Allan Stephens 9b674e82b7 [TIPC]: Cosmetic cleanup of TIPC polling logic
This patch eliminates an unnecessary poll-related routine
by merging it into TIPC's main polling routine, and updates
the comments associated with this code.

Allan Stephens c0cb7ef086 [TIPC]: Enhancements to message header writing
This patch makes two enhancements to the routine used to
set bit fields within a TIPC message header:

 1) It now ignores any bits of the new field value that are not
    covered by the mask being used.  (Previously, if the new value
    exceeded the size of the mask the extra bits could corrupt
    other fields in the message header word being updated.)

 2) The code has been optimized to minimize the number of run-time
    endianness conversion operations by leveraging the fact that the
    mask (and, in some cases, the value as well) is constant and the
    necessary conversion can be performed by the compiler.

Julia Lawall 4cec72c890 [TIPC]: Use tipc_port_unlock
The file net/tipc/port.c takes a lock using the function tipc_port_lock and
then releases the lock sometimes using tipc_port_unlock and sometimes using
spin_unlock_bh(p_ptr->publ.lock).  tipc_port_unlock simply does the
spin_unlock_bh, but it seems cleaner to use it everywhere.

The problem was fixed using the following semantic patch.

Eric W. Biederman 881d966b48 [NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace.
This patch makes most of the generic device layer network
namespace safe.  This patch makes dev_base_head a
network namespace variable, and then it picks up
a few associated variables.  The functions:
dev_getbyhwaddr
dev_getfirsthwbytype
dev_get_by_flags
dev_get_by_name
__dev_get_by_name
dev_get_by_index
__dev_get_by_index
dev_ioctl
dev_ethtool
dev_load
wireless_process_ioctl

were modified to take a network namespace argument, and
deal with it.

vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their
hooks will receive a network namespace argument.

So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was
affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle
multiple network namespaces.  The rest of the network stack was
simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network
namespace.  This can be fixed when those components of the network
stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces.

For now the ifindex generator is left global.

Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else
we will have corner case problems with migration when
we get that far.

At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack
that the ifindex of a network device won't change.  Making
the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until
the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when
you change namespaces, and the like.

Eric W. Biederman e9dc865340 [NET]: Make device event notification network namespace safe
Every user of the network device notifiers is either a protocol
stack or a pseudo device.  If a protocol stack that does not have
support for multiple network namespaces receives an event for a
device that is not in the initial network namespace it quite possibly
can get confused and do the wrong thing.

To avoid problems until all of the protocol stacks are converted
this patch modifies all netdev event handlers to ignore events on
devices that are not in the initial network namespace.

As the rest of the code is made network namespace aware these
checks can be removed.

Eric W. Biederman 1b8d7ae42d [NET]: Make socket creation namespace safe.
This patch passes in the namespace a new socket should be created in
and has the socket code do the appropriate reference counting.  By
virtue of this all socket create methods are touched.  In addition
the socket create methods are modified so that they will fail if
you attempt to create a socket in a non-default network namespace.

Failing if we attempt to create a socket outside of the default
network namespace ensures that as we incrementally make the network stack
network namespace aware we will not export functionality that someone
has not audited and made certain is network namespace safe.
Allowing us to partially enable network namespaces before all of the
exotic protocols are supported.

Any protocol layers I have missed will fail to compile because I now
pass an extra parameter into the socket creation code.

Allan Stephens 05646c9110 [TIPC]: Optimize stream send routine to avoid fragmentation
This patch enhances TIPC's stream socket send routine so that
it avoids transmitting data in chunks that require fragmentation
and reassembly, thereby improving performance at both the
sending and receiving ends of the connection.

The "maximum packet size" hint that records MTU info allows
the socket to decide how big a chunk it should send; in the
event that the hint has become stale, fragmentation may still
occur, but the data will be passed correctly and the hint will
be updated in time for the following send.  Note: The 66060 byte
pseudo-MTU used for intra-node connections requires the send
routine to perform an additional check to ensure it does not
exceed TIPC"s limit of 66000 bytes of user data per chunk.

Allan Stephens 1f9eda7e2b [TIPC]: Enhancements to msg_set_bits() routine
This patch makes two enhancements to msg_set_bits():

1) It now ignores any bits of the new field value that are not
   covered by the mask being used.  (Previously, if the new value
   exceeded the size of the mask the extra bits could corrupt
   other fields in the message header word being updated.)

2) The code has been optimized to minimize the number of run-time
   endianness conversion operations by leveraging the fact that the
   mask (and, in some cases, the value as well) is constant and the
   necessary conversion can be performed by the compiler.

Stephen Hemminger 3ff50b7997 [NET]: cleanup extra semicolons
Spring cleaning time...

There seems to be a lot of places in the network code that have
extra bogus semicolons after conditionals.  Most commonly is a
bogus semicolon after: switch() { }

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 27d7ff46a3 [SK_BUFF]: Introduce skb_copy_to_linear_data{_offset}
To clearly state the intent of copying to linear sk_buffs, _offset being a
overly long variant but interesting for the sake of saving some bytes.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo b529ccf279 [NETLINK]: Introduce nlmsg_hdr() helper
For the common "(struct nlmsghdr *)skb->data" sequence, so that we reduce the
number of direct accesses to skb->data and for consistency with all the other
cast skb member helpers.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 27a884dc3c [SK_BUFF]: Convert skb->tail to sk_buff_data_t
So that it is also an offset from skb->head, reduces its size from 8 to 4 bytes
on 64bit architectures, allowing us to combine the 4 bytes hole left by the
layer headers conversion, reducing struct sk_buff size to 256 bytes, i.e. 4
64byte cachelines, and since the sk_buff slab cache is SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN...
:-)

Many calculations that previously required that skb->{transport,network,
mac}_header be first converted to a pointer now can be done directly, being
meaningful as offsets or pointers.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo c1d2bbe1cd [SK_BUFF]: Introduce skb_reset_network_header(skb)
For the common, open coded 'skb->nh.raw = skb->data' operation, so that we can
later turn skb->nh.raw into a offset, reducing the size of struct sk_buff in
64bit land while possibly keeping it as a pointer on 32bit.

This one touches just the most simple case, next will handle the slightly more
"complex" cases.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 98e399f82a [SK_BUFF]: Introduce skb_mac_header()
For the places where we need a pointer to the mac header, it is still legal to
touch skb->mac.raw directly if just adding to, subtracting from or setting it
to another layer header.

This one also converts some more cases to skb_reset_mac_header() that my
regex missed as it had no spaces before nor after '=', ugh.
