      This turns out to be correct and we need to pay attention to the pgoff as
      well as the address when creating the virtual address for the area.
      Fortunately, the bug is rarely triggered as most applications which use pgoff
      tend to use large values (git being the primary one, and it uses pgoff in
      multiples of 16MB) which are larger than our cache coherency modulus, so the
      problem isn't often seen in practise.

      Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
       "Bug fixes galore, mostly in drivers as is often the case:
      
        1) USB gadget and cdc_eem drivers need adjustments to their frame size
           lengths in order to handle VLANs correctly.  From Ian Coolidge.
      
        2) TIPC and several network drivers erroneously call tasklet_disable
           before tasklet_kill, fix from Xiaotian Feng.
      
        3) r8169 driver needs to apply the WOL suspend quirk to more chipsets,
           fix from Cyril Brulebois.
      
        4) Fix multicast filters on RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_35 r8169 chips, from
           Nathan Walp.
      
        5) FDB netlink dumps should use RTM_NEWNEIGH as the message type, not
           zero.  From John Fastabend.
      
        6) Fix smsc95xx tx checksum offload on big-endian, from Steve
           Glendinning.
      
        7) __inet_diag_dump() needs to repsect and report the error value
           returned from inet_diag_lock_handler() rather than ignore it.
           Otherwise if an inet diag handler is not available for a particular
           protocol, we essentially report success instead of giving an error
           indication.  Fix from Cyrill Gorcunov.
      
        8) When the QFQ packet scheduler sees TSO/GSO packets it does not
           handle things properly, and in fact ends up corrupting it's
           datastructures as well as mis-schedule packets.  Fix from Paolo
           Valente.
      
        9) Fix oopser in skb_loop_sk(), from Eric Leblond.
      
        10) CXGB4 passes partially uninitialized datastructures in to FW
            commands, fix from Vipul Pandya.
      
        11) When we send unsolicited ipv6 neighbour advertisements, we should
            send them to the link-local allnodes multicast address, as per
            RFC4861.  Fix from Hannes Frederic Sowa.
      
        12) There is some kind of bug in the usbnet's kevent deferral
            mechanism, but more immediately when it triggers an uncontrolled
            stream of kernel messages spam the log.  Rate limit the error log
            message triggered when this problem occurs, as sending thousands
            of error messages into the kernel log doesn't help matters at all,
            and in fact makes further diagnosis more difficult.
      
            From Steve Glendinning.
      
        13) Fix gianfar restore from hibernation, from Wang Dongsheng.
      
        14) The netlink message attribute sizes are wrong in the ipv6 GRE
            driver, it was using the size of ipv4 addresses instead of ipv6
            ones :-) Fix from Nicolas Dichtel."

      Pull sparc fixes from David Miller:
       "Several build/bug fixes for sparc, including:
      
        1) Configuring a mix of static vs.  modular sparc64 crypto modules
           didn't work, remove an ill-conceived attempt to only have to build
           the device match table for these drivers once to fix the problem.
      
           Reported by Meelis Roos.
      
        2) Make the montgomery multiple/square and mpmul instructions actually
           usable in 32-bit tasks.  Essentially this involves providing 32-bit
           userspace with a way to use a 64-bit stack when it needs to.
      
        3) Our sparc64 atomic backoffs don't yield cpu strands properly on
           Niagara chips.  Use pause instruction when available to achieve
           this, otherwise use a benign instruction we know blocks the strand
           for some time.
      
        4) Wire up kcmp
      
        5) Fix the build of various drivers by removing the unnecessary
           blocking of OF_GPIO when SPARC.
      
        6) Fix unintended regression wherein of_address_to_resource stopped
           being provided.  Fix from Andreas Larsson.
      
        7) Fix NULL dereference in leon_handle_ext_irq(), also from Andreas
           Larsson."
