        <link>http://opengrok.net:8080/history/linux/drivers/net/phy/Makefile#37a93dd5c49b5fda807fd204edf2547c3493319c</link>
        <description>Merge tag &apos;net-next-7.0&apos; of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-nextPull networking updates from Paolo Abeni: &quot;Core &amp; protocols:   - A significant effort all around the stack to guide the compiler to     make the right choice when inlining code, to avoid unneeded calls     for small helper and stack canary overhead in the fast-path.     This generates better and faster code with very small or no text     size increases, as in many cases the call generated more code than     the actual inlined helper.   - Extend AccECN implementation so that is now functionally complete,     also allow the user-space enabling it on a per network namespace     basis.   - Add support for memory providers with large (above 4K) rx buffer.     Paired with hw-gro, larger rx buffer sizes reduce the number of     buffers traversing the stack, dincreasing single stream CPU usage     by up to ~30%.   - Do not add HBH header to Big TCP GSO packets. This simplifies the     RX path, the TX path and the NIC drivers, and is possible because     user-space taps can now interpret correctly such packets without     the HBH hint.   - Allow IPv6 routes to be configured with a gateway address that is     resolved out of a different interface than the one specified,     aligning IPv6 to IPv4 behavior.   - Multi-queue aware sch_cake. This makes it possible to scale the     rate shaper of sch_cake across multiple CPUs, while still enforcing     a single global rate on the interface.   - Add support for the nbcon (new buffer console) infrastructure to     netconsole, enabling lock-free, priority-based console operations     that are safer in crash scenarios.   - Improve the TCP ipv6 output path to cache the flow information,     saving cpu cycles, reducing cache line misses and stack use.   - Improve netfilter packet tracker to resolve clashes for most     protocols, avoiding unneeded drops on rare occasions.   - Add IP6IP6 tunneling acceleration to the flowtable infrastructure.   - Reduce tcp socket size by one cache line.   - Notify neighbour changes atomically, avoiding inconsistencies     between the notification sequence and the actual states sequence.   - Add vsock namespace support, allowing complete isolation of vsocks     across different network namespaces.   - Improve xsk generic performances with cache-alignment-oriented     optimizations.   - Support netconsole automatic target recovery, allowing netconsole     to reestablish targets when underlying low-level interface comes     back online.  Driver API:   - Support for switching the working mode (automatic vs manual) of a     DPLL device via netlink.   - Introduce PHY ports representation to expose multiple front-facing     media ports over a single MAC.   - Introduce &quot;rx-polarity&quot; and &quot;tx-polarity&quot; device tree properties,     to generalize polarity inversion requirements for differential     signaling.   - Add helper to create, prepare and enable managed clocks.  Device drivers:   - Add Huawei hinic3 PF etherner driver.   - Add DWMAC glue driver for Motorcomm YT6801 PCIe ethernet     controller.   - Add ethernet driver for MaxLinear MxL862xx switches   - Remove parallel-port Ethernet driver.   - Convert existing driver timestamp configuration reporting to     hwtstamp_get and remove legacy ioctl().   - Convert existing drivers to .get_rx_ring_count(), simplifing the RX     ring count retrieval. Also remove the legacy fallback path.   - Ethernet high-speed NICs:      - Broadcom (bnxt, bng):         - bnxt: add FW interface update to support FEC stats histogram           and NVRAM defragmentation         - bng: add TSO and H/W GRO support      - nVidia/Mellanox (mlx5):         - improve latency of channel restart operations, reducing the           used H/W resources         - add TSO support for UDP over GRE over VLAN         - add flow counters support for hardware steering (HWS) rules         - use a static memory area to store headers for H/W GRO,           leading to 12% RX tput improvement      - Intel (100G, ice, idpf):         - ice: reorganizes layout of Tx and Rx rings for cacheline           locality and utilizes __cacheline_group* macros on the new           layouts         - ice: introduces Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) support      - Meta (fbnic):         - adds debugfs for firmware mailbox and tx/rx rings vectors   - Ethernet virtual:      - geneve: introduce GRO/GSO support for double UDP encapsulation   - Ethernet NICs consumer, and embedded:      - Synopsys (stmmac):         - some code refactoring and cleanups      - RealTek (r8169):         - add support for RTL8127ATF (10G Fiber SFP)         - add dash and LTR support      - Airoha:         - AN8811HB 2.5 Gbps phy support      - Freescale (fec):         - add XDP zero-copy support      - Thunderbolt:         - add get link setting support to allow bonding      - Renesas:         - add support for RZ/G3L GBETH SoC   - Ethernet