89dc79b787 netfilter: ipset: hash:net,iface fixed to handle overlapping nets behind different interfaces
If overlapping networks with different interfaces was added to
the set, the type did not handle it properly. Example

    ipset create test hash:net,iface
    ipset add test 192.168.0.0/16,eth0
    ipset add test 192.168.0.0/24,eth1

Now, if a packet was sent from 192.168.0.0/24,eth0, the type returned
a match.

In the patch the algorithm is fixed in order to correctly handle
overlapping networks.

Limitation: the same network cannot be stored with more than 64 different
interfaces in a single set.

dec17b7451 Remove redundant linux/version.h includes from net/
It was suggested by "make versioncheck" that the follwing includes of
linux/version.h are redundant:

  /home/jj/src/linux-2.6/net/caif/caif_dev.c: 14 linux/version.h not needed.
  /home/jj/src/linux-2.6/net/caif/chnl_net.c: 10 linux/version.h not needed.
  /home/jj/src/linux-2.6/net/ipv4/gre.c: 19 linux/version.h not needed.
  /home/jj/src/linux-2.6/net/netfilter/ipset/ip_set_core.c: 20 linux/version.h not needed.
  /home/jj/src/linux-2.6/net/netfilter/xt_set.c: 16 linux/version.h not needed.

and it seems that it is right.

Beyond manually inspecting the source files I also did a few build
tests with various configs to confirm that including the header in
those files is indeed not needed.

Here's a patch to remove the pointless includes.

e385357a2f netfilter: ipset: hash:net,iface type introduced
The hash:net,iface type makes possible to store network address and
interface name pairs in a set. It's mostly suitable for egress
and ingress filtering. Examples:

        # ipset create test hash:net,iface
        # ipset add test 192.168.0.0/16,eth0
        # ipset add test 192.168.0.0/24,eth1

5416219e5c netfilter: ipset: timeout can be modified for already added elements
When an element to a set with timeout added, one can change the timeout
by "readding" the element with the "-exist" flag. That means the timeout
value is reset to the specified one (or to the default from the set
specification if the "timeout n" option is not used). Example

ipset add foo 1.2.3.4 timeout 10
ipset add foo 1.2.3.4 timeout 600 -exist

c7ac8679be rtnetlink: Compute and store minimum ifinfo dump size
The message size allocated for rtnl ifinfo dumps was limited to
a single page.  This is not enough for additional interface info
available with devices that support SR-IOV and caused a bug in
which VF info would not be displayed if more than approximately
40 VFs were created per interface.

Implement a new function pointer for the rtnl_register service that will
calculate the amount of data required for the ifinfo dump and allocate
enough data to satisfy the request.

f830837f0e netfilter: ipset: list:set set type support
The module implements the list:set type support in two flavours:
without and with timeout. The sets has two sides: for the userspace,
they store the names of other (non list:set type of) sets: one can add,
delete and test set names. For the kernel, it forms an ordered union of
the member sets: the members sets are tried in order when elements are
added, deleted and tested and the process stops at the first success.

In other words the processing time linearly grows with the number of

07896ed37b netfilter: ipset: hash:ip,port set type support
The module implements the hash:ip,port type support in four flavours:
for IPv4 and IPv6, both without and with timeout support. The elements
are two dimensional: IPv4/IPv6 address and protocol/port pairs. The port
is interpeted for TCP, UPD, ICMP and ICMPv6 (at the latters as type/code
of course).

6c02788969 netfilter: ipset: hash:ip set type support
The module implements the hash:ip type support in four flavours:
for IPv4 or IPv6, both without and with timeout support.

All the hash types are based on the "array hash" or ahash structure
and functions as a good compromise between minimal memory footprint
and speed. The hashing uses arrays to resolve clashes. The hash table
is resized (doubled) when searching becomes too long. Resizing can be
triggered by userspace add commands only and those are serialized by
the nfnl mutex. During resizing the set is read-locked, so the only
possible concurrent operations are the kernel side readers. Those are
protected by RCU locking.

Because of the four flavours and the other hash types, the functions
are implemented in general forms in the ip_set_ahash.h header file
and the real functions are generated before compiling by macro expansion.
Thus the dereferencing of low-level functions and void pointer arguments
could be avoided: the low-level functions are inlined, the function
arguments are pointers of type-specific structures.
