The only behavior change is that we do not drop packets under any
circumstances. If that is absolutely needed, we could easily add it
back.

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.

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.

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.

This actually fixes a bug added by the RR scheduler changes. The
->bands and ->prio2band parameters were being set outside of the
sch_tree_lock() and thus could result in strange behavior and
inconsistencies.
It might be possible, in the new design (where there will be one qdisc
per device TX queue) to allow similar functionality via a TX hash
algorithm for RR but I really see no reason to export this aspect of
how these multiqueue cards actually implement the scheduling of the
the individual DMA TX rings and the single physical MAC/PHY port.

There is no need for a feature bit for something that
can be tested by simply checking the TX queue count.

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.

in __neigh_event_send, if we have a neighbour entry which is in
NUD_INCOMPLETE state, we enqueue any outbound frames to that neighbour
to the neighbours arp_queue, which is default capped to a length of 3
skbs. If that queue exceeds its set length, it will drop an skb on
the queue to enqueue the newly arrived skb. This results in a drop
for which we have no statistics incremented. This patch adds an
unresolved_discards stat to /proc/net/stat/ndisc_cache to track these
lost frames.

The tpacket_hdr is not 64 bit clean due to use of an unsigned long
and can't be extended because the following struct sockaddr_ll needs
to be at a fixed offset.
Add support for a version 2 tpacket protocol that removes these
limitations.
Userspace can query the header size through a new getsockopt option
and change the protocol version through a setsockopt option. The
changes needed to switch to the new protocol version are:
1. replace struct tpacket_hdr by struct tpacket2_hdr
2. query header len and save
3. set protocol version to 2
- set up ring as usual
4. for getting the sockaddr_ll, use (void *)hdr + TPACKET_ALIGN(hdrlen)
instead of (void *)hdr + TPACKET_ALIGN(sizeof(struct tpacket_hdr))
Steps 2 and 4 can be omitted if the struct sockaddr_ll isn't needed.

Please see the following thread to get some context on this
http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=121564433018903&w=2
Basically the issue is that current multi-cast filtering stuff in
the TUN/TAP driver is seriously broken.
Original patch went in without proper review and ACK. It was broken and
confusing to start with and subsequent patches broke it completely.
To give you an idea of what's broken here are some of the issues:
- Very confusing comments throughout the code that imply that the
character device is a network interface in its own right, and that packets
are passed between the two nics. Which is completely wrong.
- Wrong set of ioctls is used for setting up filters. They look like
shortcuts for manipulating state of the tun/tap network interface but
in reality manipulate the state of the TX filter.
- ioctls that were originally used for setting address of the the TX filter
got "fixed" and now set the address of the network interface itself. Which
made filter totaly useless.
- Filtering is done too late. Instead of filtering early on, to avoid
unnecessary wakeups, filtering is done in the read() call.
The list goes on and on :)
So the patch cleans all that up. It introduces simple and clean interface for
setting up TX filters (TUNSETTXFILTER + tun_filter spec) and does filtering
before enqueuing the packets.
TX filtering is useful in the scenarios where TAP is part of a bridge, in
which case it gets all broadcast, multicast and potentially other packets when
the bridge is learning. So for example Ethernet tunnelling app may want to
setup TX filters to avoid tunnelling multicast traffic. QEMU and other
hypervisors can push RX filtering that is currently done in the guest into the
host context therefore saving wakeups and unnecessary data transfer.

This patch makes mac80211 assign proper sequence numbers to
QoS-data frames. It also removes the old sequence number code
because we noticed that only the driver or hardware can assign
sequence numbers to non-QoS-data and especially management
frames in a race-free manner because beacons aren't passed
through mac80211's TX path.
This patch also adds temporary code to the rt2x00 drivers to
not break them completely, that code will have to be reworked
for proper sequence numbers on beacons.
It also moves sequence number assignment down in the TX path
so no sequence numbers are assigned to frames that are dropped.
