It is not safe to use a network device destructor that is a function in
the module, since it can be called after module is unloaded if sysfs
handle is open.
When eventually using netlink, the device cleanup code needs to be done
via uninit function.

One point of contention in high network loads is the dst_release() performed
when a transmited skb is freed. This is because NIC tx completion calls
dev_kree_skb() long after original call to dev_queue_xmit(skb).
CPU cache is cold and the atomic op in dst_release() stalls. On SMP, this is
quite visible if one CPU is 100% handling softirqs for a network device,
since dst_clone() is done by other cpus, involving cache line ping pongs.
It seems right place to release dst is in dev_hard_start_xmit(), for most
devices but ones that are virtual, and some exceptions.
David Miller suggested to define a new device flag, set in alloc_netdev_mq()
(so that most devices set it at init time), and carefuly unset in devices
which dont want a NULL skb->dst in their ndo_start_xmit().
List of devices that must clear this flag is :
- loopback device, because it calls netif_rx() and quoting Patrick :
"ip_route_input() doesn't accept loopback addresses, so loopback packets
already need to have a dst_entry attached."
- appletalk/ipddp.c : needs skb->dst in its xmit function
- And all devices that call again dev_queue_xmit() from their xmit function
(as some classifiers need skb->dst) : bonding, vlan, macvlan, eql, ifb, hdlc_fr

struct net_device trans_start field is a hot spot on SMP and high performance
devices, particularly multi queues ones, because every transmitter dirties
it. Is main use is tx watchdog and bonding alive checks.
But as most devices dont use NETIF_F_LLTX, we have to lock
a netdev_queue before calling their ndo_start_xmit(). So it makes
sense to move trans_start from net_device to netdev_queue. Its update
will occur on a already present (and in exclusive state) cache line, for
free.
We can do this transition smoothly. An old driver continue to
update dev->trans_start, while an updated one updates txq->trans_start.
Further patches could also put tx_bytes/tx_packets counters in
netdev_queue to avoid dirtying dev->stats (vlan device comes to mind)

Pointed out by Sean E. Millichamp.
Quote from Documentation/networking/bonding.txt:
"Note that when a bonding interface has no active links, the
driver will immediately reuse the first link that goes up, even if the
updelay parameter has been specified (the updelay is ignored in this
case). If there are slave interfaces waiting for the updelay timeout
to expire, the interface that first went into that state will be
immediately reused. This reduces down time of the network if the
value of updelay has been overestimated, and since this occurs only in
cases with no connectivity, there is no additional penalty for
ignoring the updelay."
This patch actually changes the behaviour in this way.

Fix a zero address hole bug in the bonding arp_ip_target list
that was causing the bond to ignore ARP replies (bugz 13006).
Instead of just setting the array entry to zero, we now
copy any additional entries down one slot, putting the
zero entry at the end. With this change we can now have
all the loops that walk the array stop when they hit a zero
since there will be no addresses after it.
Changes are based in part on code fragment provided in kernel:

Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy
as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL
->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting
in module refcount underflow.
We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops
and ->data.
But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment)
and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when
switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give
some thoughts.
->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for
protection.
rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm.
And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular.
We definitely don't want such modular code.
Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller.
So, let's nuke it.
Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight.

I've hit an issue on my system when I've been using RealTek RTL8139D cards in
bonding interface in mode balancing-alb. When I enslave a card, the current
active slave (bond->curr_active_slave) is not set and the link is therefore
not functional.
----

The thing that gets it right is when I unplug the cable and then I put it back
into the NIC. Then the current active slave is set to eth1 and link is working
just fine. Here is dmesg log with bonding DEBUG messages turned on:

