Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net
There were quite a few overlapping sets of changes here. Daniel's bug fix for off-by-ones in the new BPF branch instructions, along with the added allowances for "data_end > ptr + x" forms collided with the metadata additions. Along with those three changes came veritifer test cases, which in their final form I tried to group together properly. If I had just trimmed GIT's conflict tags as-is, this would have split up the meta tests unnecessarily. In the socketmap code, a set of preemption disabling changes overlapped with the rename of bpf_compute_data_end() to bpf_compute_data_pointers(). Changes were made to the mv88e6060.c driver set addr method which got removed in net-next. The hyperv transport socket layer had a locking change in 'net' which overlapped with a change of socket state macro usage in 'net-next'. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <[email protected]>
