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.

+==============================
+PXA2xx SPI on SSP driver HOWTO
+==============================
+
+This a mini HOWTO on the pxa2xx_spi driver. The driver turns a PXA2xx
+synchronous serial port into an SPI master controller
+(see Documentation/spi/spi-summary.rst). The driver has the following features
+
+- Support for any PXA2xx and compatible SSP.
+- SSP PIO and SSP DMA data transfers.
+- External and Internal (SSPFRM) chip selects.
+- Per slave device (chip) configuration.
+- Full suspend, freeze, resume support.
+
+The driver is built around a &struct spi_message FIFO serviced by kernel
+thread. The kernel thread, spi_pump_messages(), drives message FIFO and
+is responsible for queuing SPI transactions and setting up and launching
+the DMA or interrupt driven transfers.
+
+Declaring PXA2xx Master Controllers
+-----------------------------------
+Typically, for a legacy platform, an SPI master is defined in the
+arch/.../mach-*/board-*.c as a "platform device". The master configuration
+is passed to the driver via a table found in include/linux/spi/pxa2xx_spi.h::
+
+ struct pxa2xx_spi_controller {
+ u16 num_chipselect;
+ u8 enable_dma;
+ ...
+ };
+
+The "pxa2xx_spi_controller.num_chipselect" field is used to determine the number of
+slave device (chips) attached to this SPI master.
+
+The "pxa2xx_spi_controller.enable_dma" field informs the driver that SSP DMA should
+be used. This caused the driver to acquire two DMA channels: Rx channel and
+Tx channel. The Rx channel has a higher DMA service priority than the Tx channel.
+See the "PXA2xx Developer Manual" section "DMA Controller".
+
+For the new platforms the description of the controller and peripheral devices
+comes from Device Tree or ACPI.
+
+NSSP MASTER SAMPLE
+------------------
+Below is a sample configuration using the PXA255 NSSP for a legacy platform::
+
+ static struct resource pxa_spi_nssp_resources[] = {
+ [0] = {
+ .start = __PREG(SSCR0_P(2)), /* Start address of NSSP */
+ .end = __PREG(SSCR0_P(2)) + 0x2c, /* Range of registers */
+ .flags = IORESOURCE_MEM,
+ },
+ [1] = {
+ .start = IRQ_NSSP, /* NSSP IRQ */
+ .end = IRQ_NSSP,
+ .flags = IORESOURCE_IRQ,
+ },
+ };
+
+ static struct pxa2xx_spi_controller pxa_nssp_master_info = {
+ .num_chipselect = 1, /* Matches the number of chips attached to NSSP */
+ .enable_dma = 1, /* Enables NSSP DMA */
+ };
+
+ static struct platform_device pxa_spi_nssp = {
+ .name = "pxa2xx-spi", /* MUST BE THIS VALUE, so device match driver */
+ .id = 2, /* Bus number, MUST MATCH SSP number 1..n */
+ .resource = pxa_spi_nssp_resources,
+ .num_resources = ARRAY_SIZE(pxa_spi_nssp_resources),
+ .dev = {
+ .platform_data = &pxa_nssp_master_info, /* Passed to driver */
+ },
+ };
+
+ static struct platform_device *devices[] __initdata = {
+ &pxa_spi_nssp,
+ };
+
+ static void __init board_init(void)
+ {
+ (void)platform_add_device(devices, ARRAY_SIZE(devices));
+ }
+
+Declaring Slave Devices
+-----------------------
+Typically, for a legacy platform, each SPI slave (chip) is defined in the
+arch/.../mach-*/board-*.c using the "spi_board_info" structure found in
+"linux/spi/spi.h". See "Documentation/spi/spi-summary.rst" for additional
+information.
+
+Each slave device attached to the PXA must provide slave specific configuration
+information via the structure "pxa2xx_spi_chip" found in
+"include/linux/spi/pxa2xx_spi.h". The pxa2xx_spi master controller driver
+will uses the configuration whenever the driver communicates with the slave
+device. All fields are optional.
+
+::
+
+ struct pxa2xx_spi_chip {
+ u8 tx_threshold;
+ u8 rx_threshold;
+ u8 dma_burst_size;
+ u32 timeout;
+ };
+
+The "pxa2xx_spi_chip.tx_threshold" and "pxa2xx_spi_chip.rx_threshold" fields are
+used to configure the SSP hardware FIFO. These fields are critical to the
+performance of pxa2xx_spi driver and misconfiguration will result in rx
+FIFO overruns (especially in PIO mode transfers). Good default values are::
+
+ .tx_threshold = 8,
+ .rx_threshold = 8,
+
+The range is 1 to 16 where zero indicates "use default".
