Pull networking fixes from David Miller: 1) Fix negative error code usage in ATM layer, from Stefan Hajnoczi. 2) If CONFIG_SYSCTL is disabled, the default TTL is not initialized properly. From Ezequiel Garcia. 3) Missing spinlock init in mvneta driver, from Gregory CLEMENT. 4) Missing unlocks in hwmb error paths, also from Gregory CLEMENT. 5) Fix deadlock on team->lock when propagating features, from Ivan Vecera. 6) Work around buffer offset hw bug in alx chips, from Feng Tang. 7) Fix double listing of SCTP entries in sctp_diag dumps, from Xin Long. 8) Various statistics bug fixes in mlx4 from Eric Dumazet. 9) Fix some randconfig build errors wrt fou ipv6 from Arnd Bergmann. 10) All of l2tp was namespace aware, but the ipv6 support code was not doing so. From Shmulik Ladkani. 11) Handle on-stack hrtimers properly in pktgen, from Guenter Roeck. 12) Propagate MAC changes properly through VLAN devices, from Mike Manning. 13) Fix memory leak in bnx2x_init_one(), from Vitaly Kuznetsov. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: (62 commits) sfc: Track RPS flow IDs per channel instead of per function usbnet: smsc95xx: fix link detection for disabled autonegotiation virtio_net: fix virtnet_open and virtnet_probe competing for try_fill_recv bnx2x: avoid leaking memory on bnx2x_init_one() failures fou: fix IPv6 Kconfig options openvswitch: update checksum in {push,pop}_mpls sctp: sctp_diag should dump sctp socket type net: fec: update dirty_tx even if no skb vlan: Propagate MAC address to VLANs atm: iphase: off by one in rx_pkt() atm: firestream: add more reserved strings vxlan: Accept user specified MTU value when create new vxlan link net: pktgen: Call destroy_hrtimer_on_stack() timer: Export destroy_hrtimer_on_stack() net: l2tp: Make l2tp_ip6 namespace aware Documentation: ip-sysctl.txt: clarify secure_redirects sfc: use flow dissector helpers for aRFS ieee802154: fix logic error in ieee802154_llsec_parse_dev_addr net: nps_enet: Disable interrupts before napi reschedule net/lapb: tuse %*ph to dump buffers ...
