Pull networking changes from Paolo Abeni:
 "Core:

   - Refactor the forward memory allocation to better cope with memory
     pressure with many open sockets, moving from a per socket cache to
     a per-CPU one

   - Replace rwlocks with RCU for better fairness in ping, raw sockets
     and IP multicast router.

   - Network-side support for IO uring zero-copy send.

   - A few skb drop reason improvements, including codegen the source
     file with string mapping instead of using macro magic.

   - Rename reference tracking helpers to a more consistent netdev_*
     schema.

   - Adapt u64_stats_t type to address load/store tearing issues.

   - Refine debug helper usage to reduce the log noise caused by bots.

  BPF:

   - Improve socket map performance, avoiding skb cloning on read
     operation.

   - Add support for 64 bits enum, to match types exposed by kernel.

   - Introduce support for sleepable uprobes program.

   - Introduce support for enum textual representation in libbpf.

   - New helpers to implement synproxy with eBPF/XDP.

   - Improve loop performances, inlining indirect calls when possible.

   - Removed all the deprecated libbpf APIs.

   - Implement new eBPF-based LSM flavor.

   - Add type match support, which allow accurate queries to the eBPF
     used types.

   - A few TCP congetsion control framework usability improvements.

   - Add new infrastructure to manipulate CT entries via eBPF programs.

   - Allow for livepatch (KLP) and BPF trampolines to attach to the same
     kernel function.

  Protocols:

   - Introduce per network namespace lookup tables for unix sockets,
     increasing scalability and reducing contention.

   - Preparation work for Wi-Fi 7 Multi-Link Operation (MLO) support.

   - Add support to forciby close TIME_WAIT TCP sockets via user-space
     tools.

   - Significant performance improvement for the TLS 1.3 receive path,
     both for zero-copy and not-zero-copy.

   - Support for changing the initial MTPCP subflow priority/backup
     status

   - Introduce virtually contingus buffers for sockets over RDMA, to
     cope better with memory pressure.

   - Extend CAN ethtool support with timestamping capabilities

   - Refactor CAN build infrastructure to allow building only the needed
     features.

  Driver API:

   - Remove devlink mutex to allow parallel commands on multiple links.

   - Add support for pause stats in distributed switch.

   - Implement devlink helpers to query and flash line cards.

   - New helper for phy mode to register conversion.

  New hardware / drivers:

   - Ethernet DSA driver for the rockchip mt7531 on BPI-R2 Pro.

   - Ethernet DSA driver for the Renesas RZ/N1 A5PSW switch.

   - Ethernet DSA driver for the Microchip LAN937x switch.

   - Ethernet PHY driver for the Aquantia AQR113C EPHY.

   - CAN driver for the OBD-II ELM327 interface.

   - CAN driver for RZ/N1 SJA1000 CAN controller.

   - Bluetooth: Infineon CYW55572 Wi-Fi plus Bluetooth combo device.
