Pull networking fixes from Jakub Kicinski:
"With fixes from wireless, bluetooth and netfilter included we're back
to each PR carrying 30%+ more fixes than in previous era.
The good news is that so far none of the "extra" fixes are themselves
causing real regressions. Not sure how much comfort that is.
Current release - fix to a fix:
- netdevsim: fix build if SKB_EXTENSIONS=n
- eth: stmmac: skip VLAN restore when VLAN hash ops are missing
Previous releases - regressions:
- wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: don't send a 6E related command when
not supported
Previous releases - always broken:
- some info leak fixes
- add missing clearing of skb->cb[] on ICMP paths from tunnels
- ipv6:
- flowlabel: defer exclusive option free until RCU teardown
- avoid overflows in ip6_datagram_send_ctl()
- mpls: add seqcount to protect platform_labels from OOB access
- bridge: improve safety of parsing ND options
- bluetooth: fix leaks, overflows and races in hci_sync
- netfilter: add more input validation, some to address bugs directly
some to prevent exploits from cooking up broken configurations
- wifi:
- ath: avoid poor performance due to stopping the wrong
aggregation session
- virt_wifi: remove SET_NETDEV_DEV to avoid use-after-free
- eth:
- fec: fix the PTP periodic output sysfs interface
- enetc: safely reinitialize TX BD ring when it has unsent frames"
