Dave Jones c750360938 [IPV6]: remove useless test in ip6_append_data
We've already dereferenced 'np' a dozen
times at this point, so it's safe to say it's not null.

Herbert Xu cbb042f9e1 [NET]: Replace skb_pull/skb_postpull_rcsum with skb_pull_rcsum
We're now starting to have quite a number of places that do skb_pull
followed immediately by an skb_postpull_rcsum.  We can merge these two
operations into one function with skb_pull_rcsum.  This makes sense
since most pull operations on receive skb's need to update the
checksum.

I've decided to make this out-of-line since it is fairly big and the
fast path where hardware checksums are enabled need to call
csum_partial anyway.

Since this is a brand new function we get to add an extra check on the
len argument.  As it is most callers of skb_pull ignore its return
value which essentially means that there is no check on the len
argument.

Steven Whitehouse c4ea94ab37 [DECnet]: Endian annotation and fixes for DECnet.
The typedef for dn_address has been removed in favour of using __le16
or __u16 directly as appropriate. All the DECnet header files are
updated accordingly.

The byte ordering of dn_eth2dn() and dn_dn2eth() are both changed
since just about all their callers wanted network order rather than
host order, so the conversion is now done in the functions themselves.

Several missed endianess conversions have been picked up during the
conversion process. The nh_gw field in struct dn_fib_info has been
changed from a 32 bit field to 16 bits as it ought to be.

One or two cases of using htons rather than dn_htons in the routing
code have been found and fixed.

There are still a few warnings to fix, but this patch deals with the
important cases.

Catherine Zhang 2c7946a7bf [SECURITY]: TCP/UDP getpeersec
This patch implements an application of the LSM-IPSec networking
controls whereby an application can determine the label of the
security association its TCP or UDP sockets are currently connected to
via getsockopt and the auxiliary data mechanism of recvmsg.

Patch purpose:

This patch enables a security-aware application to retrieve the
security context of an IPSec security association a particular TCP or
UDP socket is using.  The application can then use this security
context to determine the security context for processing on behalf of
the peer at the other end of this connection.  In the case of UDP, the
security context is for each individual packet.  An example
application is the inetd daemon, which could be modified to start
daemons running at security contexts dependent on the remote client.

Patch design approach:

- Design for TCP
The patch enables the SELinux LSM to set the peer security context for
a socket based on the security context of the IPSec security
association.  The application may retrieve this context using
getsockopt.  When called, the kernel determines if the socket is a
connected (TCP_ESTABLISHED) TCP socket and, if so, uses the dst_entry
cache on the socket to retrieve the security associations.  If a
security association has a security context, the context string is
returned, as for UNIX domain sockets.

- Design for UDP
Unlike TCP, UDP is connectionless.  This requires a somewhat different
API to retrieve the peer security context.  With TCP, the peer
security context stays the same throughout the connection, thus it can
be retrieved at any time between when the connection is established
and when it is torn down.  With UDP, each read/write can have
different peer and thus the security context might change every time.
As a result the security context retrieval must be done TOGETHER with
the packet retrieval.

The solution is to build upon the existing Unix domain socket API for
retrieving user credentials.  Linux offers the API for obtaining user
credentials via ancillary messages (i.e., out of band/control messages
that are bundled together with a normal message).

Patch implementation details:

- Implementation for TCP
The security context can be retrieved by applications using getsockopt
with the existing SO_PEERSEC flag.  As an example (ignoring error
checking):

getsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_PEERSEC, optbuf, &optlen);
printf("Socket peer context is: %s\n", optbuf);

The SELinux function, selinux_socket_getpeersec, is extended to check
for labeled security associations for connected (TCP_ESTABLISHED ==
sk->sk_state) TCP sockets only.  If so, the socket has a dst_cache of
struct dst_entry values that may refer to security associations.  If
these have security associations with security contexts, the security
context is returned.

getsockopt returns a buffer that contains a security context string or
the buffer is unmodified.

- Implementation for UDP
To retrieve the security context, the application first indicates to
the kernel such desire by setting the IP_PASSSEC option via
getsockopt.  Then the application retrieves the security context using
the auxiliary data mechanism.

An example server application for UDP should look like this:

toggle = 1;
toggle_len = sizeof(toggle);

setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_IP, IP_PASSSEC, &toggle, &toggle_len);
recvmsg(sockfd, &msg_hdr, 0);
if (msg_hdr.msg_controllen > sizeof(struct cmsghdr)) {
    cmsg_hdr = CMSG_FIRSTHDR(&msg_hdr);
    if (cmsg_hdr->cmsg_len <= CMSG_LEN(sizeof(scontext)) &&
        cmsg_hdr->cmsg_level == SOL_IP &&
        cmsg_hdr->cmsg_type == SCM_SECURITY) {
        memcpy(&scontext, CMSG_DATA(cmsg_hdr), sizeof(scontext));
    }
}

ip_setsockopt is enhanced with a new socket option IP_PASSSEC to allow
a server socket to receive security context of the peer.  A new
ancillary message type SCM_SECURITY.

