Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core:

   - Remove socket skb caches

   - Add a SO_RESERVE_MEM socket op to forward allocate buffer space and
     avoid memory accounting overhead on each message sent

   - Introduce managed neighbor entries - added by control plane and
     resolved by the kernel for use in acceleration paths (BPF / XDP
     right now, HW offload users will benefit as well)

   - Make neighbor eviction on link down controllable by userspace to
     work around WiFi networks with bad roaming implementations

   - vrf: Rework interaction with netfilter/conntrack

     as implemented in LLVM14

   - Introduce bpf_get_branch_snapshot() to capture Last Branch Records

   - Implement variadic trace_printk helper

   - Add a new Bloomfilter map type

   - Track <8-byte scalar spill and refill

   - Disallow unprivileged BPF by default

   - Document BPF licensing

  Netfilter:

   - Introduce egress hook for looking at raw outgoing packets

   - Allow matching on and modifying inner headers / payload data

   - Add NFT_META_IFTYPE to match on the interface type either from
     ingress or egress

  Protocols:

   - Multi-Path TCP:
      - increase default max additional subflows to 2
      - rework forward memory allocation
      - add getsockopts: MPTCP_INFO, MPTCP_TCPINFO, MPTCP_SUBFLOW_ADDRS

   - MCTP flow support allowing lower layer drivers to configure msg
     muxing as needed

   - Automatic Multicast Tunneling (AMT) driver based on RFC7450

   - HSR support the redbox supervision frames (IEC-62439-3:2018)

   - Support for the ip6ip6 encapsulation of IOAM

   - Netlink interface for CAN-FD's Transmitter Delay Compensation

   - Support SMC-Rv2 eliminating the current same-subnet restriction, by
     exploiting the UDP encapsulation feature of RoCE adapters

   - TLS: add SM4 GCM/CCM crypto support

   - Bluetooth: initial support for link quality and audio/codec offload

  Driver APIs:

   - Add a batched interface for RX buffer allocation in AF_XDP buffer
     pool

   - ethtool: Add ability to control transceiver modules' power mode

   - phy: Introduce supported interfaces bitmap to express MAC
     capabilities and simplify PHY code

   - Drop rtnl_lock from DSA .port_fdb_{add,del} callbacks

     Gigabit-capable IP found on RZ/G2L SoC

   - Intel 100G Ethernet
      - support for eswitch offload of TC/OvS flow API, including
        offload of GRE, VxLAN, Geneve tunneling
      - support application device queues - ability to assign Rx and Tx
        queues to application threads
      - PTP and PPS (pulse-per-second) extensions

   - Broadcom Ethernet (bnxt)
      - devlink health reporting and device reload extensions

   - Various TCP cleanups and optimizations including improvements to
     CPU cache use

   - Simplify the gnet_stats, Qdisc stats' handling and remove
     qdisc->running sequence counter

+	 * possible, so that it can be distinguished from similar internal
+	 * maps of a different BPF object.
+	 * As an example, let's say we have bpf_object named 'my_object_name'
+	 * and internal map corresponding to '.rodata' ELF section. The final
+	 * map name advertised to user and to the kernel will be
+	 * 'my_objec.rodata', taking first 8 characters of object name and
+	 * entire 7 characters of '.rodata'.
+	 * Somewhat confusingly, if internal map ELF section name is shorter
+	 * than 7 characters, e.g., '.bss', we still reserve 7 characters
+	 * for the suffix, even though we only have 4 actual characters, and
+	 * resulting map will be called 'my_objec.bss', not even using all 15
+	 * characters allowed by the kernel. Oh well, at least the truncated
+	 * object name is somewhat consistent in this case. But if the map
+	 * name is '.kconfig', we'll still have entirety of '.kconfig' added
+	 * (8 chars) and thus will be left with only first 7 characters of the
+	 * object name ('my_obje'). Happy guessing, user, that the final map
+	 * name will be "my_obje.kconfig".
+	 * Now, with libbpf starting to support arbitrarily named .rodata.*
+	 * and .data.* data sections, it's possible that ELF section name is
+	 * longer than allowed 15 chars, so we now need to be careful to take
+	 * only up to 15 first characters of ELF name, taking no BPF object
+	 * name characters at all. So '.rodata.abracadabra' will result in
+	 * '.rodata.abracad' kernel and user-visible name.
+	 * We need to keep this convoluted logic intact for .data, .bss and
+	 * .rodata maps, but for new custom .data.custom and .rodata.custom
+	 * maps we use their ELF names as is, not prepending bpf_object name
+	 * in front. We still need to truncate them to 15 characters for the
+	 * kernel. Full name can be recovered for such maps by using DATASEC
+	 * BTF type associated with such map's value type, though.
