Subject: [PATCH v2 net-next 00/14] net: extend busy polling support

This patch series extends busy polling range to tunnels devices,
and adds busy polling generic support to all NAPI drivers.

No need to provide ndo_busy_poll() method and extra synchronization
between ndo_busy_poll() and normal napi->poll() method.
This was proven very difficult and bug prone.

mlx5 driver is changed to support busy polling using this new method,
and a second mlx5 patch adds napi_complete_done() support and proper
SNMP accounting.

bnx2x and mlx4 drivers are converted to new infrastructure,
reducing kernel bloat and improving performance.

Latest patch, adding generic support, adds a new requirement :

 -free_netdev() and netif_napi_del() must be called from process context.

Since this might not be the case in some drivers, we might have to
either : fix the non conformant drivers (by disabling busy polling on them)
or revert this last patch.

Eric Dumazet (14):
  net: better skb->sender_cpu and skb->napi_id cohabitation
  mlx4: mlx4_en_low_latency_recv() called with BH disabled
  net: un-inline sk_busy_loop()
  net: allow BH servicing in sk_busy_loop()
  net: network drivers no longer need to implement ndo_busy_poll()
  mlx5: add busy polling support
  mlx5: support napi_complete_done()
  bnx2x: remove bnx2x_low_latency_recv() support
  mlx4: remove mlx4_en_low_latency_recv()
  net: move skb_mark_napi_id() into core networking stack
  net: add netif_tx_napi_add()
  net: move napi_hash[] into read mostly section
  net: napi_hash_del() returns a boolean status
  net: provide generic busy polling to all NAPI drivers
