Pull networking fixes from David Miller:

 1) Fix memory leaks and other issues in mwifiex driver, from Amitkumar
    Karwar.

 2) skb_segment() can choke on packets using frag lists, fix from
    Herbert Xu with help from Eric Dumazet and others.

 3) IPv4 output cached route instantiation properly handles races
    involving two threads trying to install the same route, but we
    forgot to propagate this logic to input routes as well.  Fix from
    Alexei Starovoitov.

 4) Put protections in place to make sure that recvmsg() paths never
    accidently copy uninitialized memory back into userspace and also
    make sure that we never try to use more that sockaddr_storage for
    building the on-kernel-stack copy of a sockaddr.  Fixes from Hannes
    Frederic Sowa.

 5) R8152 driver transmit flow bug fixes from Hayes Wang.

 6) Fix some minor fallouts from genetlink changes, from Johannes Berg
    and Michael Opdenacker.

 7) AF_PACKET sendmsg path can race with netdevice unregister notifier,
    fix by using RCU to make sure the network device doesn't go away
    from under us.  Fix from Daniel Borkmann.

<title>ipv4: fix race in concurrent ip_route_input_slow()</title>

CPUs can ask for local route via ip_route_input_noref() concurrently.
if nh_rth_input is not cached yet, CPUs will proceed to allocate
equivalent DSTs on 'lo' and then will try to cache them in nh_rth_input
via rt_cache_route()
Most of the time they succeed, but on occasion the following two lines:
	orig = *p;
	prev = cmpxchg(p, orig, rt);
in rt_cache_route() do race and one of the cpus fails to complete cmpxchg.
But ip_route_input_slow() doesn't check the return code of rt_cache_route(),
so dst is leaking. dst_destroy() is never called and 'lo' device
refcnt doesn't go to zero, which can be seen in the logs as:
	unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 1
Adding mdelay() between above two lines makes it easily reproducible.
Fix it similar to nh_pcpu_rth_output case.

Fixes: d2d68ba9fe8b ("ipv4: Cache input routes in fib_info nexthops.")

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
 "Mostly these are fixes for fallout due to merge window changes, as
  well as cures for problems that have been with us for a much longer
  period of time"

 1) Johannes Berg noticed two major deficiencies in our genetlink
    registration.  Some genetlink protocols we passing in constant
    counts for their ops array rather than something like
    ARRAY_SIZE(ops) or similar.  Also, some genetlink protocols were
    using fixed IDs for their multicast groups.

    We have to retain these fixed IDs to keep existing userland tools
    working, but reserve them so that other multicast groups used by
    other protocols can not possibly conflict.

    In dealing with these two problems, we actually now use less state
    management for genetlink operations and multicast groups.

 2) When configuring interface hardware timestamping, fix several
    drivers that simply do not validate that the hwtstamp_config value
    is one the driver actually supports.  From Ben Hutchings.

 3) Invalid memory references in mwifiex driver, from Amitkumar Karwar.

 4) In dev_forward_skb(), set the skb-&gt;protocol in the right order
    relative to skb_scrub_packet().  From Alexei Starovoitov.

 5) Bridge erroneously fails to use the proper wrapper functions to make
    calls to netdev_ops-&gt;ndo_vlan_rx_{add,kill}_vid.  Fix from Toshiaki
    Makita.

 6) When detaching a bridge port, make sure to flush all VLAN IDs to
    prevent them from leaking, also from Toshiaki Makita.

 7) Put in a compromise for TCP Small Queues so that deep queued devices
    that delay TX reclaim non-trivially don't have such a performance
    decrease.  One particularly problematic area is 802.11 AMPDU in
    wireless.  From Eric Dumazet.

 8) Fix crashes in tcp_fastopen_cache_get(), we can see NULL socket dsts
    here.  Fix from Eric Dumzaet, reported by Dave Jones.

 9) Fix use after free in ipv6 SIT driver, from Willem de Bruijn.

10) When computing mergeable buffer sizes, virtio-net fails to take the
    virtio-net header into account.  From Michael Dalton.

11) Fix seqlock deadlock in ip4_datagram_connect() wrt.  statistic
    bumping, this one has been with us for a while.  From Eric Dumazet.

12) Fix NULL deref in the new TIPC fragmentation handling, from Erik
    Hugne.

