The nesting of the per-queue rx_lock and tx_lock in xennet_connect()
is confusing to both humans and lockdep.  The locking is safe because
this is the only place where the locks are nested in this way but
lockdep still warns.

Instead of adding the missing lockdep annotations, refactor the
locking to avoid the confusing nesting.  This is still safe, because
the xenbus connection state changes are all serialized by the xenwatch
thread.

When reconnecting to the backend (after a resume/migration, for example),
a different number of queues may be required (since the guest may have
moved to a different host with different capabilities).  During the
reconnection the old queues are torn down and new ones created.

Introduce xennet_create_queues() and xennet_destroy_queues() that fixes
three bugs during the reconnection.

- The old info->queues was leaked.
- The old queue's napi instances were not deleted.
- The new queue's napi instances were left disabled (which meant no
  packets could be received).

The xennet_destroy_queues() calls is deferred until the reconnection
instead of the disconnection (in xennet_disconnect_backend()) because
napi_disable() might sleep.

In ed1f50c3 ("net: add skb_checksum_setup") we introduced some checksum
functions in core driver. Subsequent change b5cf66cd ("xen-netfront:
use new skb_checksum_setup function") made use of those functions to
replace its own implementation.

However with that change netfront is broken. It sees a lot of checksum
error. That's because its own implementation of checksum function was a
bit hacky (dereferencing skb->data directly) while the new function was
implemented using ip_hdr(). The network header is not reset before skb
is passed to the new function. When the new function tries to do its
job, it's confused and reports error.

The fix is simple, we need to reset network header before passing skb to
checksum function. Netback is not affected as it already does the right
thing.

This patch removes grant transfer releasing code from netfront, and uses
gnttab_end_foreign_access to end grant access since
gnttab_end_foreign_access_ref may fail when the grant entry is
currently used for reading or writing.

* clean up grant transfer code kept from old netfront(2.6.18) which grants
pages for access/map and transfer. But grant transfer is deprecated in current
netfront, so remove corresponding release code for transfer.

* fix resource leak, release grant access (through gnttab_end_foreign_access)
and skb for tx/rx path, use get_page to ensure page is released when grant
access is completed successfully.

Xen-blkfront/xen-tpmfront/xen-pcifront also have similar issue, but patches
for them will be created separately.

There was a bug in xennet_alloc_rx_buffers, when allocating page or
sk_buff failed, and at the same time rx_batch queue not empty,
the rx_refill_timer timer won't be scheduled. If finally the remaining
request buffers in rx ring less than what backend driver expected,
the backend driver would think of rx ring as full and start dropping packets.
In such situation, there is no way for the netfront driver to recover
automatically, so that the device can not work properly.

The patch fixes the problem by always scheduling rx_refill_timer timer when
alloc_page or __netdev_alloc_skb fails, no matter whether rx_batch queue is
empty or not. It ensures that the rx ring request buffers will finally meet
the backend needs.

In order to enable lockdep on seqcount/seqlock structures, we
must explicitly initialize any locks.

The u64_stats_sync structure, uses a seqcount, and thus we need
to introduce a u64_stats_init() function and use it to initialize
the structure.

This unfortunately adds a lot of fairly trivial initialization code
to a number of drivers. But the benefit of ensuring correctness makes
this worth while.

Because these changes are required for lockdep to be enabled, and the
changes are quite trivial, I've not yet split this patch out into 30-some
separate patches, as I figured it would be better to get the various
maintainers thoughts on how to best merge this change along with
the seqcount lockdep enablement.

Feedback would be appreciated!

Due to commit 3683243b ("xen-netfront: use __pskb_pull_tail to ensure
linear area is big enough on RX") xennet_fill_frags() may end up
filling MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1 fragments in a receive skb, and only reduce
the fragment count subsequently via __pskb_pull_tail(). That's a
result of xennet_get_responses() allowing a maximum of one more slot to
be consumed (and intermediately transformed into a fragment) if the
head slot has a size less than or equal to RX_COPY_THRESHOLD.

Hence we need to adjust xennet_fill_frags() to pull earlier if we
reached the maximum fragment count - due to the described behavior of
xennet_get_responses() this guarantees that at least the first fragment
will get completely consumed, and hence the fragment count reduced.

In order to not needlessly call __pskb_pull_tail() twice, make the
original call conditional upon the pull target not having been reached
yet, and defer the newly added one as much as possible (an alternative
would have been to always call the function right before the call to
xennet_fill_frags(), but that would imply more frequent cases of
needing to call it twice).

Netfront driver can be also useful in dom0, eg when all NICs are assigned to
some domU (aka driver domain). Then using netback in domU and netfront in dom0
is the only way to get network access in dom0.

commit b9136d207f08
  xen: initialize platform-pci even if xen_emul_unplug=never

breaks blkfront/netfront by not loading them because of
xen_platform_pci_unplug=0 and it is never set for PV guest.

When xen_emul_unplug=never is specified on kernel command line
reading files from /sys/hypervisor is broken (returns -EBUSY).
It is caused by xen_bus dependency on platform-pci and
platform-pci isn't initialized when xen_emul_unplug=never is
specified.

Fix it by allowing platform-pci to ignore xen_emul_unplug=never,
and do not intialize xen_[blk|net]front instead.
