The function dev_deactivate is supposed to only return when
all outstanding transmissions have completed. Unfortunately
it is possible for store operations in the driver's transmit
function to only become visible after dev_deactivate returns.
This patch fixes this by taking the queue lock after we see
the end of the queue run. This ensures that all effects of
any previous transmit calls are visible.
If however we detect that there is another queue run occuring,
then we'll warn about it because this should never happen as
we have pointed dev->qdisc to noop_qdisc within the same queue
lock earlier in the functino.

While looking at a net driver with the following construct,
if (!netif_carrier_ok(dev))
netif_carrier_on(dev);
it stuck me that the netif_carrier_ok() check was redundant, since
netif_carrier_on() checks bit __LINK_STATE_NOCARRIER anyway. This is
the same reason why netif_queue_stopped() need not be called prior to
netif_wake_queue().
This is true, but there is however an unwanted side effect from assuming
that netif_carrier_on() can be called multiple times: it touches the
watchdog, regardless of pre-existing carrier state.
The fix: move watchdog-up inside the bit-cleared code path.

Stateless NAT is useful in controlled environments where restrictions are
placed on through traffic such that we don't need connection tracking to
correctly NAT protocol-specific data.
In particular, this is of interest when the number of flows or the number
of addresses being NATed is large, or if connection tracking information
has to be replicated and where it is not practical to do so.
Previously we had stateless NAT functionality which was integrated into
the IPv4 routing subsystem. This was a great solution as long as the NAT
worked on a subnet to subnet basis such that the number of NAT rules was
relatively small. The reason is that for SNAT the routing based system
had to perform a linear scan through the rules.
If the number of rules is large then major renovations would have take
place in the routing subsystem to make this practical.
For the time being, the least intrusive way of achieving this is to use
the u32 classifier written by Alexey Kuznetsov along with the actions
infrastructure implemented by Jamal Hadi Salim.
The following patch is an attempt at this problem by creating a new nat
action that can be invoked from u32 hash tables which would allow large
number of stateless NAT rules that can be used/updated in constant time.
The actual NAT code is mostly based on the previous stateless NAT code
written by Alexey. In future we might be able to utilise the protocol
NAT code from netfilter to improve support for other protocols.

This patch makes most of the generic device layer network
namespace safe. This patch makes dev_base_head a
network namespace variable, and then it picks up
a few associated variables. The functions:
dev_getbyhwaddr
dev_getfirsthwbytype
dev_get_by_flags
dev_get_by_name
__dev_get_by_name
dev_get_by_index
__dev_get_by_index
dev_ioctl
dev_ethtool
dev_load
wireless_process_ioctl
were modified to take a network namespace argument, and
deal with it.
vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their
hooks will receive a network namespace argument.
So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was
affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle
multiple network namespaces. The rest of the network stack was
simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network
namespace. This can be fixed when those components of the network
stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces.
For now the ifindex generator is left global.
Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else
we will have corner case problems with migration when
we get that far.
At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack
that the ifindex of a network device won't change. Making
the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until
the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when
you change namespaces, and the like.

This patch makes /proc/net per network namespace. It modifies the global
variables proc_net and proc_net_stat to be per network namespace.
The proc_net file helpers are modified to take a network namespace argument,
and all of their callers are fixed to pass &init_net for that argument.
This ensures that all of the /proc/net files are only visible and
usable in the initial network namespace until the code behind them
has been updated to be handle multiple network namespaces.
Making /proc/net per namespace is necessary as at least some files
in /proc/net depend upon the set of network devices which is per
network namespace, and even more files in /proc/net have contents
that are relevant to a single network namespace.

Several devices have multiple independant RX queues per net
device, and some have a single interrupt doorbell for several
queues.
In either case, it's easier to support layouts like that if the
structure representing the poll is independant from the net
device itself.
The signature of the ->poll() call back goes from:
int foo_poll(struct net_device *dev, int *budget)
to
int foo_poll(struct napi_struct *napi, int budget)
The caller is returned the number of RX packets processed (or
the number of "NAPI credits" consumed if you want to get
abstract). The callee no longer messes around bumping
dev->quota, *budget, etc. because that is all handled in the
caller upon return.
The napi_struct is to be embedded in the device driver private data
structures.
Furthermore, it is the driver's responsibility to disable all NAPI
instances in it's ->stop() device close handler. Since the
napi_struct is privatized into the driver's private data structures,
only the driver knows how to get at all of the napi_struct instances
it may have per-device.

When CONFIG_NET_CLS_ACT is enabled, tc_classify() is called twice in
prio_classify(). This causes "interesting" behaviour: with the setup
below, packets are duplicated, sent twice to ifb0, and then loop in and

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.

Changes :
- netif_queue_stopped need not be called inside qdisc_restart as
it has been called already in qdisc_run() before the first skb
is sent, and in __qdisc_run() after each intermediate skb is
sent (note : we are the only sender, so the queue cannot get
stopped while the tx lock was got in the ~LLTX case).
- BUG_ON((int) q->q.qlen < 0) was a relic from old times when -1
meant more packets are available, and __qdisc_run used to loop
when qdisc_restart() returned -1. During those days, it was
necessary to make sure that qlen is never less than zero, since
__qdisc_run would get into an infinite loop if no packets are on
the queue and this bug in qdisc was there (and worse - no more
skbs could ever get queue'd as we hold the queue lock too). With
Herbert's recent change to return values, this check is not
required. Hopefully Herbert can validate this change. If at all
this is required, it should be added to skb_dequeue (in failure
case), and not to qdisc_qlen.

New changes :
- Incorporated Peter Waskiewicz's comments.
- Re-added back one warning message (on driver returning wrong value).
Previous changes :
- Converted to use switch/case code which looks neater.
- "if (ret == NETDEV_TX_LOCKED && lockless)" is buggy, and the lockless
check should be removed, since driver will return NETDEV_TX_LOCKED only
if lockless is true and driver has to do the locking. In the original
code as well as the latest code, this code can result in a bug where
if LLTX is not set for a driver (lockless == 0) but the driver is written
wrongly to do a trylock (despite LLTX being set), the driver returns
LOCKED. But since lockless is zero, the packet is requeue'd instead of
calling collision code which will issue warning and free up the skb.
Instead this skb will be retried with this driver next time, and the same
result will ensue. Removing this check will catch these driver bugs instead
of hiding the problem. I am keeping this change to readability section
since :
a. it is confusing to check two things as it is; and
b. it is difficult to keep this check in the changed 'switch' code.
- Changed some names, like try_get_tx_pkt to dev_dequeue_skb (as that is
the work being done and easier to understand) and do_dev_requeue to
dev_requeue_skb, merged handle_dev_cpu_collision and tx_islocked to
dev_handle_collision (handle_dev_cpu_collision is a small routine with only
one caller, so there is no need to have two separate routines which also
results in getting rid of two macros, etc.
- Removed an XXX comment as it should never fail (I suspect this was related
to batch skb WIP, Jamal ?). Converted some functions to original coding
style of having the return values and the function name on same line, eg
prio2list.
