Adding const qualifiers to pointers can ease code review, and spot some
bugs. It might allow compiler to optimize code further.
For example, is it legal to temporary write a null cksum into tcphdr
in tcp_md5_hash_header() ? I am afraid a sniffer could catch the
temporary null value...

Instead of using the dev->next chain and trying to resync at each call to
dev_seq_start, use the name hash, keeping the bucket and the offset in
seq->private field.

On systems that create and delete lots of dynamic devices the
31bit linux ifindex fails to fit in the 16bit macvtap minor,
resulting in unusable macvtap devices. I have systems running
automated tests that that hit this condition in just a few days.
Use a linux idr allocator to track which mavtap minor numbers
are available and and to track the association between macvtap
minor numbers and macvtap network devices.
Remove the unnecessary unneccessary check to see if the network
device we have found is indeed a macvtap device. With macvtap
specific data structures it is impossible to find any other
kind of networking device.
Increase the macvtap minor range from 65536 to the full 20 bits
that is supported by linux device numbers. It doesn't solve the
original problem but there is no penalty for a larger minor
device range.

Place macvlan_common_newlink at the end of macvtap_newlink because
failing in newlink after registering your network device is not
supported.
Move device_create into a netdevice creation notifier. The network device
notifier is the only hook that is called after the network device has been
registered with the device layer and before register_network_device returns
success.

To see if it is appropriate to enable the macvtap zero copy feature
don't test the lowerdev network device flags. Instead test the
macvtap network device flags which are a direct copy of the lowerdev
flags. This is important because nothing holds a reference to lowerdev
and on a very bad day we lowerdev could be a pointer to stale memory.

There is a small window in macvtap_open between looking up a
networking device and calling macvtap_set_queue in which
macvtap_del_queues called from macvtap_dellink. After
calling macvtap_del_queues it is totally incorrect to
allow macvtap_set_queue to proceed so prevent success by
reporting that all of the available queues are in use.

Up till now the IP{,V6}_TRANSPARENT socket options (which actually set
the same bit in the socket struct) have required CAP_NET_ADMIN
privileges to set or clear the option.
- we make clearing the bit not require any privileges.
- we allow CAP_NET_ADMIN to set the bit (as before this change)
- we allow CAP_NET_RAW to set this bit, because raw
sockets already pretty much effectively allow you
to emulate socket transparency.

Since commit 356f039822 (TCP: increase default initial receive
window.), we allow sender to send 10 (TCP_DEFAULT_INIT_RCVWND) segments.
Change tcp_fixup_rcvbuf() to reflect this change, even if no real change
is expected, since sysctl_tcp_rmem[1] = 87380 and this value
is bigger than tcp_fixup_rcvbuf() computed rcvmem (~23720)
Note: Since commit 356f039822 limited default window to maximum of
10*1460 and 2*MSS, we use same heuristic in this patch.

A few network drivers currently use skb_frag_struct for this purpose but I have
patches which add additional fields and semantics there which these other uses
do not want.
A structure for reference sub-page regions seems like a generally useful thing
so do so instead of adding a network subsystem specific structure.
