When Broadcom tags are enabled, e.g: when interfaced to an Ethernet
switch, make sure that we tell the RXCHK engine that it should be
expecting a 4-bytes Broadcom tag after the Ethernet MAC Source Address.
Use netdev_uses_dsa() to check for that condition since that will tell
us if a switch is attached to our network interface.

Then testing the TX limits of the stack, then it is useful to
be-able to disable the do_gettimeofday() timetamping on every packet.
This implements a pktgen flag NO_TIMESTAMP which will disable this
call to do_gettimeofday().
The performance change on (my system E5-2695) with skb_clone=0, goes
from TX 2,423,751 pps to 2,567,165 pps with flag NO_TIMESTAMP. Thus,
the cost of do_gettimeofday() or saving is approx 23 nanosec.

TIPC name table updates are distributed asynchronously in a cluster,
entailing a risk of certain race conditions. E.g., if two nodes
simultaneously issue conflicting (overlapping) publications, this may
not be detected until both publications have reached a third node, in
which case one of the publications will be silently dropped on that
node. Hence, we end up with an inconsistent name table.
In most cases this conflict is just a temporary race, e.g., one
node is issuing a publication under the assumption that a previous,
conflicting, publication has already been withdrawn by the other node.
However, because of the (rtt related) distributed update delay, this
may not yet hold true on all nodes. The symptom of this failure is a
syslog message: "tipc: Cannot publish {%u,%u,%u}, overlap error".
In this commit we add a resiliency queue at the receiving end of
the name table distributor. When insertion of an arriving publication
fails, we retain it in this queue for a short amount of time, assuming
that another update will arrive very soon and clear the conflict. If so
happens, we insert the publication, otherwise we drop it.
The (configurable) retention value defaults to 2000 ms. Knowing from
experience that the situation described above is extremely rare, there
is no risk that the queue will accumulate any large number of items.

Because the Tx has the features of stopping queue and aggregation,
We don't need many tx buffers. Change the tx number from 10 to 4
to reduce the usage of the memory. This could save 16K * 6 bytes
memory.

net: Make dev_hard_start_xmit() work fundamentally on lists
After this patch set, dev_hard_start_xmit() will work fundemantally on
any and all SKB lists.
This opens the path for a clean implementation of pulling multiple
packets out during qdisc_restart(), and then passing that blob in one
shot to dev_hard_start_xmit().
There were two main architectural blockers to this:
1) The GSO handling, we kept the original GSO head SKB around simply
because dev_hard_start_xmit() had no way to communicate to the
caller how far into the segmented list it was able to go. Now it
can, so the head GSO can be liberated immediately.
All of the special GSO head SKB destructor et al. handling goes
away too.
2) Validate of VLAN, CSUM, and segmentation characteristics was being
performed inside of dev_hard_start_xmit(). If want to truly batch,
we have to let the higher levels to this. In particular, this is
now dequeue_skb()'s job.
And with those two issues out of the way, it should now be trivial to
build experiments on top of this patch set, all of the framework
should be there now. You could do something as simple as:
skb = q->dequeue(q);
if (skb)
skb = validate_xmit_skb(skb, qdisc_dev(q));
if (skb) {
struct sk_buff *new, *head = skb;
int limit = 5;
do {
new = q->dequeue(q);
if (new)
new = validate_xmit_skb(new, qdisc_dev(q));
if (new) {
skb->next = new;
skb = new;
}
} while (new && --limit);
skb = head;
}
inside of the else branch of dequeue_skb().

SKB list from dev_hard_start_xmit().

dev_hard_start_xmit() does two things, it first validates and
canonicalizes the SKB, then it actually sends it.
Make a set of helper functions for doing the first part.

There is a slight policy change happening here as well.
The previous code would drop the entire rest of the GSO skb if any of
them got, for example, a congestion notification.
That makes no sense, anything NET_XMIT_MASK and below is something
like congestion or policing. And in the congestion case it doesn't
even mean the packet was actually dropped.
Just continue until dev_xmit_complete() evaluates to false.

net: Checksum offload changes - Part VI
I am working on overhauling RX checksum offload. Goals of this effort
are:
- Specify what exactly it means when driver returns CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY
- Preserve CHECKSUM_COMPLETE through encapsulation layers
- Don't do skb_checksum more than once per packet
- Unify GRO and non-GRO csum verification as much as possible
- Unify the checksum functions (checksum_init)
- Simplify code
What is in this sixth patch set:
- Clarify the specific requirements of devices returning
CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY (comments in skbuff.h).
- Add csum_level field to skbuff. This is used to express how
many checksums are covered by CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY (stores n - 1).
- Change __skb_checksum_validate_needed to "consume" each checksum
as indicated by csum_level as layers of the the packet are parsed.
- Remove skb_pop_rcv_encapsulation, no longer needed in the new
csum_level model.
- Allow GRO path to "consume" checksums provided in CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY
and to report new verfied checksums for use in normal path fallback.
- Add proper support to SCTP to accept CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY to validate
header CRC.
- Modify drivers to set skb->csum_level instead of setting
skb->encapsulation to indicate validation of an encapsulated
checksum on receive.
v2:
Allocate a new 16 bits for flags in skbuff.
Please review carefully and test if possible, mucking with basic
checksum functions is always a little precarious :-)
