inet: Allowing more than 64k connections and heavily optimize bind(0) time.
With simple extension to the binding mechanism, which allows to bind more
than 64k sockets (or smaller amount, depending on sysctl parameters),
we have to traverse the whole bind hash table to find out empty bucket.
And while it is not a problem for example for 32k connections, bind()
completion time grows exponentially (since after each successful binding
we have to traverse one bucket more to find empty one) even if we start
each time from random offset inside the hash table.
So, when hash table is full, and we want to add another socket, we have
to traverse the whole table no matter what, so effectivelly this will be
the worst case performance and it will be constant.
Attached picture shows bind() time depending on number of already bound
sockets.
Green area corresponds to the usual binding to zero port process, which
turns on kernel port selection as described above. Red area is the bind
process, when number of reuse-bound sockets is not limited by 64k (or
sysctl parameters). The same exponential growth (hidden by the green
area) before number of ports reaches sysctl limit.
At this time bind hash table has exactly one reuse-enbaled socket in a
bucket, but it is possible that they have different addresses. Actually
kernel selects the first port to try randomly, so at the beginning bind
will take roughly constant time, but with time number of port to check
after random start will increase. And that will have exponential growth,
but because of above random selection, not every next port selection
will necessary take longer time than previous. So we have to consider
the area below in the graph (if you could zoom it, you could find, that
there are many different times placed there), so area can hide another.
Blue area corresponds to the port selection optimization.
This is rather simple design approach: hashtable now maintains (unprecise
and racely updated) number of currently bound sockets, and when number
of such sockets becomes greater than predefined value (I use maximum
port range defined by sysctls), we stop traversing the whole bind hash
table and just stop at first matching bucket after random start. Above
limit roughly corresponds to the case, when bind hash table is full and
we turned on mechanism of allowing to bind more reuse-enabled sockets,
so it does not change behaviour of other sockets.

igb: Replace LRO with GRO
This patch makes igb invoke the GRO hooks instead of LRO. As
GRO has a compatible external interface to LRO this is a very
straightforward replacement.
Three things of note:
1) I've kept the LRO Kconfig option until we decide to enable
GRO across the board at which point it can also be killed.
2) The poll_controller stuff is broken in igb as it tries to do
the same work as the normal poll routine. Since poll_controller
can be called in the middle of a poll, this can't be good.
I noticed this because poll_controller can invoke the GRO hooks
without flushing held GRO packets.
However, this should be harmless (assuming the poll_controller
bug above doesn't kill you first :) since the next ->poll will
clear the backlog. The only time when we'll have a problem is
if we're already executing the GRO code on the same ring, but
that's no worse than what happens now.
3) I kept the ip_summed check before calling GRO so that we're
on par with previous behaviour.

This patch takes care of initialising and type-checking sysctls
related to feature negotiation. Type checking is important since some
of the sysctls now directly impact the feature-negotiation process.
The sysctls are initialised with the known default values for each
feature. For the type-checking the value constraints from RFC 4340
are used:
* Sequence Window uses the specified Wmin=32, the maximum is ulong (4 bytes),
tested and confirmed that it works up to 4294967295 - for Gbps speed;
* Ack Ratio is between 0 .. 0xffff (2-byte unsigned integer);
* CCIDs are between 0 .. 255;
* request_retries, retries1, retries2 also between 0..255 for good measure;
* tx_qlen is checked to be non-negative;
* sync_ratelimit remains as before.
Notes:
------
1. Die s@sysctl_dccp_feat@sysctl_dccp@g since the sysctls are now in feat.c.
2. As pointed out by Arnaldo, the pattern of type-checking repeats itself in
other places, sometimes with exactly the same kind of definitions (e.g.
"static int zero;"). It may be a good idea (kernel janitors?) to consolidate
type checking. For the sake of keeping the changeset small and in order not

net: Fix data corruption when splicing from sockets.
The trick in socket splicing where we try to convert the skb->data
into a page based reference using virt_to_page() does not work so
well.
The idea is to pass the virt_to_page() reference via the pipe
buffer, and refcount the buffer using a SKB reference.
But if we are splicing from a socket to a socket (via sendpage)
this doesn't work.
The from side processing will grab the page (and SKB) references.
The sendpage() calls will grab page references only, return, and
then the from side processing completes and drops the SKB ref.
The page based reference to skb->data is not enough to keep the
kmalloc() buffer backing it from being reused. Yet, that is
all that the socket send side has at this point.
This leads to data corruption if the skb->data buffer is reused
by SLAB before the send side socket actually gets the TX packet
out to the device.
The fix employed here is to simply allocate a page and copy the
skb->data bytes into that page.
This will hurt performance, but there is no clear way to fix this
properly without a copy at the present time, and it is important
to get rid of the data corruption.
With fixes from Herbert Xu.

tg3: Fix firmware loading
This patch modifies how the tg3 driver handles device firmware.
The patch starts by consolidating David Woodhouse's earlier patch under
the same name. Specifically, the patch moves the request_firmware call
into a separate tg3_request_firmware() function and calls that function
from tg3_open() rather than tg3_init_one().
The patch then goes on to limit the number of devices that will make
request_firmware calls. The original firmware patch unnecessarily
requested TSO firmware for devices that did not need it. This patch
reduces the set of devices making TSO firmware patches to approximately
the following device set : 5703, 5704, and 5705.
Finally, the patch reduces the effects of a request_firmware() failure.
For those devices that are requesting TSO firmware, the driver will turn
off the TSO capability. If TSO firmware becomes available at a later
time, the device can be closed and then opened again to reacquire the
TSO capability.
