This patch adds the functions __netpoll_setup/__netpoll_cleanup
which is designed to be called recursively through ndo_netpoll_seutp.
They must be called with RTNL held, and the caller must initialise
np->dev and ensure that it has a valid reference count.

As it stands, netpoll_setup and netpoll_cleanup have no locking
protection whatsoever. So chaos ensures if two entities try to
perform them on the same device.
This patch adds RTNL to the equation. The code has been rearranged so
that bits that do not need RTNL protection are now moved to the top of
netpoll_setup.

The use of RCU in netpoll is incorrect in a number of places:
1) The initial setting is lacking a write barrier.
2) The synchronize_rcu is in the wrong place.
3) Read barriers are missing.
4) Some places are even missing rcu_read_lock.
5) npinfo is zeroed after freeing.
This patch fixes those issues. As most users are in BH context,
this also converts the RCU usage to the BH variant.

Since we have to NULL npinfo regardless of whether there is a
ndo_netpoll_cleanup, it makes sense to do this unconditionally
in netpoll_cleanup rather than having every driver do it by
themselves.

Try to reduce cache line contentions in peer management, to reduce IP
defragmentation overhead.
- peer_fake_node is marked 'const' to make sure its not modified.
(tested with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA=y)
- Group variables in two structures to reduce number of dirtied cache
lines. One named "peers" for avl tree root, its number of entries, and
associated lock. (candidate for RCU conversion)
- A second one named "unused_peers" for unused list and its lock
- Add a !list_empty() test in unlink_from_unused() to avoid taking lock
when entry is not unused.
- Use atomic_dec_and_lock() in inet_putpeer() to avoid taking lock in
some cases.

Uses a seqcount_t to synchronize stat producer and consumer, for packets
and bytes counter, now u64 types.
(dropped counter being rarely used, stay a native "unsigned long" type)
No noticeable performance impact on x86, as it only adds two increments
per frame. It might be more expensive on arches where smp_wmb() is not

This patch added to 2.6.34:
commit f8d1dcaf88
Author: Jesse Brandeburg <jesse.brandeburg@intel.com>

ixgbe: enable extremely low latency
introduced a feature where LRO (called RSC on the hardware) was disabled
automatically when setting rx-usecs to 0 via ethtool. Some might not
like the fact that LRO was disabled automatically, but I'm fine with
that. What I don't like is that LRO/RSC is automatically enabled when
rx-usecs is set >0 via ethtool.
This would certainly be a problem if the device was used for forwarding
and it was determined that the low latency wasn't needed after the
device was already forwarding. I played around with saving the state of
LRO in the driver, but it just didn't seem worthwhile and would require
a small change to dev_disable_lro() that I did not like.
This patch simply leaves LRO disabled when setting rx-usecs >0 and
requires that the user enable it again. An extra informational message
will also now appear in the log so users can understand why LRO isn't
being enabled as they expect.
Inconsistency of LRO setting first noticed by Stanislaw Gruszka.

commit 675ad47375
removed the capability to use ethtool.set_msglevel to
control the types of messages emitted by the driver.
That commit should probably be reverted.
If not, then this patch fixes a message logging defect
introduced by converting a printk without KERN_<level>
to e_info.
This also reduces text by about 200 bytes.

There is a small window where the watchdog could be running as the
interface is brought down on a NIC with two ports wired back to back.
If ixgbe_update_status is then called can lead to a panic. This patch
allows the update to bail if we are in that condition.
This issue was orignally reported and fix proposed by Akihiko Saitou.

Use struct rtnl_link_stats64 as the statistics structure.
On 32-bit architectures, insert 32 bits of padding after/before each
field of struct net_device_stats to make its layout compatible with
struct rtnl_link_stats64. Add an anonymous union in net_device; move
stats into the union and add struct rtnl_link_stats64 stats64.
Add net_device_ops::ndo_get_stats64, implementations of which will
return a pointer to struct rtnl_link_stats64. Drivers that implement
this operation must not update the structure asynchronously.
Change dev_get_stats() to call ndo_get_stats64 if available, and to
return a pointer to struct rtnl_link_stats64. Change callers of
dev_get_stats() accordingly.

This patch increases the granularity of the rate generated by pktgen.
The previous version of pktgen uses micro seconds (udelay) resolution when it
was delayed causing gaps in the rates. It is changed to nanosecond (ndelay).
Now any rate is possible.
Also it allows to set, the desired rate in Mb/s or packets per second.
The documentation has been updated.
