Pull networking updates from David Miller:
 "Highlights:

   - Gustavo A. R. Silva keeps working on the implicit switch fallthru
     changes.

   - Support 802.11ax High-Efficiency wireless in cfg80211 et al, From
     Luca Coelho.

   - Re-enable ASPM in r8169, from Kai-Heng Feng.

   - Add virtual XFRM interfaces, which avoids all of the limitations of
     existing IPSEC tunnels. From Steffen Klassert.

   - Convert GRO over to use a hash table, so that when we have many
     flows active we don't traverse a long list during accumluation.

   - Many new self tests for routing, TC, tunnels, etc. Too many
     contributors to mention them all, but I'm really happy to keep
     seeing this stuff.

   - Hardware timestamping support for dpaa_eth/fsl-fman from Yangbo Lu.

   - Lots of cleanups and fixes in L2TP code from Guillaume Nault.

   - Add IPSEC offload support to netdevsim, from Shannon Nelson.

   - Add support for slotting with non-uniform distribution to netem
     packet scheduler, from Yousuk Seung.

   - Add UDP GSO support to mlx5e, from Boris Pismenny.

   - Support offloading of Team LAG in NFP, from John Hurley.

   - Allow to configure TX queue selection based upon RX queue, from
     Amritha Nambiar.

     Mikaev.

   - Support DSCP and flowlabel per-transport in SCTP, from Xin Long.

   - Support list based batching and stack traversal of SKBs, this is
     very exciting work. From Edward Cree.

   - Busyloop optimizations in vhost_net, from Toshiaki Makita.

   - Introduce the ETF qdisc, which allows time based transmissions. IGB
     can offload this in hardware. From Vinicius Costa Gomes.

   - Add parameter support to devlink, from Moshe Shemesh.

   - Several multiplication and division optimizations for BPF JIT in
     nfp driver, from Jiong Wang.

   - Lots of prepatory work to make more of the packet scheduler layer
     lockless, when possible, from Vlad Buslov.

   - Add ACK filter and NAT awareness to sch_cake packet scheduler, from
     Toke Høiland-Jørgensen.

   - Support regions and region snapshots in devlink, from Alex Vesker.

req-&gt;sdiag_family is a user-controlled value that's used as an array
index. Sanitize it after the bounds check to avoid speculative
out-of-bounds array access.

This also protects the sock_is_registered() call, so this removes the
sanitize call there.

Pull vfs open-related updates from Al Viro:

 - "do we need fput() or put_filp()" rules are gone - it's always fput()
   now. We keep track of that state where it belongs - in -&gt;f_mode.

 - int *opened mess killed - in finish_open(), in -&gt;atomic_open()
   instances and in fs/namei.c code around do_last()/lookup_open()/atomic_open().

 - alloc_file() wrappers with saner calling conventions are introduced
   (alloc_file_clone() and alloc_file_pseudo()); callers converted, with
   much simplification.

 - while we are at it, saner calling conventions for path_init() and
   link_path_walk(), simplifying things inside fs/namei.c (both on
   open-related paths and elsewhere).

* 'work.open3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (40 commits)
  few more cleanups of link_path_walk() callers
  allow link_path_walk() to take ERR_PTR()
  make path_init() unconditionally paired with terminate_walk()
  document alloc_file() changes
  make alloc_file() static
  do_shmat(): grab shp-&gt;shm_file earlier, switch to alloc_file_clone()
  new helper: alloc_file_clone()
  create_pipe_files(): switch the first allocation to alloc_file_pseudo()
  anon_inode_getfile(): switch to alloc_file_pseudo()
  hugetlb_file_setup(): switch to alloc_file_pseudo()
  ocxlflash_getfile(): switch to alloc_file_pseudo()
  cxl_getfile(): switch to alloc_file_pseudo()
  ... and switch shmem_file_setup() to alloc_file_pseudo()
  __shmem_file_setup(): reorder allocations
  new wrapper: alloc_file_pseudo()

  switch atomic_open() and lookup_open() to returning 0 in all success cases

The BTF conflicts were simple overlapping changes.

The virtio_net conflict was an overlap of a fix of statistics counter,
happening alongisde a move over to a bonafide statistics structure
rather than counting value on the stack.

We never use RCU protection for it, just a lot of cargo-cult
rcu_deference_protects calls.

Note that we do keep the kfree_rcu call for it, as the references through
struct sock are RCU protected and thus might require a grace period before
freeing.

'call' is a user-controlled value, so sanitize the array index after the
bounds check to avoid speculating past the bounds of the 'nargs' array.

Found with the help of Smatch:

net/socket.c:2508 __do_sys_socketcall() warn: potential spectre issue
'nargs' [r] (local cap)

takes inode, vfsmount, name, O_... flags and file_operations and
either returns a new struct file (in which case inode reference we
held is consumed) or returns ERR_PTR(), in which case no refcounts
are altered.

converted aio_private_file() and sock_alloc_file() to it
