Pull networking updates from David Miller:

 1) The addition of nftables.  No longer will we need protocol aware
    firewall filtering modules, it can all live in userspace.

    At the core of nftables is a, for lack of a better term, virtual
    machine that executes byte codes to inspect packet or metadata
    (arriving interface index, etc.) and make verdict decisions.

    Besides support for loading packet contents and comparing them, the
    interpreter supports lookups in various datastructures as
    fundamental operations.  For example sets are supports, and
    therefore one could create a set of whitelist IP address entries
    which have ACCEPT verdicts attached to them, and use the appropriate
    byte codes to do such lookups.

    Since the interpreted code is composed in userspace, userspace can
    do things like optimize things before giving it to the kernel.

    Another major improvement is the capability of atomically updating
    portions of the ruleset.  In the existing netfilter implementation,
    one has to update the entire rule set in order to make a change and
    this is very expensive.

    Userspace tools exist to create nftables rules using existing
    netfilter rule sets, but both kernel implementations will need to
    co-exist for quite some time as we transition from the old to the
    new stuff.

    Kudos to Patrick McHardy, Pablo Neira Ayuso, and others who have
    worked so hard on this.

 2) Daniel Borkmann and Hannes Frederic Sowa made several improvements
    to our pseudo-random number generator, mostly used for things like
    UDP port randomization and netfitler, amongst other things.

    In particular the taus88 generater is updated to taus113, and test
    cases are added.

 3) Support 64-bit rates in HTB and TBF schedulers, from Eric Dumazet
    and Yang Yingliang.

 4) Add support for new 577xx tigon3 chips to tg3 driver, from Nithin
    Sujir.

 5) Fix two fatal flaws in TCP dynamic right sizing, from Eric Dumazet,
    Neal Cardwell, and Yuchung Cheng.

 6) Allow IP_TOS and IP_TTL to be specified in sendmsg() ancillary
    control message data, much like other socket option attributes.
    From Francesco Fusco.

 7) Allow applications to specify a cap on the rate computed
    automatically by the kernel for pacing flows, via a new
    SO_MAX_PACING_RATE socket option.  From Eric Dumazet.

 8) Make the initial autotuned send buffer sizing in TCP more closely
    reflect actual needs, from Eric Dumazet.

 9) Currently early socket demux only happens for TCP sockets, but we
    can do it for connected UDP sockets too.  Implementation from Shawn
    Bohrer.

10) Refactor inet socket demux with the goal of improving hash demux
    performance for listening sockets.  With the main goals being able
    to use RCU lookups on even request sockets, and eliminating the
    listening lock contention.  From Eric Dumazet.

11) The bonding layer has many demuxes in it's fast path, and an RCU
    conversion was started back in 3.11, several changes here extend the
    RCU usage to even more locations.  From Ding Tianhong and Wang
    Yufen, based upon suggestions by Nikolay Aleksandrov and Veaceslav
    Falico.

12) Allow stackability of segmentation offloads to, in particular, allow
    segmentation offloading over tunnels.  From Eric Dumazet.

13) Significantly improve the handling of secret keys we input into the
    various hash functions in the inet hashtables, TCP fast open, as
    well as syncookies.  From Hannes Frederic Sowa.  The key fundamental
    operation is "net_get_random_once()" which uses static keys.

    Hannes even extended this to ipv4/ipv6 fragmentation handling and
    our generic flow dissector.

14) The generic driver layer takes care now to set the driver data to
    NULL on device removal, so it's no longer necessary for drivers to
    explicitly set it to NULL any more.  Many drivers have been cleaned
    up in this way, from Jingoo Han.

15) Add a BPF based packet scheduler classifier, from Daniel Borkmann.

16) Improve CRC32 interfaces and generic SKB checksum iterators so that
    SCTP's checksumming can more cleanly be handled.  Also from Daniel
    Borkmann.

17) Add a new PMTU discovery mode, IP_PMTUDISC_INTERFACE, which forces
    using the interface MTU value.  This helps avoid PMTU attacks,
    particularly on DNS servers.  From Hannes Frederic Sowa.

18) Use generic XPS for transmit queue steering rather than internal
    (re-)implementation in virtio-net.  From Jason Wang.
