Pull networking changes from Jakub Kicinski:
 "WiFi 7 and sendpage changes are the biggest pieces of work for this
  release. The latter will definitely require fixes but I think that we
  got it to a reasonable point.

  Core:

   - Rework the sendpage &amp; splice implementations

     Instead of feeding data into sockets page by page extend sendmsg
     handlers to support taking a reference on the data, controlled by a
     new flag called MSG_SPLICE_PAGES

     Rework the handling of unexpected-end-of-file to invoke an
     additional callback instead of trying to predict what the right
     combination of MORE/NOTLAST flags is

     Remove the MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST flag completely

   - Implement SCM_PIDFD, a new type of CMSG type analogous to
     SCM_CREDENTIALS, but it contains pidfd instead of plain pid

   - Enable socket busy polling with CONFIG_RT

   - Improve reliability and efficiency of reporting for ref_tracker

   - Auto-generate a user space C library for various Netlink families

  Protocols:

   - Allow TCP to shrink the advertised window when necessary, prevent
     sk_rcvbuf auto-tuning from growing the window all the way up to
     tcp_rmem[2]

   - Use per-VMA locking for "page-flipping" TCP receive zerocopy

   - Prepare TCP for device-to-device data transfers, by making sure
     that payloads are always attached to skbs as page frags

   - Make the backoff time for the first N TCP SYN retransmissions
     linear. Exponential backoff is unnecessarily conservative

   - Create a new MPTCP getsockopt to retrieve all info
     (MPTCP_FULL_INFO)

   - Avoid waking up applications using TLS sockets until we have a full
     record

   - Allow using kernel memory for protocol ioctl callbacks, paving the
     way to issuing ioctls over io_uring

   - Add nolocalbypass option to VxLAN, forcing packets to be fully
     encapsulated even if they are destined for a local IP address

   - Make TCPv4 use consistent hash in TIME_WAIT and SYN_RECV. Ensure
     in-kernel ECMP implementation (e.g. Open vSwitch) select the same
     link for all packets. Support L4 symmetric hashing in Open vSwitch

   - PPPoE: make number of hash bits configurable

   - Allow DNS to be overwritten by DHCPACK in the in-kernel DHCP client
     (ipconfig)

   - Add layer 2 miss indication and filtering, allowing higher layers
     (e.g. ACL filters) to make forwarding decisions based on whether
     packet matched forwarding state in lower devices (bridge)

   - Support matching on Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) packets

   - Hide the "link becomes ready" IPv6 messages by demoting their
     printk level to debug

   - HSR: don't enable promiscuous mode if device offloads the proto

   - Support active scanning in IEEE 802.15.4

   - Continue work on Multi-Link Operation for WiFi 7

  BPF:

   - Add precision propagation for subprogs and callbacks. This allows
     maintaining verification efficiency when subprograms are used, or
     in fact passing the verifier at all for complex programs,
     especially those using open-coded iterators

   - Improve BPF's {g,s}setsockopt() length handling. Previously BPF
     assumed the length is always equal to the amount of written data.
     But some protos allow passing a NULL buffer to discover what the
     output buffer *should* be, without writing anything

   - Accept dynptr memory as memory arguments passed to helpers

   - Add routing table ID to bpf_fib_lookup BPF helper

   - Support O_PATH FDs in BPF_OBJ_PIN and BPF_OBJ_GET commands

   - Drop bpf_capable() check in BPF_MAP_FREEZE command (used to mark
     maps as read-only)

   - Show target_{obj,btf}_id in tracing link fdinfo

   - Addition of several new kfuncs (most of the names are
     self-explanatory):
      - Add a set of new dynptr kfuncs: bpf_dynptr_adjust(),
        bpf_dynptr_is_null(), bpf_dynptr_is_rdonly(), bpf_dynptr_size()
        and bpf_dynptr_clone().
      - bpf_task_under_cgroup()
      - bpf_sock_destroy() - force closing sockets
      - bpf_cpumask_first_and(), rework bpf_cpumask_any*() kfuncs

  Netfilter:

   - Relax set/map validation checks in nf_tables. Allow checking
     presence of an entry in a map without using the value

   - Increase ip_vs_conn_tab_bits range for 64BIT builds

   - Allow updating size of a set

   - Improve NAT tuple selection when connection is closing

  Driver API:

