Merge tag 'net-next-6.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Core & protocols:

- Wrap datapath globals into net_aligned_data, to avoid false sharing

- Preserve MSG_ZEROCOPY in forwarding (e.g. out of a container)

- Add SO_INQ and SCM_INQ support to AF_UNIX

- Add SIOCINQ support to AF_VSOCK

- Add TCP_MAXSEG sockopt to MPTCP

- Add IPv6 force_forwarding sysctl to enable forwarding per interface

- Make TCP validation of whether packet fully fits in the receive
window and the rcv_buf more strict. With increased use of HW
aggregation a single "packet" can be multiple 100s of kB

- Add MSG_MORE flag to optimize large TCP transmissions via sockmap,
improves latency up to 33% for sockmap users

- Convert TCP send queue handling from tasklet to BH workque

- Improve BPF iteration over TCP sockets to see each socket exactly
once

- Remove obsolete and unused TCP RFC3517/RFC6675 loss recovery code

- Support enabling kernel threads for NAPI processing on per-NAPI
instance basis rather than a whole device. Fully stop the kernel
NAPI thread when threaded NAPI gets disabled. Previously thread
would stick around until ifdown due to tricky synchronization

- Allow multicast routing to take effect on locally-generated packets

- Add output interface argument for End.X in segment routing

- MCTP: add support for gateway routing, improve bind() handling

- Don't require rtnl_lock when fetching an IPv6 neighbor over Netlink

- Add a new neighbor flag ("extern_valid"), which cedes refresh
responsibilities to userspace. This is needed for EVPN multi-homing
where a neighbor entry for a multi-homed host needs to be synced
across all the VTEPs among which the host is multi-homed

- Support NUD_PERMANENT for proxy neighbor entries

- Add a new queuing discipline for IETF RFC9332 DualQ Coupled AQM

- Add sequence numbers to netconsole messages. Unregister
netconsole's console when all net targets are removed. Code
refactoring. Add a number of selftests

- Align IPSec inbound SA lookup to RFC 4301. Only SPI and protocol
should be used for an inbound SA lookup

- Support inspecting ref_tracker state via DebugFS

- Don't force bonding advertisement frames tx to ~333 ms boundaries.
Add broadcast_neighbor option to send ARP/ND on all bonded links

- Allow providing upcall pid for the 'execute' command in openvswitch

- Remove DCCP support from Netfilter's conntrack

- Disallow multiple packet duplications in the queuing layer

- Prevent use of deprecated iptables code on PREEMPT_RT

Driver API:

- Support RSS and hashing configuration over ethtool Netlink

- Add dedicated ethtool callbacks for getting and setting hashing
fields

- Add support for power budget evaluation strategy in PSE /
Power-over-Ethernet. Generate Netlink events for overcurrent etc

Support providing clock reference and SYNC over separate DPLL
inputs

management

====================
Introducing Broadcom BNGE Ethernet Driver

This patch series introduces the Ethernet driver for Broadcom’s
BCM5770X chip family, which supports 50/100/200/400/800 Gbps
link speeds. The driver is built as the bng_en.ko kernel module.

To keep the series within a reviewable size (~5K lines of code), this initial
submission focuses on the core infrastructure and initialization, including:
1) PCIe support (device IDs, probe/remove)
2) Devlink support
3) Firmware communication mechanism
4) Creation of network device
5) PF Resource management (rings, IRQs, etc. for netdev & aux dev)

Support for Tx/Rx datapaths, link management, ethtool/devlink operations
and additional features will be introduced in the subsequent patch series.

The bng_en driver shares the bnxt_hsi.h file with the bnxt_en driver,
as the bng_en driver leverages the hardware communication protocol
used by the bnxt_en driver.

bng_en: Initialize default configuration

Query resources from the firmware and, based on the
availability of resources, initialize the default
settings. The default settings include:
1. Rings and other resource reservations with the
firmware. This ensures that resources are reserved
before network and auxiliary devices are created.
2. Mapping the BAR, which helps access doorbells since
its size is known after querying the firmware.
3. Retrieving the TCs and hardware CoS queue mappings.

bng_en: Add resource management support

Get the resources and capabilities from the firmware.
Add functions to manage the resources with the firmware.
These functions will help netdev reserve the resources
with the firmware before registering the device in future
patches. The resources and their information, such as
the maximum available and reserved, are part of the members
present in the bnge_hw_resc struct.
The bnge_reserve_rings() function also populates
the RSS table entries once the RX rings are reserved with
the firmware.
