Merge tag 'net-next-6.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

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

  Driver API:

   - Continue rework / fixing of Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) across
     the SW layers. Delegate the responsibilities to phylink where
     possible. Improve its handling in phylib.

   - Support symmetric OR-XOR RSS hashing algorithm.

   - Support tracking and preserving IRQ affinity by NAPI itself.
