Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
 "Core:

   - Introduce a config option to tweak MAX_SKB_FRAGS. Increasing the
     default value allows for better BIG TCP performances

   - Reduce compound page head access for zero-copy data transfers

   - RPS/RFS improvements, avoiding unneeded NET_RX_SOFTIRQ when
     possible

   - Threaded NAPI improvements, adding defer skb free support and
     unneeded softirq avoidance

   - Address dst_entry reference count scalability issues, via false
     sharing avoidance and optimize refcount tracking

   - Add lockless accesses annotation to sk_err[_soft]

   - Optimize again the skb struct layout

   - Extends the skb drop reasons to make it usable by multiple
     subsystems

   - Better const qualifier awareness for socket casts

  BPF:

   - Add skb and XDP typed dynptrs which allow BPF programs for more
     ergonomic and less brittle iteration through data and
     variable-sized accesses

   - Add a new BPF netfilter program type and minimal support to hook
     BPF programs to netfilter hooks such as prerouting or forward

   - Add more precise memory usage reporting for all BPF map types

   - Adds support for using {FOU,GUE} encap with an ipip device
     operating in collect_md mode and add a set of BPF kfuncs for
     controlling encap params

   - Allow BPF programs to detect at load time whether a particular
     kfunc exists or not, and also add support for this in light
     skeleton

   - Bigger batch of BPF verifier improvements to prepare for upcoming
     BPF open-coded iterators allowing for less restrictive looping
     capabilities

   - Rework RCU enforcement in the verifier, add kptr_rcu and enforce
     BPF programs to NULL-check before passing such pointers into kfunc

   - Add support for kptrs in percpu hashmaps, percpu LRU hashmaps and
     in local storage maps

   - Enable RCU semantics for task BPF kptrs and allow referenced kptr
     tasks to be stored in BPF maps

   - Add support for refcounted local kptrs to the verifier for allowing
     shared ownership, useful for adding a node to both the BPF list and
     rbtree

   - Add BPF verifier support for ST instructions in
     convert_ctx_access() which will help new -mcpu=v4 clang flag to
     start emitting them

   - Add ARM32 USDT support to libbpf

   - Improve bpftool's visual program dump which produces the control
     flow graph in a DOT format by adding C source inline annotations

  Protocols:

   - IPv4: Allow adding to IPv4 address a 'protocol' tag. Such value
     indicates the provenance of the IP address

   - IPv6: optimize route lookup, dropping unneeded R/W lock acquisition

   - Add the handshake upcall mechanism, allowing the user-space to
     implement generic TLS handshake on kernel's behalf

   - Bridge: support per-{Port, VLAN} neighbor suppression, increasing
     resilience to nodes failures

   - SCTP: add support for Fair Capacity and Weighted Fair Queueing
     schedulers

   - MPTCP: delay first subflow allocation up to its first usage. This
     will allow for later better LSM interaction

   - xfrm: Remove inner/outer modes from input/output path. These are
     not needed anymore

   - WiFi:
      - reduced neighbor report (RNR) handling for AP mode
      - HW timestamping support
      - support for randomized auth/deauth TA for PASN privacy
      - per-link debugfs for multi-link
      - TC offload support for mac80211 drivers
      - mac80211 mesh fast-xmit and fast-rx support
      - enable Wi-Fi 7 (EHT) mesh support

  Netfilter:

   - Add nf_tables 'brouting' support, to force a packet to be routed
     instead of being bridged

   - Update bridge netfilter and ovs conntrack helpers to handle IPv6
     Jumbo packets properly, i.e. fetch the packet length from
     hop-by-hop extension header. This is needed for BIT TCP support

   - The iptables 32bit compat interface isn't compiled in by default
     anymore

   - Move ip(6)tables builtin icmp matches to the udptcp one. This has
     the advantage that icmp/icmpv6 match doesn't load the
     iptables/ip6tables modules anymore when iptables-nft is used

   - Extended netlink error report for netdevice in flowtables and
     netdev/chains. Allow for incrementally add/delete devices to netdev
     basechain. Allow to create netdev chain without device

  Driver API:

   - Remove redundant Device Control Error Reporting Enable, as PCI core
     has already error reporting enabled at enumeration time

   - Move Multicast DB netlink handlers to core, allowing devices other
     then bridge to use them

   - Allow the page_pool to directly recycle the pages from safely
     localized NAPI

   - Implement lockless TX queue stop/wake combo macros, allowing for
     further code de-duplication and sanitization

   - Add YNL support for user headers and struct attrs

   - Add partial YNL specification for devlink

   - Add partial YNL specification for ethtool

   - Add tc-mqprio and tc-taprio support for preemptible traffic classes

   - Add tx push buf len param to ethtool, specifies the maximum number
     of bytes of a transmitted packet a driver can push directly to the
     underlying device

   - Add basic LED support for switch/phy

   - Add NAPI documentation, stop relaying on external links

   - Convert dsa_master_ioctl() to netdev notifier. This is a
     preparatory work to make the hardware timestamping layer selectable
     by user space

   - Add transceiver support and improve the error messages for CAN-FD
     controllers

When CSME takes ownership, the driver sets RFKILL on, and this
triggers driver unload and sending the confirmation SAP message.
However, when IWL_MVM_MEI_REPORT_RFKILL is set, RFKILL was not
reported and as a result, the driver did not confirm the ownership
transition. Fix it.

