List of Linus merges from v5.10 to v5.11-rc1
1. Networking
Introduce preferred busy-polling: The existing busy-polling mode, enabled by the SO_BUSY_POLL socket option or the system-wide /proc/sys/net/core/busy_read knob, is opportunistic, when the busy-polling budget is exceeded, the NAPI will be scheduled onto the regular softirq handling. Some applications prefer that most NAPI processing would be done by busy-polling; this release implements such functionality with a new socket option, SO_PREFER_BUSY_POLL commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit
IPv6: Add support for the SRv6 End.DT4 and End.DT6 (VRF mode) behavior. The SRv6 End.DT4 behavior is used to implement multi-tenant IPv4 L3 VPNs. It decapsulates the received packets and performs IPv4 routing lookup in the routing table of the tenant. The SRv6 End.DT4 Linux implementation leverages a VRF device in order to force the routing lookup into the associated routing table. The SRv6 End.DT4 behavior is defined in the SRv6 Network Programming commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit
IP: Add an IPv6/IPv4 route encapsulation attribute to the result of netlink RTM_GETROUTE requests commit, commit
- batman-adv
- brige
Add support for Connectivity Fault Management(CFM), defined in 802.1Q section 12.14. Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) comprises capabilities for detecting, verifying, and isolating connectivity failures in Virtual Bridged Networks. These capabilities can be used in networks operated by multiple independent organizations, each with restricted management access to each other’s equipment commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit

packet protocol: make packet_fanout.arr size configurable up to 64K commit
ppp: add PPPIOCBRIDGECHAN and PPPIOCUNBRIDGECHAN ioctls. This new ioctl pair allows two ppp channels to be bridged together: frames arriving in one channel are transmitted in the other channel and vice versa. The practical use for this is primarily to support the L2TP Access Concentrator use-case. The end-user session is presented as a ppp channel (typically PPPoE, although it could be e.g. PPPoA, or even PPP over a serial link) and is switched into a PPPoL2TP session for transmission to the LNS. At the LNS the PPP session is terminated in the ISP's network commit

2. Architectures
2.1. ARM
New supported SoCs
MStar Infinity2M, a low-end IP camera chip based on a dual-core Cortex-A7, otherwise similar to the Infinity chip we already support.
