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.

+TODOs
+===============================================================================
+
+1. Base this on drm-next - WIP
+
+
+2. Cleanup commit history
+
+
+3. WIP - Drop page flip helper and use DRM's version
+
+
+4. DONE - Flatten all DC objects
+ * dc_stream/core_stream/stream should just be dc_stream
+ * Same for other DC objects
+
+ "Is there any major reason to keep all those abstractions?
+
+ Could you collapse everything into struct dc_stream?
+
+ I haven't looked recently but I didn't get the impression there was a
+ lot of design around what was public/protected, more whatever needed
+ to be used by someone else was in public."
+ ~ Dave Airlie
+
+
+5. DONE - Rename DC objects to align more with DRM
+ * dc_surface -> dc_plane_state
+ * dc_stream -> dc_stream_state
+
+
+6. DONE - Per-plane and per-stream validation
+
+
+7. WIP - Per-plane and per-stream commit
+
+
+8. WIP - Split pipe_ctx into plane and stream resource structs
+
+
+9. Attach plane and stream reources to state object instead of validate_context
+
+
+10. Remove dc_edid_caps and drm_helpers_parse_edid_caps
+ * Use drm_display_info instead
+ * Remove DC's edid quirks and rely on DRM's quirks (add quirks if needed)
+
+ "Making sure you use the sink-specific helper libraries and kernel
+ subsystems, since there's really no good reason to have 2nd
+ implementation of those in the kernel. Looks likes that's done for mst
+ and edid parsing. There's still a bit a midlayer feeling to the edid
+ parsing side (e.g. dc_edid_caps and dm_helpers_parse_edid_caps, I
+ think it'd be much better if you convert that over to reading stuff
+ from drm_display_info and if needed, push stuff into the core). Also,
+ I can't come up with a good reason why DC needs all this (except to
+ reimplement half of our edid quirk table, which really isn't a good
+ idea). Might be good if you put this onto the list of things to fix
+ long-term, but imo not a blocker. Definitely make sure new stuff
+ doesn't slip in (i.e. if you start adding edid quirks to DC instead of
+ the drm core, refactoring to use the core edid stuff was pointless)."
+ ~ Daniel Vetter
+
+
+11. Remove dc/i2caux. This folder can be somewhat misleading. It's basically an
+overy complicated HW programming function for sendind and receiving i2c/aux
+commands. We can greatly simplify that and move it into dc/dceXYZ like other
+HW blocks.
+
+12. drm_modeset_lock in MST should no longer be needed in recent kernels
+ * Adopt appropriate locking scheme
+
+13. get_modes and best_encoder callbacks look a bit funny. Can probably rip out
+a few indirections, and consider removing entirely and using the
+drm_atomic_helper_best_encoder default behaviour.
+
+14. core/dc_debug.c, consider switching to the atomic state debug helpers and
+moving all your driver state printing into the various atomic_print_state
+callbacks. There's also plans to expose this stuff in a standard way across all
+drivers, to make debugging userspace compositors easier across different hw.
+
+15. Move DP/HDMI dual mode adaptors to drm_dp_dual_mode_helper.c. See
+dal_ddc_service_i2c_query_dp_dual_mode_adaptor.
+
+16. Move to core SCDC helpers (I think those are new since initial DC review).
+
+17. There's still a pretty massive layer cake around dp aux and DPCD handling,
+with like 3 levels of abstraction and using your own structures instead of the
+stuff in drm_dp_helper.h. drm_dp_helper.h isn't really great and already has 2
+incompatible styles, just means more reasons not to add a third (or well third
+one gets to do the cleanup refactor).
+
+18. There's a pile of sink handling code, both for DP and HDMI where I didn't
+immediately recognize the standard. I think long term it'd be best for the drm
+subsystem if we try to move as much of that into helpers/core as possible, and
+share it with drivers. But that's a very long term goal, and by far not just an
+issue with DC - other drivers, especially around DP sink handling, are equally
+guilty.
+
+19. DONE - The DC logger is still a rather sore thing, but I know that the
+DRM_DEBUG stuff just isn't up to the challenges either. We need to figure out
+something that integrates better with DRM and linux debug printing, while not
+being useless with filtering output. dynamic debug printing might be an option.
+
+20. Use kernel i2c device to program HDMI retimer. Some boards have an HDMI
+retimer that we need to program to pass PHY compliance. Currently that's
+bypassing the i2c device and goes directly to HW. This should be changed.
+
+21. Remove vector.c from dc/basics. It's used in DDC code which can probably
+be simplified enough to no longer need a vector implementation.
