      Pull networking fixes from David Miller:

 1) IPVS oops'ers:
   a) Should not reset skb->nf_bridge in forwarding hook (Lin Ming)
   b) 3.4 commit can cause ip_vs_control_cleanup to be invoked after
      the ipvs_core_ops are unregistered during rmmod (Julian ANastasov)

 2) ixgbevf bringup failure can crash in TX descriptor cleanup
    (Alexander Duyck)

 3) AX25 switch missing break statement hoses ROSE sockets (Alan Cox)

 4) CAIF accesses freed per-net memory (Sjur Brandeland)

 5) Network cgroup code has out-or-bounds accesses (Eric DUmazet), and
    accesses freed memory (Gao Feng)

 6) Fix a crash in SCTP reported by Dave Jones caused by freeing an
    association still on a list (Neil HOrman)

 7) __netdev_alloc_skb() regresses on GFP_DMA using drivers because that
    GFP flag is not being retained for the allocation (Eric Dumazet).

 8) Missing NULL hceck in sch_sfb netlink message parsing (Alan Cox)

 9) bnx2 crashes because TX index iteration is not bounded correctly
    (Michael Chan)

10) IPoIB generates warnings in TCP queue collapsing (via
    skb_try_coalesce) because it does not set skb->truesize correctly
    (Eric Dumazet)

11) vlan_info objects leak for the implicit vlan with ID 0 (Amir
    Hanania)

12) A fix for TX time stamp handling in gianfar does not transfer socket
    ownership from one packet to another correctly, resulting in a
    socket write space imbalance (Eric Dumazet)

13) Julia Lawall found several cases where we do a list iteration, and
    then at the loop termination unconditionally assume we ended up with
    real list object, rather than the list head itself (CNIC, RXRPC,
    mISDN).

14) The bonding driver handles procfs moving incorrectly when a device
    it manages is moved from one namespace to another (Eric Biederman)

15) Missing memory barriers in stmmac descriptor accesses result in
    various crashes (Deepak Sikri)

16) Fix handling of broadcast packets in batman-adv (Simon Wunderlich)

17) Properly check the sanity of sendmsg() lengths in ieee802154's
    dgram_sendmsg().  Dave Jones and others have hit and reported this
    bug (Sasha Levin)

18) Some drivers (b44 and b43legacy) on 64-bit machines stopped working
    because of how netdev_alloc_skb() was adjusted.  Such drivers should
    now use alloc_skb() for obtaining bounce buffers.  (Eric Dumazet)

19) atl1c mis-managed it's link state in that it stops the queue by hand
    on link down.  The generic networking takes care of that and this
    double stop locks the queue down.  So simply removing the driver's
    queue stop call fixes the problem (Cloud Ren)

20) Fix out-of-memory due to mis-accounting in net_em packet scheduler
    (Eric Dumazet)

21) If DCB and SR-IOV are configured at the same time in IXGBE the chip
    will hang because this is not supported (Alexander Duyck)

22) A commit to stop drivers using netdev->base_addr broke the CNIC
    driver (Michael Chan)

23) Timeout regression in ipset caused by an attempt to fix an overflow
    bug (Jozsef Kadlecsik).

24) mac80211 minstrel code allocates memory using incorrect size
    (Thomas Huehn)

25) llcp_sock_getname() needs to check for a NULL device otherwise we
    OOPS (Sasha Levin)

26) mwifiex leaks memory (Bing Zhao)

27) Propagate iwlwifi fix to iwlegacy, even when we're not associated
    we need to monitor for stuck queues in the watchdog handler
    (Stanislaw Geuszka)

Pablo Neira Ayuso says:

====================
I know that we're in fairly late stage to request pulls, but the IPVS people
pinged me with little patches with oops fixes last week.

One of them was recently introduced (during the 3.4 development cycle) while
cleaning up the IPVS netns support. They are:

* Fix one regression introduced in 3.4 while cleaning up the
  netns support for IPVS, from Julian Anastasov.

* Fix one oops triggered due to resetting the conntrack attached to the skb
  instead of just putting it in the forward hook, from Lin Ming. This problem
  seems to be there since 2.6.37 according to Simon Horman.

      rpmsg: fix dependency on initialization order · 96342526
      Federico Fuga authored 
      

When rpmsg drivers are built into the kernel, they must not initialize
before the rpmsg bus does, otherwise they'd trigger a BUG() in
drivers/base/driver.c line 169 (driver_register()).

To fix that, and to stop depending on arbitrary linkage ordering of
those built-in rpmsg drivers, we make the rpmsg bus initialize at
subsys_initcall.

      ipvs: fix oops in ip_vs_dst_event on rmmod · 283283c4
      Julian Anastasov authored 
      	After commit 39f618b4

 (3.4)
"ipvs: reset ipvs pointer in netns" we can oops in
ip_vs_dst_event on rmmod ip_vs because ip_vs_control_cleanup
is called after the ipvs_core_ops subsys is unregistered and
net->ipvs is NULL. Fix it by exiting early from ip_vs_dst_event
if ipvs is NULL. It is safe because all services and dests
for the net are already freed.
