Currently each driver that is capable of vlan hardware acceleration
must be aware of the vlan groups that are configured and then pass
the stripped tag to a specialized receive function. This is
different from other types of hardware offload in that it places a
significant amount of knowledge in the driver itself rather keeping
it in the networking core.
This makes vlan offloading function more similarly to other forms
of offloading (such as checksum offloading or TSO) by doing the
following:
* On receive, stripped vlans are passed directly to the network
core, without attempting to check for vlan groups or reconstructing
the header if no group
* vlans are made less special by folding the logic into the main
receive routines
* On transmit, the device layer will add the vlan header in software
if the hardware doesn't support it, instead of spreading that logic
out in upper layers, such as bonding.
There are a number of advantages to this:
* Fixes all bugs with drivers incorrectly dropping vlan headers at once.
* Avoids having to disable VLAN acceleration when in promiscuous mode
(good for bridging since it always puts devices in promiscuous mode).
* Keeps VLAN tag separate until given to ultimate consumer, which
avoids needing to do header reconstruction as in tg3 unless absolutely
necessary.
* Consolidates common code in core networking.

Currently users of hardware vlan accleration need to know whether
the device supports it before generating packets. However, vlan
acceleration will soon be available in a more flexible manner so
knowing ahead of time becomes much more difficult. This adds
a software fallback path for vlan packets on devices without the
necessary offloading support, similar to other types of hardware
accleration.

Do not set num_rx_queues in netif_set_real_num_rx_queues() some
drivers will increase the real_num_rx_queues later due to a feature
changes or available interrupts increasing. By setting num_rx_queues
here this ends up creating a cap on the number of rx queues
available.
For example the ixgbe driver sets the max number of queues it intends
to use ever then sets the current number in use with the
netif_set_num_{rx|tx}_queues calls. With the current implementation
the number of rx queues gets limited so when a feature such as DCB
or FCoE is enabled the queues are no longer available.
kobjects will only be allocated for real_num_rx_queues so the waste
in memory is minimal.

In various situations, a device provides a packet to our stack and we
drop it before it enters protocol stack :
- softnet backlog full (accounted in /proc/net/softnet_stat)
- bad vlan tag (not accounted)
- unknown/unregistered protocol (not accounted)
We can handle a per-device counter of such dropped frames at core level,
and automatically adds it to the device provided stats (rx_dropped), so
that standard tools can be used (ifconfig, ip link, cat /proc/net/dev)
This is a generalization of commit 8990f468a (net: rx_dropped

For RPS, we create a kobject for each RX queue based on the number of
queues passed to alloc_netdev_mq(). However, drivers generally do not
determine the numbers of hardware queues to use until much later, so
this usually represents the maximum number the driver may use and not
the actual number in use.
For TX queues, drivers can update the actual number using
netif_set_real_num_tx_queues(). Add a corresponding function for RX
queues, netif_set_real_num_rx_queues().

When a net device is implementing the select_queue callback and is part of
a bridge, frames coming from the bridge already have a tx queue associated
to the socket (introduced in commit a4ee3ce329,
"net: Use sk_tx_queue_mapping for connected sockets"). The call to
sk_tx_queue_get will then return the tx queue used by the bridge instead
of calling the select_queue callback.
In case of mac80211 this broke QoS which is implemented by using the
select_queue callback. Furthermore it introduced problems with rt2x00
because frames with the same TID and RA sometimes appeared on different
tx queues which the hw cannot handle correctly.
Fix this by always calling select_queue first if it is available and only
afterwards use the socket tx queue mapping.

Fix problem in reading the tx_queue recorded in a socket. In
dev_pick_tx, the TX queue is read by doing a check with
sk_tx_queue_recorded on the socket, followed by a sk_tx_queue_get.
The problem is that there is not mutual exclusion across these
calls in the socket so it it is possible that the queue in the
sock can be invalidated after sk_tx_queue_recorded is called so
that sk_tx_queue get returns -1, which sets 65535 in queue_index
and thus dev_pick_tx returns 65536 which is a bogus queue and
can cause crash in dev_queue_xmit.
We fix this by only calling sk_tx_queue_get which does the proper
checks. The interface is that sk_tx_queue_get returns the TX queue
if the sock argument is non-NULL and TX queue is recorded, else it
returns -1. sk_tx_queue_recorded is no longer used so it can be
completely removed.
