[ Upstream commit 7d3d43dab4e978d8d9ad1acf8af15c9b1c4b0f0f ]

We already synthesize events in register_netdevice_notifier and synthesizing
events in unregister_netdevice_notifier allows to us remove the need for
special case cleanup code.

This change should be safe as it adds no new cases for existing callers
of unregiser_netdevice_notifier to handle.

[ Upstream commit 2def16ae6b0c77571200f18ba4be049b03d75579 ]

Commit f04565ddf52 (dev: use name hash for dev_seq_ops) added a second
regression, as some devices are missing from /proc/net/dev if many
devices are defined.

When seq_file buffer is filled, the last ->next/show() method is
canceled (pos value is reverted to value prior ->next() call)

Problem is after above commit, we dont restart the lookup at right
position in ->start() method.

Fix this by removing the internal 'pos' pointer added in commit, since
we need to use the 'loff_t *pos' provided by seq_file layer.

This also reverts commit 5cac98dd0 (net: Fix corruption
in /proc/*/net/dev_mcast), since its not needed anymore.

gro: more generic L2 header check 2012-02-08T23:26:54+00:00 Eric Dumazet eric.dumazet@gmail.com 2012-02-08T08:51:50+00:00 5ca3b72c5da47d95b83857b768def6172fbc080a Shlomo Pongratz reported GRO L2 header check was suited for Ethernet only, and failed on IB/ipoib traffic. He provided a patch faking a zeroed header to let GRO aggregates frames. Roland Dreier, Herbert Xu, and others suggested we change GRO L2 header check to be more generic, ie not assuming L2 header is 14 bytes, but taking into account hard_header_len. __napi_gro_receive() has special handling for the common case (Ethernet) to avoid a memcmp() call and use an inline optimized function instead.
