6e327c11a9 8021q: Vlan driver should use rcu_barrier() on unload instead of syncronize_net()
The VLAN 8021q driver needs to call rcu_barrier() when unloading the module,
instead of syncronize_net().  This is needed to make sure that outstanding
call_rcu() callbacks have completed, before the callback function code is
removed on module unload.

ccffad25b5 net: convert unicast addr list
This patch converts unicast address list to standard list_head using
previously introduced struct netdev_hw_addr. It also relaxes the
locking. Original spinlock (still used for multicast addresses) is not
needed and is no longer used for a protection of this list. All
reading and writing takes place under rtnl (with no changes).

I also removed a possibility to specify the length of the address
while adding or deleting unicast address. It's always dev->addr_len.

The convertion touched especially e1000 and ixgbe codes when the
change is not so trivial.

93f154b594 net: release dst entry in dev_hard_start_xmit()
One point of contention in high network loads is the dst_release() performed
when a transmited skb is freed. This is because NIC tx completion calls
dev_kree_skb() long after original call to dev_queue_xmit(skb).

CPU cache is cold and the atomic op in dst_release() stalls. On SMP, this is
quite visible if one CPU is 100% handling softirqs for a network device,
since dst_clone() is done by other cpus, involving cache line ping pongs.

It seems right place to release dst is in dev_hard_start_xmit(), for most
devices but ones that are virtual, and some exceptions.

David Miller suggested to define a new device flag, set in alloc_netdev_mq()
(so that most devices set it at init time), and carefuly unset in devices
which dont want a NULL skb->dst in their ndo_start_xmit().

List of devices that must clear this flag is :

- loopback device, because it calls netif_rx() and quoting Patrick :
    "ip_route_input() doesn't accept loopback addresses, so loopback packets
     already need to have a dst_entry attached."
- appletalk/ipddp.c : needs skb->dst in its xmit function

- And all devices that call again dev_queue_xmit() from their xmit function
(as some classifiers need skb->dst) : bonding, vlan, macvlan, eql, ifb, hdlc_fr

adc667e84f vlan: update vlan carrier state for admin up/down
Currently, the VLAN event handler does not adjust the VLAN
device's carrier state when the real device or the VLAN device is set
administratively up or down.

	The following patch adds a transfer of operating state from the
real device to the VLAN device when the real device is administratively
set up or down, and sets the carrier state up or down during init, open
and close of the VLAN device.

	This permits observers above the VLAN device that care about the
carrier state (bonding's link monitor, for example) to receive updates
for administrative changes by more closely mimicing the behavior of real
devices.

1db9e29bb0 gro: Normalise skb before bypassing GRO on netpoll VLAN path
Hi:

gro: Normalise skb before bypassing GRO on netpoll VLAN path

When we detect netpoll RX on the GRO VLAN path we bail out and
call the normal VLAN receive handler.  However, the packet needs
to be normalised by calling eth_type_trans since that's what the
normal path expects (normally the GRO path does the fixup).

This patch adds the necessary call to vlan_gro_frags.

d1c76af9e2 GRO: Move netpoll checks to correct location
As my netpoll fix for net doesn't really work for net-next, we
need this update to move the checks into the right place.  As it
stands we may pass freed skbs to netpoll_receive_skb.

This patch also introduces a netpoll_rx_on function to avoid GRO
completely if we're invoked through netpoll.  This might seem
paranoid but as netpoll may have an external receive hook it's
better to be safe than sorry.  I don't think we need this for
2.6.29 though since there's nothing immediately broken by it.

This patch also moves the GRO_* return values to netdevice.h since
VLAN needs them too (I tried to avoid this originally but alas
this seems to be the easiest way out).  This fixes a bug in VLAN
where it continued to use the old return value 2 instead of the
correct GRO_DROP.

Add a netdev_resync_ops() and call it from the vlan code.

will need to call this new function after doing so too.

4ead443163 netpoll: Add drop checks to all entry points
The netpoll entry checks are required to ensure that we don't
receive normal packets when invoked via netpoll.  Unfortunately
it only ever worked for the netif_receive_skb/netif_rx entry
points.  The VLAN (and subsequently GRO) entry point didn't
have the check and therefore can trigger all sorts of weird
problems.

