ipv4: remove ip_rt_secret timer (v4)
A while back there was a discussion regarding the rt_secret_interval timer.
Given that we've had the ability to do emergency route cache rebuilds for awhile
now, based on a statistical analysis of the various hash chain lengths in the
cache, the use of the flush timer is somewhat redundant. This patch removes the
rt_secret_interval sysctl, allowing us to rely solely on the statistical
analysis mechanism to determine the need for route cache flushes.

1) introduce two new priv_flags for struct net_device:
IFF_IN_NETPOLL which identifies we are processing a netpoll;
IFF_DISABLE_NETPOLL is used to disable netpoll support for a device
at run-time;
2) introduce one new method for netdev_ops:
->ndo_netpoll_cleanup() is used to clean up netpoll when a device is
removed.
3) introduce netpoll_poll_dev() which takes a struct net_device * parameter;
export netpoll_send_skb() and netpoll_poll_dev() which will be used later;
4) hide a pointer to struct netpoll in struct netpoll_info, ditto.
5) introduce ->real_dev for struct netpoll.
6) introduce a new status NETDEV_BONDING_DESLAE, which is used to disable
netconsole before releasing a slave, to avoid deadlocks.

orinoco: add orinoco_usb driver
This driver uses the core orinoco modules for the bulk of
the functionality. The low level hermes routines (for local bus
cards) are replaced, the driver supplies its own ndo_xmit_start
function, and locking is done with the _bh variant.
Some recent functionality is not available to the USB cards yet
(firmware loading and WPA).
Out-of-tree driver originally written by Manuel Estrada Sainz.
Thanks to Mark Davis for supplying hardware to test the updates.

orinoco: encapsulate driver locking
Local bus and USB drivers will need to do locking differently.
The original orinoco_usb patches had a boolean variable controlling
whether spin_lock_bh was used, or irq based locking. This version
provides wrappers for the lock functions and the drivers specify the
functions pointers needed.
This will introduce a performance penalty, but I'm not expecting it to
be noticable.

Allow the main drivers to specify a custom version of the net_device_ops

some of the existing code.

Both of these functions can currently return
a station pointer that, to the driver, is
invalid (in IBSS mode only) because adding

make ieee80211_find_sta() properly use the

I don't think we even need to check -ENODEV ourselves because if
DEBUG_FS is not compiled in, all the debugfs utility functions will
become no-op.

virtio added mergeable buffers mode where 2 bytes of extra info is put
after vnet header but before actual data (tun does not need this data).
In hindsight, it would have been better to add the new info *before* the
packet: as it is, users need a lot of tricky code to skip the extra 2
bytes in the middle of the iovec, and in fact applications seem to get
it wrong, and only work with specific iovec layout. The fact we might
need to split iovec also means we might in theory overflow iovec max
size.
This patch adds a simpler way for applications to handle this,
and future proofs the interface against further extensions,
by making the size of the virtio net header configurable
from userspace. As a result, tun driver will simply
skip the extra 2 bytes on both input and output.

Per cpu variable softnet_data.total was shared between IRQ and SoftIRQ context

This patch renames softnet_data.total to softnet_data.processed: the number of
packets processed in uppper levels(IP stacks).
softnet_stat data is moved into softnet_data.

net: sock_def_readable() and friends RCU conversion
sk_callback_lock rwlock actually protects sk->sk_sleep pointer, so we
need two atomic operations (and associated dirtying) per incoming
packet.
RCU conversion is pretty much needed :
1) Add a new structure, called "struct socket_wq" to hold all fields
that will need rcu_read_lock() protection (currently: a
wait_queue_head_t and a struct fasync_struct pointer).
[Future patch will add a list anchor for wakeup coalescing]
2) Attach one of such structure to each "struct socket" created in
sock_alloc_inode().
3) Respect RCU grace period when freeing a "struct socket_wq"
4) Change sk_sleep pointer in "struct sock" by sk_wq, pointer to "struct
socket_wq"
5) Change sk_sleep() function to use new sk->sk_wq instead of
sk->sk_sleep
6) Change sk_has_sleeper() to wq_has_sleeper() that must be used inside
a rcu_read_lock() section.
7) Change all sk_has_sleeper() callers to :
- Use rcu_read_lock() instead of read_lock(&sk->sk_callback_lock)
- Use wq_has_sleeper() to eventually wakeup tasks.
- Use rcu_read_unlock() instead of read_unlock(&sk->sk_callback_lock)
8) sock_wake_async() is modified to use rcu protection as well.
9) Exceptions :
macvtap, drivers/net/tun.c, af_unix use integrated "struct socket_wq"
instead of dynamically allocated ones. They dont need rcu freeing.
Some cleanups or followups are probably needed, (possible
sk_callback_lock conversion to a spinlock for example...).

sctp: Tag messages that can be Nagle delayed at creation.
When we create the sctp_datamsg and fragment the user data,
we know exactly if we are sending full segments or not and
how they might be bundled. During this time, we can mark
messages a Nagle capable or not. This makes the check at
transmit time much simpler.
