Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Core & 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

Remove the "michael_mic" crypto_shash algorithm, since it's no longer
used. Its only users were wireless drivers, which have now been
converted to use the michael_mic() function instead.
It makes sense that no other users ever appeared: Michael MIC is an
insecure algorithm that is specific to WPA TKIP, which itself was an
interim security solution to replace the broken WEP standard.

Maintaining a modular IPv6 stack offers image size savings for specific
setups, this benefit is outweighed by the architectural burden it
imposes on the subsystems on implementation and maintenance. Therefore,
drop it.
Change CONFIG_IPV6 from tristate to bool. Remove all Kconfig
dependencies across the tree that explicitly checked for IPV6=m. In
addition, remove MODULE_DESCRIPTION(), MODULE_ALIAS(), MODULE_AUTHOR()
and MODULE_LICENSE().
This is also replacing module_init() by device_initcall(). It is not
possible to use fs_initcall() as IPv4 does because that creates a race
condition on IPv6 addrconf.
Finally, modify the default configs from CONFIG_IPV6=m to CONFIG_IPV6=y
except for m68k as according to the bloat-o-meter the image is
increasing by 330KB~ and that isn't acceptable. Instead, disable IPv6 on
this architecture by default. This is aligned with m68k RAM requirements
and recommendations [1].

The kconfig options for generic crypto API modules have traditionally
*not* had a "_GENERIC" suffix. Also, the "_GENERIC" suffix will make
even less sense once the architecture-optimized SM3 code is moved into
lib/crypto/ and the "sm3" crypto_shash is reimplemented on top of that.
Thus, rename CRYPTO_SM3_GENERIC to CRYPTO_SM3.

This patch converts the existing glob selftest (lib/globtest.c) to use the
KUnit framework (lib/tests/glob_kunit.c).
The new test:
- Migrates all 64 test cases from the original test to the KUnit suite.
- Removes the custom 'verbose' module parameter as KUnit handles logging.
- Updates Kconfig.debug and Makefile to support the new KUnit test.
- Updates Kconfig and Makefile to remove the original selftest.
- Updates GLOB_SELFTEST to GLOB_KUNIT_TEST for arch/m68k/configs.

Move lib/test_min_heap.c to lib/tests/min_heap_kunit.c and convert it to
use KUnit.
This change switches the ad-hoc test code to standard KUnit test cases.
The test data remains the same, but the verification logic is updated to
use KUNIT_EXPECT_* macros.
Also remove CONFIG_TEST_MIN_HEAP from arch/*/configs/* because it is no
longer used. The new CONFIG_MIN_HEAP_KUNIT_TEST will be automatically
enabled by CONFIG_KUNIT_ALL_TESTS.
The reasons for converting to KUnit are:
1. Standardization:
Switching from ad-hoc printk-based reporting to the standard
KTAP format makes it easier for CI systems to parse and report test
results
2. Better Diagnostics:
Using KUNIT_EXPECT_* macros automatically provides detailed
diagnostics on failure.
3. Tooling Integration:
It allows the test to be managed and executed using standard
KUnit tools.

Remove aes-fixed-time, i.e. CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_TI. This was a wrapper
around the 256-byte-table-based AES implementation in lib/crypto/aes.c,
with extra code to enable and disable IRQs for constant-time hardening.
While nice in theory, in practice this had the following issues:
- For bulk en/decryption it was 2-4 times slower than aes-generic. This
resulted in aes-generic still being needed, creating fragmentation.
- Having both aes-generic and aes-fixed-time punted an AES
implementation decision to distros and users who are generally
unprepared to handle it. In practice, whether aes-fixed-time gets
used tends to be incidental and not match an explicit distro or user
intent. (While aes-fixed-time has a higher priority than aes-generic,
whether it actually gets enabled, loaded, and used depends on the
kconfig and whether a modprobe of "aes" happens to be done. It also
has a lower priority than aes-arm and aes-arm64.)
- My changes to the generic AES code (in other commits) significantly
close the gap with aes-fixed-time anyway. The table size is reduced
from 8192 bytes to 1024 bytes, and prefetching is added.
- While AES code *should* be constant-time, the real solutions for that
are AES instructions (which most CPUs have now) or bit-slicing. arm
and arm64 already have bit-sliced AES code for many modes; generic
bit-sliced code could be written but would be very slow for single
blocks. Overall, I suggest that trying to write constant-time
table-based AES code is a bit futile anyway, and in the rare cases
where a proper AES implementation is still unavailable it's reasonable
to compromise with an implementation that simply prefetches the table.
Thus, this commit removes aes-fixed-time and CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_TI. The
replacement is just the existing CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES, which for now maps
to the existing aes-generic code, but I'll soon be changing to use the
improved AES library code instead.

