Pull networking updates from David Miller:

 1) Add Maglev hashing scheduler to IPVS, from Inju Song.

 2) Lots of new TC subsystem tests from Roman Mashak.

 3) Add TCP zero copy receive and fix delayed acks and autotuning with
    SO_RCVLOWAT, from Eric Dumazet.

 4) Add XDP_REDIRECT support to mlx5 driver, from Jesper Dangaard
    Brouer.

 5) Add ttl inherit support to vxlan, from Hangbin Liu.

 6) Properly separate ipv6 routes into their logically independant
    components. fib6_info for the routing table, and fib6_nh for sets of
    nexthops, which thus can be shared. From David Ahern.

 7) Add bpf_xdp_adjust_tail helper, which can be used to generate ICMP
    messages from XDP programs. From Nikita V. Shirokov.

 8) Lots of long overdue cleanups to the r8169 driver, from Heiner
    Kallweit.

 9) Add BTF ("BPF Type Format"), from Martin KaFai Lau.

10) Add traffic condition monitoring to iwlwifi, from Luca Coelho.

11) Plumb extack down into fib_rules, from Roopa Prabhu.

12) Add Flower classifier offload support to igb, from Vinicius Costa
    Gomes.

13) Add UDP GSO support, from Willem de Bruijn.

14) Add documentation for eBPF helpers, from Quentin Monnet.

15) Add TLS tx offload to mlx5, from Ilya Lesokhin.

16) Allow applications to be given the number of bytes available to read
    on a socket via a control message returned from recvmsg(), from
    Soheil Hassas Yeganeh.

17) Add x86_32 eBPF JIT compiler, from Wang YanQing.

18) Add AF_XDP sockets, with zerocopy support infrastructure as well.
    From Björn Töpel.

19) Remove indirect load support from all of the BPF JITs and handle
    these operations in the verifier by translating them into native BPF
    instead. From Daniel Borkmann.

20) Add GRO support to ipv6 gre tunnels, from Eran Ben Elisha.

21) Allow XDP programs to do lookups in the main kernel routing tables
    for forwarding. From David Ahern.

22) Allow drivers to store hardware state into an ELF section of kernel
    dump vmcore files, and use it in cxgb4. From Rahul Lakkireddy.

23) Various RACK and loss detection improvements in TCP, from Yuchung
    Cheng.

24) Add TCP SACK compression, from Eric Dumazet.

25) Add User Mode Helper support and basic bpfilter infrastructure, from
    Alexei Starovoitov.
