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)

   - Support per-port resources in devlink (implement in mlx5)

   - Expand the YAML spec for Netfilter

<content type='text'>
This series cleans up some of the special user copy functions naming and
semantics.  In particular, get rid of the (very traditional) double
underscore names and behavior: the whole "optimize away the range check"
model has been largely excised from the other user accessors because
it's so subtle and can be unsafe, but also because it's just not a
relevant optimization any more.

To do that, a couple of drivers that misused the "user" copies as kernel
copies in order to get non-temporal stores had to be fixed up, but that
kind of code should never have been allowed anyway.

The x86-only "nocache" version was also renamed to more accurately
reflect what it actually does.

This was all done because I looked at this code due to a report by Jann
Horn, and I just couldn't stand the inconsistent naming, the horrible
semantics, and the random misuse of these functions.  This code should
probably be cleaned up further, but it's at least slightly closer to
normal semantics.

I had a more intrusive series that went even further in trying to
normalize the semantics, but that ended up hitting so many other
inconsistencies between different architectures in this area (eg
'size_t' vs 'unsigned long' vs 'int' as size arguments, and various
iovec check differences that Vasily Gorbik pointed out) that I ended up
with this more limited version that fixed the worst of the issues.

<title>kernfs: pass struct ns_common instead of const void * for namespace tags</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e3b2cf6e5dba416a03152f299d99982dfe1e861d</id>
<content type='text'>
kernfs has historically used const void * to pass around namespace tags
used for directory-level namespace filtering. The only current user of
this is sysfs network namespace tagging where struct net pointers are
cast to void *.

Replace all const void * namespace parameters with const struct
ns_common * throughout the kernfs, sysfs, and kobject namespace layers.
This includes the kobj_ns_type_operations callbacks, kobject_namespace(),
and all sysfs/kernfs APIs that accept or return namespace tags.

Passing struct ns_common is needed because various codepaths require
access to the underlying namespace. A struct ns_common can always be
converted back to the concrete namespace type (e.g., struct net) via
container_of() or to_ns_common() in the reverse direction.

This is a preparatory change for switching to ns_id-based directory
iteration to prevent a KASLR pointer leak through the current use of
raw namespace pointers as hash seeds and comparison keys.

<title>mm: rename zap_vma_ptes() to zap_special_vma_range()</title>

zap_vma_ptes() is the only zapping function we export to modules.

It's essentially a wrapper around zap_vma_range(), however, with some
safety checks:
* That the passed range fits fully into the VMA
* That it's only used for VM_PFNMAP

We will add support for VM_MIXEDMAP next, so use the more-generic term
"special vma", although "special" is a bit overloaded.  Maybe we'll later
just support any VM_SPECIAL flag.

While at it, improve the kerneldoc.

This function was a masterclass in bad naming, for various historical
reasons.

It claimed to be a non-cached user copy.  It is literally _neither_ of
those things.  It's a specialty memory copy routine that uses
non-temporal stores for the destination (but not the source), and that
does exception handling for both source and destination accesses.

Also note that while it works for unaligned targets, any unaligned parts
(whether at beginning or end) will not use non-temporal stores, since
only words and quadwords can be non-temporal on x86.

The exception handling means that it _can_ be used for user space
accesses, but not on its own - it needs all the normal "start user space
access" logic around it.

But typically the user space access would be the source, not the
non-temporal destination.  That was the original intention of this,
where the destination was some fragile persistent memory target that
needed non-temporal stores in order to catch machine check exceptions
synchronously and deal with them gracefully.

Thus that non-descriptive name: one use case was to copy from user space
into a non-cached kernel buffer.  However, the existing users are a mix
of that intended use-case, and a couple of random drivers that just did
this as a performance tweak.

Some of those random drivers then actively misused the user copying
version (with STAC/CLAC and all) to do kernel copies without ever even
caring about the exception handling, _just_ for the non-temporal
destination.

Rename it as a first small step to actually make it halfway sane, and
change the prototype to be more normal: it doesn't take a user pointer
unless the caller has done the proper conversion, and the argument size
is the full size_t (it still won't actually copy more than 4GB in one
go, but there's also no reason to silently truncate the size argument in
the caller).

Finally, use this now sanely named function in the NTB code, which
mis-used a user copy version (with STAC/CLAC and all) of this interface
despite it not actually being a user copy at all.
