Core & protocols
----------------
- Support usec resolution of TCP timestamps, enabled selectively by
a route attribute.
- Defer regular TCP ACK while processing socket backlog, try to send
a cumulative ACK at the end. Increase single TCP flow performance
on a 200Gbit NIC by 20% (100Gbit -> 120Gbit).
- The Fair Queuing (FQ) packet scheduler:
- add built-in 3 band prio / WRR scheduling
- support bypass if the qdisc is mostly idle (5% speed up for TCP RR)
- improve inactive flow reporting
- optimize the layout of structures for better cache locality
- Support TCP Authentication Option (RFC 5925, TCP-AO), a more modern
replacement for the old MD5 option.
- Add more retransmission timeout (RTO) related statistics to TCP_INFO.
- Support sending fragmented skbs over vsock sockets.
- Make sure we send SIGPIPE for vsock sockets if socket was shutdown().
- Add sysctl for ignoring lower limit on lifetime in Router
Advertisement PIO, based on an in-progress IETF draft.
- Add sysctl to control activation of TCP ping-pong mode.
- Add sysctl to make connection timeout in MPTCP configurable.
- Support rcvlowat and notsent_lowat on MPTCP sockets, to help apps
limit the number of wakeups.
- Support netlink GET for MDB (multicast forwarding), allowing user
space to request a single MDB entry instead of dumping the entire
table.
- Support selective FDB flushing in the VXLAN tunnel driver.
- Allow limiting learned FDB entries in bridges, prevent OOM attacks.
- Allow controlling via configfs netconsole targets which were created
via the kernel cmdline at boot, rather than via configfs at runtime.
- Support multiple PTP timestamp event queue readers with different
filters.
- MCTP over I3C.
BPF
---
- Add new veth-like netdevice where BPF program defines the logic
of the xmit routine. It can operate in L3 and L2 mode.
- Support exceptions - allow asserting conditions which should
never be true but are hard for the verifier to infer.
With some extra flexibility around handling of the exit / failure.
https://lwn.net/Articles/938435/
- Add support for local per-cpu kptr, allow allocating and storing
per-cpu objects in maps. Access to those objects operates on
the value for the current CPU. This allows to deprecate local
one-off implementations of per-CPU storage like
BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_CGROUP_STORAGE maps.
- Extend cgroup BPF sockaddr hooks for UNIX sockets. The use case is
for systemd to re-implement the LogNamespace feature which allows
running multiple instances of systemd-journald to process the logs
of different services.
- Enable open-coded task_vma iteration, after maple tree conversion
made it hard to directly walk VMAs in tracing programs.
- Add open-coded task, css_task and css iterator support.
One of the use cases is customizable OOM victim selection via BPF.
- Allow source address selection with bpf_*_fib_lookup().
- Add ability to pin BPF timer to the current CPU.
- Prevent creation of infinite loops by combining tail calls and
fentry/fexit programs.
- Add missed stats for kprobes to retrieve the number of missed kprobe
executions and subsequent executions of BPF programs.
- Inherit system settings for CPU security mitigations.
- Add BPF v4 CPU instruction support for arm32 and s390x.
Changes to common code
----------------------
- overflow: add DEFINE_FLEX() for on-stack definition of structs
with flexible array members.
- Process doc update with more guidance for reviewers.
Driver API
----------
- Simplify locking in WiFi (cfg80211 and mac80211 layers), use wiphy
mutex in most places and remove a lot of smaller locks.
- Create a common DPLL configuration API. Allow configuring
and querying state of PLL circuits used for clock syntonization,
in network time distribution.
- Unify fragmented and full page allocation APIs in page pool code.
Let drivers be ignorant of PAGE_SIZE.
- Rework PHY state machine to avoid races with calls to phy_stop().
- Notify DSA drivers of MAC address changes on user ports, improve
correctness of offloads which depend on matching port MAC addresses.
- Allow antenna control on injected WiFi frames.
- Reduce the number of variants of napi_schedule().
- Simplify error handling when composing devlink health messages.
Misc
----
- A lot of KCSAN data race "fixes", from Eric.
- A lot of __counted_by() annotations, from Kees.
- A lot of strncpy -> strscpy and printf format fixes.
- Replace master/slave terminology with conduit/user in DSA drivers.
- Handful of KUnit tests for netdev and WiFi core.
