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. New hardware / drivers: - Ethernet: - nVidia BlueField-3 support (control traffic driver) - Ethernet support for imx93 SoCs - Motorcomm yt8531 gigabit Ethernet PHY - onsemi NCN26000 10BASE-T1S PHY (with support for PLCA) - Microchip LAN8841 PHY (incl. cable diagnostics and PTP) - Amlogic gxl MDIO mux - WiFi: - RealTek RTL8188EU (rtl8xxxu) - Qualcomm Wi-Fi 7 devices (ath12k) - CAN: - Renesas R-Car V4H Drivers: - Bluetooth: - Set Per Platform Antenna Gain (PPAG) for Intel controllers. - Ethernet NICs: - Intel (1G, igc): - support TSN / Qbv / packet scheduling features of i226 model - Intel (100G, ice): - use GNSS subsystem instead of TTY - multi-buffer XDP support - extend support for GPIO pins to E823 devices - nVidia/Mellanox: - update the shared buffer configuration on PFC commands - implement PTP adjphase function for HW offset control - TC support for Geneve and GRE with VF tunnel offload - more efficient crypto key management method - multi-port eswitch support - Netronome/Corigine: - add DCB IEEE support - support IPsec offloading for NFP3800 - Freescale/NXP (enetc): - support XDP_REDIRECT for XDP non-linear buffers - improve reconfig, avoid link flap and waiting for idle - support MAC Merge layer - Other NICs: - sfc/ef100: add basic devlink support for ef100 - ionic: rx_push mode operation (writing descriptors via MMIO) - bnxt: use the auxiliary bus abstraction for RDMA - r8169: disable ASPM and reset bus in case of tx timeout - cpsw: support QSGMII mode for J721e CPSW9G - cpts: support pulse-per-second output - ngbe: add an mdio bus driver - usbnet: optimize usbnet_bh() by avoiding unnecessary queuing - r8152: handle devices with FW with NCM support - amd-xgbe: support 10Mbps, 2.5GbE speeds and rx-adaptation - virtio-net: support multi buffer XDP - virtio/vsock: replace virtio_vsock_pkt with sk_buff - tsnep: XDP support - Ethernet high-speed switches: - nVidia/Mellanox (mlxsw): - add support for latency TLV (in FW control messages) - Microchip (sparx5): - separate explicit and implicit traffic forwarding rules, make the implicit rules always active - add support for egress DSCP rewrite - IS0 VCAP support (Ingress Classification) - IS2 VCAP filters (protos, L3 addrs, L4 ports, flags, ToS etc.) - ES2 VCAP support (Egress Access Control) - support for Per-Stream Filtering and Policing (802.1Q, 8.6.5.1) - Ethernet embedded switches: - Marvell (mv88e6xxx): - add MAB (port auth) offload support - enable PTP receive for mv88e6390 - NXP (ocelot): - support MAC Merge layer - support for the the vsc7512 internal copper phys - Microchip: - lan9303: convert to PHYLINK - lan966x: support TC flower filter statistics - lan937x: PTP support for KSZ9563/KSZ8563 and LAN937x - lan937x: support Credit Based Shaper configuration - ksz9477: support Energy Efficient Ethernet - other: - qca8k: convert to regmap read/write API, use bulk operations - rswitch: Improve TX timestamp accuracy - Intel WiFi (iwlwifi): - EHT (Wi-Fi 7) rate reporting - STEP equalizer support: transfer some STEP (connection to radio on platforms with integrated wifi) related parameters from the BIOS to the firmware. - Qualcomm 802.11ax WiFi (ath11k): - IPQ5018 support - Fine Timing Measurement (FTM) responder role support - channel 177 support - MediaTek WiFi (mt76): - per-PHY LED support - mt7996: EHT (Wi-Fi 7) support - Wireless Ethernet Dispatch (WED) reset support - switch to using page pool allocator - RealTek WiFi (rtw89): - support new version of Bluetooth co-existance - Mobile: - rmnet: support TX aggregation" * tag 'net-next-6.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next: (1872 commits) page_pool: add a comment explaining the fragment counter usage net: ethtool: fix __ethtool_dev_mm_supported() implementation ethtool: pse-pd: Fix double word in comments xsk: add linux/vmalloc.h to xsk.c sefltests: netdevsim: wait for devlink instance after netns removal selftest: fib_tests: Always cleanup before exit net/mlx5e: Align IPsec ASO result memory to be as required by hardware net/mlx5e: TC, Set CT miss to the specific ct action instance net/mlx5e: Rename CHAIN_TO_REG to MAPPED_OBJ_TO_REG net/mlx5: Refactor tc miss handling to a single function net/mlx5: Kconfig: Make tc offload depend on tc skb extension net/sched: flower: Support hardware miss to tc action net/sched: flower: Move filter handle initialization earlier net/sched: cls_api: Support hardware miss to tc action net/sched: Rename user cookie and act cookie sfc: fix builds without CONFIG_RTC_LIB sfc: clean up some inconsistent indentings net/mlx4_en: Introduce flexible array to silence overflow warning net: lan966x: Fix possible deadlock inside PTP net/ulp: Remove redundant ->clone() test in inet_clone_ulp(). ...

