When a driver writer calls this, they generally expect that
all previous stores and modifications they've made will be
visible before netif_poll_enable() executes, so ensure this.

hh_lock was converted from rwlock to seqlock by Stephen.

To have a 100% benefit of this change, I suggest to place read mostly fields
of hh_cache in a separate cache line, because hh_refcnt may be changed quite
frequently on some busy machines.

The hard header cache is in the main output path, so using
seqlock instead of reader/writer lock should reduce overhead.

<title>[TCP/DCCP]: Introduce net_xmit_eval</title>

Throughout the TCP/DCCP (and tunnelling) code, it often happens that the
return code of a transmit function needs to be tested against NET_XMIT_CN
which is a value that does not indicate a strict error condition.

This patch uses a macro for these recurring situations which is consistent
with the already existing macro net_xmit_errno, saving on duplicated code.

MAX_HEADER is either set to LL_MAX_HEADER or LL_MAX_HEADER + 48, and
this is controlled by a set of CONFIG_* ifdef tests.

It is trying to use LL_MAX_HEADER + 48 when any of the tunnels are
enabled which set hard_header_len like this:

dev-&gt;hard_header_len = LL_MAX_HEADER + sizeof(struct xxx);

The correct set of tunnel drivers which do this are:

ipip
ip_gre
ip6_tunnel
sit

so make the ifdef test match.

Noticed by Patrick McHardy and with help from Herbert Xu.
