Subject: pull request (net-next): ipsec-next 2015-10-30

1) The flow cache is limited by the flow cache limit which
   depends on the number of cpus and the xfrm garbage collector
   threshold which is independent of the number of cpus. This
   leads to the fact that on systems with more than 16 cpus
   we hit the xfrm garbage collector limit and refuse new
   allocations, so new flows are dropped. On systems with 16
   or less cpus, we hit the flowcache limit. In this case, we
   shrink the flow cache instead of refusing new flows. 

   We increase the xfrm garbage collector threshold to INT_MAX
   to get the same behaviour, independent of the number of cpus.

2) Fix some unaligned accesses on sparc systems.
   From Sowmini Varadhan.

3) Fix some header checks in _decode_session4. We may call
   pskb_may_pull with a negative value converted to unsigened
   int from pskb_may_pull. This can lead to incorrect policy
   lookups. We fix this by a check of the data pointer position
   before we call pskb_may_pull.

4) Reload skb header pointers after calling pskb_may_pull
   in _decode_session4 as this may change the pointers into
   the packet. 

5) Add a missing statistic counter on inner mode errors.

Please pull or let me know if there are problems.

Thanks!
