Currently ndo_bridge_setlink and ndo_bridge_dellink handlers point
to the default switchdev handlers

This follows my bonding driver changes.

I have only compile tested this patch. However similar
bonding code has been tested.

Minor overlapping changes in xen-netfront.c, mostly to do
with some buffer management changes alongside the split
of stats into TX and RX.

<title>team: avoid possible underflow of count_pending value for notify_peers and mcast_rejoin</title>

<id>b0d11b42785b70e19bc6a3122eead3f7969a7589</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch is fixing a race condition that may cause setting
count_pending to -1, which results in unwanted big bulk of arp messages
(in case of "notify peers").

Consider following scenario:

count_pending == 2
   CPU0                                           CPU1
					team_notify_peers_work
					  atomic_dec_and_test (dec count_pending to 1)
					  schedule_delayed_work
 team_notify_peers
   atomic_add (adding 1 to count_pending)
					team_notify_peers_work
					  atomic_dec_and_test (dec count_pending to 1)
					  schedule_delayed_work
					team_notify_peers_work
					  atomic_dec_and_test (dec count_pending to 0)
   schedule_delayed_work
					team_notify_peers_work
					  atomic_dec_and_test (dec count_pending to -1)

Fix this race by using atomic_dec_if_positive - that will prevent
count_pending running under 0.

Therefore the ports list is guarenteed to be empty and this code will

<title>net: generic dev_disable_lro() stacked device handling</title>

<id>fbe168ba91f7c327856f205699404284c2f09e36</id>
<content type='text'>
Large receive offloading is known to cause problems if received packets
are passed to other host. Therefore the kernel disables it by calling
dev_disable_lro() whenever a network device is enslaved in a bridge or
forwarding is enabled for it (or globally). For virtual devices we need
to disable LRO on the underlying physical device (which is actually
receiving the packets).

Current dev_disable_lro() code handles this  propagation for a vlan
(including 802.1ad nested vlan), macvlan or a vlan on top of a macvlan.
It doesn't handle other stacked devices and their combinations, in
particular propagation from a bond to its slaves which often causes
problems in virtualization setups.

As we now have generic data structures describing the upper-lower device
relationship, dev_disable_lro() can be generalized to disable LRO also
for all lower devices (if any) once it is disabled for the device
itself.

For bonding and teaming devices, it is necessary to disable LRO not only
on current slaves at the moment when dev_disable_lro() is called but
also on any slave (port) added later.

v2: use lower device links for all devices (including vlan and macvlan)

<title>net: better IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE support</title>

<content type='text'>
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-&gt;priv_flags &amp;= ~IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE;
-&gt;
	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.

<title>team: avoid race condition in scheduling delayed work</title>

When team_notify_peers and team_mcast_rejoin are called, they both reset
their respective .count_pending atomic variable. Then when the actual
worker function is executed, the variable is atomically decremented.
This pattern introduces a potential race condition where the
.count_pending rolls over and the worker function keeps rescheduling
until .count_pending decrements to zero again:

THREAD 1                           THREAD 2

========                           ========
team_notify_peers(teamX)
  atomic_set count_pending = 1
  schedule_delayed_work
                                   team_notify_peers(teamX)
                                   atomic_set count_pending = 1
team_notify_peers_work
  atomic_dec_and_test
    count_pending = 0
  (return)
                                   schedule_delayed_work
                                   team_notify_peers_work
                                   atomic_dec_and_test

                                   (repeat until count_pending = 0)

Instead of assigning a new value to .count_pending, use atomic_add to
tack-on the additional desired worker function invocations.

When one tries to add eth as a port into team and that eth is already in
use by other rx_handler device (macvlan, bond, bridge, ...) a bug in
team_port_add() causes that IFF_TEAM_PORT flag is set before rx_handler
is registered. In between, netdev nofifier is called and
team_device_event() sees IFF_TEAM_PORT and thinks that rx_handler_data
pointer is set to team_port. But it isn't.

Fix this by reordering rx_handler register and IFF_TEAM_PORT priv flag
set so it is very similar to how bonding does this.
