Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core:

   - Add dedicated kmem_cache for typical/small skb->head, avoid having
     to access struct page at kfree time, and improve memory use.

   - Introduce sysctl to set default RPS configuration for new netdevs.

   - Define Netlink protocol specification format which can be used to
     describe messages used by each family and auto-generate parsers.
     Add tools for generating kernel data structures and uAPI headers.

   - Expose all net/core sysctls inside netns.

   - Remove 4s sleep in netpoll if carrier is instantly detected on
     boot.

   - Add configurable limit of MDB entries per port, and port-vlan.

   - Continue populating drop reasons throughout the stack.

   - Retire a handful of legacy Qdiscs and classifiers.

  Protocols:

   - Support IPv4 big TCP (TSO frames larger than 64kB).

   - Add IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE socket option, to control local port range
     on socket by socket basis.

   - Track and report in procfs number of MPTCP sockets used.

   - Support mixing IPv4 and IPv6 flows in the in-kernel MPTCP path
     manager.

   - IPv6: don't check net.ipv6.route.max_size and rely on garbage
     collection to free memory (similarly to IPv4).

   - Support Penultimate Segment Pop (PSP) flavor in SRv6 (RFC8986).

   - ICMP: add per-rate limit counters.

   - Add support for user scanning requests in ieee802154.

   - Remove static WEP support.

   - Support minimal Wi-Fi 7 Extremely High Throughput (EHT) rate
     reporting.

   - WiFi 7 EHT channel puncturing support (client & AP).

  BPF:

   - Add a rbtree data structure following the "next-gen data structure"
     precedent set by recently added linked list, that is, by using
     kfunc + kptr instead of adding a new BPF map type.

   - Expose XDP hints via kfuncs with initial support for RX hash and
     timestamp metadata.

   - Add BPF_F_NO_TUNNEL_KEY extension to bpf_skb_set_tunnel_key to
     better support decap on GRE tunnel devices not operating in collect
     metadata.

   - Improve x86 JIT's codegen for PROBE_MEM runtime error checks.

     programs tracking which tasks end up running on which CPUs in
     different time intervals.

   - Add support for BPF trampoline on s390x and riscv64.

   - Add capability to export the XDP features supported by the NIC.

   - Add cgroup.memory=nobpf kernel parameter option to disable BPF
     memory accounting for container environments.

  Netfilter:

   - Remove the CLUSTERIP target. It has been marked as obsolete for
     years, and we still have WARN splats wrt races of the out-of-band
     /proc interface installed by this target.

   - Add 'destroy' commands to nf_tables. They are identical to the
     existing 'delete' commands, but do not return an error if the
     referenced object (set, chain, rule...) did not exist.

  Driver API:

   - Improve cpumask_local_spread() locality to help NICs set the right
     IRQ affinity on AMD platforms.

   - Separate C22 and C45 MDIO bus transactions more clearly.

   - Introduce new DCB table to control DSCP rewrite on egress.

   - Support configuration of Physical Layer Collision Avoidance (PLCA)
     Reconciliation Sublayer (RS) (802.3cg-2019). Modern version of
     shared medium Ethernet.

     preemption of low priority frames by high priority frames.

   - Add support for controlling MACSec offload using netlink SET.

   - Rework devlink instance refcounts to allow registration and
     de-registration under the instance lock. Split the code into
     multiple files, drop some of the unnecessarily granular locks and
     factor out common parts of netlink operation handling.

   - Add TX frame aggregation parameters (for USB drivers).

   - Add a new attr TCA_EXT_WARN_MSG to report TC (offload) warning
     messages with notifications for debug.

   - Allow offloading of UDP NEW connections via act_ct.

   - Add support for per action HW stats in TC.

   - Support hardware miss to TC action (continue processing in SW from
     a specific point in the action chain).

   - Warn if old Wireless Extension user space interface is used with
     modern cfg80211/mac80211 drivers. Do not support Wireless
     Extensions for Wi-Fi 7 devices at all. Everyone should switch to
     using nl80211 interface instead.

   - Improve the CAN bit timing configuration. Use extack to return
     error messages directly to user space, update the SJW handling,
     including the definition of a new default value that will benefit
     CAN-FD controllers, by increasing their oscillator tolerance.

