----------------------------------------------------------------
Including fixes from netfilter and CAN.

Current release - regressions:

- netfilter: nf_conncount: fix leaked ct in error paths

- sched: act_mirred: fix loop detection

- sctp: fix potential deadlock in sctp_clone_sock()

- can: fix build dependency

- eth: mlx5e: do not update BQL of old txqs during channel reconfiguration

Previous releases - regressions:

- sched: ets: always remove class from active list before deleting it

- inet: frags: flush pending skbs in fqdir_pre_exit()

- netfilter: nf_nat: remove bogus direction check

- mptcp:
- schedule rtx timer only after pushing data
- avoid deadlock on fallback while reinjecting

- can: gs_usb: fix error handling

- eth: mlx5e:
- avoid unregistering PSP twice
- fix double unregister of HCA_PORTS component

- eth: bnxt_en: fix XDP_TX path

- eth: mlxsw: fix use-after-free when updating multicast route stats

Previous releases - always broken:

- ethtool: avoid overflowing userspace buffer on stats query

- openvswitch: fix middle attribute validation in push_nsh() action

- eth: mlx5: fw_tracer, validate format string parameters

- eth: mlxsw: spectrum_router: fix neighbour use-after-free

- eth: ipvlan: ignore PACKET_LOOPBACK in handle_mode_l2()

Misc:

- Jozsef Kadlecsik retires from maintaining netfilter

- tools: ynl: fix build on systems with old kernel headers
