f250dcdac1 ipv6: fix the return interface index when get it while no message is received
When get receiving interface index while no message is received,
the the value seted with setsockopt() should be returned.

RFC 3542:
   Issuing getsockopt() for the above options will return the sticky
   option value i.e., the value set with setsockopt().  If no sticky
   option value has been set getsockopt() will return the following
   values:

   -  For the IPV6_PKTINFO option, it will return an in6_pktinfo
      structure with ipi6_addr being in6addr_any and ipi6_ifindex being
      zero.

b24a2516d1 ipv6: Add IPV6_PKTINFO sticky option support to setsockopt()
There are three reasons for me to add this support:
1.When no interface is specified in an IPV6_PKTINFO ancillary data
  item, the interface specified in an IPV6_PKTINFO sticky optionis 
  is used.

RFC3542:
6.7.  Summary of Outgoing Interface Selection

   This document and [RFC-3493] specify various methods that affect the
   selection of the packet's outgoing interface.  This subsection
   summarizes the ordering among those in order to ensure deterministic
   behavior.

   For a given outgoing packet on a given socket, the outgoing interface
   is determined in the following order:

   1. if an interface is specified in an IPV6_PKTINFO ancillary data
      item, the interface is used.

   2. otherwise, if an interface is specified in an IPV6_PKTINFO sticky
      option, the interface is used.

2.When no IPV6_PKTINFO ancillary data is received,getsockopt() should 
  return the sticky option value which set with setsockopt().

RFC 3542:
   Issuing getsockopt() for the above options will return the sticky
   option value i.e., the value set with setsockopt().  If no sticky
   option value has been set getsockopt() will return the following
   values:

3.Make the setsockopt implementation POSIX compliant.

6e093d9dff ipv6: routing header fixes
This patch fixes two bugs:

1. setsockopt() of anything but a Type 2 routing header should return
EINVAL instead of EPERM.  Noticed by Shan Wei
(shanwei@cn.fujitsu.com).

2. setsockopt()/sendmsg() of a Type 2 routing header with invalid
length or segments should return EINVAL.  These values are statically
fixed in RFC 3775, unlike the variable Type 0 was.

db8dac20d5 [UDP]: Revert udplite and code split.
This reverts commit db1ed684f6 ("[IPV6]
UDP: Rename IPv6 UDP files."), commit
8be8af8fa4 ("[IPV4] UDP: Move
IPv4-specific bits to other file.") and commit
e898d4db27 ("[UDP]: Allow users to
configure UDP-Lite.").

First, udplite is of such small cost, and it is a core protocol just
like TCP and normal UDP are.

We spent enormous amounts of effort to make udplite share as much code
with core UDP as possible.  All of that work is less valuable if we're
just going to slap a config option on udplite support.

It is also causing build failures, as reported on linux-next, showing
that the changeset was not tested very well.  In fact, this is the
second build failure resulting from the udplite change.

Finally, the config options provided was a bool, instead of a modular
option.  Meaning the udplite code does not even get build tested
by allmodconfig builds, and furthermore the user is not presented
with a reasonable modular build option which is particularly needed
by distribution vendors.

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.

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.

660adc6e60 [IPv6]: Invalid semicolon after if statement
A similar fix to netfilter from Eric Dumazet inspired me to
look around a bit by using some grep/sed stuff as looking for
this kind of bugs seemed easy to automate. This is one of them
I found where it looks like this semicolon is not valid.

4c752098f5 [IPV6]: Make IPV6_{RECV,2292}RTHDR boolean options.
Because reversing RH0 is no longer supported by deprecation
of RH0, let's make IPV6_{RECV,2292}RTHDR boolean options.
Boolean are more appropriate from standard POV.

d212f87b06 [NET]: IPV6 checksum offloading in network devices
The existing model for checksum offload does not correctly handle
devices that can offload IPV4 and IPV6 only. The NETIF_F_HW_CSUM flag
implies device can do any arbitrary protocol.

This patch:
 * adds NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM for those devices
 * fixes bnx2 and tg3 devices that need it
 * add NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM to ipv6 output (incl GSO)
 * fixes assumptions about NETIF_F_ALL_CSUM in nat
 * adjusts bridge union of checksumming computation

59fbb3a61e [IPV6] MIP6: Loadable module support for MIPv6.
This patch makes MIPv6 loadable module named "mip6".

Here is a modprobe.conf(5) example to load it automatically
when user application uses XFRM state for MIPv6:

alias xfrm-type-10-43 mip6
alias xfrm-type-10-60 mip6

Some MIPv6 feature is not included by this modular, however,
it should not be affected to other features like either IPsec
or IPv6 with and without the patch.
We may discuss XFRM, MH (RAW socket) and ancillary data/sockopt
separately for future work.

Loadable features:
* MH receiving check (to send ICMP error back)
* RO header parsing and building (i.e. RH2 and HAO in DSTOPTS)
* XFRM policy/state database handling for RO

These are NOT covered as loadable:
* Home Address flags and its rule on source address selection
* XFRM sub policy (depends on its own kernel option)
* XFRM functions to receive RO as IPv6 extension header
* MH sending/receiving through raw socket if user application
  opens it (since raw socket allows to do so)
* RH2 sending as ancillary data
* RH2 operation with setsockopt(2)

628a5c5618 [INET]: Add IP(V6)_PMTUDISC_RPOBE
Add IP(V6)_PMTUDISC_PROBE value for IP(V6)_MTU_DISCOVER.  This option forces
us not to fragment, but does not make use of the kernel path MTU discovery.
That is, it allows for user-mode MTU probing (or, packetization-layer path
MTU discovery).  This is particularly useful for diagnostic utilities, like
traceroute/tracepath.
