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...

Thanks

[PATCH net-next-2.6] ipv4: speedup inet_dump_ifaddr()

When handling large number of netdevices, inet_dump_ifaddr()
is very slow because it has O(N2) complexity.

Instead of scanning one single list, we can use the NETDEV_HASHENTRIES
sub lists of the dev_index hash table, and RCU lookups.

This patch pairs similar-numbered Rx and Tx queues onto a single
MSI-X vector.  For example, Tx queue 0 and Rx queue 0's interrupt
with be ethX-RxTx-0.  This allows for more efficient cleanup, since
fewer interrupts will be firing during device operation.  It also
helps with a cleaner CPU affinity for IRQ affinity.

This patch does some refactoring work that I felt was needed after reviewing
the changes recently submitted relating to the replacement of net_stats with
netdev->stats.

This patch essentially creates two different collections of stats.  The
first handles the adapter specific states and is stored in gstring_stats,
and the second is for netdev specific stats and is stored in
gstring_net_stats.

Both vlan and macvlan devices usually don't use a qdisc and immediately

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.

Add support for Wake on LAN (WOL) reception and waking the device up from
this signal via the ethtool interface. Currently we are only supporting
the magic-packet variant of wakeup.

WOL is enabled by specifying a second interrupt resource to the driver
which indicates where the interrupt for the WOL is being signalled. This
then enables the necessary ethtool calls to leave the device in a state
to receive WOL frames when going into suspend.

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.

Before calling gfar_clean_tx_ring() the driver grabs an irqsave
spinlock, and then tries to recycle skbs. But since
skb_recycle_check() returns 0 with IRQs disabled, we'll never
recycle any skbs.

It appears that gfar_clean_tx_ring() and gfar_start_xmit() are
mostly idependent and can work in parallel, except when they
modify num_txbdfree.

So we can drop the lock from most sections and thus fix the skb
recycling.

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:
