Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next
Pull networking updates from David Miller: 1) Allow setting bluetooth L2CAP modes via socket option, from Luiz Augusto von Dentz. 2) Add GSO partial support to igc, from Sasha Neftin. 3) Several cleanups and improvements to r8169 from Heiner Kallweit. 4) Add IF_OPER_TESTING link state and use it when ethtool triggers a device self-test. From Andrew Lunn. 5) Start moving away from custom driver versions, use the globally defined kernel version instead, from Leon Romanovsky. 6) Support GRO vis gro_cells in DSA layer, from Alexander Lobakin. 7) Allow hard IRQ deferral during NAPI, from Eric Dumazet. 8) Add sriov and vf support to hinic, from Luo bin. 9) Support Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP) in the bridging code, from Horatiu Vultur. 10) Support netmap in the nft_nat code, from Pablo Neira Ayuso. 11) Allow UDPv6 encapsulation of ESP in the ipsec code, from Sabrina Dubroca. Also add ipv6 support for espintcp. 12) Lots of ReST conversions of the networking documentation, from Mauro Carvalho Chehab. 13) Support configuration of ethtool rxnfc flows in bcmgenet driver, from Doug Berger. 14) Allow to dump cgroup id and filter by it in inet_diag code, from Dmitry Yakunin. 15) Add infrastructure to export netlink attribute policies to userspace, from Johannes Berg. 16) Several optimizations to sch_fq scheduler, from Eric Dumazet. 17) Fallback to the default qdisc if qdisc init fails because otherwise a packet scheduler init failure will make a device inoperative. From Jesper Dangaard Brouer. 18) Several RISCV bpf jit optimizations, from Luke Nelson. 19) Correct the return type of the ->ndo_start_xmit() method in several drivers, it's netdev_tx_t but many drivers were using 'int'. From Yunjian Wang. 20) Add an ethtool interface for PHY master/slave config, from Oleksij Rempel. 21) Add BPF iterators, from Yonghang Song. 22) Add cable test infrastructure, including ethool interfaces, from Andrew Lunn. Marvell PHY driver is the first to support this facility. 23) Remove zero-length arrays all over, from Gustavo A. R. Silva. 24) Calculate and maintain an explicit frame size in XDP, from Jesper Dangaard Brouer. 25) Add CAP_BPF, from Alexei Starovoitov. 26) Support terse dumps in the packet scheduler, from Vlad Buslov. 27) Support XDP_TX bulking in dpaa2 driver, from Ioana Ciornei. 28) Add devm_register_netdev(), from Bartosz Golaszewski. 29) Minimize qdisc resets, from Cong Wang. 30) Get rid of kernel_getsockopt and kernel_setsockopt in order to eliminate set_fs/get_fs calls. From Christoph Hellwig. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next: (2517 commits) selftests: net: ip_defrag: ignore EPERM net_failover: fixed rollback in net_failover_open() Revert "tipc: Fix potential tipc_aead refcnt leak in tipc_crypto_rcv" Revert "tipc: Fix potential tipc_node refcnt leak in tipc_rcv" vmxnet3: allow rx flow hash ops only when rss is enabled hinic: add set_channels ethtool_ops support selftests/bpf: Add a default $(CXX) value tools/bpf: Don't use $(COMPILE.c) bpf, selftests: Use bpf_probe_read_kernel s390/bpf: Use bcr 0,%0 as tail call nop filler s390/bpf: Maintain 8-byte stack alignment selftests/bpf: Fix verifier test selftests/bpf: Fix sample_cnt shared between two threads bpf, selftests: Adapt cls_redirect to call csum_level helper bpf: Add csum_level helper for fixing up csum levels bpf: Fix up bpf_skb_adjust_room helper's skb csum setting sfc: add missing annotation for efx_ef10_try_update_nic_stats_vf() crypto/chtls: IPv6 support for inline TLS Crypto/chcr: Fixes a coccinile check error Crypto/chcr: Fixes compilations warnings ...

+Netfilter Conntrack Sysfs variables
+===================================
+
+/proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_* Variables:
+=================================================
+
+nf_conntrack_acct - BOOLEAN
+ - 0 - disabled (default)
+ - not 0 - enabled
+
+ Enable connection tracking flow accounting. 64-bit byte and packet
+ counters per flow are added.
+
+nf_conntrack_buckets - INTEGER
+ Size of hash table. If not specified as parameter during module
+ loading, the default size is calculated by dividing total memory
+ by 16384 to determine the number of buckets but the hash table will
+ never have fewer than 32 and limited to 16384 buckets. For systems
+ with more than 4GB of memory it will be 65536 buckets.
+ This sysctl is only writeable in the initial net namespace.
+
+nf_conntrack_checksum - BOOLEAN
+ - 0 - disabled
+ - not 0 - enabled (default)
+
+ Verify checksum of incoming packets. Packets with bad checksums are
+ in INVALID state. If this is enabled, such packets will not be
+ considered for connection tracking.
+
+nf_conntrack_count - INTEGER (read-only)
+ Number of currently allocated flow entries.
+
+nf_conntrack_events - BOOLEAN
+ - 0 - disabled
+ - not 0 - enabled (default)
+
+ If this option is enabled, the connection tracking code will
+ provide userspace with connection tracking events via ctnetlink.
+
+nf_conntrack_expect_max - INTEGER
+ Maximum size of expectation table. Default value is
+ nf_conntrack_buckets / 256. Minimum is 1.
+
+nf_conntrack_frag6_high_thresh - INTEGER
+ default 262144
+
+ Maximum memory used to reassemble IPv6 fragments. When
+ nf_conntrack_frag6_high_thresh bytes of memory is allocated for this
+ purpose, the fragment handler will toss packets until
+ nf_conntrack_frag6_low_thresh is reached.
+
+nf_conntrack_frag6_low_thresh - INTEGER
+ default 196608
+
+ See nf_conntrack_frag6_low_thresh
+
+nf_conntrack_frag6_timeout - INTEGER (seconds)
+ default 60
+
+ Time to keep an IPv6 fragment in memory.
+
+nf_conntrack_generic_timeout - INTEGER (seconds)
+ default 600
+
+ Default for generic timeout. This refers to layer 4 unknown/unsupported
+ protocols.
+
+nf_conntrack_helper - BOOLEAN
+ - 0 - disabled (default)
+ - not 0 - enabled
+
+ Enable automatic conntrack helper assignment.
+ If disabled it is required to set up iptables rules to assign
+ helpers to connections. See the CT target description in the
+ iptables-extensions(8) man page for further information.
+
+nf_conntrack_icmp_timeout - INTEGER (seconds)
+ default 30

+
+ Log invalid packets of a type specified by value.
+
+nf_conntrack_max - INTEGER
+ Size of connection tracking table. Default value is
+ nf_conntrack_buckets value * 4.
+
+nf_conntrack_tcp_be_liberal - BOOLEAN
+ - 0 - disabled (default)
+ - not 0 - enabled
+
+ Be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from others.
+ If it's non-zero, we mark only out of window RST segments as INVALID.
+
+nf_conntrack_tcp_loose - BOOLEAN
+ - 0 - disabled
+ - not 0 - enabled (default)
+
+ If it is set to zero, we disable picking up already established
+ connections.
+
+nf_conntrack_tcp_max_retrans - INTEGER
+ default 3
