Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Not much excitement - a handful of large patchsets (devmem among them)
did not make it in time.
Core & protocols:
- Use local_lock in addition to local_bh_disable() to protect per-CPU
resources in networking, a step closer for local_bh_disable() not
to act as a big lock on PREEMPT_RT
- Use flex array for netdevice priv area, ensure its cache alignment
- Add a sysctl knob to allow user to specify a default rto_min at
socket init time. Bit of a big hammer but multiple companies were
independently carrying such patch downstream so clearly it's useful
- Support scheduling transmission of packets based on CLOCK_TAI
- Un-pin TCP TIMEWAIT timer to avoid it firing on CPUs later cordoned
off using cpusets
- Support multiple L2TPv3 UDP tunnels using the same 5-tuple address
- Allow configuration of multipath hash seed, to both allow
synchronizing hashing of two routers, and preventing partial
accidental sync
- Improve TCP compliance with RFC 9293 for simultaneous connect()
- Support sending NAT keepalives in IPsec ESP in UDP states.
Userspace IKE daemon had to do this before, but the kernel can
better keep track of it
- Support sending supervision HSR frames with MAC addresses stored in
ProxyNodeTable when RedBox (i.e. HSR-SAN) is enabled
- Introduce IPPROTO_SMC for selecting SMC when socket is created
- Allow UDP GSO transmit from devices with no checksum offload
- openvswitch: add packet sampling via psample, separating the
sampled traffic from "upcall" packets sent to user space for
forwarding
- nf_tables: shrink memory consumption for transaction objects
Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:
- Power Sequencing subsystem (used by Qualcomm Bluetooth driver for
QCA6390) [ Already merged separately - Linus ]
- Add IRQ information in sysfs for auxiliary bus
- Introduce guard definition for local_lock
- Add aligned flavor of __cacheline_group_{begin, end}() markings for
grouping fields in structures
BPF:
- Notify user space (via epoll) when a struct_ops object is getting
detached/unregistered
- Add new kfuncs for a generic, open-coded bits iterator
- Enable BPF programs to declare arrays of kptr, bpf_rb_root, and
bpf_list_head
- Support resilient split BTF which cuts down on duplication and
makes BTF as compact as possible WRT BTF from modules
- Add support for dumping kfunc prototypes from BTF which enables
both detecting as well as dumping compilable prototypes for kfuncs
- riscv64 BPF JIT improvements in particular to add 12-argument
support for BPF trampolines and to utilize bpf_prog_pack for the
latter
- Add the capability to offload the netfilter flowtable in XDP layer
through kfuncs
Driver API:
- Allow users to configure IRQ tresholds between which automatic IRQ
moderation can choose
- Expand Power Sourcing (PoE) status with power, class and failure
reason. Support setting power limits
- Track additional RSS contexts in the core, make sure configuration
changes don't break them
- Support IPsec crypto offload for IPv6 ESP and IPv4 UDP-encapsulated
ESP data paths
- Support updating firmware on SFP modules
Tests and tooling:
- mptcp: use net/lib.sh to manage netns
- TCP-AO and TCP-MD5: replace debug prints used by tests with
tracepoints

tools)

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
