Pull nfsd updates from Chuck Lever:
- Mike Snitzer's mechanism for disabling I/O caching introduced in
v6.18 is extended to include using direct I/O. The goal is to further
reduce the memory footprint consumed by NFS clients accessing large
data sets via NFSD.
- The NFSD community adopted a maintainer entry profile during this
cycle. See
Documentation/filesystems/nfs/nfsd-maintainer-entry-profile.rst
- Work continues on hardening NFSD's implementation of the pNFS block
layout type. This type enables pNFS clients to directly access the
underlying block devices that contain an exported file system,
reducing server overhead and increasing data throughput.
- The remaining patches are clean-ups and minor optimizations. Many
thanks to the contributors, reviewers, testers, and bug reporters who
participated during the v6.19 NFSD development cycle.

Pull persistent dentry infrastructure and conversion from Al Viro:
"Some filesystems use a kinda-sorta controlled dentry refcount leak to
pin dentries of created objects in dcache (and undo it when removing
those). A reference is grabbed and not released, but it's not actually
_stored_ anywhere.
That works, but it's hard to follow and verify; among other things, we
have no way to tell _which_ of the increments is intended to be an
unpaired one. Worse, on removal we need to decide whether the
reference had already been dropped, which can be non-trivial if that
removal is on umount and we need to figure out if this dentry is
pinned due to e.g. unlink() not done. Usually that is handled by using
kill_litter_super() as ->kill_sb(), but there are open-coded special
cases of the same (consider e.g. /proc/self).
Things get simpler if we introduce a new dentry flag
(DCACHE_PERSISTENT) marking those "leaked" dentries. Having it set
claims responsibility for +1 in refcount.
The end result this series is aiming for:
- get these unbalanced dget() and dput() replaced with new primitives
that would, in addition to adjusting refcount, set and clear
persistency flag.
- instead of having kill_litter_super() mess with removing the
remaining "leaked" references (e.g. for all tmpfs files that hadn't
been removed prior to umount), have the regular
shrink_dcache_for_umount() strip DCACHE_PERSISTENT of all dentries,
dropping the corresponding reference if it had been set. After that
kill_litter_super() becomes an equivalent of kill_anon_super().
Doing that in a single step is not feasible - it would affect too many
places in too many filesystems. It has to be split into a series.
This work has really started early in 2024; quite a few preliminary
pieces have already gone into mainline. This chunk is finally getting
to the meat of that stuff - infrastructure and most of the conversions
to it.
Some pieces are still sitting in the local branches, but the bulk of
that stuff is here"

Pull io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:
- Unify how task_work cancelations are detected, placing it in the
task_work running state rather than needing to check the task state
- Series cleaning up and moving the cancelation code to where it
belongs, in cancel.c
- Cleanup of waitid and futex argument handling
- Add support for mixed sized SQEs. 6.18 added support for mixed sized
CQEs, improving flexibility and efficiency of workloads that need big
CQEs. This adds similar support for SQEs, where the occasional need
for a 128b SQE doesn't necessitate having all SQEs be 128b in size
- Introduce zcrx and SQ/CQ layout queries. The former returns what zcrx
features are available. And both return the ring size information to
help with allocation size calculation for user provided rings like
IORING_SETUP_NO_MMAP and IORING_MEM_REGION_TYPE_USER
- Zcrx updates for 6.19. It includes a bunch of small patches,
IORING_REGISTER_ZCRX_CTRL and RQ flushing and David's work on sharing
zcrx b/w multiple io_uring instances
- Series cleaning up ring initializations, notable deduplicating ring
size and offset calculations. It also moves most of the checking
before doing any allocations, making the code simpler

