Pull networking updates from David Miller: 1) Add TX fast path in mac80211, from Johannes Berg. 2) Add TSO/GRO support to ibmveth, from Thomas Falcon 3) Move away from cached routes in ipv6, just like ipv4, from Martin KaFai Lau. 4) Lots of new rhashtable tests, from Thomas Graf. 5) Run ingress qdisc lockless, from Alexei Starovoitov. 6) Allow servers to fetch TCP packet headers for SYN packets of new connections, for fingerprinting. From Eric Dumazet. 7) Add mode parameter to pktgen, for testing receive. From Alexei Starovoitov. 8) Cache access optimizations via simplifications of build_skb(), from Alexander Duyck. 9) Move page frag allocator under mm/, also from Alexander. 10) Add xmit_more support to hv_netvsc, from KY Srinivasan. 11) Add a counter guard in case we try to perform endless reclassify loops in the packet scheduler. 12) Extern flow dissector to be programmable and use it in new "Flower" classifier.

+/*
+ * CAIA Delay-Gradient (CDG) congestion control
+ *
+ * This implementation is based on the paper:
+ * D.A. Hayes and G. Armitage. "Revisiting TCP congestion control using
+ * delay gradients." In IFIP Networking, pages 328-341. Springer, 2011.
+ *
+ * Scavenger traffic (Less-than-Best-Effort) should disable coexistence
+ * heuristics using parameters use_shadow=0 and use_ineff=0.
+ *
+ * Parameters window, backoff_beta, and backoff_factor are crucial for
+ * throughput and delay. Future work is needed to determine better defaults,
+ * and to provide guidelines for use in different environments/contexts.
+ *
+ * Except for window, knobs are configured via /sys/module/tcp_cdg/parameters/.
+ * Parameter window is only configurable when loading tcp_cdg as a module.
+ *
+ * Notable differences from paper/FreeBSD:
+ * o Using Hybrid Slow start and Proportional Rate Reduction.
+ * o Add toggle for shadow window mechanism. Suggested by David Hayes.
+ * o Add toggle for non-congestion loss tolerance.
+ * o Scaling parameter G is changed to a backoff factor;
+ * conversion is given by: backoff_factor = 1000/(G * window).
+ * o Limit shadow window to 2 * cwnd, or to cwnd when application limited.
+ * o More accurate e^-x.
