As some driver authors seem to reintroduce dev->last_rx use,
add a comment to strongly discourage this.
Since commit 6cf3f41e6c (bonding, net: Move last_rx update into bonding
recv logic), network drivers dont need to update last_rx themselves,
unless they use this field to implement a timeout.
Not updating last_rx helps not dirtying a cache line, improving
performance in SMP.

This updates the use of larger initial windows, as originally specified in
RFC 3390, to use the newer IW values specified in RFC 5681, section 3.1.
The changes made in RFC 5681 are:
a) the setting now is more clearly specified in units of segments (as the
comments by John Heffner emphasized, this was not very clear in RFC 3390);
b) for connections with 1095 < SMSS <= 2190 there is now a change:
- RFC 3390 says that IW <= 4380,
- RFC 5681 says that IW = 3 * SMSS <= 6570.
Since RFC 3390 is older and "only" proposed standard, whereas the newer RFC 5681
is already draft standard, it seems preferable to use the newer IW variant.

This patch consolidates initial-window code common to TCP and CCID-2:
* TCP uses RFC 3390 in a packet-oriented manner (tcp_input.c) and
* CCID-2 uses RFC 3390 in packet-oriented manner (RFC 4341).

This patch provides a "user timeout" support as described in RFC793. The
socket option is also needed for the the local half of RFC5482 "TCP User
Timeout Option".
TCP_USER_TIMEOUT is a TCP level socket option that takes an unsigned int,
when > 0, to specify the maximum amount of time in ms that transmitted
data may remain unacknowledged before TCP will forcefully close the
corresponding connection and return ETIMEDOUT to the application. If
0 is given, TCP will continue to use the system default.
Increasing the user timeouts allows a TCP connection to survive extended
periods without end-to-end connectivity. Decreasing the user timeouts
allows applications to "fail fast" if so desired. Otherwise it may take
upto 20 minutes with the current system defaults in a normal WAN
environment.
The socket option can be made during any state of a TCP connection, but
is only effective during the synchronized states of a connection
(ESTABLISHED, FIN-WAIT-1, FIN-WAIT-2, CLOSE-WAIT, CLOSING, or LAST-ACK).
Moreover, when used with the TCP keepalive (SO_KEEPALIVE) option,
TCP_USER_TIMEOUT will overtake keepalive to determine when to close a
connection due to keepalive failure.
The option does not change in anyway when TCP retransmits a packet, nor
when a keepalive probe will be sent.
This option, like many others, will be inherited by an acceptor from its
listener.

arches if CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS is defined.
__napi_gro_receive() and vlan_gro_common() can avoid a conditional
branch to perform device match.
On x86_64, __napi_gro_receive() has now 38 instructions instead of 53

This function analyses only its single, value-passed
argument, and has no side effects. Thus it can be
const, which makes mac80211 smaller, for example:
text data bss dec hex filename

362358 16720 884 379962 5cc3a mac80211.ko (after)

IFF_OVS_DATAPATH is a place-holder for the Open vSwitch datapath
which I am preparing to submit for merging.
As all 16 bits of priv_flags are already assigned flags, also increase
the size of priv_flags to 32 bits.
Unfortunately, by my calculations this increases the size of
struct net_device by 4 bytes on 32bit architectures and
8 bytes on 64 bit architectures. I couldn't see an obvious
way to avoid that.

Since skb_has_frags() tests the latter, it's name is confusing
since it sounds more like it's testing the former.
