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.

+=============================
+Overview of Amiga Filesystems
+=============================
+
+Not all varieties of the Amiga filesystems are supported for reading and
+writing. The Amiga currently knows six different filesystems:
+
+============== ===============================================================
+DOS\0 The old or original filesystem, not really suited for
+ hard disks and normally not used on them, either.
+ Supported read/write.
+
+DOS\1 The original Fast File System. Supported read/write.
+
+DOS\2 The old "international" filesystem. International means that
+ a bug has been fixed so that accented ("international") letters
+ in file names are case-insensitive, as they ought to be.
+ Supported read/write.
+
+DOS\3 The "international" Fast File System. Supported read/write.
+
+DOS\4 The original filesystem with directory cache. The directory
+ cache speeds up directory accesses on floppies considerably,
+ but slows down file creation/deletion. Doesn't make much
+ sense on hard disks. Supported read only.
+
+DOS\5 The Fast File System with directory cache. Supported read only.
+============== ===============================================================
+
+All of the above filesystems allow block sizes from 512 to 32K bytes.
+Supported block sizes are: 512, 1024, 2048 and 4096 bytes. Larger blocks
+speed up almost everything at the expense of wasted disk space. The speed
+gain above 4K seems not really worth the price, so you don't lose too
+much here, either.
+
+The muFS (multi user File System) equivalents of the above file systems
+are supported, too.
+
+Mount options for the AFFS
+==========================
+
+protect
+ If this option is set, the protection bits cannot be altered.
+
+setuid[=uid]
+ This sets the owner of all files and directories in the file
+ system to uid or the uid of the current user, respectively.
+
+setgid[=gid]
+ Same as above, but for gid.
+
+mode=mode
+ Sets the mode flags to the given (octal) value, regardless
+ of the original permissions. Directories will get an x
+ permission if the corresponding r bit is set.
+ This is useful since most of the plain AmigaOS files
+ will map to 600.
+
+nofilenametruncate
+ The file system will return an error when filename exceeds
+ standard maximum filename length (30 characters).
+
+reserved=num
+ Sets the number of reserved blocks at the start of the
+ partition to num. You should never need this option.
+ Default is 2.
+
+root=block
+ Sets the block number of the root block. This should never
+ be necessary.
+
+bs=blksize
+ Sets the blocksize to blksize. Valid block sizes are 512,
+ 1024, 2048 and 4096. Like the root option, this should
+ never be necessary, as the affs can figure it out itself.
+
+quiet
+ The file system will not return an error for disallowed
+ mode changes.
+
+verbose
+ The volume name, file system type and block size will
+ be written to the syslog when the filesystem is mounted.
+
+mufs
+ The filesystem is really a muFS, also it doesn't
+ identify itself as one. This option is necessary if
+ the filesystem wasn't formatted as muFS, but is used
+ as one.
+
+prefix=path
+ Path will be prefixed to every absolute path name of
+ symbolic links on an AFFS partition. Default = "/".
+ (See below.)
+
+volume=name
+ When symbolic links with an absolute path are created
+ on an AFFS partition, name will be prepended as the
+ volume name. Default = "" (empty string).
+ (See below.)
+
+Handling of the Users/Groups and protection flags
+=================================================
+
+Amiga -> Linux:
+
+The Amiga protection flags RWEDRWEDHSPARWED are handled as follows:
+
+ - R maps to r for user, group and others. On directories, R implies x.
+
+ - W maps to w.
+
+ - E maps to x.
+
+ - D is ignored.
+
+ - H, S and P are always retained and ignored under Linux.
+
+ - A is cleared when a file is written to.
+
+User id and group id will be used unless set[gu]id are given as mount
+options. Since most of the Amiga file systems are single user systems
+they will be owned by root. The root directory (the mount point) of the
+Amiga filesystem will be owned by the user who actually mounts the
+filesystem (the root directory doesn't have uid/gid fields).
+
+Linux -> Amiga:
+
+The Linux rwxrwxrwx file mode is handled as follows:
+
+ - r permission will allow R for user, group and others.
+
+ - w permission will allow W for user, group and others.
+
+ - x permission of the user will allow E for plain files.
