Merge tag 'net-5.10-rc6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net

Pull networking fixes from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Networking fixes for 5.10-rc6, including fixes from the WiFi driver,
  and CAN subtrees.

  Current release - regressions:

   - gro_cells: reduce number of synchronize_net() calls

   - ch_ktls: release a lock before jumping to an error path

  Current release - always broken:

   - tcp: Allow full IP tos/IPv6 tclass to be reflected in L3 header

  Previous release - regressions:

   - net/tls: fix missing received data after fast remote close

   - vsock/virtio: discard packets only when socket is really closed

   - sock: set sk_err to ee_errno on dequeue from errq

   - cxgb4: fix the panic caused by non smac rewrite

  Previous release - always broken:

   - tcp: fix corner cases around setting ECN with BPF selection of
     congestion control

   - tcp: fix race condition when creating child sockets from syncookies
     on loopback interface

   - usbnet: ipheth: fix connectivity with iOS 14

   - tun: honor IOCB_NOWAIT flag

   - net/packet: fix packet receive on L3 devices without visible hard
     header

   - devlink: Make sure devlink instance and port are in same net
     namespace

   - net: openvswitch: fix TTL decrement action netlink message format

   - bonding: wait for sysfs kobject destruction before freeing struct
     slave

   - net: stmmac: fix upstream patch applied to the wrong context

   - bnxt_en: fix return value and unwind in probe error paths

  Misc:

   - devlink: add extra layer of categorization to the reload stats uAPI
     before it's released"

+Q: How do I post corresponding changes to user space components?
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+A: User space code exercising kernel features should be posted
+alongside kernel patches. This gives reviewers a chance to see
+how any new interface is used and how well it works.
+
+When user space tools reside in the kernel repo itself all changes
+should generally come as one series. If series becomes too large
+or the user space project is not reviewed on netdev include a link
+to a public repo where user space patches can be seen.
+
+In case user space tooling lives in a separate repository but is
+reviewed on netdev  (e.g. patches to `iproute2` tools) kernel and
+user space patches should form separate series (threads) when posted
+to the mailing list, e.g.::
+
+  [PATCH net-next 0/3] net: some feature cover letter
+   └─ [PATCH net-next 1/3] net: some feature prep
+   └─ [PATCH net-next 2/3] net: some feature do it
+   └─ [PATCH net-next 3/3] selftest: net: some feature
+
+  [PATCH iproute2-next] ip: add support for some feature
+
+Posting as one thread is discouraged because it confuses patchwork
+(as of patchwork 2.2.2).
+
 Q: Any other tips to help ensure my net/net-next patch gets OK'd?
