Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
 "Bug fixes galore, mostly in drivers as is often the case:

  1) USB gadget and cdc_eem drivers need adjustments to their frame size
     lengths in order to handle VLANs correctly.  From Ian Coolidge.

  2) TIPC and several network drivers erroneously call tasklet_disable
     before tasklet_kill, fix from Xiaotian Feng.

  3) r8169 driver needs to apply the WOL suspend quirk to more chipsets,
     fix from Cyril Brulebois.

  4) Fix multicast filters on RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_35 r8169 chips, from
     Nathan Walp.

  5) FDB netlink dumps should use RTM_NEWNEIGH as the message type, not
     zero.  From John Fastabend.

  6) Fix smsc95xx tx checksum offload on big-endian, from Steve
     Glendinning.

  7) __inet_diag_dump() needs to repsect and report the error value
     returned from inet_diag_lock_handler() rather than ignore it.
     Otherwise if an inet diag handler is not available for a particular
     protocol, we essentially report success instead of giving an error
     indication.  Fix from Cyrill Gorcunov.

  8) When the QFQ packet scheduler sees TSO/GSO packets it does not
     handle things properly, and in fact ends up corrupting it's
     datastructures as well as mis-schedule packets.  Fix from Paolo
     Valente.

  9) Fix oopser in skb_loop_sk(), from Eric Leblond.

  10) CXGB4 passes partially uninitialized datastructures in to FW
      commands, fix from Vipul Pandya.

  11) When we send unsolicited ipv6 neighbour advertisements, we should
      send them to the link-local allnodes multicast address, as per
      RFC4861.  Fix from Hannes Frederic Sowa.

  12) There is some kind of bug in the usbnet's kevent deferral
      mechanism, but more immediately when it triggers an uncontrolled
      stream of kernel messages spam the log.  Rate limit the error log
      message triggered when this problem occurs, as sending thousands
      of error messages into the kernel log doesn't help matters at all,
      and in fact makes further diagnosis more difficult.

      From Steve Glendinning.

  13) Fix gianfar restore from hibernation, from Wang Dongsheng.

  14) The netlink message attribute sizes are wrong in the ipv6 GRE
      driver, it was using the size of ipv4 addresses instead of ipv6
      ones :-) Fix from Nicolas Dichtel."

Due to a NULL dereference, the following patch is causing oops
in normal trafic condition:

commit c0de08d04215031d68fa13af36f347a6cfa252ca
Author: Eric Leblond &lt;eric@regit.org&gt;
Date:   Thu Aug 16 22:02:58 2012 +0000

    af_packet: don't emit packet on orig fanout group

This buggy patch was a feature fix and has reached most stable
branches.

When skb-&gt;sk is NULL and when packet fanout is used, there is a
crash in match_fanout_group where skb-&gt;sk is accessed.
This patch fixes the issue by returning false as soon as the
socket is NULL: this correspond to the wanted behavior because
the kernel as to resend the skb to all the listening socket in
this case.

<title>pkt_sched: enable QFQ to support TSO/GSO</title>

<id>3015f3d2a3cd9614294025849d3ed89fd2f3a7f5</id>
<content type='text'>
If the max packet size for some class (configured through tc) is
violated by the actual size of the packets of that class, then QFQ
would not schedule classes correctly, and the data structures
implementing the bucket lists may get corrupted. This problem occurs
with TSO/GSO even if the max packet size is set to the MTU, and is,
e.g., the cause of the failure reported in [1]. Two patches have been
proposed to solve this problem in [2], one of them is a preliminary
version of this patch.

This patch addresses the above issues by: 1) setting QFQ parameters to
proper values for supporting TSO/GSO (in particular, setting the
maximum possible packet size to 64KB), 2) automatically increasing the
max packet size for a class, lmax, when a packet with a larger size
than the current value of lmax arrives.

The drawback of the first point is that the maximum weight for a class
is now limited to 4096, which is equal to 1/16 of the maximum weight
sum.

Finally, this patch also forcibly caps the timestamps of a class if
they are too high to be stored in the bucket list. This capping, taken
from QFQ+ [3], handles the unfrequent case described in the comment to
the function slot_insert.

We've observed that in case if UDP diag module is not
supported in kernel the netlink returns NLMSG_DONE without
notifying a caller that handler is missed.

This patch makes __inet_diag_dump to return error code instead.

So as example it become possible to detect such situation
and handle it gracefully on userspace level.

   * State recovery can deadlock if we fail to release sequence ids
     before scheduling the recovery thread.
   * Calling deactivate_super() from an RPC workqueue thread can
     deadlock because of the call to rpc_shutdown_client.

 - Display the device name correctly in /proc/*/mounts

 - Fix a number of incorrect error return values:
   * When NFSv3 mounts fail due to a timeout.
   * On NFSv4.1 backchannel setup failure
   * On NFSv4 open access checks

 - pnfs_find_alloc_layout() must check the layout pointer for NULL

 - Fix a regression in the legacy DNS resolved

  NFS4: nfs4_opendata_access should return errno
  NFSv4: Initialise the NFSv4.1 slot table highest_used_slotid correctly

Change the dflt fdb dump handler to use RTM_NEWNEIGH to
be compatible with bridge dump routines.

The dump reply from the network driver handlers should
match the reply from bridge handler. The fact they were
not in the ixgbe case was effectively a bug. This patch
resolves it.

Applications that were not checking the nlmsg type will
continue to work. And now applications that do check
the type will work as expected.

If tasklet_disable() is called before related tasklet handled,
tasklet_kill will never be finished. tasklet_kill is enough.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
 "First post-Sandy pull request"

 1) Fix antenna gain handling and initialization of chan-&gt;max_reg_power
    in wireless, from Felix Fietkau.

 2) Fix nexthop handling in H.232 conntrack helper, from Julian
    Anastasov.

 3) Only process 80211 mesh config header in certain kinds of frames,
    from Javier Cardona.

 4) 80211 management frame header length needs to be validated, from
    Johannes Berg.

 5) Don't access free'd SKBs in ath9k driver, from Felix Fietkay.

 6) Test for permanent state correctly in VXLAN driver, from Stephen
    Hemminger.

 7) BNX2X bug fixes from Yaniv Rosner and Dmitry Kravkov.

 8) Fix off by one errors in bonding, from Nikolay ALeksandrov.

 9) Fix divide by zero in TCP-Illinois congestion control.  From Jesper
    Dangaard Brouer.

10) TCP metrics code says "Yo dawg, I heard you like sizeof, so I did a
    sizeof of a sizeof, so you can size your size" Fix from Julian
    Anastasov.

11) Several drivers do mdiobus_free without first doing an
    mdiobus_unregister leading to stray pointer references.  Fix from
    Peter Senna Tschudin.

12) Fix OOPS in l2tp_eth_create() error path, it's another danling
    pointer kinda situation.  Fix from Tom Parkin.

13) Hardware driven by the vmxnet driver can't handle larger than 16K
    fragments, so split them up when necessary.  From Eric Dumazet.

14) Handle zero length data length in tcp_send_rcvq() properly.  Fix
    from Pavel Emelyanov.
