Pavel Emelyanov 68528f0998 [NETNS][ICMP]: Make ctl tables for ICMP sysctls per-net.
Add some flesh to ipv4_sysctl_init_net and ipv4_sysctl_exit_net,
i.e. copy the table, alter .data pointers and register it per-net.

Other ipv4_table's sysctls are now global, but this is going to
change once sysctl permissions patches migrate from -mm tree to 
mainline in 2.6.26 merge window :)

In strategy_allowed_congestion_control of the 2.6.24 kernel, when

Pavel Emelyanov 8d8354d2fb [NETNS][FRAGS]: Move ctl tables around.
This is a preparation for sysctl netns-ization.
Move the ctl tables to the files, where the tuning
variables reside. Plus make the helpers to register
the tables.

This will simplify the later patches and will keep
similar things closer to each other.

ipv4, ipv6 and conntrack_reasm are patched differently,
but the result is all the tables are in appropriate files.

This includes the most simple cases for netfilter.

Pavel Emelyanov 68dd299bc8 [INET]: Merge sys.net.ipv4.ip_forward and sys.net.ipv4.conf.all.forwarding
AFAIS these two entries should do the same thing - change the
forwarding state on ipv4_devconf and on all the devices.

I propose to merge the handlers together using ctl paths.

The inet_forward_change() is static after this and I move
it higher to be closer to other "propagation" helpers and
to avoid diff making patches based on { and } matching :)
i.e. - make them easier to read.

Sam Jansen 5487796f0c [TCP]: Problem bug with sysctl_tcp_congestion_control function
From: "Sam Jansen" <sjansen@google.com>

sysctl_tcp_congestion_control seems to have a bug that prevents it
from actually calling the tcp_set_default_congestion_control
function. This is not so apparent because it does not return an error
and generally the /proc interface is used to configure the default TCP
congestion control algorithm.  This is present in 2.6.18 onwards and
probably earlier, though I have not inspected 2.6.15--2.6.17.

sysctl_tcp_congestion_control calls sysctl_string and expects a successful
return code of 0. In such a case it actually sets the congestion control
algorithm with tcp_set_default_congestion_control. Otherwise, it returns the
value returned by sysctl_string. This was correct in 2.6.14, as sysctl_string
returned 0 on success. However, sysctl_string was updated to return 1 on
success around about 2.6.15 and sysctl_tcp_congestion_control was not updated.
Even though sysctl_tcp_congestion_control returns 1, do_sysctl_strategy
converts this return code to '0', so the caller never notices the error.

Anton Arapov 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.

Eric W. Biederman 49641b58a7 sysctl: ipv4 remove binary sysctl paths where they are broken
Currently tcp_available_congestion_control does not even attempt being read
from sys_sysctl, and ipfrag_max_dist while it works allows setting of invalid
values using sys_sysctl.

So just kill the binary sys_sysctl support for these sysctls.  If the support
is not important enough to test and get right it probably isn't important
enough to keep.

New sysctl tcp_frto_response is added to select amongst these
responses:
	- Rate halving based; reuses CA_CWR state (default)
	- Very conservative; used to be the only one available (=1)
	- Undo cwr; undoes ssthresh and cwnd reductions (=2)

The response with rate halving requires a new parameter to
tcp_enter_cwr because FRTO has already reduced ssthresh and
doing a second reduction there has to be prevented. In addition,
to keep things nice on 80 cols screen, a local variable was
added.

Paul Moore 446fda4f26 [NetLabel]: CIPSOv4 engine
Add support for the Commercial IP Security Option (CIPSO) to the IPv4
network stack.  CIPSO has become a de-facto standard for
trusted/labeled networking amongst existing Trusted Operating Systems
such as Trusted Solaris, HP-UX CMW, etc.  This implementation is
designed to be used with the NetLabel subsystem to provide explicit
packet labeling to LSM developers.

The CIPSO/IPv4 packet labeling works by the LSM calling a NetLabel API
function which attaches a CIPSO label (IPv4 option) to a given socket;
this in turn attaches the CIPSO label to every packet leaving the
socket without any extra processing on the outbound side.  On the
inbound side the individual packet's sk_buff is examined through a
call to a NetLabel API function to determine if a CIPSO/IPv4 label is
present and if so the security attributes of the CIPSO label are
returned to the caller of the NetLabel API function.

now.

J. Simonetti 1c2fb7f93c [IPV4]: Sysctl configurable icmp error source address.
This patch alows you to change the source address of icmp error
messages. It applies cleanly to 2.6.11.11 and retains the default
behaviour.

In the old (default) behaviour icmp error messages are sent with the ip
of the exiting interface.

The new behaviour (when the sysctl variable is toggled on), it will send
the message with the ip of the interface that received the packet that
caused the icmp error. This is the behaviour network administrators will
expect from a router. It makes debugging complicated network layouts
much easier. Also, all 'vendor routers' I know of have the later
behaviour.
