Vasu Dev 669d3e0bab vlan: adds vlan_dev_select_queue
This is required to correctly select vlan tx queue for a driver
supporting multi tx queue with ndo_select_queue implemented since
currently selected vlan tx queue is unaligned to selected queue by
real net_devce ndo_select_queue.

Unaligned vlan tx queue selection causes thrash with higher vlan
tx lock contention for least fcoe traffic and wrong socket tx
queue_mapping for ixgbe having ndo_select_queue implemented.

-v2

As per Eric Dumazet<eric.dumazet@gmail.com> comments, mirrored
vlan net_device_ops to have them with and without vlan_dev_select_queue
and then select according to real dev ndo_select_queue present or not
for a vlan net_device. This is to completely skip vlan_dev_select_queue
calling for real net_device not supporting ndo_select_queue.

Arnd Bergmann 8a83a00b07 net: maintain namespace isolation between vlan and real device
In the vlan and macvlan drivers, the start_xmit function forwards
data to the dev_queue_xmit function for another device, which may
potentially belong to a different namespace.

To make sure that classification stays within a single namespace,
this resets the potentially critical fields.

Patrick McHardy 5e75659305 vlan: support "loose binding" to the underlying network device
Currently the UP/DOWN state of VLANs is synchronized to the state of the
underlying device, meaning all VLANs are set down once the underlying
device is set down. This causes all routes to the VLAN devices to vanish.

Add a flag to specify a "loose binding" mode, in which only the operstate
is transfered, but the VLAN device state is independant.

Eric Dumazet 9793241fe9 vlan: Precise RX stats accounting
With multi queue devices, its possible that several cpus call
vlan RX routines simultaneously for the same vlan device.

We update RX stats counter without any locking, so we can
get slightly wrong counters.

One possible fix is to use percpu counters, to get precise
accounting and also get guarantee of no cache line ping pongs
between cpus.

Note: this adds 16 bytes (32 bytes on 64bit arches) of percpu
data per vlan device.

Eric Dumazet 05423b2413 vlan: allow null VLAN ID to be used
We currently use a 16 bit field (vlan_tci) to store VLAN ID/PRIO on a skb.

Null value is used as a special value, meaning vlan tagging not enabled.
This forbids use of null vlan ID.

As pointed by David, some drivers use the 3 high order bits (PRIO)

As VLAN ID is 12 bits, we can use the remaining bit (CFI) as a flag, and
allow null VLAN ID.

In case future code really wants to use VLAN_CFI_MASK, we'll have to use
a bit outside of vlan_tci.

#define VLAN_PRIO_MASK         0xe000 /* Priority Code Point */
#define VLAN_PRIO_SHIFT        13
#define VLAN_CFI_MASK          0x1000 /* Canonical Format Indicator */
#define VLAN_TAG_PRESENT       VLAN_CFI_MASK
#define VLAN_VID_MASK          0x0fff /* VLAN Identifier */

Jiri Pirko ccffad25b5 net: convert unicast addr list
This patch converts unicast address list to standard list_head using
previously introduced struct netdev_hw_addr. It also relaxes the
locking. Original spinlock (still used for multicast addresses) is not
needed and is no longer used for a protection of this list. All
reading and writing takes place under rtnl (with no changes).

I also removed a possibility to specify the length of the address
while adding or deleting unicast address. It's always dev->addr_len.

The convertion touched especially e1000 and ixgbe codes when the
change is not so trivial.

Eric Dumazet 93f154b594 net: release dst entry in dev_hard_start_xmit()
One point of contention in high network loads is the dst_release() performed
when a transmited skb is freed. This is because NIC tx completion calls
dev_kree_skb() long after original call to dev_queue_xmit(skb).

CPU cache is cold and the atomic op in dst_release() stalls. On SMP, this is
quite visible if one CPU is 100% handling softirqs for a network device,
since dst_clone() is done by other cpus, involving cache line ping pongs.

It seems right place to release dst is in dev_hard_start_xmit(), for most
devices but ones that are virtual, and some exceptions.

David Miller suggested to define a new device flag, set in alloc_netdev_mq()
(so that most devices set it at init time), and carefuly unset in devices
which dont want a NULL skb->dst in their ndo_start_xmit().

List of devices that must clear this flag is :

- loopback device, because it calls netif_rx() and quoting Patrick :
    "ip_route_input() doesn't accept loopback addresses, so loopback packets
     already need to have a dst_entry attached."
- appletalk/ipddp.c : needs skb->dst in its xmit function

- And all devices that call again dev_queue_xmit() from their xmit function
(as some classifiers need skb->dst) : bonding, vlan, macvlan, eql, ifb, hdlc_fr

Jay Vosburgh adc667e84f vlan: update vlan carrier state for admin up/down
Currently, the VLAN event handler does not adjust the VLAN
device's carrier state when the real device or the VLAN device is set
administratively up or down.

	The following patch adds a transfer of operating state from the
real device to the VLAN device when the real device is administratively
set up or down, and sets the carrier state up or down during init, open
and close of the VLAN device.

	This permits observers above the VLAN device that care about the
carrier state (bonding's link monitor, for example) to receive updates
for administrative changes by more closely mimicing the behavior of real
devices.

Patrick McHardy acc81e1465 vlan: fix network_header/mac_header adjustments
Lennert Buytenhek points out that the VLAN code incorrectly adjusts
skb->network_header to point in the middle of the VLAN header and
additionally tries to adjust skb->mac_header without checking for
validity.

The network_header should not be touched at all since we're only
adding headers in front of it, mac_header adjustments are not
necessary at all.

Based on patch by Lennert Buytenhek <buytenh@wantstofly.org>.

Patrick McHardy 70c03b49b8 vlan: Add GVRP support
Add GVRP support for dynamically registering VLANs with switches.

By default GVRP is disabled because we only support the applicant-only
participant model, which means it should not be enabled on vlans that
are members of a bridge. Since there is currently no way to cleanly
determine that, the user is responsible for enabling it.

The code is pretty small and low impact, its wrapped in a config
option though because it depends on the GARP implementation and
the STP core.

Patrick McHardy b3ce0325f2 vlan: Change vlan_dev_set_vlan_flag() to handle multiple flags at once
Change vlan_dev_set_vlan_flag() to handle multiple flags at once and
rename to vlan_dev_change_flags(). This allows to to use it from the
netlink interface, which in turn allows to handle necessary adjustments
when changing flags centrally.

Patrick McHardy 289c79a4bd vlan: Use bitmask of feature flags instead of seperate feature bits
Herbert Xu points out that the use of seperate feature bits for features
to be propagated to VLAN devices is going to get messy real soon.
Replace the VLAN feature bits by a bitmask of feature flags to be
propagated and restore the old GSO_SHIFT/MASK values.

Patrick McHardy 5fb1357054 [VLAN]: Propagate selected feature bits to VLAN devices
Propagate feature bits from the NETDEV_FEAT_CHANGE notifier. For now
only TSO is propagated for devices that announce their ability to
support TSO in combination with VLAN accel by setting the NETIF_F_VLAN_TSO
flag.

Pavel Emelyanov 65d292a2ef [VLAN]: Allow vlan devices registration in net namespaces.
This one is similar to what I've done for TUN - set the proper
net after device allocation and clean VLANs on net exit (use the
rtnl_kill_links helper finally).

Plus, drop explicit init_net usage and net != &init_net checks.
