Permit bonding to function rationally if max_bonds is set to
zero.  This will load the module, but create no master devices (which can
be created via sysfs).

	Requires some change to bond_create_sysfs; currently, the
netdev sysfs directory is determined from the first bonding device created,
but this is no longer possible.  Instead, an interface from net/core is
created to create and destroy files in net_class.

netdev events notifier chain mechanism. Such an event can be of use for the
RDMA CM (communication manager) to let native RDMA ULPs (eg NFS-RDMA, iSER)

Selected device feature bits can be propagated to VLAN devices, so we
can make use of TX checksum offload and TSO on VLAN-tagged packets.
However, if the physical device does not do VLAN tag insertion or
generic checksum offload then the test for TX checksum offload in
dev_queue_xmit() will see a protocol of htons(ETH_P_8021Q) and yield
false.

This splits the checksum offload test into two functions:

- can_checksum_protocol() tests a given protocol against a feature bitmask

- dev_can_checksum() first tests the skb protocol against the device
  features; if that fails and the protocol is htons(ETH_P_8021Q) then
  it tests the encapsulated protocol against the effective device
  features for VLANs

skb_splice_bits temporary drops the socket lock while iterating over

happens with sendfile. This, however, opens a window of opportunity
for tcp_collapse() to aggregate skbs and thus potentially free the

This patch fixes the problem by (re-)getting the same "logical skb"

The neighbor table time of last use information is returned in the
incorrect unit. Kernel to user space ABI's need to use USER_HZ (or
milliseconds), otherwise the application has to try and discover the
real system HZ value which is problematic.  Linux has standardized on
keeping USER_HZ consistent (100hz) even when kernel is running
internally at some other value.

This change is small, but it breaks the ABI for older version of
iproute2 utilities.  But these utilities are already broken since they
are looking at the psched_hz values which are completely different. So
let's just go ahead and fix both kernel and user space. Older
utilities will just print wrong values.

When a net namespace is destroyed, some devices (those, not killed
on ns stop explicitly) are moved back to init_net.

The problem, is that this net_ns change has one point of failure -
the __dev_alloc_name() may be called if a name collision occurs (and
this is easy to trigger). This allocator performs a likely-to-fail
GFP_ATOMIC allocation to find a suitable number. Other possible 
conditions that may cause error (for device being ns local or not
registered) are always false in this case.

So, when this call fails, the device is unregistered. But this is
*not* the right thing to do, since after this the device may be
released (and kfree-ed) improperly. E. g. bridges require more
actions (sysfs update, timer disarming, etc.), some other devices 
want to remove their private areas from lists, etc.

I. e. arbitrary use-after-free cases may occur.

The proposed fix is the following: since the only reason for the
dev_change_net_namespace to fail is the name generation, we may
give it a unique fall-back name w/o %d-s in it - the dev<ifindex>
one, since ifindexes are still unique.

So make this change, raise the failure-case printk loglevel to 
EMERG and replace the unregister_netdevice call with BUG().

When a netdev is moved across namespaces with the
'dev_change_net_namespace' function, the 'device_rename' function is
used to fixup kobject and refresh the sysfs tree. The device_rename
function will call kobject_rename and this one will check if there is
an object with the same name and this is the case because we are
renaming the object with the same name.

The use of 'device_rename' seems for me wrong because we usually don't
rename it but just move it across namespaces. As we just want to do a
mini "netdev_[un]register", IMO the functions
'netdev_[un]register_kobject' should be used instead, like an usual
network device [un]registering.

This patch replace device_rename by netdev_unregister_kobject,
followed by netdev_register_kobject.

The netdev_register_kobject will call device_initialize and will raise
a warning indicating the device was already initialized. In order to
fix that, I split the device initialization into a separate function
and use it together with 'netdev_register_kobject' into
register_netdevice. So we can safely call 'netdev_register_kobject' in
'dev_change_net_namespace'.

This fix will allow to properly use the sysfs per namespace which is
coming from -mm tree.

This patch effectively reverts commit d0498d9a
aka "[NET]: Do not allocate unneeded memory for dev->priv alignment."
It was found to be buggy because of final unconditional += NETDEV_ALIGN_CONST
removal.

For example, for sizeof(struct net_device) being 2048 bytes, "alloc_size"
was also 2048 bytes, but allocator with debugging options turned on started
giving out !32-byte aligned memory resulting in redzones overwrites.

Patch does small optimization in ->priv'less case: bumping size to next
32-byte boundary was always done to ensure ->priv will also be aligned.
But, no ->priv, no need to do that.

The alloc_netdev_mq() tries to produce 32-bytes alignment for both
the net_device itself and its private data. The second alignment is
achieved by adding the NETDEV_ALIGN_CONST to the whole size of
the memory to be allocated.

However, for those devices that do not need the private area, this
addition just makes the net_device weight 1024 + 32 = 1068 bytes,
i.e. consume twice as much memory.

Since loopback device is such (sizeof_priv == 0 for it), and each
net namespace creates one, this can save a noticeable amount of
memory for kernel with net namespaces turned on.

After this set the lo device is actually allocated from a size-1024
kmem cache on i386 box even with NETPOLL and WIRELESS_EXT turned on.

Add the elastic array of void * pointer to the struct net.
The access rules are simple:

 1. register the ops with register_pernet_gen_device to get
    the id of your private pointer
 2. call net_assign_generic() to put the private data on the
    struct net (most preferably this should be done in the
    ->init callback of the ops registered)
 3. do not store any private reference on the net_generic array;
 4. do not change this pointer while the net is alive;
 5. use the net_generic() to get the pointer.

When adding a new pointer, I copy the old array, replace it
with a new one and schedule the old for kfree after an RCU
grace period.

Since the net_generic explores the net->gen array inside rcu
read section and once set the net->gen->ptr[x] pointer never 
changes, this grants us a safe access to generic pointers.

Quoting Paul: "... RCU is protecting -only- the net_generic 
structure that net_generic() is traversing, and the [pointer]
returned by net_generic() is protected by a reference counter 
in the upper-level struct net."
