    Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
    
     - Add redirect_neigh() BPF packet redirect helper, allowing to limit
       stack traversal in common container configs and improving TCP
       back-pressure.
    
       Daniel reports ~10Gbps => ~15Gbps single stream TCP performance gain.
    
     - Expand netlink policy support and improve policy export to user
       space. (Ge)netlink core performs request validation according to
       declared policies. Expand the expressiveness of those policies
       (min/max length and bitmasks). Allow dumping policies for particular
       commands. This is used for feature discovery by user space (instead
       of kernel version parsing or trial and error).
    
     - Support IGMPv3/MLDv2 multicast listener discovery protocols in
       bridge.
    
     - Allow more than 255 IPv4 multicast interfaces.
    
     - Add support for Type of Service (ToS) reflection in SYN/SYN-ACK
       packets of TCPv6.
    
     - In Multi-patch TCP (MPTCP) support concurrent transmission of data on
       multiple subflows in a load balancing scenario. Enhance advertising
       addresses via the RM_ADDR/ADD_ADDR options.
    
     - Support SMC-Dv2 version of SMC, which enables multi-subnet
       deployments.
    
     - Allow more calls to same peer in RxRPC.
    
     - Support two new Controller Area Network (CAN) protocols - CAN-FD and
       ISO 15765-2:2016.
    
     - Add xfrm/IPsec compat layer, solving the 32bit user space on 64bit
       kernel problem.
    
     - Add TC actions for implementing MPLS L2 VPNs.
    
     - Improve nexthop code - e.g. handle various corner cases when nexthop
       objects are removed from groups better, skip unnecessary
       notifications and make it easier to offload nexthops into HW by
       converting to a blocking notifier.
    
     - Support adding and consuming TCP header options by BPF programs,
       opening the doors for easy experimental and deployment-specific TCP
       option use.
    
     - Reorganize TCP congestion control (CC) initialization to simplify
       life of TCP CC implemented in BPF.
    
     - Add support for shipping BPF programs with the kernel and loading
       them early on boot via the User Mode Driver mechanism, hence reusing
       all the user space infra we have.
    
     - Support sleepable BPF programs, initially targeting LSM and tracing.
    
     - Add bpf_d_path() helper for returning full path for given 'struct
       path'.
    
     - Make bpf_tail_call compatible with bpf-to-bpf calls.
    
     - Allow BPF programs to call map_update_elem on sockmaps.
    
     - Add BPF Type Format (BTF) support for type and enum discovery, as
       well as support for using BTF within the kernel itself (current use
       is for pretty printing structures).
    
     - Support listing and getting information about bpf_links via the bpf
       syscall.
    
     - Enhance kernel interfaces around NIC firmware update. Allow
       specifying overwrite mask to control if settings etc. are reset
       during update; report expected max time operation may take to users;
       support firmware activation without machine reboot incl. limits of
       how much impact reset may have (e.g. dropping link or not).
    
     - Extend ethtool configuration interface to report IEEE-standard
       counters, to limit the need for per-vendor logic in user space.
    
     - Adopt or extend devlink use for debug, monitoring, fw update in many
       drivers (dsa loop, ice, ionic, sja1105, qed, mlxsw, mv88e6xxx,
       dpaa2-eth).
    
     - In mlxsw expose critical and emergency SFP module temperature alarms.
       Refactor port buffer handling to make the defaults more suitable and
       support setting these values explicitly via the DCBNL interface.
    
     - Add XDP support for Intel's igb driver.
    
     - Support offloading TC flower classification and filtering rules to
       mscc_ocelot switches.
    
     - Add PTP support for Marvell Octeontx2 and PP2.2 hardware, as well as
       fixed interval period pulse generator and one-step timestamping in
       dpaa-eth.
    
     - Add support for various auth offloads in WiFi APs, e.g. SAE (WPA3)
       offload.
    
     - Add Lynx PHY/PCS MDIO module, and convert various drivers which have
       this HW to use it. Convert mvpp2 to split PCS.
    
     - Support Marvell Prestera 98DX3255 24-port switch ASICs, as well as
       7-port Mediatek MT7531 IP.
    
     - Add initial support for QCA6390 and IPQ6018 in ath11k WiFi driver,
       and wcn3680 support in wcn36xx.
    
     - Improve performance for packets which don't require much offloads on
       recent Mellanox NICs by 20% by making multiple packets share a
       descriptor entry.
    
     - Move chelsio inline crypto drivers (for TLS and IPsec) from the
       crypto subtree to drivers/net. Move MDIO drivers out of the phy
       directory.
    
     - Clean up a lot of W=1 warnings, reportedly the actively developed
       subsections of networking drivers should now build W=1 warning free.
    
     - Make sure drivers don't use in_interrupt() to dynamically adapt their
       code. Convert tasklets to use new tasklet_setup API (sadly this
       conversion is not yet complete).
