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.

+Industrial I/O Subsystem in kernel consumers.
+
+The IIO subsystem can act as a layer under other elements of the kernel
+providing a means of obtaining ADC type readings or of driving DAC type
+signals. The functionality supported will grow as use cases arise.
+
+Describing the channel mapping (iio/machine.h)
+
+Channel associations are described using:
+
+struct iio_map {
+ const char *adc_channel_label;
+ const char *consumer_dev_name;
+ const char *consumer_channel;
+};
+
+adc_channel_label identifies the channel on the IIO device by being
+matched against the datasheet_name field of the iio_chan_spec.
+
+consumer_dev_name allows identification of the consumer device.
+This are then used to find the channel mapping from the consumer device (see
+below).
+
+Finally consumer_channel is a string identifying the channel to the consumer.
+(Perhaps 'battery_voltage' or similar).
+
+An array of these structures is then passed to the IIO driver.
+
+Supporting in kernel interfaces in the driver (driver.h)
+
+The driver must provide datasheet_name values for its channels and
+must pass the iio_map structures and a pointer to its own iio_dev structure
+ on to the core via a call to iio_map_array_register. On removal,
+iio_map_array_unregister reverses this process.
+
+The result of this is that the IIO core now has all the information needed
+to associate a given channel with the consumer requesting it.
+
+Acting as an IIO consumer (consumer.h)
+
+The consumer first has to obtain an iio_channel structure from the core
+by calling iio_channel_get(). The correct channel is identified by:
+
+* matching dev or dev_name against consumer_dev and consumer_dev_name
+* matching consumer_channel against consumer_channel in the map
+
+There are then a number of functions that can be used to get information
+about this channel such as it's current reading.
+
+e.g.
+iio_read_channel_raw() - get a reading
+iio_get_channel_type() - get the type of channel
+
+There is also provision for retrieving all of the channels associated
+with a given consumer. This is useful for generic drivers such as
+iio_hwmon where the number and naming of channels is not known by the
+consumer driver. To do this, use iio_channel_get_all.

+ The value written is the on-time in milliseconds. When the
+ timer value is set 0, the timer is disabled. The cell balance
+ outputs are controlled only by inY-inZ_balance_switch_en.
