Subject: [net-next PATCH v2 0/8] Add busy poll support for epoll

This is my second pass at trying to add support for busy polling when using
epoll. It is pretty much a full rewrite as I have made serious changes to
most of the patches.

In the v1 series I had submitted we only allowed epoll to make use of busy
poll when all NAPI IDs were the same. I gave this some more thought and
after making several other changes based on feedback from Eric Dumazet I
decided to try changing the main concept a bit and instead we will now
attempt to busy poll on the NAPI ID of the last socket added to the ready
list. By doing it this way we are able to take advantage of the changes
Eric has already made so that we get woken up by the softirq, we then pull
packets via busy poll, and will return to the softirq until we are woken up
and a new socket has been added to the ready list.

Most of the changes in this set authored by me are meant to be cleanup or
fixes for various things. For example, I am trying to make it so that we
don't perform hash look-ups for the NAPI instance when we are only working
with sender_cpu and the like.

The most complicated change of the set is probably the clean-ups for the
timeout. I realized that the timeout could potentially get into a state
where it would never timeout if the local_clock() was approaching a
rollover and the added busy poll usecs interval would be enough to roll it
over.  Because we were shifting the value you would never be able to get
time_after to actually trigger.

At the heart of this set is the last 3 patches which enable epoll support
and add support for obtaining the NAPI ID of a given socket.  With these
It becomes possible for an application to make use of epoll and get optimal
busy poll utilization by stacking multiple sockets with the same NAPI ID on
the same epoll context.
