Merge tag 'net-6.6-rc7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net

Pull networking fixes from Jakub Kicinski:
"Including fixes from bluetooth, netfilter, WiFi.

Feels like an up-tick in regression fixes, mostly for older releases.
The hfsc fix, tcp_disconnect() and Intel WWAN fixes stand out as
fairly clear-cut user reported regressions. The mlx5 DMA bug was
causing strife for 390x folks. The fixes themselves are not
particularly scary, tho. No open investigations / outstanding reports
at the time of writing.

Current release - regressions:

- eth: mlx5: perform DMA operations in the right locations, make
devices usable on s390x, again

- sched: sch_hfsc: upgrade 'rt' to 'sc' when it becomes a inner
curve, previous fix of rejecting invalid config broke some scripts

- rfkill: reduce data->mtx scope in rfkill_fop_open, avoid deadlock

- revert "ethtool: Fix mod state of verbose no_mask bitset", needs
more work

Current release - new code bugs:

- tcp: fix listen() warning with v4-mapped-v6 address

Previous releases - regressions:

- tcp: allow tcp_disconnect() again when threads are waiting, it was
denied to plug a constant source of bugs but turns out .NET depends
on it

- eth: mlx5: fix double-free if buffer refill fails under OOM

- revert "net: wwan: iosm: enable runtime pm support for 7560", it's
causing regressions and the WWAN team at Intel disappeared

- tcp: tsq: relax tcp_small_queue_check() when rtx queue contains a
single skb, fix single-stream perf regression on some devices

Previous releases - always broken:

- Bluetooth:
- fix issues in legacy BR/EDR PIN code pairing
- correctly bounds check and pad HCI_MON_NEW_INDEX name

- netfilter:
- more fixes / follow ups for the large "commit protocol" rework,
which went in as a fix to 6.5
- fix null-derefs on netlink attrs which user may not pass in

- tcp: fix excessive TLP and RACK timeouts from HZ rounding (bless
Debian for keeping HZ=250 alive)

- net: more strict VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_UDP_L4 validation, prevent
letting frankenstein UDP super-frames from getting into the stack

- net: fix interface altnames when ifc moves to a new namespace

- eth: qed: fix the size of the RX buffers

- mptcp: avoid sending RST when closing the initial subflow"

net/smc: fix smc clc failed issue when netdevice not in init_net

If the netdevice is within a container and communicates externally
through network technologies such as VxLAN, we won't be able to find
routing information in the init_net namespace. To address this issue,
we need to add a struct net parameter to the smc_ib_find_route function.
This allow us to locate the routing information within the corresponding
net namespace, ensuring the correct completion of the SMC CLC interaction.

Merge branch 'net-smc-virt-contig-buffers'

Wen Gu says:

====================
net/smc: Introduce virtually contiguous buffers for SMC-R

On long-running enterprise production servers, high-order contiguous
memory pages are usually very rare and in most cases we can only get
fragmented pages.

When replacing TCP with SMC-R in such production scenarios, attempting
to allocate high-order physically contiguous sndbufs and RMBs may result
in frequent memory compaction, which will cause unexpected hung issue
and further stability risks.

So this patch set is aimed to allow SMC-R link group to use virtually
contiguous sndbufs and RMBs to avoid potential issues mentioned above.
Whether to use physically or virtually contiguous buffers can be set
by sysctl smcr_buf_type.

Note that using virtually contiguous buffers will bring an acceptable
performance regression, which can be mainly divided into two parts:

1) regression in data path, which is brought by additional address
translation of sndbuf by RNIC in Tx. But in general, translating
address through MTT is fast. According to qperf test, this part
regression is basically less than 10% in latency and bandwidth.
(see patch 5/6 for details)

2) regression in buffer initialization and destruction path, which is
brought by additional MR operations of sndbufs. But thanks to link
group buffer reuse mechanism, the impact of this kind of regression
decreases as times of buffer reuse increases.

Patch set overview:
- Patch 1/6 and 2/6 mainly about simplifying and optimizing DMA sync
operation, which will reduce overhead on the data path, especially
when using virtually contiguous buffers;
- Patch 3/6 and 4/6 introduce a sysctl smcr_buf_type to set the type
of buffers in new created link group;
- Patch 5/6 allows SMC-R to use virtually contiguous sndbufs and RMBs,
including buffer creation, destruction, MR operation and access;
- patch 6/6 extends netlink attribute for buffer type of SMC-R link group;

v1->v2:
- Patch 5/6 fixes build issue on 32bit;
- Patch 3/6 adds description of new sysctl in smc-sysctl.rst;

net/smc: optimize for smc_sndbuf_sync_sg_for_device and smc_rmb_sync_sg_for_cpu

Some CPU, such as Xeon, can guarantee DMA cache coherency.
So it is no need to use dma sync APIs to flush cache on such CPUs.
In order to avoid calling dma sync APIs on the IO path, use the
dma_need_sync to check whether smc_buf_desc needs dma sync when
creating smc_buf_desc.
