Merge tag 'net-7.0-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/netdavem/net-next/maindavem/net-next/HEAD
Pull networking fixes from Jakub Kicinski:
"Including fixes from Netfilter.
Current release - new code bugs:
- net: fix backlog_unlock_irq_restore() vs CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT
- eth: mlx5e: XSK, Fix unintended ICOSQ change
- phy_port: correctly recompute the port's linkmodes
- vsock: prevent child netns mode switch from local to global
- couple of kconfig fixes for new symbols
Previous releases - regressions:
- nfc: nci: fix false-positive parameter validation for packet data
- net: do not delay zero-copy skbs in skb_attempt_defer_free()
Previous releases - always broken:
- mctp: ensure our nlmsg responses to user space are zero-initialised
- ipv6: ioam: fix heap buffer overflow in __ioam6_fill_trace_data()
- fixes for ICMP rate limiting
Misc:
- intel: fix PCI device ID conflict between i40e and ipw2200"
