Benjamin Thery tracked down a bug that explains many instances
of the error
unregister_netdevice: waiting for %s to become free. Usage count = %d
It turns out that netdev_run_todo can dead-lock with itself if
a second instance of it is run in a thread that will then free
a reference to the device waited on by the first instance.
The problem is really quite silly. We were trying to create
parallelism where none was required. As netdev_run_todo always
follows a RTNL section, and that todo tasks can only be added
with the RTNL held, by definition you should only need to wait
for the very ones that you've added and be done with it.
There is no need for a second mutex or spinlock.
This is exactly what the following patch does.

Jesper Dangaard Brouer <hawk@comx.dk> reported a bug when setting a VLAN
device down that is in promiscous mode:
When the VLAN device is set down, the promiscous count on the real
device is decremented by one by vlan_dev_stop(). When removing the
promiscous flag from the VLAN device afterwards, the promiscous
count on the real device is decremented a second time by the
vlan_change_rx_flags() callback.
The root cause for this is that the ->change_rx_flags() callback is
invoked while the device is down. The synchronization is meant to mirror
the behaviour of the ->set_rx_mode callbacks, meaning the ->open function
is responsible for doing a full sync on open, the ->close() function is
responsible for doing full cleanup on ->stop() and ->change_rx_flags()
is meant to do incremental changes while the device is UP.
Only invoke ->change_rx_flags() while the device is UP to provide the
intended behaviour.

This patch adds skb_recycle_check(), which can be used by a network
driver after transmitting an skb to check whether this skb can be
recycled as a receive buffer.
skb_recycle_check() checks that the skb is not shared or cloned, and
that it is linear and its head portion large enough (as determined by
the driver) to be recycled as a receive buffer. If these conditions
are met, it does any necessary reference count dropping and cleans
up the skbuff as if it just came from __alloc_skb().

This patch add support for keeping an additional character alias
associated with an network interface. This is useful for maintaining
the SNMP ifAlias value which is a user defined value. Routers use this
to hold information like which circuit or line it is connected to. It
is just an arbitrary text label on the network device.
There are two exposed interfaces with this patch, the value can be
read/written either via netlink or sysfs.
This could be maintained just by the snmp daemon, but it is more
generally useful for other management tools, and the kernel is good
place to act as an agreed upon interface to store it.

Currently simple_tx_hash is hashing inside of udp fragments. As a result
packets are getting getting sent to all queues when they shouldn't be.
This causes a serious performance regression which can be seen by sending
UDP frames larger than mtu on multiqueue devices. This change will make
it so that fragments are hashed only as IP datagrams w/o any protocol

The dst garbage collector dst_gc_task() may not be scheduled as we
expect it to be in __dst_free().
Indeed, when the dst_gc_timer was replaced by the delayed_work
dst_gc_work, the mod_timer() call used to schedule the garbage
collector at an earlier date was replaced by a schedule_delayed_work()
(see commit 86bba269d0).
But, the behaviour of mod_timer() and schedule_delayed_work() is
different in the way they handle the delay.
mod_timer() stops the timer and re-arm it with the new given delay,
whereas schedule_delayed_work() only check if the work is already
queued in the workqueue (and queue it (with delay) if it is not)
BUT it does NOT take into account the new delay (even if the new delay
is earlier in time).
schedule_delayed_work() returns 0 if it didn't queue the work,
but we don't check the return code in __dst_free().
If I understand the code in __dst_free() correctly, we want dst_gc_task
to be queued after DST_GC_INC jiffies if we pass the test (and not in
some undetermined time in the future), so I think we should add a call
to cancel_delayed_work() before schedule_delayed_work(). Patch below.
Or we should at least test the return code of schedule_delayed_work(),
and reset the values of dst_garbage.timer_inc and dst_garbage.timer_expires
back to their former values if schedule_delayed_work() failed.
Otherwise the subsequent calls to __dst_free will test the wrong values
and assume wrong thing about when the garbage collector is supposed to
be scheduled.
dst_gc_task() also calls schedule_delayed_work() without checking
its return code (or calling cancel_scheduled_work() first), but it
should fine there: dst_gc_task is the routine of the delayed_work, so
no dst_gc_work should be pending in the queue when it's running.

As it stands users of netdev_compute_features (e.g., bridges/bonding)
will only enable TSO if all consituent devices support it. This
is unnecessarily pessimistic since even on devices that do not
support hardware TSO and SG, emulated TSO still performs to a par
with TSO off.
This patch enables TSO if at least on constituent device supports
it in hardware.
The direct beneficiaries will be virtualisation that uses bridging
since this means that TSO will always be enabled for communication
from the host to the guests.

If dev_deactivate() is trying to quiesce the queue, it
is theoretically possible for another cpu to livelock
trying to process that queue. This happens because
dev_deactivate() grabs the queue spinlock as it checks
the queue state, whereas net_tx_action() does a trylock
and reschedules the qdisc if it hits the lock.
This breaks the livelock by adding a check on
__QDISC_STATE_DEACTIVATED to net_tx_action() when
the trylock fails.

This new state lets dev_deactivate() mark a qdisc as having been
deactivated.
dev_queue_xmit() and ing_filter() check for this bit and do not
try to process the qdisc if the bit is set.
dev_deactivate() polls the qdisc after setting the bit, waiting
for both __QDISC_STATE_RUNNING and __QDISC_STATE_SCHED to clear.
This isn't perfect yet, but subsequent changesets will make it so.
This part is just one piece of the puzzle.

Sofar far pktgen have had a restriction to only use one device per kernel
thread. With the new multiqueue architecture this is no longer adequate.
The patch below is an effort to remove this by in pktgen configuration
adding a tag to the device name a la eth0@0 etc. The tag is used for
usual device config just as before. Also a new flag is introduced to mirror
queue_map with sending threads smp_processor_id() QUEUE_MAP_CPU.
An example: We use 4 CPU's to send to one 10g interface (eth0)
and we use the new tagging to send a mix of packet sizes, 64, 576 and
1500 bytes. Also we use TX queues according to smp_processor_id()

If a netdevice does not support hardware GSO, allowing the stack to
use GSO anyway and then splitting the GSO skb into MSS-sized pieces
as it is handed to the netdevice for transmitting is likely still
a win as far as throughput and/or CPU usage are concerned, since it
reduces the number of trips through the output path.
This patch enables the use of GSO on any netdevice that supports SG.
If a GSO skb is then sent to a netdevice that supports SG but does not
