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. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next: (1012 commits) hyperv: Add buffer for extended info after the RNDIS response message. hyperv: Report actual status in receive completion packet hyperv: Remove extra allocated space for recv_pkt_list elements hyperv: Fix page buffer handling in rndis_filter_send_request() hyperv: Fix the missing return value in rndis_filter_set_packet_filter() hyperv: Fix the max_xfer_size in RNDIS initialization vxlan: put UDP socket in correct namespace vxlan: Depend on CONFIG_INET sfc: Fix the reported priorities of different filter types sfc: Remove EFX_FILTER_FLAG_RX_OVERRIDE_IP sfc: Fix loopback self-test with separate_tx_channels=1 sfc: Fix MCDI structure field lookup sfc: Add parentheses around use of bitfield macro arguments sfc: Fix null function pointer in efx_sriov_channel_type vxlan: virtual extensible lan igmp: export symbol ip_mc_leave_group netlink: add attributes to fdb interface tg3: unconditionally select HWMON support when tg3 is enabled.

firmware: remove computone driver firmware and documentation

2012-08-16T19:31:18Z

The only Computone support left in the kernel is in drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_pci.c. CONFIG_COMPUTONE is no longer a valid option. Therefore, remove firmware, documentation, and the last vestiges of this driver.

tokenring: delete all remaining driver support

2012-05-16T00:23:16Z

This represents the mass deletion of the of the tokenring support. It gets rid of: - the net/tr.c which the drivers depended on - the drivers/net component - the Kbuild infrastructure around it - any tokenring related CONFIG_ settings in any defconfigs - the tokenring headers in the include/linux dir - the firmware associated with the tokenring drivers. - any associated token ring documentation.

David and I are sharing maintenance of this repository. Patches should be sent to both of us. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

isci: Added support for C0 to SCU Driver

2011-07-03T11:04:50Z

C0 silicon updates the pci revision id and requires new AFE parameters for phy signal integrity. Support for previous silicon revisions is deprecated (it's also broken for the theoretical case of multiple controllers at different silicon revisions, all the more reason to get it removed as soon as possible) Signed-off-by: Adam Gruchala [fixed up deprecated silicon support] Signed-off-by: Dan Williams

isci: fix apc mode definition

2011-07-03T10:58:14Z

The original apc mode definition is the correct one, the fix from commit 4711ba10 "isci: fix oem parameter initialization and mode detection" was based on a typo from a specification update. Signed-off-by: Dan Williams
