This patch effectively reverts commit d0498d9ae1a5cebac363e38907266d5cd2eedf89
aka "[NET]: Do not allocate unneeded memory for dev->priv alignment."
It was found to be buggy because of final unconditional += NETDEV_ALIGN_CONST
removal.
For example, for sizeof(struct net_device) being 2048 bytes, "alloc_size"
was also 2048 bytes, but allocator with debugging options turned on started
giving out !32-byte aligned memory resulting in redzones overwrites.
Patch does small optimization in ->priv'less case: bumping size to next
32-byte boundary was always done to ensure ->priv will also be aligned.
But, no ->priv, no need to do that.

The alloc_netdev_mq() tries to produce 32-bytes alignment for both
the net_device itself and its private data. The second alignment is
achieved by adding the NETDEV_ALIGN_CONST to the whole size of
the memory to be allocated.
However, for those devices that do not need the private area, this
addition just makes the net_device weight 1024 + 32 = 1068 bytes,
i.e. consume twice as much memory.
Since loopback device is such (sizeof_priv == 0 for it), and each
net namespace creates one, this can save a noticeable amount of
memory for kernel with net namespaces turned on.
After this set the lo device is actually allocated from a size-1024
kmem cache on i386 box even with NETPOLL and WIRELESS_EXT turned on.

Update: My mailer ate one of Jarek's feedback mails... Fixed the
parameter in netif_set_gso_max_size() to be u32, not u16. Fixed the
whitespace issue due to a patch import botch. Changed the types from
u32 to unsigned int to be more consistent with other variables in the
area. Also brought the patch up to the latest net-2.6.26 tree.
Update: Made gso_max_size container 32 bits, not 16. Moved the
location of gso_max_size within netdev to be less hotpath. Made more
consistent names between the sock and netdev layers, and added a
define for the max GSO size.
Update: Respun for net-2.6.26 tree.
Update: changed max_gso_frame_size and sk_gso_max_size from signed to
unsigned - thanks Stephen!
This patch adds the ability for device drivers to control the size of
the TSO frames being sent to them, per TCP connection. By setting the
netdevice's gso_max_size value, the socket layer will set the GSO
frame size based on that value. This will propogate into the TCP
layer, and send TSO's of that size to the hardware.
This can be desirable to help tune the bursty nature of TSO on a
per-adapter basis, where one may have 1 GbE and 10 GbE devices
coexisting in a system, one running multiqueue and the other not, etc.
This can also be desirable for devices that cannot support full 64 KB
TSO's, but still want to benefit from some level of segmentation
offloading.

add multicast list synchronization helpers") from you introduced a new
field "da_synced" to struct dev_addr_list that is not properly

There is a race in Linux kernel file net/core/dev.c, function dev_close.
The function calls function dev_deactivate, which calls function
dev_watchdog_down that deletes the watchdog timer. However, after that, a
driver can call netif_carrier_ok, which calls function
__netdev_watchdog_up that can add the watchdog timer again. Function
unregister_netdevice calls function dev_shutdown that traps the bug
!timer_pending(&dev->watchdog_timer). Moving dev_deactivate after
netif_running() has been cleared prevents function netif_carrier_on
from calling __netdev_watchdog_up and adding the watchdog timer again.

Reuse the existing logic for multicast list synchronization for the
unicast address list. The core of dev_mc_sync/unsync are split out as
__dev_addr_sync/unsync and moved from dev_mcast.c to dev.c. These are
then used to implement dev_unicast_sync/unsync as well.
I'm working on cleaning up Intel's FCoE stack, which generates new MAC
addresses from the fibre channel device id assigned by the fabric as
per the current draft specification in T11. When using such a
protocol in a VLAN environment it would be nice to not always be
forced into promiscuous mode, assuming the underlying Ethernet driver
supports multiple unicast addresses as well.

