Now that vlan acceleration is handled consistently regardless of usage,
it is possible to enable and disable it at will. This adds support for
Ethtool operations that change the offloading status for debugging
purposes, similar to other forms of hardware acceleration.

Currently each driver that is capable of vlan hardware acceleration
must be aware of the vlan groups that are configured and then pass
the stripped tag to a specialized receive function. This is
different from other types of hardware offload in that it places a
significant amount of knowledge in the driver itself rather keeping
it in the networking core.
This makes vlan offloading function more similarly to other forms
of offloading (such as checksum offloading or TSO) by doing the
following:
* On receive, stripped vlans are passed directly to the network
core, without attempting to check for vlan groups or reconstructing
the header if no group
* vlans are made less special by folding the logic into the main
receive routines
* On transmit, the device layer will add the vlan header in software
if the hardware doesn't support it, instead of spreading that logic
out in upper layers, such as bonding.
There are a number of advantages to this:
* Fixes all bugs with drivers incorrectly dropping vlan headers at once.
* Avoids having to disable VLAN acceleration when in promiscuous mode
(good for bridging since it always puts devices in promiscuous mode).
* Keeps VLAN tag separate until given to ultimate consumer, which
avoids needing to do header reconstruction as in tg3 unless absolutely
necessary.
* Consolidates common code in core networking.

A struct net_device always maps to zero or one vlan groups and we
always know the device when we are looking up a group. We currently
do a hash table lookup on the device to find the group but it is
much simpler to just store a pointer.

Currently users of hardware vlan accleration need to know whether
the device supports it before generating packets. However, vlan
acceleration will soon be available in a more flexible manner so
knowing ahead of time becomes much more difficult. This adds
a software fallback path for vlan packets on devices without the
necessary offloading support, similar to other types of hardware
accleration.

There is no point using RCU for dst we allocate for a very short time
(used once).
Change dst_release() to take DST_NOCACHE into account, but also change
skb_dst_set_noref() to force a refcount increment for such dst.
This is a _huge_ gain, because we dont waste memory to store xx thousand
of dsts. Instead of queueing them to RCU, we can free them instantly.
CPU caches can stay hot, re-using same memory blocks to hold temporary
dsts.
Note : remove unneeded smp_mb__before_atomic_dec(); in dst_release(),
since atomic_dec_return() implies a full memory barrier.

The bonding driver currently modifies the netpoll structure in its xmit path
while sending frames from netpoll. This is racy, as other cpus can access the
netpoll structure in parallel. Since the bonding driver points np->dev to a
slave device, other cpus can inadvertently attempt to send data directly to
slave devices, leading to improper locking with the bonding master, lost frames,
and deadlocks. This patch fixes that up.
This patch also removes the real_dev pointer from the netpoll structure as that
data is really only used by bonding in the poll_controller, and we can emulate
its behavior by check each slave for IS_UP.

Since commit e446630c96, i.e. v2.6.35-rc1,
the mcp251x chip model can be selected via the modalias member in the
struct spi_board_info. The driver stores the actual model in the
struct mcp251x_platform_data.
From the driver point of view the platform_data should be read only.
Since all in-tree users of the mcp251x have already been converted to
the modalias method, this patch moves the "model" member from the
struct mcp251x_platform_data to the driver's private data structure.

In a network bench, I noticed an unfortunate false sharing between
'loopback_dev' and 'count' fields in "struct net".
'count' is written each time a socket is created or destroyed, while
loopback_dev might be often read in routing code.
Move loopback_dev in a read mostly section of "struct net"
Note: struct netns_xfrm is cache line aligned on SMP.
(It contains a "struct dst_ops")
Move it at the end to avoid holes, and reduce sizeof(struct net) by 128
bytes on ia32.

