      ====================
      pull-request: can 2016-10-31
      
      this is a pull request of two patches for the upcoming v4.9 release.
      
      The first patch is by Lukas Resch for the sja1000 plx_pci driver that adds
      support for Moxa CAN devices. The second patch is by Oliver Hartkopp and fixes
      a potential kernel panic in the CAN broadcast manager.

      bgmac: stop clearing DMA receive control register right after it is set · fcdefcca
      Andy Gospodarek authored
      Current bgmac code initializes some DMA settings in the receive control
      register for some hardware and then immediately clears those settings.
      Not clearing those settings results in ~420Mbps *improvement* in
      throughput; this system can now receive frames at line-rate on Broadcom
      5871x hardware compared to ~520Mbps today.  I also tested a few other
      values but found there to be no discernible difference in CPU
      utilization even if burst size and prefetching values are different.
      
      On the hardware tested there was no need to keep the code that cleared
      all but bits 16-17, but since there is a wide variety of hardware that
      used this driver (I did not look at all hardware docs for hardware using
      this IP block), I find it wise to move this call up and clear bits just
      after reading the default value from the hardware rather than completely
      removing it.
      
      This is a good candidate for -stable >=3.14 since that is when the code
      that was supposed to improve performance (but did not) was introduced.

      geneve: avoid using stale geneve socket. · fceb9c3e
      pravin shelar authored
      This patch is similar to earlier vxlan patch.
      Geneve device close operation frees geneve socket. This
      operation can race with geneve-xmit function which
      dereferences geneve socket. Following patch uses RCU
      mechanism to avoid this situation.

      qede: Fix out-of-bound fastpath memory access · 087892d2
      Mintz, Yuval authored
      Driver allocates a shadow array for transmitted SKBs with X entries;
      That means valid indices are {0,...,X - 1}. [X == 8191]
      Problem is the driver also uses X as a mask for a
      producer/consumer in order to choose the right entry in the
      array which allows access to entry X which is out of bounds.
      
      To fix this, simply allocate X + 1 entries in the shadow array.
