Pull networking fixes from Jakub Kicinski:
"Networking fixes, including fixes from mac80211, wifi, bpf.
Relatively large batches of fixes from BPF and the WiFi stack, calm in
general networking.
Current release - regressions:
- dpaa2-eth: fix buffer overrun when reporting ethtool statistics
Current release - new code bugs:
- bpf: fix incorrect state pruning for <8B spill/fill
- iavf:
- add missing unlocks in iavf_watchdog_task()
- do not override the adapter state in the watchdog task (again)
- mlxsw: spectrum_router: consolidate MAC profiles when possible
Previous releases - regressions:
- mac80211 fixes:
- rate control, avoid driver crash for retransmitted frames
- regression in SSN handling of addba tx
- a memory leak where sta_info is not freed
- marking TX-during-stop for TX in in_reconfig, prevent stall
- cfg80211: acquire wiphy mutex on regulatory work
- wifi drivers: fix build regressions and LED config dependency
- virtio_net: fix rx_drops stat for small pkts
- dsa: mv88e6xxx: unforce speed & duplex in mac_link_down()
Previous releases - always broken:
- bpf fixes:
- kernel address leakage in atomic fetch
- kernel address leakage in atomic cmpxchg's r0 aux reg
- signed bounds propagation after mov32
- extable fixup offset
- extable address check
- mac80211:
- fix the size used for building probe request
- send ADDBA requests using the tid/queue of the aggregation
session
- agg-tx: don't schedule_and_wake_txq() under sta->lock, avoid
deadlocks
- validate extended element ID is present
- mptcp:
- never allow the PM to close a listener subflow (null-defer)
- clear 'kern' flag from fallback sockets, prevent crash
- fix deadlock in __mptcp_push_pending()
- inet_diag: fix kernel-infoleak for UDP sockets
- xsk: do not sleep in poll() when need_wakeup set
- smc: avoid very long waits in smc_release()
- sch_ets: don't remove idle classes from the round-robin list
- netdevsim:
- zero-initialize memory for bpf map's value, prevent info leak
- don't let user space overwrite read only (max) ethtool parms
- ixgbe: set X550 MDIO speed before talking to PHY
- stmmac:
- fix null-deref in flower deletion w/ VLAN prio Rx steering
- dwmac-rk: fix oob read in rk_gmac_setup
- ice: time stamping fixes
- systemport: add global locking for descriptor life cycle"
