net: device name allocation cleanups
introduced a bug when there is a hash collision making impossible
to rename a device with eth%d. This bug is very hard to reproduce
and appears rarely.
The problem is coming from we don't pass a temporary buffer to
__dev_alloc_name but 'dev->name' which is modified by the function.
A detailed explanation is here:

Subject: rtnetlink: make SR-IOV VF interface symmetric
adds broken error handling to do_setlink() in net/core/rtnetlink.c. The
problem is the following chunk of code:
if (tb[IFLA_VFINFO_LIST]) {
struct nlattr *attr;
int rem;
nla_for_each_nested(attr, tb[IFLA_VFINFO_LIST], rem) {
if (nla_type(attr) != IFLA_VF_INFO)
----> goto errout;
err = do_setvfinfo(dev, attr);
if (err < 0)
goto errout;
modified = 1;
}
}
which can get to errout without setting err, resulting in the following error:
net/core/rtnetlink.c: In function 'do_setlink':
net/core/rtnetlink.c:904: warning: 'err' may be used uninitialized in this function
Change the code to return -EINVAL in this case. Note that this might not be
the appropriate error though.

Fix some issues introduced in batch skb dequeuing for input_pkt_queue.
The primary issue it that the queue head must be incremented only
after a packet has been processed, that is only after
__netif_receive_skb has been called. This is needed for the mechanism
to prevent OOO packet in RFS. Also when flushing the input_pkt_queue
and process_queue, the process queue should be done first to prevent
OOO packets.
Because the input_pkt_queue has been effectively split into two queues,
the calculation of the tail ptr is no longer correct. The correct value
would be head+input_pkt_queue->len+process_queue->len. To avoid
this calculation we added an explict input_queue_tail in softnet_data.
The tail value is simply incremented when queuing to input_pkt_queue.

When GRO produces fraglist entries, and the resulting skb hits
an interface that is incapable of TSO but capable of FRAGLIST,
we end up producing a bogus packet with gso_size non-zero.
This was reported in the field with older versions of KVM that
did not set the TSO bits on tuntap.

This race was triggered by a 'conntrack -F' command running in parallel
to the insertion of a hash for a new connection. Losing this race led to
a dead conntrack entry effectively blocking traffic for a particular
connection until timeout or flushing the conntrack hashes again.
Now the check for an already dying connection is done inside the lock.

Add new netdev ops ndo_{set|get}_vf_port to allow setting of
port-profile on a netdev interface. Extends netlink socket RTM_SETLINK/
RTM_GETLINK with two new sub msgs called IFLA_VF_PORTS and IFLA_PORT_SELF
(added to end of IFLA_cmd list). These are both nested atrtibutes
using this layout:
[IFLA_NUM_VF]
[IFLA_VF_PORTS]
[IFLA_VF_PORT]
[IFLA_PORT_*], ...
[IFLA_VF_PORT]
[IFLA_PORT_*], ...
...
[IFLA_PORT_SELF]
[IFLA_PORT_*], ...
These attributes are design to be set and get symmetrically. VF_PORTS
is a list of VF_PORTs, one for each VF, when dealing with an SR-IOV
device. PORT_SELF is for the PF of the SR-IOV device, in case it wants
to also have a port-profile, or for the case where the VF==PF, like in
enic patch 2/2 of this patch set.
A port-profile is used to configure/enable the external switch virtual port
backing the netdev interface, not to configure the host-facing side of the
netdev. A port-profile is an identifier known to the switch. How port-
profiles are installed on the switch or how available port-profiles are
made know to the host is outside the scope of this patch.
There are two types of port-profiles specs in the netlink msg. The first spec
is for 802.1Qbg (pre-)standard, VDP protocol. The second spec is for devices
that run a similar protocol as VDP but in firmware, thus hiding the protocol
details. In either case, the specs have much in common and makes sense to
define the netlink msg as the union of the two specs. For example, both specs
have a notition of associating/deassociating a port-profile. And both specs
require some information from the hypervisor manager, such as client port
instance ID.
The general flow is the port-profile is applied to a host netdev interface
using RTM_SETLINK, the receiver of the RTM_SETLINK msg communicates with the
switch, and the switch virtual port backing the host netdev interface is
configured/enabled based on the settings defined by the port-profile. What
those settings comprise, and how those settings are managed is again
outside the scope of this patch, since this patch only deals with the
first step in the flow.

Commit 33ad798c92 (tcp: options clean up) introduced a problem
if MD5+SACK+timestamps were used in initial SYN message.
Some stacks (old linux for example) try to negotiate MD5+SACK+TSTAMP
sessions, but since 40 bytes of tcp options space are not enough to
store all the bits needed, we chose to disable timestamps in this case.
We send a SYN-ACK _without_ timestamp option, but socket has timestamps
enabled and all further outgoing messages contain a TS block, all with
the initial timestamp of the remote peer.
Fix is to really disable timestamps option for the whole session.
