While checkpatch another patch I got a:
"WARNING: msleep < 20ms can sleep for up to 20ms"
The datasheet of at86rf231 and at86rf212 says a minimum delay for reset
pulse width and spi access latency after reset is 625 nanoseconds.
This patch removes the 1 milliseconds sleep and replace it with a 1
microseconds udelay which should be also okay for the reset pulse width.
To change the state from RESET -> TRX_OFF the at86rf230 device needs 120
microseconds, this is a worst case of all at86rf* chips.

This patch fix a unexpected state change for the at86rf231 chip.
We can't change into STATE_FORCE_TX_ON while the chip is in one of
SLEEP, P_ON, RESET, TRX_OFF, and all *_NOCLK states.
In this case we are in the TRX_OFF state. See datasheet [1] page 71 for

netpoll: Cleanup received packet processing
This is the long-winded, careful, and polite version of removing the netpoll
receive packet processing.
First I untangle the code in small steps. Then I modify the code to not
force reception and dropping of packets when we are transmiting a packet
with netpoll. Finally I move all of the packet reception under
CONFIG_NETPOLL_TRAP and delete CONFIG_NETPOLL_TRAP.
If someone wants to do a stable backport of these patches, it would
require backporting the first 18 patches that handle the budget == 0 in
the networking drivers, and the first 6 of these patches.
If anyone wants to resurrect netpoll packet reception someday it should
just be a matter of reverting the last patch.
====================

The netpoll packet receive code only becomes active if the netpoll
rx_skb_hook is implemented, and there is not a single implementation
of the netpoll rx_skb_hook in the kernel.
All of the out of tree implementations I have found all call
netpoll_poll which was removed from the kernel in 2011, so this
change should not add any additional breakage.
There are problems with the netpoll packet receive code. __netpoll_rx
does not call dev_kfree_skb_irq or dev_kfree_skb_any in hard irq
context. netpoll_neigh_reply leaks every skb it receives. Reception
of packets does not work successfully on stacked devices (aka bonding,
team, bridge, and vlans).
Given that the netpoll packet receive code is buggy, there are no
out of tree users that will be merged soon, and the code has
not been used for in tree for a decade let's just remove it.
Reverting this commit can server as a starting point for anyone
who wants to resurrect netpoll packet reception support.

All of the netpoll supporting drivers have been reviewed to ensure
either thay use netif_rx or that a budget of 0 is supported by their
napi poll routine and that a budget of 0 will not process the drivers

Not dropping packets makes NETPOLL_RX_DROP unnecesary so it is removed.

With current match design every invocation of the connlimit_match
function means we have to perform (number_of_conntracks % 256) lookups
in the conntrack table [ to perform GC/delete stale entries ].
This is also the reason why ____nf_conntrack_find() in perf top has
> 20% cpu time per core.
This patch changes the storage to rbtree which cuts down the number of
ct objects that need testing.
When looking up a new tuple, we only test the connections of the host
objects we visit while searching for the wanted host/network (or
the leaf we need to insert at).
The slot count is reduced to 32. Increasing slot count doesn't
speed up things much because of rbtree nature.

The current logic suffers from a slow response time to disable user DB
usage, and also fails to avoid DB FIFO drops under heavy load. This commit
fixes these deficiencies and makes the avoidance logic more optimal.
This is done by more efficiently notifying the ULDs of potential DB
problems, and implements a smoother flow control algorithm in iw_cxgb4,
which is the ULD that puts the most load on the DB fifo.
Design:
cxgb4:
Direct ULD callback from the DB FULL/DROP interrupt handler. This allows
the ULD to stop doing user DB writes as quickly as possible.
While user DB usage is disabled, the LLD will accumulate DB write events
for its queues. Then once DB usage is reenabled, a single DB write is
done for each queue with its accumulated write count. This reduces the
load put on the DB fifo when reenabling.
iw_cxgb4:
Instead of marking each qp to indicate DB writes are disabled, we create
a device-global status page that each user process maps. This allows
iw_cxgb4 to only set this single bit to disable all DB writes for all
user QPs vs traversing the idr of all the active QPs. If the libcxgb4
doesn't support this, then we fall back to the old approach of marking
each QP. Thus we allow the new driver to work with an older libcxgb4.
When the LLD upcalls iw_cxgb4 indicating DB FULL, we disable all DB writes
via the status page and transition the DB state to STOPPED. As user
processes see that DB writes are disabled, they call into iw_cxgb4
to submit their DB write events. Since the DB state is in STOPPED,
the QP trying to write gets enqueued on a new DB "flow control" list.
As subsequent DB writes are submitted for this flow controlled QP, the
amount of writes are accumulated for each QP on the flow control list.
So all the user QPs that are actively ringing the DB get put on this
list and the number of writes they request are accumulated.
When the LLD upcalls iw_cxgb4 indicating DB EMPTY, which is in a workq
context, we change the DB state to FLOW_CONTROL, and begin resuming all
the QPs that are on the flow control list. This logic runs on until
the flow control list is empty or we exit FLOW_CONTROL mode (due to
a DB DROP upcall, for example). QPs are removed from this list, and
their accumulated DB write counts written to the DB FIFO. Sets of QPs,
called chunks in the code, are removed at one time. The chunk size is 64.
So 64 QPs are resumed at a time, and before the next chunk is resumed, the
logic waits (blocks) for the DB FIFO to drain. This prevents resuming to
quickly and overflowing the FIFO. Once the flow control list is empty,
the db state transitions back to NORMAL and user QPs are again allowed
to write directly to the user DB register.
The algorithm is designed such that if the DB write load is high enough,
then all the DB writes get submitted by the kernel using this flow
controlled approach to avoid DB drops. As the load lightens though, we
resume to normal DB writes directly by user applications.

the places using the bh safe variant.
Except on 32bit uni-processor the code is exactly the same so don't
bother with a bh variant, just have a hard irq safe variant that
everyone can use.

====================
bonding: use correct ether type for alb
There have been reports that, while using the ETH_P_LOOP ether type
(0x0060), the ether type is treated as its packet length.
To avoid that and to not break already existing apps - add new ether type
ETH_P_LOOPBACK that contains the correct id - 0x9000.

Currently it's using the wrong ETH_P_LOOP type, which is sometimes treated
as packet length instead of ether type (because it's 0x0060).
Use the new ETH_P_LOOPBACK type.

Per IEEE 802.3*, the correct packet type for loopback 0x9000. There's
already one ETH_P_LOOP 0x0060, which has been there for ages, however it's
plainly wrong as anything that small is considered a length field.
We can't remove it because legacy, so add a new type which corresponds to
the correct id.
