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.

+0. Introduction
+===============
+
+The generic thermal sysfs provides a set of interfaces for thermal zone
+devices (sensors) and thermal cooling devices (fan, processor...) to register
+with the thermal management solution and to be a part of it.
+
+This how-to focuses on enabling new thermal zone and cooling devices to
+participate in thermal management.
+This solution is platform independent and any type of thermal zone devices
+and cooling devices should be able to make use of the infrastructure.
+
+The main task of the thermal sysfs driver is to expose thermal zone attributes
+as well as cooling device attributes to the user space.
+An intelligent thermal management application can make decisions based on
+inputs from thermal zone attributes (the current temperature and trip point
+temperature) and throttle appropriate devices.

+1. thermal sysfs driver interface functions
+===========================================
+
+1.1 thermal zone device interface
+---------------------------------
+
+    ::
+
+	struct thermal_zone_device
+	*thermal_zone_device_register(char *type,
+				      int trips, int mask, void *devdata,
+				      struct thermal_zone_device_ops *ops,
+				      const struct thermal_zone_params *tzp,
+				      int passive_delay, int polling_delay))
+
+    This interface function adds a new thermal zone device (sensor) to
+    /sys/class/thermal folder as `thermal_zone[0-*]`. It tries to bind all the
+    thermal cooling devices registered at the same time.
+
+    type:
+	the thermal zone type.
+    trips:
+	the total number of trip points this thermal zone supports.
+    mask:
+	Bit string: If 'n'th bit is set, then trip point 'n' is writable.
+    devdata:
+	device private data
+    ops:
+	thermal zone device call-backs.
+
+	.bind:
+		bind the thermal zone device with a thermal cooling device.
+	.unbind:
+		unbind the thermal zone device with a thermal cooling device.
+	.get_temp:
+		get the current temperature of the thermal zone.
+	.set_trips:
+		    set the trip points window. Whenever the current temperature
+		    is updated, the trip points immediately below and above the
+		    current temperature are found.
+	.get_mode:
+		   get the current mode (enabled/disabled) of the thermal zone.
+
+			- "enabled" means the kernel thermal management is
+			  enabled.
+			- "disabled" will prevent kernel thermal driver action
+			  upon trip points so that user applications can take
+			  charge of thermal management.
+	.set_mode:
+		set the mode (enabled/disabled) of the thermal zone.
+	.get_trip_type:
+		get the type of certain trip point.
+	.get_trip_temp:
+			get the temperature above which the certain trip point
+			will be fired.
+	.set_emul_temp:
+			set the emulation temperature which helps in debugging
+			different threshold temperature points.
+    tzp:
+	thermal zone platform parameters.
+    passive_delay:
+	number of milliseconds to wait between polls when
+	performing passive cooling.
+    polling_delay:
+	number of milliseconds to wait between polls when checking
+	whether trip points have been crossed (0 for interrupt driven systems).
+
+    ::
+
+	void thermal_zone_device_unregister(struct thermal_zone_device *tz)
+
+    This interface function removes the thermal zone device.
+    It deletes the corresponding entry from /sys/class/thermal folder and
+    unbinds all the thermal cooling devices it uses.
+
+	::
+
+	   struct thermal_zone_device
+	   *thermal_zone_of_sensor_register(struct device *dev, int sensor_id,
+				void *data,
+				const struct thermal_zone_of_device_ops *ops)
+
+	This interface adds a new sensor to a DT thermal zone.
+	This function will search the list of thermal zones described in
+	device tree and look for the zone that refer to the sensor device
+	pointed by dev->of_node as temperature providers. For the zone
+	pointing to the sensor node, the sensor will be added to the DT
+	thermal zone device.
+
+	The parameters for this interface are:
+
+	dev:
+			Device node of sensor containing valid node pointer in
+			dev->of_node.
+	sensor_id:
+			a sensor identifier, in case the sensor IP has more
+			than one sensors
+	data:
+			a private pointer (owned by the caller) that will be
+			passed back, when a temperature reading is needed.
+	ops:
+			`struct thermal_zone_of_device_ops *`.
+
+			==============  =======================================
+			get_temp	a pointer to a function that reads the
+					sensor temperature. This is mandatory
+					callback provided by sensor driver.
+			set_trips	a pointer to a function that sets a
+					temperature window. When this window is
+					left the driver must inform the thermal
+					core via thermal_zone_device_update.
+			get_trend 	a pointer to a function that reads the
+					sensor temperature trend.
+			set_emul_temp	a pointer to a function that sets
+					sensor emulated temperature.