+
+The "pxa2xx_spi_chip.dma_burst_size" field is used to configure PXA2xx DMA
+engine and is related the "spi_device.bits_per_word" field. Read and understand
+the PXA2xx "Developer Manual" sections on the DMA controller and SSP Controllers
+to determine the correct value. An SSP configured for byte-wide transfers would
+use a value of 8. The driver will determine a reasonable default if
+dma_burst_size == 0.
+
+The "pxa2xx_spi_chip.timeout" fields is used to efficiently handle
+trailing bytes in the SSP receiver FIFO. The correct value for this field is
+dependent on the SPI bus speed ("spi_board_info.max_speed_hz") and the specific
+slave device. Please note that the PXA2xx SSP 1 does not support trailing byte
+timeouts and must busy-wait any trailing bytes.
+
+NOTE: the SPI driver cannot control the chip select if SSPFRM is used, so the
+chipselect is dropped after each spi_transfer. Most devices need chip select
+asserted around the complete message. Use SSPFRM as a GPIO (through a descriptor)
+to accommodate these chips.
+
+
+NSSP SLAVE SAMPLE
+-----------------
+For a legacy platform or in some other cases, the pxa2xx_spi_chip structure
+is passed to the pxa2xx_spi driver in the "spi_board_info.controller_data"
+field. Below is a sample configuration using the PXA255 NSSP.
+
+::
+
+ static struct pxa2xx_spi_chip cs8415a_chip_info = {
+ .tx_threshold = 8, /* SSP hardward FIFO threshold */
+ .rx_threshold = 8, /* SSP hardward FIFO threshold */
+ .dma_burst_size = 8, /* Byte wide transfers used so 8 byte bursts */
+ .timeout = 235, /* See Intel documentation */
+ };
+
+ static struct pxa2xx_spi_chip cs8405a_chip_info = {
+ .tx_threshold = 8, /* SSP hardward FIFO threshold */
+ .rx_threshold = 8, /* SSP hardward FIFO threshold */
+ .dma_burst_size = 8, /* Byte wide transfers used so 8 byte bursts */
+ .timeout = 235, /* See Intel documentation */
+ };
+
+ static struct spi_board_info streetracer_spi_board_info[] __initdata = {
+ {
+ .modalias = "cs8415a", /* Name of spi_driver for this device */
+ .max_speed_hz = 3686400, /* Run SSP as fast a possbile */
+ .bus_num = 2, /* Framework bus number */
+ .chip_select = 0, /* Framework chip select */
+ .platform_data = NULL; /* No spi_driver specific config */
+ .controller_data = &cs8415a_chip_info, /* Master chip config */
+ .irq = STREETRACER_APCI_IRQ, /* Slave device interrupt */
+ },
+ {
+ .modalias = "cs8405a", /* Name of spi_driver for this device */
+ .max_speed_hz = 3686400, /* Run SSP as fast a possbile */
+ .bus_num = 2, /* Framework bus number */
+ .chip_select = 1, /* Framework chip select */
+ .controller_data = &cs8405a_chip_info, /* Master chip config */
+ .irq = STREETRACER_APCI_IRQ, /* Slave device interrupt */
+ },
+ };
+
+ static void __init streetracer_init(void)
+ {
+ spi_register_board_info(streetracer_spi_board_info,
+ ARRAY_SIZE(streetracer_spi_board_info));
+ }
+
+
+DMA and PIO I/O Support
+-----------------------
+The pxa2xx_spi driver supports both DMA and interrupt driven PIO message
+transfers. The driver defaults to PIO mode and DMA transfers must be enabled
+by setting the "enable_dma" flag in the "pxa2xx_spi_controller" structure.
+For the newer platforms, that are known to support DMA, the driver will enable
+it automatically and try it first with a possible fallback to PIO. The DMA
+mode supports both coherent and stream based DMA mappings.
+
+The following logic is used to determine the type of I/O to be used on
+a per "spi_transfer" basis::
+
+ if !enable_dma then
+ always use PIO transfers
+
+ if spi_message.len > 8191 then
+ print "rate limited" warning
+ use PIO transfers
+
+ if spi_message.is_dma_mapped and rx_dma_buf != 0 and tx_dma_buf != 0 then
+ use coherent DMA mode
+
+ if rx_buf and tx_buf are aligned on 8 byte boundary then
+ use streaming DMA mode
+
+ otherwise
+ use PIO transfer
+
+THANKS TO

+David Brownell and others for mentoring the development of this driver.
