We set the flag TUN_PKT_STRIP if the user buffer provided is too
small to contain the entire packet plus meta-data. However, this
has been broken ever since we added GSO meta-data. VLAN acceleration
also has the same problem.
This patch fixes this by taking both into account when setting the
TUN_PKT_STRIP flag.
The fact that this has been broken for six years without anyone
realising means that nobody actually uses this flag.

When VLAN acceleration is in use on the xmit path, we end up
setting csum_start to the wrong place. The result is that the
whoever ends up doing the checksum setting will corrupt the packet
instead of writing the checksum to the expected location, usually
this means writing the checksum with an offset of -4.
This patch fixes this by adjusting csum_start when VLAN acceleration
is detected.

IPv6 does not allow fragmentation by routers, so there is no
fragmentation ID in the fixed header. UFO for IPv6 requires the ID to
be passed separately, but there is no provision for this in the virtio
net protocol.
Until recently our software implementation of UFO/IPv6 generated a new
ID, but this was a bug. Now we will use ID=0 for any UFO/IPv6 packet
passed through a tap, which is even worse.
Unfortunately there is no distinction between UFO/IPv4 and v6
features, so disable UFO on taps and virtio_net completely until we
have a proper solution.
We cannot depend on VM managers respecting the tap feature flags, so
keep accepting UFO packets but log a warning the first time we do
this.

tun_do_read always adds current thread to wait queue, even if a packet
is ready to read. This is inefficient because both sleeper and waker
want to acquire the wait queue spin lock when packet rate is high.
We restructure the read function and use common kernel networking
routines to handle receive, sleep and wakeup. With the change
available packets are checked first before the reading thread is added
to the wait queue.
Ran performance tests with the following configuration:
- my packet generator -> tap1 -> br0 -> tap0 -> my packet consumer
- sender pinned to one core and receiver pinned to another core
- sender send small UDP packets (64 bytes total) as fast as it can
- sandy bridge cores
- throughput are receiver side goodput numbers
The results are
baseline: 731k pkts/sec, cpu utilization at 1.50 cpus
changed: 783k pkts/sec, cpu utilization at 1.53 cpus
The performance difference is largely determined by packet rate and
inter-cpu communication cost. For example, if the sender and
receiver are pinned to different cpu sockets, the results are
baseline: 558k pkts/sec, cpu utilization at 1.71 cpus
changed: 690k pkts/sec, cpu utilization at 1.67 cpus

tranmisssion through a stacked vlan device dev_hard_start_xmit, (incorrectly)

Add a new argument for ndo_select_queue() callback that passes a
fallback handler. This gets invoked through netdev_pick_tx();
fallback handler is currently __netdev_pick_tx() as most drivers
invoke this function within their customized implementation in
case for skbs that don't need any special handling. This fallback
handler can then be replaced on other call-sites with different
queue selection methods (e.g. in packet sockets, pktgen etc).
This also has the nice side-effect that __netdev_pick_tx() is
then only invoked from netdev_pick_tx() and export of that
function to modules can be undone.

A patch for fixing a race between queue selection and changing queues
was introduced in commit 92bb73ea2("tuntap: fix a possible race between
queue selection and changing queues").
The fix was to prevent the driver from re-reading the tun->numqueues
more than once within tun_select_queue() using ACCESS_ONCE().
We have been experiancing 'Divide-by-zero' errors in tun_net_xmit()
since we moved from 3.6 to 3.10, and believe that they come from a
simular source where the value of tun->numqueues changes to zero
between the first and a subsequent read of tun->numqueues.
The fix is a simular use of ACCESS_ONCE(), as well as a multiply
instead of a divide in the if statement.

