Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
1) Limit xt_hashlimit hash table size to avoid OOM or hung tasks, from
Cong Wang.
2) Fix deadlock in xsk by publishing global consumer pointers when NAPI
is finished, from Magnus Karlsson.
3) Set table field properly to RT_TABLE_COMPAT when necessary, from
Jethro Beekman.
4) NLA_STRING attributes are not necessary NULL terminated, deal wiht
that in IFLA_ALT_IFNAME. From Eric Dumazet.
5) Fix checksum handling in atlantic driver, from Dmitry Bezrukov.
6) Handle mtu==0 devices properly in wireguard, from Jason A.
Donenfeld.
7) Fix several lockdep warnings in bonding, from Taehee Yoo.
8) Fix cls_flower port blocking, from Jason Baron.
9) Sanitize internal map names in libbpf, from Toke Høiland-Jørgensen.
10) Fix RDMA race in qede driver, from Michal Kalderon.
11) Fix several false lockdep warnings by adding conditions to
list_for_each_entry_rcu(), from Madhuparna Bhowmik.
12) Fix sleep in atomic in mlx5 driver, from Huy Nguyen.
13) Fix potential deadlock in bpf_map_do_batch(), from Yonghong Song.
14) Hey, variables declared in switch statement before any case
statements are not initialized. I learn something every day. Get
rids of this stuff in several parts of the networking, from Kees
Cook.