+			==============  =======================================
+
+	The thermal zone temperature is provided by the get_temp() function
+	pointer of thermal_zone_of_device_ops. When called, it will
+	have the private pointer @data back.
+
+	It returns error pointer if fails otherwise valid thermal zone device
+	handle. Caller should check the return handle with IS_ERR() for finding
+	whether success or not.
+
+	::
+
+	    void thermal_zone_of_sensor_unregister(struct device *dev,
+						   struct thermal_zone_device *tzd)
+
+	This interface unregisters a sensor from a DT thermal zone which was
+	successfully added by interface thermal_zone_of_sensor_register().
+	This function removes the sensor callbacks and private data from the
+	thermal zone device registered with thermal_zone_of_sensor_register()
+	interface. It will also silent the zone by remove the .get_temp() and
+	get_trend() thermal zone device callbacks.
+
+	::
+
+	  struct thermal_zone_device
+	  *devm_thermal_zone_of_sensor_register(struct device *dev,
+				int sensor_id,
+				void *data,
+				const struct thermal_zone_of_device_ops *ops)
+
+	This interface is resource managed version of
+	thermal_zone_of_sensor_register().
+
+	All details of thermal_zone_of_sensor_register() described in
+	section 1.1.3 is applicable here.
+
+	The benefit of using this interface to register sensor is that it
+	is not require to explicitly call thermal_zone_of_sensor_unregister()
+	in error path or during driver unbinding as this is done by driver
+	resource manager.
+
+	::
+
+		void devm_thermal_zone_of_sensor_unregister(struct device *dev,
+						struct thermal_zone_device *tzd)
+
+	This interface is resource managed version of
+	thermal_zone_of_sensor_unregister().
+	All details of thermal_zone_of_sensor_unregister() described in
+	section 1.1.4 is applicable here.
+	Normally this function will not need to be called and the resource
+	management code will ensure that the resource is freed.
+
+	::
+
+		int thermal_zone_get_slope(struct thermal_zone_device *tz)
+
+	This interface is used to read the slope attribute value
+	for the thermal zone device, which might be useful for platform
+	drivers for temperature calculations.
+
+	::
+
+		int thermal_zone_get_offset(struct thermal_zone_device *tz)
+
+	This interface is used to read the offset attribute value
+	for the thermal zone device, which might be useful for platform
+	drivers for temperature calculations.
+
+1.2 thermal cooling device interface
+------------------------------------
+
+
+    ::
+
+	struct thermal_cooling_device
+	*thermal_cooling_device_register(char *name,
+			void *devdata, struct thermal_cooling_device_ops *)
+
+    This interface function adds a new thermal cooling device (fan/processor/...)
+    to /sys/class/thermal/ folder as `cooling_device[0-*]`. It tries to bind itself
+    to all the thermal zone devices registered at the same time.
+
+    name:
+	the cooling device name.
+    devdata:
+	device private data.
+    ops:
+	thermal cooling devices call-backs.
+
+	.get_max_state:
+		get the Maximum throttle state of the cooling device.
+	.get_cur_state:
+		get the Currently requested throttle state of the
+		cooling device.
+	.set_cur_state:
+		set the Current throttle state of the cooling device.
+
+    ::
+
+	void thermal_cooling_device_unregister(struct thermal_cooling_device *cdev)
+
+    This interface function removes the thermal cooling device.
+    It deletes the corresponding entry from /sys/class/thermal folder and
+    unbinds itself from all the thermal zone devices using it.
+
+1.3 interface for binding a thermal zone device with a thermal cooling device
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+    ::
+
+	int thermal_zone_bind_cooling_device(struct thermal_zone_device *tz,
+		int trip, struct thermal_cooling_device *cdev,
+		unsigned long upper, unsigned long lower, unsigned int weight);
+
+    This interface function binds a thermal cooling device to a particular trip
+    point of a thermal zone device.
+
+    This function is usually called in the thermal zone device .bind callback.
+
+    tz:
+	  the thermal zone device
+    cdev:
+	  thermal cooling device
+    trip:
+	  indicates which trip point in this thermal zone the cooling device
+	  is associated with.
+    upper:
+	  the Maximum cooling state for this trip point.
+	  THERMAL_NO_LIMIT means no upper limit,
+	  and the cooling device can be in max_state.
+    lower:
+	  the Minimum cooling state can be used for this trip point.
+	  THERMAL_NO_LIMIT means no lower limit,
+	  and the cooling device can be in cooling state 0.
+    weight:
+	  the influence of this cooling device in this thermal
+	  zone.  See 1.4.1 below for more information.
