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.

+/**
+ * DOC: Authenticated Encryption With Associated Data (AEAD) Cipher API
+ *
+ * The AEAD cipher API is used with the ciphers of type CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_AEAD
+ * (listed as type "aead" in /proc/crypto)
+ *
+ * The most prominent examples for this type of encryption is GCM and CCM.
+ * However, the kernel supports other types of AEAD ciphers which are defined
+ * with the following cipher string:
+ *
+ *	authenc(keyed message digest, block cipher)
+ *
+ * For example: authenc(hmac(sha256), cbc(aes))
+ *
+ * The example code provided for the symmetric key cipher operation applies
+ * here as well. Naturally all *skcipher* symbols must be exchanged the *aead*
+ * pendants discussed in the following. In addition, for the AEAD operation,
+ * the aead_request_set_ad function must be used to set the pointer to the
+ * associated data memory location before performing the encryption or
+ * decryption operation. Another deviation from the asynchronous block cipher
+ * operation is that the caller should explicitly check for -EBADMSG of the
+ * crypto_aead_decrypt. That error indicates an authentication error, i.e.
+ * a breach in the integrity of the message. In essence, that -EBADMSG error
+ * code is the key bonus an AEAD cipher has over "standard" block chaining
+ * modes.
+ *
+ * Memory Structure:
+ *
+ * The source scatterlist must contain the concatenation of
+ * associated data || plaintext or ciphertext.
+ *
+ * The destination scatterlist has the same layout, except that the plaintext
+ * (resp. ciphertext) will grow (resp. shrink) by the authentication tag size
+ * during encryption (resp. decryption). The authentication tag is generated
+ * during the encryption operation and appended to the ciphertext. During
+ * decryption, the authentication tag is consumed along with the ciphertext and
+ * used to verify the integrity of the plaintext and the associated data.
+ *
+ * In-place encryption/decryption is enabled by using the same scatterlist
+ * pointer for both the source and destination.
+ *
+ * Even in the out-of-place case, space must be reserved in the destination for
+ * the associated data, even though it won't be written to.  This makes the
+ * in-place and out-of-place cases more consistent.  It is permissible for the
+ * "destination" associated data to alias the "source" associated data.
+ *
+ * As with the other scatterlist crypto APIs, zero-length scatterlist elements
+ * are not allowed in the used part of the scatterlist.  Thus, if there is no
+ * associated data, the first element must point to the plaintext/ciphertext.
+ *
+ * To meet the needs of IPsec, a special quirk applies to rfc4106, rfc4309,
+ * rfc4543, and rfc7539esp ciphers.  For these ciphers, the final 'ivsize' bytes
+ * of the associated data buffer must contain a second copy of the IV.  This is
+ * in addition to the copy passed to aead_request_set_crypt().  These two IV
+ * copies must not differ; different implementations of the same algorithm may
+ * behave differently in that case.  Note that the algorithm might not actually
+ * treat the IV as associated data; nevertheless the length passed to
+ * aead_request_set_ad() must include it.
