Ivan Vercera was recently backporting commit
9c13cb8bb4 to a RHEL kernel, and I noticed that,
while this patch protects the tg3 driver from having its ndo_poll_controller
routine called during device initalization, it does nothing for the driver
during shutdown. I.e. it would be entirely possible to have the
ndo_poll_controller method (or subsequently the ndo_poll) routine called for a
driver in the netpoll path on CPU A while in parallel on CPU B, the ndo_close or
ndo_open routine could be called. Given that the two latter routines tend to
initizlize and free many data structures that the former two rely on, the result
can easily be data corruption or various other crashes. Furthermore, it seems
that this is potentially a problem with all net drivers that support netpoll,
and so this should ideally be fixed in a common path.
As Ben H Pointed out to me, we can't preform dev_open/dev_close in atomic
context, so I've come up with this solution. We can use a mutex to sleep in
open/close paths and just do a mutex_trylock in the napi poll path and abandon
the poll attempt if we're locked, as we'll just retry the poll on the next send
anyway.
I've tested this here by flooding netconsole with messages on a system whos nic
driver I modfied to periodically return NETDEV_TX_BUSY, so that the netpoll tx
workqueue would be forced to send frames and poll the device. While this was
going on I rapidly ifdown/up'ed the interface and watched for any problems.
I've not found any.

Calling icmpv6_send() on a local message size error leads to an
incorrect update of the path mtu in the case when IPsec is used.
So use ipv6_local_error() instead to notify the socket about the
error.

====================
This series contains updates to e1000e and ixgbe. Majority of the patches
are against e1000e, where Bruce makes several cosmetic #define moves into
header files. In addition, Bruce does a cleanup of braces to resolve
checkpatch warnings (when using the strict option).
Ixgbe patches contain several fixes as well as updating the copyright. The
fixes from Josh Hay, resolved a possible NULL pointer dereference and
resolved Smatch warnings by fixing return values and memcpy parameters.
Alex provides 2 fixes, the first is to replace rmb() with
read_barrier_depends() in the Tx cleanup. The second fixes an MTU
warning when using SR-IOV which corrects the fact that we were using 1522
to test for the max frame size in ixgbe_change_mtu and 1518 in
ixgbe_set_vf_lpe. The difference was the addition of VLAN_HLEN, which we
only need to add in the case of computing a buffer size, but not a filter
size. Lastly, a patch from Emil which is based on a community patch from
Aurélien Guillaume which adds functions needed for reading SFF-8472
diagnostic data from SFP modules.

All in-tree ipv4 protocol implementations are now namespace

The infrastructure is already pretty much entirely there
to allow this conversion.

and the ipv4 bind lookup includes the namespace in the
lookup key.

When creating unmanaged tunnel sockets we should honour the network namespace
passed to l2tp_tunnel_create. Furthermore, unmanaged tunnel sockets should
not hold a reference to the network namespace lest they accidentally keep
alive a namespace which should otherwise have been released.
Unmanaged tunnel sockets now drop their namespace reference via sk_change_net,
and are released in a new pernet exit callback, l2tp_exit_net.

l2tp_tunnel_create is passed a pointer to the network namespace for the
tunnel, along with an optional file descriptor for the tunnel which may
be passed in from userspace via. netlink.
In the case where the file descriptor is defined, ensure that the namespace
associated with that socket matches the namespace explicitly passed to
l2tp_tunnel_create.

The ipv6 route.c conflict is simple, just ignore the 'net' side change
as we fixed the same problem in 'net-next' by eliminating cached
neighbours from ipv6 routes.
The e1000e conflict is an addition of a new statistic in the ethtool
code, trivial.
The vmxnet3 conflict is about one change in 'net' removing a guarding
conditional, whilst in 'net-next' we had a netdev_info() conversion.
The iwlwifi conflict is dealing with a WARN_ON() conversion in
'net-next' vs. a revert happening in 'net'.

The rmb in the Tx cleanup path is a much stronger barrier than we really need.
