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.
- Add helper to create, prepare and enable managed clocks.
Device drivers:
- Add Huawei hinic3 PF etherner driver.
- Add DWMAC glue driver for Motorcomm YT6801 PCIe ethernet
controller.
- Add ethernet driver for MaxLinear MxL862xx switches
- Remove parallel-port Ethernet driver.

`MIN_SIZE` and `io_addr_assert` are only ever used for IO types which
implement `IoKnownSize` and do not make sense for types that don't.
It looks like they should have been there since the beginning, so move
them while the code is still fresh.
Also update `IoKnownSize`'s documentation since it is not just a marker
trait anymore.

Drivers might need to access PCI config space for querying capability
structures and access the registers inside the structures.
For Rust drivers need to access PCI config space, the Rust PCI abstraction
needs to support it in a way that upholds Rust's safety principles.
Introduce a `ConfigSpace` wrapper in Rust PCI abstraction to provide safe
accessors for PCI config space. The new type implements the `Io` trait and
`IoCapable<T>` for u8, u16, and u32 to share offset validation and
bound-checking logic with other I/O backends.
The `ConfigSpace` type uses marker types (`Normal` and `Extended`) to
represent configuration space sizes at the type level.

The previous Io<SIZE> type combined both the generic I/O access helpers
and MMIO implementation details in a single struct. This coupling prevented
reusing the I/O helpers for other backends, such as PCI configuration
space.
Establish a clean separation between the I/O interface and concrete
backends by separating generic I/O helpers from MMIO implementation.
Introduce a new trait hierarchy to handle different access capabilities:
- IoCapable<T>: A marker trait indicating that a backend supports I/O
operations of a certain type (u8, u16, u32, or u64).
- Io trait: Defines fallible (try_read8, try_write8, etc.) and infallibile
(read8, write8, etc.) I/O methods with runtime bounds checking and
compile-time bounds checking.
- IoKnownSize trait: The marker trait for types support infallible I/O
methods.
Move the MMIO-specific logic into a dedicated Mmio<SIZE> type that
implements the Io traits. Rename IoRaw to MmioRaw and update consumers to
use the new types.

HIPPI has not been relevant for over two decades. It was rapidly eclipsed by Fibre Channel, and even when it was new, it was confined to very high-end hardware. The HIPPI code has only received tree-wide changes and fixes by inspection in the entire Git history. Remove HIPPI support and the rrunner HIPPI driver, and move the former maintainer to the CREDITS file. Keep the include/uapi/linux/if_hippi.h header because it is used by the TUN code, and to avoid breaking userspace, however unlikely that may be.
