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.

     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.

+=============
+CFS Scheduler
+=============
+
+
+1.  OVERVIEW
+============
+
+CFS stands for "Completely Fair Scheduler," and is the new "desktop" process
+scheduler implemented by Ingo Molnar and merged in Linux 2.6.23.  It is the
+replacement for the previous vanilla scheduler's SCHED_OTHER interactivity
+code.
+
+80% of CFS's design can be summed up in a single sentence: CFS basically models
+an "ideal, precise multi-tasking CPU" on real hardware.
+
+"Ideal multi-tasking CPU" is a (non-existent  :-)) CPU that has 100% physical
+power and which can run each task at precise equal speed, in parallel, each at
+1/nr_running speed.  For example: if there are 2 tasks running, then it runs
+each at 50% physical power --- i.e., actually in parallel.
+
+On real hardware, we can run only a single task at once, so we have to
+introduce the concept of "virtual runtime."  The virtual runtime of a task
+specifies when its next timeslice would start execution on the ideal
+multi-tasking CPU described above.  In practice, the virtual runtime of a task
+is its actual runtime normalized to the total number of running tasks.
+
+
+
+2.  FEW IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS
+==============================
+
+In CFS the virtual runtime is expressed and tracked via the per-task
+p->se.vruntime (nanosec-unit) value.  This way, it's possible to accurately
+timestamp and measure the "expected CPU time" a task should have gotten.
+
+   Small detail: on "ideal" hardware, at any time all tasks would have the same
+   p->se.vruntime value --- i.e., tasks would execute simultaneously and no task
+   would ever get "out of balance" from the "ideal" share of CPU time.
+
+CFS's task picking logic is based on this p->se.vruntime value and it is thus
+very simple: it always tries to run the task with the smallest p->se.vruntime
+value (i.e., the task which executed least so far).  CFS always tries to split
+up CPU time between runnable tasks as close to "ideal multitasking hardware" as
+possible.
+
+Most of the rest of CFS's design just falls out of this really simple concept,
+with a few add-on embellishments like nice levels, multiprocessing and various
+algorithm variants to recognize sleepers.
+
+
+
+3.  THE RBTREE
+==============
+
+CFS's design is quite radical: it does not use the old data structures for the
+runqueues, but it uses a time-ordered rbtree to build a "timeline" of future
+task execution, and thus has no "array switch" artifacts (by which both the
+previous vanilla scheduler and RSDL/SD are affected).
+
+CFS also maintains the rq->cfs.min_vruntime value, which is a monotonic
+increasing value tracking the smallest vruntime among all tasks in the
+runqueue.  The total amount of work done by the system is tracked using
+min_vruntime; that value is used to place newly activated entities on the left
+side of the tree as much as possible.
+
+The total number of running tasks in the runqueue is accounted through the
+rq->cfs.load value, which is the sum of the weights of the tasks queued on the
+runqueue.
+
+CFS maintains a time-ordered rbtree, where all runnable tasks are sorted by the
+p->se.vruntime key. CFS picks the "leftmost" task from this tree and sticks to it.
+As the system progresses forwards, the executed tasks are put into the tree
+more and more to the right --- slowly but surely giving a chance for every task
+to become the "leftmost task" and thus get on the CPU within a deterministic
+amount of time.
+
+Summing up, CFS works like this: it runs a task a bit, and when the task
+schedules (or a scheduler tick happens) the task's CPU usage is "accounted
+for": the (small) time it just spent using the physical CPU is added to
+p->se.vruntime.  Once p->se.vruntime gets high enough so that another task
+becomes the "leftmost task" of the time-ordered rbtree it maintains (plus a
+small amount of "granularity" distance relative to the leftmost task so that we
+do not over-schedule tasks and trash the cache), then the new leftmost task is
+picked and the current task is preempted.
+
+
+
+4.  SOME FEATURES OF CFS
+========================
+
+CFS uses nanosecond granularity accounting and does not rely on any jiffies or
+other HZ detail.  Thus the CFS scheduler has no notion of "timeslices" in the
+way the previous scheduler had, and has no heuristics whatsoever.  There is
+only one central tunable (you have to switch on CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG):
+
+   /sys/kernel/debug/sched/min_granularity_ns
+
+which can be used to tune the scheduler from "desktop" (i.e., low latencies) to
+"server" (i.e., good batching) workloads.  It defaults to a setting suitable
+for desktop workloads.  SCHED_BATCH is handled by the CFS scheduler module too.
+
+Due to its design, the CFS scheduler is not prone to any of the "attacks" that
+exist today against the heuristics of the stock scheduler: fiftyp.c, thud.c,
+chew.c, ring-test.c, massive_intr.c all work fine and do not impact
+interactivity and produce the expected behavior.
+
+The CFS scheduler has a much stronger handling of nice levels and SCHED_BATCH
+than the previous vanilla scheduler: both types of workloads are isolated much
+more aggressively.
