a25de534f8 [INET]: Justification for local port range robustness.
There is a justifying patch for Stephen's patches. Stephen's patches
disallows using a port range of one single port and brakes the meaning
of the 'remaining' variable, in some places it has different meaning.
My patch gives back the sense of 'remaining' variable. It should mean
how many ports are remaining and nothing else. Also my patch allows
using a single port.

  I sure we must be able to use mentioned port range, this does not
restricted by documentation and does not brake current behavior.

064b5bba0c sysctl: remove broken netfilter binary sysctls
No one has bothered to set strategy routine for the the netfilter sysctls that
return jiffies to be sysctl_jiffies.

So it appears the sys_sysctl path is unused and untested, so this patch
removes the binary sysctl numbers.

Which fixes the netfilter oops in 2.6.23-rc2-mm2 for me.

d12af679bc sysctl: fix neighbour table sysctls.
- In ipv6 ndisc_ifinfo_syctl_change so it doesn't depend on binary
  sysctl names for a function that works with proc.

- In neighbour.c reorder the table to put the possibly unused entries
  at the end so we can remove them by terminating the table early.

- In neighbour.c kill the entries with questionable binary sysctl
  handling behavior.

- In neighbour.c if we don't have a strategy routine remove the

78c2e50253 [IPV6]: Fix race in ipv6_flowlabel_opt() when inserting two labels
In the IPV6_FL_A_GET case the hash is checked for flowlabels
with the given label. If it is not found, the lock, protecting 
the hash, is dropped to be re-get for writing. After this a
newly allocated entry is inserted, but no checks are performed
to catch a classical SMP race, when the conflicting label may 
be inserted on another cpu.

Use the (currently unused) return value from fl_intern() to
return the conflicting entry (if found) and re-check, whether
we can reuse it (IPV6_FL_F_EXCL) or return -EEXISTS.

Also add the comment, about why not re-lookup the current
sock for conflicting flowlabel entry.

13996378e6 [IPSEC]: Rename mode to outer_mode and add inner_mode
This patch adds a new field to xfrm states called inner_mode.  The existing
mode object is renamed to outer_mode.

This is the first part of an attempt to fix inter-family transforms.  As it
is we always use the outer family when determining which mode to use.  As a
result we may end up shoving IPv4 packets into netfilter6 and vice versa.

What we really want is to use the inner family for the first part of outbound
processing and the outer family for the second part.  For inbound processing
we'd use the opposite pairing.

I've also added a check to prevent silly combinations such as transport mode
with inter-family transforms.

ca68145f16 [IPSEC]: Disallow combinations of RO and AH/ESP/IPCOMP
Combining RO and AH/ESP/IPCOMP does not make sense.  So this patch adds a
check in the state initialisation function to prevent this.

This allows us to safely remove the mode input function of RO since it
can never be called anymore.  Indeed, if somehow it does get called we'll
know about it through an OOPS instead of it slipping past silently.

17c2a42a24 [IPSEC]: Store afinfo pointer in xfrm_mode
It is convenient to have a pointer from xfrm_state to address-specific
functions such as the output function for a family.  Currently the
address-specific policy code calls out to the xfrm state code to get
those pointers when we could get it in an easier way via the state
itself.

This patch adds an xfrm_state_afinfo to xfrm_mode (since they're
address-specific) and changes the policy code to use it.  I've also
added an owner field to do reference counting on the module providing
the afinfo even though it isn't strictly necessary today since IPv6
can't be unloaded yet.

1bfcb10f67 [IPSEC]: Add missing BEET checks
Currently BEET mode does not reinject the packet back into the stack
like tunnel mode does.  Since BEET should behave just like tunnel mode
this is incorrect.

This patch fixes this by introducing a flags field to xfrm_mode that
tells the IPsec code whether it should terminate and reinject the packet
back into the stack.

It then sets the flag for BEET and tunnel mode.

I've also added a number of missing BEET checks elsewhere where we check
whether a given mode is a tunnel or not.