+Introduction
+============
+
+dm-cache is a device mapper target written by Joe Thornber, Heinz
+Mauelshagen, and Mike Snitzer.
+
+It aims to improve performance of a block device (eg, a spindle) by
+dynamically migrating some of its data to a faster, smaller device
+(eg, an SSD).
+
+This device-mapper solution allows us to insert this caching at
+different levels of the dm stack, for instance above the data device for
+a thin-provisioning pool.  Caching solutions that are integrated more
+closely with the virtual memory system should give better performance.
+
+The target reuses the metadata library used in the thin-provisioning
+library.
+
+The decision as to what data to migrate and when is left to a plug-in
+policy module.  Several of these have been written as we experiment,
+and we hope other people will contribute others for specific io
+scenarios (eg. a vm image server).
+
+Glossary
+========
+
+  Migration
+	       Movement of the primary copy of a logical block from one
+	       device to the other.
+  Promotion
+	       Migration from slow device to fast device.
+  Demotion
+	       Migration from fast device to slow device.
+
+The origin device always contains a copy of the logical block, which
+may be out of date or kept in sync with the copy on the cache device
+(depending on policy).
+
+Design
+======
+
+Sub-devices
+-----------
+
+The target is constructed by passing three devices to it (along with
+other parameters detailed later):
+
+1. An origin device - the big, slow one.
+
+2. A cache device - the small, fast one.
+
+3. A small metadata device - records which blocks are in the cache,
+   which are dirty, and extra hints for use by the policy object.
+   This information could be put on the cache device, but having it
+   separate allows the volume manager to configure it differently,
+   e.g. as a mirror for extra robustness.  This metadata device may only
+   be used by a single cache device.
+
+Fixed block size
+----------------
+
+The origin is divided up into blocks of a fixed size.  This block size
+is configurable when you first create the cache.  Typically we've been
+using block sizes of 256KB - 1024KB.  The block size must be between 64
+sectors (32KB) and 2097152 sectors (1GB) and a multiple of 64 sectors (32KB).
+
+Having a fixed block size simplifies the target a lot.  But it is
+something of a compromise.  For instance, a small part of a block may be
+getting hit a lot, yet the whole block will be promoted to the cache.
+So large block sizes are bad because they waste cache space.  And small
+block sizes are bad because they increase the amount of metadata (both
+in core and on disk).
+
+Cache operating modes
+---------------------
+
+The cache has three operating modes: writeback, writethrough and
+passthrough.
+
+If writeback, the default, is selected then a write to a block that is
+cached will go only to the cache and the block will be marked dirty in
+the metadata.
+
+If writethrough is selected then a write to a cached block will not
+complete until it has hit both the origin and cache devices.  Clean
+blocks should remain clean.
+
+If passthrough is selected, useful when the cache contents are not known
+to be coherent with the origin device, then all reads are served from
+the origin device (all reads miss the cache) and all writes are
+forwarded to the origin device; additionally, write hits cause cache
+block invalidates.  To enable passthrough mode the cache must be clean.
+Passthrough mode allows a cache device to be activated without having to
+worry about coherency.  Coherency that exists is maintained, although
+the cache will gradually cool as writes take place.  If the coherency of
+the cache can later be verified, or established through use of the
+"invalidate_cblocks" message, the cache device can be transitioned to
+writethrough or writeback mode while still warm.  Otherwise, the cache
+contents can be discarded prior to transitioning to the desired
+operating mode.
+
+A simple cleaner policy is provided, which will clean (write back) all
+dirty blocks in a cache.  Useful for decommissioning a cache or when
+shrinking a cache.  Shrinking the cache's fast device requires all cache
+blocks, in the area of the cache being removed, to be clean.  If the
+area being removed from the cache still contains dirty blocks the resize
+will fail.  Care must be taken to never reduce the volume used for the
+cache's fast device until the cache is clean.  This is of particular
+importance if writeback mode is used.  Writethrough and passthrough
+modes already maintain a clean cache.  Future support to partially clean
+the cache, above a specified threshold, will allow for keeping the cache
+warm and in writeback mode during resize.
+
+Migration throttling
+--------------------
+
+Migrating data between the origin and cache device uses bandwidth.
+The user can set a throttle to prevent more than a certain amount of
+migration occurring at any one time.  Currently we're not taking any
+account of normal io traffic going to the devices.  More work needs
+doing here to avoid migrating during those peak io moments.
+
+For the time being, a message "migration_threshold <#sectors>"
+can be used to set the maximum number of sectors being migrated,
+the default being 2048 sectors (1MB).
