The x_tables are organized with a table structure and a per-cpu copies
of the counters and rules. On older kernels there was a reader/writer
lock per table which was a performance bottleneck. In 2.6.30-rc, this
was converted to use RCU and the counters/rules which solved the performance
problems for do_table but made replacing rules much slower because of
the necessary RCU grace period.
This version uses a per-cpu set of spinlocks and counters to allow to
table processing to proceed without the cache thrashing of a global
reader lock and keeps the same performance for table updates.

In 2.6.25 we added UDP mem accounting.
This unfortunatly added a penalty when a frame is transmitted, since
we have at TX completion time to call sock_wfree() to perform necessary
memory accounting. This calls sock_def_write_space() and utimately
scheduler if any thread is waiting on the socket.
Thread(s) waiting for an incoming frame was scheduled, then had to sleep
again as event was meaningless.
(All threads waiting on a socket are using same sk_sleep anchor)
This adds lot of extra wakeups and increases latencies, as noted
by Christoph Lameter, and slows down softirq handler.
Reference : http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=124060437012283&w=2
Fortunatly, Davide Libenzi recently added concept of keyed wakeups
into kernel, and particularly for sockets (see commit
37e5540b3c
epoll keyed wakeups: make sockets use keyed wakeups)
Davide goal was to optimize epoll, but this new wakeup infrastructure
can help non epoll users as well, if they care to setup an appropriate
handler.
This patch introduces new DEFINE_WAIT_FUNC() helper and uses it
in wait_for_packet(), so that only relevant event can wakeup a thread
blocked in this function.
Trace of function calls from bnx2 TX completion bnx2_poll_work() is :
__kfree_skb()
skb_release_head_state()
sock_wfree()
sock_def_write_space()
__wake_up_sync_key()
__wake_up_common()
receiver_wake_function() : Stops here since thread is waiting for an INPUT

Right now we have no upper limit on the size of the route cache hash table.
On a 128GB POWER6 box it ends up as 32MB:
IP route cache hash table entries: 4194304 (order: 9, 33554432 bytes)
It would be nice to cap this for memory consumption reasons, but a massive
hashtable also causes a significant spike when measuring OS jitter.
With a 32MB hashtable and 4 million entries, rt_worker_func is taking
5 ms to complete. On another system with more memory it's taking 14 ms.
Even though rt_worker_func does call cond_sched() to limit its impact,
in an HPC environment we want to keep all sources of OS jitter to a minimum.
With the patch applied we limit the number of entries to 512k which
can still be overriden by using the rt_entries boot option:
IP route cache hash table entries: 524288 (order: 6, 4194304 bytes)
With this patch rt_worker_func now takes 0.460 ms on the same system.

Currently, the VLAN event handler does not adjust the VLAN
device's carrier state when the real device or the VLAN device is set
administratively up or down.
The following patch adds a transfer of operating state from the
real device to the VLAN device when the real device is administratively
set up or down, and sets the carrier state up or down during init, open
and close of the VLAN device.
This permits observers above the VLAN device that care about the
carrier state (bonding's link monitor, for example) to receive updates
for administrative changes by more closely mimicing the behavior of real
devices.

While ifconfig eth0 up kernel calls open() of 8139 driver(8139too.c).
In rtl8139_hw_start() of rtl8139_open(), 8139 driver enable RX before

enabled and DMA buffer address is not yet set up, any incoming
broadcast packet would be send to a strange physical address:
0x003e8800 which is the default value of DMA buffer address.

AF_IUCV runs into a race when queuing incoming iucv messages
and receiving the resulting backlog.
If the Linux system is under pressure (high load or steal time),
the message queue grows up, but messages are not received and queued
onto the backlog queue. In that case, applications do not
receive any data with recvmsg() even if AF_IUCV puts incoming
messages onto the message queue.
The race can be avoided if the message queue spinlock in the
message_pending callback is spreaded across the entire callback
function.

A few issues wrt DMA were uncovered when using the driver with swiotlb.
- driver should not use memory after it has been mapped
- iwl3945's RX queue management cannot use all of iwlagn because
the size of the RX buffer is different. Revert back to using
iwl3945 specific routines that map/unmap memory.
- no need to "dma_syn_single_range_for_cpu" followed by pci_unmap_single,
we can just call pci_unmap_single initially
- only map the memory area that will be used by device. this is especially
relevant to the mapping of iwl_cmd. we should not map the entire
structure because the meta data at the beginning of structure contains
the address to be used later for unmapping. If the address to be used for
unmapping is stored in mapped data it creates a problem.
- ensure that _if_ memory needs to be modified after it is mapped that we
call _sync_single_for_cpu first, and then release it back to device with
_sync_single_for_device
- we mapped the wrong length of data for host commands, with mapped length
differing with length provided to device, fix that.

When debugging TX issues it is helpful to know the seq nr of the
frame being transmitted. The seq nr is printed as part of ucode's
log informing us which frame is being processed. Having this information
printed in driver log makes it easy to match activities between driver
and firmware.
Also make possible to print TX flags directly. These are already printed
as part of entire TX command, but having it printed directly in cpu format
