83a093b486 net: etherdevice: add address inherit helper
Some etherdevices inherit their address from a parent or
master device. The addr_assign_type should be updated along
with the address in these cases.  Adding a helper function
to simplify this.

fa0879e37b net: split eth_mac_addr for better error handling
When we set mac address, software mac address in system and hardware mac
address all need to be updated. Current eth_mac_addr() doesn't allow
callers to implement error handling nicely.

This patch split eth_mac_addr() to prepare part and real commit part,
then we can prepare first, and try to change hardware address, then do
the real commit if hardware address is set successfully.

2bc80059fe eth: Rename and properly align br_reserved_address array
Since this array is no longer part of the bridge driver, it should
have an 'eth' prefix not 'br'.

We also assume that either it's 16-bit-aligned or the architecture has
efficient unaligned access.  Ensure the first of these is true by
explicitly aligning it.

b3343a2a2c net, ixgbe: handle link local multicast addresses in SR-IOV mode
In SR-IOV mode the PF driver acts as the uplink port and is
used to send control packets e.g. lldpad, stp, etc.

   eth0.1     eth0.2     eth0
   VF         VF         PF
   |          |          |   <-- stand-in for uplink
   |          |          |
  --------------------------
  |  Embedded Switch       |
  --------------------------
              |
             MAC   <-- uplink

But the embedded switch is setup to forward multicast addresses
to all interfaces both VFs and PF and onto the physical link.
This results in reserved MAC addresses used by control protocols
to be forwarded over the switch onto the VF.

In the LLDP case the PF sends an LLDPDU and it is currently
being forwarded to all the VFs who then see the PF as a peer.
This is incorrect.

This patch adds the multicast addresses to the RAR table in the
hardware to prevent this behavior.

1c430a727f net: compare_ether_addr[_64bits]() has no ordering
Neither compare_ether_addr() nor compare_ether_addr_64bits()
(as it can fall back to the former) have comparison semantics
like memcmp() where the sign of the return value indicates sort
order. We had a bug in the wireless code due to a blind memcmp
replacement because of this.

A cursory look suggests that the wireless bug was the only one
due to this semantic difference.

1a0d6ae579 rename dev_hw_addr_random and remove redundant second
Renamed dev_hw_addr_random to eth_hw_addr_random() to reflect that
this function only assign a random ethernet address (MAC). Removed
the second parameter (u8 *hwaddr), it's redundant since the also
given net_device already contains net_device->dev_addr.
Set it directly.

Adapt igbvf and ixgbevf to the changed function.

Small fix for ixgbevf_probe(): if ixgbevf_sw_init() fails
(which means the device got no dev_addr) handle the error and
jump to err_sw_init as already done by igbvf in similar case.

arches if CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS is defined.

__napi_gro_receive() and vlan_gro_common() can avoid a conditional

On x86_64, __napi_gro_receive() has now 38 instructions instead of 53

As gcc-4.4.3 still choose to not inline it, add inline keyword to this

c1f79426e2 sysfs: add attribute to indicate hw address assignment type
Add addr_assign_type to struct net_device and expose it via sysfs.
This new attribute has the purpose of giving user-space the ability to
distinguish between different assignment types of MAC addresses.

For example user-space can treat NICs with randomly generated MAC
addresses differently than NICs that have permanent (locally assigned)
MAC addresses.
For the former udev could write a persistent net rule by matching the
device path instead of the MAC address.
There's also the case of devices that 'steal' MAC addresses from slave
devices. In which it is also be beneficial for user-space to be aware
of the fact.

This patch also introduces a helper function to assist adoption of
drivers that generate MAC addresses randomly.

f001fde5ea net: introduce a list of device addresses dev_addr_list (v6)
v5 -> v6 (current):
-removed so far unused static functions
-corrected dev_addr_del_multiple to call del instead of add

v4 -> v5:
-added device address type (suggested by davem)
-removed refcounting (better to have simplier code then safe potentially few
 bytes)

v3 -> v4:
-changed kzalloc to kmalloc in __hw_addr_add_ii()
-ASSERT_RTNL() avoided in dev_addr_flush() and dev_addr_init()

v2 -> v3:
-removed unnecessary rcu read locking
-moved dev_addr_flush() calling to ensure no null dereference of dev_addr

v1 -> v2:
-added forgotten ASSERT_RTNL to dev_addr_init and dev_addr_flush
-removed unnecessary rcu_read locking in dev_addr_init
-use compare_ether_addr_64bits instead of compare_ether_addr
-use L1_CACHE_BYTES as size for allocating struct netdev_hw_addr
-use call_rcu instead of rcu_synchronize
-moved is_etherdev_addr into __KERNEL__ ifdef

This patch introduces a new list in struct net_device and brings a set of
functions to handle the work with device address list. The list is a replacement
for the original dev_addr field and because in some situations there is need to
carry several device addresses with the net device. To be backward compatible,
dev_addr is made to point to the first member of the list so original drivers
sees no difference.

1f87e235e6 eth: Declare an optimized compare_ether_addr_64bits() function
Linus mentioned we could try to perform long word operations, even
on potentially unaligned addresses, on x86 at least. David mentioned
the HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS test to handle this on all
arches that have efficient unailgned accesses.

I tried this idea and got nice assembly on 32 bits:

158:   33 82 38 01 00 00       xor    0x138(%edx),%eax
15e:   33 8a 34 01 00 00       xor    0x134(%edx),%ecx
164:   c1 e0 10                shl    $0x10,%eax
167:   09 c1                   or     %eax,%ecx
169:   74 0b                   je     176 <eth_type_trans+0x87>

And very nice assembly on 64 bits of course (one xor, one shl)

Nice oprofile improvement in eth_type_trans(), 0.17 % instead of 0.41 %,
expected since we remove 8 instructions on a fast path.

This patch implements a compare_ether_addr_64bits() function, that
uses the CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS ifdef to efficiently
perform the 6 bytes comparison on all capable arches.
