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

          (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

The comedi code came into the kernel back in 2008, but traces its
lifetime to much much earlier.  It's been polished and buffed and
there's really nothing preventing it from being part of the "real"
portion of the kernel.

So move it to drivers/comedi/ as it belongs there.

Many thanks to the hundreds of developers who did the work to make this
happen.

<content type='text'>
As stated in f54ec58fee83 ("wimax: move out to staging"), the wimax code
is dead with no known users.  It has stayed in staging for 5 months,
with no one willing to take up the codebase for maintance and support,
so let's just remove it entirely for now.

If someone comes along and wants to revive it, a simple revert of this
patch is a good place to start.

As stated in f54ec58fee83 ("wimax: move out to staging"), the wimax code
is dead with no known users.  It has stayed in staging for 5 months,
with no one willing to take up the codebase for maintance and support,
so let's just remove it entirely for now.

If someone comes along and wants to revive it, a simple revert of this
patch is a good place to start.

As none of the proposed things that need to be changed in the gasket
drivers have ever been done, and there has not been any forward progress
to get this out of staging, it seems totally abandonded so remove the
code entirely so that people do not spend their time doing tiny cleanups
for code that will never get out of staging.

If this code is actually being used, it can be reverted simply and then
cleaned up properly, but as it is abandoned, let's just get rid of it.

<content type='text'>
Now that the dpaa2-switch driver has basic I/O capabilities on the
switch port net_devices and multiple bridging domains are supported,
move the driver out of staging.

The dpaa2-switch driver is placed right next to the dpaa2-eth driver
since, in the near future, they will be sharing most of the data path.
I didn't implement code reuse in this patch series because I wanted to
keep it as small as possible.

Also, the README is removed from staging with the intention to add
proper rst documentation afterwards to actually match was is supported
by the driver.
