    Pull networking updates from David Miller:
     "Reasonably busy this cycle, but perhaps not as busy as in the 4.12
      merge window:
    
       1) Several optimizations for UDP processing under high load from
          Paolo Abeni.
    
       2) Support pacing internally in TCP when using the sch_fq packet
          scheduler for this is not practical. From Eric Dumazet.
    
       3) Support mutliple filter chains per qdisc, from Jiri Pirko.
    
       4) Move to 1ms TCP timestamp clock, from Eric Dumazet.
    
       5) Add batch dequeueing to vhost_net, from Jason Wang.
    
       6) Flesh out more completely SCTP checksum offload support, from
          Davide Caratti.
    
       7) More plumbing of extended netlink ACKs, from David Ahern, Pablo
          Neira Ayuso, and Matthias Schiffer.
    
       8) Add devlink support to nfp driver, from Simon Horman.
    
       9) Add RTM_F_FIB_MATCH flag to RTM_GETROUTE queries, from Roopa
          Prabhu.
    
      10) Add stack depth tracking to BPF verifier and use this information
          in the various eBPF JITs. From Alexei Starovoitov.
    
      11) Support XDP on qed device VFs, from Yuval Mintz.
    
      12) Introduce BPF PROG ID for better introspection of installed BPF
          programs. From Martin KaFai Lau.
    
      13) Add bpf_set_hash helper for TC bpf programs, from Daniel Borkmann.
    
      14) For loads, allow narrower accesses in bpf verifier checking, from
          Yonghong Song.
    
      15) Support MIPS in the BPF selftests and samples infrastructure, the
          MIPS eBPF JIT will be merged in via the MIPS GIT tree. From David
          Daney.
    
      16) Support kernel based TLS, from Dave Watson and others.
    
      17) Remove completely DST garbage collection, from Wei Wang.
    
      18) Allow installing TCP MD5 rules using prefixes, from Ivan
          Delalande.
    
      19) Add XDP support to Intel i40e driver, from Björn Töpel
    
      20) Add support for TC flower offload in nfp driver, from Simon
          Horman, Pieter Jansen van Vuuren, Benjamin LaHaise, Jakub
          Kicinski, and Bert van Leeuwen.
    
      21) IPSEC offloading support in mlx5, from Ilan Tayari.
    
      22) Add HW PTP support to macb driver, from Rafal Ozieblo.
    
      23) Networking refcount_t conversions, From Elena Reshetova.
    
      24) Add sock_ops support to BPF, from Lawrence Brako. This is useful
          for tuning the TCP sockopt settings of a group of applications,
          currently via CGROUPs"
