The pid namespace patches changed the semantics of
find_task_by_pid without breaking the compile resulting
in get_net_ns_by_pid doing the wrong thing.
So switch to using the intended find_task_by_vpid.
Combined with Denis' earlier patch to make netlink traffic
fully synchronous the inadvertent race I introduced with
accessing current is actually removed.

It is not safe to to place struct pernet_operations in a special section.
We need struct pernet_operations to last until we call unregister_pernet_subsys.
Which doesn't happen until module unload.
So marking struct pernet_operations is a disaster for modules in two ways.
- We discard it before we call the exit method it points to.
- Because I keep struct pernet_operations on a linked list discarding
it for compiled in code removes elements in the middle of a linked
list and does horrible things for linked insert.
So this looks safe assuming __exit_refok is not discarded
for modules.

The task_struct->pid member is going to be deprecated, so start

The first thing to start with is the pid, printed to dmesg - in
this case we may safely use task_pid_nr(). Besides, printks produce
more (much more) than a half of all the explicit pid usage.

This is the largest patch in the set. Make all (I hope) the places where
the pid is shown to or get from user operate on the virtual pids.
The idea is:
- all in-kernel data structures must store either struct pid itself
or the pid's global nr, obtained with pid_nr() call;
- when seeking the task from kernel code with the stored id one
should use find_task_by_pid() call that works with global pids;
- when showing pid's numerical value to the user the virtual one
should be used, but however when one shows task's pid outside this
task's namespace the global one is to be used;
- when getting the pid from userspace one need to consider this as
the virtual one and use appropriate task/pid-searching functions.

When someone wants to deal with some other taks's namespaces it has to lock
the task and then to get the desired namespace if the one exists. This is
slow on read-only paths and may be impossible in some cases.
E.g. Oleg recently noticed a race between unshare() and the (sent for
review in cgroups) pid namespaces - when the task notifies the parent it
has to know the parent's namespace, but taking the task_lock() is
impossible there - the code is under write locked tasklist lock.
On the other hand switching the namespace on task (daemonize) and releasing
the namespace (after the last task exit) is rather rare operation and we
can sacrifice its speed to solve the issues above.
The access to other task namespaces is proposed to be performed
like this:
rcu_read_lock();
nsproxy = task_nsproxy(tsk);
if (nsproxy != NULL) {
/ *
* work with the namespaces here
* e.g. get the reference on one of them
* /
} / *
* NULL task_nsproxy() means that this task is
* almost dead (zombie)
* /
rcu_read_unlock();
This patch has passed the review by Eric and Oleg :) and,
of course, tested.

This patch adds a new field to xfrm states called inner_mode. The existing
mode object is renamed to outer_mode.
This is the first part of an attempt to fix inter-family transforms. As it
is we always use the outer family when determining which mode to use. As a
result we may end up shoving IPv4 packets into netfilter6 and vice versa.
What we really want is to use the inner family for the first part of outbound
processing and the outer family for the second part. For inbound processing
we'd use the opposite pairing.
I've also added a check to prevent silly combinations such as transport mode
with inter-family transforms.

TCP packets all have writable heads, that is, even though it's cloned, it is
writable up to the end of the TCP header. This patch makes skb_checksum_help
aware of this fact by using skb_clone_writable and avoiding a copy for TCP.
I've also modified the BUG_ON tests to be unsigned. The only case where this
makes a difference is if csum_start points to a location before skb->data.
Since skb->data should always include the header where the checksum field

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.

There is no need to process outstanding netlink user->kernel packets
during rtnl_unlock now. There is no rtnl_trylock in the rtnetlink_rcv
anymore.
Normal code path is the following:
netlink_sendmsg
netlink_unicast
netlink_sendskb
skb_queue_tail
netlink_data_ready
rtnetlink_rcv
mutex_lock(&rtnl_mutex);
netlink_run_queue(sk, qlen, &rtnetlink_rcv_msg);
mutex_unlock(&rtnl_mutex);
So, it is possible, that packets can be present in the rtnl->sk_receive_queue
during rtnl_unlock, but there is no need to process them at that moment as
rtnetlink_rcv for that packet is pending.

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 always bugged me: dev_ioctl() called dev_ifsioc() either inside
read_lock(dev_base_lock) or rtnl_lock(), depending on the ioctl being
executed.
This change moves the ioctls executed inside dev_base_lock to a new
function, dev_ifsioc_locked(). Now the locking context is completely
clear to the reader.

Fix a bunch of sparse warnings. Mostly about 0 used as
NULL pointer, and shadowed variable declarations.
One notable case was that hash size should have been unsigned.

Denis V. Lunev <den@sw.ru> noticed that the locking rules
for the network namespace list are over complicated and broken.
In particular the current register_netdev_notifier currently
does not take any lock making the for_each_net iteration racy
with network namespace creation and destruction. Oops.
The fact that we need to use for_each_net in rtnl_unlock() when
the rtnetlink support becomes per network namespace makes designing
the proper locking tricky. In addition we need to be able to call
rtnl_lock() and rtnl_unlock() when we have the net_mutex held.
After thinking about it and looking at the alternatives carefully
it looks like the simplest and most maintainable solution is
to remove net_list_mutex altogether, and to use the rtnl_mutex instead.

Since hardware header operations are part of the protocol class
not the device instance, make them into a separate object and

Add inline for common usage of hardware header creation, and
fix bug in IPV6 mcast where the assumption about negative return is
an errno. Negative return from hard_header means not enough space
was available,(ie -N bytes).

This patch makes loopback_dev per network namespace. Adding
code to create a different loopback device for each network
namespace and adding the code to free a loopback device
when a network namespace exits.
This patch modifies all users the loopback_dev so they
access it as init_net.loopback_dev, keeping all of the
code compiling and working. A later pass will be needed to
update the users to use something other than the initial network
namespace.
