Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
 "This looks like a lot but it's a mixture of regression fixes as well
  as fixes for longer standing issues.

   1) Fix on-channel cancellation in mac80211, from Johannes Berg.

   2) Handle CHECKSUM_COMPLETE properly in xt_TCPMSS netfilter xtables
      module, from Eric Dumazet.

   3) Avoid infinite loop in UDP SO_REUSEPORT logic, also from Eric
      Dumazet.

   4) Avoid a NULL deref if we try to set SO_REUSEPORT after a socket is
      bound, from Craig Gallek.

   5) GRO key comparisons don't take lightweight tunnels into account,
      from Jesse Gross.

   6) Fix struct pid leak via SCM credentials in AF_UNIX, from Eric
      Dumazet.

   7) We need to set the rtnl_link_ops of ipv6 SIT tunnels before we
      register them, otherwise the NEWLINK netlink message is missing
      the proper attributes.  From Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo.

   8) Several Spectrum chip bug fixes for mlxsw switch driver, from Ido
      Schimmel

   9) Handle fragments properly in ipv4 easly socket demux, from Eric
      Dumazet.

  10) Don't ignore the ifindex key specifier on ipv6 output route
      lookups, from Paolo Abeni"

<title>wcn36xx: handle rx skb allocation failure to avoid system crash</title>

Lawrence reported that git clone could make system crash on a
Qualcomm ARM soc based device (DragonBoard, 1G memory without
swap) running 64bit Debian.

It's turned out the crash is related with rx skb allocation
failure. git could consume more than 600MB anonymous memory.
And system is in extremely memory shortage case.

But driver didn't handle the rx allocation failure case. This patch
doesn't submit skb to upper layer if rx skb allocation fails.
Instead, it reuse the old skb for rx DMA again. It's more like
drop the packets if system is in memory shortage case.

With this change, git clone is OOMed instead of system crash.

Ath9k driver does not modify tx skbs, so SUPPORTS_CLONED_SKBS
flag can be set. Enabling this flag significant reduce number
of copy operation during TCP Tx. This is especially noticeable
on platforms with slower CPU (lower CPU usage brings
profits in better TCP Tx troughput results).

Tested on MIPS with 560 MHz clock
Without CLONED_SKBS flag:
TCP Tx 145 Mb/s (iperf result)
__copy_user_common consumes 12.9% of CPU (result from perf tool)
0% CPU Idle

With CLONED_SKBS flag:
TCP Tx 170 Mb/s (iperf result)
__copy_user_common consumes 1.8% of CPU (result from perf tool)
12% CPU Idle

<title>wil6210: support for platform specific crash recovery</title>

<content type='text'>
Added a simple interface for platform to perform crash
recovery.
When firmware crashes, wil driver can notify the platform
which can trigger a crash recovery process. During
the process the platform can request a ram dump
from the wil driver as well as control when firmware
recovery will start. This interface allows the platform
to implement a more advanced crash recovery, for
example to reset dependent subsystems in proper order, or
to provide its own notifications during the recovery process.

When network interface is stopping, some resources may
be already released by the network stack, and Rx frames
cause kernel OOPS (observed one is in netfilter code)

Proper solution is to drop packets pending in reorder buffer.