   - Integrate netdev with LED subsystem, to allow configuring HW
     "offloaded" blinking of LEDs based on link state and activity
     (i.e. packets coming in and out)

   - Support configuring rate selection pins of SFP modules

   - Factor Clause 73 auto-negotiation code out of the drivers, provide
     common helper routines

   - Add more fool-proof helpers for managing lifetime of MDIO devices
     associated with the PCS layer

   - Allow drivers to report advanced statistics related to Time Aware
     scheduler offload (taprio)

   - Allow opting out of VF statistics in link dump, to allow more VFs
     to fit into the message

   - Split devlink instance and devlink port operations

Pull io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:
 "Nothing major in this release, just a bunch of cleanups and some
  optimizations around networking mostly.

   - clean up file request flags handling (Christoph)

   - clean up request freeing and CQ locking (Pavel)

   - support for using pre-registering the io_uring fd at setup time
     (Josh)

   - Add support for user allocated ring memory, rather than having the
     kernel allocate it. Mostly for packing rings into a huge page (me)

   - avoid an unnecessary double retry on receive (me)

   - maintain ordering for task_work, which also improves performance
     (me)

   - misc cleanups/fixes (Pavel, me)"

Pull io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:
 "Nothing major in this release, just a bunch of cleanups and some
  optimizations around networking mostly.

   - clean up file request flags handling (Christoph)

   - clean up request freeing and CQ locking (Pavel)

   - support for using pre-registering the io_uring fd at setup time
     (Josh)

   - Add support for user allocated ring memory, rather than having the
     kernel allocate it. Mostly for packing rings into a huge page (me)

   - avoid an unnecessary double retry on receive (me)

   - maintain ordering for task_work, which also improves performance
     (me)

   - misc cleanups/fixes (Pavel, me)"

Remove -&gt;sendpage() and -&gt;sendpage_locked().  sendmsg() with
MSG_SPLICE_PAGES should be used instead.  This allows multiple pages and
multipage folios to be passed through.

<title>splice, net: Add a splice_eof op to file-ops and socket-ops</title>

<id>2bfc66850952b6921b2033b09729ec59eabbc81d</id>
<content type='text'>
Add an optional method, -&gt;splice_eof(), to allow splice to indicate the
premature termination of a splice to struct file_operations and struct
proto_ops.

This is called if sendfile() or splice() encounters all of the following
conditions inside splice_direct_to_actor():

 (1) the user did not set SPLICE_F_MORE (splice only), and

 (2) an EOF condition occurred (-&gt;splice_read() returned 0), and

 (3) we haven't read enough to fulfill the request (ie. len &gt; 0 still), and

 (4) we have already spliced at least one byte.

A further patch will modify the behaviour of SPLICE_F_MORE to always be
passed to the actor if either the user set it or we haven't yet read
sufficient data to fulfill the request.

<title>splice, net: Use sendmsg(MSG_SPLICE_PAGES) rather than -&gt;sendpage()</title>

<content type='text'>
Replace generic_splice_sendpage() + splice_from_pipe + pipe_to_sendpage()
with a net-specific handler, splice_to_socket(), that calls sendmsg() with
MSG_SPLICE_PAGES set instead of calling -&gt;sendpage().

MSG_MORE is used to indicate if the sendmsg() is expected to be followed
with more data.

This allows multiple pipe-buffer pages to be passed in a single call in a
BVEC iterator, allowing the processing to be pushed down to a loop in the
protocol driver.  This helps pave the way for passing multipage folios down
too.

Protocols that haven't been converted to handle MSG_SPLICE_PAGES yet should
just ignore it and do a normal sendmsg() for now - although that may be a
bit slower as it may copy everything.

Declare MSG_SPLICE_PAGES, an internal sendmsg() flag, that hints to a
network protocol that it should splice pages from the source iterator
rather than copying the data if it can.  This flag is added to a list that
is cleared by sendmsg syscalls on entry.

This is intended as a replacement for the -&gt;sendpage() op, allowing a way
to splice in several multipage folios in one go.

The socket read/write functions deal with O_NONBLOCK and IOCB_NOWAIT
just fine, so we can flag them as being FMODE_NOWAIT compliant. With
this, we can remove socket special casing in io_uring when checking
if a file type is sane for nonblocking IO, and it's also the defined
way to flag file types as such in the kernel.
