Merge tag 'net-next-6.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next
Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni: "Core: - Allow live renaming when an interface is up - Add retpoline wrappers for tc, improving considerably the performances of complex queue discipline configurations - Add inet drop monitor support - A few GRO performance improvements - Add infrastructure for atomic dev stats, addressing long standing data races - De-duplicate common code between OVS and conntrack offloading infrastructure - A bunch of UBSAN_BOUNDS/FORTIFY_SOURCE improvements - Netfilter: introduce packet parser for tunneled packets - Replace IPVS timer-based estimators with kthreads to scale up the workload with the number of available CPUs - Add the helper support for connection-tracking OVS offload BPF: - Support for user defined BPF objects: the use case is to allocate own objects, build own object hierarchies and use the building blocks to build own data structures flexibly, for example, linked lists in BPF - Make cgroup local storage available to non-cgroup attached BPF programs - Avoid unnecessary deadlock detection and failures wrt BPF task storage helpers - A relevant bunch of BPF verifier fixes and improvements - Veristat tool improvements to support custom filtering, sorting, and replay of results - Add LLVM disassembler as default library for dumping JITed code - Lots of new BPF documentation for various BPF maps - Add bpf_rcu_read_{,un}lock() support for sleepable programs - Add RCU grace period chaining to BPF to wait for the completion of access from both sleepable and non-sleepable BPF programs - Add support storing struct task_struct objects as kptrs in maps - Improve helper UAPI by explicitly defining BPF_FUNC_xxx integer values - Add libbpf *_opts API-variants for bpf_*_get_fd_by_id() functions Protocols: - TCP: implement Protective Load Balancing across switch links - TCP: allow dynamically disabling TCP-MD5 static key, reverting back to fast[er]-path - UDP: Introduce optional per-netns hash lookup table - IPv6: simplify and cleanup sockets disposal - Netlink: support different type policies for each generic netlink operation - MPTCP: add MSG_FASTOPEN and FastOpen listener side support - MPTCP: add netlink notification support for listener sockets events - SCTP: add VRF support, allowing sctp sockets binding to VRF devices - Add bridging MAC Authentication Bypass (MAB) support - Extensions for Ethernet VPN bridging implementation to better support multicast scenarios - More work for Wi-Fi 7 support, comprising conversion of all the existing drivers to internal TX queue usage - IPSec: introduce a new offload type (packet offload) allowing complete header processing and crypto offloading - IPSec: extended ack support for more descriptive XFRM error reporting - RXRPC: increase SACK table size and move processing into a per-local endpoint kernel thread, reducing considerably the required locking - IEEE 802154: synchronous send frame and extended filtering support, initial support for scanning available 15.4 networks - Tun: bump the link speed from 10Mbps to 10Gbps - Tun/VirtioNet: implement UDP segmentation offload support Driver API: - PHY/SFP: improve power level switching between standard level 1 and the higher power levels - New API for netdev <-> devlink_port linkage - PTP: convert existing drivers to new frequency adjustment implementation - DSA: add support for rx offloading - Autoload DSA tagging driver when dynamically changing protocol - Add new PCP and APPTRUST attributes to Data Center Bridging - Add configuration support for 800Gbps link speed - Add devlink port function attribute to enable/disable RoCE and migratable - Extend devlink-rate to support strict prioriry and weighted fair queuing - Add devlink support to directly reading from region memory -
