Merge tag 'net-next-6.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next
Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"Core:
- Allow live renaming when an interface is up
- Add retpoline wrappers for tc, improving considerably the
performances of complex queue discipline configurations
- Add inet drop monitor support
- A few GRO performance improvements
- Add infrastructure for atomic dev stats, addressing long standing
data races
- De-duplicate common code between OVS and conntrack offloading
infrastructure
- A bunch of UBSAN_BOUNDS/FORTIFY_SOURCE improvements
- Netfilter: introduce packet parser for tunneled packets
- Replace IPVS timer-based estimators with kthreads to scale up the
workload with the number of available CPUs
- Add the helper support for connection-tracking OVS offload
BPF:
- Support for user defined BPF objects: the use case is to allocate
own objects, build own object hierarchies and use the building
blocks to build own data structures flexibly, for example, linked
lists in BPF
- Make cgroup local storage available to non-cgroup attached BPF
programs
- Avoid unnecessary deadlock detection and failures wrt BPF task
storage helpers
- A relevant bunch of BPF verifier fixes and improvements
- Veristat tool improvements to support custom filtering, sorting,
and replay of results
- Add LLVM disassembler as default library for dumping JITed code
- Lots of new BPF documentation for various BPF maps
- Add bpf_rcu_read_{,un}lock() support for sleepable programs
- Add RCU grace period chaining to BPF to wait for the completion of
access from both sleepable and non-sleepable BPF programs
- Add support storing struct task_struct objects as kptrs in maps
- Improve helper UAPI by explicitly defining BPF_FUNC_xxx integer
values
- Add libbpf *_opts API-variants for bpf_*_get_fd_by_id() functions

complete header processing and crypto offloading
- IPSec: extended ack support for more descriptive XFRM error
reporting
- RXRPC: increase SACK table size and move processing into a
per-local endpoint kernel thread, reducing considerably the
required locking
- IEEE 802154: synchronous send frame and extended filtering support,
initial support for scanning available 15.4 networks
- Tun: bump the link speed from 10Mbps to 10Gbps
- Tun/VirtioNet: implement UDP segmentation offload support
Driver API:
- PHY/SFP: improve power level switching between standard level 1 and
the higher power levels
- New API for netdev <-> devlink_port linkage
- PTP: convert existing drivers to new frequency adjustment
implementation
- DSA: add support for rx offloading
- Autoload DSA tagging driver when dynamically changing protocol
- Add new PCP and APPTRUST attributes to Data Center Bridging
- Add configuration support for 800Gbps link speed
- Add devlink port function attribute to enable/disable RoCE and
migratable

queuing
