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.

+=========================
+System Suspend Code Flows
+=========================

+
+At least one global system-wide transition needs to be carried out for the
+system to get from the working state into one of the supported
+:doc:`sleep states <sleep-states>`. Hibernation requires more than one
+transition to occur for this purpose, but the other sleep states, commonly
+referred to as *system-wide suspend* (or simply *system suspend*) states, need
+only one.
+
+For those sleep states, the transition from the working state of the system into
+the target sleep state is referred to as *system suspend* too (in the majority
+of cases, whether this means a transition or a sleep state of the system should
+be clear from the context) and the transition back from the sleep state into the
+working state is referred to as *system resume*.
+
+The kernel code flows associated with the suspend and resume transitions for
+different sleep states of the system are quite similar, but there are some
+significant differences between the :ref:`suspend-to-idle <s2idle>` code flows
+and the code flows related to the :ref:`suspend-to-RAM <s2ram>` and
+:ref:`standby <standby>` sleep states.
+
+The :ref:`suspend-to-RAM <s2ram>` and :ref:`standby <standby>` sleep states
+cannot be implemented without platform support and the difference between them
+boils down to the platform-specific actions carried out by the suspend and
+resume hooks that need to be provided by the platform driver to make them
+available. Apart from that, the suspend and resume code flows for these sleep
+states are mostly identical, so they both together will be referred to as
+*platform-dependent suspend* states in what follows.
+
+
+.. _s2idle_suspend:
+
+Suspend-to-idle Suspend Code Flow
+=================================
+
+The following steps are taken in order to transition the system from the working
+state to the :ref:`suspend-to-idle <s2idle>` sleep state:
+
+ 1. Invoking system-wide suspend notifiers.
+
+ Kernel subsystems can register callbacks to be invoked when the suspend
+ transition is about to occur and when the resume transition has finished.
+
+ That allows them to prepare for the change of the system state and to clean
+ up after getting back to the working state.
+
+ 2. Freezing tasks.
+
+ Tasks are frozen primarily in order to avoid unchecked hardware accesses
+ from user space through MMIO regions or I/O registers exposed directly to
+ it and to prevent user space from entering the kernel while the next step
+ of the transition is in progress (which might have been problematic for
+ various reasons).
+
+ All user space tasks are intercepted as though they were sent a signal and
+ put into uninterruptible sleep until the end of the subsequent system resume
+ transition.
+
+ The kernel threads that choose to be frozen during system suspend for
+ specific reasons are frozen subsequently, but they are not intercepted.
+ Instead, they are expected to periodically check whether or not they need
+ to be frozen and to put themselves into uninterruptible sleep if so. [Note,
+ however, that kernel threads can use locking and other concurrency controls
+ available in kernel space to synchronize themselves with system suspend and
+ resume, which can be much more precise than the freezing, so the latter is
+ not a recommended option for kernel threads.]
+
+ 3. Suspending devices and reconfiguring IRQs.
+
+ Devices are suspended in four phases called *prepare*, *suspend*,
+ *late suspend* and *noirq suspend* (see :ref:`driverapi_pm_devices` for more
+ information on what exactly happens in each phase).
+
+ Every device is visited in each phase, but typically it is not physically
+ accessed in more than two of them.
+
+ The runtime PM API is disabled for every device during the *late* suspend
+ phase and high-level ("action") interrupt handlers are prevented from being
+ invoked before the *noirq* suspend phase.
+
+ Interrupts are still handled after that, but they are only acknowledged to
+ interrupt controllers without performing any device-specific actions that
+ would be triggered in the working state of the system (those actions are
+ deferred till the subsequent system resume transition as described
+ `below <s2idle_resume_>`_).
+
+ IRQs associated with system wakeup devices are "armed" so that the resume
+ transition of the system is started when one of them signals an event.
+
+ 4. Freezing the scheduler tick and suspending timekeeping.
+
+ When all devices have been suspended, CPUs enter the idle loop and are put
+ into the deepest available idle state. While doing that, each of them
+ "freezes" its own scheduler tick so that the timer events associated with
+ the tick do not occur until the CPU is woken up by another interrupt source.
+
+ The last CPU to enter the idle state also stops the timekeeping which
+ (among other things) prevents high resolution timers from triggering going
+ forward until the first CPU that is woken up restarts the timekeeping.
+ That allows the CPUs to stay in the deep idle state relatively long in one
+ go.
+
+ From this point on, the CPUs can only be woken up by non-timer hardware
+ interrupts. If that happens, they go back to the idle state unless the
+ interrupt that woke up one of them comes from an IRQ that has been armed for
+ system wakeup, in which case the system resume transition is started.
+
+
+.. _s2idle_resume:
+
+Suspend-to-idle Resume Code Flow
+================================
+
+The following steps are taken in order to transition the system from the
+:ref:`suspend-to-idle <s2idle>` sleep state into the working state:
+
+ 1. Resuming timekeeping and unfreezing the scheduler tick.
+
+ When one of the CPUs is woken up (by a non-timer hardware interrupt), it
+ leaves the idle state entered in the last step of the preceding suspend
+ transition, restarts the timekeeping (unless it has been restarted already
+ by another CPU that woke up earlier) and the scheduler tick on that CPU is
+ unfrozen.