+
+    ::
+
+	int thermal_zone_unbind_cooling_device(struct thermal_zone_device *tz,
+				int trip, struct thermal_cooling_device *cdev);
+
+    This interface function unbinds a thermal cooling device from a particular
+    trip point of a thermal zone device. This function is usually called in
+    the thermal zone device .unbind callback.
+
+    tz:
+	the thermal zone device
+    cdev:
+	thermal cooling device
+    trip:
+	indicates which trip point in this thermal zone the cooling device
+	is associated with.
+
+1.4 Thermal Zone Parameters
+---------------------------
+
+    ::
+
+	struct thermal_bind_params
+
+    This structure defines the following parameters that are used to bind
+    a zone with a cooling device for a particular trip point.
+
+    .cdev:
+	     The cooling device pointer
+    .weight:
+	     The 'influence' of a particular cooling device on this
+	     zone. This is relative to the rest of the cooling
+	     devices. For example, if all cooling devices have a
+	     weight of 1, then they all contribute the same. You can
+	     use percentages if you want, but it's not mandatory. A
+	     weight of 0 means that this cooling device doesn't
+	     contribute to the cooling of this zone unless all cooling
+	     devices have a weight of 0. If all weights are 0, then
+	     they all contribute the same.
+    .trip_mask:
+	       This is a bit mask that gives the binding relation between
+	       this thermal zone and cdev, for a particular trip point.
+	       If nth bit is set, then the cdev and thermal zone are bound
+	       for trip point n.
+    .binding_limits:
+		     This is an array of cooling state limits. Must have
+		     exactly 2 * thermal_zone.number_of_trip_points. It is an
+		     array consisting of tuples <lower-state upper-state> of
+		     state limits. Each trip will be associated with one state
+		     limit tuple when binding. A NULL pointer means
+		     <THERMAL_NO_LIMITS THERMAL_NO_LIMITS> on all trips.
+		     These limits are used when binding a cdev to a trip point.
+    .match:
+	    This call back returns success(0) if the 'tz and cdev' need to
+	    be bound, as per platform data.
+
+    ::
+
+	struct thermal_zone_params
+
+    This structure defines the platform level parameters for a thermal zone.
+    This data, for each thermal zone should come from the platform layer.
+    This is an optional feature where some platforms can choose not to
+    provide this data.
+
+    .governor_name:
+	       Name of the thermal governor used for this zone
+    .no_hwmon:
+	       a boolean to indicate if the thermal to hwmon sysfs interface
+	       is required. when no_hwmon == false, a hwmon sysfs interface
+	       will be created. when no_hwmon == true, nothing will be done.
+	       In case the thermal_zone_params is NULL, the hwmon interface
+	       will be created (for backward compatibility).
+    .num_tbps:

+=============================
+
+==	================
+RO	read only value
+WO	write only value
+RW	read/write value
+==	================
+
+Thermal sysfs attributes will be represented under /sys/class/thermal.
+Hwmon sysfs I/F extension is also available under /sys/class/hwmon
+if hwmon is compiled in or built as a module.
+
+Thermal zone device sys I/F, created once it's registered::
+
+  /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone[0-*]:
+    |---type:			Type of the thermal zone
+    |---temp:			Current temperature
+    |---mode:			Working mode of the thermal zone
+    |---policy:			Thermal governor used for this zone
+    |---available_policies:	Available thermal governors for this zone
+    |---trip_point_[0-*]_temp:	Trip point temperature
+    |---trip_point_[0-*]_type:	Trip point type
+    |---trip_point_[0-*]_hyst:	Hysteresis value for this trip point
+    |---emul_temp:		Emulated temperature set node
+    |---sustainable_power:      Sustainable dissipatable power
+    |---k_po:                   Proportional term during temperature overshoot
+    |---k_pu:                   Proportional term during temperature undershoot
+    |---k_i:                    PID's integral term in the power allocator gov
+    |---k_d:                    PID's derivative term in the power allocator
+    |---integral_cutoff:        Offset above which errors are accumulated
+    |---slope:                  Slope constant applied as linear extrapolation
+    |---offset:                 Offset constant applied as linear extrapolation
+
+Thermal cooling device sys I/F, created once it's registered::
+
+  /sys/class/thermal/cooling_device[0-*]:
+    |---type:			Type of the cooling device(processor/fan/...)
+    |---max_state:		Maximum cooling state of the cooling device
+    |---cur_state:		Current cooling state of the cooling device
+    |---stats:			Directory containing cooling device's statistics
+    |---stats/reset:		Writing any value resets the statistics
+    |---stats/time_in_state_ms:	Time (msec) spent in various cooling states
+    |---stats/total_trans:	Total number of times cooling state is changed
+    |---stats/trans_table:	Cooling state transition table
+
+
+Then next two dynamic attributes are created/removed in pairs. They represent
+the relationship between a thermal zone and its associated cooling device.
