Ben Hutchings 62fe0b40ab net: Allow changing number of RX queues after device allocation
For RPS, we create a kobject for each RX queue based on the number of
queues passed to alloc_netdev_mq().  However, drivers generally do not
determine the numbers of hardware queues to use until much later, so
this usually represents the maximum number the driver may use and not
the actual number in use.

For TX queues, drivers can update the actual number using
netif_set_real_num_tx_queues().  Add a corresponding function for RX
queues, netif_set_real_num_rx_queues().

Eric Dumazet 290b895e0b tunnels: prepare percpu accounting
Tunnels are going to use percpu for their accounting.

They are going to use a new tstats field in net_device.

skb_tunnel_rx() is changed to be a wrapper around __skb_tunnel_rx()

IPTUNNEL_XMIT() is changed to be a wrapper around __IPTUNNEL_XMIT()

Kumar Sanghvi 8d98efa84b Phonet: Implement Pipe Controller to support Nokia Slim Modems
Phonet stack assumes the presence of Pipe Controller, either in Modem or
on Application Processing Engine user-space for the Pipe data.
Nokia Slim Modems like WG2.5 used in ST-Ericsson U8500 platform do not
implement Pipe controller in them.
This patch adds Pipe Controller implemenation to Phonet stack to support
Pipe data over Phonet stack for Nokia Slim Modems.

Eric Dumazet a7855c78a2 net: loopback driver cleanup
loopback driver uses dev->ml_priv to store its percpu stats pointer.
It uses ugly casts "(void __percpu __force *)" to shut up sparse
complains.

Define an union to better document we use ml_priv in loopback driver and
define a lstats field with appropriate types.

Ollie Wild 56b49f4b8f net: Move "struct net" declaration inside the __KERNEL__ macro guard
This patch reduces namespace pollution by moving the "struct net" declaration
out of the userspace-facing portion of linux/netlink.h.  It has no impact on
the kernel.

(This came up because we have several C++ applications which use "net" as a
namespace name.)

Ohad Ben-Cohen 61ee7007a5 wl12xx: add platform data passing support
Add a simple mechanism to pass platform data to the
SDIO instances of wl12xx.

This way there is no confusion over who owns the 'embedded data',
typechecking is preserved, and no possibility for the wrong driver to
pick up the data.

Originally proposed by Russell King.

We cannot use rcu_dereference_bh safely in netpoll_rx as we may

IRQs as that too causes BH to be disabled and is safe in either
case.

The ethtool utility does not set masks for flow parameters that are
not specified, so if both value and mask are 0 then this must be
treated as equivalent to a mask with all bits set.  Currently that is
done in the only driver that implements RX n-tuple filtering, ixgbe.
Move it to the ethtool core.

Giuseppe CAVALLARO ebbb293f8b stmmac: consolidate and tidy-up the COE support
The first version of the driver had hard-coded the logic
for handling the checksum offloading.
This was designed according to the chips included in
the STM platforms where:
o MAC10/100 supports no COE at all.
o GMAC fully supports RX/TX COE.

This is not good for other chip configurations where,
for example, the mac10/100 supports the tx csum in HW
or when the GMAC has no IPC.

Thanks to Johannes Stezenbach; he provided me a first
draft of this patch that only reviewed the IPC for the
GMAC devices.

This patch also helps on SPEAr platforms where the
MAC10/100 can perform the TX csum in HW.
Thanks to Deepak SIKRI for his support on this.

In the end, GMAC devices for STM platforms have
a bugged Jumbo frame support that needs to have
the Tx COE disabled for oversized frames (due to
limited buffer sizes). This information is also
passed through the driver's platform structure.
