9ae4fda332 mac80211: allows driver to request a Phase 1 RX key
This patch makes mac80211 able to send a phase1 key for TKIP
decryption.
This is needed for drivers that don't do the rekeying by themselves
(i.e. iwlwifi). Upon IV16 wrap around, the packet is decrypted in SW,
if decryption is ok, mac80211 calls to update_tkip_key  with a new
phase 1 RX key.

5d2cdcd4e8 mac80211: get a TKIP phase key from skb
This patch makes mac80211 able to compute a TKIP key from an skb.
The requested key can be a phase 1 or a phase 2 key.
This is useful for drivers who need to provide tkip key to their
HW to enable HW encryption.

2051f11fb8 [TCP]: Shrink syncookie_secret by 8 byte.
the first u32 copied from syncookie_secret is overwritten by the
minute-counter four lines below.  After adjusting the destination
address, the size of syncookie_secret can be reduced accordingly.

AFAICS, the only other user of syncookie_secret[] is the ipv6
syncookie support.  Because ipv6 syncookies only grab 44 bytes from
syncookie_secret[], this shouldn't affect them in any way.

fc8717baa8 [RAW]: Add raw_hashinfo member on struct proto.
Sorry for the patch sequence confusion :| but I found that the similar
thing can be done for raw sockets easily too late.

Expand the proto.h union with the raw_hashinfo member and use it in
raw_prot and rawv6_prot. This allows to drop the protocol specific
versions of hash and unhash callbacks.

6ba5a3c52d [UDP]: Make full use of proto.h.udp_hash innovation.
After this we have only udp_lib_get_port to get the port and two 
stubs for ipv4 and ipv6. No difference in udp and udplite except
for initialized h.udp_hash member.

I tried to find a graceful way to drop the only difference between
udp_v4_get_port and udp_v6_get_port (i.e. the rcv_saddr comparison 
routine), but adding one more callback on the struct proto didn't 
appear such :( Maybe later.

39d8cda76c [SOCK]: Add udp_hash member to struct proto.
Inspired by the commit ab1e0a13 ([SOCK] proto: Add hashinfo member to 
struct proto) from Arnaldo, I made similar thing for UDP/-Lite IPv4 
and -v6 protocols.

The result is not that exciting, but it removes some levels of
indirection in udpxxx_get_port and saves some space in code and text.

The first step is to union existing hashinfo and new udp_hash on the
struct proto and give a name to this union, since future initialization 
of tcpxxx_prot, dccp_vx_protinfo and udpxxx_protinfo will cause gcc 
warning about inability to initialize anonymous member this way.

ec3c0982a2 [TCP]: TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT updates - process as established
Change TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT implementation so that it transitions a
connection to ESTABLISHED after handshake is complete instead of
leaving it in SYN-RECV until some data arrvies. Place connection in
accept queue when first data packet arrives from slow path.

Benefits:
  - established connection is now reset if it never makes it
   to the accept queue

 - diagnostic state of established matches with the packet traces
   showing completed handshake

 - TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT timeouts are expressed in seconds and can now be
   enforced with reasonable accuracy instead of rounding up to next
   exponential back-off of syn-ack retry.

82cc1a7a56 [NET]: Add per-connection option to set max TSO frame size
Update: My mailer ate one of Jarek's feedback mails...  Fixed the
parameter in netif_set_gso_max_size() to be u32, not u16.  Fixed the
whitespace issue due to a patch import botch.  Changed the types from
u32 to unsigned int to be more consistent with other variables in the
area.  Also brought the patch up to the latest net-2.6.26 tree.

Update: Made gso_max_size container 32 bits, not 16.  Moved the
location of gso_max_size within netdev to be less hotpath.  Made more
consistent names between the sock and netdev layers, and added a
define for the max GSO size.

Update: Respun for net-2.6.26 tree.

Update: changed max_gso_frame_size and sk_gso_max_size from signed to
unsigned - thanks Stephen!

This patch adds the ability for device drivers to control the size of
the TSO frames being sent to them, per TCP connection.  By setting the
netdevice's gso_max_size value, the socket layer will set the GSO
frame size based on that value.  This will propogate into the TCP
layer, and send TSO's of that size to the hardware.

This can be desirable to help tune the bursty nature of TSO on a
per-adapter basis, where one may have 1 GbE and 10 GbE devices
coexisting in a system, one running multiqueue and the other not, etc.

This can also be desirable for devices that cannot support full 64 KB
TSO's, but still want to benefit from some level of segmentation
offloading.

270637abff [SCTP]: Fix a race between module load and protosw access
There is a race is SCTP between the loading of the module
and the access by the socket layer to the protocol functions.
In particular, a list of addresss that SCTP maintains is
not initialized prior to the registration with the protosw.
Thus it is possible for a user application to gain access
to SCTP functions before everything has been initialized.
The problem shows up as odd crashes during connection
initializtion when we try to access the SCTP address list.

The solution is to refactor how we do registration and
initialize the lists prior to registering with the protosw.
Care must be taken since the address list initialization
depends on some other pieces of SCTP initialization.  Also
the clean-up in case of failure now also needs to be refactored.

    [IPV6]: Move nfheader_len into rt6_info

    The dst member nfheader_len is only used by IPv6.  It's also currently
    creating a rather ugly alignment hole in struct dst.  Therefore this patch
    moves it from there into struct rt6_info.

Above patch changes the cache line alignment, especially member
__refcnt. I did a testing by adding 2 unsigned long pading before
lastuse, so the 3 members, lastuse/__refcnt/__use, are moved to next
cache line. The performance is recovered.

I created a patch to rearrange the members in struct dst_entry.

