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.

+ice devlink support
+===================
+
+This document describes the devlink features implemented by the ``ice``
+device driver.
+
+Info versions
+=============
+
+The ``ice`` driver reports the following versions
+
+.. list-table:: devlink info versions implemented
+    :widths: 5 5 5 90
+
+    * - Name
+      - Type
+      - Example
+      - Description
+    * - ``board.id``
+      - fixed
+      - K65390-000
+      - The Product Board Assembly (PBA) identifier of the board.
+    * - ``fw.mgmt``
+      - running
+      - 2.1.7
+      - 3-digit version number of the management firmware running on the
+        Embedded Management Processor of the device. It controls the PHY,
+        link, access to device resources, etc. Intel documentation refers to
+        this as the EMP firmware.
+    * - ``fw.mgmt.api``
+      - running
+      - 1.5.1
+      - 3-digit version number (major.minor.patch) of the API exported over
+        the AdminQ by the management firmware. Used by the driver to
+        identify what commands are supported. Historical versions of the
+        kernel only displayed a 2-digit version number (major.minor).
+    * - ``fw.mgmt.build``
+      - running
+      - 0x305d955f
+      - Unique identifier of the source for the management firmware.
+    * - ``fw.undi``
+      - running
+      - 1.2581.0
+      - Version of the Option ROM containing the UEFI driver. The version is
+        reported in ``major.minor.patch`` format. The major version is
+        incremented whenever a major breaking change occurs, or when the
+        minor version would overflow. The minor version is incremented for
+        non-breaking changes and reset to 1 when the major version is
+        incremented. The patch version is normally 0 but is incremented when
+        a fix is delivered as a patch against an older base Option ROM.
+    * - ``fw.psid.api``
+      - running
+      - 0.80
+      - Version defining the format of the flash contents.
+    * - ``fw.bundle_id``
+      - running
+      - 0x80002ec0
+      - Unique identifier of the firmware image file that was loaded onto
+        the device. Also referred to as the EETRACK identifier of the NVM.
+    * - ``fw.app.name``
+      - running
+      - ICE OS Default Package
+      - The name of the DDP package that is active in the device. The DDP
+        package is loaded by the driver during initialization. Each
+        variation of the DDP package has a unique name.
+    * - ``fw.app``
+      - running
+      - 1.3.1.0
+      - The version of the DDP package that is active in the device. Note
+        that both the name (as reported by ``fw.app.name``) and version are
+        required to uniquely identify the package.
+    * - ``fw.app.bundle_id``
+      - running
+      - 0xc0000001
+      - Unique identifier for the DDP package loaded in the device. Also
+        referred to as the DDP Track ID. Can be used to uniquely identify
+        the specific DDP package.
+    * - ``fw.netlist``
+      - running
+      - 1.1.2000-6.7.0
+      - The version of the netlist module. This module defines the device's
+        Ethernet capabilities and default settings, and is used by the
+        management firmware as part of managing link and device
+        connectivity.
+    * - ``fw.netlist.build``
+      - running
+      - 0xee16ced7
+      - The first 4 bytes of the hash of the netlist module contents.
+
+Flash Update
+============
+
+The ``ice`` driver implements support for flash update using the
+``devlink-flash`` interface. It supports updating the device flash using a
+combined flash image that contains the ``fw.mgmt``, ``fw.undi``, and
+``fw.netlist`` components.
+
+.. list-table:: List of supported overwrite modes
+   :widths: 5 95
+
+   * - Bits
+     - Behavior
+   * - ``DEVLINK_FLASH_OVERWRITE_SETTINGS``
+     - Do not preserve settings stored in the flash components being
+       updated. This includes overwriting the port configuration that
+       determines the number of physical functions the device will
+       initialize with.
+   * - ``DEVLINK_FLASH_OVERWRITE_SETTINGS`` and ``DEVLINK_FLASH_OVERWRITE_IDENTIFIERS``
+     - Do not preserve either settings or identifiers. Overwrite everything
+       in the flash with the contents from the provided image, without
+       performing any preservation. This includes overwriting device
+       identifying fields such as the MAC address, VPD area, and device
+       serial number. It is expected that this combination be used with an
+       image customized for the specific device.
+
+The ice hardware does not support overwriting only identifiers while
+preserving settings, and thus ``DEVLINK_FLASH_OVERWRITE_IDENTIFIERS`` on its
+own will be rejected. If no overwrite mask is provided, the firmware will be
+instructed to preserve all settings and identifying fields when updating.
+
+Reload
+======
+
+The ``ice`` driver supports activating new firmware after a flash update
+using ``DEVLINK_CMD_RELOAD`` with the ``DEVLINK_RELOAD_ACTION_FW_ACTIVATE``
+action.
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+    $ devlink dev reload pci/0000:01:00.0 reload action fw_activate
+
+The new firmware is activated by issuing a device specific Embedded
+Management Processor reset which requests the device to reset and reload the
+EMP firmware image.
+
+The driver does not currently support reloading the driver via
+``DEVLINK_RELOAD_ACTION_DRIVER_REINIT``.
+
+Port split
+==========
+
+The ``ice`` driver supports port splitting only for port 0, as the FW has
+a predefined set of available port split options for the whole device.
+
+A system reboot is required for port split to be applied.
+
+The following command will select the port split option with 4 ports:
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+    $ devlink port split pci/0000:16:00.0/0 count 4
+
+The list of all available port options will be printed to dynamic debug after
+each ``split`` and ``unsplit`` command. The first option is the default.
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+    ice 0000:16:00.0: Available port split options and max port speeds (Gbps):
+    ice 0000:16:00.0: Status  Split      Quad 0          Quad 1
+    ice 0000:16:00.0:         count  L0  L1  L2  L3  L4  L5  L6  L7
+    ice 0000:16:00.0: Active  2     100   -   -   - 100   -   -   -
+    ice 0000:16:00.0:         2      50   -  50   -   -   -   -   -
+    ice 0000:16:00.0: Pending 4      25  25  25  25   -   -   -   -
+    ice 0000:16:00.0:         4      25  25   -   -  25  25   -   -
+    ice 0000:16:00.0:         8      10  10  10  10  10  10  10  10
+    ice 0000:16:00.0:         1     100   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
+
+There could be multiple FW port options with the same port split count. When
+the same port split count request is issued again, the next FW port option with
+the same port split count will be selected.
+
+``devlink port unsplit`` will select the option with a split count of 1. If
+there is no FW option available with split count 1, you will receive an error.
+
+Regions
+=======
+
+The ``ice`` driver implements the following regions for accessing internal
+device data.
+
+.. list-table:: regions implemented
+    :widths: 15 85
+
+    * - Name
+      - Description
+    * - ``nvm-flash``
+      - The contents of the entire flash chip, sometimes referred to as
+        the device's Non Volatile Memory.
+    * - ``shadow-ram``
+      - The contents of the Shadow RAM, which is loaded from the beginning
+        of the flash. Although the contents are primarily from the flash,
+        this area also contains data generated during device boot which is
+        not stored in flash.
+    * - ``device-caps``
+      - The contents of the device firmware's capabilities buffer. Useful to
+        determine the current state and configuration of the device.
+
+Both the ``nvm-flash`` and ``shadow-ram`` regions can be accessed without a
+snapshot. The ``device-caps`` region requires a snapshot as the contents are
+sent by firmware and can't be split into separate reads.
+
+Users can request an immediate capture of a snapshot for all three regions
+via the ``DEVLINK_CMD_REGION_NEW`` command.
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+    $ devlink region show

