doing this. Not tested on real hardware, in fact I wonder if this

This patch adds a classful dummy scheduler which can be used as root qdisc
for multiqueue devices and exposes each device queue as a child class.
This allows to address queues individually and graft them similar to regular
classes. Additionally it presents an accumulated view of the statistics of
all real root qdiscs in the dummy root.
Two new callbacks are added to the qdisc_ops and qdisc_class_ops:
- cl_ops->select_queue selects the tx queue number for new child classes.
- qdisc_ops->attach() overrides root qdisc device grafting to attach
non-shared qdiscs to the queues.

Currently the multiqueue integration with the qdisc API suffers from
a few problems:
- with multiple queues, all root qdiscs use the same handle. This means
they can't be exposed to userspace in a backwards compatible fashion.
- all API operations always refer to queue number 0. Newly created
qdiscs are automatically shared between all queues, its not possible
to address individual queues or restore multiqueue behaviour once a
shared qdisc has been attached.
- Dumps only contain the root qdisc of queue 0, in case of non-shared
qdiscs this means the statistics are incomplete.
This patch reintroduces dev->qdisc, which points to the (single) root qdisc
from userspace's point of view. Currently it either points to the first
(non-shared) default qdisc, or a qdisc shared between all queues. The
following patches will introduce a classful dummy qdisc, which will be used
as root qdisc and contain the per-queue qdiscs as children.

Tom Horsley reports that his debugger hangs when it tries to read
/proc/pid_of_tracee/maps, this happens since
"mm_for_maps: take ->cred_guard_mutex to fix the race with exec"
04b836cbf19e885f8366bccb2e4b0474346c02d
commit in 2.6.31.
But the root of the problem lies in the fact that do_execve() path calls
tracehook_report_exec() which can stop if the tracer sets PT_TRACE_EXEC.
The tracee must not sleep in TASK_TRACED holding this mutex. Even if we
remove ->cred_guard_mutex from mm_for_maps() and proc_pid_attr_write(),
another task doing PTRACE_ATTACH should not hang until it is killed or the
tracee resumes.
With this patch do_execve() does not use ->cred_guard_mutex directly and
we do not hold it throughout, instead:
- introduce prepare_bprm_creds() helper, it locks the mutex
and calls prepare_exec_creds() to initialize bprm->cred.
- install_exec_creds() drops the mutex after commit_creds(),
and thus before tracehook_report_exec()->ptrace_stop().
or, if exec fails,
free_bprm() drops this mutex when bprm->cred != NULL which
indicates install_exec_creds() was not called.

need this, and del_timer_sync() has problems: it is not useable from

Introduce __cancel_delayed_work() which calls del_timer() instead.

1. Updates fcoe_rcv() to queue incoming frames to the fcoe per
cpu thread on which this frame's exch was originated and simply
use current cpu for request exch not originated by initiator.
It is redundant to add this code under CONFIG_SMP, so removes
CONFIG_SMP uses around this code.
2. Updates fc_exch_em_alloc, fc_exch_delete, fc_exch_find to use
per cpu exch pools, here fc_exch_delete is rename of older
fc_exch_mgr_delete_ep since ep/exch are now deleted in pools
of EM and so brief new name is sufficient and better name.
Updates these functions to map exch id to their index into exch
pool using fc_cpu_mask, fc_cpu_order and EM min_xid.
This mapping is as per detailed explanation about this in
last patch and basically this is just as lower fc_cpu_mask
bits of exch id as cpu number and upper bit sum of EM min_xid
and exch index in pool.
Uses pool next_index to keep track of exch allocation from
pool along with pool_max_index as upper bound of exches array
in pool.
3. Adds exch pool ptr to fc_exch to free exch to its pool in
fc_exch_delete.
4. Updates fc_exch_mgr_reset to reset all exch pools of an EM,
this required adding fc_exch_pool_reset func to reset exches
in pool and then have fc_exch_mgr_reset call fc_exch_pool_reset
for each pool within each EM for a lport.
5. Removes no longer needed exches array, em_lock, next_xid, and
total_exches from struct fc_exch_mgr, these are not needed after
use of per cpu exch pool, also removes not used max_read,
last_read from struct fc_exch_mgr.
6. Updates locking notes for exch pool lock with fc_exch lock and
uses pool lock in exch allocation, lookup and reset.

Adds per cpu exch pool for these reasons:-
1. Currently an EM instance is shared across all cpus to manage
all exches for all cpus. This required em_lock across all
cpus for an exch alloc, free, lookup and reset each frame
and that made em_lock expensive, so instead having per cpu
exch pool with their own per cpu pool lock will likely reduce
locking contention in fast path for an exch alloc, free and
lookup.
2. Per cpu exch pool will likely improve cache hit ratio since
all frames of an exch will be processed on the same cpu on
which exch originated.
This patch is only prep work to help in keeping complexity of next
patch low, so this patch only sets up per cpu exch pool and related
helper funcs to be used by next patch. The next patch fully makes
use of per cpu exch pool in all code paths ie. tx, rx and reset.
Divides per EM exch id range equally across all cpus to setup per
cpu exch pool. This division is such that lower bits of exch id
carries cpu number info on which exch originated, later a simple
bitwise AND operation on exch id of incoming frame with fc_cpu_mask
retrieves cpu number info to direct all frames to same cpu on which
exch originated. This required a global fc_cpu_mask and fc_cpu_order
initialized to max possible cpus number nr_cpu_ids rounded up to 2's
power, this will be used in mapping exch id and exch ptr array
index in pool during exch allocation, find or reset code paths.
Adds a check in fc_exch_mgr_alloc() to ensure specified min_xid
lower bits are zero since these bits are used to carry cpu info.
Adds and initializes struct fc_exch_pool with all required fields
to manage exches in pool.
Allocates per cpu struct fc_exch_pool with memory for exches array
for range of exches per pool. The exches array memory is followed
by struct fc_exch_pool.
Adds fc_exch_ptr_get/set() helper functions to get/set exch ptr in
pool exches array at specified array index.
Increases default FCOE_MAX_XID to 0x0FFF from 0x07EF, so that more
exches are available per cpu after above described exch id range
division across all cpus to each pool.

