One of the recurring complaints from both maintainers and CI system
operators is that performing git-am on received patches is difficult
without knowing the parent object in the git history on which the
patches are based. Without this information, there is a high likelihood
that git-am will fail due to conflicts, which is particularly
frustrating to CI operators.

Git versions starting with v2.9.0 are able to automatically include
base-commit information using the --base flag of git-format-patch.
Document this usage in process/submitting-patches, and add the rationale
for its inclusion, plus instructions for those not using git on where

Currently, when kernel-doc encounters a macro with a named variable
argument[1], such as this:

   #define hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(pos, head, member, cond...)

... it expects the variable argument to be documented as `cond...`,
rather than `cond`. This is semantically wrong, because the name (as
used in the macro body) is actually `cond`.

With this patch, kernel-doc will accept the name without dots (`cond`
in the example above) in doc comments, and warn if the name with dots
(`cond...`) is used and verbose mode[2] is enabled.

The support for the `cond...` syntax can be removed later, when the
documentation of all such macros has been switched to the new syntax.

Testing this patch on top of v5.4-rc6, `make htmldocs` shows a few
changes in log output and HTML output:

 1) The following warnings[3] are eliminated:

   ./include/linux/rculist.h:374: warning:
        Excess function parameter 'cond' description in 'list_for_each_entry_rcu'
   ./include/linux/rculist.h:651: warning:
        Excess function parameter 'cond' description in 'hlist_for_each_entry_rcu'

 2) For list_for_each_entry_rcu and hlist_for_each_entry_rcu, the
    correct description is shown

 3) Named variable arguments are shown without dots

Intel test robot reported a ~7% regression on TCP_CRR tests
that they bisected to the cited commit.

Indeed, every time a new TCP socket is created or deleted,
the atomic counter net->count is touched (via get_net(net)
and put_net(net) calls)

So cpus might have to reload a contended cache line in
net_hash_mix(net) calls.

We need to reorder 'struct net' fields to move @hash_mix
in a read mostly cache line.

We move in the first cache line fields that can be
dirtied often.

We probably will have to address in a followup patch
the __randomize_layout that was added in linux-4.13,
since this might break our placement choices.

This set is fixing two more issues with the netem packet corruption.

First patch (which was previously posted) avoids NULL pointer dereference
if the first frame gets freed due to allocation or checksum failure.
v2 improves the clarity of the code a little as requested by Cong.

Second patch ensures we don't return SUCCESS if the frame was in fact
dropped. Thanks to this commit message for patch 1 no longer needs the
"this will still break with a single-frame failure" disclaimer.
