Polling 14 mdio devices on single mdio bus eats 30% of 1Ghz cpu time

====================
netvsc: minor fixes and improvements

These are non-critical bug fixes, related to functionality now in net-next.
 1. delaying the automatic bring up of VF device to allow udev to change name.
 2. performance improvement
 3. handle MAC address change with VF; mostly propogate the error that VF gives.
 4. minor cleanups
 5. allow setting send/receive buffer size with ethtool.

stephen hemminger 8b5327975a netvsc: allow controlling send/recv buffer size
Control the size of the buffer areas via ethtool ring settings.
They aren't really traditional hardware rings, but host API breaks
receive and send buffer into chunks. The final size of the chunks are
controlled by the host.

The default value of send and receive buffer area for host DMA
is much larger than it needs to be. Experimentation shows that
4M receive and 1M send is sufficient.

The send and receive buffers are both per-device (not per-channel).
The associated NUMA node is a property of the CPU which is per-channel
therefore it makes no sense to force the receive/send buffer to be
allocated on a particular node (since it is a shared resource).

If VF is slaved to synthetic device, then any change to netvsc
MAC address should be propagated to the slave device.

If slave device doesn't support MAC address change then it
should also be an error to attempt to change synthetic NIC MAC
address.

It also fixes the error unwind in the original code.
If give a bad address, the old code would change the device
MAC address anyway.

====================
net: sched: let the offloader decide what to offload

Currently there is a Qdisc_class_ops->tcf_cl_offload callback
that is called to find out if cls would offload rule or not.
This is only supported by sch_ingress and sch_clsact.
So the Qdisc are to decide. However, the driver knows what is he
able to offload, so move the decision making to drivers completely.
Just pass classid there and provide set of helpers to allow
identification of qdisc.

As a side effect, this actually allows clsact egress rules
offload in mlxsw.

sctp: remove typedefs from structures part 6

As we know, typedef is suggested not to use in kernel, even checkpatch.pl
also gives warnings about it. Now sctp is using it for many structures.

All this kind of typedef's using should be removed. This patchset is the
part 6 to remove all typedefs in include/net/sctp/structs.h, command.h
and sm.h.

Just as the part 1-5, No any code's logic would be changed in these patches,
only cleaning up.

Note that this is the last part for this typedef cleaning up. after this
patchset, no more inappropriate typedefs in sctp. It's also to tidy some
codes when removing them, like fixing many indents, reodering some local
params, especially in the last 2 patches.

there appears to be no hard requirement for this, so use rcu instead.

At the time of this writing, there are three 'get_slave_size' callbacks
(now invoked under rcu): bond_get_slave_size, vrf_get_slave_size and
br_port_get_slave_size, all return constant only (i.e. they don't sleep).

Florian Westphal 5c2bb9b6e2 rtnetlink: do not use RTM_GETLINK directly
Userspace sends RTM_GETLINK type, but the kernel substracts
RTM_BASE from this, i.e. 'type' doesn't contain RTM_GETLINK
anymore but instead RTM_GETLINK - RTM_BASE.

This caused the calcit callback to not be invoked when it
should have been (and vice versa).

While at it, also fix a off-by one when checking family index. vs
handler array size.

Florian Westphal 377cb24884 rtnetlink: use rcu_dereference_raw to silence rcu splat
Ido reports a rcu splat in __rtnl_register.
The splat is correct; as rtnl_register doesn't grab any logs
and doesn't use rcu locks either.  It has always been like this.
handler families are not registered in parallel so there are no
races wrt. the kmalloc ordering.

The only reason to use rcu_dereference in the first place was to
avoid sparse from complaining about this.

Thus this switches to _raw() to not have rcu checks here.

The alternative is to add rtnl locking to register/unregister,
however, I don't see a compelling reason to do so as this has been
lockless for the past twenty years or so.
