Currently there are two paths for filling rx buffer queues. One is
used during initialization and the other during runtime. This patch
removes ql_alloc_sbq_buffers() and ql_alloc_lbq_buffers() and replaces
them with a call to the runtime functions ql_update_lbq() and
ql_update_sbq().

RX Buffers are refilled in chunks of 16 at a time before notifying the
hardware with a register write. This can cause several writes to take
place in a given napi poll call. This change causes the write to take place
only once at the end of the call.

Instead of taking/giving the hw semaphore repeatedly when iterating over

This patch changes the return value of nlmsg_notify() as follows:
If NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR is set by any of the listeners and
an error in the delivery happened, return the broadcast error;
else if there are no listeners apart from the socket that
requested a change with the echo flag, return the result of the
unicast notification. Thus, with this patch, the unicast
notification is handled in the same way of a broadcast listener
that has set the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket flag.
This patch is useful in case that the caller of nlmsg_notify()
wants to know the result of the delivery of a netlink notification
(including the broadcast delivery) and take any action in case
that the delivery failed. For example, ctnetlink can drop packets
if the event delivery failed to provide reliable logging and
state-synchronization at the cost of dropping packets.
This patch also modifies the rtnetlink code to ignore the return
value of rtnl_notify() in all callers. The function rtnl_notify()
(before this patch) returned the error of the unicast notification
which makes rtnl_set_sk_err() reports errors to all listeners. This
is not of any help since the origin of the change (the socket that
requested the echoing) notices the ENOBUFS error if the notification
fails and should resync itself.

it was pointed out on the list that ixgbe was failing when using 64kB pages
and large 16kB MTU.
since with a 64kB PAGE_SIZE MAX_SKB_FRAGS = 3, the way the driver was
configuring page usage was assuming 2kB is half a page, and was only
ever dmaing that much data to a half page.
(16kB - header size) / 2048 = 7 or 8 pages, which would far exceed 3
adjust the driver to account for these large pages, the hardware can
support DMA to up to 16kB for each descriptor.

It turns out that net_alive is unnecessary, and the original problem
that led to it being added was simply that the icmp code thought
it was a network device and wound up being unable to handle packets
while there were still packets in the network namespace.
Now that icmp and tcp have been fixed to properly register themselves
this problem is no longer present and we have a stronger guarantee
that packets will not arrive in a network namespace then that provided
by net_alive in netif_receive_skb. So remove net_alive allowing
packet reception run a little faster.
Additionally document the strong reason why network namespace cleanup
is safe so that if something happens again someone else will have
a chance of figuring it out.

Recently I had a kernel panic in icmp_send during a network namespace
cleanup. There were packets in the arp queue that failed to be sent
and we attempted to generate an ICMP host unreachable message, but
failed because icmp_sk_exit had already been called.
The network devices are removed from a network namespace and their
arp queues are flushed before we do attempt to shutdown subsystems
so this error should have been impossible.
It turns out icmp_init is using register_pernet_device instead
of register_pernet_subsys. Which resulted in icmp being shut down
while we still had the possibility of packets in flight, making
a nasty NULL pointer deference in interrupt context possible.
Changing this to register_pernet_subsys fixes the problem in
my testing.
