Pull networking fixes from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Including fixes from bluetooth, WiFi and netfilter.

  We have one outstanding issue with the stmmac driver, which may be a
  LOCKDEP false positive, not a blocker.

  Current release - regressions:

   - netfilter: nf_tables: re-allow NFPROTO_INET in
     nft_(match/target)_validate()

   - eth: ionic: fix error handling in PCI reset code

  Current release - new code bugs:

   - eth: stmmac: complete meta data only when enabled, fix null-deref

   - kunit: fix again checksum tests on big endian CPUs

  Previous releases - regressions:

   - veth: try harder when allocating queue memory

   - Bluetooth:
      - hci_bcm4377: do not mark valid bd_addr as invalid
      - hci_event: fix handling of HCI_EV_IO_CAPA_REQUEST

  Previous releases - always broken:

   - info leak in __skb_datagram_iter() on netlink socket

   - mptcp:
      - map v4 address to v6 when destroying subflow
      - fix potential wake-up event loss due to sndbuf auto-tuning
      - fix double-free on socket dismantle

   - wifi: nl80211: reject iftype change with mesh ID change

   - fix small out-of-bound read when validating netlink be16/32 types

   - rtnetlink: fix error logic of IFLA_BRIDGE_FLAGS writing back

   - ipv6: fix potential "struct net" ref-leak in inet6_rtm_getaddr()

   - ip_tunnel: prevent perpetual headroom growth with huge number of
     tunnels on top of each other

   - mctp: fix skb leaks on error paths of mctp_local_output()

   - eth: ice: fixes for DPLL state reporting

   - dpll: rely on rcu for netdev_dpll_pin() to prevent UaF

   - eth: dpaa: accept phy-interface-type = '10gbase-r' in the device
     tree"

  tls: fix use-after-free on failed backlog decryption
  tls: separate no-async decryption request handling from async
  tls: fix peeking with sync+async decryption

Akira Yokosawa reported [1] that the "translations" extension we added in
commit 7418ec5b151f ("docs: translations: add translations links when they
exist") broke the build on Sphinx versions v6.1.3 through 7.1.2 (possibly
others) with the following error:

    Exception occurred:
      File "/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/sphinx/util/nodes.py", line 624, in _copy_except__document
        newnode = self.__class__(rawsource=self.rawsource, **self.attributes)
                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    TypeError: LanguagesNode.__init__() missing 1 required positional argument: 'current_language'
    The full traceback has been saved in /tmp/sphinx-err-7xmwytuu.log, if you want to report the issue to the developers.

Solve this problem by making 'current_language' a true element attribute
of the LanguagesNode element, which is probably the more correct way to do
it anyway.

Tested on Sphinx 2.x, 3.x, 6.x, and 7.x.

<title>docs: Instruct LaTeX to cope with deeper nesting</title>

<id>0df8669f69a8638f04c6a3d1f3b7056c2c18f62c</id>
<content type='text'>
The addition of the XFS online fsck documentation starting with
commit a8f6c2e54ddc ("xfs: document the motivation for online fsck design")
added a deeper level of nesting than LaTeX is prepared to deal with.  That
caused a pdfdocs build failure with the helpful "Too deeply nested" error
message buried deeply in Documentation/output/filesystems.log.

Increase the "maxlistdepth" parameter to instruct LaTeX that it needs to
deal with the deeper nesting whether it wants to or not.

Netronome graciously transferred the original NIPA repo
to our new netdev umbrella org. Link to that instead of
my private fork.

<title>x86/bugs: Use ALTERNATIVE() instead of mds_user_clear static key</title>

<content type='text'>
The VERW mitigation at exit-to-user is enabled via a static branch
mds_user_clear. This static branch is never toggled after boot, and can
be safely replaced with an ALTERNATIVE() which is convenient to use in
asm.

Switch to ALTERNATIVE() to use the VERW mitigation late in exit-to-user
path. Also remove the now redundant VERW in exc_nmi() and
arch_exit_to_user_mode().
