Pull networking fixes from David Miller:

 1) Revert iwlwifi reclaimed packet tracking, it causes problems for a
    bunch of folks.  From Emmanuel Grumbach.

 2) Work limiting code in brcmsmac wifi driver can clear tx status
    without processing the event.  From Arend van Spriel.

 3) rtlwifi USB driver processes wrong SKB, fix from Larry Finger.

 4) l2tp tunnel delete can race with close, fix from Tom Parkin.

 5) pktgen_add_device() failures are not checked at all, fix from Cong
    Wang.

 6) Fix unintentional removal of carrier off from tun_detach(),
    otherwise we confuse userspace, from Michael S.  Tsirkin.

 7) Don't leak socket reference counts and ubufs in vhost-net driver,
    from Jason Wang.

 8) vmxnet3 driver gets it's initial carrier state wrong, fix from Neil
    Horman.

 9) Protect against USB networking devices which spam the host with 0
    length frames, from Bjørn Mork.

10) Prevent neighbour overflows in ipv6 for locally destined routes,
    from Marcelo Ricardo.  This is the best short-term fix for this, a
    longer term fix has been implemented in net-next.

11) L2TP uses ipv4 datagram routines in it's ipv6 code, whoops.  This
    mistake is largely because the ipv6 functions don't even have some
    kind of prefix in their names to suggest they are ipv6 specific.
    From Tom Parkin.

12) Check SYN packet drops properly in tcp_rcv_fastopen_synack(), from
    Yuchung Cheng.

13) Fix races and TX skb freeing bugs in via-rhine's NAPI support, from
    Francois Romieu and your's truly.

14) Fix infinite loops and divides by zero in TCP congestion window
    handling, from Eric Dumazet, Neal Cardwell, and Ilpo Järvinen.

15) AF_PACKET tx ring handling can leak kernel memory to userspace, fix
    from Phil Sutter.

16) Fix error handling in ipv6 GRE tunnel transmit, from Tommi Rantala.

17) Protect XEN netback driver against hostile frontend putting garbage
    into the rings, don't leak pages in TX GOP checking, and add proper
    resource releasing in error path of xen_netbk_get_requests().  From
    Ian Campbell.

18) SCTP authentication keys should be cleared out and released with
    kzfree(), from Daniel Borkmann.

19) L2TP is a bit too clever trying to maintain skb-&gt;truesize, and ends
    up corrupting socket memory accounting to the point where packet
    sending is halted indefinitely.  Just remove the adjustments
    entirely, they aren't really needed.  From Eric Dumazet.

20) ATM Iphase driver uses a data type with the same name as the S390
    headers, rename to fix the build.  From Heiko Carstens.

21) Fix a typo in copying the inner network header offset from one SKB
    to another, from Pravin B Shelar.

On sctp_endpoint_destroy, previously used sensitive keying material
should be zeroed out before the memory is returned, as we already do
with e.g. auth keys when released.

In sctp_setsockopt_auth_key, we create a temporary copy of the user
passed shared auth key for the endpoint or association and after
internal setup, we free it right away. Since it's sensitive data, we
should zero out the key before returning the memory back to the
allocator. Thus, use kzfree instead of kfree, just as we do in
sctp_auth_key_put().

Playing with skb-&gt;truesize is tricky, especially when
skb is attached to a socket, as we can fool memory charging.

Just remove this code, its not worth trying to be ultra
precise in xmit path.

ip6gre_tunnel_xmit() is leaking the skb when we hit this error branch,
and the -1 return value from this function is bogus. Use the error
handling we already have in place in ip6gre_tunnel_xmit() for this error
case to fix this.

There are transients during normal FRTO procedure during which
the packets_in_flight can go to zero between write_queue state
updates and firing the resulting segments out. As FRTO processing
occurs during that window the check must be more precise to
not match "spuriously" :-). More specificly, e.g., when
packets_in_flight is zero but FLAG_DATA_ACKED is true the problematic
branch that set cwnd into zero would not be taken and new segments
might be sent out later.
