Linus Torvalds 7e062cda7d Networking changes for 5.19.
Core
 ----
 
  - Support TCPv6 segmentation offload with super-segments larger than
    64k bytes using the IPv6 Jumbogram extension header (AKA BIG TCP).
 
  - Generalize skb freeing deferral to per-cpu lists, instead of
    per-socket lists.
 
  - Add a netdev statistic for packets dropped due to L2 address
    mismatch (rx_otherhost_dropped).
 
  - Continue work annotating skb drop reasons.
 
  - Accept alternative netdev names (ALT_IFNAME) in more netlink
    requests.
 
  - Add VLAN support for AF_PACKET SOCK_RAW GSO.
 
  - Allow receiving skb mark from the socket as a cmsg.
 
  - Enable memcg accounting for veth queues, sysctl tables and IPv6.
 
 BPF
 ---
 
  - Add libbpf support for User Statically-Defined Tracing (USDTs).
 
  - Speed up symbol resolution for kprobes multi-link attachments.
 
  - Support storing typed pointers to referenced and unreferenced
    objects in BPF maps.
 
  - Add support for BPF link iterator.
 
  - Introduce access to remote CPU map elements in BPF per-cpu map.
 
  - Allow middle-of-the-road settings for the
    kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled sysctl.
 
  - Implement basic types of dynamic pointers e.g. to allow for
    dynamically sized ringbuf reservations without extra memory copies.
 
 Protocols
 ---------
 
  - Retire port only listening_hash table, add a second bind table
    hashed by port and address. Avoid linear list walk when binding
    to very popular ports (e.g. 443).
 
  - Add bridge FDB bulk flush filtering support allowing user space
    to remove all FDB entries matching a condition.
 
  - Introduce accept_unsolicited_na sysctl for IPv6 to implement
    router-side changes for RFC9131.
 
  - Support for MPTCP path manager in user space.
 
  - Add MPTCP support for fallback to regular TCP for connections
    that have never connected additional subflows or transmitted
    out-of-sequence data (partial support for RFC8684 fallback).
 
  - Avoid races in MPTCP-level window tracking, stabilize and improve
    throughput.
 
  - Support lockless operation of GRE tunnels with seq numbers enabled.
 
  - WiFi support for host based BSS color collision detection.
 
  - Add support for SO_TXTIME/SCM_TXTIME on CAN sockets.
 
  - Support transmission w/o flow control in CAN ISOTP (ISO 15765-2).
 
  - Support zero-copy Tx with TLS 1.2 crypto offload (sendfile).
 
  - Allow matching on the number of VLAN tags via tc-flower.
 
  - Add tracepoint for tcp_set_ca_state().
 
 Driver API
 ----------
 
  - Improve error reporting from classifier and action offload.
 
  - Add support for listing line cards in switches (devlink).
 
  - Add helpers for reporting page pool statistics with ethtool -S.
 
  - Add support for reading clock cycles when using PTP virtual clocks,
    instead of having the driver convert to time before reporting.
    This makes it possible to report time from different vclocks.
 
  - Support configuring low-latency Tx descriptor push via ethtool.
 
  - Separate Clause 22 and Clause 45 MDIO accesses more explicitly.
