This patch changes the network device internal API to move adminstrative
operations out of the network device structure and into a separate structure.
This patch involves some hackery to maintain compatablity between the
new and old model, so all 300+ drivers don't have to be changed at once.
For drivers that aren't converted yet, the netdevice_ops virt function list
still resides in the net_device structure. For old protocols, the new
net_device_ops are copied out to the old net_device pointers.
After the transistion is completed the nag message can be changed to
an WARN_ON, and the compatiablity code can be made configurable.
Some function pointers aren't moved:
* destructor can't be in net_device_ops because
it may need to be referenced after the module is unloaded.
* neighbor setup is manipulated in a couple of places that need special
consideration
* hard_start_xmit is in the fast path for transmit.

We run into system boot failure with kernel 2.6.28-rc. We found it on a
couple of machines, including T61 notebook, nehalem machine, and another
HPC NX6325 notebook. All the machines use FedoraCore 8 or FedoraCore 9.
With kernel prior to 2.6.28-rc, system boot doesn't fail.
I debug it and locate the root cause. Pls. see
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11899

As a matter of fact, there are 2 bugs.
1)root=/dev/sda1, system boot randomly fails. Mostly, boot for 5 times
and fails once. nash has a bug. Some of its functions misuse return
value 0. Sometimes, 0 means timeout and no uevent available. Sometimes,
0 means nash gets an uevent, but the uevent isn't block-related (for
exmaple, usb). If by coincidence, kernel tells nash that uevents are
available, but kernel also set timeout, nash might stops collecting
other uevents in queue if current uevent isn't block-related. I work
out a patch for nash to fix it.
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=18858
2) root=LABEL=/, system always can't boot. initrd init reports
switchroot fails. Here is an executation branch of nash when booting:
(1) nash read /sys/block/sda/dev; Assume major is 8 (on my desktop)
(2) nash query /proc/devices with the major number; It found line
"8 sd";
(3) nash use 'sd' to search its own probe table to find device (DISK)
type for the device and add it to its own list;
(4) Later on, it probes all devices in its list to get filesystem
labels; scsi register "8 sd" always.
When major is 259, nash fails to find the device(DISK) type. I enables
CONFIG_DEBUG_BLOCK_EXT_DEVT=y when compiling kernel, so 259 is picked up
for device /dev/sda1, which causes nash to fail to find device (DISK)
type.
To fixing issue 2), I create a patch for nash and another patch for
kernel.

prevent cifs_writepages() from skipping unwritten pages
Fixes a data corruption under heavy stress in which pages could be left
dirty after all open instances of a inode have been closed.
In order to write contiguous pages whenever possible, cifs_writepages()
asks pagevec_lookup_tag() for more pages than it may write at one time.
Normally, it then resets index just past the last page written before calling
pagevec_lookup_tag() again.
If cifs_writepages() can't write the first page returned, it wasn't resetting
index, and the next call to pagevec_lookup_tag() resulted in skipping all of
the pages it previously returned, even though cifs_writepages() did nothing
with them. This can result in data loss when the file descriptor is about
to be closed.
This patch ensures that index gets set back to the next returned page so
that none get skipped.

This patch deprecates the Ack Ratio sysctl, since
* Ack Ratio is entirely ignored by CCID-3 and CCID-4,
* Ack Ratio currently doesn't work in CCID-2 (i.e. is always set to 1);
* even if it would work in CCID-2, there is no point for a user to change it:
- Ack Ratio is constrained by cwnd (RFC 4341, 6.1.2),
- if Ack Ratio > cwnd, the system resorts to spurious RTO timeouts
(since waiting for Acks which will never arrive in this window),
- cwnd is not a user-configurable value.
The only reasonable place for Ack Ratio is to print it for debugging. It is
planned to do this later on, as part of e.g. dccp_probe.
With this patch Ack Ratio is now under full control of feature negotiation:
* Ack Ratio is resolved as a dependency of the selected CCID;
* if the chosen CCID supports it (i.e. CCID == CCID-2), Ack Ratio is set to
the default of 2, following RFC 4340, 11.3 - "New connections start with Ack
Ratio 2 for both endpoints";