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Core & protocols:
- Replace busylock at the Tx queuing layer with a lockless list.
Resulting in a 300% (4x) improvement on heavy TX workloads, sending
twice the number of packets per second, for half the cpu cycles.
- Allow constantly busy flows to migrate to a more suitable CPU/NIC
queue.
Normally we perform queue re-selection when flow comes out of idle,
but under extreme circumstances the flows may be constantly busy.
Add sysctl to allow periodic rehashing even if it'd risk packet
reordering.
- Optimize the NAPI skb cache, make it larger, use it in more paths.
- Attempt returning Tx skbs to the originating CPU (like we already
did for Rx skbs).
- Various data structure layout and prefetch optimizations from Eric.
- Remove ktime_get() from the recvmsg() fast path, ktime_get() is
sadly quite expensive on recent AMD machines.
- Extend threaded NAPI polling to allow the kthread busy poll for
packets.
- Make MPTCP use Rx backlog processing. This lowers the lock
pressure, improving the Rx performance.
- Support memcg accounting of MPTCP socket memory.
- Allow admin to opt sockets out of global protocol memory accounting
(using a sysctl or BPF-based policy). The global limits are a poor
fit for modern container workloads, where limits are imposed using
cgroups.
- Improve heuristics for when to kick off AF_UNIX garbage collection.
- Allow users to control TCP SACK compression, and default to 33% of
RTT.
- Add tcp_rcvbuf_low_rtt sysctl to let datacenter users avoid
unnecessarily aggressive rcvbuf growth and overshot when the
connection RTT is low.
- Preserve skb metadata space across skb_push / skb_pull operations.
- Support for IPIP encapsulation in the nftables flowtable offload.
- Support appending IP interface information to ICMP messages (RFC
5837).
- Support setting max record size in TLS (RFC 8449).
- Remove taking rtnl_lock from RTM_GETNEIGHTBL and RTM_SETNEIGHTBL.
- Use a dedicated lock (and RCU) in MPLS, instead of rtnl_lock.
- Let users configure the number of write buffers in SMC.
- Add new struct sockaddr_unsized for sockaddr of unknown length,
from Kees.
- Some conversions away from the crypto_ahash API, from Eric Biggers.

- Add DPLL phase-adjust-gran pin attribute (and implement it in
zl3073x).
- Refactor xfrm_input lock to reduce contention when NIC offloads
IPsec and performs RSS.
- Add info to devlink params whether the current setting is the
default or a user override. Allow resetting back to default.
- Add standard device stats for PSP crypto offload.
- Leverage DSA frame broadcast to implement simple HSR frame
duplication for a lot of switches without dedicated HSR offload.

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
- Allow creaing nbcon console drivers with an unsafe write_atomic()
callback that can only be called by the final nbcon_atomic_flush_unsafe().
Otherwise, the driver would rely on the kthread.
It is going to be used as the-best-effort approach for an
experimental nbcon netconsole driver, see
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251121-nbcon-v1-2-503d17b2b4af@debian.org
Note that a safe .write_atomic() callback is supposed to work in NMI
context. But some networking drivers are not safe even in IRQ
context:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/oc46gdpmmlly5o44obvmoatfqo5bhpgv7pabpvb6sjuqioymcg@gjsma3ghoz35
In an ideal world, all networking drivers would be fixed first and
the atomic flush would be blocked only in NMI context. But it brings
the question how reliable networking drivers are when the system is
in a bad state. They might block flushing more reliable serial
consoles which are more suitable for serious debugging anyway.
- Allow to use the last 4 bytes of the printk ring buffer.
- Prevent queuing IRQ work and block printk kthreads when consoles are
suspended. Otherwise, they create non-necessary churn or even block
the suspend.
- Release console_lock() between each record in the kthread used for
legacy consoles on RT. It might significantly speed up the boot.
- Release nbcon context between each record in the atomic flush. It
prevents stalls of the related printk kthread after it has lost the
ownership in the middle of a record
- Add support for NBCON consoles into KDB
- Add %ptsP modifier for printing struct timespec64 and use it where
possible

Pull scoped user access updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Scoped user mode access and related changes:
- Implement the missing u64 user access function on ARM when
CONFIG_CPU_SPECTRE=n.
This makes it possible to access a 64bit value in generic code with
[unsafe_]get_user(). All other architectures and ARM variants
provide the relevant accessors already.
- Ensure that ASM GOTO jump label usage in the user mode access
helpers always goes through a local C scope label indirection
inside the helpers.
This is required because compilers are not supporting that a ASM
GOTO target leaves a auto cleanup scope. GCC silently fails to emit
the cleanup invocation and CLANG fails the build.
[ Editor's note: gcc-16 will have fixed the code generation issue
in commit f68fe3ddda4 ("eh: Invoke cleanups/destructors in asm
goto jumps [PR122835]"). But we obviously have to deal with clang
and older versions of gcc, so.. - Linus ]
This provides generic wrapper macros and the conversion of affected
architecture code to use them.
- Scoped user mode access with auto cleanup
Access to user mode memory can be required in hot code paths, but
if it has to be done with user controlled pointers, the access is
shielded with a speculation barrier, so that the CPU cannot
speculate around the address range check. Those speculation
barriers impact performance quite significantly.
This cost can be avoided by "masking" the provided pointer so it is
guaranteed to be in the valid user memory access range and
otherwise to point to a guaranteed unpopulated address space. This
has to be done without branches so it creates an address dependency
for the access, which the CPU cannot speculate ahead.
This results in repeating and error prone programming patterns:
if (can_do_masked_user_access())
from = masked_user_read_access_begin((from));
else if (!user_read_access_begin(from, sizeof(*from)))
return -EFAULT;
unsafe_get_user(val, from, Efault);
user_read_access_end();
return 0;
Efault:
user_read_access_end();
return -EFAULT;
which can be replaced with scopes and automatic cleanup:
scoped_user_read_access(from, Efault)
unsafe_get_user(val, from, Efault);
return 0;
Efault:
return -EFAULT;
- Convert code which implements the above pattern over to
scope_user.*.access(). This also corrects a couple of imbalanced
masked_*_begin() instances which are harmless on most
architectures, but prevent PowerPC from implementing the masking
optimization.

