Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni: "This includes a significant number of low-priority fixes - especially in the NIC drivers area - that we deferred from the last few RCs in the previous cycle, which can't be easily outlined in the synopsis below. Core & protocols: - Continue the work on removing rtnl_lock dependencies: - per-netns ARP and ND neighbour tables, with the default settings now configurable per netns (inheritance from init_net is controlled by the new net.core.neigh_inherit_init_net sysctl) - RCU-protected configuration and rtnl_lock-less fill_info() for hsr, netkit, sit, vlan and vxlan devices - per-netns device unregistration for ip tunnel and gre devices - use the netdev instance lock instead of rtnl_lock when reading speed and duplex via sysfs - batch the flushing of uncached routes at device unregistration time, relieving rtnl_lock contention on netns dismantle. - Add hardware pacing offload support, admin-controlled via a new rtnetlink attribute, with sch_fq integration (implemented in idpf). - Re-segment BIG TCP GSO packets into GSO packets fitting the egress device limits instead of plain MSS-sized segments, improving throughput for mixed BIG TCP / non-BIG TCP paths by up to 70%. - Generate RSS keys that spread flows over all the RX queues; the previous random keys could leave some queues unused. - Optimize the bridge VLAN forwarding paths: cache the port-VLAN in fdb entries and consider only VLAN members when flooding, for ~10% more Mpps in the fdb forwarding path. - A few TCP/IP performance improvements aimed at efficient cache usage and reducing contention. - Add the TCP ROCCET congestion control, a CUBIC variant aimed at avoiding bufferbloat in cellular networks. - Continue the conversion of getsockopt callbacks to sockopt_t. - Add an ethtool command to list the front-facing ports of an interface, including SFP cages and modules, using the phy_port representation. - Enable BIG TCP support for bareudp tunnels. - Remove the IPV6_ADDRFORM socket option and disallow buggy TCP state transitions (listen() + shutdown() + connect() and connect() + connect(AF_UNSPEC) + listen()). - Remove most BUG_ON()s from core packet processing, replacing them with error paths. Wireless: - Latency improvements, including lockless station get/dump and beacon updates, plus RTNL reduction and locking cleanups. - Infrastructure for non-station TX/RX with MLO. - NAN (Wi-Fi Aware) Instant Communication support and other NAN improvements. - Control frame Integrity Protocol (CIP) and protected TWT support. - Improvements for AP regulatory checks. Netfilter: - Disable br_netfilter in user namespaces and schedule it for removal in 2027. - Restrict the raw table in nft_compat to the specific family, hook and priority. - Prepare the flowtable for mixed IPv4-over-IPv6 tunneling (and vice versa). - Use GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT for most netfilter allocations, for better integration with memcg. - Allow discovering conntrack zone filtering support in ctnetlink dumps, and fix nfnetlink_hook handling of large dumps. Deletions: - Move the LLC type 2 sockets out of tree. There are no known users and the code attracts a never-ending stream of LLM-driven fixes. Device drivers: - New drivers: - Meta Platforms NIC (mpnic), the second-generation NIC from Meta - initial skeleton of the Nebula-matrix NICs driver (nbl) - X-Powers AC200/AC300 Fast Ethernet PHYs - Ethernet high-speed NICs: - Intel: - i40e: XDP metadata support for RX hash and VLAN tag - ice: expose the E825 TSPLL state via the DPLL subsystem - nVidia/Mellanox: - move the data direct infrastructure from IB to core, in preparation for netdev support. - reduce the memory used per offloaded TC rule - Meta (fbnic): - support large io_uring zero-copy RX buffers - Microsoft vNIC (mana): - add BQL support - Ethernet NICs consumer, and embedded: - Airoha: - LRO offload support - Cadence (macb): - context swapping for ringparam and MTU changes, avoiding buffer loss under memory pressure - Mucse (rnpgbe): - TX/RX and link status support - NXP (enetc): - SR-IOV improvements and VF support for ENETC v4 - Qualcomm (ppe): - IPQ5424 support - Realtek PCI (r8169): - phylink support - RSS support for RTL8127 - Renesas (ravb): - gPTP support for R-Car Gen4 - Synopsys (stmmac): - XDP multi-buffer support on the TX side - tc mqprio hw queue priority offload - support for RK3568 SGMII, Allwinner H616 EMAC1, UltraRISC DP1000 and Qualcomm sa8255p - Ethernet switches: - Mediatek (mt7530): - fast age and change conduit support - Microchip (ksz): - support for KSZ8995XA/KS8995XA - Microchip (lan966x): - PCIe FDMA support, ~20x throughput increase in PCIe endpoint - Microchip (sparx5): - Time Aware Shaper (taprio) offload - Motorcomm (yt921x): - LED and SerDes PCS support - Realtek (rtl8365mb): - EEE support - Ethernet PHYs: - Broadcom: - enable jumbo frames on BCM54xx - Realtek: - support for RTL8261CE_CG and RTL8261D_VM - MDIO support for RTL838x and RTL839x - WiFi drivers: - Broadcom (brcmfmac): - FT/OKC roaming offload - Intel (iwlwifi): - UHR sniffer support - support for newer UEFI/BIOS tables - MediaTek (mt76): - mt7925 NAN improvements - offchannel/scan improvements and MLO fixes - Morse Micro (mm81x): - monitor mode support - Qualcomm (ath12k): - IPQ5332 platform infrastructure - Realtek (rtw88): - RTL8723BS support - SDIO TX performance improvements - Realtek (rtw89): - P2P_DEVICE support - BT-coex updates for RTL8922D - Bluetooth: - move H:4 reassembly into the Bluetooth core - add generic support for vendor packets - MGMT: add security level changed event - Bluetooth drivers: - btusb: support Bulk Serialization Mode - Intel: support Draco and Titan Lake, allow unsigned firmware - Mediatek: MT7928 support - Qualcomm: QCC2072 support - Broadcom: Synaptics 4384 support" * tag 'net-next-7.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next: (2126 commits) Bluetooth: btusb: disable by default Qualcomm multi-subsystem tipc: fix broadcast sender hang on last acker departure tipc: fix use-after-free of broadcast reception link at node release r8169: clear TX LPI on RTL8168h at link up after phylink conversion tun: Require CAP_NET_ADMIN to attach to an ownerless device net/sched/sch_cake: drop dead nla_nest_end() error check net/sched/sch_cake: widen buffer_used to u64 net/sched/sch_cake: reduce parent backlog when clearing a tin net/sched/sch_cake: serialize reconfiguration with the datapath tg3: Add Datto SIRIS 5 1U Server to restart AER quirk table net/mlx5e: Stop asserting for RTNL when closing channels net: shrink the payload-only part of skb dataref to one bit net: wwan: iosm: validate msg_head before indexing msg_ring net: bgmac: rate limit RX error messages selftests: net: veth: test XDP_TX to a peer with GRO enabled veth: schedule the peer's NAPI after XDP_TX when only GRO is enabled pppoe: delete session hash entries by pointer match net: lan969x: don't disable hardirqs in fdma tx clear net: sparx5/lan969x: do not clobber the PSFP cycle timer update period net: lan969x: fix DSM calendar for empty taxis ...
