986a4f4d45 virtio_net: multiqueue support
This patch adds the multiqueue (VIRTIO_NET_F_MQ) support to virtio_net
driver. VIRTIO_NET_F_MQ capable device could allow the driver to do packet
transmission and reception through multiple queue pairs and does the packet
steering to get better performance. By default, one one queue pair is used, user
could change the number of queue pairs by ethtool in the next patch.

When multiple queue pairs is used and the number of queue pairs is equal to the
number of vcpus. Driver does the following optimizations to implement per-cpu
virt queue pairs:

- select the txq based on the smp processor id.
- smp affinity hint to the cpu that owns the queue pairs.

This could be used with the flow steering support of the device to guarantee the
packets of a single flow is handled by the same cpu.

ee07c6e7a6 bridge: export multicast database via netlink
V5: fix two bugs pointed out by Thomas
    remove seq check for now, mark it as TODO

V4: remove some useless #include
    some coding style fix

V3: drop debugging printk's
    update selinux perm table as well

V2: drop patch 1/2, export ifindex directly
    Redesign netlink attributes
    Improve netlink seq check
    Handle IPv6 addr as well

This patch exports bridge multicast database via netlink
message type RTM_GETMDB. Similar to fdb, but currently bridge-specific.
We may need to support modify multicast database too (RTM_{ADD,DEL}MDB).

(Thanks to Thomas for patient reviews)

Paul Mackerras
a2932923cc KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Provide a method for userspace to read and write the HPT
A new ioctl, KVM_PPC_GET_HTAB_FD, returns a file descriptor.  Reads on
this fd return the contents of the HPT (hashed page table), writes
create and/or remove entries in the HPT.  There is a new capability,
KVM_CAP_PPC_HTAB_FD, to indicate the presence of the ioctl.  The ioctl
takes an argument structure with the index of the first HPT entry to
read out and a set of flags.  The flags indicate whether the user is
intending to read or write the HPT, and whether to return all entries
or only the "bolted" entries (those with the bolted bit, 0x10, set in
the first doubleword).

This is intended for use in implementing qemu's savevm/loadvm and for
live migration.  Therefore, on reads, the first pass returns information
about all HPTEs (or all bolted HPTEs).  When the first pass reaches the
end of the HPT, it returns from the read.  Subsequent reads only return
information about HPTEs that have changed since they were last read.
A read that finds no changed HPTEs in the HPT following where the last
read finished will return 0 bytes.

The format of the data provides a simple run-length compression of the
invalid entries.  Each block of data starts with a header that indicates
the index (position in the HPT, which is just an array), the number of
valid entries starting at that index (may be zero), and the number of
invalid entries following those valid entries.  The valid entries, 16
bytes each, follow the header.  The invalid entries are not explicitly
represented.

* Two patches two improve ct object traceability. Now ct objects are

5d09710925 tun: only queue packets on device
Historically tun supported two modes of operation:
- in default mode, a small number of packets would get queued
  at the device, the rest would be queued in qdisc
- in one queue mode, all packets would get queued at the device

This might have made sense up to a point where we made the
queue depth for both modes the same and set it to
a huge value (500) so unless the consumer
is stuck the chance of losing packets is small.

Thus in practice both modes behave the same, but the
default mode has some problems:
- if packets are never consumed, fragments are never orphaned
  which cases a DOS for sender using zero copy transmit
- overrun errors are hard to diagnose: fifo error is incremented
  only once so you can not distinguish between
  userspace that is stuck and a transient failure,
  tcpdump on the device does not show any traffic

Userspace solves this simply by enabling IFF_ONE_QUEUE
but there seems to be little point in not doing the
right thing for everyone, by default.

d871befe35 netfilter: ctnetlink: dump entries from the dying and unconfirmed lists
This patch adds a new operation to dump the content of the dying and
unconfirmed lists.

Under some situations, the global conntrack counter can be inconsistent
with the number of entries that we can dump from the conntrack table.
The way to resolve this is to allow dumping the content of the unconfirmed
and dying lists, so far it was not possible to look at its content.

This provides some extra instrumentation to resolve problematic situations
in which anyone suspects memory leaks.
