 Networking changes for 6.4.
 
 Core
 ----
 
  - Introduce a config option to tweak MAX_SKB_FRAGS. Increasing the
    default value allows for better BIG TCP performances.
 
  - Reduce compound page head access for zero-copy data transfers.
 
  - RPS/RFS improvements, avoiding unneeded NET_RX_SOFTIRQ when possible.
 
  - Threaded NAPI improvements, adding defer skb free support and unneeded
    softirq avoidance.
 
  - Address dst_entry reference count scalability issues, via false
    sharing avoidance and optimize refcount tracking.
 
  - Add lockless accesses annotation to sk_err[_soft].
 
  - Optimize again the skb struct layout.
 
  - Extends the skb drop reasons to make it usable by multiple
    subsystems.
 
  - Better const qualifier awareness for socket casts.
 
 BPF
 ---
 
  - Add skb and XDP typed dynptrs which allow BPF programs for more
    ergonomic and less brittle iteration through data and variable-sized
    accesses.
 
  - Add a new BPF netfilter program type and minimal support to hook
    BPF programs to netfilter hooks such as prerouting or forward.
 
  - Add more precise memory usage reporting for all BPF map types.
 
  - Adds support for using {FOU,GUE} encap with an ipip device operating
    in collect_md mode and add a set of BPF kfuncs for controlling encap
    params.
 
  - Allow BPF programs to detect at load time whether a particular kfunc
    exists or not, and also add support for this in light skeleton.
 
  - Bigger batch of BPF verifier improvements to prepare for upcoming BPF
    open-coded iterators allowing for less restrictive looping capabilities.
 
  - Rework RCU enforcement in the verifier, add kptr_rcu and enforce BPF
    programs to NULL-check before passing such pointers into kfunc.
 
  - Add support for kptrs in percpu hashmaps, percpu LRU hashmaps and in
    local storage maps.
 
  - Enable RCU semantics for task BPF kptrs and allow referenced kptr
    tasks to be stored in BPF maps.
 
  - Add support for refcounted local kptrs to the verifier for allowing
    shared ownership, useful for adding a node to both the BPF list and
    rbtree.
 
  - Add BPF verifier support for ST instructions in convert_ctx_access()
    which will help new -mcpu=v4 clang flag to start emitting them.
 
  - Add ARM32 USDT support to libbpf.
 
  - Improve bpftool's visual program dump which produces the control
    flow graph in a DOT format by adding C source inline annotations.
 
 Protocols
 ---------
 
  - IPv4: Allow adding to IPv4 address a 'protocol' tag. Such value
    indicates the provenance of the IP address.
 
  - IPv6: optimize route lookup, dropping unneeded R/W lock acquisition.
 
  - Add the handshake upcall mechanism, allowing the user-space
    to implement generic TLS handshake on kernel's behalf.
 
  - Bridge: support per-{Port, VLAN} neighbor suppression, increasing
    resilience to nodes failures.
 
  - SCTP: add support for Fair Capacity and Weighted Fair Queueing
    schedulers.
 
  - MPTCP: delay first subflow allocation up to its first usage. This
    will allow for later better LSM interaction.
 
  - xfrm: Remove inner/outer modes from input/output path. These are
    not needed anymore.
 
  - WiFi:
    - reduced neighbor report (RNR) handling for AP mode
    - HW timestamping support
    - support for randomized auth/deauth TA for PASN privacy
    - per-link debugfs for multi-link
    - TC offload support for mac80211 drivers
    - mac80211 mesh fast-xmit and fast-rx support
    - enable Wi-Fi 7 (EHT) mesh support
 
 Netfilter
 ---------
 
  - Add nf_tables 'brouting' support, to force a packet to be routed
    instead of being bridged.
 
  - Update bridge netfilter and ovs conntrack helpers to handle
    IPv6 Jumbo packets properly, i.e. fetch the packet length
    from hop-by-hop extension header. This is needed for BIT TCP
    support.
 
  - The iptables 32bit compat interface isn't compiled in by default
    anymore.
 
  - Move ip(6)tables builtin icmp matches to the udptcp one.
    This has the advantage that icmp/icmpv6 match doesn't load the
    iptables/ip6tables modules anymore when iptables-nft is used.
 
  - Extended netlink error report for netdevice in flowtables and
    netdev/chains. Allow for incrementally add/delete devices to netdev
    basechain. Allow to create netdev chain without device.
 
 Driver API
 ----------
 
  - Remove redundant Device Control Error Reporting Enable, as PCI core
    has already error reporting enabled at enumeration time.
 
  - Move Multicast DB netlink handlers to core, allowing devices other
    then bridge to use them.
 
  - Allow the page_pool to directly recycle the pages from safely
    localized NAPI.
 
  - Implement lockless TX queue stop/wake combo macros, allowing for
    further code de-duplication and sanitization.
 
  - Add YNL support for user headers and struct attrs.
 
  - Add partial YNL specification for devlink.
 
  - Add partial YNL specification for ethtool.
 
  - Add tc-mqprio and tc-taprio support for preemptible traffic classes.
 
  - Add tx push buf len param to ethtool, specifies the maximum number
    of bytes of a transmitted packet a driver can push directly to the
    underlying device.
 
  - Add basic LED support for switch/phy.
 
  - Add NAPI documentation, stop relaying on external links.
 
  - Convert dsa_master_ioctl() to netdev notifier. This is a preparatory
    work to make the hardware timestamping layer selectable by user
    space.
 
  - Add transceiver support and improve the error messages for CAN-FD
    controllers.
