Conflicts: drivers/net/usb/asix_common.c net/ipv4/inet_connection_sock.c net/switchdev/switchdev.c In the inet_connection_sock.c case the request socket hashing scheme is completely different in net-next. The other two conflicts were overlapping changes. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