If segmentation offload is enabled by the host, we currently allocate
maximum sized packet buffers and pass them to the host. This uses up
20 ring entries, allowing us to supply only 20 packet buffers to the
host with a 256 entry ring. This is a huge overhead when receiving
small packets, and is most keenly felt when receiving MTU sized
packets from off-host.
The VIRTIO_NET_F_MRG_RXBUF feature flag is set by hosts which support
using receive buffers which are smaller than the maximum packet size.
In order to transfer large packets to the guest, the host merges
together multiple receive buffers to form a larger logical buffer.
The number of merged buffers is returned to the guest via a field in
the virtio_net_hdr.
Make use of this support by supplying single page receive buffers to
the host. On receive, we extract the virtio_net_hdr, copy 128 bytes of
the payload to the skb's linear data buffer and adjust the fragment
offset to point to the remaining data. This ensures proper alignment
and allows us to not use any paged data for small packets. If the
payload occupies multiple pages, we simply append those pages as
fragments and free the associated skbs.
This scheme allows us to be efficient in our use of ring entries
while still supporting large packets. Benchmarking using netperf from
an external machine to a guest over a 10Gb/s network shows a 100%
improvement from ~1Gb/s to ~2Gb/s. With a local host->guest benchmark
with GSO disabled on the host side, throughput was seen to increase
from 700Mb/s to 1.7Gb/s.

Also leads to the strange situation that if you e.g. disable tx-csum,
then tso doesn't get disabled.

virtio_net: Recycle some more rx buffer pages
Each time we re-fill the recv queue with buffers, we allocate
one too many skbs and free it again when adding fails. We should
recycle the pages allocated in this case.
A previous version of this patch made trim_pages() trim trailing
unused pages from skbs with some paged data, but this actually
caused a barely measurable slowdown.

net: make sure struct dst_entry refcount is aligned on 64 bytes
As found in the past (commit f1dd9c379cac7d5a76259e7dffcd5f8edc697d17
[NET]: Fix tbench regression in 2.6.25-rc1), it is really
important that struct dst_entry refcount is aligned on a cache line.
We cannot use __atribute((aligned)), so manually pad the structure
for 32 and 64 bit arches.
for 32bit : offsetof(truct dst_entry, __refcnt) is 0x80
for 64bit : offsetof(truct dst_entry, __refcnt) is 0xc0
As it is not possible to guess at compile time cache line size,
we use a generic value of 64 bytes, that satisfies many current arches.
(Using 128 bytes alignment on 64bit arches would waste 64 bytes)
Add a BUILD_BUG_ON to catch future updates to "struct dst_entry" dont
break this alignment.
"tbench 8" is 4.4 % faster on a dual quad core (HP BL460c G1), Intel E5450 @3.00GHz

net: Convert TCP & DCCP hash tables to use RCU / hlist_nulls
RCU was added to UDP lookups, using a fast infrastructure :
- sockets kmem_cache use SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU and dont pay the
price of call_rcu() at freeing time.
- hlist_nulls permits to use few memory barriers.
This patch uses same infrastructure for TCP/DCCP established
and timewait sockets.
Thanks to SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, no slowdown for applications
using short lived TCP connections. A followup patch, converting
rwlocks to spinlocks will even speedup this case.
__inet_lookup_established() is pretty fast now we dont have to
dirty a contended cache line (read_lock/read_unlock)
Only established and timewait hashtable are converted to RCU
(bind table and listen table are still using traditional locking)

rcu: Introduce hlist_nulls variant of hlist
hlist uses NULL value to finish a chain.
hlist_nulls variant use the low order bit set to 1 to signal an end-of-list marker.
This allows to store many different end markers, so that some RCU lockless
algos (used in TCP/UDP stack for example) can save some memory barriers in
fast paths.
Two new files are added :
include/linux/list_nulls.h
- mimics hlist part of include/linux/list.h, derived to hlist_nulls variant
include/linux/rculist_nulls.h
- mimics hlist part of include/linux/rculist.h, derived to hlist_nulls variant
Only four helpers are declared for the moment :
hlist_nulls_del_init_rcu(), hlist_nulls_del_rcu(),
hlist_nulls_add_head_rcu() and hlist_nulls_for_each_entry_rcu()
prefetches() were removed, since an end of list is not anymore NULL value.
prefetches() could trigger useless (and possibly dangerous) memory transactions.

struct sock *sk, *result;

In case UDP traffic is redirected to a local UDP socket,
the originally addressed destination address/port
cannot be recovered with the in-kernel tproxy.
This patch adds an IP_RECVORIGDSTADDR sockopt that enables
a IP_ORIGDSTADDR ancillary message in recvmsg(). This
ancillary message contains the original destination address/port
of the packet being received.

The attached patch makes it work much better for me. The patch
will cause the code to NOT create a stale neighbor entry if we
are not going to respond to the ARP request. The old code
*would* create a stale entry even if we are not going to respond.
