The shaper insertion and update code takes xa_lock() explicitly.
Paolo explained that the locking was purely to avoid re-taking
the lock in loops. But it may be mis-read as if it was expecting
readers to be fenced off by xa_lock. Readers of XArray are purely
under RCU. Remove explicit taking of xa_lock().
All writers to hierarchy->shapers are serialized by the netdev
instance lock (or run after netdev is made inaccessible to readers).

====================
bonding: 3ad: fix carrier state with no usable slaves
This series addresses a blackholing issue and a subsequent link-flapping
issue in the 802.3ad bonding driver when dealing with inactive slaves
and the `min_links` parameter.
When an 802.3ad (LACP) bonding interface has no slaves in the
collecting/distributing state, the bonding master still reports
carrier as up as long as at least 'min_links' slaves have carrier.
In this situation, only one slave is effectively used for TX/RX,
while traffic received on other slaves is dropped. Upper-layer
daemons therefore consider the interface operational, even though
traffic may be blackholed if the lack of LACP negotiation means
the partner is not ready to deal with traffic.
This patchset introduces an optional behavior, widely adopted across
the industry, to address this issue. It consists of bringing the
bonding master interface down to signal to upper-layer processes
that it is not usable.
This patchset depends on the following iproute2 change:
ip/bond: add lacp_strict support
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260408152409.276358-1-louis.scalbert@6wind.com/
Patch 1 adds the missing IFLA_BOND_BROADCAST_NEIGH in if_link
UAPI header.
Patch 2 adds missing broadcast-neigh to YAML rt-link specs.
Patch 3 introduces the lacp_strict configuration knob, which is
applied in the subsequent patch. The default (off) mode preserves
the existing behavior, while the strict mode (on) is intended to force
the bonding master carrier down in this situation.
Patch 4 addresses the core issue when lacp_strict is set to strict.
It ensures that carrier is asserted only when at least 'min_links'
slaves are in the Collecting/Distributing state.
Patch 5 fixes a side effect of the previous patch. Tightening the carrier
logic exposes a state persistence bug: when a physical link goes down,
the LACP collecting/distributing flags remain set. When the link returns,
the interface briefly hallucinates that it is ready, bounces the carrier
up, and then drops it again once LACP renegotiation starts. Fix by
resetting Collecting and Distributing state as soon as the link goes
down.
Patch 6 adds a test for bonding lacp_strict both modes.

net: ethtool: let ops locked drivers run without rtnl_lock
With the ethtool_get_link_ksettings() situation hopefully ironed out
the previous series (commit 6a5d837f0c) let's return to the main
part of the series.
We have been slowly moving towards removing the rtnl_lock dependency
in driver ops since the concept of "ops-locked" drivers have been
introduced last year. Since last year will take the netdev instance
lock before invoking any ndo or ethtool op of "ops-locked" drivers.
We dipped our toes into rtnl_lock-less ops with the queue binding API.
Queue stats, NAPI, and other netdev-netlink objects are also queried
without holding rtnl_lock already. It's time to take the next logical
step and lift the requirement from ethtool ops.
The direct motivation for this patchset is that ethtool ops often
involve communicating with device FW, and may take a long time
to complete. Aggressive polling of device state on machines
with 10+ NICs have been shown to significantly increase rtnl_lock
pressure.
There's a handful of areas which still need rtnl_lock (see below).
I decided to convert everything to rtnl_lock-less by default, and
add a set of flags which let the drivers request rtnl_lock to still
be taken. I don't love this, but I'm worried that opt-in would be
even more confusing.
Known issues / exclusions:
- qdiscs - qdisc configuration currently assumes rtnl_lock, this
is mostly impacting set_channels callback. qdisc config is probably
the easiest one of the exclusions to tackle, it's fairly self-contained.
- features - even tho feature changes are (correctly) plumbed to
the driver thru ndos they are part of ethtool uAPI. ethtool itself
calls netdev_features_change() if it has spotted device feature change
before vs after to the callback. Some drivers also call
netdev_features_change() directly in response to various changes,
e.g. setting priv flags.
Since features have to propagate to upper and lower devices anything
that touches features is quite hard to move from under rtnl_lock.
- phylink - phylink and SFP depend on rtnl_lock today, I suspect
that this is purely for historic reasons. I started poking at
it and don't really see a need for a global lock. But accessing
the netdev instance lock from the SFP entry points will require
some attention from the phylink folks.
- phydev - similar to phylink, looks quite doable. But no ops-locked
driver currently has a phydev (fbnic only uses phylink) so phydev
related paths retain a ASSERT_RTNL() for now.
Tested on mlx5, bnxt and fbnic.

