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.

+===========================================
+IOSM Driver for Intel M.2 PCIe based Modems
+===========================================
+The IOSM (IPC over Shared Memory) driver is a WWAN PCIe host driver developed
+for linux or chrome platform for data exchange over PCIe interface between
+Host platform & Intel M.2 Modem. The driver exposes interface conforming to the
+MBIM protocol [1]. Any front end application ( eg: Modem Manager) could easily
+manage the MBIM interface to enable data communication towards WWAN.
+
+Basic usage
+===========
+MBIM functions are inactive when unmanaged. The IOSM driver only provides a
+userspace interface MBIM "WWAN PORT" representing MBIM control channel and does
+not play any role in managing the functionality. It is the job of a userspace
+application to detect port enumeration and enable MBIM functionality.
+
+Examples of few such userspace application are:
+- mbimcli (included with the libmbim [2] library), and
+- Modem Manager [3]
+
+Management Applications to carry out below required actions for establishing
+MBIM IP session:
+- open the MBIM control channel
+- configure network connection settings
+- connect to network
+- configure IP network interface
+
+Management application development
+==================================
+The driver and userspace interfaces are described below. The MBIM protocol is
+described in [1] Mobile Broadband Interface Model v1.0 Errata-1.
+
+MBIM control channel userspace ABI
+----------------------------------
+
+/dev/wwan0mbim0 character device
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The driver exposes an MBIM interface to the MBIM function by implementing
+MBIM WWAN Port. The userspace end of the control channel pipe is a
+/dev/wwan0mbim0 character device. Application shall use this interface for
+MBIM protocol communication.
+
+Fragmentation
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The userspace application is responsible for all control message fragmentation
+and defragmentation as per MBIM specification.
+
+/dev/wwan0mbim0 write()
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The MBIM control messages from the management application must not exceed the
+negotiated control message size.
+
+/dev/wwan0mbim0 read()
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The management application must accept control messages of up the negotiated
+control message size.
+
+MBIM data channel userspace ABI
+-------------------------------
+
+wwan0-X network device
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The IOSM driver exposes IP link interface "wwan0-X" of type "wwan" for IP
+traffic. Iproute network utility is used for creating "wwan0-X" network
+interface and for associating it with MBIM IP session. The Driver supports
+up to 8 IP sessions for simultaneous IP communication.
+
+The userspace management application is responsible for creating new IP link
+prior to establishing MBIM IP session where the SessionId is greater than 0.
+
+For example, creating new IP link for a MBIM IP session with SessionId 1:
+
+ ip link add dev wwan0-1 parentdev-name wwan0 type wwan linkid 1
+
+The driver will automatically map the "wwan0-1" network device to MBIM IP
+session 1.

+t7xx driver for MTK PCIe based T700 5G modem
+============================================
+The t7xx driver is a WWAN PCIe host driver developed for linux or Chrome OS platforms
+for data exchange over PCIe interface between Host platform & MediaTek's T700 5G modem.
+The driver exposes an interface conforming to the MBIM protocol [1]. Any front end
+application (e.g. Modem Manager) could easily manage the MBIM interface to enable
+data communication towards WWAN. The driver also provides an interface to interact
+with the MediaTek's modem via AT commands.
+
+Basic usage
+===========
+MBIM & AT functions are inactive when unmanaged. The t7xx driver provides
+WWAN port userspace interfaces representing MBIM & AT control channels and does
+not play any role in managing their functionality. It is the job of a userspace
+application to detect port enumeration and enable MBIM & AT functionalities.

+- configure network connection settings
+- connect to network
+- configure IP network interface
+
+Management Applications to carry out below required actions for send an AT
+command and receive response:
+
+- open the AT control channel using a UART tool or a special user tool
