      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      Okay :) Here is the last round, before the night !
      
      Thanks again
      
      [RFC] pkt_sched: gen_estimator: Don't report fake rate estimators
      
      We currently send TCA_STATS_RATE_EST elements to netlink users, even if no estimator
      is running.
      
      # tc -s -d qdisc
      qdisc pfifo_fast 0: dev eth0 root bands 3 priomap  1 2 2 2 1 2 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
       Sent 112833764978 bytes 1495081739 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0)
       rate 0bit 0pps backlog 0b 0p requeues 0
      
      User has no way to tell if the "rate 0bit 0pps" is a real estimation, or a fake
      one (because no estimator is active)
      
      After this patch, tc command output is :
      $ tc -s -d qdisc
      qdisc pfifo_fast 0: dev eth0 root bands 3 priomap  1 2 2 2 1 2 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
       Sent 561075 bytes 1196 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0)
       backlog 0b 0p requeues 0
      
      We add a parameter to gnet_stats_copy_rate_est() function so that
      it can use gen_estimator_active(bstats, r), as suggested by Jarek.
      
      This parameter can be NULL if check is not necessary, (htb for
      example has a mandatory rate estimator)

      pkt_sched: Revert tasklet_hrtimer changes. · 2fbd3da3
      David S. Miller authored
      These are full of unresolved problems, mainly that conversions don't
      work 1-1 from hrtimers to tasklet_hrtimers because unlike hrtimers
      tasklets can't be killed from softirq context.
      
      And when a qdisc gets reset, that's exactly what we need to do here.
      
      We'll work this out in the net-next-2.6 tree and if warranted we'll
      backport that work to -stable.
      
      This reverts the following 3 changesets:
      
      a2cb6a4d
      ("pkt_sched: Fix bogon in tasklet_hrtimer changes.")

      pkt_sched: Change misleading code in class delete. · 7cd0a638
      Jarek Poplawski authored
      While looking for a possible reason of bugzilla report on HTB oops:
      http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12858
      I found the code in htb_delete calling htb_destroy_class on zero
      refcount is very misleading: it can suggest this is a common path, and
      destroy is called under sch_tree_lock. Actually, this can never happen
      like this because before deletion cops->get() is done, and after
      delete a class is still used by tclass_notify. The class destroy is
      always called from cops->put(), so without sch_tree_lock.
      
      This doesn't mean much now (since 2.6.27) because all vulnerable calls
      were moved from htb_destroy_class to htb_delete, but there was a bug
      in older kernels. The same change is done for other classful scheds,
      which, it seems, didn't have similar locking problems here.

      pkt_sched: Add peek emulation for non-work-conserving qdiscs. · 77be155c
      Jarek Poplawski authored
      This patch adds qdisc_peek_dequeued() wrapper to emulate peek method
      with qdisc->dequeue() and storing "peeked" skb in qdisc->gso_skb until
      dequeuing. This is mainly for compatibility reasons not to break some
      strange configs because peeking is expected for non-work-conserving
      parent qdiscs to query work-conserving child qdiscs.
      
      This implementation requires using qdisc_dequeue_peeked() wrapper
      instead of directly calling qdisc->dequeue() for all qdiscs ever
      querried with qdisc->ops->peek() or qdisc_peek_dequeued().

      net_sched: Add qdisc __NET_XMIT_BYPASS flag · c27f339a
      Jarek Poplawski authored
      Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> noticed that it would be nice to
      handle NET_XMIT_BYPASS by NET_XMIT_SUCCESS with an internal qdisc flag
      __NET_XMIT_BYPASS and to remove the mapping from dev_queue_xmit().
      
      David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> spotted a serious bug in the first
      version of this patch.

      net_sched: Add qdisc __NET_XMIT_STOLEN flag · 378a2f09
      Jarek Poplawski authored
      Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> noticed:
      "The other problem that affects all qdiscs supporting actions is
      TC_ACT_QUEUED/TC_ACT_STOLEN getting mapped to NET_XMIT_SUCCESS
      even though the packet is not queued, corrupting upper qdiscs'
      qlen counters."
      
      and later explained:
      "The reason why it translates it at all seems to be to not increase
      the drops counter. Within a single qdisc this could be avoided by
      other means easily, upper qdiscs would still increase the counter
      when we return anything besides NET_XMIT_SUCCESS though.
      
      This means we need a new NET_XMIT return value to indicate this to
      the upper qdiscs. So I'd suggest to introduce NET_XMIT_STOLEN,
      return that to upper qdiscs and translate it to NET_XMIT_SUCCESS
      in dev_queue_xmit, similar to NET_XMIT_BYPASS."
      
      David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> noticed:
      "Maybe these NET_XMIT_* values being passed around should be a set of
      bits. They could be composed of base meanings, combined with specific
      attributes.
      
      So you could say "NET_XMIT_DROP | __NET_XMIT_NO_DROP_COUNT"
      
      The attributes get masked out by the top-level ->enqueue() caller,
      such that the base meanings are the only thing that make their
      way up into the stack. If it's only about communication within the
      qdisc tree, let's simply code it that way."
      
      This patch is trying to realize these ideas.

      pkt_sched: Schedule qdiscs instead of netdev_queue. · 37437bb2
      David S. Miller authored
      When we have shared qdiscs, packets come out of the qdiscs
      for multiple transmit queues.
      
      Therefore it doesn't make any sense to schedule the transmit
      queue when logically we cannot know ahead of time the TX
      queue of the SKB that the qdisc->dequeue() will give us.
      
      Just for sanity I added a BUG check to make sure we never
      get into a state where the noop_qdisc is scheduled.

      pkt_sched: Add and use qdisc_root() and qdisc_root_lock(). · 7698b4fc
      David S. Miller authored
      When code wants to lock the qdisc tree state, the logic
      operation it's doing is locking the top-level qdisc that
      sits of the root of the netdev_queue.
      
      Add qdisc_root_lock() to represent this and convert the
      easiest cases.
      
      In order for this to work out in all cases, we have to
      hook up the noop_qdisc to a dummy netdev_queue.

      netdev: Create netdev_queue abstraction. · bb949fbd
      David S. Miller authored
      A netdev_queue is an entity managed by a qdisc.
      
      Currently there is one RX and one TX queue, and a netdev_queue merely
      contains a backpointer to the net_device.
      
      The Qdisc struct is augmented with a netdev_queue pointer as well.
      
      Eventually the 'dev' Qdisc member will go away and we will have the
      resulting hierarchy:
      
      	net_device --> netdev_queue --> Qdisc
      
      Also, qdisc_alloc() and qdisc_create_dflt() now take a netdev_queue
      pointer argument.