Remove ansi_cprng, since it's obsolete and unused, as confirmed at
https://lore.kernel.org/r/aQxpnckYMgAAOLpZ@gondor.apana.org.au/
This was originally added in 2008, apparently as a FIPS approved random
number generator. Whether this has ever belonged upstream is
questionable. Either way, ansi_cprng is no longer usable for this
purpose, since it's been superseded by the more modern algorithms in
crypto/drbg.c, and FIPS itself no longer allows it. (NIST SP 800-131A
Rev 1 (2015) says that RNGs based on ANSI X9.31 will be disallowed after
2015. NIST SP 800-131A Rev 2 (2019) confirms they are now disallowed.)
Therefore, there is no reason to keep it around.

Pull crypto library updates from Eric Biggers:
- Add a RISC-V optimized implementation of Poly1305. This code was
written by Andy Polyakov and contributed by Zhihang Shao.
- Migrate the MD5 code into lib/crypto/, and add KUnit tests for MD5.
Yes, it's still the 90s, and several kernel subsystems are still
using MD5 for legacy use cases. As long as that remains the case,
it's helpful to clean it up in the same way as I've been doing for
other algorithms.
Later, I plan to convert most of these users of MD5 to use the new
MD5 library API instead of the generic crypto API.
- Simplify the organization of the ChaCha, Poly1305, BLAKE2s, and
Curve25519 code.
Consolidate these into one module per algorithm, and centralize the
configuration and build process. This is the same reorganization that
has already been successful for SHA-1 and SHA-2.

Curve25519 has both a library API and a crypto_kpp API. However, the
crypto_kpp API for Curve25519 had no users outside crypto/testmgr.c.
I.e., no non-test code ever passed "curve25519" to crypto_alloc_kpp().
Remove this unused code. We'll instead focus on the Curve25519 library
API (<crypto/curve25519.h>), which is a simpler and easier-to-use API
and is the API that is actually being used.

The DCCP socket family has now been removed from this tree, see:
8bb3212be4 ("Merge branch 'net-retire-dccp-socket'")
Remove connection tracking and NAT support for this protocol, this
should not pose a problem because no DCCP traffic is expected to be seen
on the wire.
As for the code for matching on dccp header for iptables and nftables,
mark it as deprecated and keep it in place. Ruleset restoration is an
atomic operation. Without dccp matching support, an astray match on dccp
could break this operation leaving your computer with no policy in
place, so let's follow a more conservative approach for matches.
Add CONFIG_NFT_EXTHDR_DCCP which is set to 'n' by default to deprecate
dccp extension support. Similarly, label CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_DCCP
as deprecated too and also set it to 'n' by default.
Code to match on DCCP protocol from ebtables also remains in place, this
is just a few checks on IPPROTO_DCCP from _check() path which is
exercised when ruleset is loaded. There is another use of IPPROTO_DCCP
from the _check() path in the iptables multiport match. Another check
for IPPROTO_DCCP from the packet in the reject target is also removed.
So let's schedule removal of the dccp matching for a second stage, this
should not interfer with the dccp retirement since this is only matching
on the dccp header.

