Pull networking fixes from David Miller:

 1) Lots more phydev and probe error path leaks in various drivers by
    Johan Hovold.

 2) Fix race in packet_set_ring(), from Philip Pettersson.

 3) Use after free in dccp_invalid_packet(), from Eric Dumazet.

 4) Signnedness overflow in SO_{SND,RCV}BUFFORCE, also from Eric
    Dumazet.

 5) When tunneling between ipv4 and ipv6 we can be left with the wrong
    skb-&gt;protocol value as we enter the IPSEC engine and this causes all
    kinds of problems. Set it before the output path does any
    dst_output() calls, from Eli Cooper.

 6) bcmgenet uses wrong device struct pointer in DMA API calls, fix from
    Florian Fainelli.

 7) Various netfilter nat bug fixes from FLorian Westphal.

 8) Fix memory leak in ipvlan_link_new(), from Gao Feng.

 9) Locking fixes, particularly wrt. socket lookups, in l2tp from
    Guillaume Nault.

10) Avoid invoking rhash teardowns in atomic context by moving netlink
    cb-&gt;done() dump completion from a worker thread. Fix from Herbert
    Xu.

11) Buffer refcount problems in tun and macvtap on errors, from Jason
    Wang.

12) We don't set Kconfig symbol DEFAULT_TCP_CONG properly when the user
    selects BBR. Fix from Julian Wollrath.

13) Fix deadlock in transmit path on altera TSE driver, from Lino
    Sanfilippo.

14) Fix unbalanced reference counting in dsa_switch_tree, from Nikita
    Yushchenko.

15) tc_tunnel_key needs to be properly exported to userspace via uapi,
    fix from Roi Dayan.

16) rds_tcp_init_net() doesn't unregister notifier in error path, fix
    from Sowmini Varadhan.

17) Stale packet header pointer access after pskb_expand_head() in
    genenve driver, fix from Sabrina Dubroca.

geneve{,6}_build_skb can end up doing a pskb_expand_head(), which
makes the ip_hdr(skb) reference we stashed earlier stale. Since it's
only needed as an argument to ip_tunnel_ecn_encap(), move this
directly in the function call.

__bcmgenet_tx_reclaim() and bcmgenet_free_rx_buffers() are not using the
same struct device during unmap that was used for the map operation,
which makes DMA-API debugging warn about it. Fix this by always using
&amp;priv-&gt;pdev-&gt;dev throughout the driver, using an identical device
reference for all map/unmap calls.

<content type='text'>
Commit bfe9b9d2df66 ("cdc_ether: Improve ZTE MF823/831/910 handling")
introduced a work-around in usbnet_cdc_status() for devices that exported
cdc carrier on twice on connect. Before the commit, this behavior caused
the link state to be incorrect. It was assumed that all CDC Ethernet
devices would either export this behavior, or send one off and then one on
notification (which seems to be the default behavior).

Unfortunately, it turns out multiple devices sends a connection
notification multiple times per second (via an interrupt), even when
connection state does not change. This has been observed with several
different USB LAN dongles (at least), for example 13b1:0041 (Linksys).
After bfe9b9d2df66, the link state has been set as down and then up for
each notification. This has caused a flood of Netlink NEWLINK messages and
syslog to be flooded with messages similar to:

cdc_ether 2-1:2.0 eth1: kevent 12 may have been dropped

This commit fixes the behavior by reverting usbnet_cdc_status() to how it
was before bfe9b9d2df66. The work-around has been moved to a separate
status-function which is only called when a known, affect device is
detected.

v1-&gt;v2:

* Do not open-code netif_carrier_ok() (thanks Henning Schild).
* Call netif_carrier_off() instead of usb_link_change(). This prevents
calling schedule_work() twice without giving the work queue a chance to be
processed (thanks Bjørn Mork).

Commit bfe9b9d2df66 ("cdc_ether: Improve ZTE MF823/831/910 handling")
introduced a work-around in usbnet_cdc_status() for devices that exported
cdc carrier on twice on connect. Before the commit, this behavior caused
the link state to be incorrect. It was assumed that all CDC Ethernet
devices would either export this behavior, or send one off and then one on
notification (which seems to be the default behavior).

Unfortunately, it turns out multiple devices sends a connection
notification multiple times per second (via an interrupt), even when
connection state does not change. This has been observed with several
different USB LAN dongles (at least), for example 13b1:0041 (Linksys).
