Devices or device layers can set this to control the queue selection performed by dev_pick_tx(). This function runs under RCU protection, which allows overriding functions to have some way of synchronizing with things like dynamic ->real_num_tx_queues adjustments. This makes the spinlock prefetch in dev_queue_xmit() a little bit less effective, but that's the price right now for correctness. Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The private area of a netdev is now at a fixed offset once more. Unfortunately, some assumptions that netdev_priv() == netdev->priv crept back into the tree. In particular this happened in the loopback driver. Make it use netdev->ml_priv. Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This effectively "flips the switch" by making the core networking and multiqueue-aware drivers use the new TX multiqueue structures. Non-multiqueue drivers need no changes. The interfaces they use such as netif_stop_queue() degenerate into an operation on TX queue zero. So everything "just works" for them. Code that really wants to do "X" to all TX queues now invokes a routine that does so, such as netif_tx_wake_all_queues(), netif_tx_stop_all_queues(), etc. pktgen and netpoll required a little bit more surgery than the others. In particular the pktgen changes, whilst functional, could be largely improved. The initial check in pktgen_xmit() will sometimes check the wrong queue, which is mostly harmless. The thing to do is probably to invoke fill_packet() earlier. The bulk of the netpoll changes is to make the code operate solely on the TX queue indicated by by the SKB queue mapping. Setting of the SKB queue mapping is entirely confined inside of net/core/dev.c:dev_pick_tx(). If we end up needing any kind of special semantics (drops, for example) it will be implemented here. Finally, we now have a "real_num_tx_queues" which is where the driver indicates how many TX queues are actually active. With IGB changes from Jeff Kirsher. Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

alloc_netdev_mq() now allocates an array of netdev_queue structures for TX, based upon the queue_count argument. Furthermore, all accesses to the TX queues are now vectored through the netdev_get_tx_queue() and netdev_for_each_tx_queue() interfaces. This makes it easy to grep the tree for all things that want to get to a TX queue of a net device. Problem spots which are not really multiqueue aware yet, and only work with one queue, can easily be spotted by grepping for all netdev_get_tx_queue() calls that pass in a zero index.

Add netif_addr_{lock,unlock}{,_bh}() helpers. Use them to protect operations that operate on or read the network device unicast and multicast address lists. Also use them in cases where the code simply wants to block calls into the driver's ->set_rx_mode() and ->set_multicast_list() methods. Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

When VLAN header stripping is used, packets currently bypass packet sockets (and other network taps) completely. For locally existing VLANs, they appear directly on the VLAN device, for unknown VLANs they are silently dropped. Add a new function netif_nit_deliver() to deliver incoming packets to all network interface taps and use it in __vlan_hwaccel_rx() to make VLAN packets visible on the underlying device.

Adds netif_napi_del function which is used to remove the napi struct from the netdev napi_list in cases where CONFIG_NETPOLL was enabled. The motivation for adding this is to handle the case in which the number of queues on a device changes due to a configuration change. Previously the napi structs for each queue would be left in the list until the netdev was freed.

A netdev_queue is an entity managed by a qdisc. Currently there is one RX and one TX queue, and a netdev_queue merely contains a backpointer to the net_device. The Qdisc struct is augmented with a netdev_queue pointer as well. Eventually the 'dev' Qdisc member will go away and we will have the resulting hierarchy: net_device --> netdev_queue --> Qdisc Also, qdisc_alloc() and qdisc_create_dflt() now take a netdev_queue pointer argument.

Max of promiscuity and allmulti plus positive @inc can cause overflow. Fox example: when allmulti=0xFFFFFFFF, any caller give dev_set_allmulti() a positive @inc will cause allmulti be off. This is not what we want, though it's rare case. The fix is that only negative @inc will cause allmulti or promiscuity be off and when any caller makes the counters touch the roof, we return error. Change of v2: Change void function dev_set_promiscuity/allmulti to return int. So callers can get the overflow error. Caller's fix will be done later. Change of v3: 1. Since we return error to caller, we don't need to print KERN_ERROR, KERN_WARNING is enough. 2. In dev_set_promiscuity(), if __dev_set_promiscuity() failed, we return at once.

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. Based on a patch submitted by Phil Oester <kernel@linuxaces.com>.

Add NETDEV_BONDING_FAILOVER event to be used in a successive patch by bonding to announce fail-over for the active-backup mode through the 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) always be aligned with the IP stack, in the sense that they use the same ports/links as the stack does. More usages can be done to allow monitoring tools based on netlink events being aware to bonding fail-over.

Wireless networking, particularly with MESH enabled, has quite strong requirements for link-layer header space. Based upon some numbers and descriptions from Johannes Berg we use 96 (same as AX25) for plain wireless, and with mesh enabled we use 128. In the process, simplify the cpp conditional logic here by ordering the cases by those needing the most space down to those needing the least case. Signed-off-by: NDavid S.
