Thanks guys, here an updated version then, before linkwatch surgery ?
In this version, I force the event to be sent synchronously.
[PATCH net-next-2.6] linkwatch: linkwatch_forget_dev() to speedup device dismantle

One problem of current schem in vlan dismantle phase is the
holding of device done by following chain :
vlan_dev_stop() ->
netif_carrier_off(dev) ->
linkwatch_fire_event(dev) ->
dev_hold() ...
And __linkwatch_run_queue() runs up to one second later...
A generic fix to this problem is to add a linkwatch_forget_dev() method
to unlink the device from the list of watched devices.
dev->link_watch_next becomes dev->link_watch_list (and use a bit more memory),
to be able to unlink device in O(1).
After patch :
time ip link del eth3.103 ; time ip link del eth3.104 ; time ip link del eth3.105

This new event is called once for each unique net namespace in batched
unregister operations (with the argument set to a random device from
that namespace) and once per device in non-batched unregister
operations.
It allows us to factorize some device unregister work such as clearing the
routing cache.

With multi queue devices, its possible that several cpus call
macvlan RX routines simultaneously for the same macvlan device.
We update RX stats counter without any locking, so we can
get slightly wrong counters.
One possible fix is to use percpu counters, to get precise
accounting and also get guarantee of no cache line ping pongs
between cpus.
Note: this adds 16 bytes (32 bytes on 64bit arches) of percpu
data per macvlan device.

This patch removes config dependency on x86 to build vmxnet3 driver. Thus
the driver can be built on big endian architectures now. Although vmxnet3
is not supported on VMs other than x86 architecture, all this code goes in
to ensure correctness. If the code is not dependent on x86, it should not
assume little endian architecture in any of its operations.

PPP does not correctly call pskb_may_pull() on all necessary receive paths
before reading the PPP protocol, thus causing PPP to report seemingly
random 'unsupported protocols' and eventually trigger BUG_ON(skb->len <
skb->data_len) in skb_pull_rcsum() when receiving multilink protocol in
non-linear skbs.
ppp_receive_nonmp_frame() does not call pskb_may_pull() before reading the
protocol number. For the non-mp receive path this is not a problem, as
this check is done in ppp_receive_frame(). For the mp receive path,
ppp_mp_reconstruct() usually copies the data into a new linear skb.
However, in the case where the frame is made up of a single mp fragment,
the mp header is pulled and the existing skb used. This skb was then
passed to ppp_receive_nonmp_frame() without checking if the encapsulated
protocol header could safely be read.

Please be gentle, I'm a fs developer and this is my first foray into drivers, as
I'm tired of building ralinks driver everytime I update my kernel. Whenever I
load the rt2800pci driver my box bogs down, and a few printk's later I
discovered its because I was getting 10's of thousands of TBTT interrupts a
second. I discovered this was because we were setting the beacon timer to 0,
which is apparently what TBTT keys off of. It seems to me that we should only
be enabling TBTT when we are in a beacon transmitting mode, which from what I
can tell is in AD-HOC and other such modes where the mac80211 layer would have
given us a proper beacon_int to set the beacon timer to instead of 0. So this
is my fix, only enable TBTT if our sync mode is for beacon. This makes it so my
box doesn't die everytime I load the rt2800pci driver. Let me know if this is
acceptable, I just learned all these terms about 15 minutes ago via wikipedia,
so I really am not familiar with how this stuff is supposed to work. Thanks,
