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.

+ * Descriptor Bootstrap
+ *
+ * The descriptor array is minimally initialized to allow immediate usage
+ * by readers and writers. The requirements that the descriptor array
+ * initialization must satisfy:
+ *
+ * Req1
+ * The tail must point to an existing (committed or reusable) descriptor.
+ * This is required by the implementation of prb_first_seq().
+ *
+ * Req2
+ * Readers must see that the ringbuffer is initially empty.
+ *
+ * Req3
+ * The first record reserved by a writer is assigned sequence number 0.
+ *
+ * To satisfy Req1, the tail initially points to a descriptor that is
+ * minimally initialized (having no data block, i.e. data-less with the
+ * data block's lpos @begin and @next values set to FAILED_LPOS).
+ *
+ * To satisfy Req2, the initial tail descriptor is initialized to the
+ * reusable state. Readers recognize reusable descriptors as existing
+ * records, but skip over them.
+ *
+ * To satisfy Req3, the last descriptor in the array is used as the initial
+ * head (and tail) descriptor. This allows the first record reserved by a
+ * writer (head + 1) to be the first descriptor in the array. (Only the first
+ * descriptor in the array could have a valid sequence number of 0.)
+ *
+ * The first time a descriptor is reserved, it is assigned a sequence number
+ * with the value of the array index. A "first time reserved" descriptor can
+ * be recognized because it has a sequence number of 0 but does not have an
+ * index of 0. (Only the first descriptor in the array could have a valid
+ * sequence number of 0.) After the first reservation, all future reservations
+ * (recycling) simply involve incrementing the sequence number by the array
+ * count.
+ *
+ * Hack #1
+ * Only the first descriptor in the array is allowed to have the sequence
+ * number 0. In this case it is not possible to recognize if it is being
+ * reserved the first time (set to index value) or has been reserved
+ * previously (increment by the array count). This is handled by _always_
+ * incrementing the sequence number by the array count when reserving the
+ * first descriptor in the array. In order to satisfy Req3, the sequence
+ * number of the first descriptor in the array is initialized to minus
+ * the array count. Then, upon the first reservation, it is incremented
+ * to 0, thus satisfying Req3.
+ *
+ * Hack #2
+ * prb_first_seq() can be called at any time by readers to retrieve the
+ * sequence number of the tail descriptor. However, due to Req2 and Req3,
+ * initially there are no records to report the sequence number of
+ * (sequence numbers are u64 and there is nothing less than 0). To handle
+ * this, the sequence number of the initial tail descriptor is initialized
+ * to 0. Technically this is incorrect, because there is no record with
+ * sequence number 0 (yet) and the tail descriptor is not the first
+ * descriptor in the array. But it allows prb_read_valid() to correctly
+ * report the existence of a record for _any_ given sequence number at all
+ * times. Bootstrapping is complete when the tail is pushed the first
+ * time, thus finally pointing to the first descriptor reserved by a
+ * writer, which has the assigned sequence number 0.
