    Pull networking updates from David Miller:
     "Highlights (1721 non-merge commits, this has to be a record of some
      sort):
    
       1) Add 'random' mode to team driver, from Jiri Pirko and Eric
          Dumazet.
    
       2) Make it so that any driver that supports configuration of multiple
          MAC addresses can provide the forwarding database add and del
          calls by providing a default implementation and hooking that up if
          the driver doesn't have an explicit set of handlers.  From Vlad
          Yasevich.
    
       3) Support GSO segmentation over tunnels and other encapsulating
          devices such as VXLAN, from Pravin B Shelar.
    
       4) Support L2 GRE tunnels in the flow dissector, from Michael Dalton.
    
       5) Implement Tail Loss Probe (TLP) detection in TCP, from Nandita
          Dukkipati.
    
       6) In the PHY layer, allow supporting wake-on-lan in situations where
          the PHY registers have to be written for it to be configured.
    
          Use it to support wake-on-lan in mv643xx_eth.
    
          From Michael Stapelberg.
    
       7) Significantly improve firewire IPV6 support, from YOSHIFUJI
          Hideaki.
    
       8) Allow multiple packets to be sent in a single transmission using
          network coding in batman-adv, from Martin Hundebøll.
    
       9) Add support for T5 cxgb4 chips, from Santosh Rastapur.
    
      10) Generalize the VXLAN forwarding tables so that there is more
          flexibility in configurating various aspects of the endpoints.
          From David Stevens.
    
      11) Support RSS and TSO in hardware over GRE tunnels in bxn2x driver,
          from Dmitry Kravkov.
    
      12) Zero copy support in nfnelink_queue, from Eric Dumazet and Pablo
          Neira Ayuso.
    
      13) Start adding networking selftests.
    
      14) In situations of overload on the same AF_PACKET fanout socket, or
          per-cpu packet receive queue, minimize drop by distributing the
          load to other cpus/fanouts.  From Willem de Bruijn and Eric
          Dumazet.
    
      15) Add support for new payload offset BPF instruction, from Daniel
          Borkmann.
    
      16) Convert several drivers over to mdoule_platform_driver(), from
          Sachin Kamat.
    
      17) Provide a minimal BPF JIT image disassembler userspace tool, from
          Daniel Borkmann.
    
      18) Rewrite F-RTO implementation in TCP to match the final
          specification of it in RFC4138 and RFC5682.  From Yuchung Cheng.
    
      19) Provide netlink socket diag of netlink sockets ("Yo dawg, I hear
          you like netlink, so I implemented netlink dumping of netlink
          sockets.") From Andrey Vagin.
    
      20) Remove ugly passing of rtnetlink attributes into rtnl_doit
          functions, from Thomas Graf.
    
      21) Allow userspace to be able to see if a configuration change occurs
          in the middle of an address or device list dump, from Nicolas
          Dichtel.
    
      22) Support RFC3168 ECN protection for ipv6 fragments, from Hannes
          Frederic Sowa.
    
      23) Increase accuracy of packet length used by packet scheduler, from
          Jason Wang.
    
      24) Beginning set of changes to make ipv4/ipv6 fragment handling more
          scalable and less susceptible to overload and locking contention,
          from Jesper Dangaard Brouer.
    
      25) Get rid of using non-type-safe NLMSG_* macros and use nlmsg_*()
          instead.  From Hong Zhiguo.
    
      26) Optimize route usage in IPVS by avoiding reference counting where
          possible, from Julian Anastasov.
    
      27) Convert IPVS schedulers to RCU, also from Julian Anastasov.
    
      28) Support cpu fanouts in xt_NFQUEUE netfilter target, from Holger
          Eitzenberger.
    
      29) Network namespace support for nf_log, ebt_log, xt_LOG, ipt_ULOG,
          nfnetlink_log, and nfnetlink_queue.  From Gao feng.
    
      30) Implement RFC3168 ECN protection, from Hannes Frederic Sowa.

          Willem de Bruijn and Daniel Borkmann.
    
      38) Bring parity to what's provided by /proc/net/packet socket dumping
          and the info provided by netlink socket dumping of AF_PACKET
          sockets.  From Nicolas Dichtel.
    
      39) Fix peeking beyond zero sized SKBs in AF_UNIX, from Benjamin
          Poirier"
