Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
 "A quick batch of bug fixes:

  1) Fix build with IPV6 disabled, from Eric Dumazet.

  2) Several more cases of caching SKB data pointers across calls to
     pskb_may_pull(), thus referencing potentially free'd memory.  From
     Li RongQing.

  3) DSA phy code tests operation presence improperly, instead of going:

        if (x-&gt;ops-&gt;foo)
                r = x-&gt;ops-&gt;foo(args);

     it was going:

        if (x-&gt;ops-&gt;foo(args))
                r = x-&gt;ops-&gt;foo(args);

   Fix from Andew Lunn"

pskb_may_pull() may change skb-&gt;data and make greh pointer oboslete;
so need to reassign greh;
but since first calling pskb_may_pull already ensured that skb-&gt;data
has enough space for greh, so move the reference of greh before second
calling pskb_may_pull(), to avoid reassign greh.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:

 1) Include fixes for netrom and dsa (Fabian Frederick and Florian
    Fainelli)

 2) Fix FIXED_PHY support in stmmac, from Giuseppe CAVALLARO.

 3) Several SKB use after free fixes (vxlan, openvswitch, vxlan,
    ip_tunnel, fou), from Li ROngQing.

 4) fec driver PTP support fixes from Luwei Zhou and Nimrod Andy.

 5) Use after free in virtio_net, from Michael S Tsirkin.

 6) Fix flow mask handling for megaflows in openvswitch, from Pravin B
    Shelar.

 7) ISDN gigaset and capi bug fixes from Tilman Schmidt.

 8) Fix route leak in ip_send_unicast_reply(), from Vasily Averin.

 9) Fix two eBPF JIT bugs on x86, from Alexei Starovoitov.

10) TCP_SKB_CB() reorganization caused a few regressions, fixed by Cong
    Wang and Eric Dumazet.

11) Don't overwrite end of SKB when parsing malformed sctp ASCONF
    chunks, from Daniel Borkmann.

12) Don't call sock_kfree_s() with NULL pointers, this function also has
    the side effect of adjusting the socket memory usage.  From Cong Wang.

commit 971f10eca186cab238c49da ("tcp: better TCP_SKB_CB layout to reduce cache line misses")
missed that cookie_v4_check() still calls ip_options_echo() which uses
IPCB(). It should use TCPCB() at TCP layer, so call __ip_options_echo()
instead.

Pull percpu consistent-ops changes from Tejun Heo:
 "Way back, before the current percpu allocator was implemented, static
  and dynamic percpu memory areas were allocated and handled separately
  and had their own accessors.  The distinction has been gone for many
  years now; however, the now duplicate two sets of accessors remained
  with the pointer based ones - this_cpu_*() - evolving various other
  operations over time.  During the process, we also accumulated other
  inconsistent operations.

  This pull request contains Christoph's patches to clean up the
  duplicate accessor situation.  __get_cpu_var() uses are replaced with

Pull percpu consistent-ops changes from Tejun Heo:
 "Way back, before the current percpu allocator was implemented, static
  and dynamic percpu memory areas were allocated and handled separately
  and had their own accessors.  The distinction has been gone for many
  years now; however, the now duplicate two sets of accessors remained
  with the pointer based ones - this_cpu_*() - evolving various other
  operations over time.  During the process, we also accumulated other
  inconsistent operations.

  duplicate accessor situation.  __get_cpu_var() uses are replaced with
  with this_cpu_ptr() and __this_cpu_ptr() with raw_cpu_ptr().
