      Pull networking updates from David Miller:
      
       1) New offloading infrastructure and example 'rocker' driver for
          offloading of switching and routing to hardware.
      
          This work was done by a large group of dedicated individuals, not
          limited to: Scott Feldman, Jiri Pirko, Thomas Graf, John Fastabend,
          Jamal Hadi Salim, Andy Gospodarek, Florian Fainelli, Roopa Prabhu
      
       2) Start making the networking operate on IOV iterators instead of
          modifying iov objects in-situ during transfers.  Thanks to Al Viro
          and Herbert Xu.
      
       3) A set of new netlink interfaces for the TIPC stack, from Richard
          Alpe.
      
       4) Remove unnecessary looping during ipv6 routing lookups, from Martin
          KaFai Lau.
      
       5) Add PAUSE frame generation support to gianfar driver, from Matei
          Pavaluca.
      
       6) Allow for larger reordering levels in TCP, which are easily
          achievable in the real world right now, from Eric Dumazet.
      
       7) Add a variable of napi_schedule that doesn't need to disable cpu
          interrupts, from Eric Dumazet.
      
       8) Use a doubly linked list to optimize neigh_parms_release(), from
          Nicolas Dichtel.
      
       9) Various enhancements to the kernel BPF verifier, and allow eBPF
          programs to actually be attached to sockets.  From Alexei
          Starovoitov.
      
      10) Support TSO/LSO in sunvnet driver, from David L Stevens.
      
      11) Allow controlling ECN usage via routing metrics, from Florian
          Westphal.
      
      12) Remote checksum offload, from Tom Herbert.
      
      13) Add split-header receive, BQL, and xmit_more support to amd-xgbe
          driver, from Thomas Lendacky.
      
      14) Add MPLS support to openvswitch, from Simon Horman.
      
      15) Support wildcard tunnel endpoints in ipv6 tunnels, from Steffen
          Klassert.
      
      16) Do gro flushes on a per-device basis using a timer, from Eric
          Dumazet.  This tries to resolve the conflicting goals between the
          desired handling of bulk vs.  RPC-like traffic.
      
      17) Allow userspace to ask for the CPU upon what a packet was
          received/steered, via SO_INCOMING_CPU.  From Eric Dumazet.
      
      18) Limit GSO packets to half the current congestion window, from Eric
          Dumazet.
      
      19) Add a generic helper so that all drivers set their RSS keys in a
          consistent way, from Eric Dumazet.
      
      20) Add xmit_more support to enic driver, from Govindarajulu
          Varadarajan.
      
      21) Add VLAN packet scheduler action, from Jiri Pirko.

      Pull sound updates from Takashi Iwai:
       "This became a fairly large pull request.  In addition to the usual
        driver updates / fixes, there have been a high amount of cleanups in
        ASoC area, as well as control API helpers and kernel documentations
        fixes touching through the whole tree.
      
        In the driver side, the biggest changes are the support for new Intel
        SoC found on new x86 machines, and the updates of FireWire dice and
        oxfw drivers.
      
        Some remarkable items are below:
      
        ALSA core:
         - PCM mmap code cleanup, removal of arch-dependent codes
         - PCM xrun injection support
         - PCM hwptr tracepoint support
         - Refactoring of snd_pcm_action(), simplification of PCM locking
         - Robustified sequecner auto-load functionality
         - New control API helpers and lots of cleanups along with them
         - Lots of kerneldoc fixes and cleanups
      
        USB-audio:
         - The mixer resume code was largely rewritten, and the devices with
           quirks are resumed properly.
         - New hardware support: Focusrite Scarlett, Digidesign Mbox1,
           Denon/Marantz DACs, Zoom R16/24
      
        FireWire:
         - DICE driver updates with better duplex and sync support, including
           MIDI support
         - New OXFW driver for Oxford Semiconductor FW970/971 chipset,
           including the previous LaCie Speakers device.  Fullduplex and MIDI
           support included as well as DICE driver.
      
        HD-audio:
         - Refactoring the driver-caps quirk handling in snd-hda-intel
         - More consistent control names representing the topology better
         - Fixups: HP mute LED with ALC268 codec, Ideapad S210 built-in mic
           fix, ASUS Z99He laptop EAPD
      
        ASoC:
         - Conversion of AC'97 drivers to use regmap, bringing us closer to
           the removal of the ASoC level I/O code
         - Clean up a lot of old drivers that were open coding things that
           have subsequently been implemented in the core
         - Some DAPM performance improvements
         - Removal of the now seldom used CODEC mutex
         - Lots of updates for the newer Intel SoC support, including support
           for the DSP and some Cherrytrail and Braswell machine drivers
         - Support for Samsung boards using rt5631 as the CODEC
         - Removal of the obsolete AFEB9260 machine driver
         - Driver support for the TI TS3A227E headset driver used in some
           Chrombeooks
      
        Others:
         - ASIHPI driver update and cleanups
         - Lots of dev_*() printk conversions
         - Lots of trivial cleanups for the codes spotted by Coccinelle"

      Pull devicetree changes from Grant Likely:
       "Lots of activity in the devicetree code for v3.18.  Most of it is
        related to getting all of the overlay support code in place, but there
        are other important things in there.
      
        Highlights:
      
         - OF_RECONFIG notifiers for SPI, I2C and Platform devices.  Those
           subsystems can now respond to live changes to the device tree.
      
         - CONFIG_OF_OVERLAY method for applying live changes to the device
           tree
      
         - Removal of the of_allnodes list.  This used to be used to iterate
           over all the nodes in the device tree, but it is unnecessary
           because the same thing can be done by iterating over the list of
           child pointers.  Getting rid of of_allnodes saves some memory and
           avoids the possibility of of_allnodes being sorted differently from
           the child lists.
      
         - Support for retrieving original DTB blob via sysfs.  Needed by
           kexec.
      
         - More unittests
      
         - Documentation and minor bug fixes"
