Pull networking updates from David Miller:
 "Another merge window, another set of networking changes.  I've heard
  rumblings that the lightweight tunnels infrastructure has been voted
  networking change of the year.  But what do I know?

   1) Add conntrack support to openvswitch, from Joe Stringer.

   2) Initial support for VRF (Virtual Routing and Forwarding), which
      allows the segmentation of routing paths without using multiple
      devices.  There are some semantic kinks to work out still, but
      this is a reasonably strong foundation.  From David Ahern.

   3) Remove spinlock fro act_bpf fast path, from Alexei Starovoitov.

   4) Ignore route nexthops with a link down state in ipv6, just like
      ipv4.  From Andy Gospodarek.

   5) Remove spinlock from fast path of act_gact and act_mirred, from
      Eric Dumazet.

   6) Document the DSA layer, from Florian Fainelli.

   7) Add netconsole support to bcmgenet, systemport, and DSA.  Also
      from Florian Fainelli.

   8) Add Mellanox Switch Driver and core infrastructure, from Jiri
      Pirko.

   9) Add support for "light weight tunnels", which allow for
      encapsulation and decapsulation without bearing the overhead of a
      full blown netdevice.  From Thomas Graf, Jiri Benc, and a cast of
      others.

  10) Add Identifier Locator Addressing support for ipv6, from Tom
      Herbert.

  11) Support fragmented SKBs in iwlwifi, from Johannes Berg.

  12) Allow perf PMUs to be accessed from eBPF programs, from Kaixu Xia.

  13) Add BQL support to 3c59x driver, from Loganaden Velvindron.

  14) Stop using a zero TX queue length to mean that a device shouldn't
      have a qdisc attached, use an explicit flag instead.  From Phil
      Sutter.

  15) Use generic geneve netdevice infrastructure in openvswitch, from
      Pravin B Shelar.

  16) Add infrastructure to avoid re-forwarding a packet in software
      that was already forwarded by a hardware switch.  From Scott
      Feldman.

  17) Allow AF_PACKET fanout function to be implemented in a bpf
      program, from Willem de Bruijn"

commit 2c86c275015c ("Add ipw2100 wireless driver.") introduced
HW_PHY_OFF_LOOP_DELAY (HZ / 5000) which always evaluated to 0. Clarified

Johannes Berg says:

====================
Lots of updates for net-next; along with the usual flurry
of small fixes, cleanups and internal features we have:
 * VHT support for TDLS and IBSS (conditional on drivers though)
 * first TX performance improvements (the biggest will come later)
 * many suspend/resume (race) fixes
 * name_assign_type support from Tom Gundersen

<title>cfg80211-wext: export symbols only when needed</title>

<id>2afe38d15cee01b2bb8f22383571f7f4a95f2d99</id>
<content type='text'>
When a fully converted cfg80211 driver needs cfg80211-wext for
userspace API purposes, the symbols need not be exported. When
other drivers (orinoco/hermes or ipw2200) are enabled, they do
need the symbols exported as they use them directly.

Make those drivers select a new CFG80211_WEXT_EXPORT Kconfig
symbol (instead of just CFG80211_WEXT) and export the functions
only if requested - this saves about 1/2k due to the size of
EXPORT_SYMBOL() itself.

Commit 24a0aa212ee2 ("cfg80211: make WEXT compatibility unselectable")
made it impossible to depend on CFG80211_WEXT. It does still allow to
select that symbol. (Yes, the commit summary is confusing.)

So make IPW2200 select CFG80211_WEXT, so that the ipw2200 driver can be
enabled in config again.

The original condition was "(PAGE_SIZE - len)" when "(len &lt; PAGE_SIZE)"
is intended.

This condition is not really sufficient, but also not really needed...
If "len &gt; PAGE_SIZE" then it we will print a warning message in dmesg
but there are no other effects.  Maybe we should just remove the
condition?

<title>ipw2x00: remove unused -&gt;ibss_dfs pointer</title>

<content type='text'>
The -&gt;ibss_dfs pointer is always allocated with a user controlled
length.  This caused a static checker warning because what if the length
was zero?  In that case, any dereference of -&gt;ibss_dfs would lead to an
Oops.

It turns out that this isn't a problem because the -&gt;ibss_dfs pointer is
never used.  This patch deletes it along with all the related code.  In
particular the entire libipw_network_reset() function can be removed.
