The extra assertion to allow packet munging only when there are
no other ptypes listening which may have worked around an old bug
is unnecessary. It is sufficient to check if the skb is cloned before
trampling on it. Thanks to Herbert Xu for being persistent and patient
in getting this across.
[Note that cloning checks and assertions are the general rule used
by tc actions (documentation/networking/tc-actions-env-rules.txt)].

We can avoid an unecessary cache miss by checking if the skb is non-linear
before accessing gso_size/gso_type in skb_warn_if_lro, the same can also be
done to avoid a cache miss on nr_frags if data_len is 0.

What this patch does is it removes two receive frame hooks (for bridge and for
macvlan) from __netif_receive_skb. These are replaced them with a single
hook for both. It only supports one hook per device because it makes no
sense to do bridging and macvlan on the same device.
Then a network driver (of virtual netdev like macvlan or bridge) can register
an rx_handler for needed net device.

When many cpus compete for sending frames on a given qdisc, the qdisc
spinlock suffers from very high contention.
The cpu owning __QDISC_STATE_RUNNING bit has same priority to acquire
the lock, and cannot dequeue packets fast enough, since it must wait for
this lock for each dequeued packet.
One solution to this problem is to force all cpus spinning on a second
lock before trying to get the main lock, when/if they see
__QDISC_STATE_RUNNING already set.
The owning cpu then compete with at most one other cpu for the main
lock, allowing for higher dequeueing rate.
Based on a previous patch from Alexander Duyck. I added the heuristic to
avoid the atomic in fast path, and put the new lock far away from the
cache line used by the dequeue worker. Also try to release the busylock
lock as late as possible.
Tests with following script gave a boost from ~50.000 pps to ~600.000
pps on a dual quad core machine (E5450 @3.00GHz), tg3 driver.
(A single netperf flow can reach ~800.000 pps on this platform)

If a skb is received on an inactive bond that does not meet
the special cases checked for by skb_bond_should_drop it should
only be delivered to exact matches as the comment in
netif_receive_skb() says.
However because null_or_bond could also be null this is not
always true. This patch renames null_or_bond to orig_or_bond
and initializes it to orig_dev. This keeps the intent of
null_or_bond to pass frames received on VLAN interfaces stacked
on bonding interfaces without invalidating the statement for
null_or_orig.

netpoll does an interesting work in zap_completion_queue(), but this was
before we did skb orphaning before delivering packets to device.
It now makes sense to add a test in dev_kfree_skb_irq() to not queue a

a bonus.

net: device name allocation cleanups
introduced a bug when there is a hash collision making impossible
to rename a device with eth%d. This bug is very hard to reproduce
and appears rarely.
The problem is coming from we don't pass a temporary buffer to
__dev_alloc_name but 'dev->name' which is modified by the function.
A detailed explanation is here:

This reverts commit aaf8cdc34d.
Drivers like the ipw2100 call device_create_group when they
are initialized and device_remove_group when they are shutdown.
Moving them between namespaces deletes their sysfs groups early.
In particular the following call chain results.
netdev_unregister_kobject -> device_del -> kobject_del -> sysfs_remove_dir
With sysfs_remove_dir recursively deleting all of it's subdirectories,
and nothing adding them back.
Ouch!
Therefore we need to call something that ultimate calls sysfs_mv_dir
as that sysfs function can move sysfs directories between namespaces
without deleting their subdirectories or their contents. Allowing
us to avoid placing extra boiler plate into every driver that does
something interesting with sysfs.
Currently the function that provides that capability is device_rename.
That is the code works without nasty side effects as originally written.
So remove the misguided fix for moving devices between namespaces. The
bug in the kobject layer that inspired it has now been recognized and
fixed.

Fix some issues introduced in batch skb dequeuing for input_pkt_queue.
The primary issue it that the queue head must be incremented only
after a packet has been processed, that is only after
__netif_receive_skb has been called. This is needed for the mechanism
to prevent OOO packet in RFS. Also when flushing the input_pkt_queue
and process_queue, the process queue should be done first to prevent
OOO packets.
Because the input_pkt_queue has been effectively split into two queues,
the calculation of the tail ptr is no longer correct. The correct value
would be head+input_pkt_queue->len+process_queue->len. To avoid
this calculation we added an explict input_queue_tail in softnet_data.
The tail value is simply incremented when queuing to input_pkt_queue.

Use low order bit of skb->_skb_dst to tell dst is not refcounted.
Change _skb_dst to _skb_refdst to make sure all uses are catched.
skb_dst() returns the dst, regardless of noref bit set or not, but
with a lockdep check to make sure a noref dst is not given if current
user is not rcu protected.
New skb_dst_set_noref() helper to set an notrefcounted dst on a skb.
(with lockdep check)
skb_dst_drop() drops a reference only if skb dst was refcounted.
skb_dst_force() helper is used to force a refcount on dst, when skb
is queued and not anymore RCU protected.
Use skb_dst_force() in __sk_add_backlog(), __dev_xmit_skb() if
!IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE or skb enqueued on qdisc queue, in
sock_queue_rcv_skb(), in __nf_queue().
Use skb_dst_force() in dev_requeue_skb().
Note: dst_use_noref() still dirties dst, we might transform it
later to do one dirtying per jiffies.

With RPS inclusion, skb timestamping is not consistent in RX path.
If netif_receive_skb() is used, its deferred after RPS dispatch.
If netif_rx() is used, its done before RPS dispatch.
This can give strange tcpdump timestamps results.
I think timestamping should be done as soon as possible in the receive
path, to get meaningful values (ie timestamps taken at the time packet
was delivered by NIC driver to our stack), even if NAPI already can
defer timestamping a bit (RPS can help to reduce the gap)
Tom Herbert prefer to sample timestamps after RPS dispatch. In case
sampling is expensive (HPET/acpi_pm on x86), this makes sense.
Let admins switch from one mode to another, using a new
sysctl, /proc/sys/net/core/netdev_tstamp_prequeue
Its default value (1), means timestamps are taken as soon as possible,
before backlog queueing, giving accurate timestamps.
Setting a 0 value permits to sample timestamps when processing backlog,
after RPS dispatch, to lower the load of the pre-RPS cpu.

Introduce ____napi_schedule() helper for callers in irq disabled
contexts. rps_trigger_softirq() becomes a leaf function.
Use container_of() in process_backlog() instead of accessing per_cpu
address.
Use a custom inlined version of __napi_complete() in process_backlog()
to avoid one locked instruction :
only current cpu owns and manipulates this napi,
and NAPI_STATE_SCHED is the only possible flag set on backlog.
we can use a plain write instead of clear_bit(),
and we dont need an smp_mb() memory barrier, since RPS is on,
backlog is protected by a spinlock.
