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.

+=========================================
+Kernel CAPI Interface to Hardware Drivers
+=========================================
+
+1. Overview
+===========
+
+From the CAPI 2.0 specification:
+COMMON-ISDN-API (CAPI) is an application programming interface standard used
+to access ISDN equipment connected to basic rate interfaces (BRI) and primary
+rate interfaces (PRI).
+
+Kernel CAPI operates as a dispatching layer between CAPI applications and CAPI
+hardware drivers. Hardware drivers register ISDN devices (controllers, in CAPI
+lingo) with Kernel CAPI to indicate their readiness to provide their service
+to CAPI applications. CAPI applications also register with Kernel CAPI,
+requesting association with a CAPI device. Kernel CAPI then dispatches the
+application registration to an available device, forwarding it to the
+corresponding hardware driver. Kernel CAPI then forwards CAPI messages in both
+directions between the application and the hardware driver.
+
+Format and semantics of CAPI messages are specified in the CAPI 2.0 standard.
+This standard is freely available from https://www.capi.org.
+
+
+2. Driver and Device Registration
+=================================
+
+CAPI drivers must register each of the ISDN devices they control with Kernel
+CAPI by calling the Kernel CAPI function attach_capi_ctr() with a pointer to a
+struct capi_ctr before they can be used. This structure must be filled with
+the names of the driver and controller, and a number of callback function
+pointers which are subsequently used by Kernel CAPI for communicating with the
+driver. The registration can be revoked by calling the function
+detach_capi_ctr() with a pointer to the same struct capi_ctr.
+
+Before the device can be actually used, the driver must fill in the device
+information fields 'manu', 'version', 'profile' and 'serial' in the capi_ctr
+structure of the device, and signal its readiness by calling capi_ctr_ready().
+From then on, Kernel CAPI may call the registered callback functions for the
+device.
+
+If the device becomes unusable for any reason (shutdown, disconnect ...), the
+driver has to call capi_ctr_down(). This will prevent further calls to the
+callback functions by Kernel CAPI.
+
+
+3. Application Registration and Communication
+=============================================
+
+Kernel CAPI forwards registration requests from applications (calls to CAPI
+operation CAPI_REGISTER) to an appropriate hardware driver by calling its
+register_appl() callback function. A unique Application ID (ApplID, u16) is
+allocated by Kernel CAPI and passed to register_appl() along with the
+parameter structure provided by the application. This is analogous to the
+open() operation on regular files or character devices.
+
+After a successful return from register_appl(), CAPI messages from the
+application may be passed to the driver for the device via calls to the
+send_message() callback function. Conversely, the driver may call Kernel
+CAPI's capi_ctr_handle_message() function to pass a received CAPI message to
+Kernel CAPI for forwarding to an application, specifying its ApplID.
+
+Deregistration requests (CAPI operation CAPI_RELEASE) from applications are
+forwarded as calls to the release_appl() callback function, passing the same
+ApplID as with register_appl(). After return from release_appl(), no CAPI
+messages for that application may be passed to or from the device anymore.
+
+
+4. Data Structures
+==================
+
+4.1 struct capi_driver
+----------------------
+
+This structure describes a Kernel CAPI driver itself. It is used in the
+register_capi_driver() and unregister_capi_driver() functions, and contains
+the following non-private fields, all to be set by the driver before calling
+register_capi_driver():
+
+``char name[32]``
+ the name of the driver, as a zero-terminated ASCII string
+``char revision[32]``
+ the revision number of the driver, as a zero-terminated ASCII string
+
+4.2 struct capi_ctr
+-------------------
+
+This structure describes an ISDN device (controller) handled by a Kernel CAPI
+driver. After registration via the attach_capi_ctr() function it is passed to
+all controller specific lower layer interface and callback functions to
+identify the controller to operate on.
+
+It contains the following non-private fields:
+
+to be set by the driver before calling attach_capi_ctr():
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+``struct module *owner``
+ pointer to the driver module owning the device
+
+``void *driverdata``
+ an opaque pointer to driver specific data, not touched by Kernel CAPI
+
+``char name[32]``
+ the name of the controller, as a zero-terminated ASCII string
+
+``char *driver_name``
+ the name of the driver, as a zero-terminated ASCII string
+
+``int (*load_firmware)(struct capi_ctr *ctrlr, capiloaddata *ldata)``
+ (optional) pointer to a callback function for sending firmware and
+ configuration data to the device
+
+ The function may return before the operation has completed.