In cake_drop(), qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog() is used to update the qlen
and backlog of the qdisc hierarchy. Its caller, cake_enqueue(), assumes
that the parent qdisc will enqueue the current packet. However, this
assumption breaks when cake_enqueue() returns NET_XMIT_CN: the parent
qdisc stops enqueuing current packet, leaving the tree qlen/backlog
accounting inconsistent. This mismatch can lead to a NULL dereference
(e.g., when the parent Qdisc is qfq_qdisc).
This patch computes the qlen/backlog delta in a more robust way by
observing the difference before and after the series of cake_drop()
calls, and then compensates the qdisc tree accounting if cake_enqueue()
returns NET_XMIT_CN.
To ensure correct compensation when ACK thinning is enabled, a new
variable is introduced to keep qlen unchanged.
Fixes: 15de71d06a ("net/sched: Make cake_enqueue return NET_XMIT_CN when past buffer_limit")

Pull fd prepare updates from Christian Brauner:
"This adds the FD_ADD() and FD_PREPARE() primitive. They simplify the
common pattern of get_unused_fd_flags() + create file + fd_install()
that is used extensively throughout the kernel and currently requires
cumbersome cleanup paths.
FD_ADD() - For simple cases where a file is installed immediately:
fd = FD_ADD(O_CLOEXEC, vfio_device_open_file(device));
if (fd < 0)
vfio_device_put_registration(device);
return fd;
FD_PREPARE() - For cases requiring access to the fd or file, or
additional work before publishing:
FD_PREPARE(fdf, O_CLOEXEC, sync_file->file);
if (fdf.err) {
fput(sync_file->file);
return fdf.err;
}
data.fence = fd_prepare_fd(fdf);
if (copy_to_user((void __user *)arg, &data, sizeof(data)))
return -EFAULT;
return fd_publish(fdf);
The primitives are centered around struct fd_prepare. FD_PREPARE()
encapsulates all allocation and cleanup logic and must be followed by
a call to fd_publish() which associates the fd with the file and
installs it into the caller's fdtable. If fd_publish() isn't called,
both are deallocated automatically. FD_ADD() is a shorthand that does
fd_publish() immediately and never exposes the struct to the caller.
I've implemented this in a way that it's compatible with the cleanup
infrastructure while also being usable separately. IOW, it's centered
around struct fd_prepare which is aliased to class_fd_prepare_t and so
we can make use of all the basica guard infrastructure"

It turns out that HSR offloads are so fine-grained that many DSA
switches can do a small part even though they weren't specifically
designed for the protocols supported by that driver (HSR and PRP).
Specifically NETIF_F_HW_HSR_DUP - it is simple packet duplication on
transmit, towards all (aka 2) ports members of the HSR device.
For many DSA switches, we know how to duplicate a packet, even though we
never typically use that feature. The transmit port mask from the
tagging protocol can have multiple bits set, and the switch should send
the packet once to every port with a bit set from that mask.
Nonetheless, not all tagging protocols are like this, and sometimes the
port is a single numeric value rather than a bit mask. For that reason,
and also because switches can sometimes change tagging protocols for
different ones, we need to make HSR offload helpers opt-in.
For devices that can do nothing else HSR-specific, we introduce
dsa_port_simple_hsr_join() and dsa_port_simple_hsr_leave(). These
functions monitor when two user ports of the same switch are part of the
same HSR device, and when that condition is true, they toggle the
NETIF_F_HW_HSR_DUP feature flag of both net devices.
Normally only dsa_port_simple_hsr_join() and dsa_port_simple_hsr_leave()
are needed. The dsa_port_simple_hsr_validate() helper is just to see
what kind of configuration could be offloadable using the generic
helpers. This is used by switch drivers which are not currently using
the right tagging protocol to offload this HSR ring, but could in
principle offload it after changing the tagger.

