This adds support for mergeable buffers in vhost-net: this is needed
for older guests without indirect buffer support, as well
as for zero copy with some devices.
Includes changes by Michael S. Tsirkin to make the
patch as low risk as possible (i.e., close to no changes
when feature is disabled).

Apply the cgroup of the owner task to the created vhost worker.
Based on patches from Sridhar Samudrala's and Tejun Heo.
Later we'll need to also apply cpumask and probably priority
of the owner process.
Discussion on the best way to do this is still ongoing.

Replace vhost_workqueue with per-vhost kthread. Other than callback
argument change from struct work_struct * to struct vhost_work *,
there's no visible change to vhost_poll_*() interface.
This conversion is to make each vhost use a dedicated kthread so that
resource control via cgroup can be applied.
Partially based on Sridhar Samudrala's patch.
* Updated to use sub structure vhost_work instead of directly using
vhost_poll at Michael's suggestion.
* Added flusher wake_up() optimization at Michael's suggestion.
Changes by MST:
* Converted atomics/barrier use to a spinlock.
* Create thread on SET_OWNER
* Fix flushing

Convert a few calls from kfree_skb to consume_skb
Noticed while I was working on dropwatch that I was detecting lots of internal
skb drops in several places. While some are legitimate, several were not,
freeing skbs that were at the end of their life, rather than being discarded due
to an error. This patch converts those calls sites from using kfree_skb to
consume_skb, which quiets the in-kernel drop_monitor code from detecting them as
drops. Tested successfully by myself

Patch to add -EAGAIN error to dropwatch netlink message handling code.
-EAGAIN will be returned anytime userspace attempts to transition the state of
the drop monitor service to a state that its already in. That allows user space
to detect this condition, so it doesn't wait for a success ACK that will never
arrive. Tested successfully by me

The new netpoll code in bridging contains use-after-free bugs
that are non-trivial to fix.
This patch fixes this by removing the code that uses skbs after
they're freed.
As a consequence, this means that we can no longer call bridge
from the netpoll path, so this patch also removes the controller
function in order to disable netpoll.

Even with jumbograms I cannot see any way in which we would need
to records a larger than 65535 valued next-header offset.
The maximum extension header length is (256 << 3) == 2048.
There are only a handful of extension headers specified which
we'd even accept (say 5 or 6), therefore the largest next-header
offset we'd ever have to contend with is something less than
say 16k.
Therefore make it a u16 instead of a u32.

smp_mb() inside bnx2_tx_avail() is used twice in the normal
bnx2_start_xmit() path (see illustration below). The full memory
barrier is only necessary during race conditions with tx completion.
We can speed up the tx path by replacing smp_mb() in bnx2_tx_avail()
with a compiler barrier. The compiler barrier is to force the
compiler to fetch the tx_prod and tx_cons from memory.
In the race condition between bnx2_start_xmit() and bnx2_tx_int(),
we have the following situation:
bnx2_start_xmit() bnx2_tx_int()
if (!bnx2_tx_avail())
BUG();
...
if (!bnx2_tx_avail())
netif_tx_stop_queue(); update_tx_index();
smp_mb(); smp_mb();
if (bnx2_tx_avail()) if (netif_tx_queue_stopped() &&
netif_tx_wake_queue(); bnx2_tx_avail())
With smp_mb() removed from bnx2_tx_avail(), we need to add smp_mb() to
bnx2_start_xmit() as shown above to properly order netif_tx_stop_queue()
and bnx2_tx_avail() to check the ring index. If it is not strictly
ordered, the tx queue can be stopped forever.
This improves performance by about 5% with 2 ports running bi-directional
64-byte packets.