Commit fcc5a03ac42564e9e255c1134dda47442289e466:
[NET]: Allow netdev REGISTER/CHANGENAME events to fail
makes the register_netdevice_notifier() handle the error from the
NETDEV_REGISTER event, sent to the registering block.
The bad news is that in this case the notifier block is
not removed from the list, but the error is returned to the
caller. In case the caller is in module init function and
handles this error this can abort the module loading. The
notifier block will be then removed from the kernel, but
will be left in the list. Oops :(
I think that the notifier block should be removed from the
chain in case of error, regardless whether this error is
handled by the caller or not. In the worst case (the error
is _not_ handled) module will not receive the events any
longer.

Point 1:
The unregistering of a network device schedule a netdev_run_todo.
This function calls dev->destructor when it is set and the
destructor calls free_netdev.
Point 2:
In the case of an initialization of a network device the usual code
is:
* alloc_netdev
* register_netdev
-> if this one fails, call free_netdev and exit with error.
Point 3:
In the register_netdevice function at the later state, when the device
is at the registered state, a call to the netdevice_notifiers is made.
If one of the notification falls into an error, a rollback to the
registered state is done using unregister_netdevice.
Conclusion:
When a network device fails to register during initialization because
one network subsystem returned an error during a notification call
chain, the network device is freed twice because of fact 1 and fact 2.
The second free_netdev will be done with an invalid pointer.
Proposed solution:
The following patch move all the code of unregister_netdevice *except*
the call to net_set_todo, to a new function "rollback_registered".
The following functions are changed in this way:
* register_netdevice: calls rollback_registered when a notification fails
* unregister_netdevice: calls rollback_register + net_set_todo, the call
order to net_set_todo is changed because it is the
latest now. Since it justs add an element to a list
that should not break anything.

It is not safe to to place struct pernet_operations in a special section.
We need struct pernet_operations to last until we call unregister_pernet_subsys.
Which doesn't happen until module unload.
So marking struct pernet_operations is a disaster for modules in two ways.
- We discard it before we call the exit method it points to.
- Because I keep struct pernet_operations on a linked list discarding
it for compiled in code removes elements in the middle of a linked
list and does horrible things for linked insert.
So this looks safe assuming __exit_refok is not discarded
for modules.

TCP packets all have writable heads, that is, even though it's cloned, it is
writable up to the end of the TCP header. This patch makes skb_checksum_help
aware of this fact by using skb_clone_writable and avoiding a copy for TCP.
I've also modified the BUG_ON tests to be unsigned. The only case where this
makes a difference is if csum_start points to a location before skb->data.
Since skb->data should always include the header where the checksum field
is (and all currently callers adhere to that), this change is safe and may
uncover bugs later.

With the net namespaces many code leaved the __init section,
thus making the kernel occupy more memory than it did before.
Since we have a config option that prohibits the namespace
creation, the functions that initialize/finalize some netns
stuff are simply not needed and can be freed after the boot.
Currently, this is almost not noticeable, since few calls
are no longer in __init, but when the namespaces will be
merged it will be possible to free more code. I propose to
use the __net_init, __net_exit and __net_initdata "attributes"
for functions/variables that are not used if the CONFIG_NET_NS
is not set to save more space in memory.
The exiting functions cannot just reside in the __exit section,
as noticed by David, since the init section will have
references on it and the compilation will fail due to modpost
checks. These references can exist, since the init namespace
never dies and the exit callbacks are never called. So I
introduce the __exit_refok attribute just like it is already
done with the __init_refok.

When sysfs support is compiled out the kernel still keeps and maintains
the kobject tree. So it is not safe to skip our kobject reference counting or
to avoid becoming members of the kobject tree. It is safe to not add
the networking specific sysfs attributes.
This patch removes the sysfs special cases from net/core/dev.c
renames functions from netdev_sysfs_xxxx to netdev_kobject_xxxx
and always compiles in net-sysfs.c
net-sysfs.c is modified with a CONFIG_SYSFS guard around the parts
that are actually sysfs specific.
