As reported by Ben Greer and Froncois Romieu. The code path in
the netif_carrier code leads it to try and disable
a late workqueue to reenable it immediately
netif_carrier_on
-> linkwatch_fire_event
-> linkwatch_schedule_work
-> cancel_delayed_work
-> del_timer_sync
If __cancel_delayed_work is used instead then there is no
problem of waiting for running linkwatch_event.
There is a race between linkwatch_event running re-scheduling
but it is harmless to schedule an extra scan of the linkwatch queue.

Some drivers (ab)use the ethtool_ops::get_regs operation to expose
only a hardware revision ID. Commit
a77f5db361 ('ethtool: Allocate register
dump buffer with vmalloc()') had the side-effect of breaking these, as
vmalloc() returns a null pointer for size=0 whereas kmalloc() did not.
For backward-compatibility, allow zero-length dumps again.

And mask the hash function result by simply shifting
down the "->hash_shift" most significant bits.
Currently which bits we use is arbitrary since jhash
produces entropy evenly across the whole hash function
result.
But soon we'll be using universal hashing functions,
and in those cases more entropy exists in the higher
bits than the lower bits, because they use multiplies.

This patch adds userspace buffers support in skb shared info. A new
struct skb_ubuf_info is needed to maintain the userspace buffers
argument and index, a callback is used to notify userspace to release
the buffers once lower device has done DMA (Last reference to that skb
has gone).
If there is any userspace apps to reference these userspace buffers,
then these userspaces buffers will be copied into kernel. This way we
can prevent userspace apps from holding these userspace buffers too long.
Use destructor_arg to point to the userspace buffer info; a new tx flags
SKBTX_DEV_ZEROCOPY is added for zero-copy buffer check.

IPV6, unlike IPV4, doesn't have a routing cache.
Routing table entries, as well as clones made in response
to route lookup requests, all live in the same table. And
all of these things are together collected in the destination
cache table for ipv6.
This means that routing table entries count against the garbage
collection limits, even though such entries cannot ever be reclaimed
and are added explicitly by the administrator (rather than being
created in response to lookups).
Therefore it makes no sense to count ipv6 routing table entries
against the GC limits.
Add a DST_NOCOUNT destination cache entry flag, and skip the counting
if it is set. Use this flag bit in ipv6 when adding routing table
entries.

This patch adds a change sequence counter to each net namespace
which is bumped whenever a netdevice is added or removed from
the list. If such a change occurred while a link dump took place,
the dump will have the NLM_F_DUMP_INTR flag set in the first
message which has been interrupted and in all subsequent messages
of the same dump.
Note that links may still be modified or renamed while a dump is
taking place but we can guarantee for userspace to receive a
complete list of links and not miss any.
Testing:
I have added 500 VLAN netdevices to make sure the dump is split
over multiple messages. Then while continuously dumping links in
one process I also continuously deleted and re-added a dummy
netdevice in another process. Multiple dumps per seconds have
had the NLM_F_DUMP_INTR flag set.
I guess we can wait for Johannes patch to hit net-next via the
wireless tree. I just wanted to give this some testing right away.

* ->current_ns() semantics change - it's supposed to be followed by
corresponding ->drop_ns(). For struct net in case of CONFIG_NET_NS it bumps
the new refcount; net_drop_ns() decrements it and calls net_free() if the
last reference has been dropped. Method renamed to ->grab_current_ns().
* old net_free() callers call net_drop_ns() instead.
* sysfs_exit_ns() is gone, along with a large part of callchain
leading to it; now that the references stored in ->ns[...] stay valid we
do not need to hunt them down and replace them with NULL. That fixes
problems in sysfs_lookup() and sysfs_readdir(), along with getting rid
of sb->s_instances abuse.
Note that struct net *shutdown* logics has not changed - net_cleanup()

Testing of VLAN_FLAG_REORDER_HDR does not belong in vlan_untag
but rather in vlan_do_receive. Otherwise the vlan header
will not be properly put on the packet in the case of
vlan header accelleration.
As we remove the check from vlan_check_reorder_header
rename it vlan_reorder_header to keep the naming clean.
Fix up the skb->pkt_type early so we don't look at the packet
after adding the vlan tag, which guarantees we don't goof
and look at the wrong field.
Use a simple if statement instead of a complicated switch
statement to decided that we need to increment rx_stats
for a multicast packet.
Hopefully at somepoint we will just declare the case where
VLAN_FLAG_REORDER_HDR is cleared as unsupported and remove
the code. Until then this keeps it working correctly.

This change is meant to remove all support for displaying an ntuple as
strings via ETHTOOL_GRXNTUPLE. The reason for this change is due to the
fact that multiple issues have been found including:
- Multiple buffer overruns for strings being displayed.
- Incorrect filters displayed, cleared filters with ring of -2 are displayed
- Setting get_rx_ntuple displays no rules if defined.
- Endianess wrong on displayed values.
- Hard limit of 1024 filters makes display functionality extremely limited
The only driver that had supported this interface was ixgbe. Since it no
longer uses the interface and due to the issues mentioned above I am
submitting this patch to remove it.
v2:
Updated based on comments from Ben Hutchings
- Left ETH_SS_NTUPLE_FILTERS in code but commented on it being deprecated
- Removed ethtool_rx_ntuple_list and ethtool_rx_ntuple_flow_spec_container
- Left ETHTOOL_GRXNTUPLE but commented it as deprecated
Also cleaned up set_rx_ntuple since there is no flow spec container to
maintain we can drop all the code for the alloc and free of it and just
return ops->set_rx_ntuple().

During heavy network load we turn off/on cpus.
Sometimes this causes a stall on the network device.
Digging into the dump I found out following:
napi is scheduled but does not run. From the I/O buffers
and the napi state I see napi/rx_softirq processing has stopped
because the budget was reached. napi stays in the
softnet_data poll_list and the rx_softirq was raised again.
I assume at this time the cpu offline comes in,
the rx softirq is raised/moved to another cpu but napi stays in the
poll_list of the softnet_data of the now offline cpu.
Reviewing dev_cpu_callback (net/core/dev.c) I did not find the
poll_list is transfered to the new cpu.

This patch is a straightforward implementation of Frank suggestion :

skb->dev->name after ndo_start_xmit. But trace_net_dev_xmit does that