Convert the IOCTL path similarly to how we converted Netlink.
The device lookup gets a little hairy. We could take rtnl_lock
unconditionally and drop it before calling the driver (this would
avoid the reference + liveness check). But I think being able
to make progress even if rtnl is dead-locked is quite useful.
First extra concern is handling features. List all the cmds which
modify features and always take rtnl_lock. We could fold this list
into ethtool_ioctl_needs_rtnl() but seems cleaner to keep
ethtool_ioctl_needs_rtnl() driver-related. If a driver changed
features and we were not holding rtnl_lock - warn about it.
It can only happen on buggy ops locked drivers (buggy because
they should have set appropriate "I need rtnl for op X" bit).
Second wrinkle is the PHY ID hack which drops the locks while
sleeping. Convert its static "busy" variable which used to
be protected by rtnl_lock to a field in struct ethtool_netdev_state.
This feature is about identifying an adapter or a port within
a system, so being able to blink multiple LEDs at the same
time is likely not very useful in practice. But it's the simplest
fix, we can add a mutex if someone thinks a system should only
be ID'ing one port at a time.

Make ethtool not take rtnl_lock for SET commands when operation
is performed on an ops-locked driver. cfg/cfg_pending are now
ops-locked, since only ethtool modifies them.
Some SET driver callbacks will still need rtnl_lock, most notably
those which may end up calling netdev_update_features() or the qdisc
layer (via netif_set_real_num_tx_queues()). Let drivers selectively
opt back into the rtnl_lock with a new bitfield in ops.
We need two helpers since Netlink and ioctl cmds have different
values. Keep the helpers side by side in common.h to make sure
they get updated together, even tho they will only get called
from ioctl.c and netlink.c.
SET commands which don't use ethnl_default_set_doit() are converted

ethnl_default_doit() and ethnl_default_dump_one() are both used
exclusively for GET callbacks (former to get info for a single
device or get global strings). ops-locked devices don't need
rtnl_lock for GET callbacks, stop taking it.
Introduce an opt-out mechanism for devices which use phylink (fbnic)
since phylink currently depends on rtnl_lock protection. Subsequent
patches will add more exceptions, anyway. Practically the new helpers
for judging if command needs rtnl_lock could also call
netdev_need_ops_lock() but I find that it makes the code in the callers
slightly less obvious.
Add a helper for IOCTLs already, even tho it's unused so that
we can keep them in sync as the series progresses.
This is the first user-visible step of moving ethtool ops out
from under rtnl. Subsequent patches do the same for SET ops,
as well as the ioctl path.

The new netdev_ops_lock_dereference() helper does not have

in this case it should be obvious that we need _a_ lock.
netdev_lock_dereference() already exists and means dev->lock

ethnl_bcast_seq is a global counter stamped into the nlmsg_seq field
of every multicast notification, allowing userspace to detect dropped
messages. Today the ordering is achieved by using rtnl_lock().
Moving forward we will want ethtool ops to run under just the netdev
instance lock so to establish ordering we need a separate lock
for notifications. With the netdev instance locks operations on
different devices may bypass each other but the expectation is
that it should not matter. What we need to prevent is:
- notification IDs getting out of order
- operations on one device getting out of order
For simplicity defer allocating the ID of the notification right
before the notification is delivered. This removes the need for
special handling in ethnl_rss_create_send_ntf().

