• bonding: allow bond in mode balance-alb to work
• rtl8139: set mac address on running device
• tun: allow group ownership of TUN/TAP devices
• tcp: do not use TSO/GSO when there is urgent data
• A problem was found where if you set /proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/secret_interval to 0,
you could not reset it to another value, and /bin/bash would hang on the echo.
The timer reschedule path was updated to ensure that the rtnl lock is always released. The /proc/
sys/net/ipv4/route/secret_interval can now be set to 0 and successfully reset to another
value without causing /bin/bash to hang.
• sky2: revert some phy power refactoring changes
• bonding: tlb/alb: set active slave when enslaving
• tg3: refrain from touching MPS
