Pull staging driver updates from Greg KH: "Here is the big set of staging driver updates for 6.7-rc1. A bit bigger than 6.6 this time around, as it coincided with the Outreachy and mentorship application process, so we got a bunch of new developers sending in their first changes, which is nice to see. Also in here is a removal of the qlge ethernet driver, and the rtl8192u wireless driver. Both of these were very old and no one was maintaining them, the wireless driver removal was due to no one using it anymore, and no hardware to be found, and is part of a larger effort to remove unused and old wifi drivers from the system. The qlge ethernet driver did have one user pop up after it was dropped, and we are working with the network mainainers to figure out what tree it will come back in from and who will be responsible for it, and if it really is being used or not. Odds are it will show up in a network subsystem pull request after -rc1 is out, but we aren't sure yet. Other smaller changes in here are: - Lots of vc04_services work by Umang to clean up the mess created by the rpi developers long ago, bringing it almost into good enough shape to get out of staging, hopefully next major release, it's getting close. - rtl8192e variable cleanups and removal of unused code and structures - vme_user coding style cleanups - other small coding style cleanups to lots of the staging drivers - octeon typedef removals, and then last-minute revert when it was found to break the build in some configurations (it's a hard driver to build properly, none of the normal automated testing catches it.)

net/smc: fix documentation of buffer sizes

2023-11-02T11:50:17Z

Since commit 833bac7ec392 ("net/smc: Fix setsockopt and sysctl to specify same buffer size again") the SMC protocol uses its own default values for the smc.rmem and smc.wmem sysctl variables which are no longer derived from the TCP IPv4 buffer sizes. Fixup the kernel documentation to reflect this change, too.

Documentation/tcp: Add TCP-AO documentation

2023-10-27T09:35:46Z

It has Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) on RFC 5925 - I found it very useful answering those before writing the actual code. It provides answers to common questions that arise on a quick read of the RFC, as well as how they were answered. There's also comparison to TCP-MD5 option, evaluation of per-socket vs in-kernel-DB approaches and description of uAPI provided. Hopefully, it will be as useful for reviewing the code as it was for writing.

mptcp: add a new sysctl for make after break timeout

2023-10-25T19:23:33Z

The MPTCP protocol allows sockets with no alive subflows to stay in ESTABLISHED status for and user-defined timeout, to allow for later subflows creation. Currently such timeout is constant - TCP_TIMEWAIT_LEN. Let the user-space configure them via a newly added sysctl, to better cope with busy servers and simplify (make them faster) the relevant pktdrill tests. Note that the new know does not apply to orphaned MPTCP socket waiting for the data_fin handshake completion: they always wait TCP_TIMEWAIT_LEN.
