Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"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.

Document the device tree bindings for the USB PHY interfaces integrated
with the DWC3 controller on Google Tensor SoCs, starting with G5
generation (Laguna). The USB PHY on Tensor G5 includes two integrated
Synopsys PHY IPs: the eUSB 2.0 PHY IP and the USB 3.2/DisplayPort combo
PHY IP.
Due to a complete architectural overhaul in the Google Tensor G5, the
existing Samsung/Exynos USB PHY binding for older generations of Google
silicons such as gs101 are no longer compatible, necessitating this new
device tree binding.

phy common properties
Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com> wrote:
Introduce "rx-polarity" and "tx-polarity" device tree properties with
Kunit tests
Differential signaling is a technique for high-speed protocols to be
more resilient to noise. At the transmit side we have a positive and a
negative signal which are mirror images of each other. At the receiver,
if we subtract the negative signal (say of amplitude -A) from the
positive signal (say +A), we recover the original single-ended signal at
twice its original amplitude. But any noise, like one coming from EMI
from outside sources, is supposed to have an almost equal impact upon
the positive (A + E, E being for "error") and negative signal (-A + E).
So (A + E) - (-A + E) eliminates this noise, and this is what makes
differential signaling useful.
Except that in order to work, there must be strict requirements observed
during PCB design and layout, like the signal traces needing to have the
same length and be physically close to each other, and many others.
Sometimes it is not easy to fulfill all these requirements, a simple
case to understand is when on chip A's pins, the positive pin is on the
left and the negative is on the right, but on the chip B's pins (with
which A tries to communicate), positive is on the right and negative on
the left. The signals would need to cross, using vias and other ugly
stuff that affects signal integrity (introduces impedance
discontinuities which cause reflections, etc).
So sometimes, board designers intentionally connect differential lanes
the wrong way, and expect somebody else to invert that signal to recover
useful data. This is where RX and TX polarity inversion comes in as a
generic concept that applies to any high-speed serial protocol as long
as it uses differential signaling.
I've stopped two attempts to introduce more vendor-specific descriptions
of this only in the past month:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-phy/20251110110536.2596490-1-horatiu.vultur@microchip.com/https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20251028000959.3kiac5kwo5pcl4ft@skbuf/
and in the kernel we already have merged:
- "st,px_rx_pol_inv"
- "st,pcie-tx-pol-inv"
- "st,sata-tx-pol-inv"
- "mediatek,pnswap"
- "airoha,pnswap-rx"
- "airoha,pnswap-tx"
and maybe more. So it is pretty general.
One additional element of complexity is introduced by the fact that for
some protocols, receivers can automatically detect and correct for an
inverted lane polarity (example: the PCIe LTSSM does this in the
Polling.Configuration state; the USB 3.1 Link Layer Test Specification
says that the detection and correction of the lane polarity inversion in
SuperSpeed operation shall be enabled in Polling.RxEQ.). Whereas for
other protocols (SGMII, SATA, 10GBase-R, etc etc), the polarity is all
manual and there is no detection mechanism mandated by their respective
standards.
So why would one even describe rx-polarity and tx-polarity for protocols
like PCIe, if it had to always be PHY_POL_AUTO?
Related question: why would we define the polarity as an array per
protocol? Isn't the physical PCB layout protocol-agnostic, and aren't we
describing the same physical reality from the lens of different protocols?
The answer to both questions is because multi-protocol PHYs exist
(supporting e.g. USB2 and USB3, or SATA and PCIe, or PCIe and Ethernet
over the same lane), one would need to manually set the polarity for
SATA/Ethernet, while leaving it at auto for PCIe/USB 3.0+.
I also investigated from another angle: what if polarity inversion in
the PHY is one layer, and then the PCIe/USB3 LTSSM polarity detection is
another layer on top? Then rx-polarity = <PHY_POL_AUTO> doesn't make
sense, it can still be rx-polarity = <PHY_POL_NORMAL> or <PHY_POL_INVERT>,
and the link training state machine figures things out on top of that.
This would radically simplify the design, as the elimination of
PHY_POL_AUTO inherently means that the need for a property array per
protocol also goes away.
I don't know how things are in the general case, but at least in the 10G
and 28G Lynx SerDes blocks from NXP Layerscape devices, this isn't the
case, and there's only a single level of RX polarity inversion: in the
SerDes lane. In the case of PCIe, the controller is in charge of driving
the RDAT_INV bit autonomously, and it is read-only to software.
So the existence of this kind of SerDes lane proves the need for
PHY_POL_AUTO to be a third state.

Rob Herring points out that "The default for .*-names is the entries
don't have to be unique.":
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-phy/20251204155219.GA1533839-robh@kernel.org/
Let's use uniqueItems: true to make sure the schema enforces this. It
doesn't make sense in this case to have duplicate properties for the
same SerDes protocol.
Note that this can only be done with the $defs + $ref pattern as
established by the previous commit. When the tx-p2p-microvolt-names
constraints were expressed directly under "properties", it would have
been validated by the string-array meta-schema, which does not support
the 'uniqueItems' keyword as can be seen below.

I would like to add more properties similar to tx-p2p-microvolt, and I
don't think it makes sense to create one schema for each such property
(transmit-amplitude.yaml, lane-polarity.yaml, transmit-equalization.yaml
etc).
Instead, let's rename to phy-common-props.yaml, which makes it a more
adequate host schema for all the above properties.

On X Elite platform, the eDP PHY uses one more clock called ref.
The current X Elite devices supported upstream work fine without this
clock, because the boot firmware leaves this clock enabled. But we should
not rely on that. Also, even though this change breaks the ABI, it is
needed in order to make the driver disables this clock along with the
other ones, for a proper bring-down of the entire PHY.
So attach the this ref clock to the PHY.

Josua Mayer requested to have OF nodes for each lane, so that he
(and other board developers) can further describe electrical parameters
individually.
For this use case, we need a container node to apply the already
existing Documentation/devicetree/bindings/phy/transmit-amplitude.yaml,
plus whatever other schemas might get standardized for TX equalization
parameters, polarity inversion etc.
When lane OF nodes exist, these are also PHY providers ("phys" phandles
can point directly to them). Compare that to the existing binding, where
the PHY provider is the top-level SerDes node, and the second cell in
the "phys" phandle specifies the lane index.
The new binding format overlaps over the old one without interfering,
but there is a caveat:
Existing device trees, which already have "phys = <&serdes1 0>" cannot
be converted to "phys = <&serdes_1_lane_a>", because in doing so, we
would break compatibility with old kernels which don't understand how to
translate the latter phandle to a PHY.
The transition to the new phandle format can be performed only after a
reasonable amount of time has elapsed after this schema change and the
corresponding driver change have been backported to stable kernels.
However, the aforementioned transition is not strictly necessary, and
the "hybrid" description (where individual lanes have their own OF node,
but are not pointed to by the "phys" phandle) can remain for an
indefinite amount of time, even if a little inelegant.
For newly introduced device trees, where there are no compatibility
concerns with old kernels to speak of, it is strongly recommended to use
the "phys = <&serdes_1_lane_a>" format. The same holds for phandles
towards lanes of LX2160A SerDes #3, which at the time of writing is not
yet described in fsl-lx2160a.dtsi, so there is no legacy to maintain.
To avoid the strange situation where we have a "phy" (SerDes node) ->
"phy" (lane node) hierarchy, let's rename the expected name of the
top-level node to "serdes", and update the example too. This has a
theoretical chance of causing regressions if bootloaders search for
hardcoded paths rather than using aliases, but to the best of my
knowledge, for LX2160A/LX2162A this is not the case.
