Linus Torvalds 0ad9617c78 Networking changes for 6.14.
Core
 ----
 
  - More core refactoring to reduce the RTNL lock contention,
    including preparatory work for the per-network namespace RTNL lock,
    replacing RTNL lock with a per device-one to protect NAPI-related
    net device data and moving synchronize_net() calls outside such
    lock.
 
  - Extend drop reasons usage, adding net scheduler, AF_UNIX, bridge and
    more specific TCP coverage.
 
  - Reduce network namespace tear-down time by removing per-subsystems
    synchronize_net() in tipc and sched.
 
  - Add flow label selector support for fib rules, allowing traffic
    redirection based on such header field.
 
 Netfilter
 ---------
 
  - Do not remove netdev basechain when last device is gone, allowing
    netdev basechains without devices.
 
  - Revisit the flowtable teardown strategy, dealing better with fin,
    reset and re-open events.
 
  - Scale-up IP-vs connection dumping by avoiding linear search on
    each restart.
 
 Protocols
 ---------
 
  - A significant XDP socket refactor, consolidating and optimizing
    several helpers into the core
 
  - Better scaling of ICMP rate-limiting, by removing false-sharing in
    inet peers handling.
 
  - Introduces netlink notifications for multicast IPv4 and IPv6
    address changes.
 
  - Add ipsec support for IP-TFS/AggFrag encapsulation, allowing
    aggregation and fragmentation of the inner IP.
 
  - Add sysctl to configure TIME-WAIT reuse delay for TCP sockets,
    to avoid local port exhaustion issues when the average connection
    lifetime is very short.
 
  - Support updating keys (re-keying) for connections using kernel
    TLS (for TLS 1.3 only).
 
  - Support ipv4-mapped ipv6 address clients in smc-r v2.
 
  - Add support for jumbo data packet transmission in RxRPC sockets,
    gluing multiple data packets in a single UDP packet.
 
  - Support RxRPC RACK-TLP to manage packet loss and retransmission in
    conjunction with the congestion control algorithm.
 
 Driver API
 ----------
 
  - Introduce a unified and structured interface for reporting PHY
    statistics, exposing consistent data across different H/W via
    ethtool.
 
  - Make timestamping selectable, allow the user to select the desired
    hwtstamp provider (PHY or MAC) administratively.
 
  - Add support for configuring a header-data-split threshold (HDS)
    value via ethtool, to deal with partial or buggy H/W implementation.
 
  - Consolidate DSA drivers Energy Efficiency Ethernet support.
 
  - Add EEE management to phylink, making use of the phylib
    implementation.
 
  - Add phylib support for in-band capabilities negotiation.
 
  - Simplify how phylib-enabled mac drivers expose the supported
    interfaces.
 
 Tests and tooling
 -----------------
 
  - Make the YNL tool package-friendly to make it easier to deploy it
    separately from the kernel.
 
  - Increase TCP selftest coverage importing several packetdrill
    test-cases.
 
  - Regenerate the ethtool uapi header from the YNL spec,
    to ease maintenance and future development.
 
  - Add YNL support for decoding the link types used in net
    self-tests, allowing a single build to run both net and
    drivers/net.
