net: device name allocation cleanups
introduced a bug when there is a hash collision making impossible
to rename a device with eth%d. This bug is very hard to reproduce
and appears rarely.
The problem is coming from we don't pass a temporary buffer to
__dev_alloc_name but 'dev->name' which is modified by the function.
A detailed explanation is here:

Dan reported the patch 0baa080c75: "ethoc: use system memory
as buffer" introduced a potential null dereference.
1060 free:
1061 if (priv->dma_alloc)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
priv can be null here.
He also suggested that the error handling is not complete.
This patch fixes the null priv issue and improves resources
releasing in ethoc_probe() and ethoc_remove().

Author: Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org>

Subject: rtnetlink: make SR-IOV VF interface symmetric
adds broken error handling to do_setlink() in net/core/rtnetlink.c. The
problem is the following chunk of code:
if (tb[IFLA_VFINFO_LIST]) {
struct nlattr *attr;
int rem;
nla_for_each_nested(attr, tb[IFLA_VFINFO_LIST], rem) {
if (nla_type(attr) != IFLA_VF_INFO)
----> goto errout;
err = do_setvfinfo(dev, attr);
if (err < 0)
goto errout;
modified = 1;
}
}
which can get to errout without setting err, resulting in the following error:
net/core/rtnetlink.c: In function 'do_setlink':
net/core/rtnetlink.c:904: warning: 'err' may be used uninitialized in this function
Change the code to return -EINVAL in this case. Note that this might not be
the appropriate error though.

tc_fill_qdisc() should not be called for builtin qdisc, or it
dereference a NULL pointer to get device ifindex.
Fix is to always use tc_qdisc_dump_ignore() before calling

Fix some issues introduced in batch skb dequeuing for input_pkt_queue.
The primary issue it that the queue head must be incremented only
after a packet has been processed, that is only after
__netif_receive_skb has been called. This is needed for the mechanism
to prevent OOO packet in RFS. Also when flushing the input_pkt_queue
and process_queue, the process queue should be done first to prevent
OOO packets.
Because the input_pkt_queue has been effectively split into two queues,
the calculation of the tail ptr is no longer correct. The correct value
would be head+input_pkt_queue->len+process_queue->len. To avoid
this calculation we added an explict input_queue_tail in softnet_data.
The tail value is simply incremented when queuing to input_pkt_queue.

When GRO produces fraglist entries, and the resulting skb hits
an interface that is incapable of TSO but capable of FRAGLIST,
we end up producing a bogus packet with gso_size non-zero.
This was reported in the field with older versions of KVM that
did not set the TSO bits on tuntap.
This patch fixes that.

This adds support for a new copper device for 82599, device id 0x151c.
This 82599 10GBase-T device uses the PHY's internal temperature sensor
to guard against over-temp conditions. In this scenario the PHY will be
put in a low power mode and link will no longer be able to transmit or
receive any data. When this occurs, the over-temp interrupt is latched
and driver logs this error message. A HW reset or power cycle is
required to clear this status.

Right now quirks are printed only when the are manually overriden with
the module parameters. It's not so useful to remind the user that his
parameters are correctly applied; what is useful is to print out the
quirks the user is not aware are being applied.
So let's do the smart thing and print the quirks when they are present.
