e99b99b471 pktgen node allocation
Here is patch to manipulate packet node allocation and implicitly
how packets are DMA'd etc.

The flag NODE_ALLOC enables the function and numa_node_id();
when enabled it can also be explicitly controlled via a new
node parameter

Tested this with 10 Intel 82599 ports w. TYAN S7025 E5520 CPU's.
Was able to TX/DMA ~80 Gbit/s to Ethernet wires.

ec733b15a3 net: snmp mib cleanup
There is no point to align or pad mibs to cache lines, they are per cpu
allocated with a 8 bytes alignment anyway.
This wastes space for no gain. This patch removes __SNMP_MIB_ALIGN__

Since SNMP mibs contain "unsigned long" fields only, we can relax the
allocation alignment from "unsigned long long" to "unsigned long"

907cdda520 tcp: Add SNMP counter for DEFER_ACCEPT
Its currently hard to diagnose when ACK frames are dropped because an
application set TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT on its listening socket.

See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15507

This patch adds a SNMP value, named TCPDeferAcceptDrop

netstat -s | grep TCPDeferAcceptDrop
    TCPDeferAcceptDrop: 0

This counter is incremented every time we drop a pure ACK frame received
by a socket in SYN_RECV state because its SYNACK retrans count is lower
than defer_accept value.

b2db756449 ipv6: Reduce timer events for addrconf_verify().
This patch reduces timer events while keeping accuracy by rounding
our timer and/or batching several address validations in addrconf_verify().

addrconf_verify() is called at earliest timeout among interface addresses'
timeouts, but at maximum ADDR_CHECK_FREQUENCY (120 secs).

In most cases, all of timeouts of interface addresses are long enough
(e.g. several hours or days vs 2 minutes), this timer is usually called
every ADDR_CHECK_FREQUENCY, and it is okay to be lazy.
(Note this timer could be eliminated if all code paths which modifies
variables related to timeouts call us manually, but it is another story.)

However, in other least but important cases, we try keeping accuracy.

When the real interface address timeout is coming, and the timeout
is just before the rounded timeout, we accept some error.

When a timeout has been reached, we also try batching other several
events in very near future.

73852e8151 NET_DMA: free skbs periodically
Under NET_DMA, data transfer can grind to a halt when userland issues a
large read on a socket with a high RCVLOWAT (i.e., 512 KB for both).
This appears to be because the NET_DMA design queues up lots of memcpy
operations, but doesn't issue or wait for them (and thus free the
associated skbs) until it is time for tcp_recvmesg() to return.
The socket hangs when its TCP window goes to zero before enough data is
available to satisfy the read.

Periodically issue asynchronous memcpy operations, and free skbs for ones
that have completed, to prevent sockets from going into zero-window mode.

33bd9f601e ixgbevf: Fix VF Stats accounting after reset
The counters in the 82599 Virtual Function are not clear on read.  They
accumulate to the maximum value and then roll over.  They are also not
cleared when the VF executes a soft reset, so it is possible they are
non-zero when the driver loads and starts.  This has all been accounted
for in the code that keeps the stats up to date but there is one case
that is not.  When the PF driver is reset the counters in the VF are
all reset to zero.  This adds an additional accounting overhead into
the VF driver when the PF is reset under its feet.  This patch adds
additional counters that are used by the VF driver to accumulate and
save stats after a PF reset has been detected.  Prior to this patch
displaying the stats in the VF after the PF has reset would show
bogus data.

d11a4dc18b ipv4: check rt_genid in dst_check
Xfrm_dst keeps a reference to ipv4 rtable entries on each
cached bundle. The only way to renew xfrm_dst when the underlying
route has changed, is to implement dst_check for this. This is
what ipv6 side does too.

The problems started after 87c1e12b5e
("ipsec: Fix bogus bundle flowi") which fixed a bug causing xfrm_dst
to not get reused, until that all lookups always generated new
xfrm_dst with new route reference and path mtu worked. But after the
fix, the old routes started to get reused even after they were expired
causing pmtu to break (well it would occationally work if the rtable
gc had run recently and marked the route obsolete causing dst_check to
get called).

fa8f130c50 iwlwifi: code cleanup for connectivity recovery
Split the connectivity check and recovery routine into separated
functions based on the types
   1. iwl_good_ack_health() - check for ack count
   2. iwl_good_plcp_health() - check for plcp error

Based on the type of errors being detected, different recovery methods
will be used to bring the system back to normal operational state.

Because different NIC has different HW and uCode, the behavior is also
different; these functions thus now form part of the ops infrastructure,
so we can have more control on how to monitor and recover from error condition
case per device.

d5a0ffa3ea iwlwifi: Recover TX flow failure
Monitors the tx statistics to detect the drop in throughput.
When the throughput drops, the ratio of the actual_ack_count and the
expected_ack_count also drops.  At the same time, the aggregated
ba_timeout (the number of ba timeout retries) also rises.  If the
actual_ack_count/expected_ack_count ratio is 0 and the number of ba
timeout retries rises to BA_TIMEOUT_MAX, no tx packets can be delivered.
Reloading the uCode and bring the system back to normal operational
state.

beac5498b7 iwlwifi: move plcp check to separated function
Move the plcp error checking into stand alone function and pointed by ops
to accommodate devices not needing this recovery.