+Devlink Rate
+============
+
+The ``ice`` driver implements devlink-rate API. It allows for offload of
+the Hierarchical QoS to the hardware. It enables user to group Virtual
+Functions in a tree structure and assign supported parameters: tx_share,
+tx_max, tx_priority and tx_weight to each node in a tree. So effectively
+user gains an ability to control how much bandwidth is allocated for each
+VF group. This is later enforced by the HW.
+
+It is assumed that this feature is mutually exclusive with DCB performed
+in FW and ADQ, or any driver feature that would trigger changes in QoS,
+for example creation of the new traffic class. The driver will prevent DCB
+or ADQ configuration if user started making any changes to the nodes using
+devlink-rate API. To configure those features a driver reload is necessary.
+Correspondingly if ADQ or DCB will get configured the driver won't export
+hierarchy at all, or will remove the untouched hierarchy if those
+features are enabled after the hierarchy is exported, but before any
+changes are made.
+
+This feature is also dependent on switchdev being enabled in the system.
+It's required because devlink-rate requires devlink-port objects to be
+present, and those objects are only created in switchdev mode.
+
+If the driver is set to the switchdev mode, it will export internal
+hierarchy the moment VF's are created. Root of the tree is always
+represented by the node_0. This node can't be deleted by the user. Leaf
+nodes and nodes with children also can't be deleted.

+.. list-table:: Attributes supported
+    :widths: 15 85
+
+    * - Name
+      - Description
+    * - ``tx_max``
+      - maximum bandwidth to be consumed by the tree Node. Rate Limit is
+        an absolute number specifying a maximum amount of bytes a Node may
+        consume during the course of one second. Rate limit guarantees
+        that a link will not oversaturate the receiver on the remote end
+        and also enforces an SLA between the subscriber and network
+        provider.
+    * - ``tx_share``
+      - minimum bandwidth allocated to a tree node when it is not blocked.
+        It specifies an absolute BW. While tx_max defines the maximum
+        bandwidth the node may consume, the tx_share marks committed BW
+        for the Node.
+    * - ``tx_priority``
+      - allows for usage of strict priority arbiter among siblings. This
+        arbitration scheme attempts to schedule nodes based on their
+        priority as long as the nodes remain within their bandwidth limit.
+        Range 0-7. Nodes with priority 7 have the highest priority and are
+        selected first, while nodes with priority 0 have the lowest
+        priority. Nodes that have the same priority are treated equally.
+    * - ``tx_weight``
+      - allows for usage of Weighted Fair Queuing arbitration scheme among
+        siblings. This arbitration scheme can be used simultaneously with
+        the strict priority. Range 1-200. Only relative values matter for
+        arbitration.
+
+``tx_priority`` and ``tx_weight`` can be used simultaneously. In that case
+nodes with the same priority form a WFQ subgroup in the sibling group
+and arbitration among them is based on assigned weights.
