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(). ...

+The Silicon Labs Si470x FM Radio Receivers driver
+=================================================
+
+Copyright |copy| 2009 Tobias Lorenz <tobias.lorenz@gmx.net>
+
+
+Information from Silicon Labs
+-----------------------------
+
+Silicon Laboratories is the manufacturer of the radio ICs, that nowadays are the
+most often used radio receivers in cell phones. Usually they are connected with
+I2C. But SiLabs also provides a reference design, which integrates this IC,
+together with a small microcontroller C8051F321, to form a USB radio.
+Part of this reference design is also a radio application in binary and source
+code. The software also contains an automatic firmware upgrade to the most
+current version. Information on these can be downloaded here:
+http://www.silabs.com/usbradio
+
+
+Supported ICs
+-------------
+
+The following ICs have a very similar register set, so that they are or will be
+supported somewhen by the driver:
+
+- Si4700: FM radio receiver
+- Si4701: FM radio receiver, RDS Support
+- Si4702: FM radio receiver
+- Si4703: FM radio receiver, RDS Support
+- Si4704: FM radio receiver, no external antenna required
+- Si4705: FM radio receiver, no external antenna required, RDS support, Dig I/O
+- Si4706: Enhanced FM RDS/TMC radio receiver, no external antenna required, RDS
+ Support
+- Si4707: Dedicated weather band radio receiver with SAME decoder, RDS Support
+- Si4708: Smallest FM receivers
+- Si4709: Smallest FM receivers, RDS Support
+
+More information on these can be downloaded here:
+http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/USBFMRadioRD.aspx
+
+
+Supported USB devices
+---------------------
+
+Currently the following USB radios (vendor:product) with the Silicon Labs si470x
+chips are known to work:
+
+- 10c4:818a: Silicon Labs USB FM Radio Reference Design
+- 06e1:a155: ADS/Tech FM Radio Receiver (formerly Instant FM Music) (RDX-155-EF)
+- 1b80:d700: KWorld USB FM Radio SnapMusic Mobile 700 (FM700)
+- 10c5:819a: Sanei Electric, Inc. FM USB Radio (sold as DealExtreme.com PCear)
+
+
+Software
+--------
+
+Testing is usually done with most application under Debian/testing:
+
+- fmtools - Utility for managing FM tuner cards
+- gnomeradio - FM-radio tuner for the GNOME desktop
+- gradio - GTK FM radio tuner
+- kradio - Comfortable Radio Application for KDE
+- radio - ncurses-based radio application
+- mplayer - The Ultimate Movie Player For Linux
+- v4l2-ctl - Collection of command line video4linux utilities
+
+For example, you can use:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ v4l2-ctl -d /dev/radio0 --set-ctrl=volume=10,mute=0 --set-freq=95.21 --all
+
+There is also a library libv4l, which can be used. It's going to have a function
+for frequency seeking, either by using hardware functionality as in radio-si470x
+or by implementing a function as we currently have in every of the mentioned
+programs. Somewhen the radio programs should make use of libv4l.
+
+For processing RDS information, there is a project ongoing at:
+http://rdsd.berlios.de/
+
+There is currently no project for making TMC sentences human readable.
+
+
+Audio Listing
+-------------
+
+USB Audio is provided by the ALSA snd_usb_audio module. It is recommended to
+also select SND_USB_AUDIO, as this is required to get sound from the radio. For
+listing you have to redirect the sound, for example using one of the following
+commands. Please adjust the audio devices to your needs (/dev/dsp* and hw:x,x).
+
+If you just want to test audio (very poor quality):
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ cat /dev/dsp1 > /dev/dsp
+
+If you use sox + OSS try:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ sox -2 --endian little -r 96000 -t oss /dev/dsp1 -t oss /dev/dsp
+
+or using sox + alsa:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ sox --endian little -c 2 -S -r 96000 -t alsa hw:1 -t alsa -r 96000 hw:0
+
+If you use arts try:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ arecord -D hw:1,0 -r96000 -c2 -f S16_LE | artsdsp aplay -B -
+
+If you use mplayer try:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ mplayer -radio adevice=hw=1.0:arate=96000 \
+ -rawaudio rate=96000 \
+ radio://<frequency>/capture
+
+Module Parameters
+-----------------
+
+After loading the module, you still have access to some of them in the sysfs
+mount under /sys/module/radio_si470x/parameters. The contents of read-only files
+(0444) are not updated, even if space, band and de are changed using private
+video controls. The others are runtime changeable.
+
+
+Errors
+------
+
+Increase tune_timeout, if you often get -EIO errors.
+
+When timed out or band limit is reached, hw_freq_seek returns -EAGAIN.
+
+If you get any errors from snd_usb_audio, please report them to the ALSA people.
+
+
+Open Issues
+-----------
+
+V4L minor device allocation and parameter setting is not perfect. A solution is
+currently under discussion.
+
+There is an USB interface for downloading/uploading new firmware images. Support
+for it can be implemented using the request_firmware interface.
+
+There is a RDS interrupt mode. The driver is already using the same interface
+for polling RDS information, but is currently not using the interrupt mode.
+
+There is a LED interface, which can be used to override the LED control
+programmed in the firmware. This can be made available using the LED support
+functions in the kernel.