+
+ Completion must be signalled by a call to capi_ctr_ready().
+
+ Return value: 0 on success, error code on error
+ Called in process context.
+
+``void (*reset_ctr)(struct capi_ctr *ctrlr)``
+ (optional) pointer to a callback function for stopping the device,
+ releasing all registered applications
+
+ The function may return before the operation has completed.
+
+ Completion must be signalled by a call to capi_ctr_down().
+
+ Called in process context.
+
+``void (*register_appl)(struct capi_ctr *ctrlr, u16 applid, capi_register_params *rparam)``
+ pointers to callback function for registration of
+ applications with the device
+
+ Calls to these functions are serialized by Kernel CAPI so that only
+ one call to any of them is active at any time.
+
+``void (*release_appl)(struct capi_ctr *ctrlr, u16 applid)``
+ pointers to callback functions deregistration of
+ applications with the device
+
+ Calls to these functions are serialized by Kernel CAPI so that only
+ one call to any of them is active at any time.
+
+``u16 (*send_message)(struct capi_ctr *ctrlr, struct sk_buff *skb)``
+ pointer to a callback function for sending a CAPI message to the
+ device
+
+ Return value: CAPI error code
+
+ If the method returns 0 (CAPI_NOERROR) the driver has taken ownership
+ of the skb and the caller may no longer access it. If it returns a
+ non-zero (error) value then ownership of the skb returns to the caller
+ who may reuse or free it.
+
+ The return value should only be used to signal problems with respect
+ to accepting or queueing the message. Errors occurring during the
+ actual processing of the message should be signaled with an
+ appropriate reply message.
+
+ May be called in process or interrupt context.
+
+ Calls to this function are not serialized by Kernel CAPI, ie. it must
+ be prepared to be re-entered.
+
+``char *(*procinfo)(struct capi_ctr *ctrlr)``
+ pointer to a callback function returning the entry for the device in
+ the CAPI controller info table, /proc/capi/controller
+
+Note:
+ Callback functions except send_message() are never called in interrupt
+ context.
+
+to be filled in before calling capi_ctr_ready():
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+``u8 manu[CAPI_MANUFACTURER_LEN]``
+ value to return for CAPI_GET_MANUFACTURER
+
+``capi_version version``
+ value to return for CAPI_GET_VERSION
+
+``capi_profile profile``
+ value to return for CAPI_GET_PROFILE
+
+``u8 serial[CAPI_SERIAL_LEN]``
+ value to return for CAPI_GET_SERIAL
+
+
+4.3 SKBs
+--------
+
+CAPI messages are passed between Kernel CAPI and the driver via send_message()
+and capi_ctr_handle_message(), stored in the data portion of a socket buffer
+(skb). Each skb contains a single CAPI message coded according to the CAPI 2.0
+standard.
+
+For the data transfer messages, DATA_B3_REQ and DATA_B3_IND, the actual
+payload data immediately follows the CAPI message itself within the same skb.
+The Data and Data64 parameters are not used for processing. The Data64
+parameter may be omitted by setting the length field of the CAPI message to 22
+instead of 30.
+
+
+4.4 The _cmsg Structure
+-----------------------
+
+(declared in <linux/isdn/capiutil.h>)
+
+The _cmsg structure stores the contents of a CAPI 2.0 message in an easily
+accessible form. It contains members for all possible CAPI 2.0 parameters,
+including subparameters of the Additional Info and B Protocol structured
+parameters, with the following exceptions:
+
+* second Calling party number (CONNECT_IND)
+
+* Data64 (DATA_B3_REQ and DATA_B3_IND)
+
+* Sending complete (subparameter of Additional Info, CONNECT_REQ and INFO_REQ)
+
+* Global Configuration (subparameter of B Protocol, CONNECT_REQ, CONNECT_RESP
+ and SELECT_B_PROTOCOL_REQ)
+
+Only those parameters appearing in the message type currently being processed
+are actually used. Unused members should be set to zero.
