Linus Torvalds aecdc33e11 Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next
Pull networking changes from David Miller:

 1) GRE now works over ipv6, from Dmitry Kozlov.

 2) Make SCTP more network namespace aware, from Eric Biederman.

 3) TEAM driver now works with non-ethernet devices, from Jiri Pirko.

 4) Make openvswitch network namespace aware, from Pravin B Shelar.

 5) IPV6 NAT implementation, from Patrick McHardy.

 6) Server side support for TCP Fast Open, from Jerry Chu and others.

 7) Packet BPF filter supports MOD and XOR, from Eric Dumazet and Daniel
    Borkmann.

 8) Increate the loopback default MTU to 64K, from Eric Dumazet.

 9) Use a per-task rather than per-socket page fragment allocator for
    outgoing networking traffic.  This benefits processes that have very
    many mostly idle sockets, which is quite common.

    From Eric Dumazet.

10) Use up to 32K for page fragment allocations, with fallbacks to
    smaller sizes when higher order page allocations fail.  Benefits are
    a) less segments for driver to process b) less calls to page
    allocator c) less waste of space.

    From Eric Dumazet.

11) Allow GRO to be used on GRE tunnels, from Eric Dumazet.

12) VXLAN device driver, one way to handle VLAN issues such as the
    limitation of 4096 VLAN IDs yet still have some level of isolation.
    From Stephen Hemminger.

13) As usual there is a large boatload of driver changes, with the scale
    perhaps tilted towards the wireless side this time around.

Fix up various fairly trivial conflicts, mostly caused by the user
namespace changes.

	DO NOT ADD FIRMWARE TO THIS DIRECTORY.
	======================================

This directory is only here to contain firmware images extracted from old
device drivers which predate the common use of request_firmware().

As we update those drivers to use request_firmware() and keep a clean
separation between code and firmware, we put the extracted firmware
here.

This directory is _NOT_ for adding arbitrary new firmware images. The
place to add those is the separate linux-firmware repository:

    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git

That repository contains all these firmware images which have been
extracted from older drivers, as well various new firmware images which
we were never permitted to include in a GPL'd work, but which we _have_
been permitted to redistribute under separate cover.

To submit firmware to that repository, please send either a git binary
diff or preferably a git pull request to:
      David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
      Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>

Your commit should include an update to the WHENCE file clearly
identifying the licence under which the firmware is available, and
that it is redistributable. If the licence is long and involved, it's
permitted to include it in a separate file and refer to it from the
WHENCE file.

Ideally, your commit should contain a Signed-Off-By: from someone
authoritative on the licensing of the firmware in question (i.e. from
within the company that owns the code).
