      Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
 "Here are some bug fixes that have piled up during ksummit/linuxcon.

   1) Fix endian problems in ibmveth, from Anton Blanchard.

   2) IPV6 routing code does GFP_KERNEL allocation in atomic, fix from
      Benjamin Block.

   3) SCTP association fixes from Daniel Borkmann.

   4) When multiple VLAN headers are present we have to make sure the
      second and subsequent ones are pullable in the SKB otherwise we
      blindly dereference garbage.  From Jiri Benc.

   5) The argument adjustment of the signature of hlist_add_after*()
      introduced a regression in the batman-adv code, fix from Sven
      Eckelmann.

   6) Fix TX hang handling to avoid a panic in i40e, from Anjali Singhai
      Jain.

   7) PTP flag test is inverted in i40e driver, from Jesse Brandeburg.

   8) ATM LEC driver needs to hold RTNL mutex over MTU changes, from
      Chas Williams.

   9) Truncate packets larger then the TPACKET_V3 format configured
      buffers, otherwise we overwrite past the end of said buffers.
      From Eric Dumazet.

  10) Fix endianness bugs in qlcnic firmware handling, from Rajesh
      Borundia and Shahed Shaikh.

  11) CXGB4 sometimes doesn't get all of the TX completion events it
      should resulting in SKBs getting stuck in the TX queue, from
      Hariprasad Shenai.

  12) When the FEC chip's PTP clock is disabled, you can't access the
      register.  Add necessary checks to avoid the resulting hang, from
      Fugang Duan"

      net: sctp: fix suboptimal edge-case on non-active active/retrans path selection · aa4a83ee
      Daniel Borkmann authored 
      In SCTP, selection of active (T.ACT) and retransmission (T.RET)
transports is being done whenever transport control operations
(UP, DOWN, PF, ...) are engaged through sctp_assoc_control_transport().

Commits 4c47af4d ("net: sctp: rework multihoming retransmission
path selection to rfc4960") and a7288c4d ("net: sctp: improve
sctp_select_active_and_retran_path selection") have both improved
it towards a more fine-grained and optimal path selection.

Currently, the selection algorithm for T.ACT and T.RET is as follows:

1) Elect the two most recently used ACTIVE transports T1, T2 for
   T.ACT, T.RET, where T.ACT<-T1 and T1 is most recently used
2) In case primary path T.PRI not in {T1, T2} but ACTIVE, set
   T.ACT<-T.PRI and T.RET<-T1
3) If only T1 is ACTIVE from the set, set T.ACT<-T1 and T.RET<-T1
4) If none is ACTIVE, set T.ACT<-best(T.PRI, T.RET, T3) where
   T3 is the most recently used (if avail) in PF, set T.RET<-T.PRI

Prior to above commits, 4) was simply a camp on T.ACT<-T.PRI and
T.RET<-T.PRI, ignoring possible paths in PF. Camping on T.PRI is
still slightly suboptimal as it can lead to the following scenario:

Setup:
        <A>                                <B>
    T1: p1p1 (10.0.10.10) <==>  .'`)  <==> p1p1 (10.0.10.12)  <= T.PRI
    T2: p1p2 (10.0.10.20) <==> (_ . ) <==> p1p2 (10.0.10.22)

    net.sctp.rto_min = 1000
    net.sctp.path_max_retrans = 2
    net.sctp.pf_retrans = 0
    net.sctp.hb_interval = 1000

T.PRI is permanently down, T2 is put briefly into PF state (e.g. due to
link flapping). Here, the first time transmission is sent over PF path
T2 as it's the only non-INACTIVE path, but the retransmitted data-chunks
are sent over the INACTIVE path T1 (T.PRI), which is not good.

After the patch, it's choosing better transports in both cases by
modifying step 4):

4) If none is ACTIVE, set T.ACT_new<-best(T.ACT_old, T3) where T3 is
   the most recently used (if avail) in PF, set T.RET<-T.ACT_new

This will still select a best possible path in PF if available (which
can also include T.PRI/T.RET), and set both T.ACT/T.RET to it.

In case sctp_assoc_control_transport() *just* put T.ACT_old into INACTIVE
as it transitioned from ACTIVE->PF->INACTIVE and stays in INACTIVE just
for a very short while before going back ACTIVE, it will guarantee that
this path will be reselected for T.ACT/T.RET since T3 (PF) is not
available.

Previously, this was not possible, as we would only select between T.PRI
and T.RET, and a possible T3 would be NULL due to the fact that we have
just transitioned T3 in sctp_assoc_control_transport() from PF->INACTIVE
and would select a suboptimal path when T.PRI/T.RET have worse properties.

In the case that T.ACT_old permanently went to INACTIVE during this
transition and there's no PF path available, plus T.PRI and T.RET are
INACTIVE as well, we would now camp on T.ACT_old, but if everything is
being INACTIVE there's really not much we can do except hoping for a
successful HB to bring one of the transports back up again and, thus
cause a new selection through sctp_assoc_control_transport().

Now both tests work fine:

Case 1:

 1. T1 S(ACTIVE) T.ACT
    T2 S(ACTIVE) T.RET

 2. T1 S(ACTIVE) T.ACT, T.RET
    T2 S(PF)

 3. T1 S(ACTIVE) T.ACT, T.RET
    T2 S(INACTIVE)

 5. T1 S(PF) T.ACT, T.RET
    T2 S(INACTIVE)

[ 5.1 T1 S(INACTIVE) T.ACT, T.RET
      T2 S(INACTIVE) ]

 6. T1 S(ACTIVE) T.ACT, T.RET
    T2 S(INACTIVE)

 7. T1 S(ACTIVE) T.ACT
    T2 S(ACTIVE) T.RET

Case 2:

 1. T1 S(ACTIVE) T.ACT
    T2 S(ACTIVE) T.RET

 2. T1 S(PF)
    T2 S(ACTIVE) T.ACT, T.RET

 3. T1 S(INACTIVE)
    T2 S(ACTIVE) T.ACT, T.RET

 5. T1 S(INACTIVE)
    T2 S(PF) T.ACT, T.RET

[ 5.1 T1 S(INACTIVE)
      T2 S(INACTIVE) T.ACT, T.RET ]

 6. T1 S(INACTIVE)
    T2 S(ACTIVE) T.ACT, T.RET

 7. T1 S(ACTIVE) T.ACT
    T2 S(ACTIVE) T.RET

      When both transports are the same, we don't have to go down that
road only to realize that we will return the very same transport.
We are guaranteed that curr is always non-NULL. Therefore, just
short-circuit this special case.
