Merge branch 'hsr-send-correct-hsrv0-supervision-frames' (2025-11-13 15:55:06 +0100)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Including fixes from Bluetooth and Wireless. No known outstanding
regressions.
Current release - regressions:
- eth: bonding: fix mii_status when slave is down
- eth: mlx5e: fix missing error assignment in mlx5e_xfrm_add_state()
Previous releases - regressions:
- sched: limit try_bulk_dequeue_skb() batches
- ipv4: route: prevent rt_bind_exception() from rebinding stale fnhe
- af_unix: initialise scc_index in unix_add_edge()
- netpoll: fix incorrect refcount handling causing incorrect cleanup
- bluetooth: don't hold spin lock over sleeping functions
- hsr: Fix supervision frame sending on HSRv0
- sctp: prevent possible shift out-of-bounds
- tipc: fix use-after-free in tipc_mon_reinit_self().
- dsa: tag_brcm: do not mark link local traffic as offloaded
- eth: virtio-net: fix incorrect flags recording in big mode
Previous releases - always broken:
- sched: initialize struct tc_ife to fix kernel-infoleak
- wifi:
- mac80211: reject address change while connecting
- iwlwifi: avoid toggling links due to wrong element use
- bluetooth: cancel mesh send timer when hdev removed
- strparser: fix signed/unsigned mismatch bug
- handshake: fix memory leak in tls_handshake_accept()
Misc:
- selftests: mptcp: fix some flaky tests
