Eric Dumazet 0864c15883 net: eth_type_trans() should use skb_header_pointer()
eth_type_trans() can read uninitialized memory as drivers
do not necessarily pull more than 14 bytes in skb->head before
calling it.

As David suggested, we can use skb_header_pointer() to
fix this without breaking some drivers that might not expect
eth_type_trans() pulling 2 additional bytes.

Add a new constant ETH_P_802_3_MIN, the minimum ethernet type for

Also update all the users of this value that David Miller and
I could find to use the new constant.

Also correct a bug in util.c. The comparison with ETH_P_802_3_MIN

Pktgen attempts to transmit shared skbs to net devices, which can't be used by
some drivers as they keep state information in skbs.  This patch adds a flag
marking drivers as being able to handle shared skbs in their tx path.  Drivers
are defaulted to being unable to do so, but calling ether_setup enables this
flag, as 90% of the drivers calling ether_setup touch real hardware and can
handle shared skbs.  A subsequent patch will audit drivers to ensure that the
flag is set properly

Tejun Heo 5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Eric Dumazet 1f87e235e6 eth: Declare an optimized compare_ether_addr_64bits() function
Linus mentioned we could try to perform long word operations, even
on potentially unaligned addresses, on x86 at least. David mentioned
the HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS test to handle this on all
arches that have efficient unailgned accesses.

I tried this idea and got nice assembly on 32 bits:

158:   33 82 38 01 00 00       xor    0x138(%edx),%eax
15e:   33 8a 34 01 00 00       xor    0x134(%edx),%ecx
164:   c1 e0 10                shl    $0x10,%eax
167:   09 c1                   or     %eax,%ecx
169:   74 0b                   je     176 <eth_type_trans+0x87>

And very nice assembly on 64 bits of course (one xor, one shl)

Nice oprofile improvement in eth_type_trans(), 0.17 % instead of 0.41 %,
expected since we remove 8 instructions on a fast path.

This patch implements a compare_ether_addr_64bits() function, that
uses the CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS ifdef to efficiently
perform the 6 bytes comparison on all capable arches.

Lennert Buytenhek cf85d08fdf dsa: add support for original DSA tagging format
Most of the DSA switches currently in the field do not support the
Ethertype DSA tagging format that one of the previous patches added
support for, but only the original DSA tagging format.

The original DSA tagging format carries the same information as the
Ethertype DSA tagging format, but with the difference that it does not
have an ethertype field.  In other words, when receiving a packet that
is tagged with an original DSA tag, there is no way of telling in
eth_type_trans() that this packet is in fact a DSA-tagged packet.

This patch adds a hook into eth_type_trans() which is only compiled in
if support for a switch chip that doesn't support Ethertype DSA is
selected, and which checks whether there is a DSA switch driver
instance attached to this network device which uses the old tag format.
If so, it sets the protocol field to ETH_P_DSA without looking at the
packet, so that the packet ends up in the right place.

I guess it should return -EADDRNOTAVAIL similar to eth_mac_addr()
when validation fails.

Michael Chan 7ffc49a6ee [ETH]: Combine format_addr() with print_mac().
print_mac() used many most net drivers and format_addr() used by
net-sysfs.c are very similar and they can be intergrated.

format_addr() is also identically redefined in the qla4xxx iscsi
driver.

Export a new function sysfs_format_mac() to be used by net-sysfs,
qla4xxx and others in the future.  Both print_mac() and
sysfs_format_mac() call _format_mac_addr() to do the formatting.

Changed print_mac() to use unsigned char * to be consistent with
net_device struct's dev_addr.  Added buffer length overrun checking
as suggested by Joe Perches.

Since hardware header operations are part of the protocol class
not the device instance, make them into a separate object and

Add inline for common usage of hardware header creation, and
fix bug in IPV6 mcast where the assumption about negative return is
an errno. Negative return from hard_header means not enough space
was available,(ie -N bytes).

Stephen Hemminger 23f1f4eff8 [NET] ethernet: optimize memcpy and memset
The ethernet header management only needs to handle a fixed
size address (6 bytes). If the memcpy/memset are changed to
be passed a constant length, then compiler can optimize for
this case (and if it is smart eliminate string instructions).

Peter P Waskiewicz Jr f25f4e4480 [CORE] Stack changes to add multiqueue hardware support API
Add the multiqueue hardware device support API to the core network
stack.  Allow drivers to allocate multiple queues and manage them at
the netdev level if they choose to do so.

Added a new field to sk_buff, namely queue_mapping, for drivers to
know which tx_ring to select based on OS classification of the flow.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 459a98ed88 [SK_BUFF]: Introduce skb_reset_mac_header(skb)
For the common, open coded 'skb->mac.raw = skb->data' operation, so that we can
later turn skb->mac.raw into a offset, reducing the size of struct sk_buff in
64bit land while possibly keeping it as a pointer on 32bit.

This one touches just the most simple case, next will handle the slightly more
"complex" cases.
