    Pull networking changes from David Miller:
    
    1) Allow to dump, monitor, and change the bridge multicast database
       using netlink.  From Cong Wang.
    
    2) RFC 5961 TCP blind data injection attack mitigation, from Eric
       Dumazet.
    
    3) Networking user namespace support from Eric W. Biederman.
    
    4) tuntap/virtio-net multiqueue support by Jason Wang.
    
    5) Support for checksum offload of encapsulated packets (basically,
       tunneled traffic can still be checksummed by HW).  From Joseph
       Gasparakis.
    
    6) Allow BPF filter access to VLAN tags, from Eric Dumazet and
       Daniel Borkmann.
    
    7) Bridge port parameters over netlink and BPDU blocking support
       from Stephen Hemminger.
    
    8) Improve data access patterns during inet socket demux by rearranging
       socket layout, from Eric Dumazet.
    
    9) TIPC protocol updates and cleanups from Ying Xue, Paul Gortmaker, and
       Jon Maloy.
    
    10) Update TCP socket hash sizing to be more in line with current day
        realities.  The existing heurstics were choosen a decade ago.
        From Eric Dumazet.
    
    11) Fix races, queue bloat, and excessive wakeups in ATM and
        associated drivers, from Krzysztof Mazur and David Woodhouse.
    
    12) Support DOVE (Distributed Overlay Virtual Ethernet) extensions
        in VXLAN driver, from David Stevens.
    
    13) Add "oops_only" mode to netconsole, from Amerigo Wang.
    
    14) Support set and query of VEB/VEPA bridge mode via PF_BRIDGE, also
        allow DCB netlink to work on namespaces other than the initial
        namespace.  From John Fastabend.
    
    15) Support PTP in the Tigon3 driver, from Matt Carlson.
    
    16) tun/vhost zero copy fixes and improvements, plus turn it on
        by default, from Michael S. Tsirkin.
    
    17) Support per-association statistics in SCTP, from Michele
        Baldessari.
    
    And many, many, driver updates, cleanups, and improvements.  Too
    numerous to mention individually.
