      hyperv: Enable sendbuf mechanism on the send path · c25aaf81
      KY Srinivasan authored 
      We send packets using a copy-free mechanism (this is the Guest to Host transport
via VMBUS). While this is obviously optimal for large packets,
it may not be optimal for small packets. Hyper-V host supports
a second mechanism for sending packets that is "copy based". We implement that
mechanism in this patch.

In this version of the patch I have addressed a comment from David Miller.

With this patch (and all of the other offload and VRSS patches), we are now able
to almost saturate a 10G interface between Linux VMs on Hyper-V
on different hosts - close to  9 Gbps as measured via iperf.

      net: stmmac: set phy to use polling by default · cc80ee13
      Dinh Nguyen authored 
      mii_irq[] array is never initialized anywhere in the driver, thus mii_irq[]
will always equate to zero. So, for the case where the PHY does not have an
irq, we should use PHY_POLL for that situation.

      virtio-net: Set needed_headroom for virtio-net when VIRTIO_F_ANY_LAYOUT is true · 6ebbc1a6
      Zhangjie \(HZ\) authored 
      This is a small supplement for commit e7428e95
("virtio-net: put virtio-net header inline with data"). TCP packages have
enough room to put virtio-net header in, but UDP packages do not. By
setting dev->needed_headroom for virtio-net device, UDP packages could have
enough room.

For UDP packages, sk_buff is alloced in fun __ip_append_data. The size is
"alloclen + hh_len + 15", and "hh_len = LL_RESERVED_SPACE(rt-dst.dev);".
The Macro is defined as follows:
#define LL_RESERVED_SPACE(dev) \
     ((((dev)->hard_header_len+(dev)->needed_headroom)\
     &~(HH_DATA_MOD - 1)) + HH_DATA_MOD)
By default, for UDP packages, after skb is allocated, only 16 bytes
reserved. And 2 bytes remained after mac header is set. That is not enough
to put virtio-net header in. If we set dev->needed_headroom to 12 or 10
(according to mergeable_rx_bufs is on or off ), more room can be reserved.
Then there is enough room for UDP packages to put the header in.

test result list as below:
guest and host: suse11sp3, netperf, intel 2.4GHz
