Subject: [jkirsher/next-queue PATCH 0/7] Add support for L2 Fwd Offload w/o
 ndo_select_queue

This patch series is meant to allow support for the L2 forward offload, aka
MACVLAN offload without the need for using ndo_select_queue.

The existing solution currently requires that we use ndo_select_queue in
the transmit path if we want to associate specific Tx queues with a given
MACVLAN interface. In order to get away from this we need to repurpose the
tc_to_txq array and XPS pointer for the MACVLAN interface and use those as
a means of accessing the queues on the lower device. As a result we cannot
offload a device that is configured as multiqueue, however it doesn't
really make sense to configure a macvlan interfaced as being multiqueue
anyway since it doesn't really have a qdisc of its own in the first place.

I am submitting this as an RFC for the netdev mailing list, and officially
submitting it for testing to Jeff Kirsher's next-queue in order to validate
the ixgbe specific bits.

The big changes in this set are:
  Allow lower device to update tc_to_txq and XPS map of offloaded MACVLAN
  Disable XPS for single queue devices
  Replace accel_priv with sb_dev in ndo_select_queue
  Add sb_dev parameter to fallback function for ndo_select_queue
  Consolidated ndo_select_queue functions that appeared to be duplicates

      net: Add support for subordinate traffic classes to netdev_pick_tx
      net: Add generic ndo_select_queue functions
      net: allow ndo_select_queue to pass netdev
      net: allow fallback function to pass netdev
