Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Core & protocols:
- Continue Netlink conversions to per-namespace RTNL lock
(IPv4 routing, routing rules, routing next hops, ARP ioctls)
- Continue extending the use of netdev instance locks. As a driver
opt-in protect queue operations and (in due course) ethtool
operations with the instance lock and not RTNL lock.
- Support collecting TCP timestamps (data submitted, sent, acked) in
BPF, allowing for transparent (to the application) and lower
overhead tracking of TCP RPC performance.
- Tweak existing networking Rx zero-copy infra to support zero-copy
Rx via io_uring.
- Optimize MPTCP performance in single subflow mode by 29%.
- Enable GRO on packets which went thru XDP CPU redirect (were queued
for processing on a different CPU). Improving TCP stream
performance up to 2x.
- Improve performance of contended connect() by 200% by searching for
an available 4-tuple under RCU rather than a spin lock. Bring an
additional 229% improvement by tweaking hash distribution.
- Avoid unconditionally touching sk_tsflags on RX, improving
performance under UDP flood by as much as 10%.
- Avoid skb_clone() dance in ping_rcv() to improve performance under
ping flood.
- Avoid FIB lookup in netfilter if socket is available, 20% perf win.
- Rework network device creation (in-kernel) API to more clearly
identify network namespaces and their roles. There are up to 4
namespace roles but we used to have just 2 netns pointer arguments,
interpreted differently based on context.
- Use sysfs_break_active_protection() instead of trylock to avoid
deadlocks between unregistering objects and sysfs access.
- Add a new sysctl and sockopt for capping max retransmit timeout in
TCP.
- Support masking port and DSCP in routing rule matches.
- Support dumping IPv4 multicast addresses with RTM_GETMULTICAST.
- Support specifying at what time packet should be sent on AF_XDP
sockets.
- Expose TCP ULP diagnostic info (for TLS and MPTCP) to non-admin
users.
- Add Netlink YAML spec for WiFi (nl80211) and conntrack.
- Introduce EXPORT_IPV6_MOD() and EXPORT_IPV6_MOD_GPL() for symbols
which only need to be exported when IPv6 support is built as a
module.
- Age FDB entries based on Rx not Tx traffic in VxLAN, similar to
normal bridging.
- Allow users to specify source port range for GENEVE tunnels.
- netconsole: allow attaching kernel release, CPU ID and task name to
messages as metadata

the SW layers. Delegate the responsibilities to phylink where

It seems there really exists the need for a simple sysfs interface that
can be easily used from minimal initramfs images that don't contain much
more than busybox. However the current interface poses a challenge to
the removal of global GPIO numberspace. Add an item that tracks
extending the existing ABI with a per-chip export/unexport attribute
pair.

While there are surely some arguments in favor of integrating the GPIO
and pinctrl subsystems into one, I believe this is not the right
approach.
The GPIO subsystem uses intricate locking with SRCU to handle the fact
that both consumers and providers may run in different contexts.
Pin-controller drivers are always meant to run in process context. This
alone is a huge obstacle to any attempt at integration as evident by
many problems we already encountered during the hotplug rework.
The current glue code is pretty minimal and for most part already allows
GPIO controllers to query pinctrl about the information they need.
I suggest to drop this task and keep the subsystems separate even if
many pin-controllers implement GPIO functionality in addition to pin
functions.

* A cleanup to remove unneeded ERR_CAST() in GPIO ACPI library
The following is an automated git shortlog grouped by driver:
gpiolib-acpi:
- Drop unneeded ERR_CAST() in __acpi_find_gpio()
We use a notifier to implement the mechanism of informing the user-space
about changes in GPIO line status. We register with the notifier when
the GPIO character device file is opened and unregister when the last
reference to the associated file descriptor is dropped.
Since commit fcc8b637c5 ("gpiolib: switch the line state notifier to
atomic") we use the atomic notifier variant. Atomic notifiers call
rcu_synchronize in atomic_notifier_chain_unregister() which caused a
significant performance regression in some circumstances, observed by
user-space when calling close() on the GPIO device file descriptor.
Replace the atomic notifier with the raw variant and provide
synchronization with a read-write spinlock.

The valid_mask member of the struct gpio_chip is unconditionally written
by the GPIO core at driver registration. Current documentation does not
mention this but just says the valid_mask is used if it's not NULL. This
lured me to try populating it directly in the GPIO driver probe instead
of using the init_valid_mask() callback. It took some retries with
different bitmaps and eventually a bit of code-reading to understand why
the valid_mask was not obeyed. I could've avoided this trial and error if
the valid_mask was hidden in the struct gpio_device instead of being a
visible member of the struct gpio_chip.
Help the next developer who decides to directly populate the valid_mask
in struct gpio_chip by hiding the valid_mask in struct gpio_device and
keep it internal to the GPIO core.

The valid_mask member of the struct gpio_chip is unconditionally written
by the GPIO core at driver registration. It should not be directly
populated by the drivers. Hiding the valid_mask in struct gpio_device
makes it clear it is not meant to be directly populated by drivers. This
means drivers should not access it directly from the struct gpio_chip.
The gpio-rcar checks the valid mask in set/get_multiple() operations.
This is no longer needed [1]. Drop these checks.
Additionally, the valid_mask is needed for enabling the GPIO inputs at
probe time. Use the new valid_mask -getter function instead of accessing
it directly from the struct gpio_chip.

When GPIOs were requested the validity of GPIOs were checked only when
the GPIO-chip had the request -callback populated. This made using
masked GPIOs possible.
The GPIO chip driver authors may find it difficult to understand the
relation of enforsing the GPIO validity and the 'request' -callback
because the current documentation for the 'request' callback does not
mention this. It only states:
* @request: optional hook for chip-specific activation, such as
* enabling module power and clock; may sleep
The validity of the GPIO line should be checked whether the driver
provides the 'request' callback or not.
Unconditionally check the GPIO validity when GPIO is being requested.
