Linus Torvalds 180f3bcfe3 Networking fixes for 5.16-rc6, including fixes from mac80211, wifi, bpf.
Current release - regressions:
 
  - dpaa2-eth: fix buffer overrun when reporting ethtool statistics
 
 Current release - new code bugs:

  - iavf:
      - add missing unlocks in iavf_watchdog_task()

  - mlxsw: spectrum_router: consolidate MAC profiles when possible
 
 Previous releases - regressions:
 
  - mac80211, fix:
      - rate control, avoid driver crash for retransmitted frames
      - regression in SSN handling of addba tx
      - a memory leak where sta_info is not freed

     - signed bounds propagation after mov32
     - extable fixup offset

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