GRO test is very timing-sensitive, packets may be delayed
by the network or just sent slowly. Because of this we retry
each test case up to 6 times.
This makes perfect sense for positive cases, in which we want
to see coalescing. Negative test cases, which modify headers
and expect no coalescing should have opposite treatment.
We should really try 6 times and make sure that each time
the test failed. This would, however, require that we annotate
each test to indicate whether its positive or negative.
Let's start with a simpler improvement. Do not allow
retries if we detected over-coalescing. Previously the negative
case would have to get lucky at least once in 6 tries to pass.
Now the first failure breaks the retry loop.
For background - NICs tend to ignore the contents of the TCP
timestamp option, so that test case commonly fails. In NIPA
having 6 attempts, however, was enough for some NICs to get
multiple successful runs in a row, getting the test cases
auto-classified as expected to pass, even tho the NIC does
not comply with the expectations.

refcount for ct helper and timeout to deal with a corner case scenario

5) Continue parsing of TCP timestamp to deal with possible duplicates.
6) Use {get,put}_unaligned_be32() to acess the TCP timestamp.

Updates for the ct timeout infrastructure, to deal with a corner case
for unconfirmed conntracks flying to nfqueue:
8) Add a refcount to track ct timeout policy use by ct extension,
release the timeout until the last ct extension drops the refcnt
on it.
Similar update for the ct helper infrastructure:
9) Dynamic allocation of ct helpers, as a preparation for adding
refcount to track ct extension use.
10) Move destroy_sibling_or_exp() to nf_conntrack_proto_gre, so
pptp conntrack helper module removal does not make this code
unreachable via the helper->destroy callback. This is another
dependency for the new refcount coming in this series.
11) Add a refcount to track use of it from the ct extension, then
ct helper and timeout is reachable to the connection until
it goes away.
12) Remove the genid infrastructure in ct extensions. The primary
goal was to detect that a ct extension such as ct timeout and
ct helper went stale for unconfirmed conntrack, either because
object or module was removed. This deactivates all ct extensions
though for this unconfirmed conntrack.
13) Call nf_ct_gre_keymap_destroy() if this is a master conntrack
with a pptp helper only.
sashiko.dev reports one more relevant issue when unsetting the helper
via ctnetlink that I will address in a follow up patch.

net: airoha: Support multiple net_devices connected to the same GDM port
EN7581 or AN7583 SoCs support connecting multiple external SerDes (e.g.
Ethernet or USB SerDes) to GDM3 or GDM4 ports via a hw arbiter that
manages the traffic in a TDM manner. As a result multiple net_devices can
connect to the same GDM{3,4} port and there is a theoretical "1:n"
relation between GDM ports and net_devices.

net: mdio: realtek-rtl9300: Refactor initialization and port lookup
The Realtek Otto switch platform consists of four different series
- RTL838x aka maple : 28 port 1G Switches
- RTL839x aka cypress : 52 port 1G Switches
- RTL930x aka longan : 28 port 1G/2.5G/10G Switches
- RTL931x aka mango : 56 port 1G/2.5G/10G Switches
A lot has been done to enhance the ethernet MDIO driver for simple
integration of more SoCs. Now it is time to solve inconveniences
that were discovered during daily operation. That includes
- Consistent "of" API usage
- Tightening error handling and improving overall robustness.
- Adding support for PHY packages.
- Fixing setup order issues. These currently hinder the driver from
properly enabling the hardware on devices where U-Boot skips the
setup and leaves the controller registers untouched.

net: devmem: allow bind-rx from non-init user namespaces
NETDEV_CMD_BIND_RX is GENL_ADMIN_PERM, which checks CAP_NET_ADMIN
against init_user_ns. With netkit and netns support for devmem, it is
now useful to let workloads holding CAP_NET_ADMIN only in their own
user_ns issue bind-rx for a netns owned by that user_ns.
The first patch switches the flag to GENL_UNS_ADMIN_PERM so the check
uses the target netns's owning user_ns. Init remains permitted.
The second patch just adds test cases. They are identical to
nk_devmem.py tests, but using a non-init userns.

selftests: rds: ROCE support follow ups
This is a follow up series to the "Add ROCE support to rds selftests"
series. The first patch renames run.sh to rds_run.sh, which provides
a self-describing name that appears on the netdev CI dashboard.
The second patch addresses a sashiko complaint that I thought was
worth circling back for. In the patch "pin RDS sockets to their
intended transport," sockets are pinned to the specific transport they
are meant to test. By default, socket transports are implicitly
selected based on the network topology, but it is possible that they
can fail back to other transports if the underlying connection could
not be established. So the patch pins them to the intended transport
to avoid false positives.
The third patch "support RDS built as loadable modules," lifts the
CONFIG_MODULES=n requirement, and updates the check_*conf_enabled()
to allow modules set to "=m" and further load the backing modules for
any component set as such. config.sh is updated to match.
The fourth patch converts the rdma-prerequisite checks to return XFAIL
rather than SKIP, since the RDMA datapath is not run in netdev CI.
Questions, comments and feedback appreciated!

