When a new dst is used to send a frame, neigh_resolve_output() tries to associate an struct hh_cache to this dst, calling neigh_hh_init() with the neigh rwlock write locked. Most of the time, hh_cache is already known and linked into neighbour, so we find it and increment its refcount. This patch changes the logic so that we call neigh_hh_init() with neighbour lock read locked only, so that fast path can be run in parallel by concurrent cpus. This brings part of the speedup we got with commit c7d4426a (introduce DST_NOCACHE flag) for non cached dsts, even for cached ones, removing one of the contention point that routers hit on multiqueue enabled machines. Further improvements would need to use a seqlock instead of an rwlock to protect neigh->ha[], to not dirty neigh too often and remove two atomic ops.

The rx->count reference is used to track reference counts to the number of rx-queue kobjects created for the device. This patch eliminates initialization of the counter in netif_alloc_rx_queues and instead increments the counter each time a kobject is created. This is now symmetric with the decrement that is done when an object is released.

There are a bunch of issues that need to be fixed, including: - GFP_KERNEL allocations from atomic context (and GFP_ATOMIC in process context), - abuse of the setsockopt() call convention, - unprotected/unlocked static variables... IMHO, we will need to alter the userspace ABI when we fix it. So mark the configuration option as EXPERIMENTAL for the time being (or should it be BROKEN instead?).

The current code works like this: int garbage, status; socklen_t len = sizeof(status); /* enable pipe */ setsockopt(fd, SOL_PNPIPE, PNPIPE_ENABLE, &garbage, sizeof(garbage)); /* disable pipe */ setsockopt(fd, SOL_PNPIPE, PNPIPE_DISABLE, &garbage, sizeof(garbage)); /* get status */ getsockopt(fd, SOL_PNPIPE, PNPIPE_INQ, &status, &len); ...which does not follow the usual socket option pattern. This patch merges all three "options" into a single gettable&settable option, before Linux 2.6.37 gets out: int status; socklen_t len = sizeof(status); /* enable pipe */ status = 1; setsockopt(fd, SOL_PNPIPE, PNPIPE_ENABLE, &status, sizeof(status)); /* disable pipe */ status = 0; setsockopt(fd, SOL_PNPIPE, PNPIPE_ENABLE, &status, sizeof(status)); /* get status */ getsockopt(fd, SOL_PNPIPE, PNPIPE_ENABLE, &status, &len); This also fixes the error code from EFAULT to ENOTCONN.

Commit "fib: RCU conversion of fib_lookup()" removed rcu_read_lock() from __mkroute_output but left a couple of calls to rcu_read_unlock() in there. This causes lockdep to complain that the rcu_read_unlock() call in __ip_route_output_key causes a lock inbalance and quickly crashes the kernel. The below fixes this for me.

This reverts commit 030725d2. This commit relies on commit 5ed3bc72 ("mac80211: use netif_receive_skb in ieee80211_tx_status callpath") Unfortunately not all drivers are calling ieee80211_tx_status from a compatible context, so that commit needs to be reverted in 2.6.36.

Do not set num_rx_queues in netif_set_real_num_rx_queues() some drivers will increase the real_num_rx_queues later due to a feature changes or available interrupts increasing. By setting num_rx_queues here this ends up creating a cap on the number of rx queues available. For example the ixgbe driver sets the max number of queues it intends to use ever then sets the current number in use with the netif_set_num_{rx|tx}_queues calls. With the current implementation the number of rx queues gets limited so when a feature such as DCB or FCoE is enabled the queues are no longer available. kobjects will only be allocated for real_num_rx_queues so the waste in memory is minimal.
