net/core: generic support for disabling netdev features down stack
There are some netdev features, which when disabled on an upper device, such as a bonding master or a bridge, must be disabled and cannot be re-enabled on underlying devices. This is a rework of an earlier more heavy-handed appraoch, which simply disables and prevents re-enabling of netdev features listed in a new define in include/net/netdev_features.h, NETIF_F_UPPER_DISABLES. Any upper device that disables a flag in that feature mask, the disabling will propagate down the stack, and any lower device that has any upper device with one of those flags disabled should not be able to enable said flag. Initially, only LRO is included for proof of concept, and because this code effectively does the same thing as dev_disable_lro(), though it will also activate from the ethtool path, which was one of the goals here. [root@dell-per730-01 ~]# ethtool -k bond0 |grep large large-receive-offload: on [root@dell-per730-01 ~]# ethtool -k p5p1 |grep large large-receive-offload: on [root@dell-per730-01 ~]# ethtool -K bond0 lro off [root@dell-per730-01 ~]# ethtool -k bond0 |grep large large-receive-offload: off [root@dell-per730-01 ~]# ethtool -k p5p1 |grep large large-receive-offload: off dmesg dump: [ 1033.277986] bond0: Disabling feature 0x0000000000008000 on lower dev p5p2.

[ 1035.591019] bnx2x 0000:06:00.0 p5p1: using MSI-X IRQs: sp 62 fp[0] 64 ... fp[7] 71 This has been successfully tested with bnx2x, qlcnic and netxen network cards as slaves in a bond interface. Turning LRO on or off on the master also turns it on or off on each of the slaves, new slaves are added with LRO in the same state as the master, and LRO can't be toggled on the slaves. Also, this should largely remove the need for dev_disable_lro(), and most, if not all, of its call sites can be replaced by simply making sure NETIF_F_LRO isn't included in the relevant device's feature flags. Note that this patch is driven by bug reports from users saying it was confusing that bonds and slaves had different settings for the same features, and while it won't be 100% in sync if a lower device doesn't support a feature like LRO, I think this is a good step in the right direction.
