Core & protocols
----------------
- A significant effort all around the stack to guide the compiler to
make the right choice when inlining code, to avoid unneeded calls for
small helper and stack canary overhead in the fast-path. This
generates better and faster code with very small or no text size
increases, as in many cases the call generated more code than the
actual inlined helper.
- Extend AccECN implementation so that is now functionally complete,
also allow the user-space enabling it on a per network namespace
basis.
- Add support for memory providers with large (above 4K) rx buffer.
Paired with hw-gro, larger rx buffer sizes reduce the number of
buffers traversing the stack, dincreasing single stream CPU usage by
up to ~30%.
- Do not add HBH header to Big TCP GSO packets. This simplifies the RX
path, the TX path and the NIC drivers, and is possible because
user-space taps can now interpret correctly such packets without the
HBH hint.
- Allow IPv6 routes to be configured with a gateway address that is
resolved out of a different interface than the one specified, aligning
IPv6 to IPv4 behavior.
- Multi-queue aware sch_cake. This makes it possible to scale the rate
shaper of sch_cake across multiple CPUs, while still enforcing a
single global rate on the interface.
- Add support for the nbcon (new buffer console) infrastructure to
netconsole, enabling lock-free, priority-based console operations that
are safer in crash scenarios.
- Improve the TCP ipv6 output path to cache the flow information, saving
cpu cycles, reducing cache line misses and stack use.
- Improve netfilter packet tracker to resolve clashes for most protocols,
avoiding unneeded drops on rare occasions.
- Add IP6IP6 tunneling acceleration to the flowtable infrastructure.
- Reduce tcp socket size by one cache line.
- Notify neighbour changes atomically, avoiding inconsistencies between
the notification sequence and the actual states sequence.
- Add vsock namespace support, allowing complete isolation of vsocks
across different network namespaces.
- Improve xsk generic performances with cache-alignment-oriented
optimizations.
- Support netconsole automatic target recovery, allowing netconsole
to reestablish targets when underlying low-level interface comes back
online.
Driver API
----------
- Support for switching the working mode (automatic vs manual) of a DPLL
device via netlink.
- Introduce PHY ports representation to expose multiple front-facing
media ports over a single MAC.
- Introduce "rx-polarity" and "tx-polarity" device tree properties, to
generalize polarity inversion requirements for differential signaling.
- Add helper to create, prepare and enable managed clocks.
