Merge tag 'net-6.0-rc4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net
Pull networking fixes from Paolo Abeni:
"Including fixes from bluetooth, bpf and wireless.
Current release - regressions:
- bpf:
- fix wrong last sg check in sk_msg_recvmsg()
- fix kernel BUG in purge_effective_progs()
- mac80211:
- fix possible leak in ieee80211_tx_control_port()
- potential NULL dereference in ieee80211_tx_control_port()
Current release - new code bugs:
- nfp: fix the access to management firmware hanging
Previous releases - regressions:
- ip: fix triggering of 'icmp redirect'
- sched: tbf: don't call qdisc_put() while holding tree lock
- bpf: fix corrupted packets for XDP_SHARED_UMEM
- bluetooth: hci_sync: fix suspend performance regression
- micrel: fix probe failure
Previous releases - always broken:
- tcp: make global challenge ack rate limitation per net-ns and
default disabled
- tg3: fix potential hang-up on system reboot
- mac802154: fix reception for no-daddr packets
Misc:
- r8152: add PID for the lenovo onelink+ dock"
