Tom Herbert fe8222406c net: Simplify RX queue allocation
This patch move RX queue allocation to alloc_netdev_mq and freeing of
the queues to free_netdev (symmetric to TX queue allocation).  Each
kobject RX queue takes a reference to the queue's device so that the
device can't be freed before all the kobjects have been released-- this
obviates the need for reference counts specific to RX queues.

Jesse Gross 58e998c6d2 offloading: Force software GSO for multiple vlan tags.
We currently use vlan_features to check for TSO support if there is
a vlan tag.  However, it's quite likely that the NIC is not able to
do TSO when there is an arbitrary number of tags.  Therefore if there
is more than one tag (in-band or out-of-band), fall back to software
emulation.

Jesse Gross c8d5bcd1af offloading: Support multiple vlan tags in GSO.
We assume that hardware TSO can't support multiple levels of vlan tags
but we allow it to be done.  Therefore, enable GSO to parse these tags

Jesse Gross e1e78db628 offloading: Make scatter/gather more tolerant of vlans.
When checking if it is necessary to linearize a packet, we currently
use vlan_features if the packet contains either an in-band or out-
of-band vlan tag.  However, in-band tags aren't special in any way
for scatter/gather since they are part of the packet buffer and are
simply more data to DMA.  Therefore, only use vlan_features for out-
of-band tags, which could potentially have some interaction with
scatter/gather.

Tom Herbert df32cc193a net: check queue_index from sock is valid for device
In dev_pick_tx recompute the queue index if the value stored in the
socket is greater than or equal to the number of real queues for the
device.  The saved index in the sock structure is not guaranteed to
be appropriate for the egress device (this could happen on a route
change or in presence of tunnelling).  The result of the queue index
being bad would be to return a bogus queue (crash could prersumably
follow).

dev_can_checksum() incorrectly returns true in these cases:

1. The skb has both out-of-band and in-band VLAN tags and the device
   supports checksum offload for the encapsulated protocol but only with
   one layer of encapsulation.
2. The skb has a VLAN tag and the device supports generic checksumming

Jesse Gross 3701e51382 vlan: Centralize handling 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.

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.

John Fastabend 3d3211ef5c net: netif_set_real_num_rx_queues may cap num_rx_queues at init time
Do not set num_rx_queues in netif_set_real_num_rx_queues() some
drivers will increase the real_num_rx_queues later due to a feature
changes or available interrupts increasing. By setting num_rx_queues
here this ends up creating a cap on the number of rx queues
available.

For example the ixgbe driver sets the max number of queues it intends
to use ever then sets the current number in use with the
netif_set_num_{rx|tx}_queues calls. With the current implementation
the number of rx queues gets limited so when a feature such as DCB
or FCoE is enabled the queues are no longer available.

kobjects will only be allocated for real_num_rx_queues so the waste
in memory is minimal.

Eric Dumazet caf586e5f2 net: add a core netdev->rx_dropped counter
In various situations, a device provides a packet to our stack and we
drop it before it enters protocol stack :
- softnet backlog full (accounted in /proc/net/softnet_stat)
- bad vlan tag (not accounted)
- unknown/unregistered protocol (not accounted)

We can handle a per-device counter of such dropped frames at core level,
and automatically adds it to the device provided stats (rx_dropped), so
that standard tools can be used (ifconfig, ip link, cat /proc/net/dev)

This is a generalization of commit 8990f468a (net: rx_dropped

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().

It currently uses a _very_ pessimistic 250 ms delay between each probe.

Most of the time, a refcount is about to be released by an RCU callback,
that is still in flight because rollback_registered_many() uses a

number of online cpus is one, because synchronize_rcu() is then a no op.

Helmut Schaa deabc772f3 net: fix tx queue selection for bridged devices implementing select_queue
When a net device is implementing the select_queue callback and is part of
a bridge, frames coming from the bridge already have a tx queue associated
to the socket (introduced in commit a4ee3ce329,
"net: Use sk_tx_queue_mapping for connected sockets"). The call to
sk_tx_queue_get will then return the tx queue used by the bridge instead
of calling the select_queue callback.

In case of mac80211 this broke QoS which is implemented by using the
select_queue callback. Furthermore it introduced problems with rt2x00
because frames with the same TID and RA sometimes appeared on different
tx queues which the hw cannot handle correctly.

Fix this by always calling select_queue first if it is available and only
afterwards use the socket tx queue mapping.

Koki Sanagi 07dc22e729 skb: Add tracepoints to freeing skb
This patch adds tracepoint to consume_skb and add trace_kfree_skb
before __kfree_skb in skb_free_datagram_locked and net_tx_action.
Combinating with tracepoint on dev_hard_start_xmit, we can check
how long it takes to free transmitted packets. And using it, we can
calculate how many packets driver had at that time. It is useful when
a drop of transmitted packet is a problem.

This patch adds tracepoint to dev_queue_xmit, dev_hard_start_xmit,
netif_rx and netif_receive_skb. These tracepoints help you to monitor

Eric Dumazet c07b68e841 net: dev_add_pack() & __dev_remove_pack() changes
Add a small helper ptype_head() to get the head to manipulate

dev_add_pack() & __dev_remove_pack() can use a spinlock without
blocking BH, since softirq use RCU, and these functions are run from
process context only.

Eric Dumazet 86cac58b71 skge: add GRO support
- napi_gro_flush() is exported from net/core/dev.c, to avoid
  an irq_save/irq_restore in the packet receive path.
- use napi_gro_receive() instead of netif_receive_skb()
- use napi_gro_flush() before calling __napi_complete()
- turn on NETIF_F_GRO by default
- Tested on a Marvell 88E8001 Gigabit NIC

Eric Dumazet 40d0802b3e gro: __napi_gro_receive() optimizations
compare_ether_header() can have a special implementation on 64 bit
arches if CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS is defined.

__napi_gro_receive() and vlan_gro_common() can avoid a conditional
branch to perform device match.

On x86_64, __napi_gro_receive() has now 38 instructions instead of 53

As gcc-4.4.3 still choose to not inline it, add inline keyword to this
performance critical function.

David S. Miller 21dc330157 net: Rename skb_has_frags to skb_has_frag_list
SKBs can be "fragmented" in two ways, via a page array (called
skb_shinfo(skb)->frags[]) and via a list of SKBs (called
skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list).

Since skb_has_frags() tests the latter, it's name is confusing
since it sounds more like it's testing the former.
