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.

     kprobes/uprobes and syscall as a special case.

   - Significantly reduce the search time for module symbols by
     livepatch and BPF.

   - Enable cpumasks to be used as kptrs, which is useful for tracing
     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 __bpf_kfunc tag for marking kernel functions as kfuncs.

   - 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.

   - Support for MAC Merge layer (IEEE 802.3-2018 clause 99). Allowing
     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.

+Thin provisioning
+=================
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+This document describes a collection of device-mapper targets that
+between them implement thin-provisioning and snapshots.
+
+The main highlight of this implementation, compared to the previous
+implementation of snapshots, is that it allows many virtual devices to
+be stored on the same data volume.  This simplifies administration and
+allows the sharing of data between volumes, thus reducing disk usage.
+
+Another significant feature is support for an arbitrary depth of
+recursive snapshots (snapshots of snapshots of snapshots ...).  The
+previous implementation of snapshots did this by chaining together
+lookup tables, and so performance was O(depth).  This new
+implementation uses a single data structure to avoid this degradation
+with depth.  Fragmentation may still be an issue, however, in some
+scenarios.
+
+Metadata is stored on a separate device from data, giving the
+administrator some freedom, for example to:
+
+- Improve metadata resilience by storing metadata on a mirrored volume
+  but data on a non-mirrored one.
+
+- Improve performance by storing the metadata on SSD.
+
+Status
+======
+
+These targets are considered safe for production use.  But different use
+cases will have different performance characteristics, for example due
+to fragmentation of the data volume.
+
+If you find this software is not performing as expected please mail
+dm-devel@redhat.com with details and we'll try our best to improve
+things for you.
+
+Userspace tools for checking and repairing the metadata have been fully
+developed and are available as 'thin_check' and 'thin_repair'.  The name
+of the package that provides these utilities varies by distribution (on
+a Red Hat distribution it is named 'device-mapper-persistent-data').
+
+Cookbook
+========
+
+This section describes some quick recipes for using thin provisioning.
+They use the dmsetup program to control the device-mapper driver
+directly.  End users will be advised to use a higher-level volume
+manager such as LVM2 once support has been added.
+
+Pool device
+-----------
+
+The pool device ties together the metadata volume and the data volume.
+It maps I/O linearly to the data volume and updates the metadata via
+two mechanisms:
+
+- Function calls from the thin targets
+
+- Device-mapper 'messages' from userspace which control the creation of new
+  virtual devices amongst other things.
+
+Setting up a fresh pool device
+------------------------------
+
+Setting up a pool device requires a valid metadata device, and a
+data device.  If you do not have an existing metadata device you can
+make one by zeroing the first 4k to indicate empty metadata.
+
+    dd if=/dev/zero of=$metadata_dev bs=4096 count=1
+
+The amount of metadata you need will vary according to how many blocks
+are shared between thin devices (i.e. through snapshots).  If you have
+less sharing than average you'll need a larger-than-average metadata device.
+
+As a guide, we suggest you calculate the number of bytes to use in the
+metadata device as 48 * $data_dev_size / $data_block_size but round it up
+to 2MB if the answer is smaller.  If you're creating large numbers of
+snapshots which are recording large amounts of change, you may find you
+need to increase this.
+
+The largest size supported is 16GB: If the device is larger,
+a warning will be issued and the excess space will not be used.
+
+Reloading a pool table
+----------------------
+
+You may reload a pool's table, indeed this is how the pool is resized
+if it runs out of space.  (N.B. While specifying a different metadata
+device when reloading is not forbidden at the moment, things will go
+wrong if it does not route I/O to exactly the same on-disk location as
+previously.)
+
+Using an existing pool device
+-----------------------------
+
+::
+
+    dmsetup create pool \
+	--table "0 20971520 thin-pool $metadata_dev $data_dev \
+		 $data_block_size $low_water_mark"
+
+$data_block_size gives the smallest unit of disk space that can be
+allocated at a time expressed in units of 512-byte sectors.
+$data_block_size must be between 128 (64KB) and 2097152 (1GB) and a
+multiple of 128 (64KB).  $data_block_size cannot be changed after the
+thin-pool is created.  People primarily interested in thin provisioning
+may want to use a value such as 1024 (512KB).  People doing lots of
+snapshotting may want a smaller value such as 128 (64KB).  If you are
+not zeroing newly-allocated data, a larger $data_block_size in the
+region of 256000 (128MB) is suggested.
+
+$low_water_mark is expressed in blocks of size $data_block_size.  If
+free space on the data device drops below this level then a dm event
+will be triggered which a userspace daemon should catch allowing it to
+extend the pool device.  Only one such event will be sent.
