Hi all:

This series tries to switch to use skb array in tun. This is used to
eliminate the spinlock contention between producer and consumer. The
conversion was straightforward: just introdce a tx skb array and use
it instead of sk_receive_queue.

A minor issue is to keep the tx_queue_len behaviour, since tun used to
use it for the length of sk_receive_queue. This is done through:

- add the ability to resize multiple rings at once to avoid handling
  partial resize failure for mutiple rings.
- add the support for zero length ring.
- introduce a notifier which was triggered when tx_queue_len was
  changed for a netdev.
- resize all queues during the tx_queue_len changing.

Tests shows about 15% improvement on guest rx pps:

Before: ~1300000pps
After : ~1500000pps

Changes from V2:
- add multiple rings resizing support for ptr_ring/skb_array
- add zero length ring support
- introdce a NETDEV_CHANGE_TX_QUEUE_LEN
- drop new flags

Changes from V1:
- switch to use skb array instead of a customized circular buffer
- add non-blocking support
- rename .peek to .peek_len
- drop lockless peeking since test show very minor improvement

Jason Wang (5):
  ptr_ring: support zero length ring
  skb_array: minor tweak
  skb_array: add wrappers for resizing
  net: introduce NETDEV_CHANGE_TX_QUEUE_LEN
  tun: switch to use skb array for tx
