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.

+==========================
+Shrinker Debugfs Interface
+==========================
+
+Shrinker debugfs interface provides a visibility into the kernel memory
+shrinkers subsystem and allows to get information about individual shrinkers
+and interact with them.
+
+For each shrinker registered in the system a directory in **<debugfs>/shrinker/**
+is created. The directory's name is composed from the shrinker's name and an
+unique id: e.g. *kfree_rcu-0* or *sb-xfs:vda1-36*.
+
+Each shrinker directory contains **count** and **scan** files, which allow to
+trigger *count_objects()* and *scan_objects()* callbacks for each memcg and
+numa node (if applicable).
+
+Usage:
+------
+
+1. *List registered shrinkers*
+
+ ::
+
+ $ cd /sys/kernel/debug/shrinker/
+ $ ls
+ dquota-cache-16 sb-devpts-28 sb-proc-47 sb-tmpfs-42
+ mm-shadow-18 sb-devtmpfs-5 sb-proc-48 sb-tmpfs-43
+ mm-zspool:zram0-34 sb-hugetlbfs-17 sb-pstore-31 sb-tmpfs-44
+ rcu-kfree-0 sb-hugetlbfs-33 sb-rootfs-2 sb-tmpfs-49
+ sb-aio-20 sb-iomem-12 sb-securityfs-6 sb-tracefs-13
+ sb-anon_inodefs-15 sb-mqueue-21 sb-selinuxfs-22 sb-xfs:vda1-36
+ sb-bdev-3 sb-nsfs-4 sb-sockfs-8 sb-zsmalloc-19
+ sb-bpf-32 sb-pipefs-14 sb-sysfs-26 thp-deferred_split-10
+ sb-btrfs:vda2-24 sb-proc-25 sb-tmpfs-1 thp-zero-9
+ sb-cgroup2-30 sb-proc-39 sb-tmpfs-27 xfs-buf:vda1-37
+ sb-configfs-23 sb-proc-41 sb-tmpfs-29 xfs-inodegc:vda1-38
+ sb-dax-11 sb-proc-45 sb-tmpfs-35
+ sb-debugfs-7 sb-proc-46 sb-tmpfs-40
+
+2. *Get information about a specific shrinker*
+
+ ::
+
+ $ cd sb-btrfs\:vda2-24/
+ $ ls
+ count scan
+
+3. *Count objects*
+
+ Each line in the output has the following format::
+
+ <cgroup inode id> <nr of objects on node 0> <nr of objects on node 1> ...
+ <cgroup inode id> <nr of objects on node 0> <nr of objects on node 1> ...
+ ...
+
+ If there are no objects on all numa nodes, a line is omitted. If there
+ are no objects at all, the output might be empty.
+
+ If the shrinker is not memcg-aware or CONFIG_MEMCG is off, 0 is printed
+ as cgroup inode id. If the shrinker is not numa-aware, 0's are printed
+ for all nodes except the first one.

+4. *Scan objects*
+
+ The expected input format::
+
+ <cgroup inode id> <numa id> <number of objects to scan>
+
+ For a non-memcg-aware shrinker or on a system with no memory
+ cgrups **0** should be passed as cgroup id.