+
+No special event is triggered if a just resumed device's free space is below
+the low water mark. However, resuming a device always triggers an
+event; a userspace daemon should verify that free space exceeds the low
+water mark when handling this event.
+
+A low water mark for the metadata device is maintained in the kernel and
+will trigger a dm event if free space on the metadata device drops below
+it.
+
+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 thin-provisioning target 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.
+
+If data space is exhausted the pool will either error or queue IO
+according to the configuration (see: error_if_no_space).  If metadata
+space is exhausted or a metadata operation fails: the pool will error IO
+until the pool is taken offline and repair is performed to 1) fix any
+potential inconsistencies and 2) clear the flag that imposes repair.
+Once the pool's metadata device is repaired it may be resized, which
+will allow the pool to return to normal operation.  Note that if a pool
+is flagged as needing repair, the pool's data and metadata devices
+cannot be resized until repair is performed.  It should also be noted
+that when the pool's metadata space is exhausted the current metadata
+transaction is aborted.  Given that the pool will cache IO whose
+completion may have already been acknowledged to upper IO layers
+(e.g. filesystem) it is strongly suggested that consistency checks
+(e.g. fsck) be performed on those layers when repair of the pool is
+required.
+
+Thin provisioning
+-----------------
+
+i) Creating a new thinly-provisioned volume.
+
+  To create a new thinly- provisioned volume you must send a message to an
+  active pool device, /dev/mapper/pool in this example::
+
+    dmsetup message /dev/mapper/pool 0 "create_thin 0"
+
+  Here '0' is an identifier for the volume, a 24-bit number.  It's up
+  to the caller to allocate and manage these identifiers.  If the
+  identifier is already in use, the message will fail with -EEXIST.
+
+ii) Using a thinly-provisioned volume.
+
+  Thinly-provisioned volumes are activated using the 'thin' target::
+
+    dmsetup create thin --table "0 2097152 thin /dev/mapper/pool 0"
+
+  The last parameter is the identifier for the thinp device.
+
+Internal snapshots
+------------------
+
+i) Creating an internal snapshot.
+
+  Snapshots are created with another message to the pool.
+
+  N.B.  If the origin device that you wish to snapshot is active, you
+  must suspend it before creating the snapshot to avoid corruption.
+  This is NOT enforced at the moment, so please be careful!
+
+  ::
+
+    dmsetup suspend /dev/mapper/thin
+    dmsetup message /dev/mapper/pool 0 "create_snap 1 0"
+    dmsetup resume /dev/mapper/thin
+
+  Here '1' is the identifier for the volume, a 24-bit number.  '0' is the
+  identifier for the origin device.
+
+ii) Using an internal snapshot.
+
+  Once created, the user doesn't have to worry about any connection
+  between the origin and the snapshot.  Indeed the snapshot is no
+  different from any other thinly-provisioned device and can be
+  snapshotted itself via the same method.  It's perfectly legal to
+  have only one of them active, and there's no ordering requirement on
+  activating or removing them both.  (This differs from conventional
+  device-mapper snapshots.)
+
+  Activate it exactly the same way as any other thinly-provisioned volume::
+
+    dmsetup create snap --table "0 2097152 thin /dev/mapper/pool 1"
+
+External snapshots
+------------------
+
+You can use an external **read only** device as an origin for a
+thinly-provisioned volume.  Any read to an unprovisioned area of the
+thin device will be passed through to the origin.  Writes trigger
+the allocation of new blocks as usual.
+
+One use case for this is VM hosts that want to run guests on
+thinly-provisioned volumes but have the base image on another device
+(possibly shared between many VMs).
+
+You must not write to the origin device if you use this technique!
+Of course, you may write to the thin device and take internal snapshots
+of the thin volume.
+
+i) Creating a snapshot of an external device
+
+  This is the same as creating a thin device.
+  You don't mention the origin at this stage.
+
+  ::
+
+    dmsetup message /dev/mapper/pool 0 "create_thin 0"
+
+ii) Using a snapshot of an external device.
+
+  Append an extra parameter to the thin target specifying the origin::
+
+    dmsetup create snap --table "0 2097152 thin /dev/mapper/pool 0 /dev/image"
+
+  N.B. All descendants (internal snapshots) of this snapshot require the
+  same extra origin parameter.
+
+Deactivation
+------------
+
+All devices using a pool must be deactivated before the pool itself
+can be.
+
+::
+
+    dmsetup remove thin
+    dmsetup remove snap
+    dmsetup remove pool
+
+Reference
+=========
+
+'thin-pool' target
+------------------
+
+i) Constructor
+
+    ::
+
+      thin-pool <metadata dev> <data dev> <data block size (sectors)> \
+	        <low water mark (blocks)> [<number of feature args> [<arg>]*]
+
+    Optional feature arguments:
+
+      skip_block_zeroing:
+	Skip the zeroing of newly-provisioned blocks.
+
+      ignore_discard:
+	Disable discard support.
+
+      no_discard_passdown:
+	Don't pass discards down to the underlying
+	data device, but just remove the mapping.
+
+      read_only:
