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.

     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.

+===========================
+The KVM halt polling system
+===========================
+
+The KVM halt polling system provides a feature within KVM whereby the latency
+of a guest can, under some circumstances, be reduced by polling in the host
+for some time period after the guest has elected to no longer run by cedeing.
+That is, when a guest vcpu has ceded, or in the case of powerpc when all of the
+vcpus of a single vcore have ceded, the host kernel polls for wakeup conditions
+before giving up the cpu to the scheduler in order to let something else run.
+
+Polling provides a latency advantage in cases where the guest can be run again
+very quickly by at least saving us a trip through the scheduler, normally on
+the order of a few micro-seconds, although performance benefits are workload
+dependant. In the event that no wakeup source arrives during the polling
+interval or some other task on the runqueue is runnable the scheduler is
+invoked. Thus halt polling is especially useful on workloads with very short
+wakeup periods where the time spent halt polling is minimised and the time
+savings of not invoking the scheduler are distinguishable.
+
+The generic halt polling code is implemented in:
+
+	virt/kvm/kvm_main.c: kvm_vcpu_block()
+
+The powerpc kvm-hv specific case is implemented in:
+
+	arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv.c: kvmppc_vcore_blocked()
+
+Halt Polling Interval
+=====================
+
+The maximum time for which to poll before invoking the scheduler, referred to
+as the halt polling interval, is increased and decreased based on the perceived
+effectiveness of the polling in an attempt to limit pointless polling.
+This value is stored in either the vcpu struct:
+
+	kvm_vcpu->halt_poll_ns
+
+or in the case of powerpc kvm-hv, in the vcore struct:
+
+	kvmppc_vcore->halt_poll_ns
+
+Thus this is a per vcpu (or vcore) value.
+
+During polling if a wakeup source is received within the halt polling interval,
+the interval is left unchanged. In the event that a wakeup source isn't
+received during the polling interval (and thus schedule is invoked) there are
+two options, either the polling interval and total block time[0] were less than
+the global max polling interval (see module params below), or the total block
+time was greater than the global max polling interval.
+
+In the event that both the polling interval and total block time were less than
+the global max polling interval then the polling interval can be increased in
+the hope that next time during the longer polling interval the wake up source
+will be received while the host is polling and the latency benefits will be
+received. The polling interval is grown in the function grow_halt_poll_ns() and
+is multiplied by the module parameters halt_poll_ns_grow and
+halt_poll_ns_grow_start.
+
+In the event that the total block time was greater than the global max polling
+interval then the host will never poll for long enough (limited by the global
+max) to wakeup during the polling interval so it may as well be shrunk in order
+to avoid pointless polling. The polling interval is shrunk in the function
+shrink_halt_poll_ns() and is divided by the module parameter
+halt_poll_ns_shrink, or set to 0 iff halt_poll_ns_shrink == 0.
+
+It is worth noting that this adjustment process attempts to hone in on some
+steady state polling interval but will only really do a good job for wakeups
+which come at an approximately constant rate, otherwise there will be constant
+adjustment of the polling interval.
+
+[0] total block time:
+		      the time between when the halt polling function is
+		      invoked and a wakeup source received (irrespective of
+		      whether the scheduler is invoked within that function).
+
+Module Parameters
+=================
+
+The kvm module has 3 tuneable module parameters to adjust the global max
+polling interval as well as the rate at which the polling interval is grown and
+shrunk. These variables are defined in include/linux/kvm_host.h and as module
+parameters in virt/kvm/kvm_main.c, or arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv.c in the
+powerpc kvm-hv case.
+
++-----------------------+---------------------------+-------------------------+
+|Module Parameter	|   Description		    |	     Default Value    |

++-----------------------+---------------------------+-------------------------+
+
+These module parameters can be set from the debugfs files in:
+
+	/sys/module/kvm/parameters/
+
+Note: that these module parameters are system wide values and are not able to
+      be tuned on a per vm basis.
+
+Any changes to these parameters will be picked up by new and existing vCPUs the
+next time they halt, with the notable exception of VMs using KVM_CAP_HALT_POLL
+(see next section).
+
+KVM_CAP_HALT_POLL
+=================
+
+KVM_CAP_HALT_POLL is a VM capability that allows userspace to override halt_poll_ns
+on a per-VM basis. VMs using KVM_CAP_HALT_POLL ignore halt_poll_ns completely (but
+still obey halt_poll_ns_grow, halt_poll_ns_grow_start, and halt_poll_ns_shrink).
+
+See Documentation/virt/kvm/api.rst for more information on this capability.
+
+Further Notes
+=============
+
+- Care should be taken when setting the halt_poll_ns module parameter as a large value
+  has the potential to drive the cpu usage to 100% on a machine which would be almost
+  entirely idle otherwise. This is because even if a guest has wakeups during which very
+  little work is done and which are quite far apart, if the period is shorter than the
+  global max polling interval (halt_poll_ns) then the host will always poll for the
+  entire block time and thus cpu utilisation will go to 100%.
+
+- Halt polling essentially presents a trade off between power usage and latency and
+  the module parameters should be used to tune the affinity for this. Idle cpu time is
+  essentially converted to host kernel time with the aim of decreasing latency when
+  entering the guest.
+
+- Halt polling will only be conducted by the host when no other tasks are runnable on
+  that cpu, otherwise the polling will cease immediately and schedule will be invoked to
+  allow that other task to run. Thus this doesn't allow a guest to denial of service the
+  cpu.
