H.323 that register *lots* of expectations and can set up permanent

hash table size, this can be overriden using a module parameter.

devices that can offload IPV4 and IPV6 only. The NETIF_F_HW_CSUM flag
implies device can do any arbitrary protocol.

This patch:
 * adds NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM for those devices
 * fixes bnx2 and tg3 devices that need it
 * add NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM to ipv6 output (incl GSO)

* RO header parsing and building (i.e. RH2 and HAO in DSTOPTS)
* XFRM policy/state database handling for RO

The attribute looks like this:

Patrick McHardy [Mon, 25 Jun 2007 11:35:20 +0000 (04:35 -0700)]
[SKBUFF]: Keep track of writable header len of headerless clones

Currently NAT (and others) that want to modify cloned skbs copy them,
even if in the vast majority of cases its not necessary because the
skb is a clone made by TCP and the portion NAT wants to modify is
actually writable because TCP release the header reference before
cloning.

The problem is that there is no clean way for NAT to find out how
long the writable header area is, so this patch introduces skb->hdr_len
to hold this length. When a headerless skb is cloned skb->hdr_len
is set to the current headroom, for regular clones it is copied from
the original. A new function skb_clone_writable(skb, len) returns
whether the skb is writable up to len bytes from skb->data. To avoid
enlarging the skb the mac_len field is reduced to 16 bit and the
new hdr_len field is put in the remaining 16 bit.

I've done a few rough benchmarks of NAT (not with this exact patch,
but a very similar one). As expected it saves huge amounts of system
time in case of sendfile, bringing it down to basically the same
amount as without NAT, with sendmsg it only helps on loopback,
probably because of the large MTU.

Transmit a 1GB file using sendfile/sendmsg over eth0/lo with and
without NAT:

- sendfile eth0, no NAT: sys     0m0.388s
- sendfile eth0, NAT: sys     0m1.835s
- sendfile eth0: NAT + path: sys     0m0.370s (~ -80%)

- sendfile lo, no NAT: sys     0m0.258s
- sendfile lo, NAT: sys     0m2.609s
- sendfile lo, NAT + patch: sys     0m0.260s (~ -90%)

- sendmsg eth0, no NAT: sys     0m2.508s
- sendmsg eth0, NAT: sys     0m2.539s
- sendmsg eth0, NAT + patch: sys     0m2.445s (no change)

- sendmsg lo, no NAT: sys 0m2.151s
- sendmsg lo, NAT: sys     0m3.557s
- sendmsg lo, NAT + patch: sys     0m2.159s (~ -40%)

I expect other users can see a similar performance improvement,

- netif_queue_stopped need not be called inside qdisc_restart as
  it has been called already in qdisc_run() before the first skb
  is sent, and in __qdisc_run() after each intermediate skb is
  sent (note : we are the only sender, so the queue cannot get
  stopped while the tx lock was got in the ~LLTX case).

- BUG_ON((int) q->q.qlen < 0) was a relic from old times when -1
  meant more packets are available, and __qdisc_run used to loop
  when qdisc_restart() returned -1. During those days, it was
  necessary to make sure that qlen is never less than zero, since
  __qdisc_run would get into an infinite loop if no packets are on
  the queue and this bug in qdisc was there (and worse - no more
  skbs could ever get queue'd as we hold the queue lock too). With
  Herbert's recent change to return values, this check is not
  required.  Hopefully Herbert can validate this change. If at all
  this is required, it should be added to skb_dequeue (in failure

New changes :

- Incorporated Peter Waskiewicz's comments.
- Re-added back one warning message (on driver returning wrong value).

Previous changes :

- Converted to use switch/case code which looks neater.

- "if (ret == NETDEV_TX_LOCKED && lockless)" is buggy, and the lockless
  check should be removed, since driver will return NETDEV_TX_LOCKED only
  if lockless is true and driver has to do the locking. In the original
  code as well as the latest code, this code can result in a bug where
  if LLTX is not set for a driver (lockless == 0) but the driver is written
  wrongly to do a trylock (despite LLTX being set), the driver returns
  LOCKED. But since lockless is zero, the packet is requeue'd instead of
  calling collision code which will issue warning and free up the skb.
  Instead this skb will be retried with this driver next time, and the same
  result will ensue. Removing this check will catch these driver bugs instead
  of hiding the problem. I am keeping this change to readability section
  since :
   a. it is confusing to check two things as it is; and
   b. it is difficult to keep this check in the changed 'switch' code.

- Changed some names, like try_get_tx_pkt to dev_dequeue_skb (as that is
  the work being done and easier to understand) and do_dev_requeue to
  dev_requeue_skb, merged handle_dev_cpu_collision and tx_islocked to
  dev_handle_collision (handle_dev_cpu_collision is a small routine with only
  one caller, so there is no need to have two separate routines which also
  results in getting rid of two macros, etc.

- Removed an XXX comment as it should never fail (I suspect this was related
  to batch skb WIP, Jamal ?). Converted some functions to original coding
  style of having the return values and the function name on same line, eg
