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.

This patch adds crypto_aead which is the interface for AEAD
(Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data) algorithms.
AEAD algorithms perform authentication and encryption in one
step. Traditionally users (such as IPsec) would use two
different crypto algorithms to perform these. With AEAD
this comes down to one algorithm and one operation.
Of course if traditional algorithms were used we'd still
be doing two operations underneath. However, real AEAD
algorithms may allow the underlying operations to be
optimised as well.

With the net namespaces many code leaved the __init section,
thus making the kernel occupy more memory than it did before.
Since we have a config option that prohibits the namespace
creation, the functions that initialize/finalize some netns
stuff are simply not needed and can be freed after the boot.
Currently, this is almost not noticeable, since few calls
are no longer in __init, but when the namespaces will be
merged it will be possible to free more code. I propose to
use the __net_init, __net_exit and __net_initdata "attributes"
for functions/variables that are not used if the CONFIG_NET_NS
is not set to save more space in memory.
The exiting functions cannot just reside in the __exit section,
as noticed by David, since the init section will have
references on it and the compilation will fail due to modpost
checks. These references can exist, since the init namespace
never dies and the exit callbacks are never called. So I
introduce the __exit_refok attribute just like it is already
done with the __init_refok.

This enables applications to query the current value of the Maximum
Packet Size via a socket option, suggested as a SHOULD in (RFC 4340,
p. 102).
This socket option is useful to avoid the annoying bail-out via
`-EMSGSIZE'. In particular, as fragmentation is not currently
supported (and its use is partly discouraged in RFC 4340).
With this option, it is possible to size buffers accordingly, e.g.
int buflen = dccp_get_cur_mps(sockfd);
/* or */
if (msgsize > dccp_get_cur_mps(sockfd))
die("message is too large for this path");

Keep track of disable_irq_nosync() invocations and call enable_irq() the
right number of times if work has been cancelled that would include them.
Now that the call to flush_work_keventd() (problematic because of
rtnl_mutex being held) has been replaced by cancel_work_sync() another
issue has arisen and been left unresolved. As the MDIO bus cannot be
accessed from the interrupt context the PHY interrupt handler uses
disable_irq_nosync() to prevent from looping and schedules some work to be
done as a softirq, which, apart from handling the state change of the
originating PHY, is responsible for reenabling the interrupt. Now if the
interrupt line is shared by another device and a call to the softirq
handler has been cancelled, that call to enable_irq() never happens and the
other device cannot use its interrupt anymore as its stuck disabled.
I decided to use a counter rather than a flag because there may be more
than one call to phy_change() cancelled in the queue -- a real one and a
fake one triggered by free_irq() if DEBUG_SHIRQ is used, if nothing else.
Therefore because of its nesting property enable_irq() has to be called the
right number of times to match the number disable_irq_nosync() was called
and restore the original state. This DEBUG_SHIRQ feature is also the
reason why free_irq() has to be called before cancel_work_sync().
While at it I updated the comment about phy_stop_interrupts() being called
from `keventd' -- this is no longer relevant as the use of
cancel_work_sync() makes such an approach unnecessary. OTOH a similar
comment referring to flush_scheduled_work() in phy_stop() still applies as
using cancel_work_sync() there would be dangerous.
Checked with checkpatch.pl and at the run time (with and without
DEBUG_SHIRQ).

Stateless NAT is useful in controlled environments where restrictions are
placed on through traffic such that we don't need connection tracking to
correctly NAT protocol-specific data.
In particular, this is of interest when the number of flows or the number
of addresses being NATed is large, or if connection tracking information
has to be replicated and where it is not practical to do so.
Previously we had stateless NAT functionality which was integrated into
the IPv4 routing subsystem. This was a great solution as long as the NAT
worked on a subnet to subnet basis such that the number of NAT rules was
relatively small. The reason is that for SNAT the routing based system
had to perform a linear scan through the rules.
If the number of rules is large then major renovations would have take
place in the routing subsystem to make this practical.
For the time being, the least intrusive way of achieving this is to use
the u32 classifier written by Alexey Kuznetsov along with the actions
infrastructure implemented by Jamal Hadi Salim.
The following patch is an attempt at this problem by creating a new nat
action that can be invoked from u32 hash tables which would allow large
number of stateless NAT rules that can be used/updated in constant time.
The actual NAT code is mostly based on the previous stateless NAT code
written by Alexey. In future we might be able to utilise the protocol
NAT code from netfilter to improve support for other protocols.

This patch allows you to create a new network namespace

As the network namespace is still experimental and under development
clone and unshare support is only made available when CONFIG_NET_NS is
selected at compile time.
As this patch introduces network namespace support into code paths
that exist when the CONFIG_NET is not selected there are a few

This implements a SHOULD from RFC 4340, 7.5.4:
"To protect against denial-of-service attacks, DCCP implementations SHOULD
impose a rate limit on DCCP-Syncs sent in response to sequence-invalid packets,
such as not more than eight DCCP-Syncs per second."
The rate-limit is maintained on a per-socket basis. This is a more stringent
policy than enforcing the rate-limit on a per-source-address basis and
protects against attacks with forged source addresses.
Moreover, the mechanism is deliberately kept simple. In contrast to
xrlim_allow(), bursts of Sync packets in reply to sequence-invalid packets
are not supported. This foils such attacks where the receipt of a Sync
triggers further sequence-invalid packets. (I have tested this mechanism against
xrlim_allow algorithm for Syncs, permitting bursts just increases the problems.)
In order to keep flexibility, the timeout parameter can be set via sysctl; and
the whole mechanism can even be disabled (which is however not recommended).
The algorithm in this patch has been improved with regard to wrapping issues
thanks to a suggestion by Arnaldo.
