Linus Torvalds d635a69dd4 Networking updates for 5.11
Core:
 
  - support "prefer busy polling" NAPI operation mode, where we defer softirq
    for some time expecting applications to periodically busy poll
 
  - AF_XDP: improve efficiency by more batching and hindering
            the adjacency cache prefetcher
 
  - af_packet: make packet_fanout.arr size configurable up to 64K
 
  - tcp: optimize TCP zero copy receive in presence of partial or unaligned
         reads making zero copy a performance win for much smaller messages
 
  - XDP: add bulk APIs for returning / freeing frames
 
  - sched: support fragmenting IP packets as they come out of conntrack
 
  - net: allow virtual netdevs to forward UDP L4 and fraglist GSO skbs
 
 BPF:
 
  - BPF switch from crude rlimit-based to memcg-based memory accounting
 
  - BPF type format information for kernel modules and related tracing
    enhancements
 
  - BPF implement task local storage for BPF LSM
 
  - allow the FENTRY/FEXIT/RAW_TP tracing programs to use bpf_sk_storage
 
 Protocols:
 
  - mptcp: improve multiple xmit streams support, memory accounting and
           many smaller improvements
 
  - TLS: support CHACHA20-POLY1305 cipher
 
  - seg6: add support for SRv6 End.DT4/DT6 behavior
 
  - sctp: Implement RFC 6951: UDP Encapsulation of SCTP
 
  - ppp_generic: add ability to bridge channels directly
 
  - bridge: Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) support as is defined in
            IEEE 802.1Q section 12.14.
 
 Drivers:
 
  - mlx5: make use of the new auxiliary bus to organize the driver internals
 
  - mlx5: more accurate port TX timestamping support
 
  - mlxsw:
    - improve the efficiency of offloaded next hop updates by using
      the new nexthop object API
    - support blackhole nexthops
    - support IEEE 802.1ad (Q-in-Q) bridging
 
  - rtw88: major bluetooth co-existance improvements
 
  - iwlwifi: support new 6 GHz frequency band
 
  - ath11k: Fast Initial Link Setup (FILS)
 
  - mt7915: dual band concurrent (DBDC) support
 
  - net: ipa: add basic support for IPA v4.5
 
 Refactor:
 
  - a few pieces of in_interrupt() cleanup work from Sebastian Andrzej Siewior
 
  - phy: add support for shared interrupts; get rid of multiple driver
         APIs and have the drivers write a full IRQ handler, slight growth
 	of driver code should be compensated by the simpler API which
 	also allows shared IRQs
 
  - add common code for handling netdev per-cpu counters
 
  - move TX packet re-allocation from Ethernet switch tag drivers to
    a central place
 
  - improve efficiency and rename nla_strlcpy
 
  - number of W=1 warning cleanups as we now catch those in a patchwork
    build bot
 
 Old code removal:
 
  - wan: delete the DLCI / SDLA drivers
 
  - wimax: move to staging
 
  - wifi: remove old WDS wifi bridging support
