Merge tag 'net-next-6.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-nextgrafted
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. - Remove the need for trace_printk_lock for bpf_trace_printk and bpf_trace_vprintk helpers. - Extend libbpf's bpf_tracing.h support for tracing arguments of 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. New hardware / drivers: - Ethernet: - nVidia BlueField-3 support (control traffic driver) - Ethernet support for imx93 SoCs - Motorcomm yt8531 gigabit Ethernet PHY - onsemi NCN26000 10BASE-T1S PHY (with support for PLCA) - Microchip LAN8841 PHY (incl. cable diagnostics and PTP) - Amlogic gxl MDIO mux - WiFi: - RealTek RTL8188EU (rtl8xxxu) - Qualcomm Wi-Fi 7 devices (ath12k) - CAN: - Renesas R-Car V4H Drivers: - Bluetooth: - Set Per Platform Antenna Gain (PPAG) for Intel controllers. - Ethernet NICs: - Intel (1G, igc): - support TSN / Qbv / packet scheduling features of i226 model - Intel (100G, ice): - use GNSS subsystem instead of TTY - multi-buffer XDP support - extend support for GPIO pins to E823 devices - nVidia/Mellanox: - update the shared buffer configuration on PFC commands - implement PTP adjphase function for HW offset control - TC support for Geneve and GRE with VF tunnel offload - more efficient crypto key management method - multi-port eswitch support - Netronome/Corigine: - add DCB IEEE support - support IPsec offloading for NFP3800 - Freescale/NXP (enetc): - support XDP_REDIRECT for XDP non-linear buffers - improve reconfig, avoid link flap and waiting for idle - support MAC Merge layer - Other NICs: - sfc/ef100: add basic devlink support for ef100 - ionic: rx_push mode operation (writing descriptors via MMIO) - bnxt: use the auxiliary bus abstraction for RDMA - r8169: disable ASPM and reset bus in case of tx timeout - cpsw: support QSGMII mode for J721e CPSW9G - cpts: support pulse-per-second output - ngbe: add an mdio bus driver - usbnet: optimize usbnet_bh() by avoiding unnecessary queuing - r8152: handle devices with FW with NCM support - amd-xgbe: support 10Mbps, 2.5GbE speeds and rx-adaptation - virtio-net: support multi buffer XDP - virtio/vsock: replace virtio_vsock_pkt with sk_buff - tsnep: XDP support - Ethernet high-speed switches: - nVidia/Mellanox (mlxsw): - add support for latency TLV (in FW control messages) - Microchip (sparx5): - separate explicit and implicit traffic forwarding rules, make the implicit rules always active - add support for egress DSCP rewrite - IS0 VCAP support (Ingress Classification) - IS2 VCAP filters (protos, L3 addrs, L4 ports, flags, ToS etc.) - ES2 VCAP support (Egress Access Control) - support for Per-Stream Filtering and Policing (802.1Q, 8.6.5.1) - Ethernet embedded switches: - Marvell (mv88e6xxx): - add MAB (port auth) offload support - enable PTP receive for mv88e6390 - NXP (ocelot): - support MAC Merge layer - support for the the vsc7512 internal copper phys - Microchip: - lan9303: convert to PHYLINK - lan966x: support TC flower filter statistics - lan937x: PTP support for KSZ9563/KSZ8563 and LAN937x - lan937x: support Credit Based Shaper configuration - ksz9477: support Energy Efficient Ethernet - other: - qca8k: convert to regmap read/write API, use bulk operations - rswitch: Improve TX timestamp accuracy - Intel WiFi (iwlwifi): - EHT (Wi-Fi 7) rate reporting - STEP equalizer support: transfer some STEP (connection to radio on platforms with integrated wifi) related parameters from the BIOS to the firmware. - Qualcomm 802.11ax WiFi (ath11k): - IPQ5018 support - Fine Timing Measurement (FTM) responder role support - channel 177 support - MediaTek WiFi (mt76): - per-PHY LED support - mt7996: EHT (Wi-Fi 7) support - Wireless Ethernet Dispatch (WED) reset support - switch to using page pool allocator - RealTek WiFi (rtw89): - support new version of Bluetooth co-existance - Mobile: - rmnet: support TX aggregation" * tag 'net-next-6.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next: (1872 commits) page_pool: add a comment explaining the fragment counter usage net: ethtool: fix __ethtool_dev_mm_supported() implementation ethtool: pse-pd: Fix double word in comments xsk: add linux/vmalloc.h to xsk.c sefltests: netdevsim: wait for devlink instance after netns removal selftest: fib_tests: Always cleanup before exit net/mlx5e: Align IPsec ASO result memory to be as required by hardware net/mlx5e: TC, Set CT miss to the specific ct action instance net/mlx5e: Rename CHAIN_TO_REG to MAPPED_OBJ_TO_REG net/mlx5: Refactor tc miss handling to a single function net/mlx5: Kconfig: Make tc offload depend on tc skb extension net/sched: flower: Support hardware miss to tc action net/sched: flower: Move filter handle initialization earlier net/sched: cls_api: Support hardware miss to tc action net/sched: Rename user cookie and act cookie sfc: fix builds without CONFIG_RTC_LIB sfc: clean up some inconsistent indentings net/mlx4_en: Introduce flexible array to silence overflow warning net: lan966x: Fix possible deadlock inside PTP net/ulp: Remove redundant ->clone() test in inet_clone_ulp(). ...

