tc code implicitly considers skb->protocol even in case of accelerated
vlan paths and expects vlan protocol type here. However, on rx path,
if the vlan header was already stripped, skb->protocol contains value
of next header. Similar situation is on tx path.
So for skbs that use skb->vlan_tci for tagging, use skb->vlan_proto instead.

Not all architectures are able to call __builtin_return_address().

In a lot of cases, this is relatively easy to work around by
passing the value of __builtin_return_address(0) from the
callers into the functions that want it. One exception is
the indirect 'open' function call in struct isac_hw. While it
would be possible to fix this as well, this patch only addresses
the other callers properly and lets this one return the direct
parent function, which should be good enough.

Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2015-01-13
This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf.
Mitch provides a fix for i40e to move the call to pci_disable_sriov() so
that it is called earlier to ensure that the PF driver won't free VF
resources before the VF remove routine can complete. Also cleans up
redundant and duplicate code in the i40evf. Refactors the i40evf
shutdown code and let the watchdog take care of shutting things down.
Fix a possible memory leak, if we are using VLANs and the communication
with the PF fail during shutdown. On some versions of the firmware, the
VF admin send queue may become stalled. In this case, the easiest
solution is to place another descriptor on the queue and the firmware
will then process both requests.

There is always a possibility that MSI-X interrupts can get lost. To
keep this problem from stalling the driver, we fire all of our MSI-X
vectors during the watchdog routine. However, we should not fire the
traffic vectors when the interface is closed. In this case, just fire
vector 0, which is used for admin queue events.
As a result, we do not enable the interrupt cause for vector 0. This
can cause the admin queue handler to be called reentrantly, which
causes a scary "critical section violation" message to be logged,
even though no real damage is done.

With TLP, the peer may reply to a probe with an
ACK+D-SACK, with ack value set to tlp_high_seq. In the current code,
such ACK+DSACK will be missed and only at next, higher ack will the TLP
episode be considered done. Since the DSACK is not present anymore,
this will cost a cwnd reduction.
This patch ensures that this scenario does not cause a cwnd reduction, since
receiving an ACK+DSACK indicates that both the initial segment and the probe
have been received by the peer.

remove nl_sk_hash_lock from netlink socket
After tipc socket successfully avoids the involvement of an extra lock
with rhashtable_lookup_insert(), it's possible for netlink socket to
remove its hash socket lock now. But as netlink socket needs a compare
function to look for an object, we first introduce a new function
called rhashtable_lookup_compare_insert() in commit #1 which is
implemented based on original rhashtable_lookup_insert(). We
subsequently remove nl_sk_hash_lock from netlink socket with the new

commit #3 to indicate the implementation of what the grow and shrink
decision function must enforce min/max shift.

Increase the limit of tuntap queues
Networking under KVM works best if we allocate a per-vCPU rx and tx
queue in a virtual NIC. This requires a per-vCPU queue on the host side.
Modern physical NICs have multiqueue support for large number of queues.
To scale vNIC to run multiple queues parallel to maximum number of vCPU's
we need to increase number of queues support in tuntap.
Changes from v4:

Changes from v2:

Changes from v1:

Changes from RFC
PATCH 1: Sergei Shtylyov - Add an empty line after declarations.
PATCH 2: Jiri Pirko - Do not introduce new module paramaters.
Michael.S.Tsirkin- We can use sysctl for limiting max number
of queues.
This series is to increase the number of tuntap queues. Original work is being
done by 'jasowang@redhat.com'. I am taking this 'https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/6/19/29'
patch series as a reference. As per discussion in the patch series:
There were two reasons which prevented us from increasing number of tun queues:
- The netdev_queue array in netdevice were allocated through kmalloc, which may
cause a high order memory allocation too when we have several queues.
E.g. sizeof(netdev_queue) is 320, which means a high order allocation would
happens when the device has more than 16 queues.
- We store the hash buckets in tun_struct which results a very large size of
tun_struct, this high order memory allocation fail easily when the memory is
fragmented.
The patch 60877a32bc increases the number of tx
queues. Memory allocation fallback to vzalloc() when kmalloc() fails.
This series tries to address following issues:
- Increase the number of netdev_queue queues for rx similarly its done for tx
queues by falling back to vzalloc() when memory allocation with kmalloc() fails.
- Increase number of queues to 256, maximum number is equal to maximum number
of vCPUS allowed in a guest.
I have also done testing with multiple parallel Netperf sessions for different
combination of queues and CPU's. It seems to be working fine without much increase
in cpu load with increase in number of queues. I also see good increase in throughput
with increase in number of queues. Though i had limitation of 8 physical CPU's.
For this test: Two Hosts(Host1 & Host2) are directly connected with cable
Host1 is running Guest1. Data is sent from Host2 to Guest1 via Host1.
Host kernel: 3.19.0-rc2+, AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 6320

Networking under kvm works best if we allocate a per-vCPU RX and TX
queue in a virtual NIC. This requires a per-vCPU queue on the host side.
It is now safe to increase the maximum number of queues.
Preceding patch: 'net: allow large number of rx queues'
made sure this won't cause failures due to high order memory
allocations. Increase it to 256: this is the max number of vCPUs
KVM supports.
Size of tun_struct changes from 8512 to 10496 after this patch. This keeps
pages allocated for tun_struct before and after the patch to 3.

netif_alloc_rx_queues() uses kcalloc() to allocate memory
for "struct netdev_queue *_rx" array.
If we are doing large rx queue allocation kcalloc() might
fail, so this patch does a fallback to vzalloc().
Similar implementation is done for tx queue allocation in
netif_alloc_netdev_queues().
We avoid failure of high order memory allocation
with the help of vzalloc(), this allows us to do large
rx and tx queue allocation which in turn helps us to
increase the number of queues in tun.
As vmalloc() adds overhead on a critical network path,
__GFP_REPEAT flag is used with kzalloc() to do this fallback
only when really needed.

The deleted lines are called from a function which is called:
1) Only through __team_options_register via team_options_register and
2) Only during initialization / mode initialization when there are no
ports attached.
Therefore the ports list is guarenteed to be empty and this code will
never be executed.

Remove the function teql_neigh_release() that is not used anywhere.
This was partially found by using a static code analysis program called cppcheck.

====================
bridge: support for vlan range in setlink/dellink
This series adds new flags in IFLA_BRIDGE_VLAN_INFO to indicate
vlan range.
Will post corresponding iproute2 patches if these get accepted.
v1-> v2
- changed patches to use a nested list attribute
IFLA_BRIDGE_VLAN_INFO_LIST as suggested by scott feldman
- dropped notification changes from the series. Will post them
separately after this range message is accepted.
v2 -> v3
- incorporated some review feedback
- include patches to fill vlan ranges during getlink
- Dropped IFLA_BRIDGE_VLAN_INFO_LIST. I think it may get
confusing to userspace if we introduce yet another way to
send lists. With getlink already sending nested
IFLA_BRIDGE_VLAN_INFO in IFLA_AF_SPEC, It seems better to
use the existing format for lists and just use the flags from v2
to mark vlan ranges

This patch adds new function to pack vlans into ranges
whereever applicable using the flags BRIDGE_VLAN_INFO_RANGE_BEGIN
and BRIDGE VLAN_INFO_RANGE_END
Old vlan packing code is moved to a new function and continues to be
called when filter_mask is RTEXT_FILTER_BRVLAN.