This patch introduces a new sysctl option to make IPv4 Address Scoping
configurable <draft-stewart-tsvwg-sctp-ipv4-00.txt>.
In networking environments where DNAT rules in iptables prerouting
chains convert destination IP's to link-local/private IP addresses,
SCTP connections fail to establish as the INIT chunk is dropped by the
kernel due to address scope match failure.
For example to support overlapping IP addresses (same IP address with
different vlan id) a Layer-5 application listens on link local IP's,
and there is a DNAT rule that maps the destination IP to a link local
IP. Such applications never get the SCTP INIT if the address-scoping
draft is strictly followed.
This sysctl configuration allows SCTP to function in such
unconventional networking environments.
Sysctl options:
0 - Disable IPv4 address scoping draft altogether
1 - Enable IPv4 address scoping (default, current behavior)
2 - Enable address scoping but allow IPv4 private addresses in init/init-ack
3 - Enable address scoping but allow IPv4 link local address in init/init-ack

We had a bug that we never stored the user-defined value for
MAXSEG when setting the value on an association. Thus future
PMTU events ended up re-writing the frag point and increasing
it past user limit. Additionally, when setting the option on
the socket/endpoint, we effect all current associations, which
is against spec.
Now, we store the user 'maxseg' value along with the computed
'frag_point'. We inherit 'maxseg' from the socket at association
creation and use it as an upper limit for 'frag_point' when its
set.

SCTP will delay the last part of a large write due to NAGLE, if that

SCTP has a problem that when small chunks are used, it is possible
to exhaust the receiver buffer without fully closing receive window.
This happens due to all overhead that we have account for with small
messages. To fix this, when receive buffer is exceeded, we'll drop
the window to 0 and save the 'drop' portion. When application starts
reading data and freeing up recevie buffer space, we'll wait until
we've reached the 'drop' window and then add back this 'drop' one
mtu at a time. This worked well in testing and under stress produced
rather even recovery.

Currenlty, sctp breaks up user messages into fragments and
sends each fragment to the lower layer by itself. This means
that for each fragment we go all the way down the stack
and back up. This also discourages bundling of multiple
fragments when they can fit into a sigle packet (ex: due
to user setting a low fragmentation threashold).
We introduce a new command SCTP_CMD_SND_MSG and hand the
whole message down state machine. The state machine and
the side-effect parser will cork the queue, add all chunks
from the message to the queue, and then un-cork the queue
thus causing the chunks to get transmitted.

If a socket has a lot of association that are in the process of
of being closed/aborted, it is possible for a remote to establish
new associations during the time period that the old ones are shutting
down. If this was a result of a close() call, there will be no socket
and will cause a memory leak. We'll prevent this by setting the
socket state to CLOSING and disallow new associations when in this state.

Device-mapper userspace logs (like the clustered log) are
identified by a universally unique identifier (UUID). This
identifier is used to associate requests from the kernel to
a specific log in userspace. The UUID must be unique everywhere,
since multiple machines may use this identifier when communicating
about a particular log, as is the case for cluster logs.
Sometimes, device-mapper/LVM may re-use a UUID. This is the
case during pvmoves, when moving from one segment of an LV
to another, or when resizing a mirror, etc. In these cases,
a new log is created with the same UUID and loaded in the
"inactive" slot. When a device-mapper "resume" is issued,
the "live" table is deactivated and the new "inactive" table
becomes "live". (The "inactive" table can also be removed
via a device-mapper 'clear' command.)
The above two issues were colliding. More than one log was being
created with the same UUID, and there was no way to distinguish
between them. So, sometimes the wrong log would be swapped
out during the exchange.
The solution is to create a locally unique identifier,
'luid', to go along with the UUID. This new identifier is used
to determine exactly which log is being referenced by the kernel
when the log exchange is made. The identifier is not
universally safe, but it does not need to be, since
create/destroy/suspend/resume operations are bound to a specific
machine; and these are the operations that make up the exchange.

tcp_send_fin => alloc_skb_fclone => page reclaim
David raised a concern that if the allocation fails in tcp_send_fin(), and it's
GFP_ATOMIC, we are going to yield() (which sleeps) and loop endlessly waiting
for the allocation to succeed.
But fact is, the original GFP_KERNEL also sleeps. GFP_ATOMIC+yield() looks
weird, but it is no worse the implicit sleep inside GFP_KERNEL. Both could
loop endlessly under memory pressure.
