Pull staging driver fixes from Greg KH:
 "Here are some staging driver fixes that missed 6.17-final due to my
  travel schedule. They fix a number of reported issues in the axis-fifo
  driver, one of which was just independently discovered by someone else
  today so someone is looking at this code.

  All of these fixes have been in linux-next for many weeks with no
  reported issues"

Pull Char/Misc/IIO/Binder updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of char/misc/iio and other driver subsystem
  changes for 6.18-rc1.

  Loads of different stuff in here, it was a busy development cycle in
  lots of different subsystems, with over 27k new lines added to the
  tree.

  Included in here are:

   - IIO updates including new drivers, reworking of existing apis, and
     other goodness in the sensor subsystems

   - MEI driver updates and additions

   - NVMEM driver updates

   - slimbus removal for an unused driver and some other minor updates

   - coresight driver updates and additions

   - MHI driver updates

   - comedi driver updates and fixes

   - extcon driver updates

   - interconnect driver additions

   - eeprom driver updates and fixes

   - minor UIO driver updates

   - tiny W1 driver updates

  But the majority of new code is in the rust bindings and additions,
  which includes:

   - misc driver rust binding updates for read/write support, we can now
     write "normal" misc drivers in rust fully, and the sample driver
     shows how this can be done.

   - Initial framework for USB driver rust bindings, which are disabled
     for now in the build, due to limited support, but coming in through
     this tree due to dependencies on other rust binding changes that
     were in here. I'll be enabling these back on in the build in the
     usb.git tree after -rc1 is out so that developers can continue to
     work on these in linux-next over the next development cycle.

   - Android Binder driver implemented in Rust.

     This is the big one, and was driving a huge majority of the rust
     binding work over the past years. Right now there are two binder
     drivers in the kernel, selected only at build time as to which one
     to use as binder wants to be included in the system at boot time.

     The binder C maintainers all agreed on this, as eventually, they
     want the C code to be removed from the tree, but it will take a few
     releases to get there while both are maintained to ensure that the
     rust implementation is fully stable and compliant with the existing
     userspace apis.

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while"

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
 "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 'laminar' 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

           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

      - 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

     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 'laminar' 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

     XDP buffer

  Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:

   - Generate netlink documentation from YAML using an integrated YAML
     parser

     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:

Flush stale data from the RX FIFO in case of errors, to avoid reading
old data when new packets arrive.

Commit c6e8d85fafa7 ("staging: axis-fifo: Remove hardware resets for
user errors") removed full FIFO resets from the read error paths, which
fixed potential TX data losses, but introduced this RX issue.

<title>staging: axis-fifo: fix TX handling on copy_from_user() failure</title>

If copy_from_user() fails, write() currently returns -EFAULT, but any
partially written data leaves the TX FIFO in an inconsistent state.
Subsequent write() calls then fail with "transmit length mismatch"
errors.

Once partial data is written to the hardware FIFO, it cannot be removed
without a TX reset. Commit c6e8d85fafa7 ("staging: axis-fifo: Remove
hardware resets for user errors") removed a full FIFO reset for this case,
which fixed a potential RX data loss, but introduced this TX issue.

Fix this by introducing a bounce buffer: copy the full packet from
userspace first, and write to the hardware FIFO only if the copy
was successful.
