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. New hardware / drivers: - Ethernet: - nVidia BlueField-3 support (control traffic driver) - Ethernet support for imx93 SoCs - Motorcomm yt8531 gigabit Ethernet PHY - onsemi NCN26000 10BASE-T1S PHY (with support for PLCA) - Microchip LAN8841 PHY (incl. cable diagnostics and PTP) - Amlogic gxl MDIO mux - WiFi: - RealTek RTL8188EU (rtl8xxxu) - Qualcomm Wi-Fi 7 devices (ath12k) - CAN: - Renesas R-Car V4H Drivers: - Bluetooth: - Set Per Platform Antenna Gain (PPAG) for Intel controllers. - Ethernet NICs: - Intel (1G, igc): - support TSN / Qbv / packet scheduling features of i226 model - Intel (100G, ice): - use GNSS subsystem instead of TTY - multi-buffer XDP support - extend support for GPIO pins to E823 devices - nVidia/Mellanox: - update the shared buffer configuration on PFC commands - implement PTP adjphase function for HW offset control - TC support for Geneve and GRE with VF tunnel offload - more efficient crypto key management method - multi-port eswitch support - Netronome/Corigine: - add DCB IEEE support - support IPsec offloading for NFP3800 - Freescale/NXP (enetc): - support XDP_REDIRECT for XDP non-linear buffers - improve reconfig, avoid link flap and waiting for idle - support MAC Merge layer - Other NICs: - sfc/ef100: add basic devlink support for ef100 - ionic: rx_push mode operation (writing descriptors via MMIO) - bnxt: use the auxiliary bus abstraction for RDMA - r8169: disable ASPM and reset bus in case of tx timeout - cpsw: support QSGMII mode for J721e CPSW9G - cpts: support pulse-per-second output - ngbe: add an mdio bus driver - usbnet: optimize usbnet_bh() by avoiding unnecessary queuing - r8152: handle devices with FW with NCM support - amd-xgbe: support 10Mbps, 2.5GbE speeds and rx-adaptation - virtio-net: support multi buffer XDP - virtio/vsock: replace virtio_vsock_pkt with sk_buff - tsnep: XDP support - Ethernet high-speed switches: - nVidia/Mellanox (mlxsw): - add support for latency TLV (in FW control messages) - Microchip (sparx5): - separate explicit and implicit traffic forwarding rules, make the implicit rules always active - add support for egress DSCP rewrite - IS0 VCAP support (Ingress Classification) - IS2 VCAP filters (protos, L3 addrs, L4 ports, flags, ToS etc.) - ES2 VCAP support (Egress Access Control) - support for Per-Stream Filtering and Policing (802.1Q, 8.6.5.1) - Ethernet embedded switches: - Marvell (mv88e6xxx): - add MAB (port auth) offload support - enable PTP receive for mv88e6390 - NXP (ocelot): - support MAC Merge layer - support for the the vsc7512 internal copper phys - Microchip: - lan9303: convert to PHYLINK - lan966x: support TC flower filter statistics - lan937x: PTP support for KSZ9563/KSZ8563 and LAN937x - lan937x: support Credit Based Shaper configuration - ksz9477: support Energy Efficient Ethernet - other: - qca8k: convert to regmap read/write API, use bulk operations - rswitch: Improve TX timestamp accuracy - Intel WiFi (iwlwifi): - EHT (Wi-Fi 7) rate reporting - STEP equalizer support: transfer some STEP (connection to radio on platforms with integrated wifi) related parameters from the BIOS to the firmware. - Qualcomm 802.11ax WiFi (ath11k): - IPQ5018 support - Fine Timing Measurement (FTM) responder role support - channel 177 support - MediaTek WiFi (mt76): - per-PHY LED support - mt7996: EHT (Wi-Fi 7) support - Wireless Ethernet Dispatch (WED) reset support - switch to using page pool allocator - RealTek WiFi (rtw89): - support new version of Bluetooth co-existance - Mobile: - rmnet: support TX aggregation" * tag 'net-next-6.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next: (1872 commits) page_pool: add a comment explaining the fragment counter usage net: ethtool: fix __ethtool_dev_mm_supported() implementation ethtool: pse-pd: Fix double word in comments xsk: add linux/vmalloc.h to xsk.c sefltests: netdevsim: wait for devlink instance after netns removal selftest: fib_tests: Always cleanup before exit net/mlx5e: Align IPsec ASO result memory to be as required by hardware net/mlx5e: TC, Set CT miss to the specific ct action instance net/mlx5e: Rename CHAIN_TO_REG to MAPPED_OBJ_TO_REG net/mlx5: Refactor tc miss handling to a single function net/mlx5: Kconfig: Make tc offload depend on tc skb extension net/sched: flower: Support hardware miss to tc action net/sched: flower: Move filter handle initialization earlier net/sched: cls_api: Support hardware miss to tc action net/sched: Rename user cookie and act cookie sfc: fix builds without CONFIG_RTC_LIB sfc: clean up some inconsistent indentings net/mlx4_en: Introduce flexible array to silence overflow warning net: lan966x: Fix possible deadlock inside PTP net/ulp: Remove redundant ->clone() test in inet_clone_ulp(). ...

