Merge tag 'net-5.16-rc7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net
Pull networking fixes from Jakub Kicinski:
"Including fixes from netfilter.
Current release - regressions:
- revert "tipc: use consistent GFP flags"
Previous releases - regressions:
- igb: fix deadlock caused by taking RTNL in runtime resume path
- accept UFOv6 packages in virtio_net_hdr_to_skb
- netfilter: fix regression in looped (broad|multi)cast's MAC
handling
- bridge: fix ioctl old_deviceless bridge argument
- ice: xsk: do not clear status_error0 for ntu + nb_buffs descriptor,
avoid stalls when multiple sockets use an interface
Previous releases - always broken:
- inet: fully convert sk->sk_rx_dst to RCU rules
- veth: ensure skb entering GRO are not cloned
- sched: fix zone matching for invalid conntrack state
- bonding: fix ad_actor_system option setting to default
- nf_tables: fix use-after-free in nft_set_catchall_destroy()
- lantiq_xrx200: increase buffer reservation to avoid mem corruption
- ice: xsk: avoid leaking app buffers during clean up
- tun: avoid double free in tun_free_netdev"
