gianfar: code cleanup
This patch relates to "[PATCH] gainfar.c : skb_over_panic
(kernel-2.6.32.15)"
While in 2.6.32.15 it actually fixed a bug here it merely cleans up
the previous attempts to fix the bug with a more coherent code.
Currently before queuing skb into the rx_recycle it is
"un-skb_reserve"-ed so when taken out in gfar_new_skb() it wont be
reserved twice.
This patch makes sure the alignment skb_reserve is done once, upon
allocating the skb and not when taken out of the rx_recycle
pool. Eliminating the need to undo anything before queue skb back to
the pool.
NOTE: This patch will compile and is fairly straight forward but I do
not have environment to test it as I did with the 2.6.32.15 fix.

net: fix 64 bit counters on 32 bit arches
There is a small possibility that a reader gets incorrect values on 32
bit arches. SNMP applications could catch incorrect counters when a
32bit high part is changed by another stats consumer/provider.
One way to solve this is to add a rtnl_link_stats64 param to all
ndo_get_stats64() methods, and also add such a parameter to
dev_get_stats().
Rule is that we are not allowed to use dev->stats64 as a temporary
storage for 64bit stats, but a caller provided area (usually on stack)
Old drivers (only providing get_stats() method) need no changes.

s2io: resolve statistics issues
This patch resolves a number of issues in the statistics gathering of
the s2io driver.
On Xframe adapters, the received multicast statistics counter includes
pause frames which are not indicated to the driver. This can cause
issues where the multicast packet count is higher than what has actually
been received, possibly higher than the number of packets received.
The driver software counters are replaced with the adapter hardware
statistics for rx_packets, rx_bytes, and tx_bytes. It also uses the
overflow registers to determine if the statistics wrapped the 32bit
register (removing the window of having a statistic value less than the
previous call). rx_length_errors statistic now includes undersized
packets in addition to oversized packets in its counting. Finally,
rx_crc_errors are now being counted.

net: decreasing real_num_tx_queues needs to flush qdisc
Reducing real_num_queues needs to flush the qdisc otherwise
skbs with queue_mappings greater then real_num_tx_queues can
be sent to the underlying driver.
The flow for this is,
dev_queue_xmit()
dev_pick_tx()
skb_tx_hash() => hash using real_num_tx_queues
skb_set_queue_mapping()
...
qdisc_enqueue_root() => enqueue skb on txq from hash
...
dev->real_num_tx_queues -= n
...
sch_direct_xmit()
dev_hard_start_xmit()
ndo_start_xmit(skb,dev) => skb queue set with old hash
skbs are enqueued on the qdisc with skb->queue_mapping set
0 < queue_mappings < real_num_tx_queues. When the driver
decreases real_num_tx_queues skb's may be dequeued from the
qdisc with a queue_mapping greater then real_num_tx_queues.
This fixes a case in ixgbe where this was occurring with DCB

skbs to tx descriptor rings we can potentially map skbs to
rings that no longer exist.

bonding: check if clients MAC addr has changed
When two systems using bonding devices in adaptive load
balancing (ALB) communicates with each other, an endless
ping-pong of ARP replies starts between these two systems.
What happens? In the ALB mode, bonding driver keeps track
of each client connected in a hash table, so it can do the
receive load balancing (RLB). This hash table is updated
when an ARP reply is received, then it scans for the client
entry, updates its MAC address and flag it to be announced
later. Therefore, two seconds later, the alb monitor runs
and send for each updated client entry two ARP replies
updating this specific client. The same process happens on
the receiving system, causing the endless ping-pong of arp
replies.
See more information including the relevant functions below:
System 1 System 2

<--------- ARP reply
+->rlb_arp_recv <---------------------+ <--- loop begins
| rlb_update_entry_from_arp |
| client_info->ntt = 1; |
| bond_info->rx_ntt = 1; |
| |
| <communication succeed> |

| bond_alb_monitor |
| rlb_update_rx_clients |

| rlb_update_entry_from_arp
| client_info->ntt = 1;
| bond_info->rx_ntt = 1;
| < snipped, same as in system 1>
+------- <-------------- send ARP reply
<-------------- send ARP reply
Besides the unneeded networking traffic, this loop breaks
a cluster because a backup system can't take over the IP
address. There is always one system sending an ARP reply
poisoning the network.
This patch fixes the problem adding a check for the MAC
address before updating it. Thus, if the MAC address didn't
change, there is no need to update neither to announce it later.

fragment: add fast path for in-order fragments
add fast path for in-order fragments
As the fragments are sent in order in most of OSes, such as Windows, Darwin and
FreeBSD, it is likely the new fragments are at the end of the inet_frag_queue.
In the fast path, we check if the skb at the end of the inet_frag_queue is the
prev we expect.
