Linus Torvalds 5bb053bef8 Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next
Pull networking updates from David Miller:

 1) Support offloading wireless authentication to userspace via
    NL80211_CMD_EXTERNAL_AUTH, from Srinivas Dasari.

 2) A lot of work on network namespace setup/teardown from Kirill Tkhai.
    Setup and cleanup of namespaces now all run asynchronously and thus
    performance is significantly increased.

 3) Add rx/tx timestamping support to mv88e6xxx driver, from Brandon
    Streiff.

 4) Support zerocopy on RDS sockets, from Sowmini Varadhan.

 5) Use denser instruction encoding in x86 eBPF JIT, from Daniel
    Borkmann.

 6) Support hw offload of vlan filtering in mvpp2 dreiver, from Maxime
    Chevallier.

 7) Support grafting of child qdiscs in mlxsw driver, from Nogah
    Frankel.

 8) Add packet forwarding tests to selftests, from Ido Schimmel.

 9) Deal with sub-optimal GSO packets better in BBR congestion control,
    from Eric Dumazet.

10) Support 5-tuple hashing in ipv6 multipath routing, from David Ahern.

11) Add path MTU tests to selftests, from Stefano Brivio.

12) Various bits of IPSEC offloading support for mlx5, from Aviad
    Yehezkel, Yossi Kuperman, and Saeed Mahameed.

13) Support RSS spreading on ntuple filters in SFC driver, from Edward
    Cree.

14) Lots of sockmap work from John Fastabend. Applications can use eBPF
    to filter sendmsg and sendpage operations.

15) In-kernel receive TLS support, from Dave Watson.

16) Add XDP support to ixgbevf, this is significant because it should
    allow optimized XDP usage in various cloud environments. From Tony
    Nguyen.

17) Add new Intel E800 series "ice" ethernet driver, from Anirudh
    Venkataramanan et al.

18) IP fragmentation match offload support in nfp driver, from Pieter
    Jansen van Vuuren.

19) Support XDP redirect in i40e driver, from Björn Töpel.

20) Add BPF_RAW_TRACEPOINT program type for accessing the arguments of
    tracepoints in their raw form, from Alexei Starovoitov.

21) Lots of striding RQ improvements to mlx5 driver with many
    performance improvements, from Tariq Toukan.

22) Use rhashtable for inet frag reassembly, from Eric Dumazet.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
