RDS currently supports a GET_MR sockopt to establish a
memory region (MR) for a chunk of memory. However, the fastreg
method ties a MR to a particular destination. The GET_MR_FOR_DEST
sockopt allows the remote machine to be specified, and thus
support for fastreg (aka FRWRs).
Note that this patch does *not* do all of this - it simply
implements the new sockopt in terms of the old one, so applications
can begin to use the new sockopt in preparation for cutover to
FRWRs.

So when we implement new protocol support we should keep such

Eventually inet_getname is switched to use DECLARE_SOCKADDR

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

This patch makes the private functions alloc_can_skb() and
alloc_can_err_skb() of the at91_can driver public and adapts all

the skb's are *not* setup consistently. It's now done as shown
below:
skb->protocol = htons(ETH_P_CAN);
skb->pkt_type = PACKET_BROADCAST;
skb->ip_summed = CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY;
*cf = (struct can_frame *)skb_put(skb, sizeof(struct can_frame));
memset(*cf, 0, sizeof(struct can_frame));
The frame is zeroed out to avoid uninitialized data to be passed to
user space. Some drivers or library code did not set "pkt_type" or
"ip_summed". Also, "__constant_htons()" should not be used for
runtime invocations, as pointed out by David Miller.

Goal is to transfert fields used at lookup time in the first

to a separate cache line (only written by rx path)
This patch adds inet_ prefix to daddr, rcv_saddr, dport, num, saddr,

Meaning receive multiple messages, reducing the number of syscalls and
net stack entry/exit operations.
Next patches will introduce mechanisms where protocols that want to
optimize this operation will provide an unlocked_recvmsg operation.
This takes into account comments made by:
. Paul Moore: sock_recvmsg is called only for the first datagram,
sock_recvmsg_nosec is used for the rest.
. Caitlin Bestler: recvmmsg now has a struct timespec timeout, that
works in the same fashion as the ppoll one.
If the underlying protocol returns a datagram with MSG_OOB set, this
will make recvmmsg return right away with as many datagrams (+ the OOB
one) it has received so far.
. Rémi Denis-Courmont & Steven Whitehouse: If we receive N < vlen
datagrams and then recvmsg returns an error, recvmmsg will return
the successfully received datagrams, store the error and return it
in the next call.
This paves the way for a subsequent optimization, sk_prot->unlocked_recvmsg,
where we will be able to acquire the lock only at batch start and end, not at
every underlying recvmsg call.

Create a new socket level option to report number of queue overflows
Recently I augmented the AF_PACKET protocol to report the number of frames lost
on the socket receive queue between any two enqueued frames. This value was
exported via a SOL_PACKET level cmsg. AFter I completed that work it was
requested that this feature be generalized so that any datagram oriented socket
could make use of this option. As such I've created this patch, It creates a
new SOL_SOCKET level option called SO_RXQ_OVFL, which when enabled exports a
SOL_SOCKET level cmsg that reports the nubmer of times the sk_receive_queue
overflowed between any two given frames. It also augments the AF_PACKET
protocol to take advantage of this new feature (as it previously did not touch
sk->sk_drops, which this patch uses to record the overflow count). Tested
successfully by me.
Notes:
1) Unlike my previous patch, this patch simply records the sk_drops value, which
is not a number of drops between packets, but rather a total number of drops.
Deltas must be computed in user space.
2) While this patch currently works with datagram oriented protocols, it will
also be accepted by non-datagram oriented protocols. I'm not sure if thats
agreeable to everyone, but my argument in favor of doing so is that, for those
protocols which aren't applicable to this option, sk_drops will always be zero,
and reporting no drops on a receive queue that isn't used for those
non-participating protocols seems reasonable to me. This also saves us having
to code in a per-protocol opt in mechanism.
3) This applies cleanly to net-next assuming that commit
977750076d (my af packet cmsg patch) is reverted

since the networking stack requires this for netif_rx()
and some code in mac80211 can assume that it can not
be processing its own tasklet and this call at the same
time.
It may be possible to remove this requirement after a
careful audit of mac80211 and doing any needed locking
improvements in it along with disabling softirqs around
netif_rx(). An alternative might be to push all packet
processing to process context in mac80211, instead of
to the tasklet, and add other synchronisation.
