Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core:

   - bpf:
        - allow bpf programs calling kernel functions (initially to
          reuse TCP congestion control implementations)
        - enable task local storage for tracing programs - remove the
          need to store per-task state in hash maps, and allow tracing
          programs access to task local storage previously added for
          BPF_LSM
        - add bpf_for_each_map_elem() helper, allowing programs to walk
          all map elements in a more robust and easier to verify fashion
        - sockmap: support UDP and cross-protocol BPF_SK_SKB_VERDICT
          redirection
        - lpm: add support for batched ops in LPM trie
        - add BTF_KIND_FLOAT support - mostly to allow use of BTF on
          s390 which has floats in its headers files
        - improve BPF syscall documentation and extend the use of kdoc
          parsing scripts we already employ for bpf-helpers
        - libbpf, bpftool: support static linking of BPF ELF files
        - improve support for encapsulation of L2 packets

   - xdp: restructure redirect actions to avoid a runtime lookup,
     improving performance by 4-8% in microbenchmarks

   - xsk: build skb by page (aka generic zerocopy xmit) - improve
     performance of software AF_XDP path by 33% for devices which don't
     need headers in the linear skb part (e.g. virtio)

   - nexthop: resilient next-hop groups - improve path stability on
     next-hops group changes (incl. offload for mlxsw)

   - ipv6: segment routing: add support for IPv4 decapsulation

   - icmp: add support for RFC 8335 extended PROBE messages

   - inet: use bigger hash table for IP ID generation

   - tcp: deal better with delayed TX completions - make sure we don't
     give up on fast TCP retransmissions only because driver is slow in
     reporting that it completed transmitting the original

   - tcp: reorder tcp_congestion_ops for better cache locality

   - mptcp:
        - add sockopt support for common TCP options
        - add support for common TCP msg flags
        - include multiple address ids in RM_ADDR
        - add reset option support for resetting one subflow

   - udp: GRO L4 improvements - improve 'forward' / 'frag_list'
     co-existence with UDP tunnel GRO, allowing the first to take place
     correctly even for encapsulated UDP traffic

   - micro-optimize dev_gro_receive() and flow dissection, avoid
     retpoline overhead on VLAN and TEB GRO

   - use less memory for sysctls, add a new sysctl type, to allow using
     u8 instead of "int" and "long" and shrink networking sysctls

   - veth: allow GRO without XDP - this allows aggregating UDP packets
     before handing them off to routing, bridge, OvS, etc.

   - allow specifing ifindex when device is moved to another namespace

   - netfilter:
        - nft_socket: add support for cgroupsv2
        - nftables: add catch-all set element - special element used to
          define a default action in case normal lookup missed
        - use net_generic infra in many modules to avoid allocating
          per-ns memory unnecessarily

   - xps: improve the xps handling to avoid potential out-of-bound
     accesses and use-after-free when XPS change race with other
     re-configuration under traffic

   - add a config knob to turn off per-cpu netdev refcnt to catch
     underflows in testing

  Device APIs:

   - add WWAN subsystem to organize the WWAN interfaces better and
     hopefully start driving towards more unified and vendor-
     independent APIs

   - ethtool:
        - add interface for reading IEEE MIB stats (incl. mlx5 and bnxt
          support)
        - allow network drivers to dump arbitrary SFP EEPROM data,
          current offset+length API was a poor fit for modern SFP which
          define EEPROM in terms of pages (incl. mlx5 support)

   - act_police, flow_offload: add support for packet-per-second
     policing (incl. offload for nfp)

   - psample: add additional metadata attributes like transit delay for
     packets sampled from switch HW (and corresponding egress and
     policy-based sampling in the mlxsw driver)

   - dsa: improve support for sandwiched LAGs with bridge and DSA

   - netfilter:
        - flowtable: use direct xmit in topologies with IP forwarding,
          bridging, vlans etc.
        - nftables: counter hardware offload support

   - Bluetooth:
        - improvements for firmware download w/ Intel devices
        - add support for reading AOSP vendor capabilities
        - add support for virtio transport driver

   - mac80211:
        - allow concurrent monitor iface and ethernet rx decap
        - set priority and queue mapping for injected frames

   - phy: add support for Clause-45 PHY Loopback

   - pci/iov: add sysfs MSI-X vector assignment interface to distribute
     MSI-X resources to VFs (incl. mlx5 support)

  New hardware/drivers:

   - dsa: mv88e6xxx: add support for Marvell mv88e6393x - 11-port
     Ethernet switch with 8x 1-Gigabit Ethernet and 3x 10-Gigabit
     interfaces.

   - dsa: support for legacy Broadcom tags used on BCM5325, BCM5365 and
     BCM63xx switches

   - Microchip KSZ8863 and KSZ8873; 3x 10/100Mbps Ethernet switches

   - ath11k: support for QCN9074 a 802.11ax device

   - Bluetooth: Broadcom BCM4330 and BMC4334

   - virtio:
        - page_to_skb() use build_skb when there's sufficient tailroom
          (21% improvement for 1000B UDP frames)
        - support XDP even without dedicated Tx queues - share the Tx
          queues with the stack when necessary

   - mlx5:
        - flow rules: add support for mirroring with conntrack, matching
          on ICMP, GTP, flex filters and more
        - support packet sampling with flow offloads
        - persist uplink representor netdev across eswitch mode changes
        - allow coexistence of CQE compression and HW time-stamping
        - add ethtool extended link error state reporting

First, it is never checked. Second, use of it as a debugging aid is
at least questionable. With the current tools, I don't think anyone used
this kind of thing for debugging purposes for years.

On the top of that, e.g. serdev does not set this field of tty_ldisc_ops
at all.

So get rid of this legacy.

Pull tty/serial driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of tty/serial driver changes for 5.12-rc1.

Fixes both the "splice/sendfile to a tty" and "splice/sendfile from a
tty" regression from 5.10.

* 'tty-splice' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux:
  tty: teach the n_tty ICANON case about the new "cookie continuations" too
  tty: teach n_tty line discipline about the new "cookie continuations"
  tty: clean up legacy leftovers from n_tty line discipline
  tty: implement read_iter
  tty: convert tty_ldisc_ops 'read()' function to take a kernel pointer
  tty: implement write_iter

The tty line discipline .read() function was passed the final user
pointer destination as an argument, which doesn't match the 'write()'
function, and makes it very inconvenient to do a splice method for
ttys.

This is a conversion to use a kernel buffer instead.

NOTE! It does this by passing the tty line discipline -&gt;read() function
an additional "cookie" to fill in, and an offset into the cookie data.

The line discipline can fill in the cookie data with its own private
information, and then the reader will repeat the read until either the
cookie is cleared or it runs out of data.

The only real user of this is N_HDLC, which can use this to handle big
packets, even if the kernel buffer is smaller than the whole packet.
