Merge tag 'net-6.17-rc8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/netHEADmaster

Pull networking fixes from Paolo Abeni:
 "Including fixes from Bluetooth, IPsec and CAN.

  No known regressions at this point.

  Current release - regressions:

   - xfrm: xfrm_alloc_spi shouldn't use 0 as SPI

  Previous releases - regressions:

   - xfrm: fix offloading of cross-family tunnels

   - bluetooth: fix several races leading to UaFs

   - dsa: lantiq_gswip: fix FDB entries creation for the CPU port

   - eth:
       - tun: update napi->skb after XDP process
       - mlx: fix UAF in flow counter release

  Previous releases - always broken:

   - core: forbid FDB status change while nexthop is in a group

   - smc: fix warning in smc_rx_splice() when calling get_page()

   - can: provide missing ndo_change_mtu(), to prevent buffer overflow.

   - eth:
       - i40e: fix VF config validation
       - broadcom: fix support for PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST2 ioctl"