This mirrors what we do in dsa_port_lag_leave() and
dsa_port_bridge_leave(): when ds->ops->port_hsr_join() returns
-EOPNOTSUPP, we fall back to a software implementation where dp->hsr_dev
is NULL, and the unoffloaded port is no longer bothered with calls from
the HSR layer.
This helps, for example, with interlink ports which current DSA drivers
don't know how to offload. We have to check only in port_hsr_join() for
the port type, then in port_hsr_leave() we are sure we're dealing only
with known port types.

Since the introduction of HSR_PT_INTERLINK in commit 5055cccfc2 ("net:
hsr: Provide RedBox support (HSR-SAN)"), we see that different port
types require different settings for hardware offload, which was not the
case before when we only had HSR_PT_SLAVE_A and HSR_PT_SLAVE_B. But
there is currently no way to know which port is which type, so create
the hsr_get_port_type() API function and export it.
When hsr_get_port_type() is called from the device driver, the port can
must be found in the HSR port list. An important use case is for this
function to work from offloading drivers' NETDEV_CHANGEUPPER handler,
which is triggered by hsr_portdev_setup() -> netdev_master_upper_dev_link().
Therefore, we need to move the addition of the hsr_port to the HSR port
list prior to calling hsr_portdev_setup(). This makes the error
restoration path also more similar to hsr_del_port(), where
kfree_rcu(port) is already used.

Pull directory delegations update from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the work for recall-only directory delegations for
knfsd.
Add support for simple, recallable-only directory delegations. This
was decided at the fall NFS Bakeathon where the NFS client and server
maintainers discussed how to merge directory delegation support.
The approach starts with recallable-only delegations for several reasons:
1. RFC8881 has gaps that are being addressed in RFC8881bis. In
particular, it requires directory position information for
CB_NOTIFY callbacks, which is difficult to implement properly
under Linux. The spec is being extended to allow that information
to be omitted.
2. Client-side support for CB_NOTIFY still lags. The client side
involves heuristics about when to request a delegation.
3. Early indication shows simple, recallable-only delegations can
help performance. Anna Schumaker mentioned seeing a multi-minute
speedup in xfstests runs with them enabled.
With these changes, userspace can also request a read lease on a
directory that will be recalled on conflicting accesses. This may be
useful for applications like Samba. Users can disable leases
altogether via the fs.leases-enable sysctl if needed.
VFS changes:
- Dedicated Type for Delegations
Introduce struct delegated_inode to track inodes that may have
delegations that need to be broken. This replaces the previous
approach of passing raw inode pointers through the delegation
breaking code paths, providing better type safety and clearer
semantics for the delegation machinery.
- Break parent directory delegations in open(..., O_CREAT) codepath
- Allow mkdir to wait for delegation break on parent
- Allow rmdir to wait for delegation break on parent
- Add try_break_deleg calls for parents to vfs_link(), vfs_rename(),
and vfs_unlink()
- Make vfs_create(), vfs_mknod(), and vfs_symlink() break delegations
on parent directory
- Clean up argument list for vfs_create()
- Expose delegation support to userland
Filelock changes:
- Make lease_alloc() take a flags argument
- Rework the __break_lease API to use flags
- Add struct delegated_inode
- Push the S_ISREG check down to ->setlease handlers
- Lift the ban on directory leases in generic_setlease

To capture TX packets during a test, we are currently intercepting the
dst->output with an implementation that adds the transmitted packet to
a skb queue attached to the test-specific mock dst. The netdev itself is
not involved in the test TX path.
Instead, we can just use our test device to stash TXed packets for later
inspection by the test. This means we can include the actual
mctp_dst_output() implementation in the test (by setting dst.output in
the test case), and don't need to be creating fake dst objects, or their
corresponding skb queues.
We need to ensure that the netdev is up to allow delivery to
ndo_start_xmit, but the tests assume active devices at present anyway.

