Testing xmit_more support with netperf and connected UDP sockets,
I found strange dst refcount false sharing.
Current handling of IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is not optimal.
Dropping dst in validate_xmit_skb() is certainly too late in case
packet was queued by cpu X but dequeued by cpu Y
The logical point to take care of drop/force is in __dev_queue_xmit()
before even taking qdisc lock.
As Julian Anastasov pointed out, need for skb_dst() might come from some
packet schedulers or classifiers.
This patch adds new helper to cleanly express needs of various drivers
or qdiscs/classifiers.
Drivers that need skb_dst() in their ndo_start_xmit() should call
following helper in their setup instead of the prior :
dev->priv_flags &= ~IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE;
->
netif_keep_dst(dev);
Instead of using a single bit, we use two bits, one being
eventually rebuilt in bonding/team drivers.
The other one, is permanent and blocks IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE being
rebuilt in bonding/team. Eventually, we could add something
smarter later.

Drivers should avoid NETDEV_TX_BUSY as much as possible.
They should stop the tx queue before qdisc even tries to push another
packet, to avoid requeues.
For a driver supporting skb->xmit_more, this is likely to be a prereq
anyway, otherwise we could have a tx deadlock : We need to force a
doorbell if TX ring is full.

GENET MAC has three Tx ring priority registers:
- GENET_x_TDMA_PRIORITY0 for queues 0-5
- GENET_x_TDMA_PRIORITY1 for queues 6-11
- GENET_x_TDMA_PRIORITY2 for queues 12-16
Fix bcmgenet_init_multiq() to program them correctly.

Adjust fixed_phy_register() to return struct phy_device *, so that
it becomes easy to use fixed PHYs without device tree support:
phydev = fixed_phy_register(PHY_POLL, &fixed_phy_status, NULL);
fixed_phy_set_link_update(phydev, fixed_phy_link_update);
phy_connect_direct(netdev, phydev, handler_fn, phy_interface);
This change is a prerequisite for modifying bcmgenet driver to work
without a device tree on Broadcom's MIPS-based 7xxx platforms.

Major two changes are:

* make fn_sernum updates cheaper

net sched rcu updates
This fixes the use of tcf_proto from RCU callbacks it requires
moving the unbind calls out of the callbacks and removing the
tcf_proto argument from the tcf_em_tree_destroy().
This is a rework of two previous series and addresses comments
from Cong. And should apply against latest net-next.
The previous series links below for reference:
(1/2) net: sched: do not use tcf_proto 'tp' argument from call_rcu
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/396149/
(2/2) net: sched: replace ematch calls to use struct net

Using the tcf_proto pointer 'tp' from inside the classifiers callback
is not valid because it may have been cleaned up by another call_rcu
occuring on another CPU.
'tp' is currently being used by tcf_unbind_filter() in this patch we
move instances of tcf_unbind_filter outside of the call_rcu() context.
This is safe to do because any running schedulers will either read the
valid class field or it will be zeroed.
And all schedulers today when the class is 0 do a lookup using the
same call used by the tcf_exts_bind(). So even if we have a running
classifier hit the null class pointer it will do a lookup and get
to the same result. This is particularly fragile at the moment because
the only way to verify this is to audit the schedulers call sites.

This removes the tcf_proto argument from the ematch code paths that
only need it to reference the net namespace. This allows simplifying
qdisc code paths especially when we need to tear down the ematch
from an RCU callback. In this case we can not guarentee that the
tcf_proto structure is still valid.

Some TSO engines might have a too heavy setup cost, that impacts
performance on hosts sending small bursts (2 MSS per packet).
This patch adds a device gso_min_segs, allowing drivers to set
a minimum segment size for TSO packets, according to the NIC
performance.
Tested on a mlx4 NIC, this allows to get a ~110% increase of
throughput when sending 2 MSS per packet.

In case we find a general query with non-zero number of sources, we
are dropping the skb as it's malformed.
RFC3376, section 4.1.8. Number of Sources (N):
This number is zero in a General Query or a Group-Specific Query,
and non-zero in a Group-and-Source-Specific Query.
Therefore, reflect that by using kfree_skb() instead of consume_skb().

Earlier change to use usable slave array for TLB mode had an additional
performance advantage. So extending the same logic to all other modes
that use xmit-hash for slave selection (viz 802.3AD, and XOR modes).
Also consolidating this with the earlier TLB change.
The main idea is to build the usable slaves array in the control path
and use that array for slave selection during xmit operation.
Measured performance in a setup with a bond of 4x1G NICs with 200
instances of netperf for the modes involved (3ad, xor, tlb)
cmd: netperf -t TCP_RR -H <TargetHost> -l 60 -s 5
Mode TPS-Before TPS-After
802.3ad : 468,694 493,101
TLB (lb=0): 392,583 392,965
