Jiri Pirko 0dfe178239 net: vlan: goto another_round instead of calling __netif_receive_skb
Now, when vlan tag on untagged in non-accelerated path is stripped from
skb, headers are reset right away. Benefit from that and avoid calling
__netif_receive_skb recursivelly and just use another_round.

Jiri Pirko c5114cd59d vlan: reset headers on accel emulation path
It's after all necessary to do reset headers here. The reason is we
cannot depend that it gets reseted in __netif_receive_skb once skb is
reinjected. For incoming vlanids without vlan_dev, vlan_do_receive()
returns false with skb != NULL and __netif_reveive_skb continues, skb is
not reinjected.

This might be good material for 3.0-stable as well

sit tunnels (IPv6 tunnel over IPv4) do not implement the "tos inherit"

Ursula Braun 3881ac441f af_iucv: add HiperSockets transport
The current transport mechanism for af_iucv is the z/VM offered
communications facility IUCV. To provide equivalent support when
running Linux in an LPAR, HiperSockets transport is added to the
AF_IUCV address family. It requires explicit binding of an AF_IUCV
socket to a HiperSockets device. A new packet_type ETH_P_AF_IUCV
is announced. An af_iucv specific transport header is defined
preceding the skb data. A small protocol is implemented for
connecting and for flow control/congestion management.

Julian Anastasov 97a8041020 ipv4: some rt_iif -> rt_route_iif conversions
As rt_iif represents input device even for packets
coming from loopback with output route, it is not an unique
key specific to input routes. Now rt_route_iif has such role,
it was fl.iif in 2.6.38, so better to change the checks at
some places to save CPU cycles and to restore 2.6.38 semantics.

compare_keys:
	- input routes: only rt_route_iif matters, rt_iif is same
	- output routes: only rt_oif matters, rt_iif is not
		used for matching in __ip_route_output_key
	- now we are back to 2.6.38 state

ip_route_input_common:
	- matching rt_route_iif implies input route
	- compared to 2.6.38 we eliminated one rth->fl.oif check
	because it was not needed even for 2.6.38

compare_hash_inputs:
	Only the change here is not an optimization, it has
	effect only for output routes. I assume I'm restoring
	the original intention to ignore oif, it was using fl.iif
	- now we are back to 2.6.38 state

(sch_sfq: fix peek() implementation) changed sfq to use generic

This makes HFSC complain about a non-work-conserving child qdisc, if
prio with sfq child is used within hfsc:

hfsc peeks into prio qdisc, which will then peek into sfq.
returned skb is stashed in sch->gso_skb.

Next, hfsc tries to dequeue from prio, but prio will call sfq dequeue
directly, which may return NULL instead of previously peeked-at skb.

Have prio call qdisc_dequeue_peeked, so sfq->dequeue() is
not called in this case.

Currently, it is a problem for rerouting after the previous

	Fix it by simplifying the checks in ip_route_me_harder
and use FLOWI_FLAG_ANYSRC even for sockets. It looks safe
because the initial routing allowed this source address to
be used and now we just have to make sure the packet is rerouted.

raw sockets that use spoofed source addresses which was not possible

David S. Miller 6e5714eaf7 net: Compute protocol sequence numbers and fragment IDs using MD5.
Computers have become a lot faster since we compromised on the
partial MD4 hash which we use currently for performance reasons.

MD5 is a much safer choice, and is inline with both RFC1948 and
other ISS generators (OpenBSD, Solaris, etc.)

Furthermore, only having 24-bits of the sequence number be truly
unpredictable is a very serious limitation.  So the periodic
regeneration and 8-bit counter have been removed.  We compute and
use a full 32-bit sequence number.

For ipv6, DCCP was found to use a 32-bit truncated initial sequence
number (it needs 43-bits) and that is fixed here as well.

Tetsuo Handa c71d8ebe7a net: Fix security_socket_sendmsg() bypass problem.
The sendmmsg() introduced by commit 228e548e "net: Add sendmmsg socket system
call" is capable of sending to multiple different destination addresses.

SMACK is using destination's address for checking sendmsg() permission.
However, security_socket_sendmsg() is called for only once even if multiple
different destination addresses are passed to sendmmsg().

Therefore, we need to call security_socket_sendmsg() for each destination
address rather than only the first destination address.

Since calling security_socket_sendmsg() every time when only single destination
address was passed to sendmmsg() is a waste of time, omit calling
security_socket_sendmsg() unless destination address of previous datagram and
that of current datagram differs.

Anton Blanchard 728ffb86f1 net: sendmmsg should only return an error if no messages were sent
sendmmsg uses a similar error return strategy as recvmmsg but it
turns out to be a confusing way to communicate errors.

The current code stores the error code away and returns it on the next
sendmmsg call. This means a call with completely valid arguments could
get an error from a previous call.

Change things so we only return an error if no datagrams could be sent.
If less than the requested number of messages were sent, the application
must retry starting at the first failed one and if the problem is
persistent the error will be returned.

This matches the behaviour of other syscalls like read/write - it
is not an error if less than the requested number of elements are sent.

Eric Dumazet f2c31e32b3 net: fix NULL dereferences in check_peer_redir()
Gergely Kalman reported crashes in check_peer_redir().

It appears commit f39925dbde (ipv4: Cache learned redirect
information in inetpeer.) added a race, leading to possible NULL ptr
dereference.

Since we can now change dst neighbour, we should make sure a reader can
safely use a neighbour.

Add RCU protection to dst neighbour, and make sure check_peer_redir()
can be called safely by different cpus in parallel.

As neighbours are already freed after one RCU grace period, this patch
should not add typical RCU penalty (cache cold effects)

Many thanks to Gergely for providing a pretty report pointing to the
bug.

Stephen Hemminger a9b3cd7f32 rcu: convert uses of rcu_assign_pointer(x, NULL) to RCU_INIT_POINTER
When assigning a NULL value to an RCU protected pointer, no barrier
is needed. The rcu_assign_pointer, used to handle that but will soon
change to not handle the special case.

Convert all rcu_assign_pointer of NULL value.

//smpl
@@ expression P; @@

- rcu_assign_pointer(P, NULL)
+ RCU_INIT_POINTER(P, NULL)

// </smpl>

Lorenzo Colitti 76f793e3a4 ipv6: updates to privacy addresses per RFC 4941.
Update the code to handle some of the differences between
RFC 3041 and RFC 4941, which obsoletes it. Also a couple
of janitorial fixes.

- Allow router advertisements to increase the lifetime of
  temporary addresses. This was not allowed by RFC 3041,
  but is specified by RFC 4941. It is useful when RA
  lifetimes are lower than TEMP_{VALID,PREFERRED}_LIFETIME:
  in this case, the previous code would delete or deprecate
  addresses prematurely.

- Change the default of MAX_RETRY to 3 per RFC 4941.

- Add a comment to clarify that the preferred and valid
  lifetimes in inet6_ifaddr are relative to the timestamp.

- Shorten lines to 80 characters in a couple of places.

Since skb_copy_bits() is called from assembly, add a fat comment to make
clear we should think twice before changing its prototype.