Turns out Python YAML defaults to a pure Python loader for YAML
files which is a lot slower than the C loader (using libyaml).
Try to use the C one whenever possible.
The avg time to run:
$ tools/net/ynl/pyynl/cli.py --family tc --no-schema
drops from 300+ ms to 115 ms with this change (40 samples).
We could drop the load time further to 85 ms if we "compiled"
the specs to JSON. Slightly tricky parts are that we don't
currently install the specs at all on make install, so it's
unclear where to put the conversion. Also JSON has questionable
support for comments and we need an SPDX line.

__ethtool_get_link_ksettings() is exported and called from sysfs
and many drivers. It invokes ethtool_ops->get_link_ksettings
so by our own docs it should be holding netdev lock for ops locked
devices. Looks like commit 2bcf4772e4 ("net: ethtool:
try to protect all callback with netdev instance lock")
missed adding the ops lock here.
There's a number of callers we need to fix up so let's add the
netif_get_link_ksettings() helper first, without any actual
locking changes (this commit is a nop).
Not treating this as a fix because I don't think any driver cares
at this point, but if we want to remove the rtnl_lock protection
this will become critical.

FW module flashing was written so that the flashing happens
without holding rtnl_lock. This allows flashing multiple modules
at once. Current drivers can handle that well, but we should
let drivers depend on the netdev instance lock. Instance lock
is per netdev, and so is the module so we won't break parallel
updates.

Jakub suggests renaming the existing assert to match
the netdev_lock_ops_compat() semantics.
We want netdev_assert_locked_ops() to mean - if the driver
is ops locked - check that it's holding the device lock.
The existing helper check for either ops lock or rtnl_lock,
which is the locking behavior of netdev_lock_ops_compat().
The reason for naming divergence is likely that
netdev_ops_assert_locked() predated the _compat() helpers.

vxlan: vnifilter: fix VNI add/update notifications
When a vxlan device has vnifilter enabled, userspace observers
(e.g., bridge monitor vni) miss VNI add events and see spurious
notifications on no-op VNI re-adds.
Patch 1 fixes the missing notification on VNI add: vxlan_vni_add()
guarded the notification on a 'changed' flag that vxlan_vni_update_group()
only sets when a multicast group or remote is supplied, so VNIs added
without a group (e.g., L3 VXLAN) were silently created.
Patch 2 fixes the spurious notification on VNI update: vxlan_vni_update()
tested 'if (changed)' against a bool pointer instead of dereferencing it,
so every re-add produced a notification regardless of whether anything
actually changed.
Patch 3 adds a selftest covering both bugs along with a few related
cases (add with remote, remote update, delete-nonexistent).

rx-copybreak requires an extra slab allocation. Since bnxt uses
page pool frags and HDS by default, the rx-copybreak doesn't
buy us anything. The extra pressure on slab causes overload
on pre-sheaves kernels on modern AMD platforms.
In synthetic testing on net-next this patch shows little difference
but I think copybreak is "obvious waste" at this point.
Default rx-copybreak threshold to 0 / disabled.
The "copybreak" defines are really the size bounds for the Rx header

====================
geneve: Allow binding UDP socket to a specific address.
By default, a GENEVE device bind()s its underlying UDP socket(s) to
the IPv4 or IPv6 wildcard address because there is no way to specify
a specific local IP address to bind() to.
This prevents deploying multiple GENEVE devices on a multi-homed host
where each device should be isolated and bound to a different local IP
address on the same UDP port.
This series introduces two options to specify local IPv4 or IPv6
addresses for a GENEVE device.

