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.

It is numbered 2 +because it goes with version 2 of the ordinary GPL.] + +Preamble + +The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to +share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public Licenses are +intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to +make sure the software is free for all its users. + +This license, the Library General Public License, applies to some specially +designated Free Software Foundation software, and to any other libraries +whose authors decide to use it. You can use it for your libraries, too. + +When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our +General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom +to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you +wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you +can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that +you know you can do these things. + +To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to +deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These +restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you +distribute copies of the library, or if you modify it. + +For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis or for +a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave you. You +must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. If you +link a program with the library, you must provide complete object files to +the recipients so that they can relink them with the library, after making +changes to the library and recompiling it. And you must show them these +terms so they know their rights. + +Our method of protecting your rights has two steps: (1) copyright the +library, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to +copy, distribute and/or modify the library. + +Also, for each distributor's protection, we want to make certain that +everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free library. If +the library is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its +recipients to know that what they have is not the original version, so that +any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors' +reputations. + +Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We +wish to avoid the danger that companies distributing free software will +individually obtain patent licenses, thus in effect transforming the +program into proprietary software. To prevent this, we have made it clear +that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at +all. + +Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary GNU +General Public License, which was designed for utility programs. This +license, the GNU Library General Public License, applies to certain +designated libraries. This license is quite different from the ordinary +one; be sure to read it in full, and don't assume that anything in it is +the same as in the ordinary license. + +The reason we have a separate public license for some libraries is that +they blur the distinction we usually make between modifying or adding to a +program and simply using it. Linking a program with a library, without +changing the library, is in some sense simply using the library, and is +analogous to running a utility program or application program. However, in +a textual and legal sense, the linked executable is a combined work, a +derivative of the original library, and the ordinary General Public License +treats it as such. + +Because of this blurred distinction, using the ordinary General Public +License for libraries did not effectively promote software sharing, because +most developers did not use the libraries. We concluded that weaker +conditions might promote sharing better. + +However, unrestricted linking of non-free programs would deprive the users +of those programs of all benefit from the free status of the libraries +themselves. This Library General Public License is intended to permit +developers of non-free programs to use free libraries, while preserving +your freedom as a user of such programs to change the free libraries that +are incorporated in them. (We have not seen how to achieve this as regards +changes in header files, but we have achieved it as regards changes in the +actual functions of the Library.) The hope is that this will lead to faster +development of free libraries. + +The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification +follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a "work based on the +library" and a "work that uses the library". The former contains code +derived from the library, while the latter only works together with the +library. + +Note that it is possible for a library to be covered by the ordinary +General Public License rather than by this special one. + +TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION + +0. This License Agreement applies to any software library which contains a + notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized party saying + it may be distributed under the terms of this Library General Public + License (also called "this License"). Each licensee is addressed as + "you". + + A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data + prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs + (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables. + + The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work which + has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the Library" + means either the Library or any derivative work under copyright law: + that is to say, a work containing the Library or a portion of it, either + verbatim or with modifications and/or translated straightforwardly into + another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without + limitation in the term "modification".) + + "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for making + modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means all the + source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface + definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and + installation of the library. + + Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not + covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running + a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from such a + program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the + Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for writing + it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does and what the + program that uses the Library does. + +1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's complete + source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you + conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate + copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices + that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and + distribute a copy of this License along with the Library. + + You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and + you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. + +2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion of it, + thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and distribute such + modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that + you also meet all of these conditions: + + a) The modified work must itself be a software library. + + b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices stating + that you changed the files and the date of any change. + + c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no charge to + all third parties under the terms of this License. + + d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a table + of data to be supplied by an application program that uses the + facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility is + invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, in + the event an application does not supply such function or table, the + facility still operates, and performs whatever part of its purpose + remains meaningful. + + (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has a + purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the + application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any + application-supplied function or table used by this function must be + optional: if the application does not supply it, the square root + function must still compute square roots.) + + These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If + identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, and + can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in + themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those + sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you + distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on + the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this + License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire + whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. + + Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest + your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to + exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or + collective works based on the Library. + + In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library + with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of a + storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the + scope of this License. + +3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public + License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do + this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so that + they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, + instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the + ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify + that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in these + notices. + + Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for that + copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all + subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy. + + This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of the + Library into a program that is not a library. + +4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or derivative of + it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms + of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany it with the + complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be + distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium + customarily used for software interchange. + + If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy from a + designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source + code from the same place satisfies the requirement to distribute the + source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the + source along with the object code. + +5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the Library, but + is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or linked with + it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a work, in isolation, + is not a derivative work of the Library, and therefore falls outside the + scope of this License. + + However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library creates + an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it contains + portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the + library". The executable is therefore covered by this License. Section 6 + states terms for distribution of such executables. + + When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file + that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a + derivative work of the Library even though the source code is + not. Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be + linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The + threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law. + + If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data structure + layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline functions (ten + lines or less in length), then the use of the object file is + unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative + work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the + Library will still fall under Section 6.) + + Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may + distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section + 6. Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, + whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself. + +6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also compile or link a + "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a work + containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work under terms + of your choice, provided that the terms permit modification of the work + for the customer's own use and reverse engineering for debugging such + modifications. + + You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the + Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by + this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work during + execution displays copyright notices, you must include the copyright + notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference directing the + user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one of these things: + + a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding machine-readable + source code for the Library including whatever changes were used in + the work (which must be distributed under Sections 1 and 2 above); + and, if the work is an executable linked with the Library, with the + complete machine-readable "work that uses the Library", as object + code and/or source code, so that the user can modify the Library and + then relink to produce a modified executable containing the modified + Library. (It is understood that the user who changes the contents of + definitions files in the Library will not necessarily be able to + recompile the application to use the modified definitions.) + + b) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least three + years, to give the same user the materials specified in Subsection + 6a, above, for a charge no more than the cost of performing this + distribution. + + c) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy from a + designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above specified + materials from the same place. + + d) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these materials + or that you have already sent this user a copy. + + For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the Library" + must include any data and utility programs needed for reproducing the + executable from it. However, as a special exception, the source code + distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in + either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, + kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, + unless that component itself accompanies the executable. + + It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license restrictions + of other proprietary libraries that do not normally accompany the + operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot use both them + and the Library together in an executable that you distribute. + +7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the Library + side-by-side in a single library together with other library facilities + not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined library, + provided that the separate distribution of the work based on the Library + and of the other library facilities is otherwise permitted, and provided + that you do these two things: + + a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based on + the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities. This must + be distributed under the terms of the Sections above. + + b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact that part + of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find + the accompanying uncombined form of the same work. + +8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the + Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt + otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the + Library is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this + License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you + under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as + such parties remain in full compliance. + +9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed + it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute + the Library or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law + if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or + distributing the Library (or any work based on the Library), you + indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and + conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Library or works + based on it. + +10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the + Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the + original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library + subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further + restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted + herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third + parties to this License. + +11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent + infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), + conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or + otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not + excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot + distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this + License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you + may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent license + would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by all + those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the + only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain + entirely from distribution of the Library. + + If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under + any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to + apply, and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other + circumstances. + + It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any + patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any + such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the + integrity of the free software distribution system which is implemented + by public license practices. Many people have made generous + contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that + system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up + to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute + software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that + choice. + + This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to + be a consequence of the rest of this License. + +12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in certain + countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original + copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add an + explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those + countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries + not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the + limitation as if written in the body of this License. + +13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of + the Library General Public License from time to time. Such new versions + will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in + detail to address new problems or concerns. + + Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library + specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any + later version", you have the option of following the terms and + conditions either of that version or of any later version published by + the Free Software Foundation.

You can do so by permitting +redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the +ordinary General Public License). + +To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is +safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively +convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the +"copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. + +one line to give the library's name and an idea of what it does. +Copyright (C) year name of author + +This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it +under the terms of the GNU Library General Public License as published by +the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your +option) any later version. + +This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT +ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or +FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