With Eric and Valdis Kletnieks's suggestion, I made finer arrangement.

1) Move tclassid under ops in case CONFIG_NET_CLS_ROUTE=y. So
   sizeof(dst_entry)=200 no matter if CONFIG_NET_CLS_ROUTE=y/n. I
   tested many patches on my 16-core tigerton by moving tclassid to
   different place. It looks like tclassid could also have impact on
   performance.  If moving tclassid before metrics, or just don't move
   tclassid, the performance isn't good. So I move it behind metrics.

2) Add comments before __refcnt.

On 16-core tigerton:

If CONFIG_NET_CLS_ROUTE=y, the result with below patch is about 18%
better than the one without the patch;

If CONFIG_NET_CLS_ROUTE=n, the result with below patch is about 30%
better than the one without the patch.

With 32bit 2.6.25-rc1 on 8-core stoakley, the new patch doesn't
introduce regression.

Thank Eric, Valdis, and David!

The patch also addes HT flags, for 802.11n drivers:

- IEEE80211_TXCTL_GREEN_FIELD: use green field protection
- IEEE80211_TXCTL_DUP_DATA: duplicate data on both 20 Mhz channels
- IEEE80211_TXCTL_40_MHZ_WIDTH: send this frame in 40Mhz width
- IEEE80211_TXCTL_SHORT_GI: send this frame with short guard interval

Tx command can be a combination of any of these flags, along with
bitrate represented by ieee80211_rate. this will allow legacy drivers to
switch easily to any 11n rate representation.

e9720acd72 [NET]: Make /proc/net a symlink on /proc/self/net (v3)
Current /proc/net is done with so called "shadows", but current
implementation is broken and has little chances to get fixed.

The problem is that dentries subtree of /proc/net directory has
fancy revalidation rules to make processes living in different
net namespaces see different entries in /proc/net subtree, but
currently, tasks see in the /proc/net subdir the contents of any
other namespace, depending on who opened the file first.

The proposed fix is to turn /proc/net into a symlink, which points
to /proc/self/net, which in turn shows what previously was in
/proc/net - the network-related info, from the net namespace the
appropriate task lives in.

# ls -l /proc/net
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 8 Mar  5 15:17 /proc/net -> self/net

In other words - this behaves like /proc/mounts, but unlike
"mounts", "net" is not a file, but a directory.

Changes from v2:
* Fixed discrepancy of /proc/net nlink count and selinux labeling
  screwup pointed out by Stephen.

  To get the correct nlink count the ->getattr callback for /proc/net
  is overridden to read one from the net->proc_net entry.

  To make selinux still work the net->proc_net entry is initialized
  properly, i.e. with the "net" name and the proc_net parent.

db8dac20d5 [UDP]: Revert udplite and code split.
This reverts commit db1ed684f6 ("[IPV6]
UDP: Rename IPv6 UDP files."), commit
8be8af8fa4 ("[IPV4] UDP: Move
IPv4-specific bits to other file.") and commit
e898d4db27 ("[UDP]: Allow users to
configure UDP-Lite.").

First, udplite is of such small cost, and it is a core protocol just
like TCP and normal UDP are.

We spent enormous amounts of effort to make udplite share as much code
with core UDP as possible.  All of that work is less valuable if we're
just going to slap a config option on udplite support.

It is also causing build failures, as reported on linux-next, showing
that the changeset was not tested very well.  In fact, this is the
second build failure resulting from the udplite change.

Finally, the config options provided was a bool, instead of a modular
option.  Meaning the udplite code does not even get build tested
by allmodconfig builds, and furthermore the user is not presented
with a reasonable modular build option which is particularly needed
by distribution vendors.

ee6b967301 [IPV4]: Add 'rtable' field in struct sk_buff to alias 'dst' and avoid casts
(Anonymous) unions can help us to avoid ugly casts.

A common cast it the (struct rtable *)skb->dst one.

Defining an union like  :
union {
     struct dst_entry *dst;
     struct rtable *rtable;
};
permits to use skb->rtable in place.

4591db4f37 [NETNS][IPV6] route6 - add netns parameter to ip6_route_output
Add an netns parameter to ip6_route_output. That will allow to access
to the right routing table for outgoing traffic.

af2849377e [NETNS][IPV6] addrconf - Pass the proper network namespace parameters to addrconf
This patch propagates the network namespace pointer to the address
configuration routines which need it, which means adding a new
parameter to these functions, and make them use it instead of using
the initial network namespace.

7adc3830f9 [TCP]: Improve ipv4 established hash function.
If all of the entropy is in the local and foreign addresses,
but xor'ing together would cancel out that entropy, the
current hash performs poorly.

Suggested by Cosmin Ratiu:

	Basically, the situation is as follows: There is a client
	machine and a server machine. Both create 15000 virtual
	interfaces, open up a socket for each pair of interfaces and
	do SIP traffic. By profiling I noticed that there is a lot of
	time spent walking the established hash chains with this
	particular setup.

	The addresses were distributed like this: client interfaces
	were 198.18.0.1/16 with increments of 1 and server interfaces
	were 198.18.128.1/16 with increments of 1. As I said, there
	were 15000 interfaces. Source and destination ports were 5060
	for each connection.  So in this case, ports don't matter for
	hashing purposes, and the bits from the address pairs used
	cancel each other, meaning there are no differences in the
	whole lot of pairs, so they all end up in the same hash chain.

6891a346c3 [NETNS][IPV6] route6 - make garbage collection work with multiple network namespaces
This patch makes the necessary changes to make IPv6 dst_entry garbage
collection work with multiple network namespaces.

In ip6_dst_gc(), static local variables are now declared
per-namespace.