net/mlx5: Add switchdev mode support for Socket Direct single netdev, part 1/2
This series enables Socket Direct single netdev to operate in switchdev
mode with shared FDB. SD single netdev combines multiple PCI functions
behind a single netdev interface. To support switchdev offloads, these
functions must participate in virtual LAG (shared FDB).
Design
Rather than introducing a separate LAG instance for SD, this series
integrates SD secondary devices into the existing LAG structure
(priv.lag) created at probe time. Each lag_func entry carries a
group_id field that identifies its SD group membership (0 means not
part of any SD group). An xarray mark (XA_MARK_PORT) distinguishes
physical port entries from SD secondaries, enabling a single unified
iterator that filters by group:
- MLX5_LAG_FILTER_PORTS: iterate port-level entries only (existing
behavior, used by bonding, FW LAG commands, v2p_map)
- MLX5_LAG_FILTER_ALL: iterate all devices including SD secondaries
(used by MPESW shared FDB across all devices)
- specific group_id: iterate only devices in that SD group (used by
per-group SD shared FDB operations)
Existing callers use mlx5_ldev_for_each() which maps to
MLX5_LAG_FILTER_PORTS, preserving current behavior for non-SD
configurations.
Lifecycle and ownership
The SD LAG lifecycle is tied to the SD group, not to bonding events:
1. At PCI probe, mlx5_lag_add_mdev() creates the LAG structure
(priv.lag) for each LAG-capable PF. e.g.: SD primary devices
2. During mlx5_sd_init(), after the SD group is fully formed (primary
and secondaries paired), sd_lag_init() registers the secondary
devices into the primary's existing priv.lag by calling
mlx5_ldev_add_mdev() with the SD group_id. The primary's lag_func
also gets its group_id set. No separate LAG instance is created.
3. After all the devices in SD group transition to switchdev,
mlx5_lag_shared_fdb_create() is invoked with the group_id to create
a software-only shared FDB scoped to that SD group. This sets
sd_fdb_active on all lag_func entries in the group. No FW LAG
commands are issued since SD devices share the same physical port.
4. If MPESW (multi-port eswitch) is enabled on top of SD groups, the
per-group SD shared FDB is torn down first, then MPESW shared FDB is
created spanning all devices (ports + SD secondaries) using
MLX5_LAG_FILTER_ALL. On MPESW disable, per-group SD shared FDB is
restored.
5. On SD teardown (mlx5_sd_cleanup or device unbind), sd_lag_cleanup()
removes secondaries from priv.lag and clears the primary's group_id.
The LAG structure itself is not destroyed.
The sd_fdb_active flag is set on all lag_func entries in a group (not
just the primary), so any device can detect the SD shared FDB state
during lag_disable_change teardown without needing to look up peer
entries.
SD shared FDB is a pure software construct -- unlike regular LAG modes
(ROCE, SRIOV, MPESW), it does not issue FW create_lag/destroy_lag
commands. The software vport LAG for SD is implemented via eswitch
egress ACL bounce rules, managed by the IB layer through
mlx5_eth_lag_init(). And the software LAG demux is implemented via
steering rules that utilize new destination, VHCA_RX.
Patches
Infrastructure (patches 1, 5-6):
- Factor out shared FDB code into a dedicated file
- Extend lag_func with group_id and sd_fdb_active fields;
add XA_MARK_PORT and unified iterator with group_id filter
- Extend shared FDB API with group_id parameter
E-Switch preparation (patches 2-3):
- Align eswitch disable sequence ordering
- Move devcom init from TC to eswitch layer
SD group management (patches 4, 7-9):
- Replace peer count check with direct peer lookup
- Register SD secondaries in the existing LAG at SD init time
- Block RoCE and VF LAG for SD devices
- Block multipath LAG for SD devices
Switchdev integration (patch 10):
- Keep netdev resources local in switchdev mode
Steering (patches 11-12):
- Track peer flow slots with bitmap for selective peer flow deletion
- Enable TC flow steering for SD LAG
Enablement (patch 13):
- Verify unique vhca_id count for cross-VHCA RQT

net/mlx5: Avoid payload in skb's linear part for better GRO-processing
This is V7 of a series originally submitted by Christoph.
When LRO is enabled on the MLX, mlx5e_skb_from_cqe_mpwrq_nonlinear
copies parts of the payload to the linear part of the skb.
This triggers suboptimal processing in GRO, causing slow throughput.
This patch series addresses this by using eth_get_headlen to compute the
size of the protocol headers and only copy those bits. This results in a
significant throughput improvement (detailed results in the specific
patch).

