The fdb_create() puts a new fdb into hash with only addr set. This is
not good, since there are callers, that search the hash w/o the lock
and access all the other its fields.
Applies to current netdev tree.

While the RxFIFO interruption is masked for most 8168, nothing prevents
it to appear in the irq status word. This is no excuse to crash.

Some experiment-based action to prevent my 8168 chipsets locking-up hard
in the irq handler under load (pktgen ~1Mpps). Apparently a reset is not
always mandatory (is it at all ?).
- RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_12
- RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_25
Missed ~55% packets. Note:
- this is an old SiS 965L motherboard
- the 8168 chipset emits (lots of) control frames towards the sender
- RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_26
The chipset does not go into a frenzy of mac control pause when it
crashes yet but it can still be crashed. It needs more work.

I found that one of the 8168c chipsets (concretely XID 1c4000c0) starts
generating RxFIFO overflow errors. The result is an infinite loop in
interrupt handler as the RxFIFOOver is handled only for ...MAC_VER_11.
With the workaround everything goes fine.

Commit 709b46e8d9 ("net: Add compat
ioctl support for the ipv4 multicast ioctl SIOCGETSGCNT") added the
correct plumbing to handle SIOCGETSGCNT properly.
However, whilst definiting a proper "struct compat_sioc_sg_req" it
isn't actually used in ipmr_compat_ioctl().
Correct this oversight.

As reported by Flavio Leitner, there is no synchronization to protect
NIU's get_stats method from seeing a NULL pointer in either
np->rx_rings or np->tx_rings. In fact, as far as ->ndo_get_stats
is concerned, these values are set completely asynchronously.
Flavio attempted to fix this using a RW semaphore, which in fact
works most of the time. However, dev_get_stats() can be invoked
from non-sleepable contexts in some cases, so this fix doesn't
work in all cases.
So instead, control the visibility of the np->{rx,tx}_ring pointers
when the device is being brough up, and use properties of the device
down sequence to our advantage.
In niu_get_stats(), return immediately if netif_running() is false.
The device shutdown sequence first marks the device as not running (by
clearing the __LINK_STATE_START bit), then it performans a
synchronize_rcu() (in dev_deactive_many()), and then finally it
invokes the driver ->ndo_stop() method.
This guarentees that all invocations of niu_get_stats() either see
netif_running() as false, or they see the channel pointers before
->ndo_stop() clears them out.
If netif_running() is true, protect against startup races by loading
the np->{rx,tx}_rings pointer into a local variable, and punting if
it is NULL. Use ACCESS_ONCE to prevent the compiler from reloading
the pointer on us.
Also, during open, control the order in which the pointers and the
ring counts become visible globally using SMP write memory barriers.
We make sure the np->num_{rx,tx}_rings value is stable and visible
before np->{rx,tx}_rings is.
Such visibility control is not necessary on the niu_free_channels()
side because of the RCU sequencing that happens during device down as
described above. We are always guarenteed that all niu_get_stats
calls are finished, or will see netif_running() false, by the time
->ndo_stop is invoked.
