<content type='text'>
Bringing a linked netdevsim device down and then up causes communication
failure because both interfaces lack carrier. Basically a ifdown/ifup on
the interface make the link broken.

Commit 3762ec05a9fbda ("netdevsim: add NAPI support") added supported
for NAPI, calling netif_carrier_off() in nsim_stop(). This patch
re-enables the carrier symmetrically on nsim_open(), in case the device
is linked and the peer is up.

Provide a PSP implementation for netdevsim.

Use psp_dev_encapsulate() and psp_dev_rcv() to do actual encapsulation
and decapsulation on skbs, but perform no encryption or decryption. In
order to make encryption with a bad key result in a drop on the peer's
rx side, we stash our psd's generation number in the first byte of each
key before handing to the peer.

IEEE 802.3ck-2022 defines counters for FEC bins and 802.3df-2024
clarifies it a bit further. Implement reporting interface through as
addition to FEC stats available in ethtool. Drivers can leave bin
counter uninitialized if per-lane values are provided. In this case the
core will recalculate summ for the bin.

<title>net: replace use of system_unbound_wq with system_dfl_wq</title>

<content type='text'>
Currently if a user enqueue a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the
used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use
WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to
schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use
again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND.

This lack of consistentcy cannot be addressed without refactoring the API.

system_unbound_wq should be the default workqueue so as not to enforce
locality constraints for random work whenever it's not required.

Adding system_dfl_wq to encourage its use when unbound work should be used.

The old system_unbound_wq will be kept for a few release cycles.

<title>devlink: Move graceful period parameter to reporter ops</title>

Move the default graceful period from a parameter to
devlink_health_reporter_create() to a field in the
devlink_health_reporter_ops structure.

This change improves consistency, as the graceful period is inherently
tied to the reporter's behavior and recovery policy. It simplifies the
signature of devlink_health_reporter_create() and its internal helper
functions. It also centralizes the reporter configuration at the ops
structure, preparing the groundwork for a downstream patch that will
introduce a devlink health reporter burst period attribute whose
default value will similarly be provided by the driver via the ops
structure.

When nsim_queue_uninit() is called from nsim_init_netdevsim(),
register_netdevice() has not been called, thus dev-&gt;dstats has
not been allocated.

Let's not call dev_dstats_rx_dropped_add() in such a case.

To eliminate the use of struct page in page pool, the page pool users
should use netmem descriptor and APIs instead.

Make netdevsim access -&gt;pp through netmem_desc instead of page.

Netdevsim emulates firmware update and it takes 5 seconds to complete.
For some use cases, this is too long and unnecessary. Allow user to
configure the time by exposing debugfs a knob to set chunk time.

Add basic XDP support by hooking in do_xdp_generic().
This should be enough to validate most basic XDP tests.

bool notify is referenced nowhere else in the function except to check
whether or not to call rtnl_offload_xstats_notify(). Remove it and move
the call to the previous branch.
