Ethtool support to configure RX, TX and other channels. combined field
in struct ethtool_channels to reflect set of channel (RX, TX or other).
Other channel can be link interrupts, SR-IOV coordination etc.
ETHTOOL_GCHANNELS will report max and current number of RX channels,
max and current number of TX channels, max and current number of other channel
or max and current number of combined channel.
Number of channel can be modify upto max number of channel through
ETHTOOL_SCHANNELS command.

Now there are 2 paths for rx vlan frames. When rx-vlan-hw-accel is
enabled, skb is untagged by NIC, vlan_tci is set and the skb gets into
vlan code in __netif_receive_skb - vlan_hwaccel_do_receive.
For non-rx-vlan-hw-accel however, tagged skb goes thru whole
__netif_receive_skb, it's untagged in ptype_base hander and reinjected
This incosistency is fixed by this patch. Vlan untagging happens early in
__netif_receive_skb so the rest of code (ptype_all handlers, rx_handlers)
see the skb like it was untagged by hw.

The reverse path filter interferes with IPsec subnet-to-subnet tunnels,
especially when the link to the IPsec peer is on an interface other than
the one hosting the default route.
With dynamic routing, where the peer might be reachable through eth0
today and eth1 tomorrow, it's difficult to keep rp_filter enabled unless
fake routes to the remote subnets are configured on the interface
currently used to reach the peer.
IPsec provides a much stronger anti-spoofing policy than rp_filter, so
this patch disables the rp_filter for packets with a security path.

When we restore regulatory settings its possible CRDA
will not reply because of a bogus user entry. In this
case the bogus entry will prevent any further processing
on cfg80211 for regulatory domains even if we restore
regulatory settings.
To prevent this we suck out all pending requests when
restoring regulatory settings and add them back into the
queue after we have queued up the reset work.
The impact of not having this applied is that a user
with privileges can issue a userspace regulatory hint
while we are disasocciating and this would prevent any
further processing of regulatory domains.

properly record sk_rxhash in ipv6 sockets (v2)
Noticed while working on another project that flows to sockets which I had open
on a test systems weren't getting steered properly when I had RFS enabled.
Looking more closely I found that:
1) The affected sockets were all ipv6
2) They weren't getting steered because sk->sk_rxhash was never set from the
incomming skbs on that socket.
This was occuring because there are several points in the IPv4 tcp and udp code
which save the rxhash value when a new connection is established. Those calls
to sock_rps_save_rxhash were never added to the corresponding ipv6 code paths.
This patch adds those calls. Tested by myself to properly enable RFS
functionalty on ipv6.

The ethtool ETHTOOL_PHYS_ID command runs for an arbitrarily long
period of time, holding the RTNL lock. This blocks routing updates,
device enumeration, and various important operations that one might
want to keep running while hunting for the flashing LED.
We need to drop the RTNL lock during this operation, but currently the
core implementation is a thin wrapper around a driver operation and
drivers may well depend upon holding the lock.
Define a new driver operation 'set_phys_id' with an argument that sets
the ID indicator on/off/inactive/active (the last optional, for any
driver or firmware that prefers to handle blinking asynchronously).
When this is defined, the ethtool core drops the lock while waiting
and only acquires it around calls to this operation.
Deprecate the 'phys_id' operation in favour of this. It can be
removed once all in-tree drivers are converted.

This patch uses __copy_from_user_nocache on transmit to bypass data
cache for a performance improvement. skb_add_data_nocache and
skb_copy_to_page_nocache can be called by sendmsg functions to use
this feature, initial support is in tcp_sendmsg. This functionality is
configurable per device using ethtool.
Presumably, this feature would only be useful when the driver does
not touch the data. The feature is turned on by default if a device
indicates that it does some form of checksum offload; it is off by
default for devices that do no checksum offload or indicate no checksum
is necessary. For the former case copy-checksum is probably done
anyway, in the latter case the device is likely loopback in which case
the no cache copy is probably not beneficial.
This patch was tested using 200 instances of netperf TCP_RR with
1400 byte request and one byte reply. Platform is 16 core AMD x86.
No-cache copy disabled:
672703 tps, 97.13% utilization
50/90/99% latency:244.31 484.205 1028.41
No-cache copy enabled:
702113 tps, 96.16% utilization,
50/90/99% latency 238.56 467.56 956.955
Using 14000 byte request and response sizes demonstrate the
effects more dramatically:
No-cache copy disabled:
79571 tps, 34.34 %utlization
50/90/95% latency 1584.46 2319.59 5001.76
No-cache copy enabled:
83856 tps, 34.81% utilization
50/90/95% latency 2508.42 2622.62 2735.88
Note especially the effect on latency tail (95th percentile).
This seems to provide a nice performance improvement and is
consistent in the tests I ran. Presumably, this would provide
the greatest benfits in the presence of an application workload
stressing the cache and a lot of transmit data happening.

Apply restrictions on STP parameters based 802.1D 1998 standard.
* Fixes missing locking in set path cost ioctl
* Uses common code for both ioctl and sysfs
This is based on an earlier patch Sasikanth V but with overhaul.
Note:
1. It does NOT enforce the restriction on the relationship max_age and
forward delay or hello time because in existing implementation these are
set as independant operations.
2. If STP is disabled, there is no restriction on forward delay
3. No restriction on holding time because users use Linux code to act
as hub or be sticky.
4. Although standard allow 0-255, Linux only allows 0-63 for port priority
because more bits are reserved for port number.

Add netlink device ops to allow creating bridge device via netlink.
This works in a manner similar to vlan, macvlan and bonding.
Example:
# ip link add link dev br0 type bridge
# ip link del dev br0
The change required rearranging initializtion code to deal with
being called by create link. Most of the initialization happens
in br_dev_setup, but allocation of stats is done in ndo_init callback
to deal with allocation failure. Sysfs setup has to wait until
after the network device kobject is registered.