+		 Don't allow any changes to be made to the pool
+		 metadata.  This mode is only available after the
+		 thin-pool has been created and first used in full
+		 read/write mode.  It cannot be specified on initial
+		 thin-pool creation.
+
+      error_if_no_space:
+	Error IOs, instead of queueing, if no space.
+
+    Data block size must be between 64KB (128 sectors) and 1GB
+    (2097152 sectors) inclusive.
+
+
+ii) Status
+
+    ::
+
+      <transaction id> <used metadata blocks>/<total metadata blocks>
+      <used data blocks>/<total data blocks> <held metadata root>
+      ro|rw|out_of_data_space [no_]discard_passdown [error|queue]_if_no_space
+      needs_check|- metadata_low_watermark
+
+    transaction id:
+	A 64-bit number used by userspace to help synchronise with metadata
+	from volume managers.
+
+    used data blocks / total data blocks
+	If the number of free blocks drops below the pool's low water mark a
+	dm event will be sent to userspace.  This event is edge-triggered and
+	it will occur only once after each resume so volume manager writers
+	should register for the event and then check the target's status.
+
+    held metadata root:
+	The location, in blocks, of the metadata root that has been
+	'held' for userspace read access.  '-' indicates there is no
+	held root.
+
+    discard_passdown|no_discard_passdown
+	Whether or not discards are actually being passed down to the
+	underlying device.  When this is enabled when loading the table,
+	it can get disabled if the underlying device doesn't support it.
+
+    ro|rw|out_of_data_space
+	If the pool encounters certain types of device failures it will
+	drop into a read-only metadata mode in which no changes to
+	the pool metadata (like allocating new blocks) are permitted.
+
+	In serious cases where even a read-only mode is deemed unsafe
+	no further I/O will be permitted and the status will just
+	contain the string 'Fail'.  The userspace recovery tools
+	should then be used.
+
+    error_if_no_space|queue_if_no_space
+	If the pool runs out of data or metadata space, the pool will
+	either queue or error the IO destined to the data device.  The
+	default is to queue the IO until more space is added or the
+	'no_space_timeout' expires.  The 'no_space_timeout' dm-thin-pool
+	module parameter can be used to change this timeout -- it
+	defaults to 60 seconds but may be disabled using a value of 0.
+
+    needs_check
+	A metadata operation has failed, resulting in the needs_check
+	flag being set in the metadata's superblock.  The metadata
+	device must be deactivated and checked/repaired before the
+	thin-pool can be made fully operational again.  '-' indicates
+	needs_check is not set.
+
+    metadata_low_watermark:
+	Value of metadata low watermark in blocks.  The kernel sets this
+	value internally but userspace needs to know this value to
+	determine if an event was caused by crossing this threshold.
+
+iii) Messages
+
+    create_thin <dev id>
+	Create a new thinly-provisioned device.
+	<dev id> is an arbitrary unique 24-bit identifier chosen by
+	the caller.
+
+    create_snap <dev id> <origin id>
+	Create a new snapshot of another thinly-provisioned device.
+	<dev id> is an arbitrary unique 24-bit identifier chosen by
+	the caller.
+	<origin id> is the identifier of the thinly-provisioned device
+	of which the new device will be a snapshot.
+
+    delete <dev id>
+	Deletes a thin device.  Irreversible.
+
+    set_transaction_id <current id> <new id>
+	Userland volume managers, such as LVM, need a way to
+	synchronise their external metadata with the internal metadata of the
+	pool target.  The thin-pool target offers to store an
+	arbitrary 64-bit transaction id and return it on the target's
+	status line.  To avoid races you must provide what you think
+	the current transaction id is when you change it with this
+	compare-and-swap message.
+
+    reserve_metadata_snap
+        Reserve a copy of the data mapping btree for use by userland.
+        This allows userland to inspect the mappings as they were when
+        this message was executed.  Use the pool's status command to
+        get the root block associated with the metadata snapshot.
+
+    release_metadata_snap
+        Release a previously reserved copy of the data mapping btree.

+'thin' target
+-------------
+
+i) Constructor
+
+    ::
+
+        thin <pool dev> <dev id> [<external origin dev>]
+
+    pool dev:
+	the thin-pool device, e.g. /dev/mapper/my_pool or 253:0
+
+    dev id:
+	the internal device identifier of the device to be
+	activated.
+
+    external origin dev:
+	an optional block device outside the pool to be treated as a
+	read-only snapshot origin: reads to unprovisioned areas of the
+	thin target will be mapped to this device.
+
+The pool doesn't store any size against the thin devices.  If you
+load a thin target that is smaller than you've been using previously,
+then you'll have no access to blocks mapped beyond the end.  If you
+load a target that is bigger than before, then extra blocks will be
+provisioned as and when needed.
+
+ii) Status
+
+    <nr mapped sectors> <highest mapped sector>
+	If the pool has encountered device errors and failed, the status
+	will just contain the string 'Fail'.  The userspace recovery
+	tools should then be used.
+
+    In the case where <nr mapped sectors> is 0, there is no highest
+    mapped sector and the value of <highest mapped sector> is unspecified.
