Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net
Conflicts were two cases of simple overlapping changes, nothing serious. In the UDP case, we need to add a hlist_add_tail_rcu() to linux/rculist.h, because we've moved UDP socket handling away from using nulls lists. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

+ * Description:
+ * Adds the specified element to the end of the specified hlist_nulls,
+ * while permitting racing traversals. NOTE: tail insertion requires
+ * list traversal.
+ *
+ * The caller must take whatever precautions are necessary
+ * (such as holding appropriate locks) to avoid racing
+ * with another list-mutation primitive, such as hlist_nulls_add_head_rcu()
+ * or hlist_nulls_del_rcu(), running on this same list.
+ * However, it is perfectly legal to run concurrently with
+ * the _rcu list-traversal primitives, such as
+ * hlist_nulls_for_each_entry_rcu(), used to prevent memory-consistency
+ * problems on Alpha CPUs. Regardless of the type of CPU, the
+ * list-traversal primitive must be guarded by rcu_read_lock().
