Linus Torvalds 2975dbdc39 Networking fixes for 5.18-rc1 and rethook patches.
Features:
 
  - kprobes: rethook: x86: replace kretprobe trampoline with rethook
 
 Current release - regressions:
 
  - sfc: avoid null-deref on systems without NUMA awareness
    in the new queue sizing code
 
 Current release - new code bugs:
 
  - vxlan: do not feed vxlan_vnifilter_dump_dev with non-vxlan devices
 
  - eth: lan966x: fix null-deref on PHY pointer in timestamp ioctl
    when interface is down
 
 Previous releases - always broken:
 
  - openvswitch: correct neighbor discovery target mask field
    in the flow dump
 
  - wireguard: ignore v6 endpoints when ipv6 is disabled and fix a leak
 
  - rxrpc: fix call timer start racing with call destruction
 
  - rxrpc: fix null-deref when security type is rxrpc_no_security
 
  - can: fix UAF bugs around echo skbs in multiple drivers
 
 Misc:
 
  - docs: move netdev-FAQ to the "process" section of the documentation

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.
