Pull networking fixes from David Miller: 1) Fix sk_psock reference count leak on receive, from Xiyu Yang. 2) CONFIG_HNS should be invisible, from Geert Uytterhoeven. 3) Don't allow locking route MTUs in ipv6, RFCs actually forbid this, from Maciej Żenczykowski. 4) ipv4 route redirect backoff wasn't actually enforced, from Paolo Abeni. 5) Fix netprio cgroup v2 leak, from Zefan Li. 6) Fix infinite loop on rmmod in conntrack, from Florian Westphal. 7) Fix tcp SO_RCVLOWAT hangs, from Eric Dumazet. 8) Various bpf probe handling fixes, from Daniel Borkmann. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net: (68 commits) selftests: mptcp: pm: rm the right tmp file dpaa2-eth: properly handle buffer size restrictions bpf: Restrict bpf_trace_printk()'s %s usage and add %pks, %pus specifier bpf: Add bpf_probe_read_{user, kernel}_str() to do_refine_retval_range bpf: Restrict bpf_probe_read{, str}() only to archs where they work MAINTAINERS: Mark networking drivers as Maintained. ipmr: Add lockdep expression to ipmr_for_each_table macro ipmr: Fix RCU list debugging warning drivers: net: hamradio: Fix suspicious RCU usage warning in bpqether.c net: phy: broadcom: fix BCM54XX_SHD_SCR3_TRDDAPD value for BCM54810 tcp: fix error recovery in tcp_zerocopy_receive() MAINTAINERS: Add Jakub to networking drivers.

+Probed Pointers from BPF / tracing
+----------------------------------

+::
+
+ %pks kernel string
+ %pus user string
+
+The ``k`` and ``u`` specifiers are used for printing prior probed memory from
+either kernel memory (k) or user memory (u). The subsequent ``s`` specifier
+results in printing a string. For direct use in regular vsnprintf() the (k)
+and (u) annotation is ignored, however, when used out of BPF's bpf_trace_printk(),
+for example, it reads the memory it is pointing to without faulting.
