Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next
Pull networking updates from David Miller:
"Highlights:
1) Steady transitioning of the BPF instructure to a generic spot so
all kernel subsystems can make use of it, from Alexei Starovoitov.
2) SFC driver supports busy polling, from Alexandre Rames.
3) Take advantage of hash table in UDP multicast delivery, from David
Held.
4) Lighten locking, in particular by getting rid of the LRU lists, in
inet frag handling. From Florian Westphal.
5) Add support for various RFC6458 control messages in SCTP, from
Geir Ola Vaagland.
6) Allow to filter bridge forwarding database dumps by device, from
Jamal Hadi Salim.
7) virtio-net also now supports busy polling, from Jason Wang.
8) Some low level optimization tweaks in pktgen from Jesper Dangaard
Brouer.
9) Add support for ipv6 address generation modes, so that userland
can have some input into the process. From Jiri Pirko.
10) Consolidate common TCP connection request code in ipv4 and ipv6,
from Octavian Purdila.
11) New ARP packet logger in netfilter, from Pablo Neira Ayuso.
12) Generic resizable RCU hash table, with intial users in netlink and
nftables. From Thomas Graf.
13) Maintain a name assignment type so that userspace can see where a
network device name came from (enumerated by kernel, assigned
explicitly by userspace, etc.) From Tom Gundersen.
14) Automatic flow label generation on transmit in ipv6, from Tom
Herbert.
15) New packet timestamping facilities from Willem de Bruijn, meant to
assist in measuring latencies going into/out-of the packet
scheduler, latency from TCP data transmission to ACK, etc"
