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.

+	help
+	  This enables the firmware loading facility in the kernel. The kernel
+	  will first look for built-in firmware, if it has any. Next, it will
+	  look for the requested firmware in a series of filesystem paths:
+
+		o firmware_class path module parameter or kernel boot param
+		o /lib/firmware/updates/UTS_RELEASE
+		o /lib/firmware/updates
+		o /lib/firmware/UTS_RELEASE
+		o /lib/firmware
+
+	  Enabling this feature only increases your kernel image by about
+	  828 bytes, enable this option unless you are certain you don't
+	  need firmware.
+
+	  You typically want this built-in (=y) but you can also enable this
+	  as a module, in which case the firmware_class module will be built.
+	  You also want to be sure to enable this built-in if you are going to
+	  enable built-in firmware (CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE).
+
+if FW_LOADER

+	string "Build named firmware blobs into the kernel binary"
+	help
+	  Device drivers which require firmware can typically deal with
+	  having the kernel load firmware from the various supported
+	  /lib/firmware/ paths. This option enables you to build into the
+	  kernel firmware files. Built-in firmware searches are preceded
+	  over firmware lookups using your filesystem over the supported
+	  /lib/firmware paths documented on CONFIG_FW_LOADER.
+
+	  This may be useful for testing or if the firmware is required early on
+	  in boot and cannot rely on the firmware being placed in an initrd or
+	  initramfs.
+
+	  This option is a string and takes the (space-separated) names of the
+	  firmware files -- the same names that appear in MODULE_FIRMWARE()
+	  and request_firmware() in the source. These files should exist under
+	  the directory specified by the EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR option, which is
+	  /lib/firmware by default.
+
+	  For example, you might set CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="usb8388.bin", copy
+	  the usb8388.bin file into /lib/firmware, and build the kernel. Then
+	  any request_firmware("usb8388.bin") will be satisfied internally
+	  inside the kernel without ever looking at your filesystem at runtime.
+
+	  WARNING: If you include additional firmware files into your binary
+	  kernel image that are not available under the terms of the GPL,
+	  then it may be a violation of the GPL to distribute the resulting
+	  image since it combines both GPL and non-GPL work. You should
+	  consult a lawyer of your own before distributing such an image.
+
+	  NOTE: Compressed files are not supported in EXTRA_FIRMWARE.

+config FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER
+	bool "Enable the firmware sysfs fallback mechanism"
+	select FW_LOADER_SYSFS
+	select FW_LOADER_PAGED_BUF
+	help
+	  This option enables a sysfs loading facility to enable firmware
+	  loading to the kernel through userspace as a fallback mechanism
+	  if and only if the kernel's direct filesystem lookup for the
+	  firmware failed using the different /lib/firmware/ paths, or the
+	  path specified in the firmware_class path module parameter, or the
+	  firmware_class path kernel boot parameter if the firmware_class is
+	  built-in. For details on how to work with the sysfs fallback mechanism
+	  refer to Documentation/driver-api/firmware/fallback-mechanisms.rst.
+
+	  The direct filesystem lookup for firmware is always used first now.
+
+	  If the kernel's direct filesystem lookup for firmware fails to find
+	  the requested firmware a sysfs fallback loading facility is made
+	  available and userspace is informed about this through uevents.
+	  The uevent can be suppressed if the driver explicitly requested it,
+	  this is known as the driver using the custom fallback mechanism.
+	  If the custom fallback mechanism is used userspace must always
+	  acknowledge failure to find firmware as the timeout for the fallback
+	  mechanism is disabled, and failed requests will linger forever.
+
+	  This used to be the default firmware loading facility, and udev used
+	  to listen for uvents to load firmware for the kernel. The firmware
+	  loading facility functionality in udev has been removed, as such it
+	  can no longer be relied upon as a fallback mechanism. Linux no longer
+	  relies on or uses a fallback mechanism in userspace. If you need to
+	  rely on one refer to the permissively licensed firmwared:
+
+	  https://github.com/teg/firmwared
+
+	  Since this was the default firmware loading facility at one point,
+	  old userspace may exist which relies upon it, and as such this
+	  mechanism can never be removed from the kernel.
+
+	  You should only enable this functionality if you are certain you
+	  require a fallback mechanism and have a userspace mechanism ready to
+	  load firmware in case it is not found. One main reason for this may
+	  be if you have drivers which require firmware built-in and for
+	  whatever reason cannot place the required firmware in initramfs.
+	  Another reason kernels may have this feature enabled is to support a
+	  driver which explicitly relies on this fallback mechanism. Only two
+	  drivers need this today:
+
+	    o CONFIG_LEDS_LP55XX_COMMON
+	    o CONFIG_DELL_RBU
+
+	  Outside of supporting the above drivers, another reason for needing
+	  this may be that your firmware resides outside of the paths the kernel
+	  looks for and cannot possibly be specified using the firmware_class
+	  path module parameter or kernel firmware_class path boot parameter
+	  if firmware_class is built-in.
+
+	  A modern use case may be to temporarily mount a custom partition
+	  during provisioning which is only accessible to userspace, and then
+	  to use it to look for and fetch the required firmware. Such type of
+	  driver functionality may not even ever be desirable upstream by
+	  vendors, and as such is only required to be supported as an interface
+	  for provisioning. Since udev's firmware loading facility has been
+	  removed you can use firmwared or a fork of it to customize how you
+	  want to load firmware based on uevents issued.
+
+	  Enabling this option will increase your kernel image size by about
+	  13436 bytes.
+
+	  If you are unsure about this, say N here, unless you are Linux
+	  distribution and need to support the above two drivers, or you are
+	  certain you need to support some really custom firmware loading
+	  facility in userspace.

+	bool "Force the firmware sysfs fallback mechanism when possible"
+	depends on FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER
+	help
+	  Enabling this option forces a sysfs userspace fallback mechanism
+	  to be used for all firmware requests which explicitly do not disable a
+	  a fallback mechanism. Firmware calls which do prohibit a fallback
+	  mechanism is request_firmware_direct(). This option is kept for
+	  backward compatibility purposes given this precise mechanism can also
+	  be enabled by setting the proc sysctl value to true:
