1) Replace the open-coded manual cleanup in xfrm_add_policy() error
path with xfrm_policy_destroy() for consistency with
xfrm_policy_construct().
From Deepanshu Kartikey.
2) Limit XFRMA_TFCPAD to a sensible maximum (max IP length, 64k) since
u32 is excessive for traffic flow confidentiality padding.
From David Ahern.
3) Add a new netlink message XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE_STATE that
allows migrating individual IPsec SAs independently of
their policies. The existing XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE is tightly coupled
to policy+SA migration, lacks SPI for unique SA identification,
and cannot express reqid changes or migrate Transport mode
selectors. The new interface identifies the SA via SPI and mark,
supports reqid changes, address family changes, encap removal,
and uses an atomic create+install flow under x->lock to prevent
SN/IV reuse during AEAD SA migration.
From Antony Antony.

This sysctl is going to be used in the next commits to drop TCP
timestamps option, to be able to send an ADD_ADDR with a v6 IP address
and a port number. It is enabled by default.
This knob is explicitly disabled in the MPTCP Join selftest, with the
"signal addr list progresses after tx drop" subtest, to continue
verifying the previous behaviour where the ADD_ADDR is not sent due to a
lack of space.
While at it, move syn_retrans_before_tcp_fallback down from struct

When an 802.3ad (LACP) bonding interface has no slaves in the
collecting/distributing state, the bonding master still reports
carrier as up as long as at least 'min_links' slaves have carrier.
In this situation, only one slave is effectively used for TX/RX,
while traffic received on other slaves is dropped. Upper-layer
daemons therefore consider the interface operational, even though
traffic may be blackholed if the lack of LACP negotiation means
the partner is not ready to deal with traffic.
Introduce a configuration knob to control this behavior. It allows
the bonding master to assert carrier only when at least 'min_links'
slaves are in Collecting_Distributing state.
The default mode preserves the existing behavior. This patch only
introduces the knob; its behavior is implemented in the subsequent
commit.

Some drivers may not be able to use the Netlink API

Some virtual devices like netkit (or ifb) never DMA and never touch frag
contents, they just forward the skb to another device. They are unable
to forward unreadable skbs, however, because they fail to pass TX
validation checks on dev->netmem_tx. The existing two-state
NETMEM_TX_NONE / NETMEM_TX_DMA doesn't give the TX validator enough
information to differentiate devices that will attempt DMA on the
unreadable skb from those that will simply route it untouched.
Add a third mode to the enum so drivers can indicate 1) if they have
netmem TX support, and 2) if they do, whether they are DMA-capable:
NETMEM_TX_NO_DMA - pass-through, device never DMAs
Widen dev->netmem_tx from a 1-bit field to 2 bits to fit the new value,
and declare netkit as NETMEM_TX_NO_DMA. Devmem TX support over these
devices comes in a follow-up patch.

Devices that support netmem TX previously set dev->netmem_tx = true.
This was checked in validate_xmit_unreadable_skb() to drop unreadable
skbs (skbs with dmabuf-backed frags) before they reach drivers that
would mishandle them or devices that would not have the iommu mappings
for them.
A subsequent patch will introduce a third state for virtual devices
that forward unreadable skbs without ever performing DMA on them. To
prepare for that, convert the boolean dev->netmem_tx into an enum:
NETMEM_TX_NONE - no netmem TX support (drop unreadable skbs)
NETMEM_TX_DMA - full support, device does DMA
Update the existing NIC drivers (bnxt, gve, mlx5, fbnic) and the
validators in net/core to use the new enum. No functional change.

The cs89x0 driver is really two in one, and they are mutually exclusive:
- the ISA driver was used on 486-era PCs. It likely has no remaining
users, like the other ethernet drivers that got removed in
linux-7.1. The DMA support in here is the last device driver use of
the deprecated isa_bus_to_virt() interface, all other users are either
x86 specific or or got converted to the normal dma-mapping interface.
The driver was maintained by Andrew Morton at the time, based on
the linux-2.2 vendor driver from Cirrus Logic.
- the platform_driver instance was used on some embedded Arm boards
around the same time, such as the EP7211 Development Kit. This
is the same chip, but uses modern devicetree based probing and no DMA.
This was added by Alexander Shiyan.
Remove the ISA driver as a cleanup, including all of the outdated
documentation referring to its configuration.

Pull networking deletions from Jakub Kicinski:
"Delete some obsolete networking code
Old code like amateur radio and NFC have long been a burden to core
networking developers. syzbot loves to find bugs in BKL-era code, and
noobs try to fix them.
If we want to have a fighting chance of surviving the LLM-pocalypse
this code needs to find a dedicated owner or get deleted. We've talked
about these deletions multiple times in the past and every time
someone wanted the code to stay. It is never very clear to me how many
of those people actually use the code vs are just nostalgic to see it
go. Amateur radio did have occasional users (or so I think) but most
users switched to user space implementations since its all super slow
stuff. Nobody stepped up to maintain the kernel code.

we're giving that a chance. Let's try to put the rest of this code
behind us"

Not-so-coincidentally, according to "the Internet" ST-Ericsson officially
shut down its modem joint venture in Aug 2013.
If anyone is using this code please yell!
In the 13 years since, the code has accumulated 200 non-merge commits,
of which 71 were cross-tree API changes, 21 carried Fixes: tags, and
the remaining ~110 were cleanups, doc conversions, treewide refactors,
and one partial removal (caif_hsi, ca75bcf0a8).
We are still getting fixes to this code, in the last 10 days there were
3 reports on security@ about CAIF that I have been CCed on.
UAPI constants (AF_CAIF, ARPHRD_CAIF, N_CAIF, VIRTIO_ID_CAIF) and the
SELinux classmap entry are intentionally kept for ABI stability.

Add ndo_set_rx_mode_async callback that drivers can implement instead
of the legacy ndo_set_rx_mode. The legacy callback runs under the
netif_addr_lock spinlock with BHs disabled, preventing drivers from
sleeping. The async variant runs from a work queue with rtnl_lock and
netdev_lock_ops held, in fully sleepable context.
When __dev_set_rx_mode() sees ndo_set_rx_mode_async, it schedules
netdev_rx_mode_work instead of calling the driver inline. The work
function takes two snapshots of each address list (uc/mc) under
the addr_lock, then drops the lock and calls the driver with the
work copies. After the driver returns, it reconciles the snapshots
back to the real lists under the lock.
Add netif_rx_mode_sync() to opportunistically execute the pending
workqueue update inline, so that rx mode changes are committed
before returning to userspace:
- dev_change_flags (SIOCSIFFLAGS / RTM_NEWLINK)
- dev_set_promiscuity
- dev_set_allmulti
- dev_ifsioc SIOCADDMULTI / SIOCDELMULTI
- do_setlink (RTM_SETLINK)
Note that some deep hierarchies still do skip the lower updates via:
- dev_uc_sync
- dev_mc_sync
If we do end up hitting user-visible issues, we can add more calls to
netif_rx_mode_sync in specific places. But hopefully we should not,
the actual user-visible lists are still synced, it's that just HW state
that might be lagging.

4) reject empty/not nul terminated device names from xt_physdev.

But clean this up anyway because conceptually the interface name
definitely should be a c-string.
5) Switch nfnetlink to skb_mac_header helpers that didn't exist back

but is not intended to change functionality.
6) Let the xt ttl/hoplimit match reject unknown operator modes.
This is a cleanup, the evaluation function simply returns false when
the mode is out of range. From Marino Dzalto.
7) xt_socket match should enable defrag after all other checks. This
bug is harmless, historically defrag could not be disabled either
except by rmmod.
8) remove UDP-Lite conntrack support, from Fernando Fernandez Mancera.
9) Avoid a couple -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end warnings in the old
