Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
 "Core & protocols:

   - A significant effort all around the stack to guide the compiler to
     make the right choice when inlining code, to avoid unneeded calls
     for small helper and stack canary overhead in the fast-path.

     This generates better and faster code with very small or no text
     size increases, as in many cases the call generated more code than
     the actual inlined helper.

   - Extend AccECN implementation so that is now functionally complete,
     also allow the user-space enabling it on a per network namespace
     basis.

   - Add support for memory providers with large (above 4K) rx buffer.
     Paired with hw-gro, larger rx buffer sizes reduce the number of
     buffers traversing the stack, dincreasing single stream CPU usage
     by up to ~30%.

   - Do not add HBH header to Big TCP GSO packets. This simplifies the
     RX path, the TX path and the NIC drivers, and is possible because
     user-space taps can now interpret correctly such packets without
     the HBH hint.

   - Allow IPv6 routes to be configured with a gateway address that is
     resolved out of a different interface than the one specified,
     aligning IPv6 to IPv4 behavior.

   - Multi-queue aware sch_cake. This makes it possible to scale the
     rate shaper of sch_cake across multiple CPUs, while still enforcing
     a single global rate on the interface.

   - Add support for the nbcon (new buffer console) infrastructure to
     netconsole, enabling lock-free, priority-based console operations
     that are safer in crash scenarios.

   - Improve the TCP ipv6 output path to cache the flow information,
     saving cpu cycles, reducing cache line misses and stack use.

   - Improve netfilter packet tracker to resolve clashes for most
     protocols, avoiding unneeded drops on rare occasions.

   - Add IP6IP6 tunneling acceleration to the flowtable infrastructure.

   - Reduce tcp socket size by one cache line.

   - Notify neighbour changes atomically, avoiding inconsistencies
     between the notification sequence and the actual states sequence.

   - Add vsock namespace support, allowing complete isolation of vsocks
     across different network namespaces.

   - Improve xsk generic performances with cache-alignment-oriented
     optimizations.

   - Support netconsole automatic target recovery, allowing netconsole
     to reestablish targets when underlying low-level interface comes
     back online.

  Driver API:

   - Support for switching the working mode (automatic vs manual) of a
     DPLL device via netlink.

   - Introduce PHY ports representation to expose multiple front-facing
     media ports over a single MAC.

   - Introduce "rx-polarity" and "tx-polarity" device tree properties,
     to generalize polarity inversion requirements for differential
     signaling.

   - Add helper to create, prepare and enable managed clocks.

  Device drivers:

   - Add Huawei hinic3 PF etherner driver.

   - Add DWMAC glue driver for Motorcomm YT6801 PCIe ethernet
     controller.

   - Add ethernet driver for MaxLinear MxL862xx switches

   - Remove parallel-port Ethernet driver.

   - Convert existing driver timestamp configuration reporting to
     hwtstamp_get and remove legacy ioctl().

   - Convert existing drivers to .get_rx_ring_count(), simplifing the RX
     ring count retrieval. Also remove the legacy fallback path.

         - use a static memory area to store headers for H/W GRO,
           leading to 12% RX tput improvement
      - Intel (100G, ice, idpf):
         - ice: reorganizes layout of Tx and Rx rings for cacheline
           locality and utilizes __cacheline_group* macros on the new
           layouts

 "It has been a relatively busy cycle in docsland, with changes all
  over:

   - Bring the kernel memory-model docs into the Sphinx build in the
     "literal include" mode.

   - Lots of build-infrastructure work, further cleaning up long-term
     kernel-doc technical debt. The sphinx-pre-install tool has been
     converted to Python and updated for current systems.

   - A new tool to detect when documents have been moved and generate
     HTML redirects; this can be used on kernel.org (or any other site
     hosting the rendered docs) to avoid breaking links.

   - Automated processing of the YAML files describing the netlink
     protocol.

   - A significant update of the maintainer's PGP guide.

  ... and a seemingly endless series of typo fixes, build-problem fixes,
  etc"
