Steffen Klassert 7f564528a4 skbuff: Extend gso_type to unsigned int.
All available gso_type flags are currently in use, so
extend gso_type from 'unsigned short' to 'unsigned int'
to be able to add further flags.

We reorder the struct skb_shared_info to use
two bytes of the four byte hole before dataref.
All fields before dataref are cleared, i.e.
four bytes more than before the change.

The remaining two byte hole is moved to the
beginning of the structure, this protects us
from immediate overwites on out of bound writes
to the sk_buff head.

Structure layout on x86-64 before the change:

struct skb_shared_info {
	unsigned char              nr_frags;             /*     0     1 */
	__u8                       tx_flags;             /*     1     1 */
	short unsigned int         gso_size;             /*     2     2 */
	short unsigned int         gso_segs;             /*     4     2 */
	short unsigned int         gso_type;             /*     6     2 */
	struct sk_buff *           frag_list;            /*     8     8 */
	struct skb_shared_hwtstamps hwtstamps;           /*    16     8 */
	u32                        tskey;                /*    24     4 */
	__be32                     ip6_frag_id;          /*    28     4 */
	atomic_t                   dataref;              /*    32     4 */

	/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

	void *                     destructor_arg;       /*    40     8 */
	skb_frag_t                 frags[17];            /*    48   272 */
	/* --- cacheline 5 boundary (320 bytes) --- */

	/* size: 320, cachelines: 5, members: 12 */
	/* sum members: 316, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */
};

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