+==================
+The SMBus Protocol
+==================
+
+The following is a summary of the SMBus protocol. It applies to
+all revisions of the protocol (1.0, 1.1, and 2.0).
+Certain protocol features which are not supported by
+this package are briefly described at the end of this document.
+
+Some adapters understand only the SMBus (System Management Bus) protocol,
+which is a subset from the I2C protocol. Fortunately, many devices use
+only the same subset, which makes it possible to put them on an SMBus.
+
+If you write a driver for some I2C device, please try to use the SMBus
+commands if at all possible (if the device uses only that subset of the
+I2C protocol). This makes it possible to use the device driver on both
+SMBus adapters and I2C adapters (the SMBus command set is automatically
+translated to I2C on I2C adapters, but plain I2C commands can not be
+handled at all on most pure SMBus adapters).
+
+Below is a list of SMBus protocol operations, and the functions executing
+them. Note that the names used in the SMBus protocol specifications usually
+don't match these function names. For some of the operations which pass a
+single data byte, the functions using SMBus protocol operation names execute
+a different protocol operation entirely.
+
+Each transaction type corresponds to a functionality flag. Before calling a
+transaction function, a device driver should always check (just once) for
+the corresponding functionality flag to ensure that the underlying I2C
+adapter supports the transaction in question. See
+Documentation/i2c/functionality.rst for the details.
+
+
+Key to symbols
+==============
+
+=============== =============================================================
+S Start condition
+Sr Repeated start condition, used to switch from write to
+ read mode.
+P Stop condition
+Rd/Wr (1 bit) Read/Write bit. Rd equals 1, Wr equals 0.
+A, NA (1 bit) Acknowledge (ACK) and Not Acknowledge (NACK) bit
+Addr (7 bits) I2C 7 bit address. Note that this can be expanded to
+ get a 10 bit I2C address.
+Comm (8 bits) Command byte, a data byte which often selects a register on
+ the device.
+Data (8 bits) A plain data byte. DataLow and DataHigh represent the low and
+ high byte of a 16 bit word.
+Count (8 bits) A data byte containing the length of a block operation.
+
+[..] Data sent by I2C device, as opposed to data sent by the host
+ adapter.
+=============== =============================================================
+
+
+SMBus Quick Command
+===================
+
+This sends a single bit to the device, at the place of the Rd/Wr bit::
+
+ S Addr Rd/Wr [A] P
+
+Functionality flag: I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_QUICK
+
+
+SMBus Receive Byte
+==================
+
+Implemented by i2c_smbus_read_byte()
+
+This reads a single byte from a device, without specifying a device
+register. Some devices are so simple that this interface is enough; for
+others, it is a shorthand if you want to read the same register as in
+the previous SMBus command::
+
+ S Addr Rd [A] [Data] NA P
+
+Functionality flag: I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_READ_BYTE
+
+
+SMBus Send Byte
+===============
+
+Implemented by i2c_smbus_write_byte()
+
+This operation is the reverse of Receive Byte: it sends a single byte
+to a device. See Receive Byte for more information.
+
+::
+
+ S Addr Wr [A] Data [A] P
+
+Functionality flag: I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_WRITE_BYTE
+
+
+SMBus Read Byte
+===============
+
+Implemented by i2c_smbus_read_byte_data()
+
+This reads a single byte from a device, from a designated register.
+The register is specified through the Comm byte::
+
+ S Addr Wr [A] Comm [A] Sr Addr Rd [A] [Data] NA P
+
+Functionality flag: I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_READ_BYTE_DATA
+
+
+SMBus Read Word
+===============
+
+Implemented by i2c_smbus_read_word_data()
+
+This operation is very like Read Byte; again, data is read from a
+device, from a designated register that is specified through the Comm
+byte. But this time, the data is a complete word (16 bits)::
+
+ S Addr Wr [A] Comm [A] Sr Addr Rd [A] [DataLow] A [DataHigh] NA P
+
+Functionality flag: I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_READ_WORD_DATA
+
+Note the convenience function i2c_smbus_read_word_swapped() is
+available for reads where the two data bytes are the other way
+around (not SMBus compliant, but very popular.)
+
+
+SMBus Write Byte
+================
+
+Implemented by i2c_smbus_write_byte_data()
+
+This writes a single byte to a device, to a designated register. The
+register is specified through the Comm byte. This is the opposite of
+the Read Byte operation.
+
+::
+
+ S Addr Wr [A] Comm [A] Data [A] P
+
+Functionality flag: I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_WRITE_BYTE_DATA
+
+
+SMBus Write Word
+================
+
+Implemented by i2c_smbus_write_word_data()
+
+This is the opposite of the Read Word operation. 16 bits
+of data are written to a device, to the designated register that is
+specified through the Comm byte::
+
+ S Addr Wr [A] Comm [A] DataLow [A] DataHigh [A] P
+
+Functionality flag: I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_WRITE_WORD_DATA
+
+Note the convenience function i2c_smbus_write_word_swapped() is
+available for writes where the two data bytes are the other way
+around (not SMBus compliant, but very popular.)
