Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
"I know this is a bit more than you want to see, and I've told the
wireless folks under no uncertain terms that they must severely scale
back the extent of the fixes they are submitting this late in the
game.
Anyways:
1) vmxnet3's netpoll doesn't perform the equivalent of an ISR, which
is the correct implementation, like it should. Instead it does
something like a NAPI poll operation. This leads to crashes.
From Neil Horman and Arnd Bergmann.
2) Segmentation of SKBs requires proper socket orphaning of the
fragments, otherwise we might access stale state released by the
release callbacks.
This is a 5 patch fix, but the initial patches are giving
variables and such significantly clearer names such that the
actual fix itself at the end looks trivial.
From Michael S. Tsirkin.
3) TCP control block release can deadlock if invoked...
