What this patch does is it removes two receive frame hooks (for bridge and for
macvlan) from __netif_receive_skb. These are replaced them with a single
hook for both. It only supports one hook per device because it makes no
sense to do bridging and macvlan on the same device.
Then a network driver (of virtual netdev like macvlan or bridge) can register
an rx_handler for needed net device.

Now there's null check here and also again in the hook. Looking at bridge bits
which are simmilar, port structure is rcu_dereferenced right away in

In the vlan and macvlan drivers, the start_xmit function forwards
data to the dev_queue_xmit function for another device, which may
potentially belong to a different namespace.
To make sure that classification stays within a single namespace,

This allows each macvlan slave device to be in one
of three modes, depending on the use case:
MACVLAN_PRIVATE:
The device never communicates with any other device
on the same upper_dev. This even includes frames
coming back from a reflective relay, where supported
by the adjacent bridge.
MACVLAN_VEPA:
The new Virtual Ethernet Port Aggregator (VEPA) mode,
we assume that the adjacent bridge returns all frames
where both source and destination are local to the
macvlan port, i.e. the bridge is set up as a reflective
relay.
Broadcast frames coming in from the upper_dev get
flooded to all macvlan interfaces in VEPA mode.
We never deliver any frames locally.
MACVLAN_BRIDGE:
We provide the behavior of a simple bridge between
different macvlan interfaces on the same port. Frames
from one interface to another one get delivered directly
and are not sent out externally. Broadcast frames get
flooded to all other bridge ports and to the external
interface, but when they come back from a reflective
relay, we don't deliver them again.
Since we know all the MAC addresses, the macvlan bridge
mode does not require learning or STP like the bridge
module does.
Based on an earlier patch "macvlan: Reflect macvlan packets
meant for other macvlan devices" by Eric Biederman.

With multi queue devices, its possible that several cpus call
macvlan RX routines simultaneously for the same macvlan device.
We update RX stats counter without any locking, so we can
get slightly wrong counters.
One possible fix is to use percpu counters, to get precise
accounting and also get guarantee of no cache line ping pongs
between cpus.
Note: this adds 16 bytes (32 bytes on 64bit arches) of percpu
data per macvlan device.

There is no good reason to not support userspace specifying the
network namespace during device creation, and it makes it easier
to create a network device and pass it to a child network namespace
with a well known name.
We have to be careful to ensure that the target network namespace
for the new device exists through the life of the call. To keep
that logic clear I have factored out the network namespace grabbing
logic into rtnl_link_get_net.
In addtion we need to continue to pass the source network namespace
to the rtnl_link_ops.newlink method so that we can find the base
device source network namespace.

macvlan devices are currently not multi-queue capable.
We can do that defining rtnl_link_ops method,
get_tx_queues(), called from rtnl_create_link()
This new method gets num_tx_queues/real_num_tx_queues
from lower device.
macvlan_get_tx_queues() is a copy of vlan_get_tx_queues().
Because macvlan_start_xmit() has to update netdev_queue
stats only (and not dev->stats), I chose to change
tx_errors/tx_aborted_errors accounting to tx_dropped,
since netdev_queue structure doesnt define tx_errors /
tx_aborted_errors.

akpm: the reporter disappeared, so I typed it in again.
It is not possible to make clone of tagged VLAN interface to be used as
mac-based vlan interfave.
How reproducible:
Use any 802.1q tagged vlan interface, e.g. eth2.700 and clone it:
ip link add link eth2.700 address 00:04:75:cb:38:09 macvlan0 type macvlan
ip link set dev macvlan0 up
ip addr add 10.195.1.1/24 dev macvlan0
So far, so good. Now try to ping anything via macvlan0:
ping 10.195.1.2
Actual results:
For every attempted packet tx kernel writes to console:

This patch converts unicast address list to standard list_head using
previously introduced struct netdev_hw_addr. It also relaxes the
locking. Original spinlock (still used for multicast addresses) is not
needed and is no longer used for a protection of this list. All
reading and writing takes place under rtnl (with no changes).
I also removed a possibility to specify the length of the address
while adding or deleting unicast address. It's always dev->addr_len.
The convertion touched especially e1000 and ixgbe codes when the
change is not so trivial.

One point of contention in high network loads is the dst_release() performed
when a transmited skb is freed. This is because NIC tx completion calls
dev_kree_skb() long after original call to dev_queue_xmit(skb).
CPU cache is cold and the atomic op in dst_release() stalls. On SMP, this is
quite visible if one CPU is 100% handling softirqs for a network device,
since dst_clone() is done by other cpus, involving cache line ping pongs.
It seems right place to release dst is in dev_hard_start_xmit(), for most
devices but ones that are virtual, and some exceptions.
David Miller suggested to define a new device flag, set in alloc_netdev_mq()
(so that most devices set it at init time), and carefuly unset in devices
which dont want a NULL skb->dst in their ndo_start_xmit().
List of devices that must clear this flag is :
- loopback device, because it calls netif_rx() and quoting Patrick :
"ip_route_input() doesn't accept loopback addresses, so loopback packets
already need to have a dst_entry attached."
- appletalk/ipddp.c : needs skb->dst in its xmit function
- And all devices that call again dev_queue_xmit() from their xmit function
(as some classifiers need skb->dst) : bonding, vlan, macvlan, eql, ifb, hdlc_fr
