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.

+=======================
+ROMFS - ROM File System
+=======================
+
+This is a quite dumb, read only filesystem, mainly for initial RAM
+disks of installation disks.  It has grown up by the need of having
+modules linked at boot time.  Using this filesystem, you get a very
+similar feature, and even the possibility of a small kernel, with a
+file system which doesn't take up useful memory from the router
+functions in the basement of your office.
+
+For comparison, both the older minix and xiafs (the latter is now
+defunct) filesystems, compiled as module need more than 20000 bytes,
+while romfs is less than a page, about 4000 bytes (assuming i586
+code).  Under the same conditions, the msdos filesystem would need
+about 30K (and does not support device nodes or symlinks), while the
+nfs module with nfsroot is about 57K.  Furthermore, as a bit unfair
+comparison, an actual rescue disk used up 3202 blocks with ext2, while
+with romfs, it needed 3079 blocks.
+
+To create such a file system, you'll need a user program named
+genromfs. It is available on http://romfs.sourceforge.net/
+
+As the name suggests, romfs could be also used (space-efficiently) on
+various read-only media, like (E)EPROM disks if someone will have the
+motivation.. :)
+
+However, the main purpose of romfs is to have a very small kernel,
+which has only this filesystem linked in, and then can load any module
+later, with the current module utilities.  It can also be used to run
+some program to decide if you need SCSI devices, and even IDE or
+floppy drives can be loaded later if you use the "initrd"--initial
+RAM disk--feature of the kernel.  This would not be really news
+flash, but with romfs, you can even spare off your ext2 or minix or
+maybe even affs filesystem until you really know that you need it.
+
+For example, a distribution boot disk can contain only the cd disk
+drivers (and possibly the SCSI drivers), and the ISO 9660 filesystem
+module.  The kernel can be small enough, since it doesn't have other
+filesystems, like the quite large ext2fs module, which can then be
+loaded off the CD at a later stage of the installation.  Another use
+would be for a recovery disk, when you are reinstalling a workstation
+from the network, and you will have all the tools/modules available
+from a nearby server, so you don't want to carry two disks for this
+purpose, just because it won't fit into ext2.
+
+romfs operates on block devices as you can expect, and the underlying
+structure is very simple.  Every accessible structure begins on 16
+byte boundaries for fast access.  The minimum space a file will take
+is 32 bytes (this is an empty file, with a less than 16 character
+name).  The maximum overhead for any non-empty file is the header, and
+the 16 byte padding for the name and the contents, also 16+14+15 = 45
+bytes.  This is quite rare however, since most file names are longer
+than 3 bytes, and shorter than 15 bytes.
+
+The layout of the filesystem is the following::
+
+ offset	    content
+
+	+---+---+---+---+
+  0	| - | r | o | m |  \
+	+---+---+---+---+	The ASCII representation of those bytes
+  4	| 1 | f | s | - |  /	(i.e. "-rom1fs-")
+	+---+---+---+---+
+  8	|   full size	|	The number of accessible bytes in this fs.
+	+---+---+---+---+
+ 12	|    checksum	|	The checksum of the FIRST 512 BYTES.
+	+---+---+---+---+
+ 16	| volume name	|	The zero terminated name of the volume,
+	:               :	padded to 16 byte boundary.
+	+---+---+---+---+
+ xx	|     file	|
+	:    headers	:
+
+Every multi byte value (32 bit words, I'll use the longwords term from
+now on) must be in big endian order.
+
+The first eight bytes identify the filesystem, even for the casual
+inspector.  After that, in the 3rd longword, it contains the number of
+bytes accessible from the start of this filesystem.  The 4th longword
+is the checksum of the first 512 bytes (or the number of bytes
+accessible, whichever is smaller).  The applied algorithm is the same
+as in the AFFS filesystem, namely a simple sum of the longwords
+(assuming bigendian quantities again).  For details, please consult
+the source.  This algorithm was chosen because although it's not quite
+reliable, it does not require any tables, and it is very simple.
