      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.
