It turns out that copying a 16-byte area at ~800k times a second
can be really expensive :) This patch redesigns the frags GRO
interface to avoid copying that area twice.

The two disciples of the frags interface have been converted.

This patch adds GRO interfaces for hardware-assisted VLAN reception.
With this in place we're now at parity with LRO as far as the
interface is concerned.  That is, you can now take any LRO driver
and convert it over to GRO.

As the CB memory clashes with GRO's use of CB, I've removed it
entirely by storing dev in skb-&gt;dev.  This is OK because VLAN
gets called first thing in netif_receive_skb and skb-&gt;dev is
not used in between us calling netif_rx and netif_receive_skb
getting called.

<title>net: fix packet socket delivery in rx irq handler</title>

<content type='text'>
The changes to deliver hardware accelerated VLAN packets to packet
sockets (commit bc1d0411) caused a warning for non-NAPI drivers.
The __vlan_hwaccel_rx() function is called directly from the drivers
RX function, for non-NAPI drivers that means its still in RX IRQ
context:

[   27.779463] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[   27.779509] WARNING: at kernel/softirq.c:136 local_bh_enable+0x37/0x81()

[   27.782878]  [&lt;c0105fd5&gt;] do_IRQ+0x4d/0x64

Split hardware accelerated VLAN reception into two parts to fix this:

- __vlan_hwaccel_rx just stores the VLAN TCI and performs the VLAN
  device lookup, then calls netif_receive_skb()/netif_rx()

- vlan_hwaccel_do_receive(), which is invoked by netif_receive_skb()
  in softirq context, performs the real reception and delivery to
  packet sockets.

Use a real skb member to store the skb to avoid clashes with qdiscs,
which are allowed to use the cb area themselves. As currently only real
devices that consume the skb set the NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_TX flag, no explicit
invalidation is neccessary.

The new member fills a hole on 64 bit, the skb layout changes from:

        __u32                      mark;                 /*   172     4 */

- vlan_dev_reorder_header() is only called on the receive path after
  calling skb_share_check(). This means we can use skb_cow() since
  all we need is a writable header.

- vlan_dev_hard_header() includes a work-around for some apparently
  broken out of tree MPLS code. The hard_header functions can expect
  to always have a headroom of at least there own hard_header_len
  available, so the reallocation check is unnecessary.

- __vlan_put_tag() can use skb_cow_head() to avoid the skb_unshare()
  copy when the header is writable.

The VLAN code contains multiple spots that use tag, id and tci as
identifiers for arguments and variables incorrectly and they actually
contain or are expected to contain something different. Additionally
types are used inconsistently (unsigned short vs u16) and identifiers
are sometimes capitalized.

- consistently use u16 for storing TCI, ID or QoS values
- consistently use vlan_id and vlan_tci for storing the respective values
- remove capitalization
- add kdoc comment to netif_hwaccel_{rx,receive_skb}

The function is huge and included at least once in every VLAN acceleration
capable driver. Uninline it; to avoid having drivers depend on the VLAN
module, the function is always built in statically when VLAN is enabled.

With all VLAN acceleration capable drivers that build on x86_64 enabled,
this results in:
