Jiri Pirko 6dab015cf8 team: do RCU update path fixups
Use rcu_access_pointer and rcu_dereference_protected
to access RCU pointer by updater.
Use RCU_INIT_POINTER for NULL assignment of RCU pointer.

I didn't notice that these were superceded by a more uptodate
version of the changes.

Jiri Pirko d1904fbd88 team: use rcu_dereference_bh() in tx path
Should be used instead of rcu_dereference, since rcu_read_lock_bh is
held.

Jiri Pirko 80f7c6683f team: add support for per-port options
This patch allows to create per-port options. That becomes handy for all
sorts of stuff, for example for userspace driven link-state, 802.3ad
implementation and so on.

Eric Dumazet 2cfa5a0471 net: treewide use of RCU_INIT_POINTER
rcu_assign_pointer(ptr, NULL) can be safely replaced by
RCU_INIT_POINTER(ptr, NULL)

(old rcu_assign_pointer() macro was testing the NULL value and could
omit the smp_wmb(), but this had to be removed because of compiler
warnings)

Jiri Pirko 358b838291 team: replicate options on register
Since multiple team instances are putting defined options into their
option list, during register each option must be cloned before added
into list. This resolves uncool memory corruptions when using multiple
teams.

Jiri Pirko 3d249d4ca7 net: introduce ethernet teaming device
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.
