Pull networking fixes from David Miller: 1) Fix jmp to 1st instruction in x64 JIT, from Alexei Starovoitov. 2) Severl kTLS fixes in mlx5 driver, from Tariq Toukan. 3) Fix severe performance regression due to lack of SKB coalescing of fragments during local delivery, from Guillaume Nault. 4) Error path memory leak in sch_taprio, from Ivan Khoronzhuk. 5) Fix batched events in skbedit packet action, from Roman Mashak. 6) Propagate VLAN TX offload to hw_enc_features in bond and team drivers, from Yue Haibing. 7) RXRPC local endpoint refcounting fix and read after free in rxrpc_queue_local(), from David Howells. 8) Fix endian bug in ibmveth multicast list handling, from Thomas Falcon. 9) Oops, make nlmsg_parse() wrap around the correct function, __nlmsg_parse not __nla_parse(). Fix from David Ahern. 10) Memleak in sctp_scend_reset_streams(), fro Zheng Bin. 11) Fix memory leak in cxgb4, from Wenwen Wang. 12) Yet another race in AF_PACKET, from Eric Dumazet. 13) Fix false detection of retransmit failures in tipc, from Tuong Lien. 14) Use after free in ravb_tstamp_skb, from Tho Vu. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net: (101 commits) ravb: Fix use-after-free ravb_tstamp_skb netfilter: nf_tables: map basechain priority to hardware priority net: sched: use major priority number as hardware priority wimax/i2400m: fix a memory leak bug net: cavium: fix driver name ibmvnic: Unmap DMA address of TX descriptor buffers after use bnxt_en: Fix to include flow direction in L2 key bnxt_en: Use correct src_fid to determine direction of the flow bnxt_en: Suppress HWRM errors for HWRM_NVM_GET_VARIABLE command bnxt_en: Fix handling FRAG_ERR when NVM_INSTALL_UPDATE cmd fails bnxt_en: Improve RX doorbell sequence. bnxt_en: Fix VNIC clearing logic for 57500 chips. net: kalmia: fix memory leaks cx82310_eth: fix a memory leak bug bnx2x: Fix VF's VLAN reconfiguration in reload.

-skb_orphan() leaks clear text
------------------------------
-
-Currently drivers depend on the :c:member:`sk` member of
-:c:type:`struct sk_buff <sk_buff>` to identify segments requiring
-encryption. Any operation which removes or does not preserve the socket
-association such as :c:func:`skb_orphan` or :c:func:`skb_clone`
-will cause the driver to miss the packets and lead to clear text leaks.
-
-Redirects leak clear text
--------------------------
-
-In the RX direction, if segment has already been decrypted by the device
-and it gets redirected or mirrored - clear text will be transmitted out.
