      1) Prohibit the use/abuse of the xfrm netlink interface on
         32/64 bit compatibility tasks. We need a full compat
         layer before we can allow this. From Fan Du.

      Merge branch 'dma_rmb_wmb' · 6fb8c381
      David S. Miller authored
      Alexander Duyck says:
      
      ====================
      Replace wmb()/rmb() with dma_wmb()/dma_rmb() where appropriate, round 2
      
      More cleanup of drivers in order to start making use of dma_rmb and dma_wmb
      calls.  This is another pass of what I would consider to be low hanging
      fruit.  There may be other opportunities to make use of the barriers in the
      Mellanox and Chelsio drivers but I didn't want to risk meddling with code I
      was not completely familiar with so I am leaving that for future work.
      
      I have revisited the Mellanox driver changes.  This time around I went only
      for the sections with a clearly defined pattern.  For dma_wmb I used it
      between accesses of the descriptor bits followed by owner or size.  For
      dma_rmb I used it to replace rmb following a read of the ownership bit in
      the descriptor.

      e100: Use dma_rmb/wmb where appropriate · c335869f
      Alexander Duyck authored
      Reduce the CPU overhead for transmit and receive by using lightweight dma_
      barriers instead of full barriers where they are applicable.

      i40e/i40evf: Use dma_rmb where appropriate · 67317166
      Alexander Duyck authored
      Update i40e and i40evf to use dma_rmb.  This should improve performance by
      decreasing the barrier overhead on strong ordered architectures.

      mlx4/mlx5: Use dma_wmb/rmb where appropriate · 12b3375f
      Alexander Duyck authored
      This patch should help to improve the performance of the mlx4 and mlx5 on a
      number of architectures.  For example, on x86 the dma_wmb/rmb equates out
      to a barrer() call as the architecture is already strong ordered, and on
      PowerPC the call works out to a lwsync which is significantly less expensive
      than the sync call that was being used for wmb.
      
      I placed the new barriers between any spots that seemed to be trying to
      order memory/memory reads or writes, if there are any spots that involved
      MMIO I left the existing wmb in place as the new barriers cannot order
      transactions between coherent and non-coherent memories.
      
      v2: Reduced the replacments to just the spots where I could clearly
          identify the usage pattern.

      vxlan: do not exit on error in vxlan_stop() · f13b1689

      We need to clean up vxlan despite vxlan_igmp_leave() fails.
      
      This fixes the following kernel warning:

      tcp: do not rearm rsk_timer on FastOpen requests · dd929c1b
      Eric Dumazet authored
      FastOpen requests are not like other regular request sockets.
      
      They do not yet use rsk_timer : tcp_fastopen_queue_check()
      simply manually removes one expired request from fastopenq->rskq_rst
      list.
      
      Therefore, tcp_check_req() must not call mod_timer_pending(),
      otherwise we crash because rsk_timer was not initialized.
      
      Fixes: fa76ce73 ("inet: get rid of central tcp/dccp listener timer")
