As it currently stands, skb destructors are forbidden on the receive path because the protocol end-points will overwrite any existing destructor with their own. This is the reason why we have to call skb_orphan in the loopback driver before we reinject the packet back into the stack, thus creating a period during which loopback traffic isn't charged to any socket. With virtualisation, we have a similar problem in that traffic is reinjected into the stack without being associated with any socket entity, thus providing no natural congestion push-back for those poor folks still stuck with UDP. Now had we been consistent in telling them that UDP simply has no congestion feedback, I could just fob them off. Unfortunately, we appear to have gone to some length in catering for this on the standard UDP path, with skb/socket accounting so that has created a very unhealthy dependency. Alas habits are difficult to break out of, so we may just have to allow skb destructors on the receive path. It turns out that making skb destructors useable on the receive path isn't as easy as it seems. For instance, simply adding skb_orphan to skb_set_owner_r isn't enough. This is because we assume all over the IP stack that skb->sk is an IP socket if present. The new transparent proxy code goes one step further and assumes that skb->sk is the receiving socket if present. Now all of this can be dealt with by adding simple checks such as only treating skb->sk as an IP socket if skb->sk->sk_family matches. However, it turns out that for bridging at least we don't need to do all of this work. This is of interest because most virtualisation setups use bridging so we don't actually go through the IP stack on the host (with the exception of our old nemesis the bridge netfilter, but that's easily taken care of). So this patch simply adds skb_orphan to the point just before we enter the IP stack, but after we've gone through the bridge on the receive path. It also adds an skb_orphan to the one place in netfilter that touches skb->sk/skb->destructor, that is, tproxy. One word of caution, because of the internal code structure, anyone wishing to deploy this must use skb_set_owner_w as opposed to skb_set_owner_r since many functions that create a new skb from an existing one will invoke skb_set_owner_w on the new skb.

Stashing is only supported on the 85xx (e500-based) SoCs. The 83xx and 86xx chips don't have a proper cache for this. U-Boot has been updated to add stashing properties to the device tree nodes of gianfar devices on 85xx. So now we modify Linux to keep stashing off unless those properties are there.

VLAN filtering allows the hypervisor to drop packets from VLANs that we're not a part of, further reducing the number of extraneous packets recieved. This makes use of the VLAN virtqueue command class. The CTRL_VLAN feature bit tells us whether the backend supports VLAN filtering.

Make use of the MAC control virtqueue class to support a MAC filter table. The filter table is managed by the hypervisor. We consider the table to be available if the CTRL_RX feature bit is set. We leave it to the hypervisor to manage the table and enable promiscuous or all-multi mode as necessary depending on the resources available to it.

Make use of the RX_MODE control virtqueue class to enable the set_rx_mode netdev interface. This allows us to selectively enable/disable promiscuous and allmulti mode so we don't see packets we don't want. For now, we automatically enable these as needed if additional unicast or multicast addresses are requested.

This will be used for RX mode, MAC filter table, VLAN filtering, etc... The control transaction consists of one or more "out" sg entries and one or more "in" sg entries. The first out entry contains a header defining the class and command. Additional out entries may provide data for the command. The last in entry provides a status response back from the command. Virtqueues typically run asynchronous, running a callback function when there's data in the channel. We can't readily make use of this in the command paths where we need to use this. Instead, we kick the virtqueue and spin. The kick causes an I/O write, triggering an immediate trap into the hypervisor.

The removed version with the loop registers saved on the stack was originally intended to workaround the missing toolchain support for LoopReg Clobbers. Since our toolchain now supports these there is no point in keeping this workaround. And since we don't touch LoopRegs anymore we're no longer subject for ANOMALY_05000312.