netdevsim: psp: fix issues with stats collection
It has come to my attention via a sashiko review of my net-next series
for aes-gcm in netdevsim [1] that there were preexisting issues with
netdevsim's implementation of psp statistics.
API usage issues:
1. not calling u64_stats_init() on the u64_stats_sync object during
init
2. not serializing usage of the writer side API during stats update
Logical Bugs:
1. We were incrementing rx stats on the sending devices stats
counters.
Fix the first set of issues by removing the u64_stats_t api entirely,
and keep track of stats with atomics. Fix the second issue by charging
events to the right netdevsim object.

Looking at this function, I have no idea what is the purpose of

inline helper doesn't exist at all. All callers pass a pointer

Remove unused support for crypto tfm cloning
This series is targeting net-next because it depends on
"net/tcp: Remove tcp_sigpool". So far no commits in cryptodev conflict
with this, so I suggest that this be taken through net-next for 7.2.
This series removes support for transformation cloning from the crypto
API. Now that the TCP-AO and TCP-MD5 code no longer uses it, it no
longer has a user. And it's unlikely that a new one will appear, as the
library API solves the problem in a much simpler and more efficient way.
This feature also regressed performance for all crypto API users, since
it changed crypto transformation objects into reference-counted objects.
That added expensive atomic operations. The refcount is reverted by
this series, thus fixing the performance regression.

selftests: mptcp: reduce bufferbloat and cleanup
Bufferbloat is baaaad, even in our selftests: let's kill it (or at least
reduce it). By doing that, the tests (seem to) have a more stable
transfer, and are then less unstable. That's what patches 1-2 are doing,
and they can be backported up to 5.10.
Patch 3 is not related: a small fix in the selftests to remove temp
files that were not deleted in some conditions, since v5.13.

net: mana: Fix NULL dereferences during teardown after attach failure
When mana_attach() fails (e.g. during queue allocation), the error
cleanup frees apc->tx_qp and apc->rxqs and sets them to NULL. Multiple
subsequent teardown paths can then dereference these NULL pointers,
causing kernel panics.
Patch 1 adds NULL guards in the low-level teardown functions
(mana_fence_rqs, mana_destroy_vport, mana_dealloc_queues) so they are
safe to call regardless of queue initialization state. This covers all
callers: mana_remove(), mana_change_mtu() recovery, and internal error
paths in mana_alloc_queues().
Patch 2 adds an early exit in mana_detach() for already-detached ports,
making it safe for non-close callers. This allows the queue reset
handler to safely retry mana_attach() without redundant teardown.

ETHTOOL_MSG_STRSET_GET is the only op which sets allow_nodev_do.
When no device is provided it dumps static tables, there's no
need to hold rtnl_lock for this.
Not taking rtnl_lock is a minor win in itself so I think this
patch stands on its own merits. Later on it will be useful
to do locking only in paths which have access to a netdev,
so that we can decide which locks to take per-netdev.

docs: net: updates for old and cobwebbed docs
I'm hoping to start feeding our docs into the AI review tools, instead
of maintaining a separate repo with review prompts. To experiment with
that we have to refresh the docs a little bit.
A read thru our current docs makes one slightly question the value
of including them in reviews. But directionally, I feel, it's probably
still right. I'm hoping the Rx Checksum section about not dropping packets
for example to be impactful. I don't think the current AI agents or
review docs include this guidance.

Update the segmentation offload documentation to match current GSO types:
- clarify csum_start for encapsulated TSO
- document TCP AccECN GSO and NETIF_F_GSO_ACCECN
- distinguish legacy UFO from UDP L4 GSO
- add ESP and fraglist GSO entries

The Rx checksum processing gives people pause. The two main questions
in my experience are:
- what to do with bad IPv4 checksum; and
- what to do with packets with bad checksum.
Folks often feel the urge to drop the latter, to "avoid overloading
the host".

