Pull networking updates from David Miller:
"Another merge window, another set of networking changes. I've heard
rumblings that the lightweight tunnels infrastructure has been voted
networking change of the year. But what do I know?

1) Add conntrack support to openvswitch, from Joe Stringer.

2) Initial support for VRF (Virtual Routing and Forwarding), which
allows the segmentation of routing paths without using multiple
devices. There are some semantic kinks to work out still, but
this is a reasonably strong foundation. From David Ahern.

3) Remove spinlock fro act_bpf fast path, from Alexei Starovoitov.

4) Ignore route nexthops with a link down state in ipv6, just like
ipv4. From Andy Gospodarek.

5) Remove spinlock from fast path of act_gact and act_mirred, from
Eric Dumazet.

6) Document the DSA layer, from Florian Fainelli.

7) Add netconsole support to bcmgenet, systemport, and DSA. Also
from Florian Fainelli.

8) Add Mellanox Switch Driver and core infrastructure, from Jiri
Pirko.

9) Add support for "light weight tunnels", which allow for
encapsulation and decapsulation without bearing the overhead of a
full blown netdevice. From Thomas Graf, Jiri Benc, and a cast of
others.

10) Add Identifier Locator Addressing support for ipv6, from Tom
Herbert.

11) Support fragmented SKBs in iwlwifi, from Johannes Berg.

12) Allow perf PMUs to be accessed from eBPF programs, from Kaixu Xia.

13) Add BQL support to 3c59x driver, from Loganaden Velvindron.

14) Stop using a zero TX queue length to mean that a device shouldn't
have a qdisc attached, use an explicit flag instead. From Phil
Sutter.

15) Use generic geneve netdevice infrastructure in openvswitch, from
Pravin B Shelar.

16) Add infrastructure to avoid re-forwarding a packet in software
that was already forwarded by a hardware switch. From Scott
Feldman.

17) Allow AF_PACKET fanout function to be implemented in a bpf
program, from Willem de Bruijn"

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.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:

output buffer, otherwise we overflow and trigger skb_over_panic().

acpi userland tools. From Pablo Neira Ayuso.

12) Add missing DMA memory barrier to xgene driver, from Iyappan

13) Fix crash in rate estimators, from Eric Dumazet.

14) We've been adding various workarounds, one after another, for the
change which added the per-net tcp_sock. It was meant to reduce
socket contention but added lots of problems.

all the daemons.

Morgenstein.

serious performance regressions. The orignal problem was IPV6
fragment ID generation, so fix that properly instead. From Vlad

Merge branch 'tcp_stretch_acks'

Neal Cardwell says:

====================
fix stretch ACK bugs in TCP CUBIC and Reno

This patch series fixes the TCP CUBIC and Reno congestion control
modules to properly handle stretch ACKs in their respective additive
increase modes, and in the transitions from slow start to additive
increase.

This finishes the project started by commit 9f9843a751d0a2057 ("tcp:
properly handle stretch acks in slow start"), which fixed behavior for
TCP congestion control when handling stretch ACKs in slow start mode.

Motivation: In the Jan 2015 netdev thread 'BW regression after "tcp:
refine TSO autosizing"', Eyal Perry documented a regression that Eric
Dumazet determined was caused by improper handling of TCP stretch
ACKs.

Background: LRO, GRO, delayed ACKs, and middleboxes can cause "stretch
ACKs" that cover more than the RFC-specified maximum of 2
packets. These stretch ACKs can cause serious performance shortfalls
in common congestion control algorithms, like Reno and CUBIC, which
were designed and tuned years ago with receiver hosts that were not
using LRO or GRO, and were instead ACKing every other packet.

Testing: at Google we have been using this approach for handling
stretch ACKs for CUBIC datacenter and Internet traffic for several
years, with good results.

tcp: stretch ACK fixes prep

LRO, GRO, delayed ACKs, and middleboxes can cause "stretch ACKs" that
cover more than the RFC-specified maximum of 2 packets. These stretch
ACKs can cause serious performance shortfalls in common congestion
control algorithms that were designed and tuned years ago with
receiver hosts that were not using LRO or GRO, and were instead
politely ACKing every other packet.

This patch series fixes Reno and CUBIC to handle stretch ACKs.

This patch prepares for the upcoming stretch ACK bug fix patches. It
adds an "acked" parameter to tcp_cong_avoid_ai() to allow for future
fixes to tcp_cong_avoid_ai() to correctly handle stretch ACKs, and
changes all congestion control algorithms to pass in 1 for the ACKed
count. It also changes tcp_slow_start() to return the number of packet
ACK "credits" that were not processed in slow start mode, and can be
processed by the congestion control module in additive increase mode.

In future patches we will fix tcp_cong_avoid_ai() to handle stretch
ACKs, and fix Reno and CUBIC handling of stretch ACKs in slow start
and additive increase mode.
