mainlining shenanigans

Linus Torvalds 4b19a9e20b Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net
Pull networking fixes from David Miller:

 1) Handle multicast packets properly in fast-RX path of mac80211, from
    Johannes Berg.

 2) Because of a logic bug, the user can't actually force SW
    checksumming on r8152 devices. This makes diagnosis of hw
    checksumming bugs really annoying. Fix from Hayes Wang.

 3) VXLAN route lookup does not take the source and destination ports
    into account, which means IPSEC policies cannot be matched properly.
    Fix from Martynas Pumputis.

 4) Do proper RCU locking in netvsc callbacks, from Stephen Hemminger.

 5) Fix SKB leaks in mlxsw driver, from Arkadi Sharshevsky.

 6) If lwtunnel_fill_encap() fails, we do not abort the netlink message
    construction properly in fib_dump_info(), from David Ahern.

 7) Do not use kernel stack for DMA buffers in atusb driver, from Stefan
    Schmidt.

 8) Openvswitch conntack actions need to maintain a correct checksum,
    fix from Lance Richardson.

 9) ax25_disconnect() is missing a check for ax25->sk being NULL, in
    fact it already checks this, but not in all of the necessary spots.
    Fix from Basil Gunn.

10) Action GET operations in the packet scheduler can erroneously bump
    the reference count of the entry, making it unreleasable. Fix from
    Jamal Hadi Salim. Jamal gives a great set of example command lines
    that trigger this in the commit message.

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.
