Pull documentation update from Jonathan Corbet:
 "These are the documentation changes for 4.10.

  It's another busy cycle for the docs tree, as the sphinx conversion
  continues. Highlights include:

   - Further work on PDF output, which remains a bit of a pain but
     should be more solid now.

   - Five more DocBook template files converted to Sphinx. Only 27 to
     go... Lots of plain-text files have also been converted and
     integrated.

   - Images in binary formats have been replaced with more
     source-friendly versions.

   - Various bits of organizational work, including the renaming of
     various files discussed at the kernel summit.

   - New documentation for the device_link mechanism.

  ... and, of course, lots of typo fixes and small updates"

net: l2tp: deprecate PPPOL2TP_MSG_* in favour of L2TP_MSG_*

2016-12-11T04:29:11+00:00

PPPOL2TP_MSG_* and L2TP_MSG_* are duplicates, and are being used
interchangeably in the kernel, so let's standardize on L2TP_MSG_*
internally, and keep PPPOL2TP_MSG_* defined in UAPI for compatibility.

net: smmac: allow configuring lower pbl values

2016-12-08T18:07:10+00:00

The driver currently always sets the PBLx8/PBLx4 bit, which means that
the pbl values configured via the pbl/txpbl/rxpbl DT properties are
always multiplied by 8/4 in the hardware.

In order to allow the DT to configure lower pbl values, while at the
same time not changing behavior of any existing device trees using the
pbl/txpbl/rxpbl settings, add a property to disable the multiplication
of the pbl by 8/4 in the hardware.

net: stmmac: add support for independent DMA pbl for tx/rx

2016-12-08T18:07:10+00:00

GMAC and newer supports independent programmable burst lengths for
DMA tx/rx. Add new optional devicetree properties representing this.

To be backwards compatible, snps,pbl will still be valid, but
snps,txpbl/snps,rxpbl will override the value in snps,pbl if set.

If the IP is synthesized to use the AXI interface, there is a register
and a matching DT property inside the optional stmmac-axi-config DT node
for controlling burst lengths, named snps,blen.
However, using this register, it is not possible to control tx and rx
independently. Also, this register is not available if the IP was
synthesized with, e.g., the AHB interface.

====================
Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next

The following patchset contains a large Netfilter update for net-next,
to summarise:

1) Add support for stateful objects. This series provides a nf_tables
   native alternative to the extended accounting infrastructure for
   nf_tables. Two initial stateful objects are supported: counters and
   quotas. Objects are identified by a user-defined name, you can fetch
   and reset them anytime. You can also use a maps to allow fast lookups
   using any arbitrary key combination. More info at:

   http://marc.info/?l=netfilter-devel&m=148029128323837&w=2

2) On-demand registration of nf_conntrack and defrag hooks per netns.
   Register nf_conntrack hooks if we have a stateful ruleset, ie.
   state-based filtering or NAT. The new nf_conntrack_default_on sysctl
   enables this from newly created netnamespaces. Default behaviour is not
   modified. Patches from Florian Westphal.

3) Allocate 4k chunks and then use these for x_tables counter allocation
   requests, this improves ruleset load time and also datapath ruleset
   evaluation, patches from Florian Westphal.

4) Add support for ebpf to the existing x_tables bpf extension.
   From Willem de Bruijn.

5) Update layer 4 checksum if any of the pseudoheader fields is updated.
   This provides a limited form of 1:1 stateless NAT that make sense in
   specific scenario, eg. load balancing.

6) Add support to flush sets in nf_tables. This series comes with a new
   set->ops->deactivate_one() indirection given that we have to walk
   over the list of set elements, then deactivate them one by one.
   The existing set->ops->deactivate() performs an element lookup that
   we don't need.

7) Two patches to avoid cloning packets, thus speed up packet forwarding
   via nft_fwd from ingress. From Florian Westphal.

8) Two IPVS patches via Simon Horman: Decrement ttl in all modes to
   prevent infinite loops, patch from Dwip Banerjee. And one minor
   refactoring from Gao feng.

9) Revisit recent log support for nf_tables netdev families: One patch
   to ensure that we correctly handle non-ethernet packets. Another
   patch to add missing logger definition for netdev. Patches from
   Liping Zhang.

10) Three patches for nft_fib, one to address insufficient register
    initialization and another to solve incorrect (although harmless)
    byteswap operation. Moreover update xt_rpfilter and nft_fib to match
    lbcast packets with zeronet as source, eg. DHCP Discover packets
    (0.0.0.0 -> 255.255.255.255). Also from Liping Zhang.

11) Built-in DCCP, SCTP and UDPlite conntrack and NAT support, from
    Davide Caratti. While DCCP is rather hopeless lately, and UDPlite has
    been broken in many-cast mode for some little time, let's give them a
    chance by placing them at the same level as other existing protocols.
    Thus, users don't explicitly have to modprobe support for this and
    NAT rules work for them. Some people point to the lack of support in
    SOHO Linux-based routers that make deployment of new protocols harder.
    I guess other middleboxes outthere on the Internet are also to blame.
    Anyway, let's see if this has any impact in the midrun.

12) Skip software SCTP software checksum calculation if the NIC comes
    with SCTP checksum offload support. From Davide Caratti.

13) Initial core factoring to prepare conversion to hook array. Three
    patches from Aaron Conole.

14) Gao Feng made a wrong conversion to switch in the xt_multiport
    extension in a patch coming in the previous batch. Fix it in this
    batch.

15) Get vmalloc call in sync with kmalloc flags to avoid a warning
    and likely OOM killer intervention from x_tables. From Marcelo
    Ricardo Leitner.

16) Update Arturo Borrero's email address in all source code headers.

netfilter: conntrack: add nf_conntrack_default_on sysctl

2016-12-04T20:17:25+00:00

This switch (default on) can be used to disable automatic registration
of connection tracking functionality in newly created network
namespaces.

This means that when net namespace goes down (or the tracker protocol
module is unloaded) we *might* have to unregister the hooks.

We can either add another per-netns variable that tells if
the hooks got registered by default, or, alternatively, just call
the protocol _put() function and have the callee deal with a possible
'extra' put() operation that doesn't pair with a get() one.

This uses the latter approach, i.e. a put() without a get has no effect.

Conntrack is still enabled automatically regardless of the new sysctl
setting if the new net namespace requires connection tracking, e.g. when
NAT rules are created.

ipv6 addrconf: Implemented enhanced DAD (RFC7527)

2016-12-04T04:21:37+00:00

Implemented RFC7527 Enhanced DAD.
IPv6 duplicate address detection can fail if there is some temporary
loopback of Ethernet frames. RFC7527 solves this by including a random
nonce in the NS messages used for DAD, and if an NS is received with the
same nonce it is assumed to be a looped back DAD probe and is ignored.
RFC7527 is enabled by default. Can be disabled by setting both of
conf/{all,interface}/enhanced_dad to zero.