The current active slave is set by calling bond_select_active_slave() function
from bond_miimon_commit() function when the slave (eth1) link goes to state up.
I also tested this on other machine with Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5708
1000Base-T NIC and there all works fine. The thing is that this adapter is down
and goes up after few seconds after it is enslaved.
This patch calls bond_select_active_slave() in bond_enslave() function for modes
alb and tlb and makes sure that the current active slave is set up properly even
when the slave state is already up. Tested on both systems, works fine.
Notice: The same problem can maybe also occrur in mode 8023AD but I'm unable to
test that.

bonding: refactor mii monitor
The un-refactored code checked the link speed and duplex of
every slave on every pass; the refactored code did not do so.
The 802.3ad and balance-alb/tlb modes utilize the speed and
duplex information, and require it to be kept up to date. This patch
adds a notifier check to perform the appropriate updating when the slave
device speed changes.

We have some reasons to kill netdev->priv:
1. netdev->priv is equal to netdev_priv().
2. netdev_priv() wraps the calculation of netdev->priv's offset, obviously
netdev_priv() is more flexible than netdev->priv.
But we cann't kill netdev->priv, because so many drivers reference to it
directly.
This patch is a safe convert for netdev->priv to netdev_priv(netdev).
Since all of the netdev->priv is only for read.
But it is too big to be sent in one mail.

This patch implements alternative aggregator selection policies
for 802.3ad. The existing policy, now termed "stable," selects the active
aggregator by greatest bandwidth, and only reselects a new aggregator
if the active aggregator is entirely disabled (no more ports or all ports
down).
This patch adds two new policies: bandwidth and count, selecting
the active aggregator by total bandwidth (like the stable policy) or by
the number of ports in the aggregator, respectively. These two policies
also differ from the stable policy in that they will reselect the active
aggregator when availability-related changes occur in the bond (e.g.,
link state change).
This permits "gang failover" within 802.3ad, allowing redundant
aggregators along parallel paths to always maintain the "best" aggregator
as the active aggregator (rather than having to wait for the active to
entirely fail).
This patch also updates the driver version to 3.5.0.

This patch adds better IPv6 failover support for bonding devices,
especially when in active-backup mode and there are only IPv6 addresses
configured, as reported by Alex Sidorenko.
- Creates a new file, net/drivers/bonding/bond_ipv6.c, for the
IPv6-specific routines. Both regular bonds and VLANs over bonds
are supported.
- Adds a new tunable, num_unsol_na, to limit the number of unsolicited
IPv6 Neighbor Advertisements that are sent on a failover event.
Default is 1.
- Creates two new IPv6 neighbor discovery functions:
ndisc_build_skb()
ndisc_send_skb()
These were required to support VLANs since we have to be able to
add the VLAN id to the skb since ndisc_send_na() and friends
shouldn't be asked to do this. These two routines are basically
__ndisc_send() split into two pieces, in a slightly different order.
- Updates Documentation/networking/bonding.txt and bumps the rev of bond
support to 3.4.0.
On failover, this new code will generate one packet:
- An unsolicited IPv6 Neighbor Advertisement, which helps the switch
learn that the address has moved to the new slave.
Testing has shown that sending just the NA results in pretty good
behavior when in active-back mode, I saw no lost ping packets for example.

net: Enable TSO if supported by at least one device
didn't do what was intended because the netdev_compute_features
function was designed for conjunctions. So what happened was that
it would simply take the TSO status of the last constituent device.
This patch extends it to support both conjunctions and disjunctions
under the new name of netdev_increment_features.
It also adds a new function netdev_fix_features which does the
sanity checking that usually occurs upon registration. This ensures
that the computation doesn't result in an illegal combination
since this checking is absent when the change is initiated via
ethtool.
The two users of netdev_compute_features have been converted.

Refactor mii monitor. As with the previous ARP monitor refactor,
the motivation for this is to handle locking rationally (in this case,
removing conditional locking) and generally clean up the code.
This patch breaks up the monolithic mii monitor into two phases:
an inspection phase, followed by an optional commit phase. The commit phase
is the only portion that requires RTNL or makes changes to state, and is
only called when inspection finds something to change.
