Merge tag 'net-6.15-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net

Pull networking fixes from Paolo Abeni:
 "Including fixes from netfilter.

  Current release - regressions:

    - core: hold instance lock during NETDEV_CHANGE

    - rtnetlink: fix bad unlock balance in do_setlink()

    - ipv6:
       - fix null-ptr-deref in addrconf_add_ifaddr()
       - align behavior across nexthops during path selection

  Previous releases - regressions:

    - sctp: prevent transport UaF in sendmsg

    - mptcp: only inc MPJoinAckHMacFailure for HMAC failures

  Previous releases - always broken:

    - sched:
       - make ->qlen_notify() idempotent
       - ensure sufficient space when sending filter netlink notifications
       - sch_sfq: really don't allow 1 packet limit

    - netfilter: fix incorrect avx2 match of 5th field octet

    - tls: explicitly disallow disconnect

    - eth: octeontx2-pf: fix VF root node parent queue priority"

 Devices drivers are encouraged to rely on the instance lock where possible.
 
 For the (mostly software) drivers that need to interact with the core stack,
-there are two sets of interfaces: ``dev_xxx`` and ``netif_xxx`` (e.g.,
-``dev_set_mtu`` and ``netif_set_mtu``). The ``dev_xxx`` functions handle
-acquiring the instance lock themselves, while the ``netif_xxx`` functions
-assume that the driver has already acquired the instance lock.
