Merge tag 'net-6.3-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net
Pull networking fixes from Jakub Kicinski:
"Including fixes from wireless and netfilter.
The notable fixes here are the EEE fix which restores boot for many
embedded platforms (real and QEMU); WiFi warning suppression and the
ICE Kconfig cleanup.
Current release - regressions:
- phy: multiple fixes for EEE rework
- wifi: wext: warn about usage only once
- wifi: ath11k: allow system suspend to survive ath11k
Current release - new code bugs:
- mlx5: Fix memory leak in IPsec RoCE creation
- ibmvnic: assign XPS map to correct queue index
Previous releases - regressions:
- netfilter: ip6t_rpfilter: Fix regression with VRF interfaces
- netfilter: ctnetlink: make event listener tracking global
- nf_tables: allow to fetch set elements when table has an owner
- mlx5:
- fix skb leak while fifo resync and push
- fix possible ptp queue fifo use-after-free
Previous releases - always broken:
- sched: fix action bind logic
- ptp: vclock: use mutex to fix "sleep on atomic" bug if driver also
uses a mutex
- netfilter: conntrack: fix rmmod double-free race
- netfilter: xt_length: use skb len to match in length_mt6, avoid
issues with BIG TCP
Misc:
- ice: remove unnecessary CONFIG_ICE_GNSS
- mlx5e: remove hairpin write debugfs files
- sched: act_api: move TCA_EXT_WARN_MSG to the correct hierarchy"
