Eric Dumazet 89c5fa3369 net: gro: dev_gro_receive() cleanup
__napi_gro_receive() is inlined from two call sites for no good reason.

Lets move the prep stuff in a function of its own, called only if/when
needed. This saves 300 bytes on x86 :

# size net/core/dev.o.after net/core/dev.o.before

Eric Dumazet f8e8f97c11 net: fix a race in gro_cell_poll()
Dmitry Kravkov reported packet drops for GRE packets since GRO support
was added.

There is a race in gro_cell_poll() because we call napi_complete()
without any synchronization with a concurrent gro_cells_receive()

Once bug was triggered, we queued packets but did not schedule NAPI
poll.

We can fix this issue using the spinlock protected the napi_skbs queue,
as we have to hold it to perform skb dequeue anyway.

As we open-code skb_dequeue(), we no longer need to mask IRQS, as both
producer and consumer run under BH context.

Bug added in commit c9e6bc644e (net: add gro_cells infrastructure)

Eric Dumazet d46d132cc0 bnx2x: use netdev_alloc_frag()
Using netdev_alloc_frag() instead of kmalloc() permits better GRO or
TCP coalescing behavior, as skb_gro_receive() doesn't have to fallback
to frag_list overhead.

Rick Jones d825da2ede doc: Tighten-up and clarify description of tcp_fin_timeout
The description for tcp_fin_timeout should be tigher and more clear.

In addition to being tighter, we should make the spelling of the
state name consistent with what utilities report, remove the now
dated reference to 2.2 and put the default in the consistent place.

This patch changes when we decide what the device's MAC address
is from per ifconfig up to once when the device is connected.

Without this patch, a manually forced device MAC is overwritten
on ifconfig down/up.  Also devices that have no EEPROM are
assigned a new random address on ifconfig down/up instead of
persisting the same one.

Jason Wang 986a4f4d45 virtio_net: multiqueue support
This patch adds the multiqueue (VIRTIO_NET_F_MQ) support to virtio_net
driver. VIRTIO_NET_F_MQ capable device could allow the driver to do packet
transmission and reception through multiple queue pairs and does the packet
steering to get better performance. By default, one one queue pair is used, user
could change the number of queue pairs by ethtool in the next patch.

When multiple queue pairs is used and the number of queue pairs is equal to the
number of vcpus. Driver does the following optimizations to implement per-cpu
virt queue pairs:

- select the txq based on the smp processor id.
- smp affinity hint to the cpu that owns the queue pairs.

This could be used with the flow steering support of the device to guarantee the
packets of a single flow is handled by the same cpu.
