net: get rid of SET_ETHTOOL_OPS

Dave Miller mentioned he'd like to see SET_ETHTOOL_OPS gone.
This does that.

Mostly done via coccinelle script:
@@
struct ethtool_ops *ops;
struct net_device *dev;
@@
-       SET_ETHTOOL_OPS(dev, ops);
+       dev-&gt;ethtool_ops = ops;

Compile tested only, but I'd seriously wonder if this broke anything.

<title>virtio-net: Set needed_headroom for virtio-net when VIRTIO_F_ANY_LAYOUT is true</title>

This is a small supplement for commit e7428e95a06fb516fac1308bd0e176e27c0b9287
("virtio-net: put virtio-net header inline with data"). TCP packages have
enough room to put virtio-net header in, but UDP packages do not. By
setting dev-&gt;needed_headroom for virtio-net device, UDP packages could have
enough room.

For UDP packages, sk_buff is alloced in fun __ip_append_data. The size is
"alloclen + hh_len + 15", and "hh_len = LL_RESERVED_SPACE(rt-dst.dev);".
The Macro is defined as follows:
#define LL_RESERVED_SPACE(dev) \
     ((((dev)-&gt;hard_header_len+(dev)-&gt;needed_headroom)\
     &amp;~(HH_DATA_MOD - 1)) + HH_DATA_MOD)
By default, for UDP packages, after skb is allocated, only 16 bytes
reserved. And 2 bytes remained after mac header is set. That is not enough
to put virtio-net header in. If we set dev-&gt;needed_headroom to 12 or 10
(according to mergeable_rx_bufs is on or off ), more room can be reserved.
Then there is enough room for UDP packages to put the header in.

Execute "ethtool -L eth0 combined 0" in guest, if multiqueue
is enabled, virtnet_send_command() will return -EINVAL error,
there is a validation in QEMU.

But if multiqueue is disabled, virtnet_set_queues() will just
return zero (success). We should return error for this situation.

<title>virtio-net: correct error handling of virtqueue_kick()</title>

<id>681daee2443291419c57cccb0671f5f94a839005</id>
<content type='text'>
Current error handling of virtqueue_kick() was wrong in two places:
- The skb were freed immediately when virtqueue_kick() fail during
  xmit. This may lead double free since the skb was not detached from
  the virtqueue.
- try_fill_recv() returns false when virtqueue_kick() fail. This will
  lead unnecessary rescheduling of refill work.

Actually, it's safe to just ignore the kick failure in those two
places. So this patch fixes this by partially revert commit
67975901183799af8e93ec60e322f9e2a1940b9b.

Fixes 67975901183799af8e93ec60e322f9e2a1940b9b
(virtio_net: verify if virtqueue_kick() succeeded).

  xmit. This may lead double free since the skb was not detached from
  the virtqueue.
- try_fill_recv() returns false when virtqueue_kick() fail. This will
  lead unnecessary rescheduling of refill work.

Actually, it's safe to just ignore the kick failure in those two
places. So this patch fixes this by partially revert commit
67975901183799af8e93ec60e322f9e2a1940b9b.

Fixes 67975901183799af8e93ec60e322f9e2a1940b9b
(virtio_net: verify if virtqueue_kick() succeeded).

Replace dev_kfree_skb with dev_kfree_skb_any in start_xmit which can
be called in hard irq and other contexts.

start_xmit only frees skbs that it is dropping.

Replace the bh safe variant with the hard irq safe variant.

We need a hard irq safe variant to deal with netpoll transmitting
packets from hard irq context, and we need it in most if not all of
the places using the bh safe variant.

Except on 32bit uni-processor the code is exactly the same so don't
bother with a bh variant, just have a hard irq safe variant that
everyone can use.

A bad implementation of virtio might cause us to mark the virtqueue
broken: we'll dev_err() in that case, and the device is useless, but
let's not BUG_ON().
