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.

+i.MX7 Video Capture Driver
+==========================
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+The i.MX7 contrary to the i.MX5/6 family does not contain an Image Processing
+Unit (IPU); because of that the capabilities to perform operations or
+manipulation of the capture frames are less feature rich.
+
+For image capture the i.MX7 has three units:
+- CMOS Sensor Interface (CSI)
+- Video Multiplexer
+- MIPI CSI-2 Receiver
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ MIPI Camera Input ---> MIPI CSI-2 --- > |\
+ | \
+ | \
+ | M |
+ | U | ------> CSI ---> Capture
+ | X |
+ | /
+ Parallel Camera Input ----------------> | /
+ |/
+
+For additional information, please refer to the latest versions of the i.MX7
+reference manual [#f1]_.
+
+Entities
+--------
+
+imx-mipi-csi2
+--------------
+
+This is the MIPI CSI-2 receiver entity. It has one sink pad to receive the pixel
+data from MIPI CSI-2 camera sensor. It has one source pad, corresponding to the
+virtual channel 0. This module is compliant to previous version of Samsung
+D-phy, and supports two D-PHY Rx Data lanes.
+
+csi-mux
+-------
+
+This is the video multiplexer. It has two sink pads to select from either camera
+sensor with a parallel interface or from MIPI CSI-2 virtual channel 0. It has
+a single source pad that routes to the CSI.
+
+csi
+---
+
+The CSI enables the chip to connect directly to external CMOS image sensor. CSI
+can interface directly with Parallel and MIPI CSI-2 buses. It has 256 x 64 FIFO
+to store received image pixel data and embedded DMA controllers to transfer data
+from the FIFO through AHB bus.
+
+This entity has one sink pad that receives from the csi-mux entity and a single
+source pad that routes video frames directly to memory buffers. This pad is
+routed to a capture device node.
+
+Usage Notes
+-----------
+
+To aid in configuration and for backward compatibility with V4L2 applications
+that access controls only from video device nodes, the capture device interfaces
+inherit controls from the active entities in the current pipeline, so controls
+can be accessed either directly from the subdev or from the active capture
+device interface. For example, the sensor controls are available either from the
+sensor subdevs or from the active capture device.
+
+Warp7 with OV2680
+-----------------
+
+On this platform an OV2680 MIPI CSI-2 module is connected to the internal MIPI
+CSI-2 receiver. The following example configures a video capture pipeline with
+an output of 800x600, and BGGR 10 bit bayer format:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ # Setup links
+ media-ctl -l "'ov2680 1-0036':0 -> 'imx7-mipi-csis.0':0[1]"
+ media-ctl -l "'imx7-mipi-csis.0':1 -> 'csi-mux':1[1]"
+ media-ctl -l "'csi-mux':2 -> 'csi':0[1]"
+ media-ctl -l "'csi':1 -> 'csi capture':0[1]"
+
+ # Configure pads for pipeline
+ media-ctl -V "'ov2680 1-0036':0 [fmt:SBGGR10_1X10/800x600 field:none]"
+ media-ctl -V "'csi-mux':1 [fmt:SBGGR10_1X10/800x600 field:none]"
+ media-ctl -V "'csi-mux':2 [fmt:SBGGR10_1X10/800x600 field:none]"
+ media-ctl -V "'imx7-mipi-csis.0':0 [fmt:SBGGR10_1X10/800x600 field:none]"
+ media-ctl -V "'csi':0 [fmt:SBGGR10_1X10/800x600 field:none]"
+
+After this streaming can start. The v4l2-ctl tool can be used to select any of
+the resolutions supported by the sensor.

+i.MX6ULL-EVK with OV5640
+------------------------
+
+On this platform a parallel OV5640 sensor is connected to the CSI port.
+The following example configures a video capture pipeline with an output
+of 640x480 and UYVY8_2X8 format:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ # Setup links
