refcount_t type and corresponding API should be used instead of atomic_t when the variable is used as a reference counter. This allows to avoid accidental refcounter overflows that might lead to use-after-free situations.

attribute_groups are not supposed to change at runtime. All functions working with attribute_groups provided by <linux/device.h> work with const attribute_group.

The previous idea was to check whether a net namespace is in
net_exit_list or not. It doesn't work, because net->exit_list is used in
__register_pernet_operations and __unregister_pernet_operations where
all namespaces are added to a temporary list to make cleanup in a error
case, so list_empty(&net->exit_list) always returns false.

This patch adds support for setting and using XPS when QoS via traffic classes is enabled. With this change we will factor in the priority and traffic class mapping of the packet and use that information to correctly select the queue. This allows us to define a set of queues for a given traffic class via mqprio and then configure the XPS mapping for those queues so that the traffic flows can avoid head-of-line blocking between the individual CPUs if so desired.

Add a sysfs attribute for a Tx queue that allows us to determine the traffic class for a given queue. This will allow us to more easily determine this in the future. It is needed as XPS will take the traffic class for a group of queues into account in order to avoid pulling traffic from one traffic class into another.

No one can see these events, because a network namespace can not be
destroyed, if it has sockets.
Unlike other devices, uevent-s for network devices are generated
only inside their network namespaces. They are filtered in
kobj_bcast_filter()
My experiments shows that net namespaces are destroyed more 30% faster
with this optimization.
Here is a perf output for destroying network namespaces without this
patch.

It's very critical to optimize the exit path for network namespaces,
because they are destroyed under net_mutex and many namespaces can be
destroyed for one iteration.

This patch introduces a new event - NETDEV_CHANGE_TX_QUEUE_LEN, this will be triggered when tx_queue_len. It could be used by net device who want to do some processing at that time. An example is tun who may want to resize tx array when tx_queue_len is changed.
