Recent changes in the TX error propagation require additional checking
and masking of values returned from hard_start_xmit(), mainly to
separate cases where skb was consumed. This aim can be simplified by
changing the order of NETDEV_TX and NET_XMIT codes, because the latter
are treated similarly to negative (ERRNO) values.
After this change much simpler dev_xmit_complete() is also used in
sch_direct_xmit(), so it is moved to netdevice.h.
Additionally NET_RX definitions in netdevice.h are moved up from
between TX codes to avoid confusion while reading the TX comment.

While investigating for network latencies, I found inet_getid() was a
contention point for some workloads, as inet_peer_idlock is shared
by all inet_getid() users regardless of peers.
One way to fix this is to make ip_id_count an atomic_t instead
of __u16, and use atomic_add_return().
In order to keep sizeof(struct inet_peer) = 64 on 64bit arches
tcp_ts_stamp is also converted to __u32 instead of "unsigned long".

When handling large number of netdevices, inet6_dump_addr()
is very slow because it has O(N^2) complexity.
Instead of scanning one single list, we can use the NETDEV_HASHENTRIES
sub lists of the dev_index hash table, and RCU lookups.

Indeed. But we dump at most one skb (<= 8192 bytes ?), so rcu_read_lock
holding time is small, unless we meet many netdevices without
addresses. I wonder if its really common...

Both vlan and macvlan devices usually don't use a qdisc and immediately
queue packets to the underlying device. Propagate transmission state of
the underlying device to the upper layers so they can react on congestion
and/or inform the sending process.

Currently the ->ndo_hard_start_xmit() callbacks are only permitted to return
one of the NETDEV_TX codes. This prevents any kind of error propagation for
virtual devices, like queue congestion of the underlying device in case of
layered devices, or unreachability in case of tunnels.
This patches changes the NET_XMIT codes to avoid clashes with the NETDEV_TX
codes and changes the two callers of dev_hard_start_xmit() to expect either
errno codes, NET_XMIT codes or NETDEV_TX codes as return value.
In case of qdisc_restart(), all non NETDEV_TX codes are mapped to NETDEV_TX_OK
since no error propagation is possible when using qdiscs. In case of
dev_queue_xmit(), the error is propagated upwards.

We have two implementations of the compat_ioctl handling for ATM, the
one that we have had for ages in fs/compat_ioctl.c and the one added to
net/atm/ioctl.c by David Woodhouse. Unfortunately, both versions are
incomplete, and in practice we use a very confusing combination of the
two.
For ioctl numbers that have the same identifier on 32 and 64 bit systems,
we go directly through the compat_ioctl socket operation, for those that
differ, we do a conversion in fs/compat_ioctl.c.
This patch moves both variants into the vcc_compat_ioctl() function,
while preserving the current behaviour. It also kills off the COMPATIBLE_IOCTL
definitions that we never use here.
Doing it this way is clearly not a good solution, but I hope it is a
step into the right direction, so that someone is able to clean up this
mess for real.

Handling for SIOCSHWTSTAMP is broken on architectures
with a split user/kernel address space like s390,
because it passes a real user pointer while using
set_fs(KERNEL_DS).
A similar problem might arise the next time somebody
adds code to dev_ifsioc.
Split up dev_ifsioc into three separate functions for
SIOCSHWTSTAMP, SIOC*IFMAP and all other numbers so
we can get rid of set_fs in all potentially affected
cases.

The full_name_hash function does not produce well distributed values in
the lower bits, so most code uses hash_32() to fold it. This is really
a bug introduced when name hashing was added, back in 2.5 when I added
name hashing.
hash_32 is all that is needed since full_name_hash returns unsigned int
which is only 32 bits on 64 bit platforms.
Also, there is no point in using hash_32 on ifindex, because the is naturally
sequential and usually well distributed.

NAPI drivers try to recycle SKBs in their polling routine, but we
generally don't know the context in which the polling will be called,
and the skb recycling itself may require IRQs to be enabled.
This patch adds irqs_disabled() test to the skb_recycle_check()
routine, so that we'll not let the drivers hit the skb recycling
path with IRQs disabled.
As a side effect, this patch actually disables skb recycling for some
[broken] drivers. E.g. gianfar driver grabs an irqsave spinlock during
TX ring processing, and then tries to recycle an skb, and that caused
the following badness:
nf_conntrack version 0.5.0 (1008 buckets, 4032 max)

This patch rearranges the SIT DF bit handling using the new IPIP DF
code. The only externally visible effect should be the case where
PMTU is enabled and the MTU is exactly 1280 bytes. In this case the
previous code would send packets out with DF off while the new code
would set the DF bit. This is inline with RFC 4213.

This fixes the following bug in the current implementation of
net/xfrm: SAD entries timeouts do not count the time spent by the machine
in the suspended state. This leads to the connectivity problems because
after resuming local machine thinks that the SAD entry is still valid, while
it has already been expired on the remote server.
The cause of this is very simple: the timeouts in the net/xfrm are bound to
the old mod_timer() timers. This patch reassigns them to the
CLOCK_REALTIME hrtimer.
I have been using this version of the patch for a few months on my
machines without any problems. Also run a few stress tests w/o any
issues.
This version of the patch uses tasklet_hrtimer by Peter Zijlstra

There is no good reason to not support userspace specifying the
network namespace during device creation, and it makes it easier
to create a network device and pass it to a child network namespace
with a well known name.
We have to be careful to ensure that the target network namespace
for the new device exists through the life of the call. To keep
that logic clear I have factored out the network namespace grabbing
logic into rtnl_link_get_net.
In addtion we need to continue to pass the source network namespace
to the rtnl_link_ops.newlink method so that we can find the base
device source network namespace.
