None of these files are actually using any __init type directives
and hence don't need to include <linux/init.h>. Most are just a
left over from __devinit and __cpuinit removal, or simply due to
code getting copied from one driver to the next.
This covers everything under drivers/net except for wireless, which
has been submitted separately.

Macvtap device currently doesn not allow a user to capture
traffic on due to the fact that it steals the packets
from the network stack before the skb->dev is set correctly
on the receive side, and that use uses macvlan transmit
path directly on the send side. As a result, we never
get a change to give traffic to the taps while the correct
device is set in the skb.
This patch makes macvtap device behave almost exaclty like
macvlan. On the send side, we switch to using dev_queue_xmit().
On the receive side, to deliver packets to macvtap, we now
use netif_rx and dev_forward_skb just like macvlan. The only
differnce now is that macvtap has its own rx_handler which is
attached to the macvtap netdev. It is here that we now steal
the packet and provide it to the socket.
As a result, we can now capture traffic on the macvtap device:
tcpdump -i macvtap0
It also gives us the abilit to add tc actions to the macvtap
device and actually utilize different bandwidth management
queues on output.

Currently macvlan will count received packets after calling each
vlans receive handler. Macvtap attempts to count the packet
yet again when the user reads the packet from the tap socket.
This code doesn't do this consistently either. Remove the
counting from macvtap and let only macvlan count received
packets.

We currently use hdr_len as a hint of head length which is advertised by
guest. But when guest advertise a very big value, it can lead to an 64K+
allocating of kmalloc() which has a very high possibility of failure when host
memory is fragmented or under heavy stress. The huge hdr_len also reduce the
effect of zerocopy or even disable if a gso skb is linearized in guest.
To solves those issues, this patch introduces an upper limit (PAGE_SIZE) of the
head, which guarantees an order 0 allocation each time.

In macvtap, tap_features specific the features of that the user
has specified via ioctl(). If we treat macvtap as a macvlan+tap
then we could all the tap a pseudo-device and give it other features
like SG and GSO. Then we can stop using the features of lower
device (macvlan) when forwarding the traffic the tap.
This solves the issue of possible checksum offload mismatch between
tap feature and macvlan features.

Adding paged frags skbs to af_unix sockets introduced a performance
regression on large sends because of additional page allocations, even
if each skb could carry at least 100% more payload than before.
We can instruct sock_alloc_send_pskb() to attempt high order
allocations.
Most of the time, it does a single page allocation instead of 8.
I added an additional parameter to sock_alloc_send_pskb() to
let other users to opt-in for this new feature on followup patches.

We try to linearize part of the skb when the number of iov is greater than
MAX_SKB_FRAGS. This is not enough since each single vector may occupy more than
one pages, so zerocopy_sg_fromiovec() may still fail and may break the guest
network.
Solve this problem by calculate the pages needed for iov before trying to do
zerocopy and switch to use copy instead of zerocopy if it needs more than
MAX_SKB_FRAGS.
This is done through introducing a new helper to count the pages for iov, and
call uarg->callback() manually when switching from zerocopy to copy to notify
vhost.
We can do further optimization on top.

Userspace may produce vectors greater than MAX_SKB_FRAGS. When we try to
linearize parts of the skb to let the rest of iov to be fit in
the frags, we need count copylen into linear when calling macvtap_alloc_skb()
instead of partly counting it into data_len. Since this breaks
zerocopy_sg_from_iovec() since its inner counter assumes nr_frags should
be zero at beginning. This cause nr_frags to be increased wrongly without
setting the correct frags.
This bug were introduced from b92946e2919134ebe2a4083e4302236295ea2a73

Macvtap uses a private lock to protect the relationship between
macvtap_queue and macvlan_dev. The private lock is not needed
since the relationship is managed by user via open(), release(),
and dellink() calls. dellink() already happens under rtnl, so
we can safely convert open() and release(), and use it in ioctl()
as well.

Linear search were used in both get_slot() and macvtap_get_queue(), this is
because:
- macvtap didn't reshuffle the array of taps when create or destroy a queue, so
when adding a new queue, macvtap must do linear search to find a location for
the new queue. This will also complicate the TUNSETQUEUE implementation for
multiqueue API.
- the queue itself didn't track the queue index, so the we must do a linear
search in the array to find the location of a existed queue.
The solution is straightforward: reshuffle the array and introduce a queue_index
to macvtap_queue.

Patch cef401de7be8c4e (net: fix possible wrong checksum
generation) fixed wrong checksum calculation but it broke TSO by
defining new GSO type but not a netdev feature for that type.
net_gso_ok() would not allow hardware checksum/segmentation
offload of such packets without the feature.
Following patch fixes TSO and wrong checksum. This patch uses
same logic that Eric Dumazet used. Patch introduces new flag
SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG if at least one frag can be modified by
the user. but SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG flag is kept in skb shared
info tx_flags rather than gso_type.
tx_flags is better compared to gso_type since we can have skb with
shared frag without gso packet. It does not link SHARED_FRAG to
GSO, So there is no need to define netdev feature for this.

Pravin Shelar mentioned that GSO could potentially generate
wrong TX checksum if skb has fragments that are overwritten
by the user between the checksum computation and transmit.
He suggested to linearize skbs but this extra copy can be
avoided for normal tcp skbs cooked by tcp_sendmsg().
This patch introduces a new SKB_GSO_SHARED_FRAG flag, set
in skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_type if at least one frag can be
modified by the user.
Typical sources of such possible overwrites are {vm}splice(),
sendfile(), and macvtap/tun/virtio_net drivers.

Performance of the SENDFILE is impacted by the extra allocation and
copy, and because we use order-0 pages, while the TCP_STREAM uses
bigger pages.
