Commit 5fd29d6ccbc98884569d6f3105aeca70858b3e0f ("printk: clean up
handling of log-levels and newlines") changed printk semantics.  printk
lines with multiple KERN_&lt;level&gt; prefixes are no longer emitted as
before the patch.

&lt;level&gt; is now included in the output on each additional use.

Remove all uses of multiple KERN_&lt;level&gt;s in formats.

Fix up remaining drivers returning a magic or an errno value from their
ndo_start_xmit() functions that were missed in the first pass:

- isdn_net: missed conversion
- bpqether: missed conversion: skb is freed, so return NETDEV_TX_OK
- hp100: intention appears to be to resubmit skb once resources are
  available, but due to no queue handling it is dropped for now.
- lapbether: skb is freed, so return NETDEV_TX_OK

Convert magic values 1 and -1 to NETDEV_TX_BUSY and NETDEV_TX_LOCKED respectively.

0 (NETDEV_TX_OK) is not changed to keep the noise down, except in very few cases
where its in direct proximity to one of the other values.

Fix up WAN drivers that return an errno value to qdisc_restart(), causing
qdisc_restart() to print a warning an requeue/retransmit the skb.

- cycx_x25: intention appears to be to requeue the skb

Does not compile cleanly for me even without this patch, so untested.

This replaces dma_sync_single() with dma_sync_single_for_cpu() because
dma_sync_single() is an obsolete API; include/linux/dma-mapping.h says:

<title>net: release dst entry in dev_hard_start_xmit()</title>

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-&gt;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."
- appletalk/ipddp.c : needs skb-&gt;dst in its xmit function

- And all devices that call again dev_queue_xmit() from their xmit function
(as some classifiers need skb-&gt;dst) : bonding, vlan, macvlan, eql, ifb, hdlc_fr
