<title>Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument</title>

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\&lt;k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

<title>treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types</title>

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

The pfkey user configuration interface was replaced by the netlink
user configuration interface more than a decade ago. In between
all maintained IKE implementations moved to the netlink interface.
So let config NET_KEY default to no in Kconfig. The pfkey code
will be removed in a second step.

This reverts commit f75a2804da391571563c4b6b29e7797787332673.

With all states (whether user or kern) removed from the hashtables
during deletion, there's no need for synchronous destruction of
states. xfrm6_tunnel states still need to have been destroyed (which
will be the case when its last user is deleted (not destroyed)) so
that xfrm6_tunnel_free_spi removes it from the per-netns hashtable
before the netns is destroyed.

This has the benefit of skipping one synchronize_rcu per state (in
__xfrm_state_destroy(sync=true)) when we exit a netns.

<content type='text'>
Difference between sock_i_uid() and sk_uid() is that
after sock_orphan(), sock_i_uid() returns GLOBAL_ROOT_UID
while sk_uid() returns the last cached sk-&gt;sk_uid value.

None of sock_i_uid() callers care about this.

Use sk_uid() which is much faster and inlined.

Note that diag/dump users are calling sock_i_ino() and
can not see the full benefit yet.

<title>xfrm: Migrate offload configuration</title>

<content type='text'>
Add hardware offload configuration to XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE
using an option netlink attribute XFRMA_OFFLOAD_DEV.

In the existing xfrm_state_migrate(), the xfrm_init_state()
is called assuming no hardware offload by default. Even the
original xfrm_state is configured with offload, the setting will
be reset. If the device is configured with hardware offload,
it's reasonable to allow the device to maintain its hardware
offload mode. But the device will end up with offload disabled
after receiving a migration event when the device migrates the
connection from one netdev to another one.

The devices that support migration may work with different
underlying networks, such as mobile devices. The hardware setting
should be forwarded to the different netdev based on the
migration configuration. This change provides the capability
for user space to migrate from one netdev to another.

Test: Tested with kernel test in the Android tree located
      in https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/tests/
      The xfrm_tunnel_test.py under the tests folder in
      particular.

Currently all flows for a certain SA must be processed by the same
cpu to avoid packet reordering and lock contention of the xfrm
state lock.

To get rid of this limitation, the IETF standardized per cpu SAs
in RFC 9611. This patch implements the xfrm part of it.

We add the cpu as a lookup key for xfrm states and a config option
to generate acquire messages for each cpu.

With that, we can have on each cpu a SA with identical traffic selector
so that flows can be processed in parallel on all cpus.
