Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next
Pull networking changes from David Miller: "Noteworthy changes this time around: 1) Multicast rejoin support for team driver, from Jiri Pirko. 2) Centralize and simplify TCP RTT measurement handling in order to reduce the impact of bad RTO seeding from SYN/ACKs. Also, when both timestamps and local RTT measurements are available prefer the later because there are broken middleware devices which scramble the timestamp. From Yuchung Cheng. 3) Add TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT socket option to limit the amount of kernel memory consumed to queue up unsend user data. From Eric Dumazet. 4) Add a "physical port ID" abstraction for network devices, from Jiri Pirko. 5) Add a "suppress" operation to influence fib_rules lookups, from Stefan Tomanek. 6) Add a networking development FAQ, from Paul Gortmaker. 7) Extend the information provided by tcp_probe and add ipv6 support, from Daniel Borkmann. 8) Use RCU locking more extensively in openvswitch data paths, from Pravin B Shelar. 9) Add SCTP support to openvswitch, from Joe Stringer. 10) Add EF10 chip support to SFC driver, from Ben Hutchings. 11) Add new SYNPROXY netfilter target, from Patrick McHardy. 12) Compute a rate approximation for sending in TCP sockets, and use this to more intelligently coalesce TSO frames. Furthermore, add a new packet scheduler which takes advantage of this estimate when available. From Eric Dumazet. 13) Allow AF_PACKET fanouts with random selection, from Daniel Borkmann. 14) Add ipv6 support to vxlan driver, from Cong Wang" Resolved conflicts as per discussion. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next: (1218 commits) openvswitch: Fix alignment of struct sw_flow_key. netfilter: Fix build errors with xt_socket.c tcp: Add missing braces to do_tcp_setsockopt caif: Add missing braces to multiline if in cfctrl_linkup_request bnx2x: Add missing braces in bnx2x:bnx2x_link_initialize vxlan: Fix kernel panic on device delete. net: mvneta: implement ->ndo_do_ioctl() to support PHY ioctls net: mvneta: properly disable HW PHY polling and ensure adjust_link() works icplus: Use netif_running to determine device state ethernet/arc/arc_emac: Fix huge delays in large file copies tuntap: orphan frags before trying to set tx timestamp tuntap: purge socket error queue on detach qlcnic: use standard NAPI weights ipv6:introduce function to find route for redirect bnx2x: VF RSS support - VF side bnx2x: VF RSS support - PF side vxlan: Notify drivers for listening UDP port changes net: usbnet: update addr_assign_type if appropriate driver/net: enic: update enic maintainers and driver driver/net: enic: Exposing symbols for Cisco's low latency driver ...
