Linux 6.2 Working More On WiFi 7, 800 Gbps Networking, Protective Load Balancing

The big batch of networking subsystem feature updates for the Linux 6.2 merge window has landed.

There is a lot of networking feature changes (as usual) this kernel cycle for Linux 6.2:

- Protective Load Balancing across switch links has been implemented in the TCP kernel code.

- The TUN network driver speed bumped from 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps.

- Preparations for 800 Gbps networking support.

- New wired hardware driver support covering the Marvell Octeon CNF95N and CCN10KB, Marvell Restera AC5X, WangXun 10 Gigabit, MotoComm YT8521, Microchip KSZ9563, Microsoft Azure Network Adapter, and Linux Automation 10Base-TIL adapter.

- New wireless driver work includes enabling MediaTek WiFi 7 802.11be devices and Realtek rtw8821cu, rtw8822bu, rtw8822cu and rtw8723du USB device support.

- New Bluetooth hardware support includes the Broadcom BCM4377/4378/4387 chipsets and Realtek RTL8852BE / RTL8723DS.

- Intel's IWLWIFI driver has enabled WiFi 7 Extremely High Throughput (EHT) PHY capabilities and 320 MHz channels support.

- The Realtek RTW89 WiFi driver now supports Wake-Over-WLAN functionality.

- Continued work around WiFi 7 enablement work, building off work laid on prior kernels.

- The IPSec code has added a new "packet offload" type to allow for complete header processing and crypto offloading.

- Bridging MAC Authentication Bypass (MAB) support.

- Support for user-defined BPF objects. This is used for ultimately allowing developers to build their own data structures like linked lists with BPF.

- Some GRO performance optimizations.
