    Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
     "I know this is a bit more than you want to see, and I've told the
      wireless folks under no uncertain terms that they must severely scale
      back the extent of the fixes they are submitting this late in the
      game.
    
      Anyways:
    
       1) vmxnet3's netpoll doesn't perform the equivalent of an ISR, which
          is the correct implementation, like it should.  Instead it does
          something like a NAPI poll operation.  This leads to crashes.
    
          From Neil Horman and Arnd Bergmann.
    
       2) Segmentation of SKBs requires proper socket orphaning of the
          fragments, otherwise we might access stale state released by the
          release callbacks.
    
          This is a 5 patch fix, but the initial patches are giving
          variables and such significantly clearer names such that the
          actual fix itself at the end looks trivial.
    
          From Michael S.  Tsirkin.
    
       3) TCP control block release can deadlock if invoked from a timer on
          an already "owned" socket.  Fix from Eric Dumazet.
    
       4) In the bridge multicast code, we must validate that the
          destination address of general queries is the link local all-nodes
          multicast address.  From Linus Lüssing.
    
       5) The x86 BPF JIT support for negative offsets puts the parameter
          for the helper function call in the wrong register.  Fix from
          Alexei Starovoitov.
    
       6) The descriptor type used for RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_17 chips in the
          r8169 driver is incorrect.  Fix from Hayes Wang.
    
       7) The xen-netback driver tests skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_type bits to see
          if a packet is a GSO frame, but that's not the correct test.  It
          should use skb_is_gso(skb) instead.  Fix from Wei Liu.
    
       8) Negative msg->msg_namelen values should generate an error, from
          Matthew Leach.
    
       9) at86rf230 can deadlock because it takes the same lock from it's
          ISR and it's hard_start_xmit method, without disabling interrupts
          in the latter.  Fix from Alexander Aring.
    
      10) The FEC driver's restart doesn't perform operations in the correct
          order, so promiscuous settings can get lost.  Fix from Stefan
          Wahren.
    
      11) Fix SKB leak in SCTP cookie handling, from Daniel Borkmann.
    
      12) Reference count and memory leak fixes in TIPC from Ying Xue and
          Erik Hugne.
    
      13) Forced eviction in inet_frag_evictor() must strictly make sure all
          frags are deleted, otherwise module unload (f.e.  6lowpan) can
          crash.  Fix from Florian Westphal.
    
      14) Remove assumptions in AF_UNIX's use of csum_partial() (which it
          uses as a hash function), which breaks on PowerPC.  From Anton
          Blanchard.
    
          The main gist of the issue is that csum_partial() is defined only
          as a value that, once folded (f.e.  via csum_fold()) produces a
          correct 16-bit checksum.  It is legitimate, therefore, for
          csum_partial() to produce two different 32-bit values over the
          same data if their respective alignments are different.
    
      15) Fix endiannes bug in MAC address handling of ibmveth driver, also
          from Anton Blanchard.
    
      16) Error checks for ipv6 exthdrs offload registration are reversed,
          from Anton Nayshtut.
    
      17) Externally triggered ipv6 addrconf routes should count against the
          garbage collection threshold.  Fix from Sabrina Dubroca.
    
      18) The PCI shutdown handler added to the bnx2 driver can wedge the
          chip if it was not brought up earlier already, which in particular
          causes the firmware to shut down the PHY.  Fix from Michael Chan.
    
      19) Adjust the sanity WARN_ON_ONCE() in qdisc_list_add() because as
          currently coded it can and does trigger in legitimate situations.
          From Eric Dumazet.
    
      20) BNA driver fails to build on ARM because of a too large udelay()
          call, fix from Ben Hutchings.
    
      21) Fair-Queue qdisc holds locks during GFP_KERNEL allocations, fix
          from Eric Dumazet.
    
      22) The vlan passthrough ops added in the previous release causes a
          regression in source MAC address setting of outgoing headers in
          some circumstances.  Fix from Peter Boström"
