8d50b53d66 pkt_sched: Fix OOPS on ingress qdisc add.
Bug report from Steven Jan Springl:

	Issuing the following command causes a kernel oops:
		tc qdisc add dev eth0 handle ffff: ingress

The problem mostly stems from all of the special case handling of
ingress qdiscs.

So, to fix this, do the grafting operation the same way we do for TX
qdiscs.  Which means that dev_activate() and dev_deactivate() now do
the "qdisc_sleeping <--> qdisc" transitions on dev->rx_queue too.

Future simplifications are possible now, mainly because it is
impossible for dev_queue->{qdisc,qdisc_sleeping} to be NULL.  There
are NULL checks all over to handle the ingress qdisc special case
that used to exist before this commit.

3072367300 pkt_sched: Manage qdisc list inside of root qdisc.
Idea is from Patrick McHardy.

Instead of managing the list of qdiscs on the device level, manage it
in the root qdisc of a netdev_queue.  This solves all kinds of
visibility issues during qdisc destruction.

The way to iterate over all qdiscs of a netdev_queue is to visit
the netdev_queue->qdisc, and then traverse it's list.

The only special case is to ignore builting qdiscs at the root when
dumping or doing a qdisc_lookup().  That was not needed previously
because builtin qdiscs were not added to the device's qdisc_list.

99194cff39 pkt_sched: Add multiqueue handling to qdisc_graft().
Move the destruction of the old queue into qdisc_graft().

When operating on a root qdisc (ie. "parent == NULL"), apply
the operation to all queues.  The caller has grabbed a single
implicit reference for this graft, therefore when we apply the
change to more than one queue we must grab additional qdisc
references.

Otherwise, we are operating on a class of a specific parent qdisc, and
therefore no multiqueue handling is necessary.

37437bb2e1 pkt_sched: Schedule qdiscs instead of netdev_queue.
When we have shared qdiscs, packets come out of the qdiscs
for multiple transmit queues.

Therefore it doesn't make any sense to schedule the transmit
queue when logically we cannot know ahead of time the TX
queue of the SKB that the qdisc->dequeue() will give us.

Just for sanity I added a BUG check to make sure we never
get into a state where the noop_qdisc is scheduled.

7698b4fcab pkt_sched: Add and use qdisc_root() and qdisc_root_lock().
When code wants to lock the qdisc tree state, the logic
operation it's doing is locking the top-level qdisc that
sits of the root of the netdev_queue.

Add qdisc_root_lock() to represent this and convert the
easiest cases.

In order for this to work out in all cases, we have to
hook up the noop_qdisc to a dummy netdev_queue.

e8a0464cc9 netdev: Allocate multiple queues for TX.
alloc_netdev_mq() now allocates an array of netdev_queue
structures for TX, based upon the queue_count argument.

Furthermore, all accesses to the TX queues are now vectored
through the netdev_get_tx_queue() and netdev_for_each_tx_queue()
interfaces.  This makes it easy to grep the tree for all
things that want to get to a TX queue of a net device.

Problem spots which are not really multiqueue aware yet, and
only work with one queue, can easily be spotted by grepping
for all netdev_get_tx_queue() calls that pass in a zero index.

bb949fbd18 netdev: Create netdev_queue abstraction.
A netdev_queue is an entity managed by a qdisc.

Currently there is one RX and one TX queue, and a netdev_queue merely
contains a backpointer to the net_device.

The Qdisc struct is augmented with a netdev_queue pointer as well.

Eventually the 'dev' Qdisc member will go away and we will have the
resulting hierarchy:

	net_device --> netdev_queue --> Qdisc

066a3b5b23 [NET_SCHED] sch_api: fix qdisc_tree_decrease_qlen() loop
TC_H_MAJ(parentid) for root classes is the same as for ingress, and if
ingress qdisc is created qdisc_lookup() returns its pointer (without
ingress NULL is returned). After this all qdisc_lookups give the same,
and we get endless loop. (I don't know how this could hide for so long
- it should trigger with every leaf class deleted if it's qdisc isn't
empty.)

After this fix qdisc_lookup() is omitted both for ingress and root
parents, but looking for root is only wasting a little time here...
Many thanks to Enrico Demarin for finding a test for catching this
bug, which probably bothered quite a lot of admins.

881d966b48 [NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace.
This patch makes most of the generic device layer network
namespace safe.  This patch makes dev_base_head a
network namespace variable, and then it picks up
a few associated variables.  The functions:
dev_getbyhwaddr
dev_getfirsthwbytype
dev_get_by_flags
dev_get_by_name
__dev_get_by_name
dev_get_by_index
__dev_get_by_index
dev_ioctl
dev_ethtool
dev_load
wireless_process_ioctl

were modified to take a network namespace argument, and
deal with it.

vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their
hooks will receive a network namespace argument.

So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was
affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle
multiple network namespaces.  The rest of the network stack was
simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network
namespace.  This can be fixed when those components of the network
stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces.

For now the ifindex generator is left global.

Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else
we will have corner case problems with migration when
we get that far.

At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack
that the ifindex of a network device won't change.  Making
the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until
the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when
you change namespaces, and the like.

457c4cbc5a [NET]: Make /proc/net per network namespace
This patch makes /proc/net per network namespace.  It modifies the global
variables proc_net and proc_net_stat to be per network namespace.
The proc_net file helpers are modified to take a network namespace argument,
and all of their callers are fixed to pass &init_net for that argument.
This ensures that all of the /proc/net files are only visible and
usable in the initial network namespace until the code behind them
has been updated to be handle multiple network namespaces.

Making /proc/net per namespace is necessary as at least some files
in /proc/net depend upon the set of network devices which is per
network namespace, and even more files in /proc/net have contents
that are relevant to a single network namespace.

73ca4918fb [NET_SCHED]: act_api: qdisc internal reclassify support
The behaviour of NET_CLS_POLICE for TC_POLICE_RECLASSIFY was to return
it to the qdisc, which could handle it internally or ignore it. With
NET_CLS_ACT however, tc_classify starts over at the first classifier
and never returns it to the qdisc. This makes it impossible to support
qdisc-internal reclassification, which in turn makes it impossible to
remove the old NET_CLS_POLICE code without breaking compatibility since
we have two qdiscs (CBQ and ATM) that support this.

This patch adds a tc_classify_compat function that handles
reclassification the old way and changes CBQ and ATM to use it.

This again is of course not fully backwards compatible with the previous
NET_CLS_ACT behaviour. Unfortunately there is no way to fully maintain
compatibility *and* support qdisc internal reclassification with
NET_CLS_ACT, but this seems like the better choice over keeping the two
incompatible options around forever.

11274e5a43 [NETEM]: avoid excessive requeues
The netem code would call getnstimeofday() and dequeue/requeue after
every packet, even if it was waiting. Avoid this overhead by using
the throttled flag.

27a884dc3c [SK_BUFF]: Convert skb->tail to sk_buff_data_t
So that it is also an offset from skb->head, reduces its size from 8 to 4 bytes
on 64bit architectures, allowing us to combine the 4 bytes hole left by the
layer headers conversion, reducing struct sk_buff size to 256 bytes, i.e. 4
64byte cachelines, and since the sk_buff slab cache is SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN...
:-)

Many calculations that previously required that skb->{transport,network,
mac}_header be first converted to a pointer now can be done directly, being
meaningful as offsets or pointers.
