The wan drivers each support some custom SIOCDEVPRIVATE
ioctls, plus the common SIOCWANDEV command.
Split these so the ioctl callback only deals with SIOCWANDEV
and the rest is handled by ndo_siocdevprivate.
It might make sense to also split out SIOCWANDEV into a
separate callback in order to eventually remove ndo_do_ioctl
entirely.

Change the fr_rx function to make this driver support any Ethertype

(This driver is already able to handle any Ethertype when sending.)
Originally in the fr_rx function, the code that parses the long (10-byte)
header only recognizes a few Ethertype values and drops frames with other
Ethertype values. This patch replaces this code to make fr_rx support
any Ethertype. This patch also creates a new function fr_snap_parse as

Change the skb->len check from "<= 4" to "< 4".
At first we only need to ensure a 4-byte header is present. We indeed
normally need the 5th byte, too, but it'd be more logical and cleaner
to check its existence when we actually need it.
2.
Add an fh->ea2 check to the initial checks in fr_rx. fh->ea2 == 1 means
the second address byte is the final address byte. We only support the
case where the address length is 2 bytes.

When an skb is received on a normal (non-Ethernet-emulating) PVC device,
call skb_reset_mac_header before we pass it to upper layers.
This is because normal PVC devices don't have header_ops, so any header we
have would not be visible to upper layer code when sending, so the header
shouldn't be visible to upper layer code when receiving, either.

The eth_type_trans function is called when we receive frames carrying
Ethernet frames. This function expects a non-NULL pointer as an argument,
and assigns it directly to skb->dev.
However, the code handling other types of frames first assigns the pointer
to "dev", and then at the end checks whether the value is NULL, and if it
is not NULL, assigns it to skb->dev.
The two flows are different. Mixing them in this function makes the code
messy. It's better that we convert the second flow to align with how
eth_type_trans does things.
So this patch changes the code to: first make sure the pointer is not
NULL, then assign it directly to skb->dev. "dev" is no longer needed until
the end where we use it to update stats.

When the fr_rx function drops a received frame (because the protocol type

The code for freeing the skb and returning is repeated several times, this
patch uses "goto rx_drop" to replace them so that the code looks cleaner.

Move the skb_headroom check out of fr_hard_header and into pvc_xmit.
This has two benefits:
1. Originally we only do this check for skbs sent by users on Ethernet-
emulating PVC devices. After the change we do this check for skbs sent on
normal PVC devices, too.
(Also add a comment to make it clear that this is only a protection
against upper layers that don't take dev->needed_headroom into account.
Such upper layers should be rare and I believe they should be fixed.)
2. After the change we can simplify the parameter list of fr_hard_header.
We no longer need to use a pointer to pointers (skb_p) because we no
longer need to replace the skb inside fr_hard_header.

2. Replace code that pads short Ethernet frames with a "__skb_pad" call.
3. Change "dev_kfree_skb" to "kfree_skb" in error handling code.
"kfree_skb" is the correct function to call when dropping an skb due to
an error. "dev_kfree_skb", which is an alias of "consume_skb", is for
dropping skbs normally (not due to an error).

The fr_hard_header function is used to prepend the header to skbs before
transmission. It is used in 3 situations:
1) When a control packet is generated internally in this driver;
2) When a user sends an skb on an Ethernet-emulating PVC device;
3) When a user sends an skb on a normal PVC device.
These 3 situations need to be handled differently by fr_hard_header.
Different headers should be prepended to the skb in different situations.
Currently fr_hard_header distinguishes these 3 situations using
skb->protocol. For situation 1 and 2, a special skb->protocol value
will be assigned before calling fr_hard_header, so that it can recognize
these 2 situations. All skb->protocol values other than these special ones
are treated by fr_hard_header as situation 3.
However, it is possible that in situation 3, the user sends an skb with
one of the special skb->protocol values. In this case, fr_hard_header
would incorrectly treat it as situation 1 or 2.
This patch tries to solve this issue by using skb->dev instead of
skb->protocol to distinguish between these 3 situations. For situation
1, skb->dev would be NULL; for situation 2, skb->dev->type would be
ARPHRD_ETHER; and for situation 3, skb->dev->type would be ARPHRD_DLCI.
This way fr_hard_header would be able to distinguish these 3 situations
correctly regardless what skb->protocol value the user tries to use in
situation 3.

This patch sets skb->protocol before transmitting frames on the HDLC
device, so that a user listening on the HDLC device with an AF_PACKET
socket will see outgoing frames' sll_protocol field correctly set and
consistent with that of incoming frames.
1. Control frames in hdlc_cisco and hdlc_ppp
When these drivers send control frames, skb->protocol is not set.
This value should be set to htons(ETH_P_HDLC), because when receiving
control frames, their skb->protocol is set to htons(ETH_P_HDLC).
When receiving, hdlc_type_trans in hdlc.h is called, which then calls
cisco_type_trans or ppp_type_trans. The skb->protocol of control frames
is set to htons(ETH_P_HDLC) so that the control frames can be received
by hdlc_rcv in hdlc.c, which calls cisco_rx or ppp_rx to process the
control frames.
2. hdlc_fr
When this driver sends control frames, skb->protocol is set to internal
values used in this driver.
When this driver sends data frames (from upper stacked PVC devices),
skb->protocol is the same as that of the user data packet being sent on
the upper PVC device (for normal PVC devices), or is htons(ETH_P_802_3)
(for Ethernet-emulating PVC devices).
However, skb->protocol for both control frames and data frames should be
set to htons(ETH_P_HDLC), because when receiving, all frames received on
the HDLC device will have their skb->protocol set to htons(ETH_P_HDLC).
When receiving, hdlc_type_trans in hdlc.h is called, and because this
driver doesn't provide a type_trans function in struct hdlc_proto,
all frames will have their skb->protocol set to htons(ETH_P_HDLC).
The frames are then received by hdlc_rcv in hdlc.c, which calls fr_rx
to process the frames (control frames are consumed and data frames
are re-received on upper PVC devices).