Currently, the tx queue were selected implicitly in ndo_dfwd_start_xmit(). The
will cause several issues:
- NETIF_F_LLTX were removed for macvlan, so txq lock were done for macvlan
instead of lower device which misses the necessary txq synchronization for
lower device such as txq stopping or frozen required by dev watchdog or
control path.
- dev_hard_start_xmit() was called with NULL txq which bypasses the net device
watchdog.
- dev_hard_start_xmit() does not check txq everywhere which will lead a crash
when tso is disabled for lower device.
Fix this by explicitly introducing a new param for .ndo_select_queue() for just
selecting queues in the case of l2 forwarding offload. netdev_pick_tx() was also
extended to accept this parameter and dev_queue_xmit_accel() was used to do l2
forwarding transmission.
With this fixes, NETIF_F_LLTX could be preserved for macvlan and there's no need
to check txq against NULL in dev_hard_start_xmit(). Also there's no need to keep
a dedicated ndo_dfwd_start_xmit() and we can just reuse the code of
dev_queue_xmit() to do the transmission.
In the future, it was also required for macvtap l2 forwarding support since it
provides a necessary synchronization method.

This patch adds support so that the rps_flow_tables (RFS) can be
programmed using the tun flows which are already set up to track flows
for the purposes of queue selection.
On the receive path (corresponding to select_queue and tun_net_xmit) the
rxhash is saved in the flow_entry. The original code only does flow
lookup in select_queue, so this patch adds a flow lookup in tun_net_xmit
if num_queues == 1 (select_queue is not called from
dev_queue_xmit->netdev_pick_tx in that case).
The flow is recorded (processing CPU) in tun_flow_update (TX path), and
reset when flow is deleted.

There's a small problem with sk-filters on tun devices. Consider
an application doing this sequence of steps:
fd = open("/dev/net/tun");
ioctl(fd, TUNSETIFF, { .ifr_name = "tun0" });
ioctl(fd, TUNATTACHFILTER, &my_filter);
ioctl(fd, TUNSETPERSIST, 1);
close(fd);
At that point the tun0 will remain in the system and will keep in
mind that there should be a socket filter at address '&my_filter'.
If after that we do
fd = open("/dev/net/tun");
ioctl(fd, TUNSETIFF, { .ifr_name = "tun0" });
we most likely receive the -EFAULT error, since tun_attach() would
try to connect the filter back. But (!) if we provide a filter at
address &my_filter, then tun0 will be created and the "new" filter
would be attached, but application may not know about that.
This may create certain problems to anyone using tun-s, but it's
critical problem for c/r -- if we meet a persistent tun device
with a filter in mind, we will not be able to attach to it to dump
its state (flags, owner, address, vnethdr size, etc.).
The proposal is to allow to attach to tun device (with TUNSETIFF)
w/o attaching the filter to the tun-file's socket. After this
attach app may e.g clean the device by dropping the filter, it
doesn't want to have one, or (in case of c/r) get information
about the device with tun ioctls.

Tun devices cannot be created with ifidex user wants, but it's
required by checkpoint-restore project.
Long time ago such ability was implemented for rtnl_ops-based
interface for creating links (9c7dafbf net: Allow to create links
with given ifindex), but the only API for creating and managing
tuntap devices is ioctl-based and is evolving with adding new ones
(cde8b15f tuntap: add ioctl to attach or detach a file form tuntap
device).
Following that trend, here's how a new ioctl that sets the ifindex
for device, that _will_ be created by TUNSETIFF ioctl looks like.
So those who want a tuntap device with the ifindex N, should open
the tun device, call ioctl(fd, TUNSETIFINDEX, &N), then call TUNSETIFF.
If the index N is busy, then the register_netdev will find this out
and the ioctl would be failed with -EBUSY.
If setifindex is not called, then it will be generated as before.

We try to linearize part of the skb when the number of iov is greater than
MAX_SKB_FRAGS. This is not enough since each single vector may occupy more than
one pages, so zerocopy_sg_fromiovec() may still fail and may break the guest
network.
Solve this problem by calculate the pages needed for iov before trying to do
zerocopy and switch to use copy instead of zerocopy if it needs more than
MAX_SKB_FRAGS.
This is done through introducing a new helper to count the pages for iov, and
call uarg->callback() manually when switching from zerocopy to copy to notify
vhost.
We can do further optimization on top.

However, the dump handlers to not use this logic. Instead they have