+They are created/removed for each successful execution of
+thermal_zone_bind_cooling_device/thermal_zone_unbind_cooling_device.
+
+::
+
+  /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone[0-*]:
+    |---cdev[0-*]:		[0-*]th cooling device in current thermal zone
+    |---cdev[0-*]_trip_point:	Trip point that cdev[0-*] is associated with
+    |---cdev[0-*]_weight:       Influence of the cooling device in
+				this thermal zone
+
+Besides the thermal zone device sysfs I/F and cooling device sysfs I/F,
+the generic thermal driver also creates a hwmon sysfs I/F for each _type_
+of thermal zone device. E.g. the generic thermal driver registers one hwmon
+class device and build the associated hwmon sysfs I/F for all the registered
+ACPI thermal zones.
+
+Please read Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-thermal for thermal
+zone and cooling device attribute details.

+  /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon[0-*]:
+    |---name:			The type of the thermal zone devices
+    |---temp[1-*]_input:	The current temperature of thermal zone [1-*]
+    |---temp[1-*]_critical:	The critical trip point of thermal zone [1-*]
+
+Please read Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface.rst for additional information.
+
+3. A simple implementation
+==========================
+
+ACPI thermal zone may support multiple trip points like critical, hot,
+passive, active. If an ACPI thermal zone supports critical, passive,
+active[0] and active[1] at the same time, it may register itself as a
+thermal_zone_device (thermal_zone1) with 4 trip points in all.
+It has one processor and one fan, which are both registered as
+thermal_cooling_device. Both are considered to have the same
+effectiveness in cooling the thermal zone.
+
+If the processor is listed in _PSL method, and the fan is listed in _AL0
+method, the sys I/F structure will be built like this::
+
+ /sys/class/thermal:
+  |thermal_zone1:
+    |---type:			acpitz
+    |---temp:			37000
+    |---mode:			enabled
+    |---policy:			step_wise
+    |---available_policies:	step_wise fair_share
+    |---trip_point_0_temp:	100000
+    |---trip_point_0_type:	critical
+    |---trip_point_1_temp:	80000
+    |---trip_point_1_type:	passive
+    |---trip_point_2_temp:	70000
+    |---trip_point_2_type:	active0
+    |---trip_point_3_temp:	60000
+    |---trip_point_3_type:	active1
+    |---cdev0:			--->/sys/class/thermal/cooling_device0
+    |---cdev0_trip_point:	1	/* cdev0 can be used for passive */
+    |---cdev0_weight:           1024
+    |---cdev1:			--->/sys/class/thermal/cooling_device3
+    |---cdev1_trip_point:	2	/* cdev1 can be used for active[0]*/
+    |---cdev1_weight:           1024
+
+  |cooling_device0:
+    |---type:			Processor
+    |---max_state:		8
+    |---cur_state:		0
+
+  |cooling_device3:
+    |---type:			Fan
+    |---max_state:		2
+    |---cur_state:		0
+
+ /sys/class/hwmon:
+  |hwmon0:
+    |---name:			acpitz
+    |---temp1_input:		37000
+    |---temp1_crit:		100000
+
+4. Export Symbol APIs
+=====================
+
+4.1. get_tz_trend
+-----------------
+
+This function returns the trend of a thermal zone, i.e the rate of change
+of temperature of the thermal zone. Ideally, the thermal sensor drivers
+are supposed to implement the callback. If they don't, the thermal
+framework calculated the trend by comparing the previous and the current
+temperature values.
+
+4.2. get_thermal_instance
+-------------------------
+
+This function returns the thermal_instance corresponding to a given
+{thermal_zone, cooling_device, trip_point} combination. Returns NULL
+if such an instance does not exist.
+
+4.3. thermal_cdev_update
+------------------------
+
+This function serves as an arbitrator to set the state of a cooling
+device. It sets the cooling device to the deepest cooling state if
+possible.
+
+5. thermal_emergency_poweroff
+=============================
+
+On an event of critical trip temperature crossing the thermal framework
+shuts down the system by calling hw_protection_shutdown(). The
+hw_protection_shutdown() first attempts to perform an orderly shutdown
+but accepts a delay after which it proceeds doing a forced power-off
+or as last resort an emergency_restart.
+
+The delay should be carefully profiled so as to give adequate time for
+orderly poweroff.
+
+If the delay is set to 0 emergency poweroff will not be supported. So a
+carefully profiled non-zero positive value is a must for emergency
+poweroff to be triggered.
