      Conflicts:
	drivers/net/ethernet/cadence/macb.c
	drivers/net/phy/phy.c
	include/linux/skbuff.h
	net/ipv4/tcp.c
	net/switchdev/switchdev.c

Switchdev was a case of RTNH_H_{EXTERNAL --> OFFLOAD}
renaming overlapping with net-next changes of various
sorts.

phy.c was a case of two changes, one adding a local
variable to a function whilst the second was removing
one.

tcp.c overlapped a deadlock fix with the addition of new tcp_info
statistic values.

macb.c involved the addition of two zyncq device entries.

skbuff.h involved adding back ipv4_daddr to nf_bridge_info
whilst net-next changes put two other existing members of
that struct into a union.

====================
pktgen: cleanups and introducing new samples/pktgen scripts

v3:
 - Aborted v2 send due it was not generating diff stat
   (this is a bug in stg-mail, if not in the root directory)

v2: address nitpicks from Cong Wang
 - Remove useless cat's, but keep them for old pgset()
 - Comment on: Due to pgctrl, cannot use exit code $? from grep
 - Use arithmetic compare in pktgen_sample03_burst_single_flow.sh

This patchset is focused on making pktgen easier to use and better
documented. It contains a number of documentation updates and minor
changes to pktgen.  The major contribution is introduction of common
helper function for sample scripts.

Instead of the old pgset() function, three new shell functions for
configuring the different components of pktgen are introduced:
 pg_ctrl(), pg_thread() and pg_set().

The new functions correspond to pktgens different components.
 * pg_ctrl()   control "pgctrl" (/proc/net/pktgen/pgctrl)
 * pg_thread() control the kernel threads and binding to devices
 * pg_set()    control setup of individual devices

Helpers also provide consistent parameter parsing across the sample
scripts.

Usage example:
 ./pktgen_sample01_simple.sh -i eth41 -m 00:12:C0:02:AC:5A -d 192.168.41.2

Usage: ./pktgen_sample01_simple.sh [-vx] -i ethX
  -i : ($DEV)       output interface/device (required)
  -s : ($PKT_SIZE)  packet size
  -d : ($DEST_IP)   destination IP
  -m : ($DST_MAC)   destination MAC-addr
  -t : ($THREADS)   threads to start
  -c : ($SKB_CLONE) SKB clones send before alloc new SKB
  -b : ($BURST)     HW level bursting of SKBs
  -v : ($VERBOSE)   verbose
  -x : ($DEBUG)     debug

These scripts are borrowed from:

      pktgen: add benchmark script pktgen_bench_xmit_mode_netif_receive.sh · 05a14d5e
      Jesper Dangaard Brouer authored 
      This script pktgen_bench_xmit_mode_netif_receive.sh is a benchmark
script, which can be used for benchmarking part of the network stack.
This can be used for performance improving or catching regression in
that area.

The script is developed for benchmarking ingress qdisc path, original
idea by Alexei Starovoitov.  This script don't really need any
hardware.  This is achieved via the recently introduced stack inject
feature "xmit_mode netif_receive". See commit 62f64aed ("pktgen:
introduce xmit_mode '<start_xmit|netif_receive>'").

      pktgen: add sample script pktgen_sample03_burst_single_flow.sh · 1d73ba16
      Jesper Dangaard Brouer authored 
      Add the pktgen samples script pktgen_sample03_burst_single_flow.sh
that demonstrates how to acheive maximum performance.

If correctly tuned[1] single CPU 10Gbit/s wirespeed small pkts is
possible[2] which is 14.88Mpps.  The trick is to take advantage of the
"burst" feature introduced in commit 38b2cf29 ("net: pktgen:
packet bursting via skb->xmit_more").

      pktgen: add sample script pktgen_sample02_multiqueue.sh · 282fb589
      Jesper Dangaard Brouer authored 
      Add the pktgen samples script pktgen_sample02_multiqueue.sh that
demonstrates generating packets on multiqueue NICs.

Specifically notice the options "-t" that specifies how many
kernel threads to activate.  Also notice the flag QUEUE_MAP_CPU,
which cause the SKB TX queue to be mapped to the CPU running the
kernel thread.  For best scalability people are also encourage to
map NIC IRQ /proc/irq/*/smp_affinity to CPU number.

Usage example with "-t" 4 threads and help:
 ./pktgen_sample02_multiqueue.sh -i eth4 -m 00:1B:21:3C:9D:F8 -t 4

Usage: ./pktgen_sample02_multiqueue.sh [-vx] -i ethX
  -i : ($DEV)       output interface/device (required)
  -s : ($PKT_SIZE)  packet size
  -d : ($DEST_IP)   destination IP
  -m : ($DST_MAC)   destination MAC-addr
  -t : ($THREADS)   threads to start
  -c : ($SKB_CLONE) SKB clones send before alloc new SKB
  -b : ($BURST)     HW level bursting of SKBs
  -v : ($VERBOSE)   verbose
  -x : ($DEBUG)     debug

Removing pktgen.conf-2-1 and pktgen.conf-2-2 as these examples
should be covered now.