This patch adds the netpoll check to all entry points.

I'm still uneasy with receiving at all under netpoll (which
apparently is only used by the out-of-tree kdump code).  The
reason is it is perfectly legal to receive all data including
headers into highmem if netpoll is off, but if you try to do
that with netpoll on and someone gets a printk in an IRQ handler                                             
you're going to get a nice BUG_ON.

86911732d3 gro: Avoid copying headers of unmerged packets
Unfortunately simplicity isn't always the best.  The fraginfo
interface turned out to be suboptimal.  The problem was quite
obvious.  For every packet, we have to copy the headers from
the frags structure into skb->head, even though for 99% of the
packets this part is immediately thrown away after the merge.

LRO didn't have this problem because it directly read the headers
from the frags structure.

This patch attempts to address this by creating an interface
that allows GRO to access the headers in the first frag without
having to copy it.  Because all drivers that use frags place the
headers in the first frag this optimisation should be enough.

This patch adds GRO interfaces for hardware-assisted VLAN reception.
With this in place we're now at parity with LRO as far as the

As the CB memory clashes with GRO's use of CB, I've removed it
entirely by storing dev in skb->dev.  This is OK because VLAN
gets called first thing in netif_receive_skb and skb->dev is
not used in between us calling netif_rx and netif_receive_skb
getting called.

9b22ea5609 net: fix packet socket delivery in rx irq handler
The changes to deliver hardware accelerated VLAN packets to packet

The __vlan_hwaccel_rx() function is called directly from the drivers
RX function, for non-NAPI drivers that means its still in RX IRQ
context:

Split hardware accelerated VLAN reception into two parts to fix this:

- __vlan_hwaccel_rx just stores the VLAN TCI and performs the VLAN
  device lookup, then calls netif_receive_skb()/netif_rx()

- vlan_hwaccel_do_receive(), which is invoked by netif_receive_skb()
  in softirq context, performs the real reception and delivery to
  packet sockets.

Furthermore, all accesses to the TX queues are now vectored

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.

bc1d0411b8 vlan: deliver packets received with VLAN acceleration to network taps
When VLAN header stripping is used, packets currently bypass packet
sockets (and other network taps) completely. For locally existing
VLANs, they appear directly on the VLAN device, for unknown VLANs
they are silently dropped.

Add a new function netif_nit_deliver() to deliver incoming packets
to all network interface taps and use it in __vlan_hwaccel_rx() to
make VLAN packets visible on the underlying device.

89146504cb 8021q: Check return of dev_set_promiscuity/allmulti
dev_set_promiscuity/allmulti might overflow.
Commit: "netdevice: Fix promiscuity and allmulti overflow" in net-next makes
dev_set_promiscuity/allmulti return error number if overflow happened.

Here, we check all positive increment for promiscuity and allmulti
to get error return.

c773e847ea netdev: Move _xmit_lock and xmit_lock_owner into netdev_queue.
Accesses are mostly structured such that when there are multiple TX
queues the code transformations will be a little bit simpler.

11a100f844 vlan: avoid header copying and linearisation where possible
- vlan_dev_reorder_header() is only called on the receive path after
  calling skb_share_check(). This means we can use skb_cow() since
  all we need is a writable header.

- vlan_dev_hard_header() includes a work-around for some apparently
  broken out of tree MPLS code. The hard_header functions can expect
  to always have a headroom of at least there own hard_header_len
  available, so the reallocation check is unnecessary.

- __vlan_put_tag() can use skb_cow_head() to avoid the skb_unshare()
  copy when the header is writable.

9bb8582efb vlan: TCI related type and naming cleanups
The VLAN code contains multiple spots that use tag, id and tci as
identifiers for arguments and variables incorrectly and they actually
contain or are expected to contain something different. Additionally
types are used inconsistently (unsigned short vs u16) and identifiers
are sometimes capitalized.

- consistently use u16 for storing TCI, ID or QoS values
- consistently use vlan_id and vlan_tci for storing the respective values
- remove capitalization
- add kdoc comment to netif_hwaccel_{rx,receive_skb}

22d1ba74bb vlan: move struct vlan_dev_info to private header
Hide struct vlan_dev_info from drivers to prevent them from growing
more creative ways to use it. Provide accessors for the two drivers
that currently use it.
