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.

+=================
+The UCAN Protocol
+=================
+
+UCAN is the protocol used by the microcontroller-based USB-CAN
+adapter that is integrated on System-on-Modules from Theobroma Systems
+and that is also available as a standalone USB stick.
+
+The UCAN protocol has been designed to be hardware-independent.
+It is modeled closely after how Linux represents CAN devices
+internally. All multi-byte integers are encoded as Little Endian.
+
+All structures mentioned in this document are defined in
+``drivers/net/can/usb/ucan.c``.
+
+USB Endpoints
+=============
+
+UCAN devices use three USB endpoints:
+
+CONTROL endpoint
+ The driver sends device management commands on this endpoint
+
+IN endpoint
+ The device sends CAN data frames and CAN error frames
+
+OUT endpoint
+ The driver sends CAN data frames on the out endpoint
+
+
+CONTROL Messages
+================
+
+UCAN devices are configured using vendor requests on the control pipe.
+
+To support multiple CAN interfaces in a single USB device all
+configuration commands target the corresponding interface in the USB
+descriptor.
+
+The driver uses ``ucan_ctrl_command_in/out`` and
+``ucan_device_request_in`` to deliver commands to the device.
+
+Setup Packet
+------------
+
+================= =====================================================
+``bmRequestType`` Direction | Vendor | (Interface or Device)
+``bRequest`` Command Number
+``wValue`` Subcommand Number (16 Bit) or 0 if not used
+``wIndex`` USB Interface Index (0 for device commands)
+``wLength`` * Host to Device - Number of bytes to transmit
+ * Device to Host - Maximum Number of bytes to
+ receive. If the device send less. Common ZLP
+ semantics are used.

+
+IN Message Format
+=================
+
+A data packet on the USB IN endpoint contains one or more
+``ucan_message_in`` values. If multiple messages are batched in a USB
+data packet, the ``len`` field can be used to jump to the next
+``ucan_message_in`` value (take care to sanity-check the ``len`` value
+against the actual data size).
+
+.. _can_ucan_in_message_len:
+
+``len`` field
+-------------
+
+Each ``ucan_message_in`` must be aligned to a 4-byte boundary (relative
+to the start of the start of the data buffer). That means that there
+may be padding bytes between multiple ``ucan_message_in`` values:
+
+.. code::
+
+ +----------------------------+ < 0
+ | |
+ | struct ucan_message_in |
+ | |
+ +----------------------------+ < len
+ [padding]
+ +----------------------------+ < round_up(len, 4)
+ | |
+ | struct ucan_message_in |
+ | |
+ +----------------------------+
+ [...]
+
+``type`` field
+--------------
+
+The ``type`` field specifies the type of the message.
+
+UCAN_IN_RX
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+``subtype``
+ zero
+
+Data received from the CAN bus (ID + payload).
+
+UCAN_IN_TX_COMPLETE
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+``subtype``
+ zero
+
+The CAN device has sent a message to the CAN bus. It answers with a
+list of tuples <echo-ids, flags>.
+
+The echo-id identifies the frame from (echos the id from a previous
+UCAN_OUT_TX message). The flag indicates the result of the
+transmission. Whereas a set Bit 0 indicates success. All other bits
+are reserved and set to zero.
+
+Flow Control
+------------
+
+When receiving CAN messages there is no flow control on the USB
+buffer. The driver has to handle inbound message quickly enough to
+avoid drops. I case the device buffer overflow the condition is
+reported by sending corresponding error frames (see
+:ref:`can_ucan_error_handling`)
+
+
+OUT Message Format
+==================
+
+A data packet on the USB OUT endpoint contains one or more ``struct
+ucan_message_out`` values. If multiple messages are batched into one
+data packet, the device uses the ``len`` field to jump to the next
+ucan_message_out value. Each ucan_message_out must be aligned to 4
+bytes (relative to the start of the data buffer). The mechanism is
+same as described in :ref:`can_ucan_in_message_len`.
+
+.. code::
+
+ +----------------------------+ < 0
+ | |
+ | struct ucan_message_out |
+ | |
+ +----------------------------+ < len
+ [padding]
+ +----------------------------+ < round_up(len, 4)
+ | |
+ | struct ucan_message_out |
+ | |
+ +----------------------------+
+ [...]
+
+``type`` field
+--------------
+
+In protocol version 3 only ``UCAN_OUT_TX`` is defined, others are used
+only by legacy devices (protocol version 1).
+
+UCAN_OUT_TX
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+``subtype``
+ echo id to be replied within a CAN_IN_TX_COMPLETE message
+
+Transmit a CAN frame. (parameters: ``id``, ``data``)
+
+Flow Control
+------------
+
+When the device outbound buffers are full it starts sending *NAKs* on
+the *OUT* pipe until more buffers are available. The driver stops the
+queue when a certain threshold of out packets are incomplete.
+
+.. _can_ucan_error_handling:
+
+CAN Error Handling
+==================
+
+If error reporting is turned on the device encodes errors into CAN
+error frames (see ``uapi/linux/can/error.h``) and sends it using the
+IN endpoint. The driver updates its error statistics and forwards
+it.
+
+Although UCAN devices can suppress error frames completely, in Linux
+the driver is always interested. Hence, the device is always started with
+the ``UCAN_MODE_BERR_REPORT`` set. Filtering those messages for the
+user space is done by the driver.
+
+Bus OFF
+-------
+
+- The device does not recover from bus of automatically.
+- Bus OFF is indicated by an error frame (see ``uapi/linux/can/error.h``)
+- Bus OFF recovery is started by ``UCAN_COMMAND_RESTART``
+- Once Bus OFF recover is completed the device sends an error frame
+ indicating that it is on ERROR-ACTIVE state.
+- During Bus OFF no frames are sent by the device.
+- During Bus OFF transmission requests from the host are completed
+ immediately with the success bit left unset.