+
+
+SMBus Process Call
+==================
+
+This command selects a device register (through the Comm byte), sends
+16 bits of data to it, and reads 16 bits of data in return::
+
+ S Addr Wr [A] Comm [A] DataLow [A] DataHigh [A]
+ Sr Addr Rd [A] [DataLow] A [DataHigh] NA P
+
+Functionality flag: I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_PROC_CALL
+
+
+SMBus Block Read
+================
+
+Implemented by i2c_smbus_read_block_data()
+
+This command reads a block of up to 32 bytes from a device, from a
+designated register that is specified through the Comm byte. The amount
+of data is specified by the device in the Count byte.
+
+::
+
+ S Addr Wr [A] Comm [A]
+ Sr Addr Rd [A] [Count] A [Data] A [Data] A ... A [Data] NA P
+
+Functionality flag: I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_READ_BLOCK_DATA
+
+
+SMBus Block Write
+=================
+
+Implemented by i2c_smbus_write_block_data()
+
+The opposite of the Block Read command, this writes up to 32 bytes to
+a device, to a designated register that is specified through the
+Comm byte. The amount of data is specified in the Count byte.
+
+::
+
+ S Addr Wr [A] Comm [A] Count [A] Data [A] Data [A] ... [A] Data [A] P
+
+Functionality flag: I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_WRITE_BLOCK_DATA
+
+
+SMBus Block Write - Block Read Process Call
+===========================================
+
+SMBus Block Write - Block Read Process Call was introduced in
+Revision 2.0 of the specification.
+
+This command selects a device register (through the Comm byte), sends
+1 to 31 bytes of data to it, and reads 1 to 31 bytes of data in return::
+
+ S Addr Wr [A] Comm [A] Count [A] Data [A] ...
+ Sr Addr Rd [A] [Count] A [Data] ... A P
+
+Functionality flag: I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_BLOCK_PROC_CALL
+
+
+SMBus Host Notify
+=================
+
+This command is sent from a SMBus device acting as a master to the
+SMBus host acting as a slave.
+It is the same form as Write Word, with the command code replaced by the
+alerting device's address.
+
+::
+
+ [S] [HostAddr] [Wr] A [DevAddr] A [DataLow] A [DataHigh] A [P]
+
+This is implemented in the following way in the Linux kernel:
+
+* I2C bus drivers which support SMBus Host Notify should report
+ I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_HOST_NOTIFY.
+* I2C bus drivers trigger SMBus Host Notify by a call to
+ i2c_handle_smbus_host_notify().
+* I2C drivers for devices which can trigger SMBus Host Notify will have
+ client->irq assigned to a Host Notify IRQ if noone else specified an other.
+
+There is currently no way to retrieve the data parameter from the client.
+
+
+Packet Error Checking (PEC)
+===========================
+
+Packet Error Checking was introduced in Revision 1.1 of the specification.
+
+PEC adds a CRC-8 error-checking byte to transfers using it, immediately
+before the terminating STOP.
+
+
+Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
+=================================
+
+The Address Resolution Protocol was introduced in Revision 2.0 of
+the specification. It is a higher-layer protocol which uses the
+messages above.
+
+ARP adds device enumeration and dynamic address assignment to
+the protocol. All ARP communications use slave address 0x61 and
+require PEC checksums.
+
+
+SMBus Alert
+===========
+
+SMBus Alert was introduced in Revision 1.0 of the specification.
+
+The SMBus alert protocol allows several SMBus slave devices to share a
+single interrupt pin on the SMBus master, while still allowing the master
+to know which slave triggered the interrupt.
+
+This is implemented the following way in the Linux kernel:
+
+* I2C bus drivers which support SMBus alert should call
+ i2c_new_smbus_alert_device() to install SMBus alert support.
+* I2C drivers for devices which can trigger SMBus alerts should implement
+ the optional alert() callback.
+
+
+I2C Block Transactions
+======================
+
+The following I2C block transactions are similar to the SMBus Block Read
+and Write operations, except these do not have a Count byte. They are
+supported by the SMBus layer and are described here for completeness, but
+they are *NOT* defined by the SMBus specification.
+
+I2C block transactions do not limit the number of bytes transferred
+but the SMBus layer places a limit of 32 bytes.
+
+
+I2C Block Read
+==============
+
+Implemented by i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data()
+
+This command reads a block of bytes from a device, from a
+designated register that is specified through the Comm byte::
+
+ S Addr Wr [A] Comm [A]
+ Sr Addr Rd [A] [Data] A [Data] A ... A [Data] NA P
+
+Functionality flag: I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_READ_I2C_BLOCK
+
+
+I2C Block Write
+===============
+
+Implemented by i2c_smbus_write_i2c_block_data()
+
+The opposite of the Block Read command, this writes bytes to
+a device, to a designated register that is specified through the
+Comm byte. Note that command lengths of 0, 2, or more bytes are
+supported as they are indistinguishable from data.
+
+::
+
+ S Addr Wr [A] Comm [A] Data [A] Data [A] ... [A] Data [A] P
+
+Functionality flag: I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_WRITE_I2C_BLOCK
