Userland layer-2 tunneling devices allocated through the TUNTAP driver
(drivers/net/tun.c) have a type of ARPHRD_NONE, and have no link-layer
address. The kernel complains at regular interval when IPv6 Privacy
extension are enabled because it can't find an hardware address :
Dec 29 11:02:04 auguste kernel: __ipv6_regen_rndid(idev=cb3e0c00):
cannot get EUI64 identifier; use random bytes.
IPv6 Privacy extensions should probably be disabled on that sort of
device. They won't work anyway. If userland wants a more usual
Ethernet-ish interface with usual IPv6 autoconfiguration, it will use a
TAP device with an emulated link-layer and a random hardware address
rather than a TUN device.
As far as I could fine, TUN virtual device from TUNTAP is the very only
sort of device using ARPHRD_NONE as kernel device type.

We saw following trace several times:
|BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000001] code: httpd/30137
|caller is icmpv6_send+0x23/0x540
| [<c01ad63b>] smp_processor_id+0x9b/0xb8
| [<c02993e7>] icmpv6_send+0x23/0x540
This is because of icmpv6_socket, which is the only one user of
smp_processor_id() in icmpv6_send(), AFAIK.
Since it should be used in non-preemptive context,
let's defer the dereference after disabling preemption
(by icmpv6_xmit_lock()).

When we have ip_queue being used from LOCAL_IN, then we end up with a
situation where the verdicts coming back from userspace traverse the TCP
input path from syscall context. While this seems to work most of the
time, there's an ugly deadlock:
syscall context is interrupted by the timer interrupt. When the timer
interrupt leaves, the timer softirq get's scheduled and calls
tcp_delack_timer() and alike. They themselves do bh_lock_sock(sk),
which is already held from somewhere else -> boom.
I've now tested the suggested solution by Patrick McHardy and Herbert Xu to
simply use local_bh_{en,dis}able().

This improves the bridge local receive path by avoiding going

required.

Netem works better if there if packets are just queued in the inner discipline
rather than having a separate delayed queue. Change to use the dequeue/requeue
to peek like TBF does.
By doing this potential qlen problems with the old method are avoided. The problems
happened when the netem_run that moved packets from the inner discipline to the nested
discipline failed (because inner queue was full). This happened in dequeue, so the
effective qlen of the netem would be decreased (because of the drop), but there was
no way to keep the outer qdisc (caller of netem dequeue) in sync.
The problem window is still there since this patch doesn't address the issue of
requeue failing in netem_dequeue, but that shouldn't happen since the sequence dequeue/requeue
should always work. Long term correct fix is to implement qdisc->peek in all the qdisc's
to allow for this (needed by several other qdisc's as well).

When we are doing ucopy, we try to defer the ACK generation to
cleanup_rbuf(). This works most of the time very well, but if the
ucopy prequeue is large, this ACKing behavior kills performance.
With TSO, it is possible to fill the prequeue so large that by the
time the ACK is sent and gets back to the sender, most of the window
has emptied of data and performance suffers significantly.
This behavior does help in some cases, so we should think about
re-enabling this trick in the future, using some kind of limit in
order to avoid the bug case.

In netlink_broadcast() we're sending shared skb's to netlink listeners
when possible (saves some copying). This is OK, since we hold the only
other reference to the skb.
However, this implies that we must drop our reference on the skb, before
allowing a receiving socket to disappear. Otherwise, the socket buffer
accounting is disrupted.
