass:1 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0Driver-B:TAP version 131..1 Sent 128 SO_TXTIME packets (+100ms) Sent 128 SO_TXTIME packets (+200ms) Backlog before reconfig: 148372 bytes Check| At ./drivers/net/ring_reconfig.py, line 397, in reconfig_tx_stall: Check|     ksft_eq(0, backlog, Check failed 0 != 148372 qdisc backlog stuck on queue 1 after ring ....not ok 1 ring_reconfig.reconfig_tx_stall Totals: pass:0 fail:1 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0Driver-C:TAP version 131..1 Sent 128 SO_TXTIME packets (+100ms) Backlog before reconfig: 192278 bytesok 1 ring_reconfig.reconfig_tx_stall Totals: pass:1 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0Signed-off-by: Mohsin Bashir &lt;hmohsin@meta.com&gt;Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260731021543.1058526-1-mohsin.bashr@gmail.comSigned-off-by: Jakub Kicinski &lt;kuba@kernel.org&gt;
