Linus Torvalds 9187210eee Networking changes for 6.9.
Core & protocols
 ----------------
 
  - Large effort by Eric to lower rtnl_lock pressure and remove locks:
 
    - Make commonly used parts of rtnetlink (address, route dumps etc.)
      lockless, protected by RCU instead of rtnl_lock.
 
    - Add a netns exit callback which already holds rtnl_lock,
      allowing netns exit to take rtnl_lock once in the core
      instead of once for each driver / callback.
 
    - Remove locks / serialization in the socket diag interface.
 
    - Remove 6 calls to synchronize_rcu() while holding rtnl_lock.
 
    - Remove the dev_base_lock, depend on RCU where necessary.
 
  - Support busy polling on a per-epoll context basis. Poll length
    and budget parameters can be set independently of system defaults.
 
  - Introduce struct net_hotdata, to make sure read-mostly global config
    variables fit in as few cache lines as possible.
 
  - Add optional per-nexthop statistics to ease monitoring / debug
    of ECMP imbalance problems.
 
  - Support TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT in MPTCP.
 
  - Ensure that IPv6 temporary addresses' preferred lifetimes are long
    enough, compared to other configured lifetimes, and at least 2 sec.
 
  - Support forwarding of ICMP Error messages in IPSec, per RFC 4301.
 
  - Add support for the independent control state machine for bonding
    per IEEE 802.1AX-2008 5.4.15 in addition to the existing coupled
    control state machine.
 
  - Add "network ID" to MCTP socket APIs to support hosts with multiple
    disjoint MCTP networks.
 
  - Re-use the mono_delivery_time skbuff bit for packets which user
    space wants to be sent at a specified time. Maintain the timing
    information while traversing veth links, bridge etc.
 
  - Take advantage of MSG_SPLICE_PAGES for RxRPC DATA and ACK packets.
 
  - Simplify many places iterating over netdevs by using an xarray
    instead of a hash table walk (hash table remains in place, for
    use on fastpaths).
 
  - Speed up scanning for expired routes by keeping a dedicated list.
 
  - Speed up "generic" XDP by trying harder to avoid large allocations.
 
  - Support attaching arbitrary metadata to netconsole messages.
 
 Things we sprinkled into general kernel code
 --------------------------------------------
 
  - Enforce VM_IOREMAP flag and range in ioremap_page_range and introduce
    VM_SPARSE kind and vm_area_[un]map_pages (used by bpf_arena).
 
  - Rework selftest harness to enable the use of the full range of
    ksft exit code (pass, fail, skip, xfail, xpass).
 
 Netfilter
 ---------
 
  - Allow userspace to define a table that is exclusively owned by a daemon
    (via netlink socket aliveness) without auto-removing this table when
    the userspace program exits. Such table gets marked as orphaned and
    a restarting management daemon can re-attach/regain ownership.
 
  - Speed up element insertions to nftables' concatenated-ranges set type.
    Compact a few related data structures.
 
 BPF
 ---
 
  - Add BPF token support for delegating a subset of BPF subsystem
    functionality from privileged system-wide daemons such as systemd
    through special mount options for userns-bound BPF fs to a trusted
    & unprivileged application.
 
  - Introduce bpf_arena which is sparse shared memory region between BPF
    program and user space where structures inside the arena can have
    pointers to other areas of the arena, and pointers work seamlessly
    for both user-space programs and BPF programs.
 
  - Introduce may_goto instruction that is a contract between the verifier
    and the program. The verifier allows the program to loop assuming it's
    behaving well, but reserves the right to terminate it.
 
  - Extend the BPF verifier to enable static subprog calls in spin lock
    critical sections.
 
  - Support registration of struct_ops types from modules which helps
    projects like fuse-bpf that seeks to implement a new struct_ops type.
 
  - Add support for retrieval of cookies for perf/kprobe multi links.
 
  - Support arbitrary TCP SYN cookie generation / validation in the TC
    layer with BPF to allow creating SYN flood handling in BPF firewalls.
 
  - Add code generation to inline the bpf_kptr_xchg() helper which
    improves performance when stashing/popping the allocated BPF objects.
 
 Wireless
 --------
 
  - Add SPP (signaling and payload protected) AMSDU support.
 
  - Support wider bandwidth OFDMA, as required for EHT operation.
 
 Driver API
 ----------
 
  - Major overhaul of the Energy Efficient Ethernet internals to support
    new link modes (2.5GE, 5GE), share more code between drivers
    (especially those using phylib), and encourage more uniform behavior.
    Convert and clean up drivers.
 
  - Define an API for querying per netdev queue statistics from drivers.
 
  - IPSec: account in global stats for fully offloaded sessions.
 
  - Create a concept of Ethernet PHY Packages at the Device Tree level,
    to allow parameterizing the existing PHY package code.
 
  - Enable Rx hashing (RSS) on GTP protocol fields.
 
 Misc
 ----
 
  - Improvements and refactoring all over networking selftests.
 
  - Create uniform module aliases for TC classifiers, actions,
    and packet schedulers to simplify creating modprobe policies.
 
  - Address all missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() warnings in networking.
 
  - Extend the Netlink descriptions in YAML to cover message encapsulation
    or "Netlink polymorphism", where interpretation of nested attributes
    depends on link type, classifier type or some other "class type".