+
+ If the interrupt that has woken up the CPU was armed for system wakeup,
+ the system resume transition begins.
+
+ 2. Resuming devices and restoring the working-state configuration of IRQs.
+
+ Devices are resumed in four phases called *noirq resume*, *early resume*,
+ *resume* and *complete* (see :ref:`driverapi_pm_devices` for more
+ information on what exactly happens in each phase).
+
+ Every device is visited in each phase, but typically it is not physically
+ accessed in more than two of them.
+
+ The working-state configuration of IRQs is restored after the *noirq* resume
+ phase and the runtime PM API is re-enabled for every device whose driver
+ supports it during the *early* resume phase.
+
+ 3. Thawing tasks.
+
+ Tasks frozen in step 2 of the preceding `suspend <s2idle_suspend_>`_
+ transition are "thawed", which means that they are woken up from the
+ uninterruptible sleep that they went into at that time and user space tasks
+ are allowed to exit the kernel.
+
+ 4. Invoking system-wide resume notifiers.
+
+ This is analogous to step 1 of the `suspend <s2idle_suspend_>`_ transition
+ and the same set of callbacks is invoked at this point, but a different
+ "notification type" parameter value is passed to them.
+
+
+Platform-dependent Suspend Code Flow
+====================================
+
+The following steps are taken in order to transition the system from the working
+state to platform-dependent suspend state:
+
+ 1. Invoking system-wide suspend notifiers.
+
+ This step is the same as step 1 of the suspend-to-idle suspend transition
+ described `above <s2idle_suspend_>`_.
+
+ 2. Freezing tasks.
+
+ This step is the same as step 2 of the suspend-to-idle suspend transition
+ described `above <s2idle_suspend_>`_.
+
+ 3. Suspending devices and reconfiguring IRQs.
+
+ This step is analogous to step 3 of the suspend-to-idle suspend transition
+ described `above <s2idle_suspend_>`_, but the arming of IRQs for system
+ wakeup generally does not have any effect on the platform.
+
+ There are platforms that can go into a very deep low-power state internally
+ when all CPUs in them are in sufficiently deep idle states and all I/O
+ devices have been put into low-power states. On those platforms,
+ suspend-to-idle can reduce system power very effectively.
+
+ On the other platforms, however, low-level components (like interrupt
+ controllers) need to be turned off in a platform-specific way (implemented
+ in the hooks provided by the platform driver) to achieve comparable power
+ reduction.
+
+ That usually prevents in-band hardware interrupts from waking up the system,
+ which must be done in a special platform-dependent way. Then, the
+ configuration of system wakeup sources usually starts when system wakeup
+ devices are suspended and is finalized by the platform suspend hooks later
+ on.
+
+ 4. Disabling non-boot CPUs.
+
+ On some platforms the suspend hooks mentioned above must run in a one-CPU
+ configuration of the system (in particular, the hardware cannot be accessed
+ by any code running in parallel with the platform suspend hooks that may,
+ and often do, trap into the platform firmware in order to finalize the
+ suspend transition).
+
+ For this reason, the CPU offline/online (CPU hotplug) framework is used
+ to take all of the CPUs in the system, except for one (the boot CPU),
+ offline (typically, the CPUs that have been taken offline go into deep idle
+ states).
+
+ This means that all tasks are migrated away from those CPUs and all IRQs are
+ rerouted to the only CPU that remains online.
+
+ 5. Suspending core system components.
+
+ This prepares the core system components for (possibly) losing power going
+ forward and suspends the timekeeping.
+
+ 6. Platform-specific power removal.
+
+ This is expected to remove power from all of the system components except
+ for the memory controller and RAM (in order to preserve the contents of the
+ latter) and some devices designated for system wakeup.
+
+ In many cases control is passed to the platform firmware which is expected
+ to finalize the suspend transition as needed.
+
+
+Platform-dependent Resume Code Flow
+===================================
+
+The following steps are taken in order to transition the system from a
+platform-dependent suspend state into the working state:
+
+ 1. Platform-specific system wakeup.
+
+ The platform is woken up by a signal from one of the designated system
+ wakeup devices (which need not be an in-band hardware interrupt) and
+ control is passed back to the kernel (the working configuration of the
+ platform may need to be restored by the platform firmware before the
+ kernel gets control again).
+
+ 2. Resuming core system components.
+
+ The suspend-time configuration of the core system components is restored and
+ the timekeeping is resumed.
+
+ 3. Re-enabling non-boot CPUs.
+
+ The CPUs disabled in step 4 of the preceding suspend transition are taken
+ back online and their suspend-time configuration is restored.
+
+ 4. Resuming devices and restoring the working-state configuration of IRQs.
+
+ This step is the same as step 2 of the suspend-to-idle suspend transition
+ described `above <s2idle_resume_>`_.
+
+ 5. Thawing tasks.
+
+ This step is the same as step 3 of the suspend-to-idle suspend transition
+ described `above <s2idle_resume_>`_.
+
+ 6. Invoking system-wide resume notifiers.
+
+ This step is the same as step 4 of the suspend-to-idle suspend transition
+ described `above <s2idle_resume_>`_.
