Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net
Pull networking fixes from David Miller: 1) Don't halt the firmware in r8152 driver, from Hayes Wang. 2) Handle full sized 802.1ad frames in bnx2 and tg3 drivers properly, from Vlad Yasevich. 3) Don't sleep while holding tx_clean_lock in netxen driver, fix from Manish Chopra. 4) Certain kinds of ipv6 routes can end up endlessly failing the route validation test, causing it to be re-looked up over and over again. This particularly kills input route caching in TCP sockets. Fix from Hannes Frederic Sowa. 5) netvsc_start_xmit() has a use-after-free access to skb->len, fix from K Y Srinivasan. 6) Fix matching of inverted containers in ematch module, from Ignacy Gawędzki. 7) Aggregation of GRO frames via SKB ->frag_list for linear skbs isn't handled properly, regression fix from Eric Dumazet. 8) Don't test return value of ipv4_neigh_lookup(), which returns an error pointer, against NULL. From WANG Cong. 9) Fix an old regression where we mistakenly allow a double add of the same tunnel. Fixes from Steffen Klassert. 10) macvtap device delete and open can run in parallel and corrupt lists etc., fix from Vlad Yasevich. 11) Fix build error with IPV6=m NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_TPROXY=y, from Pablo Neira Ayuso. 12) rhashtable_destroy() triggers lockdep splats, fix also from Pablo. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: (32 commits) bna: Update Maintainer Email r8152: disable power cut for RTL8153 r8152: remove clearing bp bnx2: Correctly receive full sized 802.1ad fragmes tg3: Allow for recieve of full-size 8021AD frames r8152: fix setting RTL8152_UNPLUG netxen: Fix bug in Tx completion path. netxen: Fix BUG "sleeping function called from invalid context" ipv6: remove rt6i_genid hyperv: Fix a bug in netvsc_start_xmit() net: stmmac: fix stmmac_pci_probe failed when CONFIG_HAVE_CLK is selected ematch: Fix matching of inverted containers. gro: fix aggregation for skb using frag_list neigh: check error pointer instead of NULL for ipv4_neigh_lookup() ip6_gre: Return an error when adding an existing tunnel. ip6_vti: Return an error when adding an existing tunnel. ip6_tunnel: Return an error when adding an existing tunnel. ip6gre: add a rtnl link alias for ip6gretap net/mlx4_core: Allow not to specify probe_vf in SRIOV IB mode r8152: fix the carrier off when autoresuming ...
