This change moves all of the ring flags into a single value. The advantage to this is that there is one central area for all of these flags and they can all make use of the set/test bit operations.

There are a number of places where we have values that are stored as u16 but are being converted to int unnecessarily. In order to avoid that we should convert all variables that deal with the next_to_clean, next_to_use, and count to u16 values.

This change is meant to update the ring and vector allocations so that they are per node instead of allocating everything on the node that ifconfig/modprobe is called on. By doing this we can cut down significantly on cross node traffic.

Instead of storing most of the data for the TX hot path in the stack until we are ready to write the descriptor we can save ourselves some time and effort by pushing the SKB, tx_flags, gso_size, bytecount, and protocol into the first igb_tx_buffer since that is where we will end up putting it anyway.

This change will combine the writes of tx_buffer_info and the Tx data descriptors into a single function. The advantage of this is that we can avoid needless memory reads from the buffer info struct and speed things up by keeping the accesses to the local registers.

This change converts two tx_buffer_info index values into pointers. The advantage to this is that we reduce unnecessary computations and in the case of next_to_watch we get an added bonus of the value being able to provide additional information as a NULL value indicates it is unset versus a 0 not having any meaning for the index value.

This patch is meant to simplify the transmit path by reducing the overhead for creating a transmit context descriptor. The current implementation is split with igb_tso and igb_tx_csum doing two separate implementations on how to setup the tx_buffer_info structure and the tx_desc. By combining them it is possible to reduce code and simplify things since now only one function will create context descriptors.

In order to be able to improve the performance of the TX path it has been necessary to add addition info to the tx_buffer_info structure. However a side effect is that the structure has gotten larger and this in turn has also increased the size of the RX buffer info structure. In order to avoid this in the future I am splitting the single buffer_info structure into two separate ones and instead I will join them by making the buffer_info pointer in the ring a union of the two.

When short packets are received with jumbos enabled on 82579, they can be interpreted to have a receive address that does not match any configured address. This is due to a hardware bug that can be worked around by reducing the number of IPG octets added when the packet is transferred from the PHY to the MAC.

The e1000 driver when running with lockdep could run into some possible deadlocks between the work items acquiring rtnl and the rtnl lock being acquired before work items were cancelled. Use a private mutex to make sure lock ordering isn't violated. The private mutex is only used to protect areas not generally covered by the rtnl lock already.

In summary, this DMI quirk uses the _CRS info by default for the ASUS M2V-MX SE by turning on `pci=use_crs` and is similar to the quirk added by commit 2491762c ("x86/PCI: use host bridge _CRS info on ASRock ALiveSATA2-GLAN") whose commit message should be read for further information.

This patch verifies that the length of a buffer stored in a linked list of pages is small enough to fit into a skb. If the size is larger than a max size of a skb, it means that we shouldn't go ahead building skbs anyway since we won't be able to send the buffer as the user requested.

This is based on an earlier patch by Nick Carter with comments by David Lamparter but with some refinements. Thanks for their patience this is a confusing area with overlap of standards, user requirements, and compatibility with earlier releases. It adds a new sysfs attribute /sys/class/net/brX/bridge/group_fwd_mask that controls forwarding of frames with address of: 01-80-C2-00-00-0X The default setting has no forwarding to retain compatibility. One change from earlier releases is that forwarding of group addresses is not dependent on STP being enabled or disabled. This choice was made based on interpretation of tie 802.1 standards. I expect complaints will arise because of this, but better to follow the standard than continue acting incorrectly by default. The filtering mask is writeable, but only values that don't forward known control frames are allowed. It intentionally blocks attempts to filter control protocols. For example: writing a 8 allows forwarding 802.1X PAE addresses which is the most common request.

This resolves a regression seen by some users of bridging. Some users use the bridge like a dummy device. They expect to be able to put an IPv6 address on the device with no ports attached. Although there are better ways of doing this, there is no reason to not allow it. Note: the bridge still will reflect the state of ports in the bridge if there are any added.
