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.

+AdvanSys Driver Notes
+=====================
+
+AdvanSys (Advanced System Products, Inc.) manufactures the following
+RISC-based, Bus-Mastering, Fast (10 Mhz) and Ultra (20 Mhz) Narrow
+(8-bit transfer) SCSI Host Adapters for the ISA, EISA, VL, and PCI
+buses and RISC-based, Bus-Mastering, Ultra (20 Mhz) Wide (16-bit
+transfer) SCSI Host Adapters for the PCI bus.
+
+The CDB counts below indicate the number of SCSI CDB (Command
+Descriptor Block) requests that can be stored in the RISC chip
+cache and board LRAM. A CDB is a single SCSI command. The driver
+detect routine will display the number of CDBs available for each
+adapter detected. The number of CDBs used by the driver can be
+lowered in the BIOS by changing the 'Host Queue Size' adapter setting.

+Driver Compile Time Options and Debugging
+=========================================
+
+The following constants can be defined in the source file.
+
+1. ADVANSYS_ASSERT - Enable driver assertions (Def: Enabled)
+
+ Enabling this option adds assertion logic statements to the
+ driver. If an assertion fails a message will be displayed to
+ the console, but the system will continue to operate. Any
+ assertions encountered should be reported to the person
+ responsible for the driver. Assertion statements may proactively
+ detect problems with the driver and facilitate fixing these
+ problems. Enabling assertions will add a small overhead to the
+ execution of the driver.
+
+2. ADVANSYS_DEBUG - Enable driver debugging (Def: Disabled)
+
+ Enabling this option adds tracing functions to the driver and the
+ ability to set a driver tracing level at boot time. This option is
+ very useful for debugging the driver, but it will add to the size
+ of the driver execution image and add overhead to the execution of
+ the driver.
+
+ The amount of debugging output can be controlled with the global
+ variable 'asc_dbglvl'. The higher the number the more output. By
+ default the debug level is 0.
+
+ If the driver is loaded at boot time and the LILO Driver Option
+ is included in the system, the debug level can be changed by
+ specifying a 5th (ASC_NUM_IOPORT_PROBE + 1) I/O Port. The
+ first three hex digits of the pseudo I/O Port must be set to
+ 'deb' and the fourth hex digit specifies the debug level: 0 - F.
+ The following command line will look for an adapter at 0x330
+ and set the debug level to 2::
+
+ linux advansys=0x330,0,0,0,0xdeb2
+
+ If the driver is built as a loadable module this variable can be
+ defined when the driver is loaded. The following insmod command
+ will set the debug level to one::
+
+ insmod advansys.o asc_dbglvl=1
+
+ Debugging Message Levels:
+
+
+ ==== ==================
+ 0 Errors Only
+ 1 High-Level Tracing
+ 2-N Verbose Tracing
+ ==== ==================
+
+ To enable debug output to console, please make sure that:
+
+ a. System and kernel logging is enabled (syslogd, klogd running).
+ b. Kernel messages are routed to console output. Check
+ /etc/syslog.conf for an entry similar to this::
+
+ kern.* /dev/console
+
+ c. klogd is started with the appropriate -c parameter
+ (e.g. klogd -c 8)
+
+ This will cause printk() messages to be displayed on the
+ current console. Refer to the klogd(8) and syslogd(8) man pages
+ for details.
+
+ Alternatively you can enable printk() to console with this
+ program. However, this is not the 'official' way to do this.
+
+ Debug output is logged in /var/log/messages.
+
+ ::
+
+ main()
+ {
+ syscall(103, 7, 0, 0);
+ }
+
+ Increasing LOG_BUF_LEN in kernel/printk.c to something like
+ 40960 allows more debug messages to be buffered in the kernel
+ and written to the console or log file.
+
+3. ADVANSYS_STATS - Enable statistics (Def: Enabled)
+
+ Enabling this option adds statistics collection and display
+ through /proc to the driver. The information is useful for
+ monitoring driver and device performance. It will add to the
+ size of the driver execution image and add minor overhead to
+ the execution of the driver.
+
+ Statistics are maintained on a per adapter basis. Driver entry
+ point call counts and transfer size counts are maintained.
+ Statistics are only available for kernels greater than or equal
+ to v1.3.0 with the CONFIG_PROC_FS (/proc) file system configured.
+
+ AdvanSys SCSI adapter files have the following path name format::
+
+ /proc/scsi/advansys/{0,1,2,3,...}
+
+ This information can be displayed with cat. For example::
+
+ cat /proc/scsi/advansys/0
+
+ When ADVANSYS_STATS is not defined the AdvanSys /proc files only
+ contain adapter and device configuration information.
+
+Driver LILO Option
+==================
+
+If init/main.c is modified as described in the 'Directions for Adding
+the AdvanSys Driver to Linux' section (B.4.) above, the driver will
+recognize the 'advansys' LILO command line and /etc/lilo.conf option.
+This option can be used to either disable I/O port scanning or to limit
+scanning to 1 - 4 I/O ports. Regardless of the option setting EISA and
+PCI boards will still be searched for and detected. This option only
+affects searching for ISA and VL boards.
+
+Examples:
+ 1. Eliminate I/O port scanning:
+
+ boot::
+
+ linux advansys=
+
+ or::
+
+ boot: linux advansys=0x0
+
+ 2. Limit I/O port scanning to one I/O port:
+
+ boot::
+
+ linux advansys=0x110
+
+ 3. Limit I/O port scanning to four I/O ports:
+
+ boot::
+
+ linux advansys=0x110,0x210,0x230,0x330
+
+For a loadable module the same effect can be achieved by setting
+the 'asc_iopflag' variable and 'asc_ioport' array when loading
+the driver, e.g.::
+
+ insmod advansys.o asc_iopflag=1 asc_ioport=0x110,0x330
+
+If ADVANSYS_DEBUG is defined a 5th (ASC_NUM_IOPORT_PROBE + 1)
+I/O Port may be added to specify the driver debug level. Refer to
+the 'Driver Compile Time Options and Debugging' section above for
+more information.
