__netpoll_rcu_free is used to free netpoll structures when the rtnl_lock is
already held. The mechanism is used to asynchronously call __netpoll_cleanup
outside of the holding of the rtnl_lock, so as to avoid deadlock.
Unfortunately, __netpoll_cleanup modifies pointers (dev->np), which means the
rtnl_lock must be held while calling it. Further, it cannot be held, because
rcu callbacks may be issued in softirq contexts, which cannot sleep.
Fix this by converting the rcu callback to a work queue that is guaranteed to
get scheduled in process context, so that we can hold the rtnl properly while
calling __netpoll_cleanup

Some multicast addresses are common to all macvlans,
so if a multicast message has a hash value collision, we
have to deliver a copy to all macvlans, adding significant
latency and possible packet drops if netdev_max_backlog
limit is hit.
Having a per macvlan hash function permits to reduce the
impact of hash collisions.

The Xen netback implementation contains a couple of flaws which can
allow a guest to cause a DoS in the backend domain, potentially
affecting other domains in the system.
CVE-2013-0216 is a failure to sanity check the ring producer/consumer
pointers which can allow a guest to cause netback to loop for an
extended period preventing other work from occurring.
CVE-2013-0217 is a memory leak on an error path which is guest

A buggy or malicious frontend should not be able to confuse netback.
If we spot anything which is not as it should be then shutdown the
device and don't try to continue with the ring in a potentially
hostile state. Well behaved and non-hostile frontends will not be
penalised.
As well as making the existing checks for such errors fatal also add a
new check that ensures that there isn't an insane number of requests
on the ring (i.e. more than would fit in the ring). If the ring
contains garbage then previously is was possible to loop over this
insane number, getting an error each time and therefore not generating
any more pending requests and therefore not exiting the loop in
xen_netbk_tx_build_gops for an externded period.
Also turn various netdev_dbg calls which no precipitate a fatal error
into netdev_err, they are rate limited because the device is shutdown
afterwards.
This fixes at least one known DoS/softlockup of the backend domain.

====================
This series from Yan Burman adds support for unicast MAC address filtering and
ndo FDB operations. It also includes some optimizations to loopback related
decisions and checks in the TX/RX fast path and one cleanup, all in separate
patches.
Today, when adding macvlan devices, the NIC goes into promiscuous mode, since
unicast MAC filtering is not supported. With these changes, macvlan devices can
be added without the penalty of promiscuous mode.
If for some reason adding a unicast address filter fails e.g as of missing space in
the HW mac table, the device forces itself into promiscuous mode (and out of this
forced state when enough space is available).
Also, now it is possible to have bridge under multi-function configuration that include
PF and VFs. In order to use bridge over PF/VFs, VM MAC fdb entries must be added e.g.
using 'bridge fdb add' command.
Changes from v1 - based on more comments from Eric Dumazet:
* added failure handling when adding unicast address filter
Changes from v0 - based on comments from Eric Dumazet:
* Removed unneeded synchronize_rcu()
* Use kfree_rcu() instead of synchronize_rcu() + kfree()

Currently, RX path code that does RX filtering is not optimized
and does an expensive conversion. In order to use ether_addr_equal_64bits
which is optimized for such cases, we need the MAC address kept by the device
to be in the form of unsigned char array instead of u64. Store the MAC address
as unsigned char array and convert to/from u64 out of the fast path when needed.
Side effect of this is that we no longer need priv->mac, since it's the same
as dev->dev_addr.

Some modes don't require any special carrier handling so
in these cases, the kernel can control the carrier as for
any other interface. However, some other modes, e.g. lacp,
requires more than just that, so userspace needs to control
the carrier itself.
The daemon today is ready to control it, but the kernel
still can change it based on events.
This fix so that either kernel or userspace is controlling
the carrier.
