<content type='text'>
In nfp_net_alloc(), the memory allocated for xsk_pools is not freed in
the subsequent error paths, leading to a memory leak. Fix that by
freeing it in the error path.

<title>nfp: fix RSS hash key size when RSS is not supported</title>

<content type='text'>
The nfp_net_get_rxfh_key_size() function returns -EOPNOTSUPP when
devices don't support RSS, and callers treat the negative value as a
large positive value since the return type is u32.

Return 0 when devices don't support RSS, aligning with the ethtool
interface .get_rxfh_key_size() that requires returning 0 in such cases.

<title>net: WQ_PERCPU added to alloc_workqueue users</title>

<id>urn:sha1:27ce71e1ce81875df72f7698ba27988392bef602</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently if a user enqueue a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the
used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use
WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to
schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use
again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND.
This lack of consistentcy cannot be addressed without refactoring the API.

alloc_workqueue() treats all queues as per-CPU by default, while unbound
workqueues must opt-in via WQ_UNBOUND.

This default is suboptimal: most workloads benefit from unbound queues,
allowing the scheduler to place worker threads where they’re needed and
reducing noise when CPUs are isolated.

This change adds a new WQ_PERCPU flag at the network subsystem, to explicitly
request the use of the per-CPU behavior. Both flags coexist for one release
cycle to allow callers to transition their calls.

Once migration is complete, WQ_UNBOUND can be removed and unbound will
become the implicit default.

With the introduction of the WQ_PERCPU flag (equivalent to !WQ_UNBOUND),
any alloc_workqueue() caller that doesn’t explicitly specify WQ_UNBOUND
must now use WQ_PERCPU.

All existing users have been updated accordingly.

<title>tcp: Don't pass hashinfo to socket lookup helpers.</title>

<content type='text'>
These socket lookup functions required struct inet_hashinfo because
they are shared by TCP and DCCP.

  * __inet_lookup_established()
  * __inet_lookup_listener()
  * __inet6_lookup_established()
  * inet6_lookup_listener()

DCCP has gone, and we don't need to pass hashinfo down to them.

Let's fetch net-&gt;ipv4.tcp_death_row.hashinfo directly in the above
4 functions.

<id>urn:sha1:fce214586f99fe971a78ff1342cc331eecc74855</id>
<content type='text'>
Remove array_size() calls and replace vmalloc() with vmalloc_array() in
nfp_flower_metadata_init().  vmalloc_array() is also optimized better,
resulting in less instructions being used.

Place 'NFP_FL_STATS_ELEM_RS' with the sizeof() parameter as the second
argument to vmalloc_array() to avoid -Wcalloc-transposed-args compilation
warnings.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core &amp; protocols:

   - Wrap datapath globals into net_aligned_data, to avoid false sharing

   - Preserve MSG_ZEROCOPY in forwarding (e.g. out of a container)

   - Add SO_INQ and SCM_INQ support to AF_UNIX

   - Add SIOCINQ support to AF_VSOCK

   - Add TCP_MAXSEG sockopt to MPTCP

   - Add IPv6 force_forwarding sysctl to enable forwarding per interface

   - Make TCP validation of whether packet fully fits in the receive
     window and the rcv_buf more strict. With increased use of HW
     aggregation a single "packet" can be multiple 100s of kB

   - Add MSG_MORE flag to optimize large TCP transmissions via sockmap,
     improves latency up to 33% for sockmap users

   - Convert TCP send queue handling from tasklet to BH workque

   - Improve BPF iteration over TCP sockets to see each socket exactly
     once

   - Remove obsolete and unused TCP RFC3517/RFC6675 loss recovery code

   - Support enabling kernel threads for NAPI processing on per-NAPI
     instance basis rather than a whole device. Fully stop the kernel
     NAPI thread when threaded NAPI gets disabled. Previously thread
     would stick around until ifdown due to tricky synchronization

   - Allow multicast routing to take effect on locally-generated packets

   - Add output interface argument for End.X in segment routing

   - MCTP: add support for gateway routing, improve bind() handling

   - Don't require rtnl_lock when fetching an IPv6 neighbor over Netlink

   - Add a new neighbor flag ("extern_valid"), which cedes refresh
     responsibilities to userspace. This is needed for EVPN multi-homing
     where a neighbor entry for a multi-homed host needs to be synced
     across all the VTEPs among which the host is multi-homed

   - Support NUD_PERMANENT for proxy neighbor entries

   - Add a new queuing discipline for IETF RFC9332 DualQ Coupled AQM

   - Add sequence numbers to netconsole messages. Unregister
     netconsole's console when all net targets are removed. Code
     refactoring. Add a number of selftests

   - Align IPSec inbound SA lookup to RFC 4301. Only SPI and protocol
     should be used for an inbound SA lookup

   - Support inspecting ref_tracker state via DebugFS

   - Don't force bonding advertisement frames tx to ~333 ms boundaries.
     Add broadcast_neighbor option to send ARP/ND on all bonded links

   - Allow providing upcall pid for the 'execute' command in openvswitch

   - Remove DCCP support from Netfilter's conntrack

   - Disallow multiple packet duplications in the queuing layer

   - Prevent use of deprecated iptables code on PREEMPT_RT

  Driver API:

   - Support RSS and hashing configuration over ethtool Netlink

   - Add dedicated ethtool callbacks for getting and setting hashing
     fields

   - Add support for power budget evaluation strategy in PSE /