+
+ - D will be allowed for user, group and others.
+
+ - All other flags (suid, sgid, ...) are ignored and will
+ not be retained.
+
+Newly created files and directories will get the user and group ID
+of the current user and a mode according to the umask.
+
+Symbolic links
+==============
+
+Although the Amiga and Linux file systems resemble each other, there
+are some, not always subtle, differences. One of them becomes apparent
+with symbolic links. While Linux has a file system with exactly one
+root directory, the Amiga has a separate root directory for each
+file system (for example, partition, floppy disk, ...). With the Amiga,
+these entities are called "volumes". They have symbolic names which
+can be used to access them. Thus, symbolic links can point to a
+different volume. AFFS turns the volume name into a directory name
+and prepends the prefix path (see prefix option) to it.
+
+Example:
+You mount all your Amiga partitions under /amiga/<volume> (where
+<volume> is the name of the volume), and you give the option
+"prefix=/amiga/" when mounting all your AFFS partitions. (They
+might be "User", "WB" and "Graphics", the mount points /amiga/User,
+/amiga/WB and /amiga/Graphics). A symbolic link referring to
+"User:sc/include/dos/dos.h" will be followed to
+"/amiga/User/sc/include/dos/dos.h".
+
+Examples
+========
+
+Command line::
+
+ mount Archive/Amiga/Workbench3.1.adf /mnt -t affs -o loop,verbose
+ mount /dev/sda3 /Amiga -t affs
+
+/etc/fstab entry::
+
+ /dev/sdb5 /amiga/Workbench affs noauto,user,exec,verbose 0 0
+
+IMPORTANT NOTE
+==============
+
+If you boot Windows 95 (don't know about 3.x, 98 and NT) while you
+have an Amiga harddisk connected to your PC, it will overwrite
+the bytes 0x00dc..0x00df of block 0 with garbage, thus invalidating
+the Rigid Disk Block. Sheer luck has it that this is an unused
+area of the RDB, so only the checksum doesn't match anymore.
+Linux will ignore this garbage and recognize the RDB anyway, but
+before you connect that drive to your Amiga again, you must
+restore or repair your RDB. So please do make a backup copy of it
+before booting Windows!
+
+If the damage is already done, the following should fix the RDB
+(where <disk> is the device name).
+
+DO AT YOUR OWN RISK::
+
+ dd if=/dev/<disk> of=rdb.tmp count=1
+ cp rdb.tmp rdb.fixed
+ dd if=/dev/zero of=rdb.fixed bs=1 seek=220 count=4
+ dd if=rdb.fixed of=/dev/<disk>
+
+Bugs, Restrictions, Caveats
+===========================
+
+Quite a few things may not work as advertised. Not everything is
+tested, though several hundred MB have been read and written using
+this fs. For a most up-to-date list of bugs please consult
+fs/affs/Changes.
+
+By default, filenames are truncated to 30 characters without warning.
+'nofilenametruncate' mount option can change that behavior.
+
+Case is ignored by the affs in filename matching, but Linux shells
+do care about the case. Example (with /wb being an affs mounted fs)::
+
+ rm /wb/WRONGCASE
+
+will remove /mnt/wrongcase, but::
+
+ rm /wb/WR*
+
+will not since the names are matched by the shell.
+
+The block allocation is designed for hard disk partitions. If more
+than 1 process writes to a (small) diskette, the blocks are allocated
+in an ugly way (but the real AFFS doesn't do much better). This
+is also true when space gets tight.
+
+You cannot execute programs on an OFS (Old File System), since the
+program files cannot be memory mapped due to the 488 byte blocks.
+For the same reason you cannot mount an image on such a filesystem
+via the loopback device.
+
+The bitmap valid flag in the root block may not be accurate when the
+system crashes while an affs partition is mounted. There's currently
+no way to fix a garbled filesystem without an Amiga (disk validator)
+or manually (who would do this?). Maybe later.
+
+If you mount affs partitions on system startup, you may want to tell
+fsck that the fs should not be checked (place a '0' in the sixth field
+of /etc/fstab).
+
+It's not possible to read floppy disks with a normal PC or workstation
+due to an incompatibility with the Amiga floppy controller.
+
