Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next

Pull networking updates from David Miller:
 "Highlights (1721 non-merge commits, this has to be a record of some
  sort):

   1) Add 'random' mode to team driver, from Jiri Pirko and Eric
      Dumazet.

   2) Make it so that any driver that supports configuration of multiple
      MAC addresses can provide the forwarding database add and del
      calls by providing a default implementation and hooking that up if
      the driver doesn't have an explicit set of handlers.  From Vlad
      Yasevich.

   3) Support GSO segmentation over tunnels and other encapsulating
      devices such as VXLAN, from Pravin B Shelar.

   4) Support L2 GRE tunnels in the flow dissector, from Michael Dalton.

   5) Implement Tail Loss Probe (TLP) detection in TCP, from Nandita
      Dukkipati.

   6) In the PHY layer, allow supporting wake-on-lan in situations where
      the PHY registers have to be written for it to be configured.

      Use it to support wake-on-lan in mv643xx_eth.

      From Michael Stapelberg.

   7) Significantly improve firewire IPV6 support, from YOSHIFUJI
      Hideaki.

   8) Allow multiple packets to be sent in a single transmission using
      network coding in batman-adv, from Martin Hundebøll.

   9) Add support for T5 cxgb4 chips, from Santosh Rastapur.

  10) Generalize the VXLAN forwarding tables so that there is more
      flexibility in configurating various aspects of the endpoints.
      From David Stevens.

  11) Support RSS and TSO in hardware over GRE tunnels in bxn2x driver,
      from Dmitry Kravkov.

  12) Zero copy support in nfnelink_queue, from Eric Dumazet and Pablo
      Neira Ayuso.

  13) Start adding networking selftests.

  14) In situations of overload on the same AF_PACKET fanout socket, or
      per-cpu packet receive queue, minimize drop by distributing the
      load to other cpus/fanouts.  From Willem de Bruijn and Eric
      Dumazet.

  15) Add support for new payload offset BPF instruction, from Daniel
      Borkmann.

  16) Convert several drivers over to mdoule_platform_driver(), from
      Sachin Kamat.

  17) Provide a minimal BPF JIT image disassembler userspace tool, from
      Daniel Borkmann.

  18) Rewrite F-RTO implementation in TCP to match the final
      specification of it in RFC4138 and RFC5682.  From Yuchung Cheng.

  19) Provide netlink socket diag of netlink sockets ("Yo dawg, I hear
      you like netlink, so I implemented netlink dumping of netlink
      sockets.") From Andrey Vagin.

  20) Remove ugly passing of rtnetlink attributes into rtnl_doit
      functions, from Thomas Graf.

  21) Allow userspace to be able to see if a configuration change occurs
      in the middle of an address or device list dump, from Nicolas
      Dichtel.

  22) Support RFC3168 ECN protection for ipv6 fragments, from Hannes
      Frederic Sowa.

  23) Increase accuracy of packet length used by packet scheduler, from
      Jason Wang.

  24) Beginning set of changes to make ipv4/ipv6 fragment handling more
      scalable and less susceptible to overload and locking contention,
      from Jesper Dangaard Brouer.

  25) Get rid of using non-type-safe NLMSG_* macros and use nlmsg_*()
      instead.  From Hong Zhiguo.

  26) Optimize route usage in IPVS by avoiding reference counting where
      possible, from Julian Anastasov.

  27) Convert IPVS schedulers to RCU, also from Julian Anastasov.

  28) Support cpu fanouts in xt_NFQUEUE netfilter target, from Holger
      Eitzenberger.

  29) Network namespace support for nf_log, ebt_log, xt_LOG, ipt_ULOG,
      nfnetlink_log, and nfnetlink_queue.  From Gao feng.

  30) Implement RFC3168 ECN protection, from Hannes Frederic Sowa.

  31) Support several new r8169 chips, from Hayes Wang.

  32) Support tokenized interface identifiers in ipv6, from Daniel
      Borkmann.

  33) Use usbnet_link_change() helper in USB net driver, from Ming Lei.

  34) Add 802.1ad vlan offload support, from Patrick McHardy.

  35) Support mmap() based netlink communication, also from Patrick
      McHardy.

  36) Support HW timestamping in mlx4 driver, from Amir Vadai.

  37) Rationalize AF_PACKET packet timestamping when transmitting, from
      Willem de Bruijn and Daniel Borkmann.

  38) Bring parity to what's provided by /proc/net/packet socket dumping
      and the info provided by netlink socket dumping of AF_PACKET
      sockets.  From Nicolas Dichtel.

  39) Fix peeking beyond zero sized SKBs in AF_UNIX, from Benjamin
      Poirier"
