 "Highlights:

   1) Support more Realtek wireless chips, from Jes Sorenson.

   2) New BPF types for per-cpu hash and arrap maps, from Alexei
      Starovoitov.

   3) Make several TCP sysctls per-namespace, from Nikolay Borisov.

   4) Allow the use of SO_REUSEPORT in order to do per-thread processing
   of incoming TCP/UDP connections.  The muxing can be done using a
   BPF program which hashes the incoming packet.  From Craig Gallek.

   5) Add a multiplexer for TCP streams, to provide a messaged based
      interface.  BPF programs can be used to determine the message
      boundaries.  From Tom Herbert.

   6) Add 802.1AE MACSEC support, from Sabrina Dubroca.

   7) Avoid factorial complexity when taking down an inetdev interface
      with lots of configured addresses.  We were doing things like
      traversing the entire address less for each address removed, and
      flushing the entire netfilter conntrack table for every address as
      well.

   8) Add and use SKB bulk free infrastructure, from Jesper Brouer.

   9) Allow offloading u32 classifiers to hardware, and implement for
      ixgbe, from John Fastabend.

  10) Allow configuring IRQ coalescing parameters on a per-queue basis,
      from Kan Liang.

  11) Extend ethtool so that larger link mode masks can be supported.
      From David Decotigny.

  12) Introduce devlink, which can be used to configure port link types
      (ethernet vs Infiniband, etc.), port splitting, and switch device
      level attributes as a whole.  From Jiri Pirko.

  13) Hardware offload support for flower classifiers, from Amir Vadai.

  14) Add "Local Checksum Offload".  Basically, for a tunneled packet
      the checksum of the outer header is 'constant' (because with the
      checksum field filled into the inner protocol header, the payload
      of the outer frame checksums to 'zero'), and we can take advantage
      of that in various ways.  From Edward Cree"

llcp_sock_getname() checks llcp_sock-&gt;dev to make sure
llcp_sock is already connected or bound, however, we could
be in the middle of llcp_sock_bind() where llcp_sock-&gt;dev
is bound and llcp_sock-&gt;service_name_len is set,
but llcp_sock-&gt;service_name is not, in this case we would
lead to copy some bytes from a NULL pointer.

Just lock the sock since this is not a hot path anyway.

====================
NFC 4.5 pull request

This is the first NFC pull request for 4.5 and it brings:

- A new driver for the STMicroelectronics ST95HF NFC chipset.
  The ST95HF is an NFC digital transceiver with an embedded analog
  front-end and as such relies on the Linux NFC digital
  implementation. This is the 3rd user of the NFC digital stack.

- ACPI support for the ST st-nci and st21nfca drivers.

- A small improvement for the nfcsim driver, as we can now tune
  the Rx delay through sysfs.

- A bunch of minor cleanups and small fixes from Christophe Ricard,
  for a few drivers and the NFC core code.

<id>9cd3e072b0be17446e37d7414eac8a3499e0601e</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch is a cleanup to make following patch easier to
review.

Goal is to move SOCK_ASYNC_NOSPACE and SOCK_ASYNC_WAITDATA
from (struct socket)-&gt;flags to a (struct socket_wq)-&gt;flags
to benefit from RCU protection in sock_wake_async()

To ease backports, we rename both constants.

Two new helpers, sk_set_bit(int nr, struct sock *sk)
and sk_clear_bit(int net, struct sock *sk) are added so that
following patch can change their implementation.
