sctp: Add buffer utilization fields to /proc/net/sctp/assocs
This patch adds the following fields to /proc/net/sctp/assocs output:
- sk->sk_wmem_alloc as "wmema" (transmit queue bytes committed)
- sk->sk_wmem_queued as "wmemq" (persistent queue size)
- sk->sk_sndbuf as "sndbuf" (size of send buffer in bytes)
- sk->sk_rcvbuf as "rcvbuf" (size of receive buffer in bytes)
When small DATA chunks containing 136 bytes data are sent the TX_QUEUE
(assoc->sndbuf_used) reaches a maximum of 40.9% of sk_sndbuf value when
peer.rwnd = 0. This was diagnosed from sk_wmem_alloc value reaching maximum
value of sk_sndbuf.
TX_QUEUE (assoc->sndbuf_used), sk_wmem_alloc and sk_wmem_queued values are
incremented in sctp_set_owner_w() for outgoing data chunks. Having access to
the above values in /proc/net/sctp/assocs will provide a better understanding
of SCTP buffer management.
With patch applied, example output when peer.rwnd = 0
where:

Implemented separate irq handling for edge and level type interrupt
configuration. For edge type interrupts calls to disable_irq_nosync()
and enable_irq() are removed. The at86rf230 resets the irq line only
after the irq status register is read. Disabling the irq can lock the
driver in situations where a irq is set by the radio while the driver
is still reading the frame buffer.
With irq_type configuration set to 0 the original behavior is
preserverd.
Additional the irq filter register is set to filter out all unused
interrupts and the irq status register is read in the probe
function to clear the irq line.

Current dev_[uc|mc]_addr_sync() API currently correctly syncs the
addresses to the first device. Any subsequent calls to sync will
not do anything since the synched variable will be set. This
variable is used as an optimization to skip over addresses that have
been synched.
There are some devices (ex: team) that attempt to do the above. There
is other work in progress that needs to above to work corretly.
The short series introduces dev_[uc|mc]_addr_synch_multiple() that
allows multiple calls to sync to multiple different devices. Original

The current implementation of dev_uc_sync/unsync() assumes that there is
a strict 1-to-1 relationship between the source and destination of the sync.
In other words, once an address has been synced to a destination device, it
will not be synced to any other device through the sync API.
However, there are some virtual devices that aggreate a number of lower
devices and need to sync addresses to all of them. The current
API falls short there.
This patch introduces a new dev_uc_sync_multiple() api that can be called
in the above circumstances and allows sync to work for every invocation.

I noticed that TSQ (TCP Small queues) was less effective when TSO is
turned off, and GSO is on. If BQL is not enabled, TSQ has then no
effect.
It turns out the GSO engine frees the original gso_skb at the time the
fragments are generated and queued to the NIC.
We should instead call the tcp_wfree() destructor for the last fragment,
to keep the flow control as intended in TSQ. This effectively limits
the number of queued packets on qdisc + NIC layers.

The different steering modes are global to the device, with DMFS
being introduced after SRIOV was merged. Hence, SRIOV guests running
legacy / older Linux kernels or non-Linux drivers may provide
B0 steering directives when the hypervisor is using DMFS and fail.
Under B0 only L2 steering rules are allowed, hence B0 is a subset of DMFS.
Use this fact to enable such legacy guests to run by modifying the SRIOV
B0 steering wrapper to translate guest B0 directives to DMFS ones when
the device uses DMFS. The translated B0 rule has to be kept in the
resource tracker as a B0 object to allow for lookup in case of detach.

The link change is detected via the interrupt pipe, and bulk
pipes are responsible for transfering packets, so it is reasonable
to stop bulk transfer after link is reported as off.
Two adavantages may be obtained with stopping bulk transfer
after link becomes off:
- USB bus bandwidth is saved(USB bus is shared bus except for
USB3.0), for example, lots of 'IN' token packets and 'NYET'
handshake packets is transfered on 2.0 bus.
- probabaly power might be saved for usb host controller since
cancelling bulk transfer may disable the asynchronous schedule of
host controller.
With this patch, when link becomes off, about ~10% performance
boost can be found on bulk transfer of anther usb device which
is attached to same bus with the usbnet device, see below