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"Core:
- Implement the Device Memory TCP transmit path, allowing zero-copy
data transmission on top of TCP from e.g. GPU memory to the wire.
- Move all the IPv6 routing tables management outside the RTNL scope,
under its own lock and RCU. The route control path is now 3x times
faster.
- Convert queue related netlink ops to instance lock, reducing again
the scope of the RTNL lock. This improves the control plane
scalability.
- Refactor the software crc32c implementation, removing unneeded
abstraction layers and improving significantly the related
micro-benchmarks.
- Optimize the GRO engine for UDP-tunneled traffic, for a 10%
performance improvement in related stream tests.
- Cover more per-CPU storage with local nested BH locking; this is a
prep work to remove the current per-CPU lock in local_bh_disable()
on PREMPT_RT.
- Introduce and use nlmsg_payload helper, combining buffer bounds
verification with accessing payload carried by netlink messages.
Netfilter:
- Rewrite the procfs conntrack table implementation, improving
considerably the dump performance. A lot of user-space tools still
use this interface.
- Implement support for wildcard netdevice in netdev basechain and
flowtables.
- Integrate conntrack information into nft trace infrastructure.
- Export set count and backend name to userspace, for better
introspection.
BPF:
- BPF qdisc support: BPF-qdisc can be implemented with BPF struct_ops
programs and can be controlled in similar way to traditional qdiscs
using the "tc qdisc" command.
- Refactor the UDP socket iterator, addressing long standing issues
WRT duplicate hits or missed sockets.
Protocols:
- Improve TCP receive buffer auto-tuning and increase the default
upper bound for the receive buffer; overall this improves the
single flow maximum thoughput on 200Gbs link by over 60%.
- Add AFS GSSAPI security class to AF_RXRPC; it provides transport
security for connections to the AFS fileserver and VL server.
- Improve TCP multipath routing, so that the sources address always
matches the nexthop device.
- Introduce SO_PASSRIGHTS for AF_UNIX, to allow disabling SCM_RIGHTS,
and thus preventing DoS caused by passing around problematic FDs.
- Retire DCCP socket. DCCP only receives updates for bugs, and major
distros disable it by default. Its removal allows for better
organisation of TCP fields to reduce the number of cache lines hit
in the fast path.
- Extend TCP drop-reason support to cover PAWS checks.
Driver API:
- Reorganize PTP ioctl flag support to require an explicit opt-in for
the drivers, avoiding the problem of drivers not rejecting new
unsupported flags.
- Converted several device drivers to timestamping APIs.
- Introduce per-PHY ethtool dump helpers, improving the support for
dump operations targeting PHYs.
Tests and tooling:
- Add support for classic netlink in user space C codegen, so that
ynl-c can now read, create and modify links, routes addresses and
qdisc layer configuration.
- Add ynl sub-types for binary attributes, allowing ynl-c to output
known struct instead of raw binary data, clarifying the classic
netlink output.
- Extend MPTCP selftests to improve the code-coverage.
- Add tests for XDP tail adjustment in AF_XDP.
New hardware / drivers:
- OpenVPN virtual driver: offload OpenVPN data channels processing to
the kernel-space, increasing the data transfer throughput WRT the
user-space implementation.

DCCP was orphaned in 2021 by commit 054c4610bd ("MAINTAINERS: dccp:
move Gerrit Renker to CREDITS"), which noted that the last maintainer
had been inactive for five years.
In recent years, it has become a playground for syzbot, and most changes
to DCCP have been odd bug fixes triggered by syzbot. Apart from that,
the only changes have been driven by treewide or networking API updates
or adjustments related to TCP.
Thus, in 2023, we announced we would remove DCCP in 2025 via commit
b144fcaf46 ("dccp: Print deprecation notice.").
Since then, only one individual has contacted the netdev mailing list. [0]
There is ongoing research for Multipath DCCP. The repository is hosted
on GitHub [1], and development is not taking place through the upstream
community. While the repository is published under the GPLv2 license,
the scheduling part remains proprietary, with a LICENSE file [2] stating:
"This is not Open Source software."
The researcher mentioned a plan to address the licensing issue, upstream
the patches, and step up as a maintainer, but there has been no further
communication since then.
Maintaining DCCP for a decade without any real users has become a burden.
Therefore, it's time to remove it.
Removing DCCP will also provide significant benefits to TCP. It allows
us to freely reorganize the layout of struct inet_connection_sock, which
is currently shared with DCCP, and optimize it to reduce the number of
cachelines accessed in the TCP fast path.
Note that we keep DCCP netfilter modules as requested. [3]

The keywrap (kw) algorithm has no in-tree user. It has never had an
in-tree user, and the patch that added it provided no justification for
its inclusion. Even use of it via AF_ALG is impossible, as it uses a
weird calling convention where part of the ciphertext is returned via
the IV buffer, which is not returned to userspace in AF_ALG.
It's also unclear whether any new code in the kernel that does key
wrapping would actually use this algorithm. It is controversial in the
cryptographic community due to having no clearly stated security goal,
no security proof, poor performance, and only a 64-bit auth tag. Later
work (https://eprint.iacr.org/2006/221) suggested that the goal is
deterministic authenticated encryption. But there are now more modern
algorithms for this, and this is not the same as key wrapping, for which
a regular AEAD such as AES-GCM usually can be (and is) used instead.
Therefore, remove this unused code.
There were several special cases for this algorithm in the self-tests,
due to its weird calling convention. Remove those too.

