Drivers should avoid NETDEV_TX_BUSY as much as possible.
They should stop the tx queue before qdisc even tries to push another
packet, to avoid requeues.
For a driver supporting skb->xmit_more, this is likely to be a prereq
anyway, otherwise we could have a tx deadlock : We need to force a
doorbell if TX ring is full.

GENET MAC has three Tx ring priority registers:
- GENET_x_TDMA_PRIORITY0 for queues 0-5
- GENET_x_TDMA_PRIORITY1 for queues 6-11
- GENET_x_TDMA_PRIORITY2 for queues 12-16
Fix bcmgenet_init_multiq() to program them correctly.

Adjust fixed_phy_register() to return struct phy_device *, so that
it becomes easy to use fixed PHYs without device tree support:
phydev = fixed_phy_register(PHY_POLL, &fixed_phy_status, NULL);
fixed_phy_set_link_update(phydev, fixed_phy_link_update);
phy_connect_direct(netdev, phydev, handler_fn, phy_interface);
This change is a prerequisite for modifying bcmgenet driver to work
without a device tree on Broadcom's MIPS-based 7xxx platforms.

net sched rcu updates
This fixes the use of tcf_proto from RCU callbacks it requires
moving the unbind calls out of the callbacks and removing the
tcf_proto argument from the tcf_em_tree_destroy().
This is a rework of two previous series and addresses comments
from Cong. And should apply against latest net-next.

Using the tcf_proto pointer 'tp' from inside the classifiers callback
is not valid because it may have been cleaned up by another call_rcu
occuring on another CPU.
'tp' is currently being used by tcf_unbind_filter() in this patch we
move instances of tcf_unbind_filter outside of the call_rcu() context.
This is safe to do because any running schedulers will either read the
valid class field or it will be zeroed.
And all schedulers today when the class is 0 do a lookup using the
same call used by the tcf_exts_bind(). So even if we have a running
classifier hit the null class pointer it will do a lookup and get
to the same result. This is particularly fragile at the moment because
the only way to verify this is to audit the schedulers call sites.

Some TSO engines might have a too heavy setup cost, that impacts
performance on hosts sending small bursts (2 MSS per packet).
This patch adds a device gso_min_segs, allowing drivers to set
a minimum segment size for TSO packets, according to the NIC
performance.
Tested on a mlx4 NIC, this allows to get a ~110% increase of
throughput when sending 2 MSS per packet.

This number is zero in a General Query or a Group-Specific Query,

Therefore, reflect that by using kfree_skb() instead of consume_skb().

Earlier change to use usable slave array for TLB mode had an additional
performance advantage. So extending the same logic to all other modes
that use xmit-hash for slave selection (viz 802.3AD, and XOR modes).
Also consolidating this with the earlier TLB change.
The main idea is to build the usable slaves array in the control path
and use that array for slave selection during xmit operation.
Measured performance in a setup with a bond of 4x1G NICs with 200
instances of netperf for the modes involved (3ad, xor, tlb)

net/mlx4_en: Optimizations to TX flow
This patchset contains optimizations to TX flow in mlx4_en driver. It also introduce
setting/getting tx copybreak, to enable controlling inline threshold dynamically.
TX flow optimizations was authored and posted to the mailing list by Eric
Dumazet [1] as a single patch. I splitted this patch to smaller patches,
Reviewed it and tested.
Changed from original patch:
- s/iowrite32be/iowrite32/, since ring->doorbell_qpn is stored as be32
The tx copybreak patch was also suggested by Eric Dumazet, and was edited and
reviewed by me. User space patch will be sent after kernel code is ready.
I am sending this patchset now since the merge window is near and don't want to
miss it.
More work need to do:
- Disable BF when xmit_more is in use
- Make TSO use xmit_more too. Maybe by splitting small TSO packets in the
driver itself, to avoid extra cpu/memory costs of GSO before the driver
- Fix mlx4_en_xmit buggy handling of queue full in the middle of a burst
partially posted to send queue using xmit_more
Eric, I edited the patches to have you as the Author and the first
signed-off-by. I hope it is ok with you (I wasn't sure if it is ok to sign by
you), anyway all the credit to those changes should go to you.
Patchset was tested and applied over commit 1e203c1 "(net: sched:

Instead of setting inline threshold using module parameter only on
driver load, use set_tunable() to set it dynamically.
No need to store the threshold per ring, using instead the netdev global
priv->prof->inline_thold
Initial value still is set using the module parameter, therefore
backward compatability is kept.

Standard qdisc API to setup a timer implies an atomic operation on every
packet dequeue : qdisc_unthrottled()
It turns out this is not really needed for FQ, as FQ has no concept of
global qdisc throttling, being a qdisc handling many different flows,
some of them can be throttled, while others are not.
Fix is straightforward : add a 'bool throttle' to
qdisc_watchdog_schedule_ns(), and remove calls to qdisc_unthrottled()
in sch_fq.

The Openvswitch implementation is completely agnostic to the options
that are in use and can handle newly defined options without
further work. It does this by simply matching on a byte array
of options and allowing userspace to setup flows on this array.

As the size of the flow key grows, it can put some pressure on the
stack. This is particularly true in ovs_flow_cmd_set(), which needs several
copies of the key on the stack. One of those uses is logically separate,
so this factors it out to reduce stack pressure and improve readibility.

Currently, the flow information that is matched for tunnels and
the tunnel data passed around with packets is the same. However,
as additional information is added this is not necessarily desirable,
as in the case of pointers.
This adds a new structure for tunnel metadata which currently contains
only the existing struct. This change is purely internal to the kernel
since the current OVS_KEY_ATTR_IPV4_TUNNEL is simply a compressed version
of OVS_KEY_ATTR_TUNNEL that is translated at flow setup.

As new protocols are added, the size of the flow key tends to
increase although few protocols care about all of the fields. In
order to optimize this for hashing and matching, OVS uses a variable
length portion of the key. However, when fields are extracted from
the packet we must still zero out the entire key.
This is no longer necessary now that OVS implements masking. Any
fields (or holes in the structure) which are not part of a given
protocol will be by definition not part of the mask and zeroed out
during lookup. Furthermore, since masking already uses variable
length keys this zeroing operation automatically benefits as well.
In principle, the only thing that needs to be done at this point
is remove the memset() at the beginning of flow. However, some
fields assume that they are initialized to zero, which now must be
done explicitly. In addition, in the event of an error we must also
zero out corresponding fields to signal that there is no valid data
present. These increase the total amount of code but very little of
it is executed in non-error situations.
Removing the memset() reduces the profile of ovs_flow_extract()
from 0.64% to 0.56% when tested with large packets on a 10G link.

This adds a device level support for Geneve -- Generic Network
Virtualization Encapsulation. The protocol is documented at
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-gross-geneve-01
Only protocol layer Geneve support is provided by this driver.
Openvswitch can be used for configuring, set up and tear down
functional Geneve tunnels.
