linux-next: build failure after merge of the net-next tree

[Stephen Rothwell]

Hi all,

After merging the net-next tree, today's linux-next build (x86_64
allmodconfig) failed like this:

net/ipv4/fou.c: In function 'gue_gro_receive':
net/ipv4/fou.c:451:35: error: passing argument 2 of 'skb_gro_flush_final_remcsum' from incompatible pointer type [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types]
  skb_gro_flush_final_remcsum(skb, pp, flush, &grc);

Caused by commit

  d4546c2509b1 ("net: Convert GRO SKB handling to list_head.")

from the net-next tree interacting with commit

  603d4cf8fe09 ("net: fix use-after-free in GRO with ESP")

from Linus' tree.

I took a guess and aplied the following merge fix patch:

From: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Tue, 3 Jul 2018 10:37:05 +1000
Subject: [PATCH] net: update for conversion of GRO SKB handling
