Testing of VLAN_FLAG_REORDER_HDR does not belong in vlan_untag
but rather in vlan_do_receive. Otherwise the vlan header
will not be properly put on the packet in the case of
vlan header accelleration.
As we remove the check from vlan_check_reorder_header
rename it vlan_reorder_header to keep the naming clean.
Fix up the skb->pkt_type early so we don't look at the packet
after adding the vlan tag, which guarantees we don't goof
and look at the wrong field.
Use a simple if statement instead of a complicated switch
statement to decided that we need to increment rx_stats
for a multicast packet.
Hopefully at somepoint we will just declare the case where
VLAN_FLAG_REORDER_HDR is cleared as unsupported and remove
the code. Until then this keeps it working correctly.

Commit e66eed651f ("list: remove prefetching from regular list

list traversal still had them.
Quoth David Miller:
"Please just remove the prefetches.
Those are modelled after list.h as I intend to eventually convert
SKB list handling to "struct list_head" but we're not there yet.
Therefore if we kill prefetches from list.h we should kill it from
these things in skbuff.h too."

the index in the sock unless the device has more than one queue. This

We also allow the mapping of a socket to queue to be changed. To
maintain in order packet transmission a flag (ooo_okay) has been
added to the sk_buff structure. If a transport layer sets this flag
on a packet, the transmit queue can be changed for the socket.
Presumably, the transport would set this if there was no possbility
of creating OOO packets (for instance, there are no packets in flight

commit b30973f877 (node-aware skb allocation) spread a wrong habit of
allocating net drivers skbs on a given memory node : The one closest to
the NIC hardware. This is wrong because as soon as we try to scale
network stack, we need to use many cpus to handle traffic and hit
slub/slab management on cross-node allocations/frees when these cpus
have to alloc/free skbs bound to a central node.
skb allocated in RX path are ephemeral, they have a very short
lifetime : Extra cost to maintain NUMA affinity is too expensive. What
appeared as a nice idea four years ago is in fact a bad one.
In 2010, NIC hardwares are multiqueue, or we use RPS to spread the load,
and two 10Gb NIC might deliver more than 28 million packets per second,
needing all the available cpus.
Cost of cross-node handling in network and vm stacks outperforms the
small benefit hardware had when doing its DMA transfert in its 'local'
memory node at RX time. Even trying to differentiate the two allocations
done for one skb (the sk_buff on local node, the data part on NIC
hardware node) is not enough to bring good performance.

Currently, the accelerated receive path for VLAN's will
drop packets if the real device is an inactive slave and
is not one of the special pkts tested for in
skb_bond_should_drop(). This behavior is different then
the non-accelerated path and for pkts over a bonded vlan.
For example,
vlanx -> bond0 -> ethx
will be dropped in the vlan path and not delivered to any
packet handlers at all. However,
bond0 -> vlanx -> ethx
and
bond0 -> ethx
will be delivered to handlers that match the exact dev,
because the VLAN path checks the real_dev which is not a
slave and netif_recv_skb() doesn't drop frames but only
delivers them to exact matches.
This patch adds a sk_buff flag which is used for tagging
skbs that would previously been dropped and allows the
skb to continue to skb_netif_recv(). Here we add
logic to check for the deliver_no_wcard flag and if it
is set only deliver to handlers that match exactly. This
makes both paths above consistent and gives pkt handlers
a way to identify skbs that come from inactive slaves.
Without this patch in some configurations skbs will be
delivered to handlers with exact matches and in others
be dropped out right in the vlan path.
I have tested the following 4 configurations in failover modes
and load balancing modes.

# vlanx -> bond0 -> ethx

This patch implements software receive side packet steering (RPS). RPS
distributes the load of received packet processing across multiple CPUs.
Problem statement: Protocol processing done in the NAPI context for received
packets is serialized per device queue and becomes a bottleneck under high
packet load. This substantially limits pps that can be achieved on a single
queue NIC and provides no scaling with multiple cores.
This solution queues packets early on in the receive path on the backlog queues
of other CPUs. This allows protocol processing (e.g. IP and TCP) to be
performed on packets in parallel. For each device (or each receive queue in
a multi-queue device) a mask of CPUs is set to indicate the CPUs that can
process packets. A CPU is selected on a per packet basis by hashing contents
of the packet header (e.g. the TCP or UDP 4-tuple) and using the result to index
into the CPU mask. The IPI mechanism is used to raise networking receive
softirqs between CPUs. This effectively emulates in software what a multi-queue
NIC can provide, but is generic requiring no device support.
Many devices now provide a hash over the 4-tuple on a per packet basis
(e.g. the Toeplitz hash). This patch allow drivers to set the HW reported hash
in an skb field, and that value in turn is used to index into the RPS maps.
Using the HW generated hash can avoid cache misses on the packet when
steering it to a remote CPU.
The CPU mask is set on a per device and per queue basis in the sysfs variable
/sys/class/net/<device>/queues/rx-<n>/rps_cpus. This is a set of canonical
bit maps for receive queues in the device (numbered by <n>). If a device
does not support multi-queue, a single variable is used for the device (rx-0).
Generally, we have found this technique increases pps capabilities of a single
queue device with good CPU utilization. Optimal settings for the CPU mask
seem to depend on architectures and cache hierarcy. Below are some results
running 500 instances of netperf TCP_RR test with 1 byte req. and resp.
Results show cumulative transaction rate and system CPU utilization.
e1000e on 8 core Intel
Without RPS: 108K tps at 33% CPU
With RPS: 311K tps at 64% CPU
forcedeth on 16 core AMD
Without RPS: 156K tps at 15% CPU
With RPS: 404K tps at 49% CPU
bnx2x on 16 core AMD
Without RPS 567K tps at 61% CPU (4 HW RX queues)
Without RPS 738K tps at 96% CPU (8 HW RX queues)
With RPS: 854K tps at 76% CPU (4 HW RX queues)
Caveats:
- The benefits of this patch are dependent on architecture and cache hierarchy.
Tuning the masks to get best performance is probably necessary.
- This patch adds overhead in the path for processing a single packet. In
a lightly loaded server this overhead may eliminate the advantages of
increased parallelism, and possibly cause some relative performance degradation.
We have found that masks that are cache aware (share same caches with
the interrupting CPU) mitigate much of this.
- The RPS masks can be changed dynamically, however whenever the mask is changed
this introduces the possibility of generating out of order packets. It's
probably best not change the masks too frequently.

The alignment requirement for 64-bit load/store instructions on ARM is
implementation defined. Some CPUs (such as Marvell Feroceon) do not
generate an exception, if such an instruction is executed with an
address that is not 64 bit aligned. In such a case, the Feroceon
corrupts adjacent memory, which showed up in my tests as a crash in the
rx path of ath9k that only occured with CONFIG_XFRM set.
This crash happened, because the first field of the mac80211 rx status
