b7e729c4b4 [ICMP]: Store sock rather than socket for ICMP flow control.
Basically, there is no difference, what to store: socket or sock. Though,
sock looks better as there will be 1 less dereferrence on the fast path.

a5710d6582 [ICMP]: Add return code to icmp_init.
icmp_init could fail and this is normal for namespace other than initial.
So, the panic should be triggered only on init_net initialization path.

Additionally create rollback path for icmp_init as a separate function.
It will also be used later during namespace destruction.

Basically, this piece looks relatively easy. Namespace is already
available on the dst entry via device and the device is safe to

appropriate.

69a73829db [DST]: shrinks sizeof(struct rtable) by 64 bytes on x86_64
On x86_64, sizeof(struct rtable) is 0x148, which is rounded up to
0x180 bytes by SLAB allocator.

We can reduce this to exactly 0x140 bytes, without alignment overhead,
and store 12 struct rtable per PAGE instead of 10.

rate_tokens is currently defined as an "unsigned long", while its
content should not exceed 6*HZ. It can safely be converted to an
unsigned int.

Moving tclassid right after rate_tokens to fill the 4 bytes hole
permits to save 8 bytes on 'struct dst_entry', which finally permits
to save 8 bytes on 'struct rtable'

8b7817f3a9 [IPSEC]: Add ICMP host relookup support
RFC 4301 requires us to relookup ICMP traffic that does not match any
policies using the reverse of its payload.  This patch implements this
for ICMP traffic that originates from or terminates on localhost.

This is activated on outbound with the new policy flag XFRM_POLICY_ICMP,
and on inbound by the new state flag XFRM_STATE_ICMP.

On inbound the policy check is now performed by the ICMP protocol so
that it can repeat the policy check where necessary.

5b4d383a1a [ICMP]: ICMP_MIB_OUTMSGS increment duplicated
Commit "96793b482540f3a26e2188eaf75cb56b7829d3e3" (Add ICMPMsgStats
MIB (RFC 4293)) made a mistake.

In that patch, David L added a icmp_out_count() in
ip_push_pending_frames(), remove icmp_out_count() from
icmp_reply(). But he forgot to remove icmp_out_count() from
icmp_send() too.  Since icmp_send and icmp_reply will call
icmp_push_reply, which will call ip_push_pending_frames, a duplicated
increment happened in icmp_send.

This patch remove the icmp_out_count from icmp_send too.

96793b4825 [IPV4]: Add ICMPMsgStats MIB (RFC 4293)
Background: RFC 4293 deprecates existing individual, named ICMP
type counters to be replaced with the ICMPMsgStatsTable. This table
includes entries for both IPv4 and IPv6, and requires counting of all
ICMP types, whether or not the machine implements the type.

These patches "remove" (but not really) the existing counters, and
replace them with the ICMPMsgStats tables for v4 and v6.
It includes the named counters in the /proc places they were, but gets the
values for them from the new tables. It also counts packets generated
from raw socket output (e.g., OutEchoes, MLD queries, RA's from
radvd, etc).

Changes:
1) create icmpmsg_statistics mib
2) create icmpv6msg_statistics mib
3) modify existing counters to use these
4) modify /proc/net/snmp to add "IcmpMsg" with all ICMP types
        listed by number for easy SNMP parsing
5) modify /proc/net/snmp printing for "Icmp" to get the named data
        from new counters.

881d966b48 [NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace.
This patch makes most of the generic device layer network
namespace safe.  This patch makes dev_base_head a
network namespace variable, and then it picks up
a few associated variables.  The functions:
dev_getbyhwaddr
dev_getfirsthwbytype
dev_get_by_flags
dev_get_by_name
__dev_get_by_name
dev_get_by_index
__dev_get_by_index
dev_ioctl
dev_ethtool
dev_load
wireless_process_ioctl

were modified to take a network namespace argument, and
deal with it.

vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their
hooks will receive a network namespace argument.

So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was
affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle
multiple network namespaces.  The rest of the network stack was
simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network
namespace.  This can be fixed when those components of the network
stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces.

For now the ifindex generator is left global.

Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else
we will have corner case problems with migration when
we get that far.

At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack
that the ifindex of a network device won't change.  Making
the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until
the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when
you change namespaces, and the like.

d8cf27287a [IPV4]: icmp: fix crash with sysctl_icmp_errors_use_inbound_ifaddr
When icmp_send is called on the local output path before the
packet hits ip_output, skb->dev is not set, causing a crash
when sysctl_icmp_errors_use_inbound_ifaddr is set. This can
happen with the netfilter REJECT target or IPsec tunnels.

Let routing decide the ICMP source address in that case, since the
packet is locally generated there is no inbound interface and
the sysctl should not apply.

The option actually seems to be unfixable broken, on the path
after ip_output() skb->dev points to the outgoing device and
we don't know the incoming device anymore, so its going to do
the absolute wrong thing and pick the address of the outgoing
interface. Add a comment about this.

Many calculations that previously required that skb->{transport,network,

cef2685e00 [IPV4]: Aggregate route entries with different TOS values
When we get an ICMP need-to-frag message, the original TOS value in the
ICMP payload cannot be used as a key to look up the routes to update.
This is because the TOS field may have been modified by routers on the
way.  Similarly, ip_rt_redirect should also ignore the TOS as the router
that gave us the message may have modified the TOS value.

The patch achieves this objective by aggregating entries with different
TOS values (but are otherwise identical) into the same bucket.  This
makes it easy to update them at the same time when an ICMP message is
received.

In future we should use a twin-hashing scheme where teh aggregation
occurs at the entry level.  That is, the TOS goes back into the hash
for normal lookups while ICMP lookups will end up with a node that
gives us a list that contains all other route entries that differ
only by TOS.

In a nutshell, goto out and return actually do the same thing,
and both are called in this function. This patch removes out.

14c850212e [INET_SOCK]: Move struct inet_sock & helper functions to net/inet_sock.h
To help in reducing the number of include dependencies, several files were
touched as they were getting needed headers indirectly for stuff they use.

Thanks also to Alan Menegotto for pointing out that net/dccp/proto.c had
linux/dccp.h include twice.

9b5b5cff9a [NET]: Add const markers to various variables.
the patch below marks various variables const in net/; the goal is to
move them to the .rodata section so that they can't false-share
cachelines with things that get written to, as well as potentially
helping gcc a bit with optimisations.  (these were found using a gcc
patch to warn about such variables)

fb286bb299 [NET]: Detect hardware rx checksum faults correctly
Here is the patch that introduces the generic skb_checksum_complete
which also checks for hardware RX checksum faults.  If that happens,
it'll call netdev_rx_csum_fault which currently prints out a stack
trace with the device name.  In future it can turn off RX checksum.

I've converted every spot under net/ that does RX checksum checks to
use skb_checksum_complete or __skb_checksum_complete with the
exceptions of:

* Those places where checksums are done bit by bit.  These will call
netdev_rx_csum_fault directly.

* The following have not been completely checked/converted:

ipmr
ip_vs
netfilter
dccp

This patch is based on patches and suggestions from Stephen Hemminger
and David S. Miller.

670c02c2bf [NET]: Wider use of for_each_*cpu()
In 'net' change the explicit use of for-loops and NR_CPUS into the
general for_each_cpu() or for_each_online_cpu() constructs, as
appropriate.  This widens the scope of potential future optimizations
of the general constructs, as well as takes advantage of the existing
optimizations of first_cpu() and next_cpu(), which is advantageous
when the true CPU count is much smaller than NR_CPUS.

The few people who need this can turn it on.
