In addition to this change, a number of performance modifications were

of asyncdma, and modification of NTB layer MTU size.

"I have just queued some more bugfix patches today but none fix

good time for a merge for -rc1.
The motivation for this is support for legacy BE guests on the new LE
hosts. There are two redeeming properties that made me merge this:
- It's a trivial amount of code: since we wrap host/guest accesses
anyway, almost all of it is well hidden from drivers.
- Sane platforms would never set flags like VHOST_CROSS_ENDIAN_LEGACY,
and when it's clear, there's zero overhead (as some point it was
tested by compiling with and without the patches, got the same
stripped binary).
Maybe we could create a Kconfig symbol to enforce the second point:
prevent people from enabling it eg on x86. I will look into this"

The VNET_LE flag was introduced to fix accesses to virtio 1.0 headers
that are always little-endian. It can also be used to handle the special
case of a legacy little-endian device implemented by a big-endian host.
Let's add a flag and ioctls for big-endian devices as well. If both flags
are set, little-endian wins.
Since this is isn't a common usecase, the feature is controlled by a kernel
config option (not set by default).
Both macvtap and tun are covered by this patch since they share the same
API with userland.

SRCU is not necessary to be compiled by default in all cases. For tinification
efforts not compiling SRCU unless necessary is desirable.
The current patch tries to make compiling SRCU optional by introducing a new

use of SRCU are selected.
If we do not select CONFIG_SRCU, srcu.o will not be compiled at all.

This driver is very similar to the macvlan driver except that it
uses L3 on the frame to determine the logical interface while
functioning as packet dispatcher. It inherits L2 of the master
device hence the packets on wire will have the same L2 for all
the packets originating from all virtual devices off of the same
master device.
This driver was developed keeping the namespace use-case in
mind. Hence most of the examples given here take that as the
base setup where main-device belongs to the default-ns and
virtual devices are assigned to the additional namespaces.
The device operates in two different modes and the difference
in these two modes in primarily in the TX side.
(a) L2 mode : In this mode, the device behaves as a L2 device.
TX processing upto L2 happens on the stack of the virtual device
associated with (namespace). Packets are switched after that
into the main device (default-ns) and queued for xmit.
RX processing is simple and all multicast, broadcast (if
applicable), and unicast belonging to the address(es) are
delivered to the virtual devices.
(b) L3 mode : In this mode, the device behaves like a L3 device.
TX processing upto L3 happens on the stack of the virtual device
associated with (namespace). Packets are switched to the
main-device (default-ns) for the L2 processing. Hence the routing
table of the default-ns will be used in this mode.
RX processins is somewhat similar to the L2 mode except that in
this mode only Unicast packets are delivered to the virtual device
while main-dev will handle all other packets.
The devices can be added using the "ip" command from the iproute2
package -
ip link add link <master> <virtual> type ipvlan mode [ l2 | l3 ]

The netpoll packet receive code only becomes active if the netpoll
rx_skb_hook is implemented, and there is not a single implementation
of the netpoll rx_skb_hook in the kernel.
All of the out of tree implementations I have found all call
netpoll_poll which was removed from the kernel in 2011, so this
change should not add any additional breakage.
There are problems with the netpoll packet receive code. __netpoll_rx
does not call dev_kfree_skb_irq or dev_kfree_skb_any in hard irq
context. netpoll_neigh_reply leaks every skb it receives. Reception
of packets does not work successfully on stacked devices (aka bonding,
team, bridge, and vlans).
Given that the netpoll packet receive code is buggy, there are no
out of tree users that will be merged soon, and the code has
not been used for in tree for a decade let's just remove it.
Reverting this commit can server as a starting point for anyone
who wants to resurrect netpoll packet reception support.

