This effectively "flips the switch" by making the core networking
and multiqueue-aware drivers use the new TX multiqueue structures.
Non-multiqueue drivers need no changes. The interfaces they use such
as netif_stop_queue() degenerate into an operation on TX queue zero.
So everything "just works" for them.
Code that really wants to do "X" to all TX queues now invokes a
routine that does so, such as netif_tx_wake_all_queues(),
netif_tx_stop_all_queues(), etc.
pktgen and netpoll required a little bit more surgery than the others.
In particular the pktgen changes, whilst functional, could be largely
improved. The initial check in pktgen_xmit() will sometimes check the
wrong queue, which is mostly harmless. The thing to do is probably to
invoke fill_packet() earlier.
The bulk of the netpoll changes is to make the code operate solely on
the TX queue indicated by by the SKB queue mapping.
Setting of the SKB queue mapping is entirely confined inside of
net/core/dev.c:dev_pick_tx(). If we end up needing any kind of
special semantics (drops, for example) it will be implemented here.
Finally, we now have a "real_num_tx_queues" which is where the driver
indicates how many TX queues are actually active.

This actually fixes a bug added by the RR scheduler changes. The
->bands and ->prio2band parameters were being set outside of the
sch_tree_lock() and thus could result in strange behavior and
inconsistencies.
It might be possible, in the new design (where there will be one qdisc
per device TX queue) to allow similar functionality via a TX hash
algorithm for RR but I really see no reason to export this aspect of
how these multiqueue cards actually implement the scheduling of the
the individual DMA TX rings and the single physical MAC/PHY port.

There is no need for a feature bit for something that
can be tested by simply checking the TX queue count.
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
alloc_netdev_mq() now allocates an array of netdev_queue
structures for TX, based upon the queue_count argument.
Furthermore, all accesses to the TX queues are now vectored
through the netdev_get_tx_queue() and netdev_for_each_tx_queue()
interfaces. This makes it easy to grep the tree for all
things that want to get to a TX queue of a net device.
Problem spots which are not really multiqueue aware yet, and
only work with one queue, can easily be spotted by grepping
for all netdev_get_tx_queue() calls that pass in a zero index.

The configfs operations ->make_item() and ->make_group() currently
return a new item/group. A return of NULL signifies an error. Because
of this, -ENOMEM is the only return code bubbled up the stack.
Multiple folks have requested the ability to return specific error codes
when these operations fail. This patch adds that ability by changing the
->make_item/group() ops to return ERR_PTR() values. These errors are
bubbled up appropriately. NULL returns are changed to -ENOMEM for
compatibility.
Also updated are the in-kernel users of configfs.
This is a rework of reverted commit 11c3b79218.

make function tracing more robust: do not trace library functions.
We've already got a sizable list of exceptions:
ifdef CONFIG_FTRACE
# Do not profile string.o, since it may be used in early boot or vdso
CFLAGS_REMOVE_string.o = -pg
# Also do not profile any debug utilities
CFLAGS_REMOVE_spinlock_debug.o = -pg
CFLAGS_REMOVE_list_debug.o = -pg
CFLAGS_REMOVE_debugobjects.o = -pg
CFLAGS_REMOVE_find_next_bit.o = -pg
CFLAGS_REMOVE_cpumask.o = -pg
CFLAGS_REMOVE_bitmap.o = -pg
endif
... and the pattern has been that random library functionality showed
up in ftrace's critical path (outside of its recursion check), causing
hard to debug lockups.
So be a bit defensive about it and exclude all lib/*.o functions by
default. It's not that they are overly interesting for tracing purposes
anyway. Specific ones can still be traced, in an opt-in manner.
