Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"One of the 'small improvements all over the place' releases for us.

It's hard to draw any direct comparisons because summer vacations
disrupted our patch processing (and presumably - generation) quite a
bit.

Quick and dirty count suggests we (Paolo and I) merged a very similar
number of net (632) and net-next (648) patches. This is not telling
the full story either because 1/3 to 1/2 of the net-next patches also
*seem* like AI-driven low priority fixes, cleanups and clarifications.

We are completely overwhelmed, of course. The glimmer of hope is that
we secured sufficient LLM budget and access (thank you Meta!) to run
reviews with multiple frontier models on each patch. This eliminates
some hallucinations. That said, in terms of review, the LLMs can only
do so much.

The sad truth is that our APIs (especially for rare events like PCIe
errors, timeouts etc) have always been racy, and now LLMs don't let us
ignore that. I expect our direction for the next release will be to
tweak the reviews a little bit more, but start shifting focus to
letting the LLMs take care of the busy work - managing patchwork,
automating common process complaints, editing commit messages, and
maybe applying patches which already got "reviewed-by" tags from
people we trust...

Core & protocols:

- A few steps lowering rtnl_lock dependence:
- per-netns netdev unregistration for select SW drivers (e.g.
veth, ipvlan, tunnels)
- rtnl_lock-less FIB rule changes (RTM_NEWRULE and RTM_DELRULE)
- prepare software drivers and TC qdiscs for rtnl_lock-less GET

- Support BIG TCP (>64kB TSO) in UDP tunnels (vxlan, geneve)

- Support buffers larger than PAGE_SIZE in devmem zero-copy API

out-of-order queue had to be pruned

- Report the per-group user count via RTM_GETMULTICAST

- Expose the route deletion reason in RTM_DELROUTE

useful handling of LSM denials when receiving SCM_RIGHTS messages:
instead of truncating the message at the first blocked fd, keep
every fd slot and store the LSM errno in the blocked slot

(address) in a different/specified routing table

wifi: mm81x: add mm81x Wi-Fi HaLow driver

mm81x is the first Wi-Fi HaLow driver to support the Morse Micro mm81x
chip family via USB and SDIO.

S1G support in the kernel is only new, and as a result this driver has
been scoped to be simple and only support station and AP interface.
The Wi-Fi specific features only cover the minimum required for basic
use such as powersave, aggregation, rate control and so on. The driver
will be extended into the future as S1G support for operations such as
ACS, channel switching and so on are added into the wireless stack.

The driver has been build tested on a long list of architectures and
compilers via Intels LKP.

The driver currently supports IEEE80211-2024 US channels only, with
AU 2020 also available. In order for this to be expanded additional
non-trivial kernel work is required which will begin once the
driver is upstream.

The driver has had many authors who are listed below in
alphabetical order:
