Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
 "Sorry I let so much accumulate, I was in Buffalo and wanted a few
  things to cook in my tree for a while before sending to you.  Anyways,
  it's a lot of little things as usual at this stage in the game"

 1) Make bonding MAINTAINERS entry reflect reality, from Andy
    Gospodarek.

 2) Fix accidental sock_put() on timewait mini sockets, from Eric
    Dumazet.

 3) Fix crashes in l2tp due to mis-handling of ipv4 mapped ipv6
    addresses, from François CACHEREUL.

 4) Fix heap overflow in __audit_sockaddr(), from the eagle eyed Dan
    Carpenter.

 5) tcp_shifted_skb() doesn't take handle FINs properly, from Eric
    Dumazet.

 6) SFC driver bug fixes from Ben Hutchings.

 7) Fix TX packet scheduling wedge after channel change in ath9k driver,
    from Felix Fietkau.

 8) Fix user after free in BPF JIT code, from Alexei Starovoitov.

 9) Source address selection test is reversed in
    __ip_route_output_key(), fix from Jiri Benc.

10) VLAN and CAN layer mis-size netlink attributes, from Marc
    Kleine-Budde.

11) Fix permission checks in sysctls to use current_euid() instead of
    current_uid().  From Eric W Biederman.

12) IPSEC policies can go away while a timer is still pending for them,
    add appropriate ref-counting to fix, from Steffen Klassert.

13) Fix mis-programming of FDR and RMCR registers on R8A7740 sh_eth
    chips, from Nguyen Hong Ky and Simon Horman.

14) MLX4 forgets to DMA unmap pages on RX, fix from Amir Vadai.

15) IPV6 GRE tunnel MTU upper limit is miscalculated, from Oussama
    Ghorbel.

16) Fix typo in fq_change(), we were assigning "initial quantum" to
    "quantum".  From Eric Dumazet.

17) Set a more appropriate sk_pacing_rate for non-TCP sockets, otherwise
    FQ packet scheduler does not pace those flows properly.  Also from
    Eric Dumazet.

18) rtlwifi miscalculates packet pointers, from Mark Cave-Ayland.

19) l2tp_xmit_skb() can be called from process context, not just softirq
    context, so we must always make sure to BH disable around it.  From
    Eric Dumazet.

20) On qdisc reset, we forget to purge the RB tree of SKBs in netem
    packet scheduler.  From Stephen Hemminger.

21) Fix info leak in farsync WAN driver ioctl() handler, from Dan
    Carpenter and Salva Peiró.

22) Fix PHY reset and other issues in dm9000 driver, from Nikita
    Kiryanov and Michael Abbott.

23) When hardware can do SCTP crc32 checksums, we accidently don't
    disable the csum offload when IPSEC transformations have been
    applied.  From Fan Du and Vlad Yasevich.

24) Tail loss probing in TCP leaves the socket in the wrong congestion
    avoidance state.  From Yuchung Cheng.

25) In CPSW driver, enable NAPI before interrupts are turned on, from
    Markus Pargmann.

26) Integer underflow and dual-assignment in YAM hamradio driver, from
    Dan Carpenter.

27) If we are going to mangle a packet in tcp_set_skb_tso_segs() we must
    unclone it.  This fixes various hard to track down crashes in
    drivers where the SKBs -&gt;gso_segs was changing right from underneath
    the driver during TX queueing.  From Eric Dumazet.

28) Fix the handling of VLAN IDs, and in particular the special IDs 0
    and 4095, in the bridging layer.  From Toshiaki Makita.

29) Another info leak, this time in wanxl WAN driver, from Salva Peiró.

30) Fix race in socket credential passing, from Daniel Borkmann.

31) WHen NETLABEL is disabled, we don't validate CIPSO packets properly,
    from Seif Mazareeb.

32) Fix identification of fragmented frames in ipv4/ipv6 UDP
    Fragmentation Offload output paths, from Jiri Pirko.

33) Virtual Function fixes in bnx2x driver from Yuval Mintz and Ariel
    Elior.

