by reenabling IRQ before calling ->poll, but it seems more
problems are introduced after that patch:

http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/stuff/IMG_20120824_122054.jpg
http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=134563282530588&w=2

So it is safe to fix be2net driver code directly.

This patch reverts the offending commit and fixes be_poll() by
avoid disabling BH there, this is okay because be_poll()
can be called either by poll_napi() which already disables
IRQ, or by net_rx_action() which already disables BH.

1. Disable IRQ's before calling netpoll_send_skb_on_dev().

2. All the callees of netpoll_send_skb_on_dev() should use
   rcu_dereference_bh() to dereference ->npinfo.

Bogdan Hamciuc diagnosed and fixed following bug in netpoll_send_udp() :

"skb->len += len;" instead of "skb_put(skb, len);"

Meaning that _if_ a network driver needs to call skb_realloc_headroom(),
only packet headers would be copied, leaving garbage in the payload.

However the skb_realloc_headroom() must be avoided as much as possible
since it requires memory and netpoll tries hard to work even if memory
is exhausted (using a pool of preallocated skbs)

It appears netpoll_send_udp() reserved 16 bytes for the ethernet header,
which happens to work for typicall drivers but not all.

Right thing is to use LL_RESERVED_SPACE(dev)
(And also add dev->needed_tailroom of tailroom)

This patch combines both fixes.

Many thanks to Bogdan for raising this issue.

net: Remove all uses of LL_ALLOCATED_SPACE

The macro LL_ALLOCATED_SPACE was ill-conceived.  It applies the
alignment to the sum of needed_headroom and needed_tailroom.  As
the amount that is then reserved for head room is needed_headroom
with alignment, this means that the tail room left may be too small.

This patch replaces all uses of LL_ALLOCATED_SPACE with the macro
LL_RESERVED_SPACE and direct reference to needed_tailroom.

This also fixes the problem with needed_headroom changing between
allocating the skb and reserving the head room.

In an erlier patch I modified napi_poll so that devices with IFF_MASTER polled
the per_cpu list instead of the device list for napi.  I did this because the
bonding driver has no napi instances to poll, it instead expects to check the
slave devices napi instances, which napi_poll was unaware of.  Looking at this
more closely however, I now see this isn't strictly needed.  As the bond driver
poll_controller calls the slaves poll_controller via netpoll_poll_dev, which
recursively calls poll_napi on each slave, allowing those napi instances to get
serviced.  The earlier patch isn't at all harmfull, its just not needed, so lets
revert it to make the code cleaner.  Sorry for the noise,
