Merge tag 'net-6.6-rc7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net
Pull networking fixes from Jakub Kicinski: "Including fixes from bluetooth, netfilter, WiFi. Feels like an up-tick in regression fixes, mostly for older releases. The hfsc fix, tcp_disconnect() and Intel WWAN fixes stand out as fairly clear-cut user reported regressions. The mlx5 DMA bug was causing strife for 390x folks. The fixes themselves are not particularly scary, tho. No open investigations / outstanding reports at the time of writing. Current release - regressions: - eth: mlx5: perform DMA operations in the right locations, make devices usable on s390x, again - sched: sch_hfsc: upgrade 'rt' to 'sc' when it becomes a inner curve, previous fix of rejecting invalid config broke some scripts - rfkill: reduce data->mtx scope in rfkill_fop_open, avoid deadlock - revert "ethtool: Fix mod state of verbose no_mask bitset", needs more work Current release - new code bugs: - tcp: fix listen() warning with v4-mapped-v6 address Previous releases - regressions: - tcp: allow tcp_disconnect() again when threads are waiting, it was denied to plug a constant source of bugs but turns out .NET depends on it - eth: mlx5: fix double-free if buffer refill fails under OOM - revert "net: wwan: iosm: enable runtime pm support for 7560", it's causing regressions and the WWAN team at Intel disappeared - tcp: tsq: relax tcp_small_queue_check() when rtx queue contains a single skb, fix single-stream perf regression on some devices Previous releases - always broken: - Bluetooth: - fix issues in legacy BR/EDR PIN code pairing - correctly bounds check and pad HCI_MON_NEW_INDEX name - netfilter: - more fixes / follow ups for the large "commit protocol" rework, which went in as a fix to 6.5 - fix null-derefs on netlink attrs which user may not pass in - tcp: fix excessive TLP and RACK timeouts from HZ rounding (bless Debian for keeping HZ=250 alive) - net: more strict VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_UDP_L4 validation, prevent letting frankenstein UDP super-frames from getting into the stack - net: fix interface altnames when ifc moves to a new namespace - eth: qed: fix the size of the RX buffers - mptcp: avoid sending RST when closing the initial subflow" * tag 'net-6.6-rc7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net: (94 commits) Revert "ethtool: Fix mod state of verbose no_mask bitset" selftests: mptcp: join: no RST when rm subflow/addr mptcp: avoid sending RST when closing the initial subflow mptcp: more conservative check for zero probes tcp: check mptcp-level constraints for backlog coalescing selftests: mptcp: join: correctly check for no RST net: ti: icssg-prueth: Fix r30 CMDs bitmasks selftests: net: add very basic test for netdev names and namespaces net: move altnames together with the netdevice net: avoid UAF on deleted altname net: check for altname conflicts when changing netdev's netns net: fix ifname in netlink ntf during netns move net: ethernet: ti: Fix mixed module-builtin object net: phy: bcm7xxx: Add missing 16nm EPHY statistics ipv4: fib: annotate races around nh->nh_saddr_genid and nh->nh_saddr tcp_bpf: properly release resources on error paths net/sched: sch_hfsc: upgrade 'rt' to 'sc' when it becomes a inner curve net: mdio-mux: fix C45 access returning -EIO after API change tcp: tsq: relax tcp_small_queue_check() when rtx queue contains a single skb octeon_ep: update BQL sent bytes before ringing doorbell ...

The representor netdevice should *not* directly refer to a PCIe device (e.g.
through ``net_dev->dev.parent`` / ``SET_NETDEV_DEV()``), either of the
representee or of the switchdev function.
-Instead, it should implement the ``ndo_get_devlink_port()`` netdevice op, which
-the kernel uses to provide the ``phys_switch_id`` and ``phys_port_name`` sysfs
-nodes. (Some legacy drivers implement ``ndo_get_port_parent_id()`` and
+Instead, the driver should use the ``SET_NETDEV_DEVLINK_PORT`` macro to
+assign a devlink port instance to the netdevice before registering the
+netdevice; the kernel uses the devlink port to provide the ``phys_switch_id``
+and ``phys_port_name`` sysfs nodes.
+(Some legacy drivers implement ``ndo_get_port_parent_id()`` and
``ndo_get_phys_port_name()`` directly, but this is deprecated.) See
:ref:`Documentation/networking/devlink/devlink-port.rst <devlink_port>` for the
details of this API.