Remove the vmac64 template, as it has no known users. It also continues
to have longstanding bugs such as alignment violations (see
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241226134847.6690-1-evepolonium@gmail.com/).
This code was added in 2009 by commit f1939f7c56 ("crypto: vmac - New
hash algorithm for intel_txt support"). Based on the mention of
intel_txt support in the commit title, it seems it was added as a
prerequisite for the contemporaneous patch
"intel_txt: add s3 userspace memory integrity verification"
(https://lore.kernel.org/r/4ABF2B50.6070106@intel.com/). In the design
proposed by that patch, when an Intel Trusted Execution Technology (TXT)
enabled system resumed from suspend, the "tboot" trusted executable
launched the Linux kernel without verifying userspace memory, and then
the Linux kernel used VMAC to verify userspace memory.
However, that patch was never merged, as reviewers had objected to the
design. It was later reworked into commit 4bd96a7a81 ("x86, tboot:
Add support for S3 memory integrity protection") which made tboot verify
the memory instead. Thus the VMAC support in Linux was never used.
No in-tree user has appeared since then, other than potentially the
usual components that allow specifying arbitrary hash algorithms by
name, namely AF_ALG and dm-integrity. However there are no indications
that VMAC is being used with these components. Debian Code Search and
web searches for "vmac64" (the actual algorithm name) do not return any
results other than the kernel itself, suggesting that it does not appear
in any other code or documentation. Explicitly grepping the source code
of the usual suspects (libell, iwd, cryptsetup) finds no matches either.
Before 2018, the vmac code was also completely broken due to using a
hardcoded nonce and the wrong endianness for the MAC. It was then fixed
by commit ed331adab3 ("crypto: vmac - add nonced version with big
endian digest") and commit 0917b87312 ("crypto: vmac - remove insecure
version with hardcoded nonce"). These were intentionally breaking
changes that changed all the computed MAC values as well as the
algorithm name ("vmac" to "vmac64"). No complaints were ever received
about these breaking changes, strongly suggesting the absence of users.
The reason I had put some effort into fixing this code in 2018 is
because it was used by an out-of-tree driver. But if it is still needed
in that particular out-of-tree driver, the code can be carried in that
driver instead. There is no need to carry it upstream.

- Enable modular build of the glob self-test on configs that didn't
have it yet (visible since commit b67abaad4d ("kunit: Allow
kunit test modules to use test filtering")),
- Replace CONFIG_FB=y by CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y on the virt
platform (the former is no longer needed since commit

Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:
- SLAB deprecation:
Following the discussion at LSF/MM 2023 [1] and no objections, the
SLAB allocator is deprecated by renaming the config option (to make
its users notice) to CONFIG_SLAB_DEPRECATED with updated help text.
SLUB should be used instead. Existing defconfigs with CONFIG_SLAB are
also updated.
- SLAB_NO_MERGE kmem_cache flag (Jesper Dangaard Brouer):
There are (very limited) cases where kmem_cache merging is
undesirable, and existing ways to prevent it are hacky. Introduce a
new flag to do that cleanly and convert the existing hacky users.
Btrfs plans to use this for debug kernel builds (that use case is
always fine), networking for performance reasons (that should be very
rare).
- Replace the usage of weak PRNGs (David Keisar Schmidt):
In addition to using stronger RNGs for the security related features,
the code is a bit cleaner.
- Misc code cleanups (SeongJae Parki, Xiongwei Song, Zhen Lei, and
zhaoxinchao)

As discussed at LSF/MM [1] [2] and with no objections raised there,
deprecate the SLAB allocator. Rename the user-visible option so that
users with CONFIG_SLAB=y get a new prompt with explanation during make
oldconfig, while make olddefconfig will just switch to SLUB.
In all defconfigs with CONFIG_SLAB=y remove the line so those also
switch to SLUB. Regressions due to the switch should be reported to
linux-mm and slab maintainers.