Pull cred guard updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains substantial credential infrastructure improvements
adding guard-based credential management that simplifies code and
eliminates manual reference counting in many subsystems.
Features:
- Kernel Credential Guards
Add with_kernel_creds() and scoped_with_kernel_creds() guards that
allow using the kernel credentials without allocating and copying
them. This was requested by Linus after seeing repeated
prepare_kernel_creds() calls that duplicate the kernel credentials
only to drop them again later.
The new guards completely avoid the allocation and never expose the
temporary variable to hold the kernel credentials anywhere in
callers.
- Generic Credential Guards
Add scoped_with_creds() guards for the common override_creds() and
revert_creds() pattern. This builds on earlier work that made
override_creds()/revert_creds() completely reference count free.
- Prepare Credential Guards
Add prepare credential guards for the more complex pattern of
preparing a new set of credentials and overriding the current
credentials with them:
- prepare_creds()
- modify new creds
- override_creds()
- revert_creds()
- put_cred()

Pull namespace updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains substantial namespace infrastructure changes including a new
system call, active reference counting, and extensive header cleanups.
The branch depends on the shared kbuild branch for -fms-extensions support.
Features:
- listns() system call
Add a new listns() system call that allows userspace to iterate
through namespaces in the system. This provides a programmatic
interface to discover and inspect namespaces, addressing
longstanding limitations:
Currently, there is no direct way for userspace to enumerate
namespaces. Applications must resort to scanning /proc/*/ns/ across
all processes, which is:
- Inefficient - requires iterating over all processes
- Incomplete - misses namespaces not attached to any running
process but kept alive by file descriptors, bind mounts, or
parent references
- Permission-heavy - requires access to /proc for many processes
- No ordering or ownership information
- No filtering per namespace type
The listns() system call solves these problems:
ssize_t listns(const struct ns_id_req *req, u64 *ns_ids,
size_t nr_ns_ids, unsigned int flags);
struct ns_id_req {
__u32 size;
__u32 spare;
__u64 ns_id;
struct /* listns */ {
__u32 ns_type;
__u32 spare2;
__u64 user_ns_id;
};
};
Features include:
- Pagination support for large namespace sets
- Filtering by namespace type (MNT_NS, NET_NS, USER_NS, etc.)
- Filtering by owning user namespace
- Permission checks respecting namespace isolation
- Active Reference Counting
Introduce an active reference count that tracks namespace
visibility to userspace. A namespace is visible in the following
cases:
- The namespace is in use by a task
- The namespace is persisted through a VFS object (namespace file
descriptor or bind-mount)
- The namespace is a hierarchical type and is the parent of child
namespaces
The active reference count does not regulate lifetime (that's still
done by the normal reference count) - it only regulates visibility
to namespace file handles and listns().
This prevents resurrection of namespaces that are pinned only for
internal kernel reasons (e.g., user namespaces held by
file->f_cred, lazy TLB references on idle CPUs, etc.) which should
not be accessible via (1)-(3).
- Unified Namespace Tree
Introduce a unified tree structure for all namespaces with:
- Fixed IDs assigned to initial namespaces
- Lookup based solely on inode number
- Maintained list of owned namespaces per user namespace
- Simplified rbtree comparison helpers
Cleanups
- Header Reorganization:
- Move namespace types into separate header (ns_common_types.h)
- Decouple nstree from ns_common header
- Move nstree types into separate header
- Switch to new ns_tree_{node,root} structures with helper functions
- Use guards for ns_tree_lock
- Initial Namespace Reference Count Optimization
- Make all reference counts on initial namespaces a nop to avoid
pointless cacheline ping-pong for namespaces that can never go
away
- Drop custom reference count initialization for initial namespaces
- Add NS_COMMON_INIT() macro and use it for all namespaces
- pid: rely on common reference count behavior
- Miscellaneous Cleanups
- Rename exit_task_namespaces() to exit_nsproxy_namespaces()
- Rename is_initial_namespace() and make argument const
- Use boolean to indicate anonymous mount namespace
- Simplify owner list iteration in nstree
- nsfs: raise SB_I_NODEV, SB_I_NOEXEC, and DCACHE_DONTCACHE explicitly
- nsfs: use inode_just_drop()
- pidfs: raise DCACHE_DONTCACHE explicitly
- pidfs: simplify PIDFD_GET__NAMESPACE ioctls
- libfs: allow to specify s_d_flags
- cgroup: add cgroup namespace to tree after owner is set
- nsproxy: fix free_nsproxy() and simplify create_new_namespaces()
Fixes:
- setns(pidfd, ...) race condition
Fix a subtle race when using pidfds with setns(). When the target
task exits after prepare_nsset() but before commit_nsset(), the
namespace's active reference count might have been dropped. If
setns() then installs the namespaces, it would bump the active
reference count from zero without taking the required reference on
the owner namespace, leading to underflow when later decremented.
The fix resurrects the ownership chain if necessary - if the caller
succeeded in grabbing passive references, the setns() should
succeed even if the target task exits or gets reaped.
- Return EFAULT on put_user() error instead of success
- Make sure references are dropped outside of RCU lock (some
namespaces like mount namespace sleep when putting the last
reference)
- Don't skip active reference count initialization for network
namespace
- Add asserts for active refcount underflow
- Add asserts for initial namespace reference counts (both passive
and active)
- ipc: enable is_ns_init_id() assertions
- Fix kernel-doc comments for internal nstree functions
- Selftests
- 15 active reference count tests

