      Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
      
       1) Fix erroneous sock_orphan() leading to crashes and double
          kfree_skb() in NFC protocol.  From Thierry Escande and Samuel Ortiz.
      
       2) Fix use after free in remain-on-channel mac80211 code, from Johannes
          Berg.
      
       3) nf_reset() needs to reset the NF tracing cookie, otherwise we can
          leak it from one namespace into another.  Fix from Gao Feng and
          Patrick McHardy.
      
       4) Fix overflow in channel scanning array of mwifiex driver, from Stone
          Piao.
      
       5) Fix loss of link after suspend/shutdown in r8169, from Hayes Wang.
      
       6) Synchronization of unicast address lists to the undelying device
          doesn't work because whether to sync is maintained as a boolean
          rather than a true count.  Fix from Vlad Yasevich.
      
       7) Fix corruption of TSO packets in atl1e by limiting the segmented
          packet length.  From Hannes Frederic Sowa.
      
       8) Revert bogus AF_UNIX credential passing change and fix the
          coalescing issue properly, from Eric W Biederman.
      
       9) Changes of ipv4 address lifetime settings needs to generate a
          notification, from Jiri Pirko.

      netfilter: don't reset nf_trace in nf_reset() · 124dff01
      Patrick McHardy authored
      Commit 130549fe ("netfilter: reset nf_trace in nf_reset") added code
      to reset nf_trace in nf_reset(). This is wrong and unnecessary.
      
      nf_reset() is used in the following cases:
      
      - when passing packets up the the socket layer, at which point we want to
        release all netfilter references that might keep modules pinned while
        the packet is queued. nf_trace doesn't matter anymore at this point.
      
      - when encapsulating or decapsulating IPsec packets. We want to continue
        tracing these packets after IPsec processing.
      
      - when passing packets through virtual network devices. Only devices on
        that encapsulate in IPv4/v6 matter since otherwise nf_trace is not
        used anymore. Its not entirely clear whether those packets should
        be traced after that, however we've always done that.
      
      - when passing packets through virtual network devices that make the
        packet cross network namespace boundaries. This is the only cases
        where we clearly want to reset nf_trace and is also what the
        original patch intended to fix.
      
      Add a new function nf_reset_trace() and use it in dev_forward_skb() to
      fix this properly.
