4f72427998 IPv6: set RTPROT_KERNEL to initial route
The use of unspecified protocol in IPv6 initial route prevents quagga to
install IPv6 default route:
# show ipv6 route
S   ::/0 [1/0] via fe80::1, eth1_0
K>* ::/0 is directly connected, lo, rej
C>* ::1/128 is directly connected, lo
C>* fe80::/64 is directly connected, eth1_0

# ip -6 route
fe80::/64 dev eth1_0  proto kernel  metric 256  mtu 1500 advmss 1440
hoplimit -1
ff00::/8 dev eth1_0  metric 256  mtu 1500 advmss 1440 hoplimit -1
unreachable default dev lo  proto none  metric -1  error -101 hoplimit 255

The attached patch ensures RTPROT_KERNEL to the default initial route
and fixes the problem for quagga.
This is similar to "ipv6: protocol for address routes"
f410a1fba7.

# show ipv6 route
S>* ::/0 [1/0] via fe80::1, eth1_0

942e4a2bd6 netfilter: revised locking for x_tables
The x_tables are organized with a table structure and a per-cpu copies
of the counters and rules. On older kernels there was a reader/writer 
lock per table which was a performance bottleneck. In 2.6.30-rc, this
was converted to use RCU and the counters/rules which solved the performance
problems for do_table but made replacing rules much slower because of
the necessary RCU grace period.

This version uses a per-cpu set of spinlocks and counters to allow to
table processing to proceed without the cache thrashing of a global
reader lock and keeps the same performance for table updates.

After switch (rthdr->type) {...},the check below is completely useless.Because:

d1d88e5de4 xfrm: fix fragmentation on inter family tunnels
If an ipv4 packet (not locally generated with IP_DF flag not set) bigger
than mtu size is supposed to go via a xfrm ipv6 tunnel, the packetsize
check in xfrm4_tunnel_check_size() is omited and ipv6 drops the packet
without sending a notice to the original sender of the ipv4 packet.

Another issue is that ipv4 connection tracking does reassembling of
incomming fragmented packets. If such a reassembled packet is supposed to
go via a xfrm ipv6 tunnel it will be droped, even if the original sender
did proper fragmentation.

According to RFC 2473 (section 7) tunnel ipv6 packets resulting from the
encapsulation of an original packet are considered as locally generated
packets. If such a packet passed the checks in xfrm{4,6}_tunnel_check_size()
fragmentation is allowed according to RFC 2473 (section 7.1/7.2).

This patch sets skb->local_df in xfrm6_prepare_output() to achieve
fragmentation in this case.

71f6f6dfdf ipv6: Plug sk_buff leak in ipv6_rcv (net/ipv6/ip6_input.c)
Commit 778d80be52
(ipv6: Add disable_ipv6 sysctl to disable IPv6 operaion on specific interface)
seems to have introduced a leak of sk_buff's for ipv6 traffic,
at least in some configurations where idev is NULL, or when ipv6
is disabled via sysctl.

The problem is that if the first condition of the if-statement
returns non-NULL, it returns an skb with only one reference,
and when the other conditions apply, execution jumps to the "out"
label, which does not call kfree_skb for it.

To plug this leak, change to use the "drop" label instead.
(this relies on it being ok to call kfree_skb on NULL)
This also allows us to avoid calling rcu_read_unlock here,
and removes the only user of the "out" label.

1f9352ae22 netfilter: {ip,ip6,arp}_tables: fix incorrect loop detection
Commit e1b4b9f ([NETFILTER]: {ip,ip6,arp}_tables: fix exponential worst-case
search for loops) introduced a regression in the loop detection algorithm,
causing sporadic incorrectly detected loops.

When a chain has already been visited during the check, it is treated as
having a standard target containing a RETURN verdict directly at the
beginning in order to not check it again. The real target of the first
rule is then incorrectly treated as STANDARD target and checked not to
contain invalid verdicts.

Fix by making sure the rule does actually contain a standard target.

