bb949fbd18 netdev: Create netdev_queue abstraction.
A netdev_queue is an entity managed by a qdisc.

Currently there is one RX and one TX queue, and a netdev_queue merely
contains a backpointer to the net_device.

The Qdisc struct is augmented with a netdev_queue pointer as well.

Eventually the 'dev' Qdisc member will go away and we will have the
resulting hierarchy:

	net_device --> netdev_queue --> Qdisc

Also, qdisc_alloc() and qdisc_create_dflt() now take a netdev_queue
pointer argument.

6fe1c7a555 net-sched: add dynamically sized qdisc class hash helpers
Currently all qdiscs which allow to create classes uses a fixed sized hash
table with size 16 to hash the classes. This causes a large bottleneck
when using thousands of classes and unbound filters.

Add helpers for dynamically sized class hashes to fix this. The following
patches will convert the qdiscs to use them.

1e90474c37 [NET_SCHED]: Convert packet schedulers from rtnetlink to new netlink API
Convert packet schedulers to use the netlink API. Unfortunately a gradual
conversion is not possible without breaking compilation in the middle or
adding lots of casts, so this patch converts them all in one step. The
patch has been mostly generated automatically with some minor edits to
at least allow seperate conversion of classifiers and actions.

20fea08b5f [NET]: Move Qdisc_class_ops and Qdisc_ops in appropriate sections.
Qdisc_class_ops are const, and Qdisc_ops are mostly read.

Using "const" and "__read_mostly" qualifiers helps to reduce false

02f1c89d6e [NET]: Clone the sk_buff 'iif' field in __skb_clone()
Both NetLabel and SELinux (other LSMs may grow to use it as well) rely
on the 'iif' field to determine the receiving network interface of
inbound packets.  Unfortunately, at present this field is not
preserved across a skb clone operation which can lead to garbage
values if the cloned skb is sent back through the network stack.  This
patch corrects this problem by properly copying the 'iif' field in
__skb_clone() and removing the 'iif' field assignment from
skb_act_clone() since it is no longer needed.

Also, while we are here, put the assignments in the same order as the
offsets to reduce cacheline bounces.

e08b09983f [NET_SCHED]: Making rate table lookups more flexible.
This is done in order to, add support to changing the rate table to
use the upper-boundry L2T (length to time) value. Currently we use the
lower-boundry, which result in under-estimating the actual bandwidth
usage.

Extend the tc_ratespec struct, with two parameters: 1) "cell_align"
that allow adjusting the alignment of the rate table. 2) "overhead"
that allow adding a packet overhead before the lookup.

e9bef55d3d [NET_SCHED]: Cleanup L2T macros and handle oversized packets
Change L2T (length to time) macros, in all rate based schedulers, to
call a common function qdisc_l2t() that does the rate table lookup.
This function handles if the packet size lookup is larger than the
rate table, which often occurs with TSO enabled.

73ca4918fb [NET_SCHED]: act_api: qdisc internal reclassify support
The behaviour of NET_CLS_POLICE for TC_POLICE_RECLASSIFY was to return
it to the qdisc, which could handle it internally or ignore it. With
NET_CLS_ACT however, tc_classify starts over at the first classifier
and never returns it to the qdisc. This makes it impossible to support
qdisc-internal reclassification, which in turn makes it impossible to
remove the old NET_CLS_POLICE code without breaking compatibility since
we have two qdiscs (CBQ and ATM) that support this.

This patch adds a tc_classify_compat function that handles
reclassification the old way and changes CBQ and ATM to use it.

This again is of course not fully backwards compatible with the previous
NET_CLS_ACT behaviour. Unfortunately there is no way to fully maintain
compatibility *and* support qdisc internal reclassification with
NET_CLS_ACT, but this seems like the better choice over keeping the two
incompatible options around forever.

43effa1e57 [NET_SCHED]: Fix endless loops caused by inaccurate qlen counters (part 1)
There are multiple problems related to qlen adjustment that can lead
to an upper qdisc getting out of sync with the real number of packets
queued, leading to endless dequeueing attempts by the upper layer code.

All qdiscs must maintain an accurate q.qlen counter. There are basically
two groups of operations affecting the qlen: operations that propagate
down the tree (enqueue, dequeue, requeue, drop, reset) beginning at the
root qdisc and operations only affecting a subtree or single qdisc
(change, graft, delete class). Since qlen changes during operations from
the second group don't propagate to ancestor qdiscs, their qlen values
become desynchronized.

This patch adds a function to propagate qlen changes up the qdisc tree,
optionally calling a callback function to perform qdisc-internal
maintenance when the child qdisc becomes empty. The follow-up patches
will convert all qdiscs to use this function where necessary.

Noticed by Timo Steinbach <tsteinbach@astaro.com>.

9972b25d0c [PKT_SCHED]: Generic queue management interface for qdiscs using internal skb queues
Implements an interface to be used by leaf qdiscs maintaining an internal
skb queue. The interface maintains a backlog in bytes additionaly
to the skb_queue_len() maintained by the queue itself. Relevant statistics
get incremented automatically. Every function comes in two variants, one
assuming Qdisc->q is used as queue and the second taking a sk_buff_head
as argument. Be aware that, if you use multiple queues, you still have to
maintain the Qdisc->q.qlen counter yourself.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