When the packet is received we get the security context from the
sec_path pointer which is contained in the sk_buff, and copy it to the
ancillary message space.  An additional LSM hook,
selinux_socket_getpeersec_udp, is defined to retrieve the security
context from the SELinux space.  The existing function,
selinux_socket_getpeersec does not suit our purpose, because the
security context is copied directly to user space, rather than to
kernel space.

Testing:

We have tested the patch by setting up TCP and UDP connections between
applications on two machines using the IPSec policies that result in
labeled security associations being built.  For TCP, we can then
extract the peer security context using getsockopt on either end.  For
UDP, the receiving end can retrieve the security context using the
auxiliary data mechanism of recvmsg.

Patrick McHardy be33690d8f [XFRM]: Fix aevent related crash
When xfrm_user isn't loaded xfrm_nl is NULL, which makes IPsec crash because
xfrm_aevent_is_on passes the NULL pointer to netlink_has_listeners as socket.
A second problem is that the xfrm_nl pointer is not cleared when the socket
is releases at module unload time.

Protect references of xfrm_nl from outside of xfrm_user by RCU, check
that the socket is present in xfrm_aevent_is_on and set it to NULL
when unloading xfrm_user.

Rick Jones 15d99e02ba [TCP]: sysctl to allow TCP window > 32767 sans wscale
Back in the dark ages, we had to be conservative and only allow 15-bit
window fields if the window scale option was not negotiated.  Some
ancient stacks used a signed 16-bit quantity for the window field of
the TCP header and would get confused.

Those days are long gone, so we can use the full 16-bits by default
now.

There is a sysctl added so that we can still interact with such old
stacks

Jeff Mahoney 59f1741e54 [TG3]: netif_carrier_off runs too early; could still be queued when init fails
Move the netif_carrier_off() call from tg3_init_one()->
tg3_init_link_config() to tg3_open() as is the convention for most other
network drivers.

I was getting a panic after a tg3 device failed to initialize due to DMA
failure.  The oops pointed to the link watch queue with spinlock debugging
enabled.  Without spinlock debugging, the Oops didn't occur.

I suspect that the link event was getting queued but not executed until
after the DMA test had failed and the device was freed.  The link event was
then operating on freed memory, which could contain anything.  With this
patch applied, the Oops no longer occurs.

[ Based upon feedback from Michael Chan, we move netif_carrier_off()
  to the end of tg3_init_one() instead of moving it to tg3_open() -DaveM ]

Sam Ravnborg 05790c6456 [TIPC]: Remove inlines from *.c
With reference to latest discussions on linux-kernel with respect to
inline here is a patch for tipc to remove all inlines as used in
the .c files. See also chapter 14 in Documentation/CodingStyle.

Before:
   text        data     bss     dec     hex filename
 102990        5292    1752  110034   1add2 tipc.o

Now:
   text        data     bss     dec     hex filename
 101190        5292    1752  108234   1a6ca tipc.o

This is a nice text size reduction which will improve icache usage.
In some cases bigger (> 4 lines) functions where declared inline
and used in many places, they are most probarly no longer inlined by gcc
resulting in the size reduction.
There are several one liners that no longer are declared inline, but gcc
should inline these just fine without the inline hint.

With this patch applied one warning is added about an unused static
function - that was hidded by utilising inline before.
The function in question were kept so this patch is solely a
inline removal patch.

Benjamin LaHaise 6cb153cab9 [NET]: use fget_light() in net/socket.c
Here's an updated copy of the patch to use fget_light in net/socket.c.
Rerunning the tests show a drop of ~80Mbit/s on average, which looks
bad until you see the drop in cpu usage from ~89% to ~82%.  That will
get fixed in another patch...

Michael S. Tsirkin c5ecd62c25 [NET]: Move destructor from neigh->ops to neigh_params
struct neigh_ops currently has a destructor field, which no in-kernel
drivers outside of infiniband use.  The infiniband/ulp/ipoib in-tree
driver stashes some info in the neighbour structure (the results of
the second-stage lookup from ARP results to real link-level path), and
it uses neigh->ops->destructor to get a callback so it can clean up
this extra info when a neighbour is freed.  We've run into problems
with this: since the destructor is in an ops field that is shared
between neighbours that may belong to different net devices, there's
no way to set/clear it safely.

The following patch moves this field to neigh_parms where it can be
safely set, together with its twin neigh_setup.  Two additional
patches in the patch series update ipoib to use this new interface.

Luiz Capitulino 6146e6a43b [PKTGEN]: Removes thread_{un,}lock() macros.
As suggested by Arnaldo, this patch replaces the
thread_lock()/thread_unlock() by directly calls to
mutex_lock()/mutex_unlock().

This change makes the code a bit more readable, and the direct calls
are used everywhere in the kernel.
