====================
here's a pull request for net-next.
It includes a patch by Oliver Hartkopp et al. that adds documentation
for the broadcast manager to Documentation/networking/can.txt. Three
patches by me that clean up the netlink handling code in the CAN core.
And another patch that removes a not needed function from the ti_hecc
driver.

Slow start now increases cwnd by 1 if an ACK acknowledges some packets,
regardless the number of packets. Consequently slow start performance
is highly dependent on the degree of the stretch ACKs caused by
receiver or network ACK compression mechanisms (e.g., delayed-ACK,
GRO, etc). But slow start algorithm is to send twice the amount of
packets of packets left so it should process a stretch ACK of degree
N as if N ACKs of degree 1, then exits when cwnd exceeds ssthresh. A
follow up patch will use the remainder of the N (if greater than 1)
to adjust cwnd in the congestion avoidance phase.
In addition this patch retires the experimental limited slow start
(LSS) feature. LSS has multiple drawbacks but questionable benefit. The
fractional cwnd increase in LSS requires a loop in slow start even
though it's rarely used. Configuring such an increase step via a global
sysctl on different BDPS seems hard. Finally and most importantly the
slow start overshoot concern is now better covered by the Hybrid slow
start (hystart) enabled by default.

Applications have started to use Fast Open (e.g., Chrome browser has
such an optional flag) and the feature has gone through several
generations of kernels since 3.7 with many real network tests. It's
time to enable this flag by default for applications to test more
conveniently and extensively.

Conflicts:
drivers/net/ethernet/emulex/benet/be.h
drivers/net/netconsole.c
net/bridge/br_private.h
Three mostly trivial conflicts.
The net/bridge/br_private.h conflict was a function signature (argument
addition) change overlapping with the extern removals from Joe Perches.
In drivers/net/netconsole.c we had one change adjusting a printk message
whilst another changed "printk(KERN_INFO" into "pr_info(".
Lastly, the emulex change was a new inline function addition overlapping
with Joe Perches's extern removals.

Joby Poriyath provided a xen-netback patch to reduce the size of
xenvif structure as some netdev allocation could fail under
memory pressure/fragmentation.
This patch is handling the problem at the core level, allowing
any netdev structures to use vmalloc() if kmalloc() failed.
As vmalloc() adds overhead on a critical network path, add __GFP_REPEAT
to kzalloc() flags to do this fallback only when really needed.

15) IPV6 GRE tunnel MTU upper limit is miscalculated, from Oussama
Ghorbel.
16) Fix typo in fq_change(), we were assigning "initial quantum" to
"quantum". From Eric Dumazet.
17) Set a more appropriate sk_pacing_rate for non-TCP sockets, otherwise
FQ packet scheduler does not pace those flows properly. Also from
Eric Dumazet.
18) rtlwifi miscalculates packet pointers, from Mark Cave-Ayland.
19) l2tp_xmit_skb() can be called from process context, not just softirq
context, so we must always make sure to BH disable around it. From
Eric Dumazet.
20) On qdisc reset, we forget to purge the RB tree of SKBs in netem
packet scheduler. From Stephen Hemminger.

Carpenter and Salva Peiró.
22) Fix PHY reset and other issues in dm9000 driver, from Nikita
Kiryanov and Michael Abbott.
23) When hardware can do SCTP crc32 checksums, we accidently don't

applied. From Fan Du and Vlad Yasevich.
24) Tail loss probing in TCP leaves the socket in the wrong congestion
avoidance state. From Yuchung Cheng.

Markus Pargmann.
26) Integer underflow and dual-assignment in YAM hamradio driver, from
Dan Carpenter.

unclone it. This fixes various hard to track down crashes in
drivers where the SKBs ->gso_segs was changing right from underneath
the driver during TX queueing. From Eric Dumazet.
28) Fix the handling of VLAN IDs, and in particular the special IDs 0
and 4095, in the bridging layer. From Toshiaki Makita.

34) When we removed the explicit neighbour pointer from ipv6 routes a
slight regression was introduced for users such as IPVS, xt_TEE, and
raw sockets. We mix up the users requested destination address with
the routes assigned nexthop/gateway. From Julian Anastasov and
Simon Horman.
35) Fix stack overruns in rt6_probe(), the issue is that can end up
doing two full packet xmit paths at the same time when emitting
neighbour discovery messages. From Hannes Frederic Sowa.
36) davinci_emac driver doesn't handle IFF_ALLMULTI correctly, from
Mariusz Ceier.

The bug fixes removes a scary but harmless warning on SPARC that was

that makes the new code work on SPARC.
On the plus side, the diffstat looks *awesome*. I love removing lines
