Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next

Pull networking updates from David Miller:

1) New offloading infrastructure and example 'rocker' driver for
offloading of switching and routing to hardware.

This work was done by a large group of dedicated individuals, not
limited to: Scott Feldman, Jiri Pirko, Thomas Graf, John Fastabend,
Jamal Hadi Salim, Andy Gospodarek, Florian Fainelli, Roopa Prabhu

2) Start making the networking operate on IOV iterators instead of
modifying iov objects in-situ during transfers. Thanks to Al Viro
and Herbert Xu.

3) A set of new netlink interfaces for the TIPC stack, from Richard
Alpe.

4) Remove unnecessary looping during ipv6 routing lookups, from Martin
KaFai Lau.

5) Add PAUSE frame generation support to gianfar driver, from Matei
Pavaluca.

6) Allow for larger reordering levels in TCP, which are easily
achievable in the real world right now, from Eric Dumazet.

7) Add a variable of napi_schedule that doesn't need to disable cpu
interrupts, from Eric Dumazet.

8) Use a doubly linked list to optimize neigh_parms_release(), from
Nicolas Dichtel.

9) Various enhancements to the kernel BPF verifier, and allow eBPF
programs to actually be attached to sockets. From Alexei
Starovoitov.

10) Support TSO/LSO in sunvnet driver, from David L Stevens.

11) Allow controlling ECN usage via routing metrics, from Florian
Westphal.

12) Remote checksum offload, from Tom Herbert.

13) Add split-header receive, BQL, and xmit_more support to amd-xgbe
driver, from Thomas Lendacky.

14) Add MPLS support to openvswitch, from Simon Horman.

15) Support wildcard tunnel endpoints in ipv6 tunnels, from Steffen
Klassert.

16) Do gro flushes on a per-device basis using a timer, from Eric
Dumazet. This tries to resolve the conflicting goals between the
desired handling of bulk vs. RPC-like traffic.

17) Allow userspace to ask for the CPU upon what a packet was
received/steered, via SO_INCOMING_CPU. From Eric Dumazet.

18) Limit GSO packets to half the current congestion window, from Eric
Dumazet.

19) Add a generic helper so that all drivers set their RSS keys in a
consistent way, from Eric Dumazet.

20) Add xmit_more support to enic driver, from Govindarajulu
Varadarajan.

21) Add VLAN packet scheduler action, from Jiri Pirko.

22) Support configurable RSS hash functions via ethtool, from Eyal
Perry.

John W. Linville says:

====================
pull request: wireless-next 2014-11-07

Please pull this batch of updates intended for the 3.19 stream!

For the mac80211 bits, Johannes says:

"This relatively large batch of changes is comprised of the following:
* large mac80211-hwsim changes from Ben, Jukka and a bit myself
* OCB/WAVE/11p support from Rostislav on behalf of the Czech Technical
University in Prague and Volkswagen Group Research
* minstrel VHT work from Karl
* more CSA work from Luca
* WMM admission control support in mac80211 (myself)
* various smaller fixes, spelling corrections, and minor API additions"

For the Bluetooth bits, Johan says:

"Here's the first bluetooth-next pull request for 3.19. The vast majority
of patches are for ieee802154 from Alexander Aring with various fixes
and cleanups. There are also several LE/SMP fixes as well as improved
support for handling LE devices that have lost their pairing information
(the patches from Alfonso). Jukka provides a couple of stability fixes
for 6lowpan and Szymon conformance fixes for RFCOMM. For the HCI drivers
we have one new USB ID for an Acer controller as well as a reset
handling fix for H5."

For the Atheros bits, Kalle says:

"Major changes are:

o ethtool support (Ben)

o print dev string prefix with debug hex buffers dump (Michal)

o debugfs file to read calibration data from the firmware verification
purposes (me)

o fix fw_stats debugfs file, now results are more reliable (Michal)

o firmware crash counters via debugfs (Ben&me)

o various tracing points to debug firmware (Rajkumar)

o make it possible to provide firmware calibration data via a file (me)

And we have quite a lot of smaller fixes and clean up."

For the iwlwifi bits, Emmanuel says:

"The big new thing here is netdetect which allows the
firmware to wake up the platform when a specific network
is detected. Along with that I have fixes for d3 operation.
The usual amount of rate scaling stuff - we now support STBC.
The other commit that stands out is Johannes's work on
devcoredump. He basically starts to use the standard
infrastructure he built."

Along with that are the usual sort of updates and such for ath9k,
brcmfmac, wil6210, and a handful of other bits here and there...

Please let me know if there are problems!

mac80211: 802.11p OCB mode support

This patch adds 802.11p OCB (Outside the Context of a BSS) mode
support.

When communicating in OCB mode a mandatory wildcard BSSID
(48 '1' bits) is used.

The EDCA parameters handling function was changed to support
802.11p specific values.

The insertion of a newly discovered STAs is done in the similar way
as in the IBSS mode -- through the deferred insertion.

The OCB mode uses a periodic 'housekeeping task' for expiration of
disconnected STAs (in the similar manner as in the MESH mode).

New Kconfig option for verbose OCB debugging outputs is added.

mac80211: minstrel_ht: add basic support for VHT rates <= 3SS@80MHz

When the new CONFIG_MAC80211_RC_MINSTREL_VHT is not set (default 'N'),
there is no behavioral change including in sampling and MCS_GROUP_RATES
remains 8.
Otherwise MCS_GROUP_RATES is 10, and a module parameter *vht_only*
(default 'true'), restricts the rates selection to VHT when VHT is
supported.

Regarding the debugfs stats buffer:
It is explicitly increased from 8k to 32k to fit every rates incl. when
both HT and VHT rates are enabled, as for the format, before:

====================
pull request: wireless-next 2014-07-03

Please pull this first batch of wireless updates intended for the
3.17 stream...

For the mac80211 bits, Johannes says:

"The biggest thing here is probably Arik's TDLS rework, beyond that we
have smaller improvements and features like David's scanning IE thing,
Luca's queue work, some CSA work, etc. Also your PID rate control
removal, of course."

For the iwlwifi bits, Emmanuel says:

"I have here a whole bunch of various things. Andy contributes
better debug prints for dvm specific flows and a module parameter to
completely disable power save for dvm. Andrei is sharing the premises
of his work on CSA - more to come. Eran and Liad keep on working
on the new devices. I have the regular amount of BT Coex stuff and
I continue to work on the firmware error report system adding more
debug capabilities. More to come on that subject too."

On top of that, there are some cleanups to the new rsi driver, some
continuing improvements to the rtl818x drivers, and the usual bundles
of updates to ath9k, b43, mwifiex, wil6210, and a few other bits here
and there.