+
+Updating on-disk metadata
+-------------------------
+
+On-disk metadata is committed every time a FLUSH or FUA bio is written.
+If no such requests are made then commits will occur every second.  This
+means the cache behaves like a physical disk that has a volatile write
+cache.  If power is lost you may lose some recent writes.  The metadata
+should always be consistent in spite of any crash.
+
+The 'dirty' state for a cache block changes far too frequently for us
+to keep updating it on the fly.  So we treat it as a hint.  In normal
+operation it will be written when the dm device is suspended.  If the
+system crashes all cache blocks will be assumed dirty when restarted.
+
+Per-block policy hints
+----------------------
+
+Policy plug-ins can store a chunk of data per cache block.  It's up to
+the policy how big this chunk is, but it should be kept small.  Like the
+dirty flags this data is lost if there's a crash so a safe fallback
+value should always be possible.
+
+Policy hints affect performance, not correctness.
+
+Policy messaging
+----------------
+
+Policies will have different tunables, specific to each one, so we
+need a generic way of getting and setting these.  Device-mapper
+messages are used.  Refer to cache-policies.txt.
+
+Discard bitset resolution
+-------------------------
+
+We can avoid copying data during migration if we know the block has
+been discarded.  A prime example of this is when mkfs discards the
+whole block device.  We store a bitset tracking the discard state of
+blocks.  However, we allow this bitset to have a different block size
+from the cache blocks.  This is because we need to track the discard
+state for all of the origin device (compare with the dirty bitset
+which is just for the smaller cache device).
+
+Target interface
+================
+
+Constructor
+-----------
+
+  ::
+
+   cache <metadata dev> <cache dev> <origin dev> <block size>
+         <#feature args> [<feature arg>]*
+         <policy> <#policy args> [policy args]*
+
+ ================ =======================================================
+ metadata dev     fast device holding the persistent metadata
+ cache dev	  fast device holding cached data blocks
+ origin dev	  slow device holding original data blocks
+ block size       cache unit size in sectors
+
+ #feature args    number of feature arguments passed
+ feature args     writethrough or passthrough (The default is writeback.)
+
+ policy           the replacement policy to use
+ #policy args     an even number of arguments corresponding to
+                  key/value pairs passed to the policy
+ policy args      key/value pairs passed to the policy
+		  E.g. 'sequential_threshold 1024'
+		  See cache-policies.txt for details.
+ ================ =======================================================
+
+Optional feature arguments are:
+
+
+   ==================== ========================================================
+   writethrough		write through caching that prohibits cache block
+			content from being different from origin block content.
+			Without this argument, the default behaviour is to write
+			back cache block contents later for performance reasons,
+			so they may differ from the corresponding origin blocks.
+
+   passthrough		a degraded mode useful for various cache coherency
+			situations (e.g., rolling back snapshots of
+			underlying storage).	 Reads and writes always go to
+			the origin.	If a write goes to a cached origin
+			block, then the cache block is invalidated.
+			To enable passthrough mode the cache must be clean.
+
+   metadata2		use version 2 of the metadata.  This stores the dirty
+			bits in a separate btree, which improves speed of
+			shutting down the cache.
+
+   no_discard_passdown	disable passing down discards from the cache
+			to the origin's data device.
+   ==================== ========================================================
+
+A policy called 'default' is always registered.  This is an alias for
+the policy we currently think is giving best all round performance.
+
+As the default policy could vary between kernels, if you are relying on
+the characteristics of a specific policy, always request it by name.

+Messages
+--------
+
+Policies will have different tunables, specific to each one, so we
+need a generic way of getting and setting these.  Device-mapper
+messages are used.  (A sysfs interface would also be possible.)
+
+The message format is::
+
+   <key> <value>
+
+E.g.::
+
+   dmsetup message my_cache 0 sequential_threshold 1024
+
+
+Invalidation is removing an entry from the cache without writing it
+back.  Cache blocks can be invalidated via the invalidate_cblocks
+message, which takes an arbitrary number of cblock ranges.  Each cblock
+range's end value is "one past the end", meaning 5-10 expresses a range
+of values from 5 to 9.  Each cblock must be expressed as a decimal
+value, in the future a variant message that takes cblock ranges
+expressed in hexadecimal may be needed to better support efficient
+invalidation of larger caches.  The cache must be in passthrough mode
+when invalidate_cblocks is used::
+
+   invalidate_cblocks [<cblock>|<cblock begin>-<cblock end>]*
+
+E.g.::
+
+   dmsetup message my_cache 0 invalidate_cblocks 2345 3456-4567 5678-6789
+
