Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net
Pull networking fixes from David Miller: 1) Unbalanced refcounting in TIPC, from Jon Maloy. 2) Only allow TCP_MD5SIG to be set on sockets in close or listen state. Once the connection is established it makes no sense to change this. From Eric Dumazet. 3) Missing attribute validation in neigh_dump_table(), also from Eric Dumazet. 4) Fix address comparisons in SCTP, from Xin Long. 5) Neigh proxy table clearing can deadlock, from Wolfgang Bumiller. 6) Fix tunnel refcounting in l2tp, from Guillaume Nault. 7) Fix double list insert in team driver, from Paolo Abeni. 8) af_vsock.ko module was accidently made unremovable, from Stefan Hajnoczi. 9) Fix reference to freed llc_sap object in llc stack, from Cong Wang. 10) Don't assume netdevice struct is DMA'able memory in virtio_net driver, from Michael S. Tsirkin. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: (62 commits) net/smc: fix shutdown in state SMC_LISTEN bnxt_en: Fix memory fault in bnxt_ethtool_init() virtio_net: sparse annotation fix virtio_net: fix adding vids on big-endian virtio_net: split out ctrl buffer net: hns: Avoid action name truncation docs: ip-sysctl.txt: fix name of some ipv6 variables vmxnet3: fix incorrect dereference when rxvlan is disabled llc: hold llc_sap before release_sock() MAINTAINERS: Direct networking documentation changes to netdev atm: iphase: fix spelling mistake: "Tansmit" -> "Transmit" net: qmi_wwan: add Wistron Neweb D19Q1 net: caif: fix spelling mistake "UKNOWN" -> "UNKNOWN" net: stmmac: Disable ACS Feature for GMAC >= 4 net: mvpp2: Fix DMA address mask size net: change the comment of dev_mc_init net: qualcomm: rmnet: Fix warning seen with fill_info tun: fix vlan packet truncation tipc: fix infinite loop when dumping link monitor summary tipc: fix use-after-free in tipc_nametbl_stop ...
