Add support for the Enhanced Privacy Protection Key Exchange (EPPKE)
authentication protocol in non-AP STA mode, as specified in
"IEEE P802.11bi/D3.0, 12.16.9".
EPPKE is an RSNA authentication protocol that operates using
Pre-Association Security Negotiation (PASN) procedures. It consists
of three Authentication frames with transaction sequence numbers 1, 2,
and 3. The first and third from the non-AP STA and the second from the
AP STA.
Extend mac80211 to process EPPKE Authentication frames during the
authentication phase. Currently, mac80211 processes only frames with
the expected transaction number. In the case of EPPKE, process the
Authentication frame from the AP only if the transaction number matches
the expected value, which is 2.
After receiving the final Authentication frame with transaction number 3
from the non-AP STA, it indicates that both the non-AP STA and the AP
confirm there are no issues with authentication. Since this is the final
confirmation frame to send out, mark the state as authenticated in
mac80211.
For EPPKE authentication, the Multi-Link element (MLE) must be included
in the Authentication frame body by userspace in case of MLO connection.
If the MLE is not present, reject the Authentication frame.

Currently, in MLO connections, userspace constructs most of the
Authentication frame body, excluding the Multi-Link element (MLE),
which mac80211 appends later in ieee80211_send_auth(). At present,
mac80211 always adds the MLE itself, since userspace
(e.g. wpa_supplicant) does not yet include it.
However, for new authentication protocols such as Enhanced Privacy
Protection Key Exchange (EPPKE), as specified in
"IEEE P802.11bi/D3.0 section 12.16.9", the MLE must be included in
userspace so that the Message Integrity Code (MIC) can be computed
correctly over the complete frame body. Table 9-71 specifies that
the MIC is mandatory. If mac80211 appends the MLE again, the
Authentication frame becomes invalid.
Add a check in ieee80211_send_auth() to detect whether the MLE is
already present in the Authentication frame body before appending.

bnxt_en: Use a larger RSS indirection table on P5_PLUS chips
The driver currently uses a chip supported RSS indirection table size
just big enough to cover the number of RX rings. Each table with 64
entries requires one HW RSS context. The HW supported table sizes are
64, 128, 256, and 512 entries. Using the smallest table size can cause
unbalanced RSS packet distributions. For example, if the number of
rings is 48, the table size using existing logic will be 64. 32 rings
will have a weight of 1 and 16 rings will have a weight of 2 when
set to default even distribution. This represents a 100% difference in
weights between some of the rings.
Newer FW has increased the RSS indirection table resource. When the
increased resource is detected, use the largest RSS indirection table
size (512 entries) supported by the chip. Using the same example
above, the weights of the 48 rings will be either 10 or 11 when set to
default even distribution. The weight difference is only 10%.
If there are thousands of VFs, there is a possiblity that we may not
be able to allocate this larger RSS indirection table from the FW, so
we add a check to fall back to the legacy scheme.

bnxt_en: Defrag the NVRAM region when resizing UPDATE region fails
When updating to a new firmware pkg, the driver checks if the UPDATE
region is big enough for the pkg and if it's not big enough, it
issues an NVM_WRITE cmd to update with the requested size.
This NVM_WRITE cmd can fail indicating fragmented region. Currently
the driver fails the fw update when this happens. We can improve the
situation by defragmenting the region and try the NVM_WRITE cmd
again. This will make firmware update more reliable.

I wasted a couple of hours recently after accidentally adding

selftests: drv-net: psp: Better control the used PSP dev
The PSP responder fails when zero or multiple PSP devices are detected.
There's an option to select the device id to use (-d) but it's
currently not used from the PSP self test. It's also hard to use because
the PSP test doesn't dump the PSP devices so can't choose one.
When zero devices are detected, psp_responder fails which will cause the
parent test to fail as well instead of skipping PSP tests.
Fix both of these problems. Change psp_responder to:
- not fail when no PSP devs are detected.
- get an optional -i ifindex argument instead of -d.
- select the correct PSP dev from the dump corresponding to ifindex or
- select the first PSP dev when -i is not given.
- fail when multiple devs are found and -i is not given.
- warn and continue when the requested ifindex is not found.
Also plumb the ifindex from the Python test.
With these, when there are no PSP devs found or the wrong one is chosen,
psp_responder opens the server socket, listens for control connections
normally, and leaves the skipping of the various test cases which
require a PSP device (~most, but not all of them) to the parent test.
This results in output like:
ok 1 psp.test_case # SKIP No PSP devices found
[...]
ok 12 psp.dev_get_device # SKIP No PSP devices found
ok 13 psp.dev_get_device_bad
ok 14 psp.dev_rotate # SKIP No PSP devices found

net: convert drivers to .get_rx_ring_count()
Commit 84eaf4359c36 ("net: ethtool: add get_rx_ring_count callback to
optimize RX ring queries") added specific support for GRXRINGS callback,
simplifying .get_rxnfc.
Remove the handling of GRXRINGS in .get_rxnfc() by moving it to the new
.get_rx_ring_count().
This simplifies the RX ring count retrieval and aligns the following
drivers with the new ethtool API for querying RX ring parameters.
* hns3
* hns
* qede
* niu
* funeth
* enic
* hinic
* octeontx2
PS: all of these change were compile-tested only.

net/mlx5e: TSO for UDP over GRE over vlan packets
The hardware supports segmentation offload of UDP over GRE over vlan
packets, allow it by adding NETIF_F_GSO_UDP_L4 to hw_enc_features which
will make the vlan device inherit it to its own hw_enc_features.
Side note: it is quite confusing that this change wasn't needed to
offload encapsulated UDP packets regardless of vlan, but that's the way
that the stack handles gso partial features, it assumes they're
supported without caring if the feature is supported in hw_enc_features.

parent installed the TLS recvmsg with setsockopt(SOL_TLS).
