We know for sure pktgen is going to write skb->data right after
*_alloc_skb, causing unnecessary cache misses.
Idea is to add a prefetchw() call to prefetch the first cache line
indicated by skb->data. On systems with Adjacent Cache Line Prefetch,
it's probably two cache lines are prefetched.
With this patch, pktgen on Intel SR1625 server with two E5530
quad-core processors and a single ixgbe-based NIC went from 8.63Mpps
to 9.03Mpps, with 4.6% improvement.

Unloading pktgen module needs ~6 seconds on a 64 cpus machine, to stop

Add a pktgen_exiting variable to let kernel threads die faster, so that
kthread_stop() doesnt have to wait too long for them. This variable is
not tested in fast path.
Note : Before exiting from pktgen_thread_worker(), we must make sure

A program that accidentally writes too much data to the pktgen file can overflow
the kernel stack and oops the machine. This is only triggerable by root, so
there's no security issue, but it's still an unfortunate bug.
printk() won't print more than 1024 bytes in a single call, anyways, so let's
just never copy more than that much data. We're on a fairly shallow stack, so
that should be safe even with CONFIG_4KSTACKS.

The temporary variable "i" is needlessly initialized to zero
in two distinct cases in this file:
1) where it is set to zero and then used as an argument in an addition
before being assigned a non-zero value.
2) where it is only used in a standard/typical loop counter
For (1), simply delete assignment to zero and usages while still
zero; for (2) simply make the loop start at zero as per standard
practice as seen everywhere else in the same file.

This patch increases the granularity of the rate generated by pktgen.
The previous version of pktgen uses micro seconds (udelay) resolution when it

Now any rate is possible.

Commit e6fce5b916 (pktgen: multiqueue etc.) tried to relax
the pktgen restriction of one device per kernel thread, adding a '@'
tag to device names.
Problem is we dont perform check on full pktgen device name.
This allows adding many time same 'device' to pktgen thread
pgset "add_device eth0@0"
one session later :
pgset "add_device eth0@0"
(This doesnt find previous device)
This consumes ~1.5 MBytes of vmalloc memory per round and also triggers
this warning :

It is not currently possible to instruct pktgen to use one selected tx queue.
When Robert added multiqueue support in commit 45b270f8, he added
an interval (queue_map_min, queue_map_max), and his code doesnt take
into account the case of min = max, to select one tx queue exactly.
I suspect a high performance setup on a eight txqueue device wants
to use exactly eight cpus, and assign one tx queue to each sender.
This patchs makes pktgen select the right tx queue, not the first one.
Also updates Documentation to reflect Robert changes.

Previous update did not resched in inner loop causing watchdogs.
Rewrite inner loop to:
* account for delays better with less clock calls
* more accurate timing of delay:
- only delay if packet was successfully sent
- if delay is 100ns and it takes 10ns to build packet then
account for that
* use wait_event_interruptible_timeout rather than open coding it.