+RGB Formats
+***********
+
+These formats encode each pixel as a triplet of RGB values. They are packed
+formats, meaning that the RGB values for one pixel are stored consecutively in
+memory and each pixel consumes an integer number of bytes. When the number of
+bits required to store a pixel is not aligned to a byte boundary, the data is
+padded with additional bits to fill the remaining byte.
+
+The formats differ by the number of bits per RGB component (typically but not
+always the same for all components), the order of components in memory, and the
+presence of an alpha component or additional padding bits.
+
+The usage and value of the alpha bits in formats that support them (named ARGB
+or a permutation thereof, collectively referred to as alpha formats) depend on
+the device type and hardware operation. :ref:`Capture <capture>` devices
+(including capture queues of mem-to-mem devices) fill the alpha component in
+memory. When the device captures an alpha channel the alpha component will have
+a meaningful value. Otherwise, when the device doesn't capture an alpha channel
+but can set the alpha bit to a user-configurable value, the
+:ref:`V4L2_CID_ALPHA_COMPONENT <v4l2-alpha-component>` control is used to
+specify that alpha value, and the alpha component of all pixels will be set to
+the value specified by that control. Otherwise a corresponding format without
+an alpha component (XRGB or XBGR) must be used instead of an alpha format.
+
+:ref:`Output <output>` devices (including output queues of mem-to-mem devices
+and :ref:`video output overlay <osd>` devices) read the alpha component from
+memory. When the device processes the alpha channel the alpha component must be
+filled with meaningful values by applications. Otherwise a corresponding format
+without an alpha component (XRGB or XBGR) must be used instead of an alpha
+format.
+
+Formats that contain padding bits are named XRGB (or a permutation thereof).
+The padding bits contain undefined values and must be ignored by applications,
+devices and drivers, for both :ref:`capture` and :ref:`output` devices.
+
+.. note::
+
+ - In all the tables that follow, bit 7 is the most significant bit in a byte.
+ - 'r', 'g' and 'b' denote bits of the red, green and blue components
+ respectively. 'a' denotes bits of the alpha component (if supported by the
+ format), and 'x' denotes padding bits.
+
+
+Less Than 8 Bits Per Component
+==============================
+
+These formats store an RGB triplet in one, two or four bytes. They are named
+based on the order of the RGB components as seen in a 8-, 16- or 32-bit word,
+which is then stored in memory in little endian byte order (unless otherwise
+noted by the presence of bit 31 in the 4CC value), and on the number of bits
+for each component. For instance, the RGB565 format stores a pixel in a 16-bit
+word [15:0] laid out at as [R\ :sub:`4` R\ :sub:`3` R\ :sub:`2` R\ :sub:`1`
+R\ :sub:`0` G\ :sub:`5` G\ :sub:`4` G\ :sub:`3` G\ :sub:`2` G\ :sub:`1`
+G\ :sub:`0` B\ :sub:`4` B\ :sub:`3` B\ :sub:`2` B\ :sub:`1` B\ :sub:`0`], and
+stored in memory in two bytes, [R\ :sub:`4` R\ :sub:`3` R\ :sub:`2` R\ :sub:`1`
+R\ :sub:`0` G\ :sub:`5` G\ :sub:`4` G\ :sub:`3`] followed by [G\ :sub:`2`
+G\ :sub:`1` G\ :sub:`0` B\ :sub:`4` B\ :sub:`3` B\ :sub:`2` B\ :sub:`1`
+B\ :sub:`0`].

+8 Bits Per Component
+====================
+
+These formats store an RGB triplet in three or four bytes. They are named based
+on the order of the RGB components as stored in memory, and on the total number
+of bits per pixel. For instance, RGB24 format stores a pixel with [R\ :sub:`7`
+R\ :sub:`6` R\ :sub:`5` R\ :sub:`4` R\ :sub:`3` R\ :sub:`2` R\ :sub:`1`
+R\ :sub:`0`] in the first byte, [G\ :sub:`7` G\ :sub:`6` G\ :sub:`5` G\ :sub:`4`
+G\ :sub:`3` G\ :sub:`2` G\ :sub:`1` G\ :sub:`0`] in the second byte and
+[B\ :sub:`7` B\ :sub:`6` B\ :sub:`5` B\ :sub:`4` B\ :sub:`3` B\ :sub:`2`
+B\ :sub:`1` B\ :sub:`0`] in the third byte. This differs from the DRM format
+nomenclature that instead use the order of components as seen in a 24- or
+32-bit little endian word.

+Deprecated RGB Formats
+======================
+
+Formats defined in :ref:`pixfmt-rgb-deprecated` are deprecated and must not be
+used by new drivers. They are documented here for reference. The meaning of
+their alpha bits ``(a)`` is ill-defined and they are interpreted as in either
+the corresponding ARGB or XRGB format, depending on the driver.