+
+Members are named after the CAPI 2.0 standard names of the parameters they
+represent. See <linux/isdn/capiutil.h> for the exact spelling. Member data
+types are:
+
+=========== =================================================================
+u8 for CAPI parameters of type 'byte'
+
+u16 for CAPI parameters of type 'word'
+
+u32 for CAPI parameters of type 'dword'
+
+_cstruct for CAPI parameters of type 'struct'
+ The member is a pointer to a buffer containing the parameter in
+ CAPI encoding (length + content). It may also be NULL, which will
+ be taken to represent an empty (zero length) parameter.
+ Subparameters are stored in encoded form within the content part.
+
+_cmstruct alternative representation for CAPI parameters of type 'struct'
+ (used only for the 'Additional Info' and 'B Protocol' parameters)
+ The representation is a single byte containing one of the values:
+ CAPI_DEFAULT: The parameter is empty/absent.
+ CAPI_COMPOSE: The parameter is present.
+ Subparameter values are stored individually in the corresponding
+ _cmsg structure members.
+=========== =================================================================
+
+
+5. Lower Layer Interface Functions
+==================================
+
+::
+
+ int attach_capi_ctr(struct capi_ctr *ctrlr)
+ int detach_capi_ctr(struct capi_ctr *ctrlr)
+
+register/unregister a device (controller) with Kernel CAPI
+
+::
+
+ void capi_ctr_ready(struct capi_ctr *ctrlr)
+ void capi_ctr_down(struct capi_ctr *ctrlr)
+
+signal controller ready/not ready
+
+::
+
+ void capi_ctr_handle_message(struct capi_ctr * ctrlr, u16 applid,
+ struct sk_buff *skb)
+
+pass a received CAPI message to Kernel CAPI
+for forwarding to the specified application
+
+
+6. Helper Functions and Macros
+==============================
+
+Macros to extract/set element values from/in a CAPI message header
+(from <linux/isdn/capiutil.h>):
+
+====================== ============================= ====================
+Get Macro Set Macro Element (Type)
+====================== ============================= ====================
+CAPIMSG_LEN(m) CAPIMSG_SETLEN(m, len) Total Length (u16)
+CAPIMSG_APPID(m) CAPIMSG_SETAPPID(m, applid) ApplID (u16)
+CAPIMSG_COMMAND(m) CAPIMSG_SETCOMMAND(m,cmd) Command (u8)
+CAPIMSG_SUBCOMMAND(m) CAPIMSG_SETSUBCOMMAND(m, cmd) Subcommand (u8)
+CAPIMSG_CMD(m) - Command*256
+ + Subcommand (u16)
+CAPIMSG_MSGID(m) CAPIMSG_SETMSGID(m, msgid) Message Number (u16)
+
+CAPIMSG_CONTROL(m) CAPIMSG_SETCONTROL(m, contr) Controller/PLCI/NCCI
+ (u32)
+CAPIMSG_DATALEN(m) CAPIMSG_SETDATALEN(m, len) Data Length (u16)
+====================== ============================= ====================
+
+
+Library functions for working with _cmsg structures
+(from <linux/isdn/capiutil.h>):
+
+``char *capi_cmd2str(u8 Command, u8 Subcommand)``
+ Returns the CAPI 2.0 message name corresponding to the given command
+ and subcommand values, as a static ASCII string. The return value may
+ be NULL if the command/subcommand is not one of those defined in the
+ CAPI 2.0 standard.
+
+
+7. Debugging
+============
+
+The module kernelcapi has a module parameter showcapimsgs controlling some
+debugging output produced by the module. It can only be set when the module is
+loaded, via a parameter "showcapimsgs=<n>" to the modprobe command, either on
+the command line or in the configuration file.
+
+If the lowest bit of showcapimsgs is set, kernelcapi logs controller and
+application up and down events.
+
+In addition, every registered CAPI controller has an associated traceflag
+parameter controlling how CAPI messages sent from and to the controller are
+logged. The traceflag parameter is initialized with the value of the
+showcapimsgs parameter when the controller is registered, but can later be
+changed via the MANUFACTURER_REQ command KCAPI_CMD_TRACE.
+
+If the value of traceflag is non-zero, CAPI messages are logged.
+DATA_B3 messages are only logged if the value of traceflag is > 2.
+
+If the lowest bit of traceflag is set, only the command/subcommand and message
+length are logged. Otherwise, kernelcapi logs a readable representation of
+the entire message.

+mISDN Driver
+============
+
+mISDN is a new modular ISDN driver, in the long term it should replace
