Since all the memory, which pointed by netdev->priv, are allocated in advance instead of by alloc_netdev(). Use netdev->ml_priv to point to those memory. Signed-off-by: Wang Chen <wangchen@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

1. When alloc_etherdev(), no memory be allocated to netdev->priv. 2. And it's need to get a whole page for priv. For these reasons, use netdev->ml_priv to point to the page is the best method to convert directly reference of netdev->priv.

SKF_AD_NLATTR allows us to find the first matching attribute in a stream of netlink attributes from one offset to the end of the netlink message. This is not suitable to look for a specific matching inside a set of nested attributes. For example, in ctnetlink messages, if we look for the CTA_V6_SRC attribute in a message that talks about an IPv4 connection, SKF_AD_NLATTR returns the offset of CTA_STATUS which has the same value of CTA_V6_SRC but outside the nest. To differenciate CTA_STATUS and CTA_V6_SRC, we would have to make assumptions on the size of the attribute and the usual offset, resulting in horrible BSF code. This patch adds SKF_AD_NLATTR_NEST, which is a variant of SKF_AD_NLATTR, that looks for an attribute inside the limits of a nested attributes, but not further. This patch validates that we have enough room to look for the nested attributes - based on a suggestion from Patrick McHardy.

When suspending the device the ring structure is freed which causes it to loose track of the count. To resolve this we need to move the ring count outside of the ring structure and store it in the adapter struct. In addition to resolving the suspend/resume issue this patch also addresses issues seen in the event of memory allocation errors causing uneven ring sizes on multiple queues.

This update replaces the xchg calls that were added with a pair of assignments as there is no need for the xchg calls and they were found to cause issues on some architectures.

This patch prepares RCU migration of listening_hash table for TCP/DCCP protocols. listening_hash table being small (32 slots per protocol), we add a spinlock for each slot, instead of a single rwlock for whole table. This should reduce hold time of readers, and writers concurrency. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

In order for the network device ops get_stats call to be immutable, the handling of the default internal network device stats block has to be changed. Add a new helper function which replaces the old use of internal_get_stats. Note: change return code to make it clear that the caller should not go changing the returned statistics.

This patch changes the network device internal API to move adminstrative operations out of the network device structure and into a separate structure. This patch involves some hackery to maintain compatablity between the new and old model, so all 300+ drivers don't have to be changed at once. For drivers that aren't converted yet, the netdevice_ops virt function list still resides in the net_device structure. For old protocols, the new net_device_ops are copied out to the old net_device pointers. After the transistion is completed the nag message can be changed to an WARN_ON, and the compatiablity code can be made configurable. Some function pointers aren't moved: * destructor can't be in net_device_ops because it may need to be referenced after the module is unloaded. * neighbor setup is manipulated in a couple of places that need special consideration * hard_start_xmit is in the fast path for transmit.
