Pull networking fixes from David Miller:

 1) Fix verifier memory corruption and other bugs in BPF layer, from
    Alexei Starovoitov.

 2) Add a conservative fix for doing BPF properly in the BPF classifier
    of the packet scheduler on ingress.  Also from Alexei.

 3) The SKB scrubber should not clear out the packet MARK and security
    label, from Herbert Xu.

 4) Fix oops on rmmod in stmmac driver, from Bryan O'Donoghue.

 5) Pause handling is not correct in the stmmac driver because it
    doesn't take into consideration the RX and TX fifo sizes.  From
    Vince Bridgers.

 6) Failure path missing unlock in FOU driver, from Wang Cong.

<content type='text'>
In commit 04ffcb255f22 ("net: Add ndo_gso_check") Tom originally
added the 'dev' argument to be able to call ndo_gso_check().

Then later, when generalizing this in commit 5f35227ea34b
("net: Generalize ndo_gso_check to ndo_features_check")
Jesse removed the call to ndo_gso_check() in netif_needs_gso()
by calling the new ndo_features_check() in a different place.
This made the 'dev' argument unused.

Remove the unused argument and go back to the code as before.

<title>net: Remove iocb argument from sendmsg and recvmsg</title>

After TIPC doesn't depend on iocb argument in its internal
implementations of sendmsg() and recvmsg() hooks defined in proto
structure, no any user is using iocb argument in them at all now.
Then we can drop the redundant iocb argument completely from kinds of
implementations of both sendmsg() and recvmsg() in the entire
networking stack.

<title>macvtap: make sure neighbour code can push ethernet header</title>

Brian reported crashes using IPv6 traffic with macvtap/veth combo.

I tracked the crashes in neigh_hh_output()

-&gt; memcpy(skb-&gt;data - HH_DATA_MOD, hh-&gt;hh_data, HH_DATA_MOD);

Neighbour code assumes headroom to push Ethernet header is
at least 16 bytes.

It appears macvtap has only 14 bytes available on arches
where NET_IP_ALIGN is 0 (like x86)

Effect is a corruption of 2 bytes right before skb-&gt;head,
and possible crashes if accessing non existing memory.

This fix should also increase IPv4 performance, as paranoid code
in ip_finish_output2() wont have to call skb_realloc_headroom()

Conflicts:

	include/linux/if_vlan.h
	net/core/dev.c

The net/core/dev.c conflict was the overlap of one commit marking an
existing function static whilst another was adding a new function.

In the include/linux/if_vlan.h case, the type used for a local
variable was changed in 'net', whereas the function got rewritten
to fix a stacked vlan bug in 'net-next'.

In drivers/vhost/net.c, Al Viro's iov_iter conversions in 'net-next'
overlapped with an endainness fix for VHOST 1.0 in 'net'.

In drivers/net/vxlan.c, vxlan_find_vni() added a 'flags' parameter
in 'net-next' whereas in 'net' there was a bug fix to pass in the
correct network namespace pointer in calls to this function.

Now that GSO functionality can correctly track if the fragment

we can re-enable UFO on tap/macvap and virtio devices.

This reverts commit 5188cd44c55db3e92cd9e77a40b5baa7ed4340f7.

Now that GSO layer can track if fragment id has been selected
and can allocate one if necessary, we don't need to do this in
tap and macvtap.  This reverts most of the code and only keeps
the new ipv6 fragment id generation function that is still needed.
