Right now, skb->tstamp is reset to 0 whenever the skb is forwarded.
If skb->tstamp has the mono delivery_time, clearing it can hurt
the performance when it finally transmits out to fq@phy-dev.
The earlier patch added a skb->mono_delivery_time bit to
flag the skb->tstamp carrying the mono delivery_time.
This patch adds skb_clear_tstamp() helper which keeps
the mono delivery_time and clears everything else.
The delivery_time clearing will be postponed until the stack knows the
skb will be delivered locally. It will be done in a latter patch.

Dave suggested a while ago (eleven years by now) "Let's make netif_rx()
work in all contexts and get rid of netif_rx_ni()". Eric agreed and
pointed out that modern devices should use netif_receive_skb() to avoid
the overhead.
In the meantime someone added another variant, netif_rx_any_context(),
which behaves as suggested.
netif_rx() must be invoked with disabled bottom halves to ensure that
pending softirqs, which were raised within the function, are handled.
netif_rx_ni() can be invoked only from process context (bottom halves
must be enabled) because the function handles pending softirqs without
checking if bottom halves were disabled or not.
netif_rx_any_context() invokes on the former functions by checking
in_interrupts().
netif_rx() could be taught to handle both cases (disabled and enabled
bottom halves) by simply disabling bottom halves while invoking
netif_rx_internal(). The local_bh_enable() invocation will then invoke
pending softirqs only if the BH-disable counter drops to zero.
Eric is concerned about the overhead of BH-disable+enable especially in
regard to the loopback driver. As critical as this driver is, it will
receive a shortcut to avoid the additional overhead which is not needed.
Add a local_bh_disable() section in netif_rx() to ensure softirqs are
handled if needed.
Provide __netif_rx() which does not disable BH and has a lockdep assert
to ensure that interrupts are disabled. Use this shortcut in the
loopback driver and in drivers/net/*.c.
Make netif_rx_ni() and netif_rx_any_context() invoke netif_rx() so they
can be removed once they are no more users left.

sock.h is pretty heavily used (5k objects rebuilt on x86 after
it's touched). We can drop the include of filter.h from it and
add a forward declaration of struct sk_filter instead.
This decreases the number of rebuilt objects when bpf.h
is touched from ~5k to ~1k.
There's a lot of missing includes this was masking. Primarily
in networking tho, this time.

Create a blackhole net device that can be used for "dead"
dst entries instead of loopback device. This blackhole device differs
from loopback in few aspects: (a) It's not per-ns. (b) MTU on this
device is ETH_MIN_MTU (c) The xmit function is essentially kfree_skb().
and (d) since it's not registered it won't have ifindex.
Lower MTU effectively make the device not pass the MTU check during
the route check when a dst associated with the skb is dead.

At least UDP / TCP stacks can now cook skbs with a tstamp using
MONOTONIC base (or arbitrary values with SCM_TXTIME)
Since loopback driver does not call (directly or indirectly)
skb_scrub_packet(), we need to clear skb->tstamp so that
net_timestamp_check() can eventually resample the time,
using ktime_get_real().

Network devices can allocate reasources and private memory using
netdev_ops->ndo_init(). However, the release of these resources
can occur in one of two different places.
Either netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() or netdev->destructor().
The decision of which operation frees the resources depends upon
whether it is necessary for all netdev refs to be released before it
is safe to perform the freeing.
netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() presumably can occur right after the
NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier completes and the unicast and multicast
address lists are flushed.
netdev->destructor(), on the other hand, does not run until the
netdev references all go away.
Further complicating the situation is that netdev->destructor()
almost universally does also a free_netdev().
This creates a problem for the logic in register_netdevice().
Because all callers of register_netdevice() manage the freeing
of the netdev, and invoke free_netdev(dev) if register_netdevice()
fails.
If netdev_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, but something else fails inside
of register_netdevice(), it does call ndo_ops->ndo_uninit(). But
it is not able to invoke netdev->destructor().
This is because netdev->destructor() will do a free_netdev() and
then the caller of register_netdevice() will do the same.
However, this means that the resources that would normally be released
by netdev->destructor() will not be.
Over the years drivers have added local hacks to deal with this, by
invoking their destructor parts by hand when register_netdevice()
fails.
Many drivers do not try to deal with this, and instead we have leaks.
Let's close this hole by formalizing the distinction between what
private things need to be freed up by netdev->destructor() and whether
the driver needs unregister_netdevice() to perform the free_netdev().
netdev->priv_destructor() performs all actions to free up the private
resources that used to be freed by netdev->destructor(), except for
free_netdev().
netdev->needs_free_netdev is a boolean that indicates whether
free_netdev() should be done at the end of unregister_netdevice().
Now, register_netdevice() can sanely release all resources after
ndo_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, by invoking both ndo_ops->ndo_uninit()
and netdev->priv_destructor().
And at the end of unregister_netdevice(), we invoke
netdev->priv_destructor() and optionally call free_netdev().

The stack must not pass packets to device drivers that are shorter
than the minimum link layer header length.
Previously, packet sockets would drop packets smaller than or equal
to dev->hard_header_len, but this has false positives. Zero length
payload is used over Ethernet. Other link layer protocols support
variable length headers. Support for validation of these protocols
removed the min length check for all protocols.
Introduce an explicit dev->min_header_len parameter and drop all
packets below this value. Initially, set it to non-zero only for
Ethernet and loopback. Other protocols can follow in a patch to
net-next.

Testing xmit_more support with netperf and connected UDP sockets,
I found strange dst refcount false sharing.
Current handling of IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is not optimal.
Dropping dst in validate_xmit_skb() is certainly too late in case
packet was queued by cpu X but dequeued by cpu Y
The logical point to take care of drop/force is in __dev_queue_xmit()
before even taking qdisc lock.
As Julian Anastasov pointed out, need for skb_dst() might come from some
packet schedulers or classifiers.
This patch adds new helper to cleanly express needs of various drivers
or qdiscs/classifiers.
Drivers that need skb_dst() in their ndo_start_xmit() should call
following helper in their setup instead of the prior :
dev->priv_flags &= ~IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE;
->
netif_keep_dst(dev);
Instead of using a single bit, we use two bits, one being
eventually rebuilt in bonding/team drivers.
The other one, is permanent and blocks IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE being
rebuilt in bonding/team. Eventually, we could add something
smarter later.