0f8d3c7ac3 ipv6: Allow ipv4 wildcard binds after ipv6 address binds
The IPv4 wildcard (0.0.0.0) address does not intersect
in any way with explicit IPv6 addresses.  These two should
be permitted, but the IPv4 conflict code checks the ipv6only
bit as part of the test.  Since binding to an explicit IPv6
address restricts the socket to only that IPv6 address, the
side-effect is that the socket behaves as v6-only.  By
explicitely setting ipv6only in this case, allows the 2 binds
to succeed.

immediately fail DAD, we simply don't allow the address to be

ca735b3aaa netfilter: use a linked list of loggers
This patch modifies nf_log to use a linked list of loggers for each
protocol. This list of loggers is read and write protected with a
mutex.

This patch separates registration and binding. To be used as
logging module, a module has to register calling nf_log_register()
and to bind to a protocol it has to call nf_log_bind_pf().
This patch also converts the logging modules to the new API. For nfnetlink_log,
it simply switchs call to register functions to call to bind function and
adds a call to nf_log_register() during init. For other modules, it just
remove a const flag from the logger structure and replace it with a
__read_mostly.

176c39af29 netns: fix addrconf_ifdown kernel panic
When a network namespace is destroyed the network interfaces are
all unregistered, making addrconf_ifdown called by the netdevice
notifier. 
In the other hand, the addrconf exit method does a loop on the network
devices and does addrconf_ifdown on each of them. But the ordering of 
the netns subsystem is not right because it uses the register_pernet_device
instead of register_pernet_subsys. If we handle the loopback as
any network device, we can safely use register_pernet_subsys.

But if we use register_pernet_subsys, the addrconf exit method will do
exactly what was already done with the unregistering of the network
devices. So in definitive, this code is pointless.

I removed the netns addrconf exit method and moved the code to the
addrconf cleanup function.

3f53a38131 ipv6: don't use tw net when accounting for recycled tw
We already have a valid net in that place, but this is not just a
cleanup - the tw pointer can be NULL there sometimes, thus causing
an oops in NET_NS=y case.

The same place in ipv4 code already works correctly using existing 
net, rather than tw's one.

The bug exists since 2.6.27.

1ce85fe402 netlink: change nlmsg_notify() return value logic
This patch changes the return value of nlmsg_notify() as follows:

If NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR is set by any of the listeners and
an error in the delivery happened, return the broadcast error;
else if there are no listeners apart from the socket that
requested a change with the echo flag, return the result of the
unicast notification. Thus, with this patch, the unicast
notification is handled in the same way of a broadcast listener
that has set the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket flag.

This patch is useful in case that the caller of nlmsg_notify()
wants to know the result of the delivery of a netlink notification
(including the broadcast delivery) and take any action in case
that the delivery failed. For example, ctnetlink can drop packets
if the event delivery failed to provide reliable logging and
state-synchronization at the cost of dropping packets.

This patch also modifies the rtnetlink code to ignore the return
value of rtnl_notify() in all callers. The function rtnl_notify()
(before this patch) returned the error of the unicast notification
which makes rtnl_set_sk_err() reports errors to all listeners. This
is not of any help since the origin of the change (the socket that
requested the echoing) notices the ENOBUFS error if the notification
fails and should resync itself.

784544739a netfilter: iptables: lock free counters
The reader/writer lock in ip_tables is acquired in the critical path of
processing packets and is one of the reasons just loading iptables can cause
a 20% performance loss. The rwlock serves two functions:

1) it prevents changes to table state (xt_replace) while table is in use.
   This is now handled by doing rcu on the xt_table. When table is
   replaced, the new table(s) are put in and the old one table(s) are freed
   after RCU period.

2) it provides synchronization when accesing the counter values.
   This is now handled by swapping in new table_info entries for each cpu
   then summing the old values, and putting the result back onto one
   cpu.  On a busy system it may cause sampling to occur at different
   times on each cpu, but no packet/byte counts are lost in the process.
