Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net
Build failure in drivers/net/wwan/mhi_wwan_mbim.c: add missing parameter (0, assuming we don't want buffer pre-alloc). Conflict in drivers/net/dsa/sja1105/sja1105_main.c between: 589918df9322 ("net: dsa: sja1105: be stateless with FDB entries on SJA1105P/Q/R/S/SJA1110 too") 0fac6aa098ed ("net: dsa: sja1105: delete the best_effort_vlan_filtering mode") Follow the instructions from the commit message of the former commit - removed the if conditions. When looking at commit 589918df9322 ("net: dsa: sja1105: be stateless with FDB entries on SJA1105P/Q/R/S/SJA1110 too") note that the mask_iotag fields get removed by the following patch.

+ * buffers: one for data yet to be read, and one for new data. If this is less
+ * than two, then a write to a non-empty pipe may block even if the pipe is not
+ * full. This can occur with GNU make jobserver or similar uses of pipes as
+ * semaphores: multiple processes may be waiting to write tokens back to the
+ * pipe before reading tokens: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1628086770.5rn8p04n6j.none@localhost/.
+ *
+ * Users can reduce their pipe buffers with F_SETPIPE_SZ below this at their
+ * own risk, namely: pipe writes to non-full pipes may block until the pipe is
+ * emptied.