switches:      - Maxlinear:         - support R(G)MII slow rate configuration         - add support for Intel GSW150      - Motorcomm (yt921x):         - add DCB/QoS support      - TI:         - icssm-prueth: support bridging (STP/RSTP) via the switchdev           framework   - Ethernet PHYs:      - Realtek:         - enable SGMII and 2500Base-X in-band auto-negotiation         - simplify and reunify C22/C45 drivers      - Micrel: convert bindings to DT schema   - CAN:      - move skb headroom content into skb extensions, making CAN        metadata access more robust   - CAN drivers:      - rcar_canfd:         - add support for FD-only mode         - add support for the RZ/T2H SoC      - sja1000: cleanup the CAN state handling   - WiFi:      - implement EPPKE/802.1X over auth frames support      - split up drop reasons better, removing generic RX_DROP      - additional FTM capabilities: 6 GHz support, supported number of        spatial streams and supported number of LTF repetitions      - better mac80211 iterators to enumerate resources      - initial UHR (Wi-Fi 8) support for cfg80211/mac80211   - WiFi drivers:      - Qualcomm/Atheros:         - ath11k: support for Channel Frequency Response measurement         - ath12k: a significant driver refactor to support multi-wiphy           devices and and pave the way for future device support in the           same driver (rather than splitting to ath13k)         - ath12k: support for the QCC2072 chipset      - Intel:         - iwlwifi: partial Neighbor Awareness Networking (NAN) support         - iwlwifi: initial support for U-NII-9 and IEEE 802.11bn      - RealTek (rtw89):         - preparations for RTL8922DE support   - Bluetooth:      - implement setsockopt(BT_PHY) to set the connection packet type/PHY      - set link_policy on incoming ACL connections   - Bluetooth drivers:      - btusb: add support for MediaTek7920, Realtek RTL8761BU and 8851BE      - btqca: add WCN6855 firmware priority selection feature&quot;* tag &apos;net-next-7.0&apos; of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next: (1254 commits)  bnge/bng_re: Add a new HSI  net: macb: Fix tx/rx malfunction after phy link down and up  af_unix: Fix memleak of newsk in unix_stream_connect().  net: ti: icssg-prueth: Add optional dependency on HSR  net: dsa: add basic initial driver for MxL862xx switches  net: mdio: add unlocked mdiodev C45 bus accessors  net: dsa: add tag format for MxL862xx switches  dt-bindings: net: dsa: add MaxLinear MxL862xx  selftests: drivers: net: hw: Modify toeplitz.c to poll for packets  octeontx2-pf: Unregister devlink on probe failure  net: renesas: rswitch: fix forwarding offload statemachine  ionic: Rate limit unknown xcvr type messages  tcp: inet6_csk_xmit() optimization  tcp: populate inet-&gt;cork.fl.u.ip6 in tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock()  tcp: populate inet-&gt;cork.fl.u.ip6 in tcp_v6_connect()  ipv6: inet6_csk_xmit() and inet6_csk_update_pmtu() use inet-&gt;cork.fl.u.ip6  ipv6: use inet-&gt;cork.fl.u.ip6 and np-&gt;final in ip6_datagram_dst_update()  ipv6: use np-&gt;final in inet6_sk_rebuild_header()  ipv6: add daddr/final storage in struct ipv6_pinfo  net: stmmac: qcom-ethqos: fix qcom_ethqos_serdes_powerup()  ...

        <description>Merge branch &apos;net-phy-introduce-phy-ports-representation&apos;Maxime Chevallier says:====================net: phy: Introduce PHY ports representationA few important notes: - This is only a first phase. It instantiates the port, and leverage   that to make the MAC &lt;-&gt; PHY &lt;-&gt; SFP usecase simpler. - Next phase will deal with controlling the port state, as well as the   netlink uAPI for that. - The end-goal is to enable support for complex port MUX. This   preliminary work focuses on PHY-driven ports, but this will be   extended to support muxing at the MII level (Multi-phy, or compo PHY   + SFP as found on Turris Omnia for example). - The naming is definitely not set in stone. I named that &quot;phy_port&quot;,   but this may convey the false sense that this is phylib-specific.   Even the word &quot;port&quot; is not that great, as it already has several   different meanings in the net world (switch port, devlink port,   etc.). I used the term &quot;connector&quot; in the binding.A bit of history on that work :The end goal that I personnaly want to achieve is :            + PHY - RJ45            | MAC - MUX -+ PHY - RJ45After many discussions here on netdev@, but also at netdevconf[1] andLPC[2], there appears to be several analoguous designs that exist outthere.