Pull networking updates from David Miller:
 "Highlights:

   1) Maintain the TCP retransmit queue using an rbtree, with 1GB
      windows at 100Gb this really has become necessary. From Eric
      Dumazet.

   2) Multi-program support for cgroup+bpf, from Alexei Starovoitov.

   3) Perform broadcast flooding in hardware in mv88e6xxx, from Andrew
      Lunn.

   4) Add meter action support to openvswitch, from Andy Zhou.

   5) Add a data meta pointer for BPF accessible packets, from Daniel
      Borkmann.

   6) Namespace-ify almost all TCP sysctl knobs, from Eric Dumazet.

   7) Turn on Broadcom Tags in b53 driver, from Florian Fainelli.

   8) More work to move the RTNL mutex down, from Florian Westphal.

   9) Add 'bpftool' utility, to help with bpf program introspection.
      From Jakub Kicinski.

  10) Add new 'cpumap' type for XDP_REDIRECT action, from Jesper
      Dangaard Brouer.

  11) Support 'blocks' of transformations in the packet scheduler which
      can span multiple network devices, from Jiri Pirko.

  12) TC flower offload support in cxgb4, from Kumar Sanghvi.

  13) Priority based stream scheduler for SCTP, from Marcelo Ricardo
      Leitner.

  14) Thunderbolt networking driver, from Amir Levy and Mika Westerberg.

  15) Add RED qdisc offloadability, and use it in mlxsw driver. From
      Nogah Frankel.

  16) eBPF based device controller for cgroup v2, from Roman Gushchin.

  17) Add some fundamental tracepoints for TCP, from Song Liu.

  18) Remove garbage collection from ipv6 route layer, this is a
      significant accomplishment. From Wei Wang.

  19) Add multicast route offload support to mlxsw, from Yotam Gigi"

 To recover from this mode, one needs to flash a valid NVM image to the
 host host controller in the same way it is done in the previous chapter.

+Networking over Thunderbolt cable
+---------------------------------
+Thunderbolt technology allows software communication across two hosts
+connected by a Thunderbolt cable.
+
+It is possible to tunnel any kind of traffic over Thunderbolt link but
+currently we only support Apple ThunderboltIP protocol.
+
+If the other host is running Windows or macOS only thing you need to
+do is to connect Thunderbolt cable between the two hosts, the
+``thunderbolt-net`` is loaded automatically. If the other host is also
+Linux you should load ``thunderbolt-net`` manually on one host (it does
+not matter which one)::
+
+  # modprobe thunderbolt-net
+
+This triggers module load on the other host automatically. If the driver
+is built-in to the kernel image, there is no need to do anything.
+
+The driver will create one virtual ethernet interface per Thunderbolt
+port which are named like ``thunderbolt0`` and so on. From this point
+you can either use standard userspace tools like ``ifconfig`` to
+configure the interface or let your GUI to handle it automatically.
