b5f7e75547 ipv4: add LINUX_MIB_IPRPFILTER snmp counter
Christoph Lameter mentioned that packets could be dropped in input path
because of rp_filter settings, without any SNMP counter being
incremented. System administrator can have a hard time to track the
problem.

This patch introduces a new counter, LINUX_MIB_IPRPFILTER, incremented
each time we drop a packet because Reverse Path Filter triggers.

(We receive an IPv4 datagram on a given interface, and find the route to
send an answer would use another interface)

netstat -s | grep IPReversePathFilter
    IPReversePathFilter: 21714

130c0f47fd ipconfig: send host-name in DHCP requests
Normally dhclient can be configured to send the "host-name" option
in DHCP requests to update the client's DNS record. However for an
NFSROOT system, dhclient shall never be called (which may change the
IP addr and therefore lose your root NFS mount connection).

So enable updating the DNS record with kernel parameter

	ip=::::$HOST_NAME::dhcp

06c4648d46 arp_notify: allow drivers to explicitly request a notification event.
Currently such notifications are only generated when the device comes up or the
address changes. However one use case for these notifications is to enable
faster network recovery after a virtual machine migration (by causing switches
to relearn their MAC tables). A migration appears to the network stack as a
temporary loss of carrier and therefore does not trigger either of the current
conditions. Rather than adding carrier up as a trigger (which can cause issues
when interfaces a flapping) simply add an interface which the driver can use
to explicitly trigger the notification.

lock hold, or we risk sk_forward_alloc corruption, since we use non

8a74ad60a5 net: fix lock_sock_bh/unlock_sock_bh
This new sock lock primitive was introduced to speedup some user context
socket manipulation. But it is unsafe to protect two threads, one using
regular lock_sock/release_sock, one using lock_sock_bh/unlock_sock_bh

This patch changes lock_sock_bh to be careful against 'owned' state.
If owned is found to be set, we must take the slow path.
lock_sock_bh() now returns a boolean to say if the slow path was taken,
and this boolean is used at unlock_sock_bh time to call the appropriate
unlock function.

After this change, BH are either disabled or enabled during the
lock_sock_bh/unlock_sock_bh protected section. This might be misleading,
so we rename these functions to lock_sock_fast()/unlock_sock_fast().

de213e5eed tcp: tcp_synack_options() fix
Commit 33ad798c92 (tcp: options clean up) introduced a problem
if MD5+SACK+timestamps were used in initial SYN message.

Some stacks (old linux for example) try to negotiate MD5+SACK+TSTAMP
sessions, but since 40 bytes of tcp options space are not enough to
store all the bits needed, we chose to disable timestamps in this case.

We send a SYN-ACK _without_ timestamp option, but socket has timestamps
enabled and all further outgoing messages contain a TS block, all with
the initial timestamp of the remote peer.

Fix is to really disable timestamps option for the whole session.

7fee226ad2 net: add a noref bit on skb dst
Use low order bit of skb->_skb_dst to tell dst is not refcounted.

Change _skb_dst to _skb_refdst to make sure all uses are catched.

skb_dst() returns the dst, regardless of noref bit set or not, but
with a lockdep check to make sure a noref dst is not given if current
user is not rcu protected.

New skb_dst_set_noref() helper to set an notrefcounted dst on a skb.
(with lockdep check)

skb_dst_drop() drops a reference only if skb dst was refcounted.

skb_dst_force() helper is used to force a refcount on dst, when skb
is queued and not anymore RCU protected.

Use skb_dst_force() in __sk_add_backlog(), __dev_xmit_skb() if
!IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE or skb enqueued on qdisc queue, in
sock_queue_rcv_skb(), in __nf_queue().

Use skb_dst_force() in dev_requeue_skb().

Note: dst_use_noref() still dirties dst, we might transform it
later to do one dirtying per jiffies.

a465419b1f net: Introduce sk_route_nocaps
TCP-MD5 sessions have intermittent failures, when route cache is
invalidated. ip_queue_xmit() has to find a new route, calls
sk_setup_caps(sk, &rt->u.dst), destroying the 

sk->sk_route_caps &= ~NETIF_F_GSO_MASK

that MD5 desperately try to make all over its way (from
tcp_transmit_skb() for example)

So we send few bad packets, and everything is fine when
tcp_transmit_skb() is called again for this socket.

Since ip_queue_xmit() is at a lower level than TCP-MD5, I chose to use a
socket field, sk_route_nocaps, containing bits to mask on sk_route_caps.

bbd725435d IPv4: unresolved multicast route cleanup
Fixes the expiration timer for unresolved multicast route entries.
In case new multicast routing requests come in faster than the 
expiration timeout occurs (e.g. zap through multicast TV streams), the 
timer is prevented from being called at time for already existing entries.

As the single timer is resetted to default whenever a new entry is made, 
the timeout for existing unresolved entires are missed and/or not 
updated. As a consequence new requests are denied when the limit of 
unresolved entries has been reached because old entries live longer than 
they are supposed to.

The solution is to reset the timer only for the first unresolved entry 
in the multicast routing cache. All other timers are already set and 
updated correctly within the timer function itself by now.

3ee943728f ipv4: remove ip_rt_secret timer (v4)
A while back there was a discussion regarding the rt_secret_interval timer.
Given that we've had the ability to do emergency route cache rebuilds for awhile
now, based on a statistical analysis of the various hash chain lengths in the
cache, the use of the flush timer is somewhat redundant.  This patch removes the
rt_secret_interval sysctl, allowing us to rely solely on the statistical
analysis mechanism to determine the need for route cache flushes.

ccc2d97cb7 ipv4: udp: fix short packet and bad checksum logging
commit 2783ef23 moved the initialisation of saddr and daddr after
pskb_may_pull() to avoid a potential data corruption.  Unfortunately
also placing it after the short packet and bad checksum error paths,
where these variables are used for logging.  The result is bogus
output like

[92238.389505] UDP: short packet: From 2.0.0.0:65535 23715/178 to 0.0.0.0:65535

Moving the saddr and daddr initialisation above the error paths, while still
keeping it after the pskb_may_pull() to keep the fix from commit 2783ef23.

f84af32cbc net: ip_queue_rcv_skb() helper
When queueing a skb to socket, we can immediately release its dst if
target socket do not use IP_CMSG_PKTINFO.

tcp_data_queue() can drop dst too.

This to benefit from a hot cache line and avoid the receiver, possibly
on another cpu, to dirty this cache line himself.

4b0b72f7dd net: speedup udp receive path
Since commit 95766fff ([UDP]: Add memory accounting.), 
each received packet needs one extra sock_lock()/sock_release() pair.

This added latency because of possible backlog handling. Then later,
ticket spinlocks added yet another latency source in case of DDOS.

This patch introduces lock_sock_bh() and unlock_sock_bh()
synchronization primitives, avoiding one atomic operation and backlog
processing.

skb_free_datagram_locked() uses them instead of full blown
lock_sock()/release_sock(). skb is orphaned inside locked section for
proper socket memory reclaim, and finally freed outside of it.

UDP receive path now take the socket spinlock only once.

8d238b25b1 Revert "tcp: bind() fix when many ports are bound"
This reverts two commits:

fda48a0d7a
tcp: bind() fix when many ports are bound

and a follow-on fix for it:

6443bb1fc2
ipv6: Fix inet6_csk_bind_conflict()

It causes problems with binding listening sockets when time-wait
sockets from a previous instance still are alive.

It's too late to keep fiddling with this so late in the -rc
series, and we'll deal with it in net-next-2.6 instead.
