The /proc/net/pppol2tp handlers (pppol2tp_seq_*()) iterate over all
L2TPv2 tunnels, and rightfully expect that only PPP sessions can be
found there. However, l2tp_netlink accepts creating Ethernet sessions
regardless of the underlying tunnel version.

This confuses pppol2tp_seq_session_show(), which expects that
l2tp_session_priv() returns a pppol2tp_session structure. When the
session is an Ethernet pseudo-wire, a struct l2tp_eth_sess is returned
instead. This leads to invalid memory access when
pppol2tp_session_get_sock() later tries to dereference ps->sk.

mlxsw: IPv6 and reference counting fixes

The first three patches fix a mismatch between the new IPv6 behavior
introduced in commit f34436a4 ("net/ipv6: Simplify route replace and
appending into multipath route") and mlxsw. The patches allow the driver
to support multipathing in IPv6 overlays with GRE tunnel devices. A
selftest will be submitted when net-next opens.

The last patch fixes a reference count problem of the port_vlan struct.
I plan to simplify the code in net-next, so that reference counting is
not necessary anymore.

Switchdev notifications for addition of SWITCHDEV_OBJ_ID_PORT_VLAN are
distributed not only on clean addition, but also when flags on an
existing VLAN are changed. mlxsw_sp_bridge_port_vlan_add() calls
mlxsw_sp_port_vlan_get() to get at the port_vlan in question, which
implicitly references the object. This then leads to discrepancies in
reference counting when the VLAN is removed. spectrum.c warns about the
problem when the module is removed:

stmmac reception handler calls stmmac_rx_vlan() to strip the vlan before
calling napi_gro_receive().

The function assumes VLAN tagged frames are always tagged with
802.1Q protocol, and assigns ETH_P_8021Q to the skb by hard-coding
the parameter on call to __vlan_hwaccel_put_tag() .

This causes packets not to be passed to the VLAN slave if it was created
with 802.1AD protocol
(ip link add link eth0 eth0.100 type vlan proto 802.1ad id 100).

This fix passes the protocol from the VLAN header into
__vlan_hwaccel_put_tag() instead of using the hard-coded value of
ETH_P_8021Q.

NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_STAG_RX check was added and the strip action is now
dependent on the correct combination of features and the detected vlan tag.

NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_STAG_RX feature was added to be in line with the driver
actual abilities.

Most of the implementations behind cfg80211_get_station will not initialize
sinfo to zero before manipulating it. For example, the member "filled",
which indicates the filled in parts of this struct, is often only modified
by enabling certain bits in the bitfield while keeping the remaining bits
in their original state. A caller without a preinitialized sinfo.filled can
then no longer decide which parts of sinfo were filled in by
cfg80211_get_station (or actually the underlying implementations).

cfg80211_get_station must therefore take care that sinfo is initialized to
zero. Otherwise, the caller may tries to read information which was not
filled in and which must therefore also be considered uninitialized. In
batadv_v_elp_get_throughput's case, an invalid "random" expected throughput
may be stored for this neighbor and thus the B.A.T.M.A.N V algorithm may
switch to non-optimal neighbors for certain destinations.

We can't set 'tcfg' with the required fields because there's no way to
get them from the current connect() parameters. So let's restrict

Define cfg.pw_type so that the new session is created with its .pwtype
field properly set (L2TP_PWTYPE_PPP).

Not setting the pseudo-wire type had several annoying effects:

  * Invalid value returned in the L2TP_ATTR_PW_TYPE attribute when
    dumping sessions with the netlink API.

  * Impossibility to delete the session using the netlink API (because
    l2tp_nl_cmd_session_delete() gets the deletion callback function
    from an array indexed by the session's pseudo-wire type).

Also, there are several cases where we should check a session's
pseudo-wire type. For example, pppol2tp_connect() should refuse to
connect a session that is not PPPoL2TP, but that requires the session's
.pwtype field to be properly set.

But this optimization passes any data associated with the last ACK of the

calls tcp_child_process(), which in turn calls tcp_rcv_state_process()
directly.  These lower-level processing functions do not do any checksum
verification.

This patch is to add sctp_packet_gso_append() to build GSO frames

Note that sctp will use page frags instead of frag_list to build

frames may have different size. skb_segment() can only split it

The max number of slots used in xennet_get_responses() is set to
MAX_SKB_FRAGS + (rx->status <= RX_COPY_THRESHOLD).

In old kernel-xen MAX_SKB_FRAGS was 18, while nowadays it is 17. This
difference is resulting in frequent messages "too many slots" and a
reduced network throughput for some workloads (factor 10 below that of
a kernel-xen based guest).

Replacing MAX_SKB_FRAGS by XEN_NETIF_NR_SLOTS_MIN for calculation of
the max number of slots to use solves that problem (tests showed no
more messages "too many slots" and throughput was as high as with the
kernel-xen based guest system).

  4. IMHO the code model using callbacks is trying to make
     something common which isn't.

Revert the netvsc specific changes for now. Does not impact ongoing
development of failover model for virtio.
Revisit this after a simpler library based failover kernel
routines are extracted.

This reverts

====================
nfp: fix a warning, stats, naming and route leak

Various fixes for the NFP.  Patch 1 fixes a harmless GCC 8 warning.
Patch 2 ensures statistics are correct after users decrease the number
of channels/rings.  Patch 3 restores phy_port_name behaviour for flower,
ndo_get_phy_port_name used to return -EOPNOTSUPP on one of the netdevs,
and we need to keep it that way otherwise interface names may change.
Patch 4 fixes refcnt leak in flower tunnel offload code.