7aa68cb906 [IPSEC]: Move ip_summed zapping out of xfrm6_rcv_spi
Not every transform needs to zap ip_summed.  For example, a pure tunnel
mode encapsulation does not affect the hardware checksum at all.  In fact,
every algorithm (that needs this) other than AH6 already does its own
ip_summed zapping.

This patch moves the zapping into AH6 which is in line with what IPv4 does.

Possible future optimisation: Checksum the data as we copy them in IPComp.

I noticed that my recent patch broke 6-on-4 pure IPsec tunnels (the ones
that are only used for incompressible IPsec packets).  Subsequent reviews
show that I broke 6-on-6 pure tunnels more than three years ago and nobody

This patch fixes both cases.

1dff92e09e [IPV6] __inet6_csk_dst_store(): fix check-after-use
The Coverity checker spotted that we have already oops'ed if "dst" was
NULL.

Since "dst" being NULL doesn't seem to be possible at this point this
patch removes the NULL check.

This patch replaces unnecessary uses of skb_copy by pskb_expand_head

f61944efdf [IPV6]: Make ipv6_frag_rcv return the same packet
This patch implements the same change taht was done to ip_defrag.  It
makes ipv6_frag_rcv return the last packet received of a train of fragments
rather than the head of that sequence.

This allows us to get rid of the sk_buff ** argument later.

4953f0fcc0 [IPv6]: Update setsockopt(IPV6_MULTICAST_IF) to support RFC 3493, try2
From RFC 3493, Section 5.2:

       IPV6_MULTICAST_IF

          Set the interface to use for outgoing multicast packets.  The
          argument is the index of the interface to use.  If the
          interface index is specified as zero, the system selects the
          interface (for example, by looking up the address in a routing
          table and using the resulting interface).

This patch adds support for (index == 0) to reset the value to it's 
original state, allowing the system to choose the best interface.  IPv4 
already behaves this way.

31910575a9 [IPv6]: Export userland ND options through netlink (RDNSS support)
As discussed before, this patch provides userland with a way to access
relevant options in Router Advertisements, after they are processed
and validated by the kernel. Extra options are processed in a generic
way; this patch only exports RDNSS options described in RFC5006, but
support to control which options are exported could be easily added.

A new rtnetlink message type is defined, to transport Neighbor
Discovery options, along with optional context information. At the
moment only the address of the router sending an RDNSS option is
included, but additional attributes may be later defined, if needed by
new use cases.

cd40b7d398 [NET]: make netlink user -> kernel interface synchronious
This patch make processing netlink user -> kernel messages synchronious.
This change was inspired by the talk with Alexey Kuznetsov about current
netlink messages processing. He says that he was badly wrong when introduced 
asynchronious user -> kernel communication.

The call netlink_unicast is the only path to send message to the kernel
netlink socket. But, unfortunately, it is also used to send data to the
user.

Before this change the user message has been attached to the socket queue
and sk->sk_data_ready was called. The process has been blocked until all
pending messages were processed. The bad thing is that this processing
may occur in the arbitrary process context.

This patch changes nlk->data_ready callback to get 1 skb and force packet
processing right in the netlink_unicast.

Kernel -> user path in netlink_unicast remains untouched.

EINTR processing for in netlink_run_queue was changed. It forces rtnl_lock
drop, but the process remains in the cycle until the message will be fully
processed. So, there is no need to use this kludges now.

227b60f510 [INET]: local port range robustness
Expansion of original idea from Denis V. Lunev <den@openvz.org>

Add robustness and locking to the local_port_range sysctl.
1. Enforce that low < high when setting.
2. Use seqlock to ensure atomic update.

The locking might seem like overkill, but there are
cases where sysadmin might want to change value in the
middle of a DoS attack.

ceb1eec829 [IPSEC]: Move IP length/checksum setting out of transforms
This patch moves the setting of the IP length and checksum fields out of
the transforms and into the xfrmX_output functions.  This would help future
efforts in merging the transforms themselves.

It also adds an optimisation to ipcomp due to the fact that the transport
offset is guaranteed to be zero.
