Pull networking updates from David Miller:
1) Fix inaccuracies in network driver interface documentation, from Ben
Hutchings.
2) Fix handling of negative offsets in BPF JITs, from Jan Seiffert.
3) Compile warning, locking, and refcounting fixes in netfilter's
xt_CT, from Pablo Neira Ayuso.
4) phonet sendmsg needs to validate user length just like any other
datagram protocol, fix from Sasha Levin.
5) Ipv6 multicast code uses wrong loop index, from RongQing Li.
6) Link handling and firmware fixes in bnx2x driver from Yaniv Rosner
and Yuval Mintz.
7) mlx4 erroneously allocates 4 pages at a time, regardless of page
size, fix from Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo.
8) SCTP socket option wasn't extended in a backwards compatible way,
fix from Thomas Graf.
9) Add missing address change event emissions to bonding, from Shlomo
Pongratz.
10) /proc/net/dev regressed because it uses a private offset to track
where we are in the hash table, but this doesn't track the offset
pullback that the seq_file code does resulting in some entries being
missed in large dumps.
Fix from Eric Dumazet.
11) do_tcp_sendpage() unloads the send queue way too fast, because it
invokes tcp_push() when it shouldn't. Let the natural sequence
generated by the splice paths, and the assosciated MSG_MORE
settings, guide the tcp_push() calls.
Otherwise what goes out of TCP is spaghetti and doesn't batch
effectively into GSO/TSO clusters.
From Eric Dumazet.
12) Once we put a SKB into either the netlink receiver's queue or a
socket error queue, it can be consumed and freed up, therefore we
cannot touch it after queueing it like that.
Fixes from Eric Dumazet.
13) PPP has this annoying behavior in that for every transmit call it
immediately stops the TX queue, then calls down into the next layer
to transmit the PPP frame.
But if that next layer can take it immediately, it just un-stops the
TX queue right before returning from the transmit method.
Besides being useless work, it makes several facilities unusable, in
particular things like the equalizers. Well behaved devices should
only stop the TX queue when they really are full, and in PPP's case
when it gets backlogged to the downstream device.
David Woodhouse therefore fixed PPP to not stop the TX queue until
it's downstream can't take data any more.
14) IFF_UNICAST_FLT got accidently lost in some recent stmmac driver
changes, re-add. From Marc Kleine-Budde.
15) Fix link flaps in ixgbe, from Eric W. Multanen.
16) Descriptor writeback fixes in e1000e from Matthew Vick.
