Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net
Pull networking fixes from David Miller: 1) Various sockmap fixes from John Fastabend (pinned map handling, blocking in recvmsg, double page put, error handling during redirect failures, etc.) 2) Fix dead code handling in x86-64 JIT, from Gianluca Borello. 3) Missing device put in RDS IB code, from Dag Moxnes. 4) Don't process fast open during repair mode in TCP< from Yuchung Cheng. 5) Move address/port comparison fixes in SCTP, from Xin Long. 6) Handle add a bond slave's master into a bridge properly, from Hangbin Liu. 7) IPv6 multipath code can operate on unitialized memory due to an assumption that the icmp header is in the linear SKB area. Fix from Eric Dumazet. 8) Don't invoke do_tcp_sendpages() recursively via TLS, from Dave Watson. 9) Fix memory leaks in x86-64 JIT, from Daniel Borkmann. 10) RDS leaks kernel memory to userspace, from Eric Dumazet. 11) DCCP can invoke a tasklet on a freed socket, take a refcount. Also from Eric Dumazet. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: (78 commits) dccp: fix tasklet usage smc: fix sendpage() call net/smc: handle unregistered buffers net/smc: call consolidation qed: fix spelling mistake: "offloded" -> "offloaded" net/mlx5e: fix spelling mistake: "loobpack" -> "loopback" tcp: restore autocorking rds: do not leak kernel memory to user land qmi_wwan: do not steal interfaces from class drivers ipv4: fix fnhe usage by non-cached routes bpf: sockmap, fix error handling in redirect failures bpf: sockmap, zero sg_size on error when buffer is released bpf: sockmap, fix scatterlist update on error path in send with apply net_sched: fq: take care of throttled flows before reuse ipv6: Revert "ipv6: Allow non-gateway ECMP for IPv6" bpf, x64: fix memleak when not converging on calls bpf, x64: fix memleak when not converging after image net/smc: restrict non-blocking connect finish 8139too: Use disable_irq_nosync() in rtl8139_poll_controller() sctp: fix the issue that the cookie-ack with auth can't get processed ...
