Here is the big staging and iio driver patchsets for 4.11-rc1.
We almost broke even this time around, with only a few thousand lines
added overall, as we removed the old and obsolete i4l code, but added
some new drivers for the RPi platform, as well as adding some new IIO
drivers.
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
issues.

integer fields tc_at and tc_from. Where possible, use existing
helper skb_at_tc_ingress when reading tc_at. Introduce helper
skb_reset_tc to clear fields.

Only wake tx queue when driver queue is back within bounds.
The logic here was just reenabling the queue when any buffers had been
freed. the queue was stopped whenever the length exceeded 1000
(MAX_OUT_QUEUE_DEPTH), but then was essentially immediately started again.
On a congested link, the queue length would just keep increasing up to
around 8000 (for average size packets), at which point the hardware would
start refusing the packets and they would begin to be dropped.
This prevented the qdisc layer from effectively managing and prioritising
packets, as essentially all packets were being allowed into the driver
queue and then were being dropped by the hardware.
This change only restarts the queue if the length is less than 1000
(MAX_OUT_QUEUE_DEPTH).

If the network portion of a frame is preceded by more than 14 bytes of
data, the checksum calculated in the HW is done over the wrong data and
is put in the wrong place.
In our use case an Octeon ethernet controller is connected to a Broadcom
switch chip. Extra data is included in the frame prior to egressing the
Octeon ethernet (i.e. 4 bytes of an 802.1Q tag, 4 bytes of a proprietary
BCM tag later stripped by the switch chip). This extra data causes the
checksum calculation to be incorrect.
The fix in this patch is to make use of the network header offset of the
skb. This enables the checksum to be calculated correctly.
This has been tested in both the configuration with the switch chip in
the egress path (as described above) and in a simple connection direct
to the wire.

Pull MIPS updates from Ralf Baechle:
"This is the main pull request for 4.3 for MIPS. Here's the summary:
Three fixes that didn't make 4.2-stable:
- a -Os build might compile the kernel using the MIPS16 instruction
set but the R2 optimized inline functions in <uapi/asm/swab.h> are
implemented using 32-bit wide instructions which is invalid.
- a build error in pgtable-bits.h for a particular kernel
configuration.
- accessing registers of the CM GCR might have been compiled to use
64 bit accesses but these registers are onl 32 bit wide.
And also a few new bits:
- move the ATH79 GPIO driver to drivers/gpio
- the definition of IRQCHIP_DECLARE has moved to linux/irqchip.h,
change ATH79 accordingly.
- fix definition of pgprot_writecombine
- add an implementation of dma_map_ops.mmap
- fix alignment of quiet build output for vmlinuz link
- BCM47xx: Use kmemdup rather than duplicating its implementation
- Netlogic: Fix 0x0x prefixes of constants.
- merge Bjorn Helgaas' series to remove most of the weak keywords
from function declarations.
- CP0 and CP1 registers are best considered treated as unsigned
values to avoid large values from becoming negative values.
- improve support for the MIPS GIC timer.
- enable common clock framework for Malta and SEAD3.
- a number of improvments and fixes to dump_tlb().
- document the MIPS TLB dump functionality in Magic SysRq.
- Cavium Octeon CN68XX improvments.
- NetLogic improvments.
- irq: Use access helper irq_data_get_affinity_mask.
- handle MSA unaligned accesses.
- a number of R6-related math-emu fixes.
- support for I6400.
- improvments to MSA support.
- add uprobes support.
- move from deprecated __initcall to arch_initcall.
- remove finish_arch_switch().
- IRQ cleanups by Thomas Gleixner.
- migrate to new 'set-state' interface.
- random small cleanups"

With the recent changes for how we compute the skb truesize it occurs to me
we are probably going to have a lot of calls to skb_end_pointer -
skb->head. Instead of running all over the place doing that it would make
more sense to just make it a separate inline skb_end_offset(skb) that way
we can return the correct value without having gcc having to do all the
optimization to cancel out skb->head - skb->head.

If we wait for the once-per-second cleanup to free transmit SKBs,
sockets with small transmit buffer sizes might spend most of their
time blocked waiting for the cleanup.
Normally we do a cleanup for each transmitted packet. We add a
watchdog type timer so that we also schedule a timeout for 150uS after
a packet is transmitted. The watchdog is reset for each transmitted
packet, so for high packet rates, it never expires. At these high
rates, the cleanups are done for each packet so the extra watchdog
initiated cleanups are neither needed nor triggered.
