As Michael point out, We used to limit the max pending DMAs to get better cache
utilization. But it was not done correctly since it was one done when there's no
new buffers submitted from guest. Guest can easily exceeds the limitation by
keeping sending packets.
So this patch moves the check into main loop. Tests shows about 5%-10%
improvement on per cpu throughput for guest tx.

Currently, even if the packet length is smaller than VHOST_GOODCOPY_LEN, if

We tend to batch the used adding and signaling in vhost_zerocopy_callback()
which may result more than 100 used buffers to be updated in
vhost_zerocopy_signal_used() in some cases. So switch to use
vhost_add_used_and_signal_n() to avoid multiple calls to
vhost_add_used_and_signal(). Which means much less times of used index
updating and memory barriers.

Fix the amount of sent bytes reported to BQL by reporting the
number of bytes on wire in the xmit routine, and recording that
value for each skb in order to be correctly confirmed on Tx
confirmation cleanup.
Reporting skb->len to BQL just before exiting xmit is not correct
due to possible insertions of TOE block and alignment bytes in the
skb->data, which are being stripped off by the controller before
transmission on wire. This led to mismatch of (incorrectly)
reported bytes to BQL b/w xmit and Tx confirmation, resulting in
Tx timeout firing, for the h/w tx timestamping acceleration case.
There's no easy way to obtain the number of bytes on wire in the Tx
confirmation routine, so skb->cb is used to convey that information
from xmit to Tx confirmation, for now (as proposed by Eric). Revived
the currently unused GFAR_CB() construct for that purpose.

We're using it currently to verify if we have vlans before getting the tag
from the skb we're about to send. It's useless because the vlan_get_tag()
verifies if the skb has the tag (and returns an error if not), and we can
receive tagged skbs only if we *already* have vlans.
Plus, the current RCUed implementation is kind of useless anyway - the we
can remove the last vlan in the moment we return from the function.
So remove the only usage of it and the whole function.

====================
Please accept this batch of updates intended for the 3.12 stream.
For the mac80211 bits, Johannes says this:
"This time I have various improvements all over the place: IBSS, mesh,
testmode, AP client powersave handling, one of the rare rfkill patches
and some code cleanup."
Also for mac80211:
"And I also have some more changes for -next, just a few small fixes and
improvements, nothing really stands out."
And for iwlwifi:
"This time I have some powersave work (notably uAPSD support), CQM
offloads, support for a new firmware API and various code cleanups."
Regarding the Bluetooth bits, Gustavo says:
"Patches to 3.12, here we have:
* implementation of a proper tty_port for RFCOMM devices, this fixes some
issues people were seeing lately in the kernel.
* Add voice_setting option for SCO, it is used for SCO Codec selection
* bugfixes, small improvements and clean ups"
For the NFC bits, Samuel says:
"With this one we have:
- A few pn533 improvements and minor fixes. Testing our pn533 driver
against Google's NCI stack triggered a few issues that we fixed now.
We also added Tx fragmentation support to this driver.
- More NFC secure element handling. We added a GET_SE netlink command
for getting all the discovered secure elements, and we defined 2
additional secure element netlink event (transaction and connectivity).
We also fixed a couple of typos and copy-paste bugs from the secure
element handling code.
- Firmware download support for the pn544 driver. This chipset can enter a
special mode where it's waiting for firmware blobs to replace the
already flashed one. We now support that mode."
With repect to the ath tree, Kalle says:
"New features in ath10k are rx/tx checsumming in hw and survey scan
implemented by Michal. Also he made fixes to different areas of the
driver, most notable being fixing the case when using two streams and
reducing the number of interface combinations to avoid firmware crashes.
Bartosz did a clean related to how we handle SoC power save in PCI
layer.
For ath6kl Mohammed and Vasanth sent each a patch to fix two infrequent
crashes."
I also pulled the wireless tree into wireless-next to support a
request from Johannes. On top of all that, there are the usual
sort of driver updates. The mwifiex, brcmfmac, brcmsmac, ath9k,
and rt2x00 drivers all get some attention, as does the bcma bus and
a few other random bits here and there.

This config option is superfluous in that it only guards a call
to neigh_app_ns(). Enabling CONFIG_ARPD by default has no
change in behavior. There will now be call to __neigh_notify()
for each ARP resolution, which has no impact unless there is a
user space daemon waiting to receive the notification, i.e.,
the case for which CONFIG_ARPD was designed anyways.

If the VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_CSUM virtio feature is available, the guest
does not have to calculate the checksums on all received packets. This
is pretty much the same feature as RX checksum offloading on real
network cards, so the virtio-net driver should report this by setting
the NETIF_F_RXCSUM flag. When the user now runs "ethtool -k", he or she
can see whether the virtio-net interface has to calculate RX checksums
or not.

net: set addr_assign_type when inheriting a dev_addr
Copying the dev_addr from a parent device is an operation
common to a number of drivers. The addr_assign_type should
be updated accordingly, either by reusing the value from
the source device or explicitly indicating that the address
is stolen by setting addr_assign_type to NET_ADDR_STOLEN.
This patch set adds a helper copying both the dev_addr and
the addr_assign_type, and use this helper in drivers which
don't currently set the addr_assign_type. Using NET_ADDR_STOLEN
might be more appropriate in some of these cases. Please
let me know, and I'll update the patch accordingly.
Changes in v2:
- assuming addr_len == ETH_ALEN to allow optimized memcpy
- dropped the vt6656 patch due to addr_len being unset in that driver
