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.

+Devicetree Overlay Notes
+========================
+
+This document describes the implementation of the in-kernel
+device tree overlay functionality residing in drivers/of/overlay.c and is a
+companion document to Documentation/devicetree/dynamic-resolution-notes.rst[1]
+
+How overlays work
+-----------------
+
+A Devicetree's overlay purpose is to modify the kernel's live tree, and
+have the modification affecting the state of the kernel in a way that
+is reflecting the changes.
+Since the kernel mainly deals with devices, any new device node that result
+in an active device should have it created while if the device node is either
+disabled or removed all together, the affected device should be deregistered.
+
+Lets take an example where we have a foo board with the following base tree::
+
+    ---- foo.dts ---------------------------------------------------------------
+	/* FOO platform */
+	/dts-v1/;
+	/ {
+		compatible = "corp,foo";
+
+		/* shared resources */
+		res: res {
+		};
+
+		/* On chip peripherals */
+		ocp: ocp {
+			/* peripherals that are always instantiated */
+			peripheral1 { ... };
+		};
+	};
+    ---- foo.dts ---------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The overlay bar.dts,
+::
+
+    ---- bar.dts - overlay target location by label ----------------------------
+	/dts-v1/;
+	/plugin/;
+	&ocp {
+		/* bar peripheral */
+		bar {
+			compatible = "corp,bar";
+			... /* various properties and child nodes */
+		};
+	};
+    ---- bar.dts ---------------------------------------------------------------
+
+when loaded (and resolved as described in [1]) should result in foo+bar.dts::
+
+    ---- foo+bar.dts -----------------------------------------------------------
+	/* FOO platform + bar peripheral */
+	/ {
+		compatible = "corp,foo";
+
+		/* shared resources */
+		res: res {
+		};
+
+		/* On chip peripherals */
+		ocp: ocp {
+			/* peripherals that are always instantiated */
+			peripheral1 { ... };
+
+			/* bar peripheral */
+			bar {
+				compatible = "corp,bar";
+				... /* various properties and child nodes */
+			};
+		};
+	};
+    ---- foo+bar.dts -----------------------------------------------------------
+
+As a result of the overlay, a new device node (bar) has been created
+so a bar platform device will be registered and if a matching device driver
+is loaded the device will be created as expected.
+
+If the base DT was not compiled with the -@ option then the "&ocp" label
+will not be available to resolve the overlay node(s) to the proper location
+in the base DT. In this case, the target path can be provided. The target
+location by label syntax is preferred because the overlay can be applied to
+any base DT containing the label, no matter where the label occurs in the DT.
+
+The above bar.dts example modified to use target path syntax is::
+
+    ---- bar.dts - overlay target location by explicit path --------------------
+	/dts-v1/;
+	/plugin/;
+	&{/ocp} {
+		/* bar peripheral */
+		bar {
+			compatible = "corp,bar";
+			... /* various properties and child nodes */
+		}
+	};
+    ---- bar.dts ---------------------------------------------------------------
+
+
+Overlay in-kernel API
+--------------------------------
+
+The API is quite easy to use.
+
+1) Call of_overlay_fdt_apply() to create and apply an overlay changeset. The
+   return value is an error or a cookie identifying this overlay.
+
+2) Call of_overlay_remove() to remove and cleanup the overlay changeset
+   previously created via the call to of_overlay_fdt_apply(). Removal of an
+   overlay changeset that is stacked by another will not be permitted.
+
+Finally, if you need to remove all overlays in one-go, just call
+of_overlay_remove_all() which will remove every single one in the correct
+order.
+
+There is the option to register notifiers that get called on
+overlay operations. See of_overlay_notifier_register/unregister and
+enum of_overlay_notify_action for details.
+
+A notifier callback for OF_OVERLAY_PRE_APPLY, OF_OVERLAY_POST_APPLY, or
+OF_OVERLAY_PRE_REMOVE may store pointers to a device tree node in the overlay
+or its content but these pointers must not persist past the notifier callback
+for OF_OVERLAY_POST_REMOVE.  The memory containing the overlay will be
+kfree()ed after OF_OVERLAY_POST_REMOVE notifiers are called.  Note that the
+memory will be kfree()ed even if the notifier for OF_OVERLAY_POST_REMOVE
+returns an error.
+
+The changeset notifiers in drivers/of/dynamic.c are a second type of notifier
+that could be triggered by applying or removing an overlay.  These notifiers
+are not allowed to store pointers to a device tree node in the overlay
+or its content.  The overlay code does not protect against such pointers
+remaining active when the memory containing the overlay is freed as a result
+of removing the overlay.
+
+Any other code that retains a pointer to the overlay nodes or data is
+considered to be a bug because after removing the overlay the pointer
+will refer to freed memory.
+
+Users of overlays must be especially aware of the overall operations that
+occur on the system to ensure that other kernel code does not retain any
+pointers to the overlay nodes or data.  Any example of an inadvertent use
+of such pointers is if a driver or subsystem module is loaded after an
+overlay has been applied, and the driver or subsystem scans the entire
+devicetree or a large portion of it, including the overlay nodes.
