Commit a985343ba9 ("vxlan: refactor verification and application of
configuration") modified vxlan device creation, and replaced the
assignment of vxlan->net to src_net with dev_net(netdev) in ->setup().
But dev_net(netdev) is not the same as src_net. At the time ->setup()
is called, dev_net hasn't been set yet, so we end up creating the
socket for the vxlan device in init_net.
Fix this by bringing back the assignment of vxlan->net during device
creation.

The CDC-NCM driver can require large amounts of memory to create
skb's and this can be a problem when the memory becomes fragmented.
This especially affects embedded systems that have constrained
resources but wish to maximise the throughput of CDC-NCM with 16KiB
NTB's.
The issue is after running for a while the kernel memory can become
fragmented and it needs compacting.
If the NTB allocation is needed before the memory has been compacted
the atomic allocation can fail which can cause increased latency,
large re-transmissions or disconnections depending upon the data
being transmitted at the time.
This situation occurs for less than a second until the kernel has
compacted the memory but the failed devices can take a lot longer to
recover from the failed TX packets.
To ease this temporary situation I modified the CDC-NCM TX path to
temporarily switch into a reduced memory mode which allocates an NTB
that will fit into a USB_CDC_NCM_NTB_MIN_OUT_SIZE (default 2048 Bytes)
sized memory block and only transmit NTB's with a single network frame
until the memory situation is resolved.
Each time this issue occurs we wait for an increasing number of
reduced size allocations before requesting a full size one to not
put additional pressure on a low memory system.
Once the memory is compacted the CDC-NCM data can resume transmitting
at the normal tx_max rate once again.

====================
bpf: Add support for sock_ops
Created a new BPF program type, BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCK_OPS, and a corresponding
struct that allows BPF programs of this type to access some of the
socket's fields (such as IP addresses, ports, etc.) and setting
connection parameters such as buffer sizes, initial window, SYN/SYN-ACK
RTOs, etc.
Unlike current BPF program types that expect to be called at a particular
place in the network stack code, SOCK_OPS program can be called at
different places and use an "op" field to indicate the context. There
are currently two types of operations, those whose effect is through
their return value and those whose effect is through the new
bpf_setsocketop BPF helper function.
Example operands of the first type are:
BPF_SOCK_OPS_TIMEOUT_INIT
BPF_SOCK_OPS_RWND_INIT
BPF_SOCK_OPS_NEEDS_ECN
Example operands of the secont type are:
BPF_SOCK_OPS_TCP_CONNECT_CB
BPF_SOCK_OPS_ACTIVE_ESTABLISHED_CB
BPF_SOCK_OPS_PASSIVE_ESTABLISHED_CB
Current operands are only called during connection establishment so
there should not be any BPF overheads after connection establishment. The
main idea is to use connection information form both hosts, such as IP
addresses and ports to allow setting of per connection parameters to
optimize the connection's peformance.
Alghough there are already 3 mechanisms to set parameters (sysctls,
route metrics and setsockopts), this new mechanism provides some
disticnt advantages. Unlike sysctls, it can set parameters per
connection. In contrast to route metrics, it can also use port numbers
and information provided by a user level program. In addition, it could
set parameters probabilistically for evaluation purposes (i.e. do
something different on 10% of the flows and compare results with the
other 90% of the flows). Also, in cases where IPv6 addresses contain
geographic information, the rules to make changes based on the distance
(or RTT) between the hosts are much easier than route metric rules and
can be global. Finally, unlike setsockopt, it does not require
application changes and it can be updated easily at any time.
It uses the existing bpf cgroups infrastructure so the programs can be
attached per cgroup with full inheritance support. Although the bpf cgroup
framework already contains a sock related program type (BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCK),
I created the new type (BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCK_OPS) beccause the existing type
expects to be called only once during the connections's lifetime. In contrast,
the new program type will be called multiple times from different places in the
network stack code. For example, before sending SYN and SYN-ACKs to set
an appropriate timeout, when the connection is established to set congestion
control, etc. As a result it has "op" field to specify the type of operation
requested.
This patch set also includes sample BPF programs to demostrate the differnet
features.
v2: Formatting changes, rebased to latest net-next
v3: Fixed build issues, changed socket_ops to sock_ops throught,
fixed formatting issues, removed the syscall to load sock_ops
program and added functionality to use existing bpf attach and
bpf detach system calls, removed reader/writer locks in
sock_bpfops.c (used when saving sock_ops global program)
and fixed missing module refcount increment.
v4: Removed global sock_ops program and instead used existing cgroup bpf
infrastructure to support a new BPF_CGROUP_ATTCH type.
v5: fixed kbuild warning happening in bpf-cgroup.h
removed automatic converstion to host byte order from some sock_ops
fields (ipv4 and ipv6 addresses, remote port)
Added conversion to host byte order in some of the sample programs
Added to sample BPF program comments about using load_sock_ops to load

Currently there are two types of ops. The first type expects the BPF
program to return a value which is then used by the caller (or a
negative value to indicate the operation is not supported). The second
type expects state changes to be done by the BPF program, for example
through a setsockopt BPF helper function, and they ignore the return
value.
The reply fields of the bpf_sockt_ops struct are there in case a bpf
program needs to return a value larger than an integer.

pull request: bluetooth-next 2017-07-01
Here are some more Bluetooth patches for the 4.13 kernel:
- Added support for Broadcom BCM43430 controllers
- Added sockaddr length checks before accessing sa_family
- Fixed possible "might sleep" errors in bnep, cmtp and hidp modules
- A few other minor fixes
Please let me know if there are any issues pulling. Thanks.

Based on a request raised on the sctp devel list, there is a need to
augment the sctp_peeloff operation while specifying the O_CLOEXEC and
O_NONBLOCK flags (simmilar to the socket syscall). Since modifying the
SCTP_SOCKOPT_PEELOFF socket option would break user space ABI for existing
programs, this patch creates a new socket option
SCTP_SOCKOPT_PEELOFF_FLAGS, which accepts a third flags parameter to
allow atomic assignment of the socket descriptor flags.
Tested successfully by myself and the requestor

sfc: small MCDI cleanups
Giving the full MCDI event rather than just the code can aid in
debugging. While fixing this I noticed an outdated comment.