commit b30973f877 (node-aware skb allocation) spread a wrong habit of
allocating net drivers skbs on a given memory node : The one closest to
the NIC hardware. This is wrong because as soon as we try to scale
network stack, we need to use many cpus to handle traffic and hit
slub/slab management on cross-node allocations/frees when these cpus
have to alloc/free skbs bound to a central node.
skb allocated in RX path are ephemeral, they have a very short
lifetime : Extra cost to maintain NUMA affinity is too expensive. What
appeared as a nice idea four years ago is in fact a bad one.
In 2010, NIC hardwares are multiqueue, or we use RPS to spread the load,
and two 10Gb NIC might deliver more than 28 million packets per second,
needing all the available cpus.
Cost of cross-node handling in network and vm stacks outperforms the
small benefit hardware had when doing its DMA transfert in its 'local'
memory node at RX time. Even trying to differentiate the two allocations
done for one skb (the sk_buff on local node, the data part on NIC
hardware node) is not enough to bring good performance.

Based on suggestion by Rémi Denis-Courmont to implement 'connect'
for Pipe controller logic, this patch implements 'connect' socket
call for the Pipe controller logic.
The patch does following:-
- Removes setsockopts for PNPIPE_CREATE and PNPIPE_DESTROY
- Adds setsockopt for setting the Pipe handle value
- Implements connect socket call
- Updates the Pipe controller logic
User-space should now follow below sequence with Pipe controller:-
-socket
-bind
-setsockopt for PNPIPE_PIPE_HANDLE
-connect
-setsockopt for PNPIPE_ENCAP_IP
-setsockopt for PNPIPE_ENABLE
GPRS/3G data has been tested working fine with this.

wext: fix alignment problem in serializing 'struct iw_point'
This fixes a typo in the definition of the serialized length of struct iw_point:
a) wireless.h is exported to userspace, the typo causes IW_EV_POINT_PK_LEN
to be 12 on 64-bit, and 8 on 32-bit systems (causing misalignment);
b) in compat-64 mode iwe_stream_add_point() memcpys overlap (see below).
The second case in in compat-64 mode looks like (variable names are as in
include/net/iw_handler.h:iwe_stream_add_point()):
point_len = IW_EV_COMPAT_POINT_LEN = 8
lcp_len = IW_EV_COMPAT_LCP_LEN = 4
2nd memcpy: IW_EV_POINT_PK_LEN - IW_EV_LCP_PK_LEN = 12 - 4 = 8
IW_EV_LCP_PK_LEN
<--------------> *---> 'extra' data area
+-------+-------+-------+-------+---------------+------- ...-+
| len | cmd |length | flags | (empty) -> extra ... |
+-------+-------+-------+-------+---------------+------- ...-+
2 2 2 2 4
lcp_len
<--------------> <-!! OVERLAP !!>
<--1st memcpy--><------- 2nd memcpy ----------->
<---- 3rd memcpy ------- ... >
<--------- point_len ---------->
This case could cause overrun whenever iw_point.length < 4.
The other two cases are -
* 32-bit systems: IW_EV_POINT_PK_LEN - IW_EV_LCP_PK_LEN = 8 - 4 = 4,
the second memcpy copies exactly the 4 required bytes;
* 64-bit systems: IW_EV_POINT_PK_LEN - IW_EV_LCP_PK_LEN = 12 - 4 = 8,
the second memcpy copies a superfluous (but non overlapping) 4 bytes.
The patch changes IW_EV_POINT_PK_LEN to be 8, so that in all 3 cases always only
the requested iw_point.{length,flags} (both __u16) are copied, avoiding overrrun
(compat-64) and superfluous copy (64-bit). In addition, the userspace header is
sanitized (in agreement with version 30 of the wireless tools).

We tried very hard to remove all possible dev_hold()/dev_put() pairs in
network stack, using RCU conversions.
There is still an unavoidable device refcount change for every dst we
create/destroy, and this can slow down some workloads (routers or some
app servers, mmap af_packet)
We can switch to a percpu refcount implementation, now dynamic per_cpu
infrastructure is mature. On a 64 cpus machine, this consumes 256 bytes
per device.
