David S. Miller d31d38a0a9 Merge branch 'ipvlan-packet-scrub'
Mahesh Bandewar says:

====================
ipvlan: packet scrub

While crossing namespace boundary IPvlan aggressively scrubs packets.
This is creating problems. First thing is that scrubbing changes the
packet type in skb meta-data to PACKET_HOST. This causes erroneous
packet delivery when dev_forward_skb() has already marked the packet
type as OTHER_HOST.

On the egress side scrubbing just before calling dev_queue_xmit()
creates another set of problems. Scrubbing remove skb->sk so the
prio update gets missed and more seriously, socket back-pressure
fails making TSQ not function correctly.

The first patch in the series just reverts the earlier change which
was adding a mac-check, but that is unnecessary if packet_type that
dev_forward_skb() has set is honored. The second path removes two of
the scrubs which are causing problems described above.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