Update the checksum offload documentation to match current code:
- SCTP CRC32c offload requires NETIF_F_SCTP_CRC, not ordinary IP
checksum offload
- NETIF_F_IP_CSUM and NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM are restricted legacy
features; new devices should use NETIF_F_HW_CSUM
- GRE LCO is handled by the shared gre_build_header() helper used by
both IPv4 and IPv6 GRE
- VXLAN_F_REMCSUM_TX is a VXLAN configuration flag, not a field of
struct vxlan_rdst

Update netdev feature documentation for current locking rules and
feature semantics. Clarify hw_features updates and netdev_update_features()
locking, keep the NETIF_F_NEVER_CHANGE rule with the VLAN challenged
exception, fix the HSR duplication wording, and document netdev->netmem_tx
as a device flag rather than a feature bit.
Split the list of basic feature sets from the "extra" ones like
vlan_features. A bunch of the newer fields weren't documented and
having them all together would be confusing.

Update the NAPI documentation to match current API behavior:
- repeated napi_disable() calls hang waiting for ownership, rather
than deadlock
- NAPI IDs are exposed through SO_INCOMING_NAPI_ID and netdev Netlink
- epoll uses the maxevents parameter spelling
- add that drivers holding the netdev instance lock may need _locked()
variants

- list the full set of structures, not only pause and fec
- mention that fields are pre-initialized to ETHTOOL_STAT_NOT_SET by
ethtool_stats_init() and drivers should leave unsupported fields at
that value rather than zeroing them

A handful of unrelated nits:
- free_netdevice() does not exist; replace two stray references
with free_netdev().
- The simple-driver probe example fell through into err_undo after
register_netdev() success; add return 0 for clarity.
- Clarify the netdev_priv() paragraph: "(netdev_priv())" was easy
to misread as the thing that needs explicit freeing; spell out
that it refers to extra pointers stored in the device private
struct.
- ndo_setup_tc synchronization note: TC_SETUP_BLOCK / TC_SETUP_FT
actually run under block->cb_lock, not "NFT locks", and rtnl_lock
may or may not be held depending on path.
- ->lltx guidance reads as very outdated, it's not really deprecated.
I suspect people may have been trying to use it for HW drivers
in the past but I can't think of such a case in the last decade.

Introduce Airoha AN8801R series Gigabit Ethernet PHY driver
This series introduces the Airoha AN8801R Gigabit Ethernet PHY initial
support.
The Airoha AN8801R is a low power single-port Ethernet PHY Transceiver
with Single-port serdes interface for 1000Base-X/RGMII.
This chip is compliant with 10Base-T, 100Base-TX and 1000Base-T IEEE
802.3(u,ab) and supports:
- Energy Efficient Ethernet (802.3az)
- Full Duplex Control Flow (802.3x)
- auto-negotiation
- crossover detect and autocorrection,
- Wake-on-LAN with Magic Packet
- Jumbo Frame up to 9 Kilobytes.
This PHY also supports up to three user-configurable LEDs, which are
usually used for LAN Activity, 100M, 1000M indication.
The series provides the devicetree binding and the driver that have been
written by AngeloGioacchino Del Regno, based on downstream
implementation ([1]). The driver allows setting up PHY LEDs, 10/100M,
1000M speeds, and Wake on LAN and PHY interrupts.
Since v2, the series also adds the air_phy_lib library, which goal is to
share common code between air_en8811h and air_an8801 drivers, and its use
in them. The first shared functions are the existing BuckPbus register
accessors and air_phy_read/write_page functions coming from air_en8811h
driver.
The series is based on net-next kernel tree (sha1: 90d03ee2c5) and
I have tested it on Mediatek Genio 720-EVK board (that integrates an
Airoha AN8801RIN/A Ethernet PHY) with early board hardware enablement
patches.

ethtool: more bug fixes
Last week I sent two patch sets - one fixing bugs in RSS handling,
and one fixing CMIS / module handling. This set contains the remaining
fixes. There's a concentration of fixes around PHY and timestamp config
handling but not enough to break those out as separate sets.
