Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core:

   - BPF:
      - add syscall program type and libbpf support for generating
        instructions and bindings for in-kernel BPF loaders (BPF loaders
        for BPF), this is a stepping stone for signed BPF programs
      - infrastructure to migrate TCP child sockets from one listener to
        another in the same reuseport group/map to improve flexibility
        of service hand-off/restart
      - add broadcast support to XDP redirect

   - allow bypass of the lockless qdisc to improving performance (for
     pktgen: +23% with one thread, +44% with 2 threads)

   - add a simpler version of "DO_ONCE()" which does not require jump
     labels, intended for slow-path usage

   - virtio/vsock: introduce SOCK_SEQPACKET support

   - add getsocketopt to retrieve netns cookie

   - ip: treat lowest address of a IPv4 subnet as ordinary unicast
     address allowing reclaiming of precious IPv4 addresses

   - ipv6: use prandom_u32() for ID generation

   - ip: add support for more flexible field selection for hashing
     across multi-path routes (w/ offload to mlxsw)

   - icmp: add support for extended RFC 8335 PROBE (ping)

   - seg6: add support for SRv6 End.DT46 behavior

   - mptcp:
      - DSS checksum support (RFC 8684) to detect middlebox meddling
      - support Connection-time 'C' flag
      - time stamping support

   - sctp: packetization Layer Path MTU Discovery (RFC 8899)

Move private bridge structures to dedicated headers that is accessible to

- Cleanup FDB entry.
- Create VLAN.
- Cleanup VLAN.
- Attach port to bridge.
- Detach port from bridge.

<title>net/mlx5: Bridge, support pvid and untagged vlan configurations</title>

<id>36e55079e54955a70b2c340eedd6125f794a911d</id>
<content type='text'>
Implement support for pushing vlan header into untagged packet on ingress
of port that has pvid configured and support for popping vlan on egress of
port that has the matching vlan configured as untagged. To support such
configurations packet reformat contexts of {INSERT|REMOVE}_HEADER types are
created per such vlan and saved to struct mlx5_esw_bridge_vlan which allows
all FDB entries on particular vlan to share single packet reformat
instance. When initializing FDB entries with pvid or untagged vlan type set
its mlx5_flow_act-&gt;pkt_reformat action accordingly.

Flush all flows when removing vlan from port. This is necessary because
even though software bridge removes all FDB entries before removing their
vlan, mlx5 bridge implementation deletes their corresponding flow entries
from hardware in asynchronous workqueue task, which will cause firmware
error if vlan packet reformat context is deleted before all flows that
point to it.

even though software bridge removes all FDB entries before removing their
vlan, mlx5 bridge implementation deletes their corresponding flow entries
from hardware in asynchronous workqueue task, which will cause firmware
error if vlan packet reformat context is deleted before all flows that
point to it.

Add support for FDB vlan-tagged entries. Extend ingress and egress flow
tables with flow groups to match packet vlan tag. Modify the flow creation
code to include vlan tag, if vlan is configured on port and vlan
configuration is supported for offload.

Hardware supported by mlx5 driver doesn't provide learning and requires the
driver to emulate all switch-like behavior in software. As such, all
packets by default go through miss path, appear on representor and get to
software bridge, if it is the upper device of the representor. This causes
bridge to process packet in software, learn the MAC address to FDB and send
SWITCHDEV_FDB_ADD_TO_DEVICE event to all subscribers.

In order to offload FDB entries in mlx5, register switchdev notifier
callback and implement support for both 'added_by_user' and dynamic FDB
entry SWITCHDEV_FDB_ADD_TO_DEVICE events asynchronously using new
mlx5_esw_bridge_offloads-&gt;wq ordered workqueue. In workqueue callback
offload the ingress rule (matching FDB entry MAC as packet source MAC) and
egress table rule (matching FDB entry MAC as destination MAC). For ingress
table rule also match source vport to ensure that only traffic coming from
expected bridge port is matched by offloaded rule. Save all the relevant
FDB entry data in struct mlx5_esw_bridge_fdb_entry instance and insert the
instance in new mlx5_esw_bridge-&gt;fdb_list list (for traversing all entries
by software ageing implementation in following patch) and in new
mlx5_esw_bridge-&gt;fdb_ht hash table for fast retrieval. Notify the bridge
that FDB entry has been offloaded by sending SWITCHDEV_FDB_OFFLOADED
notification.

Delete FDB entry on reception of SWITCHDEV_FDB_DEL_TO_DEVICE event.

The documentation file used to be written in markdown format but was
converted to reStructuredText (rst).

The converted file doesn't keep up with rst format requirements which
results in hard-to-read text.

This patch fixes the formatting of the file. The patch also
* Highlights and emphasizes some lines to improve readability
* Rephrases some hard-to-understand text
* Updates outdated function descriptions.
* Removes TSO description which falsely claims the driver supports it