+
+SMP load-balancing has been reworked/sanitized: the runqueue-walking
+assumptions are gone from the load-balancing code now, and iterators of the
+scheduling modules are used.  The balancing code got quite a bit simpler as a
+result.
+
+
+
+5. Scheduling policies
+======================
+
+CFS implements three scheduling policies:
+
+  - SCHED_NORMAL (traditionally called SCHED_OTHER): The scheduling
+    policy that is used for regular tasks.
+
+  - SCHED_BATCH: Does not preempt nearly as often as regular tasks
+    would, thereby allowing tasks to run longer and make better use of
+    caches but at the cost of interactivity. This is well suited for
+    batch jobs.
+
+  - SCHED_IDLE: This is even weaker than nice 19, but its not a true
+    idle timer scheduler in order to avoid to get into priority
+    inversion problems which would deadlock the machine.
+
+SCHED_FIFO/_RR are implemented in sched/rt.c and are as specified by
+POSIX.
+
+The command chrt from util-linux-ng 2.13.1.1 can set all of these except
+SCHED_IDLE.
+
+
+
+6.  SCHEDULING CLASSES
+======================
+
+The new CFS scheduler has been designed in such a way to introduce "Scheduling
+Classes," an extensible hierarchy of scheduler modules.  These modules
+encapsulate scheduling policy details and are handled by the scheduler core
+without the core code assuming too much about them.
+
+sched/fair.c implements the CFS scheduler described above.
+
+sched/rt.c implements SCHED_FIFO and SCHED_RR semantics, in a simpler way than
+the previous vanilla scheduler did.  It uses 100 runqueues (for all 100 RT
+priority levels, instead of 140 in the previous scheduler) and it needs no
+expired array.
+
+Scheduling classes are implemented through the sched_class structure, which
+contains hooks to functions that must be called whenever an interesting event
+occurs.
+
+This is the (partial) list of the hooks:
+
+ - enqueue_task(...)
+
+   Called when a task enters a runnable state.
+   It puts the scheduling entity (task) into the red-black tree and
+   increments the nr_running variable.
+
+ - dequeue_task(...)
+
+   When a task is no longer runnable, this function is called to keep the
+   corresponding scheduling entity out of the red-black tree.  It decrements
+   the nr_running variable.
+
+ - yield_task(...)
+
+   This function is basically just a dequeue followed by an enqueue, unless the
+   compat_yield sysctl is turned on; in that case, it places the scheduling
+   entity at the right-most end of the red-black tree.
+
+ - check_preempt_curr(...)
+
+   This function checks if a task that entered the runnable state should
+   preempt the currently running task.
+
+ - pick_next_task(...)
+
+   This function chooses the most appropriate task eligible to run next.
+
+ - set_curr_task(...)
+
+   This function is called when a task changes its scheduling class or changes
+   its task group.
+
+ - task_tick(...)
+
+   This function is mostly called from time tick functions; it might lead to
+   process switch.  This drives the running preemption.
+
+
+
+
+7.  GROUP SCHEDULER EXTENSIONS TO CFS
+=====================================
+
+Normally, the scheduler operates on individual tasks and strives to provide
+fair CPU time to each task.  Sometimes, it may be desirable to group tasks and
+provide fair CPU time to each such task group.  For example, it may be
+desirable to first provide fair CPU time to each user on the system and then to
+each task belonging to a user.
+
+CONFIG_CGROUP_SCHED strives to achieve exactly that.  It lets tasks to be
+grouped and divides CPU time fairly among such groups.
+
+CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED permits to group real-time (i.e., SCHED_FIFO and
+SCHED_RR) tasks.
+
+CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED permits to group CFS (i.e., SCHED_NORMAL and
+SCHED_BATCH) tasks.
+
+   These options need CONFIG_CGROUPS to be defined, and let the administrator
+   create arbitrary groups of tasks, using the "cgroup" pseudo filesystem.  See
+   Documentation/admin-guide/cgroup-v1/cgroups.rst for more information about this filesystem.
+
+When CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED is defined, a "cpu.shares" file is created for each
+group created using the pseudo filesystem.  See example steps below to create
+task groups and modify their CPU share using the "cgroups" pseudo filesystem::
+
+	# mount -t tmpfs cgroup_root /sys/fs/cgroup
+	# mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu
+	# mount -t cgroup -ocpu none /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu
+	# cd /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu
+
+	# mkdir multimedia	# create "multimedia" group of tasks
+	# mkdir browser		# create "browser" group of tasks
+
+	# #Configure the multimedia group to receive twice the CPU bandwidth
+	# #that of browser group
+
+	# echo 2048 > multimedia/cpu.shares
+	# echo 1024 > browser/cpu.shares
+
+	# firefox &	# Launch firefox and move it to "browser" group
+	# echo <firefox_pid> > browser/tasks
+
+	# #Launch gmplayer (or your favourite movie player)
+	# echo <movie_player_pid> > multimedia/tasks
