This patch adds support for legacy Bosch CC770 and Intel AN82527 CAN
controllers on the ISA or PC-104 bus. The I/O port or memory address
and the IRQ number must be specified via module parameters:

  insmod cc770_isa.ko port=0x310,0x380 irq=7,11

for ISA devices using I/O ports or:

  insmod cc770_isa.ko mem=0xd1000,0xd1000 irq=7,11

for memory mapped ISA devices.

Indirect access via address and data port is supported as well:

  insmod cc770_isa.ko port=0x310,0x380 indirect=1 irq=7,11

Furthermore, the following mode parameter can be defined:

  clk: External oscillator clock frequency (default=16000000 [16 MHz])
  cir: CPU interface register (default=0x40 [CPU_DSC])
  ocr, Bus configuration register (default=0x00)
  cor, Clockout register (default=0x00)

Note: for clk, cir, bcr and cor, the first argument re-defines the
default for all other devices, e.g.:

  insmod cc770_isa.ko mem=0xd1000,0xd1000 irq=7,11 clk=24000000

is equivalent to

  insmod cc770_isa.ko mem=0xd1000,0xd1000 irq=7,11 clk=24000000,24000000

Add some basic regulator support for the power pins, as needed
by the ST-Ericsson Snowball platform that powers up the SMSC911
chip using an external regulator.

Platforms that use regulators and the smsc911x and have no defined
regulator for the smsc911x and claim complete regulator
constraints with no dummy regulators will need to provide it, for
example using a fixed voltage regulator. It appears that this may
affect (apart from Ux500 Snowball) possibly these archs/machines
that from some grep:s appear to define both CONFIG_SMSC911X and
CONFIG_REGULATOR:

tcp_sendmsg() uses select_size() helper to choose skb head size when a
new skb must be allocated.

If GSO is enabled for the socket, current strategy is to force all
payload data to be outside of headroom, in PAGE fragments.

This strategy is not welcome for small packets, wasting memory.

Experiments show that best results are obtained when using 2048 bytes
for skb head (This includes the skb overhead and various headers)

This patch provides better len/truesize ratios for packets sent to
loopback device, and reduce memory needs for in-flight loopback packets,
particularly on arches with big pages.

If a sender sends many 1-byte packets to an unresponsive application,
receiver rmem_alloc will grow faster and will stop queuing these packets
sooner, or will collapse its receive queue to free excess memory.

netperf -t TCP_RR results are improved by ~4 %, and many workloads are
improved as well (tbench, mysql...)

Thanks David !

Here is a small patch to use one 64bit load/store on x86_64 instead of
two 32bit load/stores.

[PATCH net-next] flow_dissector: use a 64bit load/store

gcc compiler is smart enough to use a single load/store if we
memcpy(dptr, sptr, 8) on x86_64, regardless of
CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE

In IP header, daddr immediately follows saddr, this wont change in the
future. We only need to make sure our flow_keys (src,dst) fields wont
break the rule.

Networking stack support for byte queue limits, uses dynamic queue

and a dql structure has been added to netdev_queue structure for this
purpose.

Configuration of bql is in the tx-<n> sysfs directory for the queue
under the byte_queue_limits directory.  Configuration includes:
limit_min, bql minimum limit
limit_max, bql maximum limit
hold_time, bql slack hold time

Also under the directory are:

Implementation of dynamic queue limits (dql).  This is a libary which
allows a queue limit to be dynamically managed.  The goal of dql is
to set the queue limit, number of objects to the queue, to be minimized
without allowing the queue to be starved.

dql would be used with a queue which has these properties:

1) Objects are queued up to some limit which can be expressed as a
   count of objects.
2) Periodically a completion process executes which retires consumed
   objects.
3) Starvation occurs when limit has been reached, all queued data has
   actually been consumed but completion processing has not yet run,
   so queuing new data is blocked.
4) Minimizing the amount of queued data is desirable.

A canonical example of such a queue would be a NIC HW transmit queue.

The queue limit is dynamic, it will increase or decrease over time
depending on the workload.  The queue limit is recalculated each time
completion processing is done.  Increases occur when the queue is
starved and can exponentially increase over successive intervals.
Decreases occur when more data is being maintained in the queue than
needed to prevent starvation.  The number of extra objects, or "slack",
is measured over successive intervals, and to avoid hysteresis the
limit is only reduced by the miminum slack seen over a configurable
time period.

dql API provides routines to manage the queue:
- dql_init is called to intialize the dql structure
- dql_reset is called to reset dynamic values
- dql_queued called when objects are being enqueued
- dql_avail returns availability in the queue
- dql_completed is called when objects have be consumed in the queue

Configuration consists of:
- max_limit, maximum limit
- min_limit, minimum limit
- slack_hold_time, time to measure instances of slack before reducing
  queue limit

Since 2005 (c1b4a7e6)
tcp_tso_should_defer has been using tcp_max_burst() as a target limit
for deciding how large to make outgoing TSO packets when not using
sysctl_tcp_tso_win_divisor. But since 2008
(dd9e0dda) tcp_max_burst() returns the
reordering degree. We should not have tcp_tso_should_defer attempt to
build larger segments just because there is more reordering. This
commit splits the notion of deferral size used in TSO from the notion
of burst size used in cwnd moderation, and returns the TSO deferral
limit to its original value.
