Pull networking bugfixes from David Miller:
 "Several bug fixes rolling in, some for changes introduced in this
  merge window, and some for problems that have existed for some time:

  1) Fix prepare_to_wait() handling in AF_VSOCK, from Claudio Imbrenda.

  2) The new DST_CACHE should be a silent config option, from Dave
     Jones.

  3) inet_current_timestamp() unintentionally truncates timestamps to
     16-bit, from Deepa Dinamani.

  4) Missing reference to netns in ppp, from Guillaume Nault.

  5) Free memory reference in hv_netvsc driver, from Haiyang Zhang.

  6) Missing kernel doc documentation for function arguments in various
     spots around the networking, from Luis de Bethencourt.

  7) UDP stopped receiving broadcast packets properly, due to
     overzealous multicast checks, fix from Paolo Abeni"

Pull more rdma updates from Doug Ledford:
 "Round two of 4.6 merge window patches.

  This is a monster pull request.  I held off on the hfi1 driver updates
  (the hfi1 driver is intimately tied to the qib driver and the new
  rdmavt software library that was created to help both of them) in my
  first pull request.  The hfi1/qib/rdmavt update is probably 90% of
  this pull request.  The hfi1 driver is being left in staging so that
  it can be fixed up in regards to the API that Al and yourself didn't
  like.  Intel has agreed to do the work, but in the meantime, this
  clears out 300+ patches in the backlog queue and brings my tree and
  their tree closer to sync.

  This also includes about 10 patches to the core and a few to mlx5 to
  create an infrastructure for configuring SRIOV ports on IB devices.
  That series includes one patch to the net core that we sent to netdev@
  and Dave Miller with each of the three revisions to the series.  We
  didn't get any response to the patch, so we took that as implicit
  approval.

  Finally, this series includes Intel's new iWARP driver for their x722
  cards.  It's not nearly the beast as the hfi1 driver.  It also has a
  linux-next merge issue, but that has been resolved and it now passes
  just fine.

  Summary:

   - A few minor core fixups needed for the next patch series

   - The IB SRIOV series.  This has bounced around for several versions.
     Of note is the fact that the first patch in this series effects the
     net core.  It was directed to netdev and DaveM for each iteration
     of the series (three versions total).  Dave did not object, but did
     not respond either.  I've taken this as permission to move forward
     with the series.

   - The new Intel X722 iWARP driver

   - A huge set of updates to the Intel hfi1 driver.  Of particular
     interest here is that we have left the driver in staging since it
     still has an API that people object to.  Intel is working on a fix,
     but getting these patches in now helps keep me sane as the upstream
     and Intel's trees were over 300 patches apart"

Add two new NLAs to support configuration of Infiniband node or port
GUIDs. New applications can choose to use this interface to configure
GUIDs with iproute2 with commands such as:

ip link set dev ib0 vf 0 node_guid 00:02:c9:03:00:21:6e:70
ip link set dev ib0 vf 0 port_guid 00:02:c9:03:00:21:6e:78

A new ndo, ndo_sef_vf_guid is introduced to notify the net device of the
request to change the GUID.

It can be useful to report dev-&gt;gso_max_segs and dev-&gt;gso_max_size
so that "ip -d link" can display them to help debugging.

For the moment, these attributes are read-only.

the geneve dst cache does not need any special considerations, for the

Add a new address generator mode, using the stable address generator
with an automatically generated secret. This is intended as a default
address generator mode for device types with no EUI64 implementation.
The new generator is used for ARPHRD_NONE interfaces initially, adding
default IPv6 autoconf support to e.g. tun interfaces.

If the addrgenmode is set to 'random', either by default or manually,
and no stable secret is available, then a random secret is used as
input for the stable-privacy address generator.  The secret can be
read and modified like manually configured secrets, using the proc
interface.  Modifying the secret will change the addrgen mode to
'stable-privacy' to indicate that it operates on a known secret.

Existing behaviour of the 'stable-privacy' mode is kept unchanged. If
a known secret is available when the device is created, then the mode
will default to 'stable-privacy' as before.  The mode can be manually
set to 'random' but it will behave exactly like 'stable-privacy' in
this case. The secret will not change.
