Linus Torvalds 667f867c93 Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net
Pull networking fixes from David Miller:

 1) Don't allow negative TCP reordering values, from Soheil Hassas
    Yeganeh.

 2) Don't overflow while parsing ipv6 header options, from Craig Gallek.

 3) Handle more cleanly the case where an individual route entry during
    a dump will not fit into the allocated netlink SKB, from David
    Ahern.

 4) Add missing CONFIG_INET dependency for mlx5e, from Arnd Bergmann.

 5) Allow neighbour updates to converge more quickly via gratuitous
    ARPs, from Ihar Hrachyshka.

 6) Fix compile error from CONFIG_INET is disabled, from Eric Dumazet.

 7) Fix use after free in x25 protocol init, from Lin Zhang.

 8) Valid VLAN pvid ranges passed into br_validate(), from Tobias
    Jungel.

 9) NULL out address lists in child sockets in SCTP, this is similar to
    the fix we made for inet connection sockets last week. From Eric
    Dumazet.

10) Fix NULL deref in mlxsw driver, from Ido Schimmel.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
