Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core:

   - Introduce and use a single page frag cache for allocating small skb
     heads, clawing back the 10-20% performance regression in UDP flood
     test from previous fixes.

   - Run packets which already went thru HW coalescing thru SW GRO. This
     significantly improves TCP segment coalescing and simplifies
     deployments as different workloads benefit from HW or SW GRO.

   - Shrink the size of the base zero-copy send structure.

   - Move TCP init under a new slow / sleepable version of DO_ONCE().

  BPF:

   - Add BPF-specific, any-context-safe memory allocator.

   - Add helpers/kfuncs for PKCS#7 signature verification from BPF
     programs.

   - Define a new map type and related helpers for user space -> kernel
     communication over a ring buffer (BPF_MAP_TYPE_USER_RINGBUF).

   - Allow targeting BPF iterators to loop through resources of one
     task/thread.

   - Add ability to call selected destructive functions. Expose
     crash_kexec() to allow BPF to trigger a kernel dump. Use
     CAP_SYS_BOOT check on the loading process to judge permissions.

   - Enable BPF to collect custom hierarchical cgroup stats efficiently
     by integrating with the rstat framework.

   - Support struct arguments for trampoline based programs. Only
     structs with size <= 16B and x86 are supported.

   - Invoke cgroup/connect{4,6} programs for unprivileged ICMP ping
     sockets (instead of just TCP and UDP sockets).

   - Add a helper for accessing CLOCK_TAI for time sensitive network
     related programs.

   - Support accessing network tunnel metadata's flags.

   - Make TCP SYN ACK RTO tunable by BPF programs with TCP Fast Open.

   - Add support for writing to Netfilter's nf_conn:mark.

  Protocols:

   - WiFi: more Extremely High Throughput (EHT) and Multi-Link Operation
     (MLO) work (802.11be, WiFi 7).

   - vsock: improve support for SO_RCVLOWAT.

   - SMC: support SO_REUSEPORT.

   - Netlink: define and document how to use netlink in a "modern" way.
     Support reporting missing attributes via extended ACK.

   - IPSec: support collect metadata mode for xfrm interfaces.

   - TCPv6: send consistent autoflowlabel in SYN_RECV state and RST
     packets.

   - TCP: introduce optional per-netns connection hash table to allow
     better isolation between namespaces (opt-in, at the cost of memory
     and cache pressure).

   - MPTCP: support TCP_FASTOPEN_CONNECT.

   - Add NEXT-C-SID support in Segment Routing (SRv6) End behavior.

   - Adjust IP_UNICAST_IF sockopt behavior for connected UDP sockets.

   - Open vSwitch:
      - Allow specifying ifindex of new interfaces.
      - Allow conntrack and metering in non-initial user namespace.

   - TLS: support the Korean ARIA-GCM crypto algorithm.

   - Remove DECnet support.

  Driver API:

   - Allow selecting the conduit interface used by each port in DSA
     switches, at runtime.

   - Ethernet Power Sourcing Equipment and Power Device support.

   - Add tc-taprio support for queueMaxSDU parameter, i.e. setting per
     traffic class max frame size for time-based packet schedules.

   - Support PHY rate matching - adapting between differing host-side
     and link-side speeds.

   - Introduce QUSGMII PHY mode and 1000BASE-KX interface mode.

   - Validate OF (device tree) nodes for DSA shared ports; make
     phylink-related properties mandatory on DSA and CPU ports.
     Enforcing more uniformity should allow transitioning to phylink.

   - Require that flash component name used during update matches one of
     the components for which version is reported by info_get().

   - Remove "weight" argument from driver-facing NAPI API as much as
     possible. It's one of those magic knobs which seemed like a good
     idea at the time but is too indirect to use in practice.

   - Support offload of TLS connections with 256 bit keys.
