      net: Implement simple sw TX hashing. · 8f0f2223
      David S. Miller authored 
      It just xor hashes over IPv4/IPv6 addresses and ports of transport.

The only assumption it makes is that skb_network_header() is set
correctly.

With bug fixes from Eric Dumazet.

      mac80211: Reimplement WME using ->select_queue(). · 51cb6db0
      David S. Miller authored 
      The only behavior change is that we do not drop packets under any
circumstances.  If that is absolutely needed, we could easily add it
back.

With cleanups and help from Johannes Berg.

      netdev: Add netdev->select_queue() method. · eae792b7
      David S. Miller authored 
      Devices or device layers can set this to control the queue selection
performed by dev_pick_tx().

This function runs under RCU protection, which allows overriding
functions to have some way of synchronizing with things like dynamic
->real_num_tx_queues adjustments.

This makes the spinlock prefetch in dev_queue_xmit() a little bit
less effective, but that's the price right now for correctness.

      netdev: netdev_priv() can now be sane again. · e3c50d5d
      David S. Miller authored 
      The private area of a netdev is now at a fixed offset once more.

Unfortunately, some assumptions that netdev_priv() == netdev->priv
crept back into the tree.  In particular this happened in the
loopback driver.  Make it use netdev->ml_priv.

      net: Use queue aware tests throughout. · fd2ea0a7
      David S. Miller authored 
      This effectively "flips the switch" by making the core networking
and multiqueue-aware drivers use the new TX multiqueue structures.

Non-multiqueue drivers need no changes.  The interfaces they use such
as netif_stop_queue() degenerate into an operation on TX queue zero.
So everything "just works" for them.

Code that really wants to do "X" to all TX queues now invokes a
routine that does so, such as netif_tx_wake_all_queues(),
netif_tx_stop_all_queues(), etc.

pktgen and netpoll required a little bit more surgery than the others.

In particular the pktgen changes, whilst functional, could be largely
improved.  The initial check in pktgen_xmit() will sometimes check the
wrong queue, which is mostly harmless.  The thing to do is probably to
invoke fill_packet() earlier.

The bulk of the netpoll changes is to make the code operate solely on
the TX queue indicated by by the SKB queue mapping.

Setting of the SKB queue mapping is entirely confined inside of
net/core/dev.c:dev_pick_tx().  If we end up needing any kind of
special semantics (drops, for example) it will be implemented here.

Finally, we now have a "real_num_tx_queues" which is where the driver
indicates how many TX queues are actually active.

With IGB changes from Jeff Kirsher.

      pkt_sched: Remove RR scheduler. · 1d8ae3fd
      David S. Miller authored 
      This actually fixes a bug added by the RR scheduler changes.  The
->bands and ->prio2band parameters were being set outside of the
sch_tree_lock() and thus could result in strange behavior and
inconsistencies.

It might be possible, in the new design (where there will be one qdisc
per device TX queue) to allow similar functionality via a TX hash
algorithm for RR but I really see no reason to export this aspect of
how these multiqueue cards actually implement the scheduling of the
the individual DMA TX rings and the single physical MAC/PHY port.

      netdev: Kill NETIF_F_MULTI_QUEUE. · 09e83b5d
      David S. Miller authored 
      There is no need for a feature bit for something that
can be tested by simply checking the TX queue count.

      netdev: Allocate multiple queues for TX. · e8a0464c
      David S. Miller authored 
      alloc_netdev_mq() now allocates an array of netdev_queue
structures for TX, based upon the queue_count argument.

Furthermore, all accesses to the TX queues are now vectored
through the netdev_get_tx_queue() and netdev_for_each_tx_queue()
interfaces.  This makes it easy to grep the tree for all
things that want to get to a TX queue of a net device.

Problem spots which are not really multiqueue aware yet, and
only work with one queue, can easily be spotted by grepping
for all netdev_get_tx_queue() calls that pass in a zero index.
