selftests/vsock: avoid false-positives when checking dmesg (2025-11-06 07:34:50 -0800)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Including fixes from bluetooth and wireless.
Current release - new code bugs:
- ptp: expose raw cycles only for clocks with free-running counter
- bonding: fix null-deref in actor_port_prio setting
- mdio: ERR_PTR-check regmap pointer returned by device_node_to_regmap()
- eth: libie: depend on DEBUG_FS when building LIBIE_FWLOG
Previous releases - regressions:
- virtio_net: fix perf regression due to bad alignment of
virtio_net_hdr_v1_hash
- Revert "wifi: ath10k: avoid unnecessary wait for service ready message"
caused regressions for QCA988x and QCA9984
- Revert "wifi: ath12k: Fix missing station power save configuration"
caused regressions for WCN7850
- eth: bnxt_en: shutdown FW DMA in bnxt_shutdown(), fix memory
corruptions after kexec
Previous releases - always broken:
- virtio-net: fix received packet length check for big packets
- sctp: fix races in socket diag handling
- wifi: add an hrtimer-based delayed work item to avoid low granularity
of timers set relatively far in the future, and use it where it matters
(e.g. when performing AP-scheduled channel switch)
- eth: mlx5e:
- correctly propagate error in case of module EEPROM read failure
- fix HW-GRO on systems with PAGE_SIZE == 64kB
- dsa: b53: fixes for tagging, link configuration / RMII, FDB, multicast
- phy: lan8842: implement latest errata
