Zero copy TX has been around for a while now.
We seem to be down to eliminating theoretical bugs
and performance tuning at this point:
it's probably time to enable it by default so that
most users get the benefit.
Keep the flag around meanwhile so users can experiment
with disabling this if they experience regressions.
I expect that we will remove it in the future.

For short packets zerocopy mode adds overhead
of managing heads which isn't necessary: we
could simly update used ring directly
same as with zerocopy disabled.
Things seem to run a bit faster if we detect
and bypass head management when zcopy isn't used.

When memory map changes, we need to flush outstanding
DMAs as they might in theory reference old memory addresses.
To do this simply stop initiating new DMAs
and wait for ubufs ref count to drop to 0.
Afterwards reset the count back to 1.

vring changes already do a flush internally where appropriate, so we do
not need a second flush.
It's currently not very expensive but a follow-up patch makes flush more
heavy-weight, so remove the extra flush here to avoid regressing
performance if call or kick fds are changed on data path.

unres_qlen_bytes and unres_qlen are int type.
But multiple relation(unres_qlen_bytes = unres_qlen * SKB_TRUESIZE(ETH_FRAME_LEN))
will cause type overflow when seting unres_qlen. e.g.
$ echo 1027506 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/eth1/unres_qlen
$ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/eth1/unres_qlen
1182657265
$ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/eth1/unres_qlen_bytes
-2147479756
The gutted value is not that we setting。
But user/administrator don't know this is caused by int type overflow.
what's more, it is meaningless and even dangerous that unres_qlen_bytes is set
with negative number. Because, for unresolved neighbour address, kernel will cache packets
without limit in __neigh_event_send()(e.g. (u32)-1 = 2GB).

When a new nic is created in namespace ns1, the kernel sends a KOBJ_ADD uevent
to ns1. When the nic is moved to ns2, we only send a KOBJ_MOVE to ns2, and
nothing to ns1.
This patch changes that behavior so that when moving a nic from ns1 to ns2, we
send a KOBJ_REMOVED to ns1 and KOBJ_ADD to ns2. (The KOBJ_MOVE is still
sent to ns2).
The effects of this can be seen when starting and stopping containers in
an upstart based host. Lxc will create a pair of veth nics, the kernel
sends KOBJ_ADD, and upstart starts network-instance jobs for each. When
one nic is moved to the container, because no KOBJ_REMOVED event is
received, the network-instance job for that veth never goes away. This
was reported at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/+bug/1065589
With this patch the networ-instance jobs properly go away.
The other oddness solved here is that if a nic is passed into a running
upstart-based container, without this patch no network-instance job is
started in the container. But when the container creates a new nic
itself (ip link add new type veth) then network-interface jobs are
created. With this patch, behavior comes in line with a regular host.
v2: also send KOBJ_ADD to new netns. There will then be a
_MOVE event from the device_rename() call, but that should
be innocuous.

This patch adds the ptp_caps structure, ptp api implementation,
reference clock read and register/unregister functions. All the basic
clock operations as described in Documentation/ptp/ptp.txt are
supported.
Frequency adjustment is performed using hardware with a 24 bit
accumulator and a programmable correction value. On each clk, the
correction value gets added to the accumulator and when it overflows,
the time counter is incremented/decremented and the accumulator reset.
So conversion from ppb to correction value is
ppb * (1 << 24) / 1000000000

I believe this commit from 2008 was incorrect:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commitdiff;h=398bcbebb6f721ac308df1e3d658c0029bb74503
When CONFIG_IPV6_ROUTER_PREF is disabled, the kernel should follow
RFC4861 section 6.3.6: if no route is NUD_VALID, then traffic should be
sprayed across all routers (indirectly triggering NUD) until one of them
becomes NUD_VALID.
However, the following experiment demonstrates that this does not work:
1) Connect to an IPv6 network.
2) Change the router's MAC (and link-local) address.
The kernel will lock onto the first router and never try the new one, even
if the first becomes unreachable. This patch fixes the problem by
allowing rt6_check_neigh() to return 0; if all routers return 0, then
rt6_select() will fall back to round-robin behavior.
This patch should have no effect when CONFIG_IPV6_ROUTER_PREF=y.
Note that rt6_check_neigh() is only used in a boolean context, so I've
changed its return type accordingly.

Historically tun supported two modes of operation:
- in default mode, a small number of packets would get queued
at the device, the rest would be queued in qdisc
- in one queue mode, all packets would get queued at the device
This might have made sense up to a point where we made the
queue depth for both modes the same and set it to
a huge value (500) so unless the consumer
is stuck the chance of losing packets is small.
Thus in practice both modes behave the same, but the
default mode has some problems:
- if packets are never consumed, fragments are never orphaned
which cases a DOS for sender using zero copy transmit
- overrun errors are hard to diagnose: fifo error is incremented
only once so you can not distinguish between
userspace that is stuck and a transient failure,
tcpdump on the device does not show any traffic
Userspace solves this simply by enabling IFF_ONE_QUEUE
but there seems to be little point in not doing the
right thing for everyone, by default.
