Enable vlan tag insertion even when vlan group is not configured.
For ixgb HW both CTRL0.VME and VLE bit in the Tx descriptor need to be set

Introduced separate functions for enabling/disabling of vlan tag stripping

driver from a host when a guest is using a virtual function from that

net: optimize INET input path further
Followup of commit
b178bb3dfc30 (net: reorder struct sock fields)
Optimize INET input path a bit further, by :
1) moving sk_refcnt close to sk_lock.
This reduces number of dirtied cache lines by one on 64bit arches (and
64 bytes cache line size).
2) moving inet_daddr & inet_rcv_saddr at the beginning of sk
(same cache line than hash / family / bound_dev_if / nulls_node)
This reduces number of accessed cache lines in lookups by one, and dont
increase size of inet and timewait socks.
inet and tw sockets now share same place-holder for these fields.
Before patch :
offsetof(struct sock, sk_refcnt) = 0x10
offsetof(struct sock, sk_lock) = 0x40
offsetof(struct sock, sk_receive_queue) = 0x60
offsetof(struct inet_sock, inet_daddr) = 0x270
offsetof(struct inet_sock, inet_rcv_saddr) = 0x274
After patch :
offsetof(struct sock, sk_refcnt) = 0x44
offsetof(struct sock, sk_lock) = 0x48
offsetof(struct sock, sk_receive_queue) = 0x68
offsetof(struct inet_sock, inet_daddr) = 0x0
offsetof(struct inet_sock, inet_rcv_saddr) = 0x4

The priority policy uses skb->priority internally to assign an u32 priority
identifier, using the same ranking as SO_PRIORITY. The skb->priority field
is set to 0 when the packet leaves DCCP. The priority is supplied as ancillary

sfc: Use TX push whenever adding descriptors to an empty queue
Whenever we add DMA descriptors to a TX ring and update the ring
pointer, the TX DMA engine must first read the new DMA descriptors and
then start reading packet data. However, all released Solarflare 10G
controllers have a 'TX push' feature that allows us to reduce latency
by writing the first new DMA descriptor along with the pointer update.
This is only useful when the queue is empty. The hardware should
ignore the pushed descriptor if the queue is not empty, but this check
is buggy, so we must do it in software.
In order to tell whether a TX queue is empty, we need to compare the
previous transmission count (write_count) and completion count
(read_count). However, if we do that every time we update the ring
pointer then read_count may ping-pong between the caches of two CPUs
running the transmission and completion paths for the queue.
Therefore, we split the check for an empty queue between the
completion path and the transmission path:
- Add an empty_read_count field representing a point at which the
completion path saw the TX queue as empty.
- Add an old_write_count field for use on the completion path.
- On the completion path, whenever read_count reaches or passes
old_write_count the TX queue may be empty. We then read
write_count, set empty_read_count if read_count == write_count,
and update old_write_count.
- On the transmission path, we read empty_read_count. If it's set, we
compare it with the value of write_count before the current set of
descriptors was added. If they match, the queue really is empty and
we can use TX push.
