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.

+ * @min_keysize: Minimum key size supported by the transformation. This is the

+ *		 not hardware specific. Possible values for this field can be
+ *		 found via git grep "_MIN_KEY_SIZE" include/crypto/
+ * @max_keysize: Maximum key size supported by the transformation. This is the

+ *		 This must be set to one of the pre-defined values as this is
+ *		 not hardware specific. Possible values for this field can be
+ *		 found via git grep "_MAX_KEY_SIZE" include/crypto/
+ * @setkey: Set key for the transformation. This function is used to either
+ *	    program a supplied key into the hardware or store the key in the
+ *	    transformation context for programming it later. Note that this
+ *	    function does modify the transformation context. This function can
+ *	    be called multiple times during the existence of the transformation
+ *	    object, so one must make sure the key is properly reprogrammed into
+ *	    the hardware. This function is also responsible for checking the key
+ *	    length for validity. In case a software fallback was put in place in
+ *	    the @cra_init call, this function might need to use the fallback if
+ *	    the algorithm doesn't support all of the key sizes.
+ * @encrypt: Encrypt a scatterlist of blocks. This function is used to encrypt
+ *	     the supplied scatterlist containing the blocks of data. The crypto
+ *	     API consumer is responsible for aligning the entries of the
+ *	     scatterlist properly and making sure the chunks are correctly
+ *	     sized. In case a software fallback was put in place in the
+ *	     @cra_init call, this function might need to use the fallback if
+ *	     the algorithm doesn't support all of the key sizes. In case the
+ *	     key was stored in transformation context, the key might need to be
+ *	     re-programmed into the hardware in this function. This function
+ *	     shall not modify the transformation context, as this function may
+ *	     be called in parallel with the same transformation object.
+ * @decrypt: Decrypt a single block. This is a reverse counterpart to @encrypt
+ *	     and the conditions are exactly the same.
+ * @init: Initialize the cryptographic transformation object. This function
+ *	  is used to initialize the cryptographic transformation object.
+ *	  This function is called only once at the instantiation time, right
+ *	  after the transformation context was allocated. In case the
+ *	  cryptographic hardware has some special requirements which need to
+ *	  be handled by software, this function shall check for the precise
+ *	  requirement of the transformation and put any software fallbacks
+ *	  in place.
+ * @exit: Deinitialize the cryptographic transformation object. This is a
+ *	  counterpart to @init, used to remove various changes set in
+ *	  @init.
+ * @ivsize: IV size applicable for transformation. The consumer must provide an
+ *	    IV of exactly that size to perform the encrypt or decrypt operation.
+ * @chunksize: Equal to the block size except for stream ciphers such as
+ *	       CTR where it is set to the underlying block size.
+ * @walksize: Equal to the chunk size except in cases where the algorithm is
+ * 	      considerably more efficient if it can operate on multiple chunks
+ * 	      in parallel. Should be a multiple of chunksize.
+ * @base: Definition of a generic crypto algorithm.
+ *
+ * All fields except @ivsize are mandatory and must be filled.

+ * DOC: Symmetric Key Cipher API
+ *
+ * Symmetric key cipher API is used with the ciphers of type
+ * CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_SKCIPHER (listed as type "skcipher" in /proc/crypto).
+ *
+ * Asynchronous cipher operations imply that the function invocation for a
+ * cipher request returns immediately before the completion of the operation.
+ * The cipher request is scheduled as a separate kernel thread and therefore
+ * load-balanced on the different CPUs via the process scheduler. To allow
+ * the kernel crypto API to inform the caller about the completion of a cipher
+ * request, the caller must provide a callback function. That function is
+ * invoked with the cipher handle when the request completes.
+ *
+ * To support the asynchronous operation, additional information than just the
+ * cipher handle must be supplied to the kernel crypto API. That additional
+ * information is given by filling in the skcipher_request data structure.
+ *
+ * For the symmetric key cipher API, the state is maintained with the tfm
+ * cipher handle. A single tfm can be used across multiple calls and in
+ * parallel. For asynchronous block cipher calls, context data supplied and
+ * only used by the caller can be referenced the request data structure in
+ * addition to the IV used for the cipher request. The maintenance of such
+ * state information would be important for a crypto driver implementer to
+ * have, because when calling the callback function upon completion of the
+ * cipher operation, that callback function may need some information about
+ * which operation just finished if it invoked multiple in parallel. This
+ * state information is unused by the kernel crypto API.