When the host disconnects from the AP CSME takes ownership right away.
Since the driver never asks for ownership again wifi is left in rfkill
until CSME releases the NIC, although in many cases the host could
re-connect shortly after the disconnection. To allow the host to
recover from occasional disconnection, re-ask for ownership to let
the host connect again.
Allow one minute before re-asking for ownership to avoid too frequent
ownership transitions.

When mei filtered scan is performed, it must find the AP on the first
scan, otherwise CSME will take the ownership of the NIC.
Make this scan more aggressive by scanning the channel the AP is
supposed to be on (as reported by CSME) several times.

When CSME is connected and has link protection set, the driver must
connect to the same AP CSME is connected to.
When in link protection, modify scan request parameters to include
only the channel of the AP CSME is connected to and scan for the
same SSID. In addition, filter the scan results to include only
results from the same AP. This will make sure the driver will connect
to the same AP and will do it fast enough to keep the session alive.

<content type='text'>
The RADA/firmware collaborate on MIC stripping in the following
way:
 - the firmware fills the IWL_RX_MPDU_MFLG1_MIC_CRC_LEN_MASK
   value for how many words need to be removed at the end of
   the frame, CRC and, if decryption was done, MIC
 - if the RADA is active, it will
   - remove that much from the end of the frame
   - zero the value in IWL_RX_MPDU_MFLG1_MIC_CRC_LEN_MASK

As a consequence, the only thing the driver should need to do
is to
 - unconditionally tell mac80211 that the MIC was removed
   if decryption was already done
 - remove as much as IWL_RX_MPDU_MFLG1_MIC_CRC_LEN_MASK says
   at the end of the frame, since either RADA did it and then
   the value is 0, or RADA was disabled and then the value is
   whatever should be removed to strip both CRC &amp; MIC

However, all this code was historically grown and getting a
bit confused. Originally, we were indicating that the MIC was
not stripped, which is the version of the code upstreamed in
commit 780e87c29e77 ("iwlwifi: mvm: add 9000 series RX processing")
which indicated RX_FLAG_DECRYPTED in iwl_mvm_rx_crypto().

We later had a commit to change that to also indicate that the
MIC was stripped, adding RX_FLAG_MIC_STRIPPED. However, this was
then "fixed" later to only do that conditionally on RADA being
enabled, since otherwise RADA didn't strip the MIC bytes yet.
At the time, we were also always including the FCS if the RADA
was not enabled, so that was still broken wrt. the FCS if the
RADA isn't enabled - but that's a pretty rare case. Notably
though, it does happen for management frames, where we do need
to remove the MIC and CRC but the RADA is disabled.

Later, in commit 40a0b38d7a7f ("iwlwifi: mvm: Fix calculation of
frame length"), we changed this again, upstream this was just a
single commit, but internally it was split into first the correct
commit and then an additional fix that reduced the number of bytes
that are removed by crypt_len. Note that this is clearly wrong
since crypt_len indicates the length of the PN header (always 8),
not the length of the MIC (8 or 16 depending on algorithm).
However, this additional fix mostly canceled the other bugs,
apart from the confusion about the size of the MIC.

To fix this correctly, remove all those additional workarounds.
We really should always indicate to mac80211 the MIC was stripped
(it cannot use it anyway if decryption was already done), and also
always actually remove it and the CRC regardless of the RADA being
enabled or not. That's simple though, the value indicated in the
metadata is zeroed by the RADA if it's enabled and used the value,
so there's no need to check if it's enabled or not.

Notably then, this fixes the MIC size confusion, letting us receive
GCMP-256 encrypted management frames correctly that would otherwise
be reported to mac80211 8 bytes too short since the RADA is turned
off for them, crypt_len is 8, but the MIC size is 16, so when we do
the adjustment based on IWL_RX_MPDU_MFLG1_MIC_CRC_LEN_MASK (which
indicates 20 bytes to remove) we remove 12 bytes but indicate then
to mac80211 the MIC is still present, so mac80211 again removes the
MIC of 16 bytes, for an overall removal of 28 rather than 20 bytes.

off for them, crypt_len is 8, but the MIC size is 16, so when we do
the adjustment based on IWL_RX_MPDU_MFLG1_MIC_CRC_LEN_MASK (which
indicates 20 bytes to remove) we remove 12 bytes but indicate then
to mac80211 the MIC is still present, so mac80211 again removes the
MIC of 16 bytes, for an overall removal of 28 rather than 20 bytes.