[1] : https://netdevconf.info/0x17/sessions/talk/improving-multi-phy-and-multi-port-interfaces.html[2] : https://lpc.events/event/18/contributions/1964/ (video isn&apos;t theright one)Take the MAchiatobin, it has 2 interfaces that looks like this : MAC - PHY -+ RJ45            |	    + SFP - Whatever the module doesNow, looking at the Turris Omnia, we have : MAC - MUX -+ PHY - RJ45            |	    + SFP - Whatever the module doesWe can find more example of this kind of designs, the common part isthat we expose multiple front-facing media ports. This is what thiscurrent work aims at supporting. As of right now, it does&apos;nt add anysupport for muxing, but this will come later on.This first phase focuses on phy-driven ports only, but there are alreadyquite some challenges already. For one, we can&apos;t really autodetect howmany ports are sitting behind a PHY. That&apos;s why this series introduces anew binding. Describing ports in DT should however be a last-resortthing when we need to clear some ambiguity about the PHY media-side.The only use-cases that we have today for multi-port PHYs are combo PHYsthat drive both a Copper port and an SFP (the Macchiatobin case). Thisin itself is challenging and this series only addresses part of thissupport, by registering a phy_port for the PHY &lt;-&gt; SFP connection. TheSFP module should in the end be considered as a port as well, but that&apos;snot yet the case.However, because now PHYs can register phy_ports for every media-sideinterface they have, they can register the capabilities of their ports,which allows making the PHY-driver SFP case much more generic.====================Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260108080041.553250-1-maxime.chevallier@bootlin.comSigned-off-by: Jakub Kicinski &lt;kuba@kernel.org&gt;

        <description>net: phy: Introduce PHY ports representationEthernet provides a wide variety of layer 1 protocols and standards fordata transmission. The front-facing ports of an interface have their owncomplexity and configurability.Introduce a representation of these front-facing ports. The current codeis minimalistic and only support ports controlled by PHY devices, butthe plan is to extend that to SFP as well as raw Ethernet MACs thatdon&apos;t use PHY devices.This minimal port representation allows describing the media and numberof pairs of a BaseT port. From that information, we can derive thelinkmodes usable on the port, which can be used to limit thecapabilities of an interface.For now, the port pairs and medium is derived from devicetree, definedby the PHY driver, or populated with default values (as we assume thatall PHYs expose at least one port).The typical example is 100M ethernet. 100BaseTX works using only 2pairs on a Cat 5 cables. However, in the situation where a 10/100/1000capable PHY is wired to its RJ45 port through 2 pairs only, we have noway of detecting that. The &quot;max-speed&quot; DT property can be used, but amore accurate representation can be used :mdi {	connector-0 {		media = &quot;BaseT&quot;;		pairs = &lt;2&gt;;	};};From that information, we can derive the max speed reachable on theport.Another benefit of having that is to avoid vendor-specific DT properties(micrel,fiber-mode or ti,fiber-mode).This basic representation is meant to be expanded, by the introductionof port ops, userspace listing of ports, and support for multi-portdevices.Reviewed-by: Christophe Leroy &lt;christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu&gt;Signed-off-by: Maxime Chevallier &lt;maxime.chevallier@bootlin.com&gt;Reviewed-by: Andrew Lunn &lt;andrew@lunn.ch&gt;Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260108080041.553250-4-maxime.chevallier@bootlin.comSigned-off-by: Jakub Kicinski &lt;kuba@kernel.org&gt;

        <link>http://opengrok.net:8080/history/linux/drivers/net/phy/Makefile#07fdad3a93756b872da7b53647715c48d0f4a2d0</link>
        <description>Merge tag &apos;net-next-6.18&apos; of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-nextPull networking updates from Paolo Abeni: &quot;Core &amp; protocols:   - Improve drop account scalability on NUMA hosts for RAW and UDP     sockets and the backlog, almost doubling the Pps capacity under DoS   - Optimize the UDP RX performance under stress, reducing contention,     revisiting the binary layout of the involved data structs and     implementing NUMA-aware locking. This improves UDP RX performance     by an additional 50%, even more under extreme conditions   - Add support for PSP encryption of TCP connections; this mechanism     has some similarities with IPsec and TLS, but offers superior HW     offloads capabilities   - Ongoing work to support Accurate ECN for TCP. AccECN allows more     than one congestion notification signal per RTT and is a building     block for Low Latency, Low Loss, and Scalable Throughput (L4S)   - Reorganize the TCP socket binary layout for data locality, reducing     the number of touched cachelines in the fastpath   - Refactor skb deferral free to better scale on large multi-NUMA     hosts, this improves TCP and UDP RX performances significantly on     such HW   - Increase the default socket memory buffer limits from 256K to 4M to     better fit modern link speeds   - Improve handling of setups with a large number of nexthop, making     dump operating scaling linearly and avoiding unneeded     synchronize_rcu() on delete   - Improve bridge handling of VLAN FDB, storing a single entry per     bridge instead of one entry per port; this makes the dump order of     magnitude faster on large switches   - Restore IP ID correctly for encapsulated packets at GSO     segmentation time, allowing