13) 6lowpan bit used for traffic classification was wrong, from Jukka
    Rissanen.

14) macvlan has the same issue as normal vlans did wrt.  propagating LRO
    disabling down to the real device, fix it the same way.  From Michal
    Kubecek.

15) CPSW driver needs to soft reset all slaves during suspend, from
    Daniel Mack.

16) Fix small frame pacing in FQ packet scheduler, from Eric Dumazet.

17) The xen-netfront RX buffer refill timer isn't properly scheduled on
    partial RX allocation success, from Ma JieYue.

18) When ipv6 ping protocol support was added, the AF_INET6 protocol
    initialization cleanup path on failure was borked a little.  Fix
    from Vlad Yasevich.

19) If a socket disconnects during a read/recvmsg/recvfrom/etc that
    blocks we can do the wrong thing with the msg_name we write back to
    userspace.  From Hannes Frederic Sowa.  There is another fix in the
    works from Hannes which will prevent future problems of this nature.

20) Fix route leak in VTI tunnel transmit, from Fan Du.

As suggested by David Miller, make genl_register_family_with_ops()
a macro and pass only the array, evaluating ARRAY_SIZE() in the
macro, this is a little safer.

The openvswitch has some indirection, assing ops/n_ops directly in
that code. This might ultimately just assign the pointers in the
family initializations, saving the struct genl_family_and_ops and
code (once mcast groups are handled differently.)

<title>tcp: don't update snd_nxt, when a socket is switched from repair mode</title>

snd_nxt must be updated synchronously with sk_send_head.  Otherwise
tp-&gt;packets_out may be updated incorrectly, what may bring a kernel panic.

Here is a kernel panic from my host.
[  103.043194] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000048
[  103.044025] IP: [&lt;ffffffff815aaaaf&gt;] tcp_rearm_rto+0xcf/0x150
...
[  146.301158] Call Trace:
[  146.301158]  [&lt;ffffffff815ab7f0&gt;] tcp_ack+0xcc0/0x12c0

Before this panic a tcp socket was restored. This socket had sent and
unsent data in the write queue. Sent data was restored in repair mode,
then the socket was switched from reapair mode and unsent data was
restored. After that the socket was switched back into repair mode.

In that moment we had a socket where write queue looks like this:
snd_una    snd_nxt   write_seq
   |_________|________|
             |
	  sk_send_head

After a second switching from repair mode the state of socket was
changed:

snd_una          snd_nxt, write_seq
   |_________ ________|
             |
	  sk_send_head

This state is inconsistent, because snd_nxt and sk_send_head are not
synchronized.

Bellow you can find a call trace, how packets_out can be incremented
twice for one skb, if snd_nxt and sk_send_head are not synchronized.
In this case packets_out will be always positive, even when
sk_write_queue is empty.

tcp_write_wakeup
	skb = tcp_send_head(sk);
	tcp_fragment
		if (!before(tp-&gt;snd_nxt, TCP_SKB_CB(buff)-&gt;end_seq))
			tcp_adjust_pcount(sk, skb, diff);
	tcp_event_new_data_sent
		tp-&gt;packets_out += tcp_skb_pcount(skb);

I think update of snd_nxt isn't required, when a socket is switched from
repair mode.  Because it's initialized in tcp_connect_init. Then when a
write queue is restored, snd_nxt is incremented in tcp_event_new_data_sent,
so it's always is in consistent state.

I have checked, that the bug is not reproduced with this patch and
all tests about restoring tcp connections work fine.

After searching rt by the vti tunnel dst/src parameter,
if this rt has neither attached to any transformation
nor the transformation is not tunnel oriented, this rt
should be released back to ip layer.

otherwise causing dst memory leakage.

A plain read() on a socket does set msg-&gt;msg_name to NULL. So check for
NULL pointer first.

<title>inet: prevent leakage of uninitialized memory to user in recv syscalls</title>

Only update *addr_len when we actually fill in sockaddr, otherwise we
can return uninitialized memory from the stack to the caller in the
recvfrom, recvmmsg and recvmsg syscalls. Drop the the (addr_len == NULL)
checks because we only get called with a valid addr_len pointer either
from sock_common_recvmsg or inet_recvmsg.

If a blocking read waits on a socket which is concurrently shut down we
now return zero and set msg_msgnamelen to 0.
