  • Pull networking changes from David Miller:

    1) GRE now works over ipv6, from Dmitry Kozlov.

    2) Make SCTP more network namespace aware, from Eric Biederman.

    3) TEAM driver now works with non-ethernet devices, from Jiri Pirko.

    4) Make openvswitch network namespace aware, from Pravin B Shelar.

    5) IPV6 NAT implementation, from Patrick McHardy.

    6) Server side support for TCP Fast Open, from Jerry Chu and others.

    7) Packet BPF filter supports MOD and XOR, from Eric Dumazet and Daniel
    Borkmann.

    8) Increate the loopback default MTU to 64K, from Eric Dumazet.

    9) Use a per-task rather than per-socket page fragment allocator for
    outgoing networking traffic. This benefits processes that have very
    many mostly idle sockets, which is quite common.

    From Eric Dumazet.

    10) Use up to 32K for page fragment allocations, with fallbacks to
    smaller sizes when higher order page allocations fail. Benefits are
    a) less segments for driver to process b) less calls to page
    allocator c) less waste of space.

    From Eric Dumazet.

    11) Allow GRO to be used on GRE tunnels, from Eric Dumazet.

    12) VXLAN device driver, one way to handle VLAN issues such as the
    limitation of 4096 VLAN IDs yet still have some level of isolation.
    From Stephen Hemminger.

    13) As usual there is a large boatload of driver changes, with the scale
    perhaps tilted towards the wireless side this time around.

    Fix up various fairly trivial conflicts, mostly caused by the user
    namespace changes.

  • Removed an unused macro. Plus, couple of grammatical and coding style fixes.

    1) The macro _INLINE is not used anywhere. Anyways __inline is not portable.
    2) Changed comment from "Not use" to "Unused" make it grammatically correct and
    to fit in 80 word limit.
    3.) Removed space after *

  • This structure needs to always stick around, even if CONFIG_HOTPLUG
    is disabled, otherwise we can oops when trying to probe a device that
    was added after the structure is thrown away.

    Thanks to Fengguang Wu and Bjørn Mork for tracking this issue down.

  • Remove the control.sta pointer from ieee80211_tx_info to free up
    sufficient space in the TX skb control buffer for the upcoming
    Transmit Power Control (TPC).
    Instead, the pointer is now on the stack in a new control struct
    that is passed as a function parameter to the drivers' tx method.

  • This converts the drivers in drivers/staging/* to use the
    module_usb_driver() macro which makes the code smaller and a bit
    simpler.

    Added bonus is that it removes some unneeded kernel log messages about
    drivers loading and/or unloading.

  • The return value of the tx operation is commonly
    misused by drivers, leading to errors. All drivers
    will drop frames if they fail to TX the frame, and
    they must also properly manage the queues (if they
    didn't, mac80211 would already warn).

    Removing the ability for drivers to return a BUSY
    value also allows significant cleanups of the TX
    TX handling code in mac80211.

    Note that this also fixes a bug in ath9k_htc, the
    old "return -1" there was wrong.
