Pull missed media updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab:
 "It seems I screwed-up my previous pull request: it ends up that only
  half of the media patches that were in linux-next got merged in -rc1.

  The script which creates the signed tags silently failed due to
  5.19-&gt;6.0 so it ended generating a tag with incomplete stuff.

  So here are the missing parts:

   - a DVB core security fix

   - lots of fixes and cleanups for atomisp staging driver

   - old drivers that are VB1 are being moved to staging to be
     deprecated

   - several driver updates - mostly for embedded systems, but there are
     also some things addressing issues with some PC webcams, in the UVC
     video driver"

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 -&gt; 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 &lt;= 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.

  New hardware / drivers:

   - Ethernet:
      - Microchip KSZ9896 6-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch
      - Renesas Ethernet AVB (EtherAVB-IF) Gen4 SoCs

nlmsg_flags are full of historical baggage, inconsistencies and
strangeness. Try to document it more thoroughly. Explain the meaning
of the ECHO flag (and while at it clarify the comment in the uAPI).
Handwave a little about the NEW request flags and how they make
sense on the surface but cater to really old paradigm before commands
were a thing.

I will add more notes on how to make use of ECHO and discouragement
for reuse of flags to the kernel-side documentation.

It seems that all code should use double backquotes, which is also used
to convert "%" defines.  Let's use an homogeneous style and remove all
use of simple backquotes (which should only be used for emphasis).

Now that we have more than one ABI version, make limitation explanation
more consistent by replacing "ABI 1" with "ABI &lt; 2".  This also
indicates which ABIs support such past limitation.

Improve documentation consistency by not using contractions.

Fix spelling in fs.c .

<id>urn:sha1:690252f19f0e486abb8590b3a7a03d4e065d93d4</id>
<content type='text'>
There is currently no way to report via extack in a structured way
that an attribute is missing. This leads to families resorting to
string messages.

Add a pair of attributes - @offset and @type for machine-readable
way of reporting missing attributes. The @offset points to the
nest which should have contained the attribute, @type is the
expected nla_type. The offset will be skipped if the attribute
is missing at the message level rather than inside a nest.

User space should be able to figure out which attribute enum
(AKA attribute space AKA attribute set) the nest pointed to by
@offset is using.

<content type='text'>
The V4L2_CAP_ASYNCIO capability was never implemented (and in fact
it isn't clear what it was supposed to do in the first place).

Drop it from the capabilities list. Keep it in videodev2.h with the
other defines under ifndef __KERNEL__ for backwards compatibility.

This will free up a capability bit for other future uses. And having
an unused and undefined I/O method is just plain confusing.