PVC devices are virtual devices in this driver stacked on top of the
actual HDLC device. They are the devices normal users would use.
PVC devices have two types: normal PVC devices and Ethernet-emulating
PVC devices.
When transmitting data with PVC devices, the ndo_start_xmit function
will prepend a header of 4 or 10 bytes. Currently this driver requests
this headroom to be reserved for normal PVC devices by setting their
hard_header_len to 10. However, this does not work when these devices
are used with AF_PACKET/RAW sockets. Also, this driver does not request
this headroom for Ethernet-emulating PVC devices (but deals with this
problem by reallocating the skb when needed, which is not optimal).
This patch replaces hard_header_len with needed_headroom, and set
needed_headroom for Ethernet-emulating PVC devices, too. This makes
the driver to request headroom for all PVC devices in all cases.

Network devices can allocate reasources and private memory using
netdev_ops->ndo_init(). However, the release of these resources
can occur in one of two different places.
Either netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() or netdev->destructor().
The decision of which operation frees the resources depends upon
whether it is necessary for all netdev refs to be released before it
is safe to perform the freeing.
netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() presumably can occur right after the
NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier completes and the unicast and multicast
address lists are flushed.
netdev->destructor(), on the other hand, does not run until the
netdev references all go away.
Further complicating the situation is that netdev->destructor()
almost universally does also a free_netdev().
This creates a problem for the logic in register_netdevice().
Because all callers of register_netdevice() manage the freeing
of the netdev, and invoke free_netdev(dev) if register_netdevice()
fails.
If netdev_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, but something else fails inside
of register_netdevice(), it does call ndo_ops->ndo_uninit(). But
it is not able to invoke netdev->destructor().
This is because netdev->destructor() will do a free_netdev() and
then the caller of register_netdevice() will do the same.
However, this means that the resources that would normally be released
by netdev->destructor() will not be.
Over the years drivers have added local hacks to deal with this, by
invoking their destructor parts by hand when register_netdevice()
fails.
Many drivers do not try to deal with this, and instead we have leaks.
Let's close this hole by formalizing the distinction between what
private things need to be freed up by netdev->destructor() and whether
the driver needs unregister_netdevice() to perform the free_netdev().
netdev->priv_destructor() performs all actions to free up the private
resources that used to be freed by netdev->destructor(), except for
free_netdev().
netdev->needs_free_netdev is a boolean that indicates whether
free_netdev() should be done at the end of unregister_netdevice().
Now, register_netdevice() can sanely release all resources after
ndo_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, by invoking both ndo_ops->ndo_uninit()
and netdev->priv_destructor().
And at the end of unregister_netdevice(), we invoke
netdev->priv_destructor() and optionally call free_netdev().

Testing xmit_more support with netperf and connected UDP sockets,
I found strange dst refcount false sharing.
Current handling of IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is not optimal.
Dropping dst in validate_xmit_skb() is certainly too late in case
packet was queued by cpu X but dequeued by cpu Y
The logical point to take care of drop/force is in __dev_queue_xmit()
before even taking qdisc lock.
As Julian Anastasov pointed out, need for skb_dst() might come from some
packet schedulers or classifiers.
This patch adds new helper to cleanly express needs of various drivers
or qdiscs/classifiers.
Drivers that need skb_dst() in their ndo_start_xmit() should call
following helper in their setup instead of the prior :
dev->priv_flags &= ~IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE;
->
netif_keep_dst(dev);
Instead of using a single bit, we use two bits, one being
eventually rebuilt in bonding/team drivers.
The other one, is permanent and blocks IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE being
rebuilt in bonding/team. Eventually, we could add something
smarter later.

One point of contention in high network loads is the dst_release() performed
when a transmited skb is freed. This is because NIC tx completion calls
dev_kree_skb() long after original call to dev_queue_xmit(skb).
CPU cache is cold and the atomic op in dst_release() stalls. On SMP, this is
quite visible if one CPU is 100% handling softirqs for a network device,
since dst_clone() is done by other cpus, involving cache line ping pongs.
It seems right place to release dst is in dev_hard_start_xmit(), for most
devices but ones that are virtual, and some exceptions.
David Miller suggested to define a new device flag, set in alloc_netdev_mq()
(so that most devices set it at init time), and carefuly unset in devices
which dont want a NULL skb->dst in their ndo_start_xmit().
List of devices that must clear this flag is :
- loopback device, because it calls netif_rx() and quoting Patrick :
"ip_route_input() doesn't accept loopback addresses, so loopback packets
already need to have a dst_entry attached."
