 "What's a holiday weekend without some networking bug fixes? [1]

   1) Fix some eBPF JIT bugs wrt. SKB pointers across helper function
      calls, from Daniel Borkmann.

   2) Fix regression from errata limiting change to marvell PHY driver,
      from Zhao Qiang.

   3) Fix u16 overflow in SCTP, from Xin Long.

   4) Fix potential memory leak during bridge newlink, from Nikolay
      Aleksandrov.

   5) Fix BPF selftest build on s390, from Hendrik Brueckner.

   6) Don't append to cfg80211 automatically generated certs file,
      always write new ones from scratch. From Thierry Reding.

   7) Fix sleep in atomic in mac80211 hwsim, from Jia-Ju Bai.

   8) Fix hang on tg3 MTU change with certain chips, from Brian King.

   9) Add stall detection to arc emac driver and reset chip when this
      happens, from Alexander Kochetkov.

  10) Fix MTU limitng in GRE tunnel drivers, from Xin Long.

  11) Fix stmmac timestamping bug due to mis-shifting of field. From
      Fredrik Hallenberg.

  12) Fix metrics match when deleting an ipv4 route. The kernel sets
      some internal metrics bits which the user isn't going to set when
      it makes the delete request. From Phil Sutter.

  13) mvneta driver loop over RX queues limits on "txq_number" :-) Fix
      from Yelena Krivosheev.

  14) Fix double free and memory corruption in get_net_ns_by_id, from
      Eric W. Biederman.

  15) Flush ipv4 FIB tables in the reverse order. Some tables can share
      their actual backing data, in particular this happens for the MAIN
      and LOCAL tables. We have to kill the LOCAL table first, because
      it uses MAIN's backing memory. Fix from Ido Schimmel.

  16) Several eBPF verifier value tracking fixes, from Edward Cree, Jann
      Horn, and Alexei Starovoitov.

  17) Make changes to ipv6 autoflowlabel sysctl really propagate to
      sockets, unless the socket has set the per-socket value
      explicitly. From Shaohua Li.

  18) Fix leaks and double callback invocations of zerocopy SKBs, from
      Willem de Bruijn"

====================
flow_dissector: Provide basic batman-adv unicast handling

we are currently starting to use batman-adv as mesh protocol on multicore
embedded devices. These usually don't have a lot of CPU power per core but
are reasonable fast when using multiple cores.

It was noticed that sending was working very well but receiving was
basically only using on CPU core per neighbor. The reason for that is
format of the (normal) incoming packet:

  +--------------------+
  | ip(v6)hdr          |
  +--------------------+
  | inner ethhdr       |
  +--------------------+
  | batadv unicast hdr |
  +--------------------+
  | outer ethhdr       |
  +--------------------+

The flow dissector will therefore stop after parsing the outer ethernet
header and will not parse the actual ipv(4|6)/... header of the packet. Our
assumption was now that it would help us to add minimal support to the flow
dissector to jump over the batman-adv unicast and inner ethernet header
(like in gre ETH_P_TEB). The patch was implemented in a slightly hacky
way [1] and the results looked quite promising.

I didn't get any feedback how the files should actually be named. So I am
now just using the names from RFC v3

The discussion of the RFC v3 can be found in the related patches of
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/cover/849345/

The discussion of the RFC v2 can be found in the related patches of
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/cover/844783/

Changes in v4:
==============

* added  patch to change the u8/u16 to __u8/__u16 in
  include/uapi/linux/batadv_packet.h
  - requested by Willem de Bruijn <willemdebruijn.kernel@gmail.com>

Changes in v3:
==============

* removed change of uapi/linux/batman_adv.h to uapi/linux/batadv_genl.h
  - requested by Willem de Bruijn <willemdebruijn.kernel@gmail.com>
* removed naming fixes for enums/defines in uapi/linux/batadv_genl.h
  - requested by Willem de Bruijn <willemdebruijn.kernel@gmail.com>
* renamed uapi/linux/batadv.h to uapi/linux/batadv_packet.h
* moved batadv dissector functionality in own function
  - requested by Tom Herbert <tom@herbertland.com>
* added support for flags FLOW_DISSECTOR_F_STOP_AT_ENCAP and
  FLOW_DIS_ENCAPSULATION
  - requested by Willem de Bruijn <willemdebruijn.kernel@gmail.com>

Changes in v2:
==============

* removed the batman-adv unicast packet header definition from flow_dissector.c
* moved the batman-adv packet.h/uapi headers around to provide the correct
  definitions to flow_dissector.c
