Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter fixes for net This is a large batch of Netfilter fixes for net, they are: 1) Three patches to fix NAT conversion to rhashtable: Switch to rhlist structure that allows to have several objects with the same key. Moreover, fix wrong comparison logic in nf_nat_bysource_cmp() as this is expecting a return value similar to memcmp(). Change location of the nat_bysource field in the nf_conn structure to avoid zeroing this as it breaks interaction with SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU and lead us to crashes. From Florian Westphal. 2) Don't allow malformed fragments go through in IPv6, drop them, otherwise we hit GPF, patch from Florian Westphal. 3) Fix crash if attributes are missing in nft_range, from Liping Zhang. 4) Fix arptables 32-bits userspace 64-bits kernel compat, from Hongxu Jia. 5) Two patches from David Ahern to fix netfilter interaction with vrf. From David Ahern. 6) Fix element timeout calculation in nf_tables, we take milliseconds from userspace, but we use jiffies from kernelspace. Patch from Anders K. Pedersen. 7) Missing validation length netlink attribute for nft_hash, from Laura Garcia. 8) Fix nf_conntrack_helper documentation, we don't default to off anymore for a bit of time so let's get this in sync with the code. I know is late but I think these are important, specifically the NAT bits, as they are mostly addressing fallout from recent changes. I also read there are chances to have -rc8, if that is the case, that would also give us a bit more time to test this. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Documentation: devicetree: clarify usage of the RGMII phy-modes

2016-11-28T17:06:54Z

RGMII requires special RX and/or TX delays depending on the actual hardware circuit/wiring. These delays can be added by the MAC, the PHY or the designer of the circuit (the latter means that no delay has to be added by PHY or MAC). There are 4 RGMII phy-modes used describe where a delay should be applied: - rgmii: the RX and TX delays are either added by the MAC (where the exact delay is typically configurable, and can be turned off when no extra delay is needed) or not needed at all (because the hardware wiring adds the delay already). The PHY should neither add the RX nor TX delay in this case. - rgmii-rxid: configures the PHY to enable the RX delay. The MAC should not add the RX delay in this case. - rgmii-txid: configures the PHY to enable the TX delay. The MAC should not add the TX delay in this case. - rgmii-id: combines rgmii-rxid and rgmii-txid and thus configures the PHY to enable the RX and TX delays. The MAC should neither add the RX nor TX delay in this case. Document these cases in the ethernet.txt documentation to make it clear when to use each mode. If applied incorrectly one might end up with MAC and PHY both enabling for example the TX delay, which breaks ethernet TX traffic on 1000Mbit/s links.

kvm: kvmclock: let KVM_GET_CLOCK return whether the master clock is in use

2016-11-19T18:04:16Z

Userspace can read the exact value of kvmclock by reading the TSC and fetching the timekeeping parameters out of guest memory. This however is brittle and not necessary anymore with KVM 4.11. Provide a mechanism that lets userspace know if the new KVM_GET_CLOCK semantics are in effect, and---since we are at it---if the clock is stable across all VCPUs.

Merge tag 'omap-for-v4.9/fixes-for-rc-cycle' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap into fixes

2016-11-18T00:37:04Z

Fixes for omaps for v4.9-rc cycle. Except for the omap3 fix for the SoC features printed, all these are quite trivial and tiny. The omap5 jack detection and gpadc patches are not strictly fixes, but I wanted to get binding document typo fixed before it pops up on other boards. The gpadc one liner was in the same series and I applied and pushed it out already before noticing it could have waited. The list of changes is: - Fix omap3 SoC features printed - Make sure OMAP_INTERCONNECT is selected for am43xx only configurations - Add missing memory node for torpedo - Initialize uart4_mask properly to avoid writing garbage to PRM registers - Fix NULL pointer dereference for omap4 volt_data - Add alias for omap5 gpadc needed by iio drivers - Enable omap5 jack headset jack detection and fix it's binding typo - Add missing memory node for logicpd-som-lv - Fix wrong SMPS6 voltage for VDD-DDR3 for omap5 * tag 'omap-for-v4.9/fixes-for-rc-cycle' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap: ARM: dts: omap5: board-common: fix wrong SMPS6 (VDD-DDR3) voltage ARM: omap3: Add missing memory node in SOM-LV ASoC: omap-abe-twl6040: fix typo in bindings documentation dts: omap5: board-common: enable twl6040 headset jack detection dts: omap5: board-common: add phandle to reference Palmas gpadc ARM: OMAP2+: avoid NULL pointer dereference ARM: OMAP2+: PRM: initialize en_uart4_mask and grpsel_uart4_mask ARM: dts: omap3: Fix memory node in Torpedo board ARM: AM43XX: Select OMAP_INTERCONNECT in Kconfig ARM: OMAP3: Fix formatting of features printed Signed-off-by: Olof Johansson

ipmi/bt-bmc: change compatible node to 'aspeed, ast2400-ibt-bmc'

2016-11-18T00:31:09Z

The Aspeed SoCs have two BT interfaces : one is IPMI compliant and the other is H8S/2168 compliant. The current ipmi/bt-bmc driver implements the IPMI version and we should reflect its nature in the compatible node name using 'aspeed,ast2400-ibt-bmc' instead of 'aspeed,ast2400-bt-bmc'. The latter should be used for a H8S interface driver if it is implemented one day. Signed-off-by: Cédric Le Goater Signed-off-by: Olof Johansson