Currently, there is no good possibility to debug netlink traffic that
is being exchanged between kernel and user space. Therefore, this patch
implements a netlink virtual device, so that netlink messages will be
made visible to PF_PACKET sockets. Once there was an approach with a
similar idea [1], but it got forgotten somehow.
I think it makes most sense to accept the "overhead" of an extra netlink
net device over implementing the same functionality from PF_PACKET
sockets once again into netlink sockets. We have BPF filters that can
already be easily applied which even have netlink extensions, we have
RX_RING zero-copy between kernel- and user space that can be reused,
and much more features. So instead of re-implementing all of this, we
simply pass the skb to a given PF_PACKET socket for further analysis.
Another nice benefit that comes from that is that no code needs to be
changed in user space packet analyzers (maybe adding a dissector, but
not more), thus out of the box, we can already capture pcap files of
netlink traffic to debug/troubleshoot netlink problems.
Also thanks goes to Thomas Graf, Flavio Leitner, Jesper Dangaard Brouer.

This patch introduces new network device called team. It supposes to be
very fast, simple, userspace-driven alternative to existing bonding
driver.
Userspace library called libteam with couple of demo apps is available
here:
https://github.com/jpirko/libteam
Note it's still in its dipers atm.
team<->libteam use generic netlink for communication. That and rtnl
suppose to be the only way to configure team device, no sysfs etc.
Python binding of libteam was recently introduced.
Daemon providing arpmon/miimon active-backup functionality will be
introduced shortly. All what's necessary is already implemented in
kernel team driver.
v7->v8:
- check ndo_ndo_vlan_rx_[add/kill]_vid functions before calling
them.
- use dev_kfree_skb_any() instead of dev_kfree_skb()
v6->v7:
- transmit and receive functions are not checked in hot paths.
That also resolves memory leak on transmit when no port is
present
v5->v6:
- changed couple of _rcu calls to non _rcu ones in non-readers
v4->v5:
- team_change_mtu() uses team->lock while travesing though port
list
- mac address changes are moved completely to jurisdiction of
userspace daemon. This way the daemon can do FOM1, FOM2 and
possibly other weird things with mac addresses.
Only round-robin mode sets up all ports to bond's address then
enslaved.
- Extended Kconfig text
v3->v4:
- remove redundant synchronize_rcu from __team_change_mode()
- revert "set and clear of mode_ops happens per pointer, not per
byte"
- extend comment of function __team_change_mode()
v2->v3:
- team_change_mtu() uses rcu version of list traversal to unwind
- set and clear of mode_ops happens per pointer, not per byte
- port hashlist changed to be embedded into team structure
- error branch in team_port_enter() does cleanup now
- fixed rtln->rtnl
v1->v2:
- modes are made as modules. Makes team more modular and
extendable.
- several commenters' nitpicks found on v1 were fixed
- several other bugs were fixed.
- note I ignored Eric's comment about roundrobin port selector
as Eric's way may be easily implemented as another mode (mode
"random") in future.

Commit ff5a3b509e ("hippi: Move the HIPPI driver") moved the HIPPI
driver into drivers/net/hippi. It didn't source
drivers/net/hippi/Kconfig though, so it didn't make all necessary
Kconfig changes. So let drivers/net/kconfig source HIPPI's Kconfig file.
[ Fix syntax error at the end of HIPP's Kconfig file. -DaveM ]

The is does a general cleanup of the drivers/net/ Kconfig and
Makefile. This patch create a "core" option and places all
the networking core drivers into this option (default is yes
for this option). In addition, it alphabitizes the Kconfig
driver options.
As a side cleanup, found that the arcnet, token ring, and PHY
Kconfig options were a tri-state option and should have been
a bool option.

Move the COM20020 PCMICA Arcnet driver into drivers/net/arcnet/ with
the other Arcnet drivers. Made the necessary Kconfig and Makefile
changes as well.
Since this was the "last" PCMCIA driver in drivers/net/pcmcia/, this patch
also cleans up the references to drivers/net/pcmcia.

depmod will pick up the symbol dependency and make sure sungem_phy.ko

After the move of the Ethernet drivers into drivers/net/ethernet/
there was some leftover cleanup to do in the Kconfig and Makefile.
Removed the 10/100, 1000, and 10GbE Kconfig menus.
Removed the out-dated pci-skeleton.c file which was used an
example driver. With the current networking features and
structure, the file is no longer a good example to use for
driver creation.
