Linus Torvalds 9d31d23389 Networking changes for 5.13.
Core:
 
  - bpf:
 	- allow bpf programs calling kernel functions (initially to
 	  reuse TCP congestion control implementations)
 	- enable task local storage for tracing programs - remove the
 	  need to store per-task state in hash maps, and allow tracing
 	  programs access to task local storage previously added for
 	  BPF_LSM
 	- add bpf_for_each_map_elem() helper, allowing programs to
 	  walk all map elements in a more robust and easier to verify
 	  fashion
 	- sockmap: support UDP and cross-protocol BPF_SK_SKB_VERDICT
 	  redirection
 	- lpm: add support for batched ops in LPM trie
 	- add BTF_KIND_FLOAT support - mostly to allow use of BTF
 	  on s390 which has floats in its headers files
 	- improve BPF syscall documentation and extend the use of kdoc
 	  parsing scripts we already employ for bpf-helpers
 	- libbpf, bpftool: support static linking of BPF ELF files
 	- improve support for encapsulation of L2 packets
 
  - xdp: restructure redirect actions to avoid a runtime lookup,
 	improving performance by 4-8% in microbenchmarks
 
  - xsk: build skb by page (aka generic zerocopy xmit) - improve
 	performance of software AF_XDP path by 33% for devices
 	which don't need headers in the linear skb part (e.g. virtio)
 
  - nexthop: resilient next-hop groups - improve path stability
 	on next-hops group changes (incl. offload for mlxsw)
 
  - ipv6: segment routing: add support for IPv4 decapsulation
 
  - icmp: add support for RFC 8335 extended PROBE messages
 
  - inet: use bigger hash table for IP ID generation
 
  - tcp: deal better with delayed TX completions - make sure we don't
 	give up on fast TCP retransmissions only because driver is
 	slow in reporting that it completed transmitting the original
 
  - tcp: reorder tcp_congestion_ops for better cache locality
 
  - mptcp:
 	- add sockopt support for common TCP options
 	- add support for common TCP msg flags
 	- include multiple address ids in RM_ADDR
 	- add reset option support for resetting one subflow
 
  - udp: GRO L4 improvements - improve 'forward' / 'frag_list'
 	co-existence with UDP tunnel GRO, allowing the first to take
 	place correctly	even for encapsulated UDP traffic
 
  - micro-optimize dev_gro_receive() and flow dissection, avoid
 	retpoline overhead on VLAN and TEB GRO
 
  - use less memory for sysctls, add a new sysctl type, to allow using
 	u8 instead of "int" and "long" and shrink networking sysctls
 
  - veth: allow GRO without XDP - this allows aggregating UDP
 	packets before handing them off to routing, bridge, OvS, etc.
 
  - allow specifing ifindex when device is moved to another namespace
 
  - netfilter:
 	- nft_socket: add support for cgroupsv2
 	- nftables: add catch-all set element - special element used
 	  to define a default action in case normal lookup missed
 	- use net_generic infra in many modules to avoid allocating
 	  per-ns memory unnecessarily
 
  - xps: improve the xps handling to avoid potential out-of-bound
 	accesses and use-after-free when XPS change race with other
 	re-configuration under traffic
 
  - add a config knob to turn off per-cpu netdev refcnt to catch
 	underflows in testing
 
 Device APIs:
 
  - add WWAN subsystem to organize the WWAN interfaces better and
    hopefully start driving towards more unified and vendor-
    -independent APIs
 
  - ethtool:
 	- add interface for reading IEEE MIB stats (incl. mlx5 and
 	  bnxt support)
 	- allow network drivers to dump arbitrary SFP EEPROM data,
 	  current offset+length API was a poor fit for modern SFP
 	  which define EEPROM in terms of pages (incl. mlx5 support)
 
  - act_police, flow_offload: add support for packet-per-second
 	policing (incl. offload for nfp)
 
  - psample: add additional metadata attributes like transit delay
 	for packets sampled from switch HW (and corresponding egress
 	and policy-based sampling in the mlxsw driver)
 
  - dsa: improve support for sandwiched LAGs with bridge and DSA
 
  - netfilter:
 	- flowtable: use direct xmit in topologies with IP
 	  forwarding, bridging, vlans etc.
 	- nftables: counter hardware offload support
 
  - Bluetooth:
 	- improvements for firmware download w/ Intel devices
 	- add support for reading AOSP vendor capabilities
 	- add support for virtio transport driver
 
  - mac80211:
 	- allow concurrent monitor iface and ethernet rx decap
 	- set priority and queue mapping for injected frames
 
  - phy: add support for Clause-45 PHY Loopback
 
  - pci/iov: add sysfs MSI-X vector assignment interface
 	to distribute MSI-X resources to VFs (incl. mlx5 support)
 
 New hardware/drivers:
 
  - dsa: mv88e6xxx: add support for Marvell mv88e6393x -
 	11-port Ethernet switch with 8x 1-Gigabit Ethernet
 	and 3x 10-Gigabit interfaces.
 
  - dsa: support for legacy Broadcom tags used on BCM5325, BCM5365
 	and BCM63xx switches
 
  - Microchip KSZ8863 and KSZ8873; 3x 10/100Mbps Ethernet switches
 
  - ath11k: support for QCN9074 a 802.11ax device
 
  - Bluetooth: Broadcom BCM4330 and BMC4334
 
  - phy: Marvell 88X2222 transceiver support
 
  - mdio: add BCM6368 MDIO mux bus controller
 
  - r8152: support RTL8153 and RTL8156 (USB Ethernet) chips
 
  - mana: driver for Microsoft Azure Network Adapter (MANA)
 
  - Actions Semi Owl Ethernet MAC
 
  - can: driver for ETAS ES58X CAN/USB interfaces
 
 Pure driver changes:
 
  - add XDP support to: enetc, igc, stmmac
  - add AF_XDP support to: stmmac
 
  - virtio:
 	- page_to_skb() use build_skb when there's sufficient tailroom
 	  (21% improvement for 1000B UDP frames)
 	- support XDP even without dedicated Tx queues - share the Tx
 	  queues with the stack when necessary
 
  - mlx5:
 	- flow rules: add support for mirroring with conntrack,
 	  matching on ICMP, GTP, flex filters and more
 	- support packet sampling with flow offloads
 	- persist uplink representor netdev across eswitch mode
 	  changes
 	- allow coexistence of CQE compression and HW time-stamping
 	- add ethtool extended link error state reporting
 
  - ice, iavf: support flow filters, UDP Segmentation Offload
