did not include needed_tailroom when allocating an skb.  This isn't
a fatal error as we should always tolerate inadequate tail room but
it isn't optimal.

bnx2x uses following formula to compute its rx_buf_sz :

dev->mtu + 2*L1_CACHE_BYTES + 14 + 8 + 8 + 2

Then core network adds NET_SKB_PAD and SKB_DATA_ALIGN(sizeof(struct
skb_shared_info))

Final allocated size for skb head on x86_64 (L1_CACHE_BYTES = 64,
MTU=1500) : 2112 bytes : SLUB/SLAB round this to 4096 bytes.

Since skb truesize is then bigger than SK_MEM_QUANTUM, we have lot of
false sharing because of mem_reclaim in UDP stack.

One possible way to half truesize is to reduce the need by 64 bytes
(2112 -> 2048 bytes)

Instead of allocating a full cache line at the end of packet for
alignment, we can use the fact that skb_shared_info sits at the end of
skb->head, and we can use this room, if we convert bnx2x to new
build_skb() infrastructure.

skb_shared_info will be initialized after hardware finished its
transfert, so we can eventually overwrite the final padding.

Using build_skb() also reduces cache line misses in the driver, since we
use cache hot skb instead of cold ones. Number of in-flight sk_buff
structures is lower, they are recycled while still hot.

Performance results :

(820.000 pps on a rx UDP monothread benchmark, instead of 720.000 pps)

completion time, right before feeding the skb to network stack.

In old days, we allocated skbs when populating the RX ring.

This means bringing into cpu cache sk_buff and skb_shared_info cache
lines (since we clear/initialize them), then 'queue' skb->data to NIC.

By the time NIC fills a frame in skb->data buffer and host can process
it, cpu probably threw away the cache lines from its caches, because lot
of things happened between the allocation and final use.

So the deal would be to allocate only the data buffer for the NIC to
populate its RX ring buffer. And use build_skb() at RX completion to
attach a data buffer (now filled with an ethernet frame) to a new skb,
initialize the skb_shared_info portion, and give the hot skb to network
stack.

build_skb() is the function to allocate an skb, caller providing the
data buffer that should be attached to it. Drivers are expected to call
skb_reserve() right after build_skb() to adjust skb->data to the
Ethernet frame (usually skipping NET_SKB_PAD and NET_IP_ALIGN, but some
drivers might add a hardware provided alignment)

Data provided to build_skb() MUST have been allocated by a prior
kmalloc() call, with enough room to add SKB_DATA_ALIGN(sizeof(struct
skb_shared_info)) bytes at the end of the data without corrupting
incoming frame.

data = kmalloc(NET_SKB_PAD + NET_IP_ALIGN + 1536 +
               SKB_DATA_ALIGN(sizeof(struct skb_shared_info)),
       GFP_ATOMIC);
...
skb = build_skb(data);
if (!skb) {
recycle_data(data);
} else {
skb_reserve(skb, NET_SKB_PAD + NET_IP_ALIGN);
...
}

ipv6: reduce percpu needs for icmpv6msg mibs

Reading /proc/net/snmp6 on a machine with a lot of cpus is very
expensive (can be ~88000 us).

This is because ICMPV6MSG MIB uses 4096 bytes per cpu, and folding
values for all possible cpus can read 16 Mbytes of memory (32MBytes on
non x86 arches)

ICMP messages are not considered as fast path on a typical server, and
eventually few cpus handle them anyway. We can afford an atomic
operation instead of using percpu data.

This saves 4096 bytes per cpu and per network namespace.

net: introduce ethernet teaming device

This patch introduces new network device called team. It supposes to be
very fast, simple, userspace-driven alternative to existing bonding
driver.

Userspace library called libteam with couple of demo apps is available
here:
https://github.com/jpirko/libteam
Note it's still in its dipers atm.

team<->libteam use generic netlink for communication. That and rtnl
suppose to be the only way to configure team device, no sysfs etc.

Python binding of libteam was recently introduced.
Daemon providing arpmon/miimon active-backup functionality will be
introduced shortly. All what's necessary is already implemented in
kernel team driver.

v7->v8:
- check ndo_ndo_vlan_rx_[add/kill]_vid functions before calling
  them.
- use dev_kfree_skb_any() instead of dev_kfree_skb()

v6->v7:
- transmit and receive functions are not checked in hot paths.
  That also resolves memory leak on transmit when no port is
  present

v5->v6:
- changed couple of _rcu calls to non _rcu ones in non-readers

v4->v5:
- team_change_mtu() uses team->lock while travesing though port
  list
- mac address changes are moved completely to jurisdiction of
  userspace daemon. This way the daemon can do FOM1, FOM2 and
  possibly other weird things with mac addresses.
  Only round-robin mode sets up all ports to bond's address then
  enslaved.
- Extended Kconfig text

v3->v4:
- remove redundant synchronize_rcu from __team_change_mode()
- revert "set and clear of mode_ops happens per pointer, not per
  byte"
- extend comment of function __team_change_mode()

v2->v3:
- team_change_mtu() uses rcu version of list traversal to unwind
- set and clear of mode_ops happens per pointer, not per byte
- port hashlist changed to be embedded into team structure
- error branch in team_port_enter() does cleanup now
- fixed rtln->rtnl

v1->v2:
- modes are made as modules. Makes team more modular and
  extendable.
- several commenters' nitpicks found on v1 were fixed
- several other bugs were fixed.
- note I ignored Eric's comment about roundrobin port selector
  as Eric's way may be easily implemented as another mode (mode
  "random") in future.
