Merge tag 'net-6.9-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net
Pull networking fixes from Jakub Kicinski:
"Including fixes from netfilter, bluetooth and bpf.
Fairly usual collection of driver and core fixes. The large selftest
accompanying one of the fixes is also becoming a common occurrence.
Current release - regressions:
- ipv6: fix infinite recursion in fib6_dump_done()
- net/rds: fix possible null-deref in newly added error path
Current release - new code bugs:
- net: do not consume a full cacheline for system_page_pool
- bpf: fix bpf_arena-related file descriptor leaks in the verifier
- drv: ice: fix freeing uninitialized pointers, fixing misuse of the
newfangled __free() auto-cleanup
Previous releases - regressions:
- x86/bpf: fixes the BPF JIT with retbleed=stuff
- xen-netfront: add missing skb_mark_for_recycle, fix page pool
accounting leaks, revealed by recently added explicit warning
- tcp: fix bind() regression for v6-only wildcard and v4-mapped-v6
non-wildcard addresses
- Bluetooth:
- replace "hci_qca: Set BDA quirk bit if fwnode exists in DT" with
better workarounds to un-break some buggy Qualcomm devices
- set conn encrypted before conn establishes, fix re-connecting to
some headsets which use slightly unusual sequence of msgs
- mptcp:
- prevent BPF accessing lowat from a subflow socket
- don't account accept() of non-MPC client as fallback to TCP
- drv: mana: fix Rx DMA datasize and skb_over_panic
- drv: i40e: fix VF MAC filter removal
Previous releases - always broken:
- gro: various fixes related to UDP tunnels - netns crossing
problems, incorrect checksum conversions, and incorrect packet
transformations which may lead to panics
- bpf: support deferring bpf_link dealloc to after RCU grace period
- nf_tables:
- release batch on table validation from abort path
- release mutex after nft_gc_seq_end from abort path
- flush pending destroy work before exit_net release
- drv: r8169: skip DASH fw status checks when DASH is disabled"

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +========================== +Devlink E-Switch Attribute +========================== + +Devlink E-Switch supports two modes of operation: legacy and switchdev. +Legacy mode operates based on traditional MAC/VLAN steering rules.