GRO to merge packets in more scenarios   - Improve netfilter matching performance on large sets   - Improve MPTCP receive path performance by leveraging recently     introduced core infrastructure (skb deferral free) and adopting     recent TCP autotuning changes   - Allow bridges to redirect to a backup port when the bridge port is     administratively down   - Introduce MPTCP &apos;laminar&apos; endpoint that con be used only once per     connection and simplify common MPTCP setups   - Add RCU safety to dst-&gt;dev, closing a lot of possible races   - A significant crypto library API for SCTP, MPTCP and IPv6 SR,     reducing code duplication   - Supports pulling data from an skb frag into the linear area of an     XDP buffer  Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:   - Generate netlink documentation from YAML using an integrated YAML     parser  Driver API:   - Support using IPv6 Flow Label in Rx hash computation and RSS queue     selection   - Introduce API for fetching the DMA device for a given queue,     allowing TCP zerocopy RX on more H/W setups   - Make XDP helpers compatible with unreadable memory, allowing more     easily building DevMem-enabled drivers with a unified XDP/skbs     datapath   - Add a new dedicated ethtool callback enabling drivers to provide     the number of RX rings directly, improving efficiency and clarity     in RX ring queries and RSS configuration   - Introduce a burst period for the health reporter, allowing better     handling of multiple errors due to the same root cause   - Support for DPLL phase offset exponential moving average,     controlling the average smoothing factor  Device drivers:   - Add a new Huawei driver for 3rd gen NIC (hinic3)   - Add a new SpacemiT driver for K1 ethernet MAC   - Add a generic abstraction for shared memory communication     devices (dibps)   - Ethernet high-speed NICs:      - nVidia/Mellanox:         - Use multiple per-queue doorbell, to avoid MMIO contention           issues         - support adjacent functions, allowing them to delegate their           SR-IOV VFs to sibling PFs         - support RSS for IPSec offload         - support exposing raw cycle counters in PTP and mlx5         - support for disabling host PFs.      - Intel (100G, ice, idpf):         - ice: support for SRIOV VFs over an Active-Active link           aggregate         - ice: support for firmware logging via debugfs         - ice: support for Earliest TxTime First (ETF) hardware offload         - idpf: support basic XDP functionalities and XSk      - Broadcom (bnxt):         - support Hyper-V VF ID         - dynamic SRIOV resource allocations for RoCE      - Meta (fbnic):         - support queue API, zero-copy Rx and Tx         - support basic XDP functionalities         - devlink health support for FW crashes and OTP mem corruptions         - expand hardware stats coverage to FEC, PHY, and Pause      - Wangxun:         - support ethtool coalesce options         - support for multiple RSS contexts   - Ethernet virtual:      - Macsec:         - replace custom netlink attribute checks with policy-level           checks      - Bonding:         - support aggregator selection based on port priority      - Microsoft vNIC:         - use page pool fragments for RX buffers instead of full pages           to improve memory efficiency   - Ethernet NICs consumer, and embedded:      - Qualcomm: support Ethernet function for IPQ9574 SoC      - Airoha: implement wlan offloading via NPU      - Freescale         - enetc: add NETC timer PTP driver and add PTP support         - fec: enable the Jumbo frame support for i.MX8QM      - Renesas (R-Car S4):         - support HW offloading for layer 2 switching         - support for RZ/{T2H, N2H} SoCs      - Cadence (macb): support TAPRIO traffic scheduling      - TI:         - support for Gigabit ICSS ethernet SoC (icssm-prueth)      - Synopsys (stmmac): a lot of cleanups   - Ethernet PHYs:      - Support 10g-qxgmi phy-mode for AQR412C, Felix DSA and Lynx PCS        driver      - Support bcm63268 GPHY power control      - Support for Micrel lan8842 PHY and PTP      - Support for Aquantia AQR412 and AQR115   - CAN:      - a large CAN-XL preparation work      - reorganize raw_sock and uniqframe struct to minimize memory        usage      - rcar_canfd: update the CAN-FD handling   - WiFi:      - extended Neighbor Awareness Networking (NAN) support      - S1G channel representation cleanup      - improve S1G support   - WiFi drivers:      - Intel (iwlwifi):         - major refactor and cleanup      - Broadcom (brcm80211):         - support for AP isolation      - RealTek (rtw88/89) rtw88/89:         - preparation work for RTL8922DE support      - MediaTek (mt76):         - HW restart improvements         - MLO support      - Qualcomm/Atheros (ath10k):         - GTK rekey fixes   - Bluetooth drivers:      - btusb: support for several new IDs for MT7925      - btintel: support for BlazarIW core      - btintel_pcie: support for _suspend() / _resume()      - btintel_pcie: support for Scorpious, Panther Lake-H484 IDs&quot;* tag &apos;net-next-6.18&apos;
