1dfbab5949 [NETFILTER] Fix conntrack event cache deadlock/oops
This patch fixes a number of bugs.  It cannot be reasonably split up in
multiple fixes, since all bugs interact with each other and affect the same
function:

Bug #1:
The event cache code cannot be called while a lock is held.  Therefore, the
call to ip_conntrack_event_cache() within ip_ct_refresh_acct() needs to be
moved outside of the locked section.  This fixes a number of 2.6.14-rcX
oops and deadlock reports.

Bug #2:
We used to call ct_add_counters() for unconfirmed connections without
holding a lock.  Since the add operations are not atomic, we could race
with another CPU.

Bug #3:
ip_ct_refresh_acct() lost REFRESH events in some cases where refresh
(and the corresponding event) are desired, but no accounting shall be
performed.  Both, evenst and accounting implicitly depended on the skb
parameter bein non-null.   We now re-introduce a non-accounting
"ip_ct_refresh()" variant to explicitly state the desired behaviour.

83ca28befc [TCP]: Adjust Reno SACK estimate in tcp_fragment
Since the introduction of TSO pcount a year ago, it has been possible
for tcp_fragment() to cause packets_out to decrease.  Prior to that,
tcp_retrans_try_collapse() was the only way for that to happen on the
retransmission path.

When this happens with Reno, it is possible for sasked_out to become
invalid because it is only an estimate and not tied to any particular
packet on the retransmission queue.

Therefore we need to adjust sacked_out as well as left_out in the Reno
case.  The following patch does exactly that.

This bug is pretty difficult to trigger in practice though since you
need a SACKless peer with a retransmission that occurs just as the
cached MTU value expires.

7957aed72b [TCP]: Set default congestion control correctly for incoming connections.
Patch from Joel Sing to fix the default congestion control algorithm
for incoming connections. If a new congestion control handler is added
(via module), it should become the default for new
connections. Instead, the incoming connections use reno. The cause is
incorrect initialisation causes the tcp_init_congestion_control()
function to return after the initial if test fails.

e14c3caf60 [TCP]: Handle SACK'd packets properly in tcp_fragment().
The problem is that we're now calling tcp_fragment() in a context
where the packets might be marked as SACKED_ACKED or SACKED_RETRANS.
This was not possible before as you never retransmitted packets that
are so marked.

Because of this, we need to adjust sacked_out and retrans_out in
tcp_fragment().  This is exactly what the following patch does.

We also need to preserve the SACKED_ACKED/SACKED_RETRANS marking
if they exist.

136e92bbec [NETFILTER] CLUSTERIP: use a bitmap to store node responsibility data
Instead of maintaining an array containing a list of nodes this instance
is responsible for let's use a simple bitmap. This provides the
following features:

  * clusterip_responsible() and the add_node()/delete_node() operations
    become very simple and don't need locking
  * the config structure is much smaller

In spite of the completely different internal data representation the
user-space interface remains almost unchanged; the only difference is
that the proc file does not list nodes in the order they were added.
(The target info structure remains the same.)

4451362445 [NETFILTER] CLUSTERIP: introduce reference counting for entries
The CLUSTERIP target creates a procfs entry for all different cluster
IPs.  Although more than one rules can refer to a single cluster IP (and
thus a single config structure), removal of the procfs entry is done
unconditionally in destroy(). In more complicated situations involving
deferred dereferencing of the config structure by procfs and creating a
new rule with the same cluster IP it's also possible that no entry will
be created for the new rule.

This patch fixes the problem by counting the number of entries
referencing a given config structure and moving the config list
manipulation and procfs entry deletion parts to the
clusterip_config_entry_put() function.

87375ab47c [IPVS]: ip_vs_ftp breaks connections using persistence
ip_vs_ftp when loaded can create NAT connections with unknown client
port for passive FTP. For such expectations we lookup with cport=0 on
incoming packet but it matches the format of the persistence templates
causing packets to other persistent virtual servers to be forwarded to
real server without creating connection. Later the reply packets are
treated as foreign and not SNAT-ed.

This patch changes the connection lookup for packets from clients:

* introduce IP_VS_CONN_F_TEMPLATE connection flag to mark the
  connection as template

* create new connection lookup function just for templates -
  ip_vs_ct_in_get

* make sure ip_vs_conn_in_get hits only connections with
  IP_VS_CONN_F_NO_CPORT flag set when s_port is 0. By this way
  we avoid returning template when looking for cport=0 (ftp)

The problem is that the SACK fragmenting code may incorrectly call

And add a BUG() check to tcp_fragment() so we can spot this kind of
error more quickly in the future.

6475be16fd [TCP]: Keep TSO enabled even during loss events.
All we need to do is resegment the queue so that
we record SACK information accurately.  The edges
of the SACK blocks guide our resegmenting decisions.

With help from Herbert Xu.

ef01578615 [TCP]: Fix sk_forward_alloc underflow in tcp_sendmsg
I've finally found a potential cause of the sk_forward_alloc underflows
that people have been reporting sporadically.

When tcp_sendmsg tacks on extra bits to an existing TCP_PAGE we don't
check sk_forward_alloc even though a large amount of time may have
elapsed since we allocated the page.  In the mean time someone could've
come along and liberated packets and reclaimed sk_forward_alloc memory.

This patch makes tcp_sendmsg check sk_forward_alloc every time as we
do in do_tcp_sendpages.
