Merge tag 'net-6.1-rc3-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net
Pull networking fixes from Jakub Kicinski:
"Including fixes from bpf.
The net-memcg fix stands out, the rest is very run-off-the-mill. Maybe
I'm biased.
Current release - regressions:
- eth: fman: re-expose location of the MAC address to userspace,
apparently some udev scripts depended on the exact value
Current release - new code bugs:
- bpf:
- wait for busy refill_work when destroying bpf memory allocator
- allow bpf_user_ringbuf_drain() callbacks to return 1
- fix dispatcher patchable function entry to 5 bytes nop
Previous releases - regressions:
- net-memcg: avoid stalls when under memory pressure
- tcp: fix indefinite deferral of RTO with SACK reneging
- tipc: fix a null-ptr-deref in tipc_topsrv_accept
- eth: macb: specify PHY PM management done by MAC
- tcp: fix a signed-integer-overflow bug in tcp_add_backlog()
Previous releases - always broken:
- eth: amd-xgbe: SFP fixes and compatibility improvements
Misc:
- docs: netdev: offer performance feedback to contributors"
