Merge tag 'net-6.13-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net
Pull networking fixes from Paolo Abeni:
"Including fixes from can and netfilter.
Current release - regressions:
- rtnetlink: fix double call of rtnl_link_get_net_ifla()
- tcp: populate XPS related fields of timewait sockets
- ethtool: fix access to uninitialized fields in set RXNFC command
- selinux: use sk_to_full_sk() in selinux_ip_output()
Current release - new code bugs:
- net: make napi_hash_lock irq safe
- eth:
- bnxt_en: support header page pool in queue API
- ice: fix NULL pointer dereference in switchdev
Previous releases - regressions:
- core: fix icmp host relookup triggering ip_rt_bug
- ipv6:
- avoid possible NULL deref in modify_prefix_route()
- release expired exception dst cached in socket
- smc: fix LGR and link use-after-free issue
- hsr: avoid potential out-of-bound access in fill_frame_info()
- can: hi311x: fix potential use-after-free
- eth: ice: fix VLAN pruning in switchdev mode
Previous releases - always broken:
- netfilter:
- ipset: hold module reference while requesting a module
- nft_inner: incorrect percpu area handling under softirq
- can: j1939: fix skb reference counting
- eth:
- mlxsw: use correct key block on Spectrum-4
- mlx5: fix memory leak in mlx5hws_definer_calc_layout"