strncpy() is deprecated [1] for NUL-terminated destination buffers
because it does not guarantee NUL termination. Replace it with strscpy()
to ensure the destination buffer is always NUL-terminated and to avoid
any additional NUL padding.
Although the identifier buffer has 252 usable bytes, strncpy() copied
only up to 251 bytes to the zero-initialized buffer, relying on the last
byte to act as an implicit NUL terminator. Switching to strscpy() avoids
this implicit behavior and does not use magic numbers.
The source string is also NUL-terminated and satisfies the
__must_be_cstr() requirement of strscpy().

Prevent a kernel warning when netconsole setup fails on devices with
IFF_DISABLE_NETPOLL flag. The warning (at kernel/workqueue.c:4242 in
__flush_work) occurs because the cleanup path tries to cancel an
uninitialized work queue.
When __netpoll_setup() encounters a device with IFF_DISABLE_NETPOLL,
it fails early and calls skb_pool_flush() for cleanup. This function
calls cancel_work_sync(&np->refill_wq), but refill_wq hasn't been
initialized yet, triggering the warning.
Move INIT_WORK() to the beginning of __netpoll_setup(), ensuring the
work queue is properly initialized before any potential failure points.
This allows the cleanup path to safely cancel the work queue regardless
of where the setup fails.

====================
Netfilter updates for net-next
The following batch contains Netfilter updates for net-next:
0) Add sanity check for maximum encapsulations in bridge vlan,
reported by the new AI robot.
1) Move the flowtable path discovery code to its own file, the
nft_flow_offload.c mixes the nf_tables evaluation with the path
discovery logic, just split this in two for clarity.
2) Consolidate flowtable xmit path by using dev_queue_xmit() and the
real device behind the layer 2 vlan/pppoe device. This allows to
inline encapsulation. After this update, hw_ifidx can be removed
since both ifidx and hw_ifidx now point to the same device.
3) Support for IPIP encapsulation in the flowtable, extend selftest
to cover for this new layer 3 offload, from Lorenzo Bianconi.
4) Push down the skb into the conncount API to fix duplicates in the
conncount list for packets with non-confirmed conntrack entries,
this is due to an optimization introduced in d265929930
("netfilter: nf_conncount: reduce unnecessary GC").
From Fernando Fernandez Mancera.
5) In conncount, disable BH when performing garbage collection
to consolidate existing behaviour in the conncount API, also
from Fernando.
6) A matching packet with a confirmed conntrack invokes GC if
conncount reaches the limit in an attempt to release slots.
This allows the existing extensions to be used for real conntrack
counting, not just limiting new connections, from Fernando.
7) Support for updating ct count objects in nf_tables, from Fernando.
8) Extend nft_flowtables.sh selftest to send IPv6 TCP traffic,
from Lorenzo Bianconi.
9) Fixes for UAPI kernel-doc documentation, from Randy Dunlap.

The "xrs700x" is the original DSA tagging protocol with HSR TX
replication support, we now essentially move that logic to the
dsa_xmit_port_mask() helper. The end result is something akin to
hellcreek_xmit() (but reminds me I should also take care of
skb_checksum_help() for tail taggers in the core).
The implementation differences to dsa_xmit_port_mask() are immaterial.

The "ocelot" and "seville" tagging protocols populate a bit mask for the
TX ports, so we can use dsa_xmit_port_mask() to centralize the decision
of how to set that field.
This protocol used BIT_ULL() rather than simple BIT() to silence Smatch,
as explained in commit 1f778d500d ("net: mscc: ocelot: avoid type
promotion when calling ocelot_ifh_set_dest"). I would expect that this
tool no longer complains now, when the BIT(dp->index) is hidden inside
the dsa_xmit_port_mask() function, the return value of which is promoted
to u64.
