Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core &amp; protocols:

   - Support HW queue leasing, allowing containers to be granted access
     to HW queues for zero-copy operations and AF_XDP

   - Number of code moves to help the compiler with inlining. Avoid
     output arguments for returning drop reason where possible

   - Rework drop handling within qdiscs to include more metadata about
     the reason and dropping qdisc in the tracepoints

   - Remove the rtnl_lock use from IP Multicast Routing

   - Pack size information into the Rx Flow Steering table pointer
     itself. This allows making the table itself a flat array of u32s,
     thus making the table allocation size a power of two

   - Report TCP delayed ack timer information via socket diag

   - Add ip_local_port_step_width sysctl to allow distributing the
     randomly selected ports more evenly throughout the allowed space

   - Add support for per-route tunsrc in IPv6 segment routing

   - Start work of switching sockopt handling to iov_iter

   - Improve dynamic recvbuf sizing in MPTCP, limit burstiness and avoid
     buffer size drifting up

   - Support MSG_EOR in MPTCP

   - Add stp_mode attribute to the bridge driver for STP mode selection.
     This addresses concerns about call_usermodehelper() usage

   - Remove UDP-Lite support (as announced in 2023)

   - Remove support for building IPv6 as a module. Remove the now
     unnecessary function calling indirection

  Cross-tree stuff:

   - Move Michael MIC code from generic crypto into wireless, it's
     considered insecure but some WiFi networks still need it

  Netfilter:

   - Switch nft_fib_ipv6 module to no longer need temporary dst_entry
     object allocations by using fib6_lookup() + RCU.

     Florian W reports this gets us ~13% higher packet rate

   - Convert IPVS's global __ip_vs_mutex to per-net service_mutex and
     switch the service tables to be per-net. Convert some code that
     walks the service lists to use RCU instead of the service_mutex

   - Add more opinionated input validation to lower security exposure

   - Make IPVS hash tables to be per-netns and resizable

  Wireless:

   - Finished assoc frame encryption/EPPKE/802.1X-over-auth

   - Radar detection improvements

   - Add 6 GHz incumbent signal detection APIs

   - Multi-link support for FILS, probe response templates and client
     probing

   - New APIs and mac80211 support for NAN (Neighbor Aware Networking,
     aka Wi-Fi Aware) so less work must be in firmware

  Driver API:

   - Add numerical ID for devlink instances (to avoid having to create
     fake bus/device pairs just to have an ID). Support shared devlink
     instances which span multiple PFs

   - Add standard counters for reporting pause storm events (implement
     in mlx5 and fbnic)

   - Add configuration API for completion writeback buffering (implement
     in mana)

   - Support driver-initiated change of RSS context sizes

   - Support DPLL monitoring input frequency (implement in zl3073x)

Commit de5626b95e13 ("tcp: Factorise cookie-independent fields
initialisation in cookie_v[46]_check().") miscategorised
tcp_rsk(req)-&gt;req_usec_ts init to cookie_tcp_reqsk_init(),
which is used by both BPF/non-BPF SYN cookie reqsk.

Rather, it should have been moved to cookie_tcp_reqsk_alloc() by
commit 8e7bab6b9652 ("tcp: Factorise cookie-dependent fields
initialisation in cookie_v[46]_check()") so that only non-BPF SYN
cookie sets tcp_rsk(req)-&gt;req_usec_ts to false.

Let's move the initialisation to cookie_tcp_reqsk_alloc() to
respect bpf_tcp_req_attrs.usec_ts_ok.

<title>udp: Force compute_score to always inline</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b80a95ccf1604a882bb153c45ccb4056e44c8edb</id>
<content type='text'>
Back in 2024 I reported a 7-12% regression on an iperf3 UDP loopback
thoughput test that we traced to the extra overhead of calling
compute_score on two places, introduced by commit f0ea27e7bfe1 ("udp:
re-score reuseport groups when connected sockets are present").  At the
time, I pointed out the overhead was caused by the multiple calls,
associated with cpu-specific mitigations, and merged commit
50aee97d1511 ("udp: Avoid call to compute_score on multiple sites") to
jump back explicitly, to force the rescore call in a single place.

Recently though, we got another regression report against a newer distro
version, which a team colleague traced back to the same root-cause.
Turns out that once we updated to gcc-13, the compiler got smart enough
to unroll the loop, undoing my previous mitigation.  Let's bite the
bullet and __always_inline compute_score on both ipv4 and ipv6 to
prevent gcc from de-optimizing it again in the future.  These functions
are only called in two places each, udpX_lib_lookup1 and
udpX_lib_lookup2, so the extra size shouldn't be a problem and it is hot
enough to be very visible in profilings.  In fact, with gcc13, forcing
the inline will prevent gcc from unrolling the fix from commit
50aee97d1511, so we don't end up increasing udpX_lib_lookup2 at all.

I haven't recollected the results myself, as I don't have access to the
machine at the moment.  But the same colleague reported 4.67%
inprovement with this patch in the loopback benchmark, solving the
regression report within noise margins.

Eric Dumazet reported no size change to vmlinux when built with clang.
I report the same also with gcc-13:

scripts/bloat-o-meter vmlinux vmlinux-inline
add/remove: 0/2 grow/shrink: 4/0 up/down: 616/-416 (200)

Pull vfs i_ino updates from Christian Brauner:
 "For historical reasons, the inode-&gt;i_ino field is an unsigned long,
  which means that it's 32 bits on 32 bit architectures. This has caused
  a number of filesystems to implement hacks to hash a 64-bit identifier
  into a 32-bit field, and deprives us of a universal identifier field
  for an inode.

  This changes the inode-&gt;i_ino field from an unsigned long to a u64.
  This shouldn't make any material difference on 64-bit hosts, but
  32-bit hosts will see struct inode grow by at least 4 bytes. This
  could have effects on slabcache sizes and field alignment.

  The bulk of the changes are to format strings and tracepoints, since
  the kernel itself doesn't care that much about the i_ino field. The
  first patch changes some vfs function arguments, so check that one out
  carefully.

  With this change, we may be able to shrink some inode structures. For
  instance, struct nfs_inode has a fileid field that holds the 64-bit
  inode number. With this set of changes, that field could be
  eliminated. I'd rather leave that sort of cleanups for later just to
  keep this simple"

Commit under Fixes moved recomputing the window clamp to
tcp_measure_rcv_mss() (when scaling_ratio changes).
I suspect it missed the fact that we don't recompute the clamp
when rcvbuf is set. Until scaling_ratio changes we are
stuck with the old window clamp which may be based on
the small initial buffer. scaling_ratio may never change.

Inspired by Eric's recent commit d1361840f8c5 ("tcp: fix
SO_RCVLOWAT and RCVBUF autotuning") plumb the user action
thru to TCP and have it update the clamp.

A smaller fix would be to just have tcp_rcvbuf_grow()
adjust the clamp even if SOCK_RCVBUF_LOCK is set.
But IIUC this is what we were trying to get away from
in the first place.

====================
net: reduce sk_filter() (and friends) bloat

Some functions return an error by value, and a drop_reason
by an output parameter. This extra parameter can force stack canaries.

A drop_reason is enough and more efficient.

This series reduces bloat by 678 bytes on x86_64:

Future conversions from sock_queue_rcv_skb() to sock_queue_rcv_skb_reason()
can be done later.

sk_filter_trim_cap() will soon return the reason by value,
do the same for tcp_filter().

Note:

tcp_filter() is no longer inlined. Following patch will inline it again.