+==================================
+How to get the bt8xx cards working
+==================================
+
+Authors:
+ Richard Walker,
+ Jamie Honan,
+ Michael Hunold,
+ Manu Abraham,
+ Uwe Bugla,
+ Michael Krufky
+
+General information
+-------------------
+
+This class of cards has a bt878a as the PCI interface, and require the bttv
+driver for accessing the i2c bus and the gpio pins of the bt8xx chipset.
+
+Please see Documentation/admin-guide/media/bttv-cardlist.rst for a complete
+list of Cards based on the Conexant Bt8xx PCI bridge supported by the
+Linux Kernel.
+
+In order to be able to compile the kernel, some config options should be
+enabled::
+
+ ./scripts/config -e PCI
+ ./scripts/config -e INPUT
+ ./scripts/config -m I2C
+ ./scripts/config -m MEDIA_SUPPORT
+ ./scripts/config -e MEDIA_PCI_SUPPORT
+ ./scripts/config -e MEDIA_ANALOG_TV_SUPPORT
+ ./scripts/config -e MEDIA_DIGITAL_TV_SUPPORT
+ ./scripts/config -e MEDIA_RADIO_SUPPORT
+ ./scripts/config -e RC_CORE
+ ./scripts/config -m VIDEO_BT848
+ ./scripts/config -m DVB_BT8XX
+
+If you want to automatically support all possible variants of the Bt8xx
+cards, you should also do::
+
+ ./scripts/config -e MEDIA_SUBDRV_AUTOSELECT
+
+.. note::
+
+ Please use the following options with care as deselection of drivers which
+ are in fact necessary may result in DVB devices that cannot be tuned due
+ to lack of driver support.
+
+If your goal is to just support an specific board, you may, instead,
+disable MEDIA_SUBDRV_AUTOSELECT and manually select the frontend drivers
+required by your board. With that, you can save some RAM.
+
+You can do that by calling make xconfig/qconfig/menuconfig and look at
+the options on those menu options (only enabled if
+``Autoselect ancillary drivers`` is disabled:
+
+#) ``Device drivers`` => ``Multimedia support`` => ``Customize TV tuners``
+#) ``Device drivers`` => ``Multimedia support`` => ``Customize DVB frontends``
+
+Then, on each of the above menu, please select your card-specific
+frontend and tuner modules.
+
+
+Loading Modules
+---------------
+
+Regular case: If the bttv driver detects a bt8xx-based DVB card, all
+frontend and backend modules will be loaded automatically.
+
+Exceptions are:
+
+- Old TV cards without EEPROMs, sharing a common PCI subsystem ID;
+- Old TwinHan DST cards or clones with or without CA slot and not
+ containing an Eeprom.
+
+In the following cases overriding the PCI type detection for bttv and
+for dvb-bt8xx drivers by passing modprobe parameters may be necessary.
+
+Running TwinHan and Clones
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+As shown at Documentation/admin-guide/media/bttv-cardlist.rst, TwinHan and
+clones use ``card=113`` modprobe parameter. So, in order to properly
+detect it for devices without EEPROM, you should use::
+
+ $ modprobe bttv card=113
+ $ modprobe dst
+
+Useful parameters for verbosity level and debugging the dst module::
+
+ verbose=0: messages are disabled
+ 1: only error messages are displayed
+ 2: notifications are displayed
+ 3: other useful messages are displayed
+ 4: debug setting
+ dst_addons=0: card is a free to air (FTA) card only
+ 0x20: card has a conditional access slot for scrambled channels
+ dst_algo=0: (default) Software tuning algorithm
+ 1: Hardware tuning algorithm
+
+
+The autodetected values are determined by the cards' "response string".
+
+In your logs see f. ex.: dst_get_device_id: Recognize [DSTMCI].
+
+For bug reports please send in a complete log with verbose=4 activated.
+Please also see Documentation/admin-guide/media/ci.rst.
+
+Running multiple cards
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+See Documentation/admin-guide/media/bttv-cardlist.rst for a complete list of
+Card ID. Some examples:
+
+ =========================== ===
+ Brand name ID
+ =========================== ===
+ Pinnacle PCTV Sat 94
+ Nebula Electronics Digi TV 104
+ pcHDTV HD-2000 TV 112
+ Twinhan DST and clones 113
+ Avermedia AverTV DVB-T 77: 123
+ Avermedia AverTV DVB-T 761 124
+ DViCO FusionHDTV DVB-T Lite 128
+ DViCO FusionHDTV 5 Lite 135
+ =========================== ===
+
+.. note::
+
+ When you have multiple cards, the order of the card ID should
+ match the order where they're detected by the system. Please notice
+ that removing/inserting other PCI cards may change the detection
+ order.
+
+Example::
+
+ $ modprobe bttv card=113 card=135
+
+In case of further problems please subscribe and send questions to
+the mailing list: linux-media@vger.kernel.org.
+
+Probing the cards with broken PCI subsystem ID
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+There are some TwinHan cards whose EEPROM has become corrupted for some
+reason. The cards do not have a correct PCI subsystem ID.
+Still, it is possible to force probing the cards with::
+
+ $ echo 109e 0878 $subvendor $subdevice > \
+ /sys/bus/pci/drivers/bt878/new_id
+
+The two numbers there are::
+
+ 109e: PCI_VENDOR_ID_BROOKTREE
+ 0878: PCI_DEVICE_ID_BROOKTREE_878