34) When we removed the explicit neighbour pointer from ipv6 routes a
    slight regression was introduced for users such as IPVS, xt_TEE, and
    raw sockets.  We mix up the users requested destination address with
    the routes assigned nexthop/gateway.  From Julian Anastasov and
    Simon Horman.

35) Fix stack overruns in rt6_probe(), the issue is that can end up
    doing two full packet xmit paths at the same time when emitting
    neighbour discovery messages.  From Hannes Frederic Sowa.

36) davinci_emac driver doesn't handle IFF_ALLMULTI correctly, from
    Mariusz Ceier.

37) Make sure to set TCP sk_pacing_rate after the first legitimate RTT
    sample, from Neal Cardwell.

38) Wrong netlink attribute passed to xfrm_replay_verify_len(), from
    Steffen Klassert.

<content type='text'>
When the MM code is invalidating a range of pages, it calls the KVM
kvm_mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start() notifier function, which calls
kvm_unmap_hva_range(), which arranges to flush all the TLBs for guest pages.
However, the Linux PTEs for the range being flushed are still valid at
that point.  We are not supposed to establish any new references to pages
in the range until the ...range_end() notifier gets called.
The PPC-specific KVM code doesn't get any explicit notification of that;
instead, we are supposed to use mmu_notifier_retry() to test whether we
are or have been inside a range flush notifier pair while we have been
referencing a page.

This patch calls the mmu_notifier_retry() while mapping the guest
page to ensure we are not referencing a page when in range invalidation.

This call is inside a region locked with kvm-&gt;mmu_lock, which is the
same lock that is called by the KVM MMU notifier functions, thus
ensuring that no new notification can proceed while we are in the
locked region.

This fixes a typo in the code that saves the guest DSCR (Data Stream
Control Register) into the kvm_vcpu_arch struct on guest exit.  The
effect of the typo was that the DSCR value was saved in the wrong place,
so changes to the DSCR by the guest didn't persist across guest exit
and entry, and some host kernel memory got corrupted.

<title>powerpc/irq: Don't switch to irq stack from softirq stack</title>

<id>8b5ede69d24db939f52b47effff2f6fe1e83e08b</id>
<content type='text'>
irq_exit() is now called on the irq stack, which can trigger a switch to
the softirq stack from the irq stack.  If an interrupt happens at that
point, we will not properly detect the re-entrancy and clobber the
original return context on the irq stack.

This fixes it.  The side effect is to prevent all nesting from softirq
stack to irq stack even in the "safe" case but it's simpler that way and
matches what x86_64 does.

<title>powerpc/tm: Switch out userspace PPR and DSCR sooner</title>

<content type='text'>
When we do a treclaim or trecheckpoint we end up running with userspace
PPR and DSCR values.  Currently we don't do anything special to avoid
running with user values which could cause a severe performance
degradation.

This patch moves the PPR and DSCR save and restore around treclaim and
trecheckpoint so that we run with user values for a much shorter period.
More care is taken with the PPR as it's impact is greater than the DSCR.

This is similar to user exceptions, where we run HTM_MEDIUM early to
ensure that we don't run with a userspace PPR values in the kernel.

We can't take IRQs in tm_reclaim as we might have a bogus r13 and r1.

This turns IRQs hard off in this function.

<title>powerpc/perf: Fix handling of FAB events</title>

<id>a53b27b3abeef406de92a2bb0ceb6fb4c3fb8fc4</id>
<content type='text'>
Commit 4df4899 "Add power8 EBB support" included a bug in the handling
of the FAB_CRESP_MATCH and FAB_TYPE_MATCH fields.

These values are pulled out of the event code using EVENT_THR_CTL_SHIFT,
however we were then or'ing that value directly into MMCR1.

This meant we were failing to set the FAB fields correctly, and also
potentially corrupting the value for PMC4SEL. Leading to no counts for
the FAB events and incorrect counts for PMC4.

The fix is simply to shift left the FAB value correctly before or'ing it
with MMCR1.
