We don't have fraglist support in TAP_FEATURES. This will lead
software segmentation of gro skb with frag list. Fixes by having
frag list support in TAP_FEATURES.

With this patch single session of netperf receiving were restored from
about 5Gb/s to about 12Gb/s on mlx4.

<title>macvtap: fix TUNSETSNDBUF values &gt; 64k</title>

<content type='text'>
Upon TUNSETSNDBUF,  macvtap reads the requested sndbuf size into
a local variable u.
commit 39ec7de7092b ("macvtap: fix uninitialized access on
TUNSETIFF") changed its type to u16 (which is the right thing to
do for all other macvtap ioctls), breaking all values &gt; 64k.

The value of TUNSETSNDBUF is actually a signed 32 bit integer, so
the right thing to do is to read it into an int.

Network header is set with offset ETH_HLEN but it is not true for VLAN
(multiple-)tagged and results in checksum issues in lower devices.

Pull virtio/vhost cross endian support from Michael Tsirkin:
 "I have just queued some more bugfix patches today but none fix
  regressions and none are related to these ones, so it looks like a
  good time for a merge for -rc1.

  The motivation for this is support for legacy BE guests on the new LE
  hosts.  There are two redeeming properties that made me merge this:

   - It's a trivial amount of code: since we wrap host/guest accesses
     anyway, almost all of it is well hidden from drivers.

   - Sane platforms would never set flags like VHOST_CROSS_ENDIAN_LEGACY,
     and when it's clear, there's zero overhead (as some point it was
     tested by compiling with and without the patches, got the same
     stripped binary).

  Maybe we could create a Kconfig symbol to enforce the second point:
  prevent people from enabling it eg on x86.  I will look into this"

Macvtap should be compatible with tuntap for
maximum number of queues.

commit 'baf71c5c1f80d82e92924050a60b5baaf97e3094 (tuntap:
Increase the number of queues in tun.)' removes
the limitations and increases number of queues in tuntap.
Now, Its safe to increase number of queues in Macvtap as well.

This patch also modifies 'macvtap_del_queues' function
to avoid extra memory allocation in stack.

Changes from v1-&gt;v2 :
Michael S. Tsirkin, Jason Wang  :
                  Better way to use linked list to
avoid use of extra memory in stack.
Sergei Shtylyov : Specify dependent commit's summary.

<content type='text'>
The VNET_LE flag was introduced to fix accesses to virtio 1.0 headers
that are always little-endian. It can also be used to handle the special
case of a legacy little-endian device implemented by a big-endian host.

Let's add a flag and ioctls for big-endian devices as well. If both flags
are set, little-endian wins.

Since this is isn't a common usecase, the feature is controlled by a kernel
config option (not set by default).

Both macvtap and tun are covered by this patch since they share the same
API with userland.

The current memory accessors logic is:
- little endian if little_endian
- native endian (i.e. no byteswap) if !little_endian

If we want to fully support cross-endian vhost, we also need to be
able to convert to big endian.

Instead of changing the little_endian argument to some 3-value enum, this
patch changes the logic to:
- little endian if little_endian
- big endian if !little_endian

The native endian case is handled by all users with a trivial helper. This
patch doesn't change any functionality, nor it does add overhead.