+
+The following bytes are now part of the file system; each file header
+must begin on a 16 byte boundary::
+
+ offset	    content
+
+     	+---+---+---+---+
+  0	| next filehdr|X|	The offset of the next file header
+	+---+---+---+---+	  (zero if no more files)
+  4	|   spec.info	|	Info for directories/hard links/devices
+	+---+---+---+---+
+  8	|     size      |	The size of this file in bytes
+	+---+---+---+---+
+ 12	|   checksum	|	Covering the meta data, including the file
+	+---+---+---+---+	  name, and padding
+ 16	| file name     |	The zero terminated name of the file,
+	:               :	padded to 16 byte boundary
+	+---+---+---+---+
+ xx	| file data	|
+	:		:
+
+Since the file headers begin always at a 16 byte boundary, the lowest
+4 bits would be always zero in the next filehdr pointer.  These four
+bits are used for the mode information.  Bits 0..2 specify the type of
+the file; while bit 4 shows if the file is executable or not.  The
+permissions are assumed to be world readable, if this bit is not set,
+and world executable if it is; except the character and block devices,
+they are never accessible for other than owner.  The owner of every
+file is user and group 0, this should never be a problem for the
+intended use.  The mapping of the 8 possible values to file types is
+the following:
+
+==	=============== ============================================
+	  mapping		spec.info means
+==	=============== ============================================
+ 0	hard link	link destination [file header]
+ 1	directory	first file's header
+ 2	regular file	unused, must be zero [MBZ]
+ 3	symbolic link	unused, MBZ (file data is the link content)
+ 4	block device	16/16 bits major/minor number
+ 5	char device		    - " -
+ 6	socket		unused, MBZ
+ 7	fifo		unused, MBZ
+==	=============== ============================================
+
+Note that hard links are specifically marked in this filesystem, but
+they will behave as you can expect (i.e. share the inode number).
+Note also that it is your responsibility to not create hard link
+loops, and creating all the . and .. links for directories.  This is
+normally done correctly by the genromfs program.  Please refrain from
+using the executable bits for special purposes on the socket and fifo
+special files, they may have other uses in the future.  Additionally,
+please remember that only regular files, and symlinks are supposed to
+have a nonzero size field; they contain the number of bytes available
+directly after the (padded) file name.
+
+Another thing to note is that romfs works on file headers and data
+aligned to 16 byte boundaries, but most hardware devices and the block
+device drivers are unable to cope with smaller than block-sized data.
+To overcome this limitation, the whole size of the file system must be
+padded to an 1024 byte boundary.
+
+If you have any problems or suggestions concerning this file system,
+please contact me.  However, think twice before wanting me to add
+features and code, because the primary and most important advantage of
+this file system is the small code.  On the other hand, don't be
+alarmed, I'm not getting that much romfs related mail.  Now I can
+understand why Avery wrote poems in the ARCnet docs to get some more
+feedback. :)
+
+romfs has also a mailing list, and to date, it hasn't received any
+traffic, so you are welcome to join it to discuss your ideas. :)
+
+It's run by ezmlm, so you can subscribe to it by sending a message
+to romfs-subscribe@shadow.banki.hu, the content is irrelevant.
+
+Pending issues:
+
+- Permissions and owner information are pretty essential features of a
+  Un*x like system, but romfs does not provide the full possibilities.
+  I have never found this limiting, but others might.
+
+- The file system is read only, so it can be very small, but in case
+  one would want to write _anything_ to a file system, he still needs
+  a writable file system, thus negating the size advantages.  Possible
+  solutions: implement write access as a compile-time option, or a new,
+  similarly small writable filesystem for RAM disks.
+
+- Since the files are only required to have alignment on a 16 byte
+  boundary, it is currently possibly suboptimal to read or execute files
+  from the filesystem.  It might be resolved by reordering file data to
+  have most of it (i.e. except the start and the end) laying at "natural"
+  boundaries, thus it would be possible to directly map a big portion of
+  the file contents to the mm subsystem.
+
+- Compression might be an useful feature, but memory is quite a
+  limiting factor in my eyes.
+
+- Where it is used?
+
+- Does it work on other architectures than intel and motorola?
+
+
+Have fun,
+
+Janos Farkas <chexum@shadow.banki.hu>
