<content type='text'>
There is a discrepancy here because the niu_class_to_ethflow() returns
zero on failure and one on success but the caller expected zero on
success and negative on failure.

The problem means that we allow the user to pass classes and flow_types
which we don't want.  I've looked at it a bit and I don't see it as a
very serious bug.

This patch unclones an skb for the case where the sunvnet driver needs to
change the segmentation size so that it doesn't interfere with TCP SACK's
use of them.

Conflicts:
	drivers/net/vxlan.c
	drivers/vhost/net.c
	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.

This patch fixes a bug where vnet_skb_shape() didn't set the already-selected
queue mapping when a packet copy was required. This results in using the
wrong queue index for stops/starts, hung tx queues and watchdog timeouts
under heavy load.

<title>sunvnet: improve error handling when a remote crashes</title>

<id>8e2b60cd18381a2f102dc6157ea2481a9ddd0001</id>
<content type='text'>
If a remote machine crashes while there are pending transmit buffers, the
sunvnet driver reallocates the ring descriptors giving us enries that have
state VIO_DESC_FREE but also an allocated skb. This results in a BUG_ON()
call when the remote reboots and we reach that point in the ring.

This patch:

1) clears pending tx packets in the ring on port reset
2) changes a BUG_ON() to a pr_warn() when a remote host has given us an invalid
	descriptor state
3) collapses multiple active buffer frees in a ring to a single message per
	ring and adds the device name and remote MAC address

This fixes the particular problem of not cleaning up pending buffers on a
reset, but also prevents us from crashing if the remote handles descriptors
out of order or sets an unexpected state for a descriptor.

This patch moves the clearing of ring data in vnet_port_free_tx_bufs to after
 the freeing of pending buffers in the ring. Otherwise, this can result in
 dereferencing a NULL pointer.

<title>sunvnet: fix rx packet length check to allow for TSO</title>

<content type='text'>
This patch fixes the rx packet length check in the sunvnet driver to allow
for a TSO max packet length greater than the LDC channel negotiated MTU.
These are negotiated separately and there is no requirement that
port-&gt;tsolen be less than port-&gt;rmtu, but if it isn't, it'll drop packets
with rx length errors.
