080774a243 [NETFILTER]: Add ctnetlink subsystem
Add ctnetlink subsystem for userspace-access to ip_conntrack table.
This allows reading and updating of existing entries, as well as
creating new ones (and new expect's) via nfnetlink.

Please note the 'strange' byte order: nfattr (tag+length) are in host
byte order, while the payload is always guaranteed to be in network
byte order.  This allows a simple userspace process to encapsulate netlink
messages into arch-independent udp packets by just processing/swapping the
headers and not knowing anything about the actual payload.

6f1cf16582 [NET]: Remove HIPPI private from skbuff.h
This removes the private element from skbuff, that is only used by
HIPPI. Instead it uses skb->cb[] to hold the additional data that is
needed in the output path from hard_header to device driver.

PS: The only qdisc that might potentially corrupt this cb[] is if
netem was used over HIPPI. I will take care of that by fixing netem
to use skb->stamp. I don't expect many users of netem over HIPPI

6869c4d8e0 [NETFILTER]: reduce netfilter sk_buff enlargement
As discussed at netconf'05, we're trying to save every bit in sk_buff.
The patch below makes sk_buff 8 bytes smaller.  I did some basic
testing on my notebook and it seems to work.

The only real in-tree user of nfcache was IPVS, who only needs a
single bit.  Unfortunately I couldn't find some other free bit in
sk_buff to stuff that bit into, so I introduced a separate field for
them.  Maybe the IPVS guys can resolve that to further save space.

Initially I wanted to shrink pkt_type to three bits (PACKET_HOST and
alike are only 6 values defined), but unfortunately the bluetooth code
overloads pkt_type :(

The conntrack-event-api (out-of-tree) uses nfcache, but Rusty just
came up with a way how to do it without any skb fields, so it's safe
to remove it.

- remove all never-implemented 'nfcache' code
- don't have ipvs code abuse 'nfcache' field. currently get's their own
  compile-conditional skb->ipvs_property field.  IPVS maintainers can
  decide to move this bit elswhere, but nfcache needs to die.
- remove skb->nfcache field to save 4 bytes
- move skb->nfctinfo into three unused bits to save further 4 bytes

89ebd197eb [TCP]: Unconditionally clear TCP_NAGLE_PUSH in skb_entail().
Intention of this bit is to force pushing of the existing
send queue when TCP_CORK or TCP_NODELAY state changes via
setsockopt().

But it's easy to create a situation where the bit never
clears.  For example, if the send queue starts empty:

1) set TCP_NODELAY
2) clear TCP_NODELAY
3) set TCP_CORK
4) do small write()

The current code will leave TCP_NAGLE_PUSH set after that
sequence.  Unconditionally clearing the bit when new data
is added via skb_entail() solves the problem.

0fbbeb1ba4 [PKT_SCHED]: Fix missing qdisc_destroy() in qdisc_create_dflt()
qdisc_create_dflt() is missing to destroy the newly allocated
default qdisc if the initialization fails resulting in leaks
of all kinds. The only caller in mainline which may trigger
this bug is sch_tbf.c in tbf_create_dflt_qdisc().

Note: qdisc_create_dflt() doesn't fulfill the official locking
      requirements of qdisc_destroy() but since the qdisc could
      never be seen by the outside world this doesn't matter
      and it can stay as-is until the locking of pkt_sched
      is cleaned up.

53b924b31f [NET]: Fix socket bitop damage
The socket flag cleanups that went into 2.6.12-rc1 are basically oring
the flags of an old socket into the socket just being created.
Unfortunately that one was just initialized by sock_init_data(), so already
has SOCK_ZAPPED set.  As the result zapped sockets are created and all
incoming connection will fail due to this bug which again was carefully
replicated to at least AX.25, NET/ROM or ROSE.

In order to keep the abstraction alive I've introduced sock_copy_flags()
to copy the socket flags from one sockets to another and used that
instead of the bitwise copy thing.  Anyway, the idea here has probably
been to copy all flags, so sock_copy_flags() should be the right thing.
With this the ham radio protocols are usable again, so I hope this will
make it into 2.6.13.

1344a41637 [IPV4]: Fix negative timer loop with lots of ipv4 peers.
From: Dave Johnson <djohnson+linux-kernel@sw.starentnetworks.com>

Found this bug while doing some scaling testing that created 500K inet
peers.

peer_check_expire() in net/ipv4/inetpeer.c isn't using inet_peer_gc_mintime
correctly and will end up creating an expire timer with less than the
minimum duration, and even zero/negative if enough active peers are
present.

If >65K peers, the timer will be less than inet_peer_gc_mintime, and with
>70K peers, the timer duration will reach zero and go negative.

The timer handler will continue to schedule another zero/negative timer in
a loop until peers can be aged.  This can continue for at least a few
minutes or even longer if the peers remain active due to arriving packets
while the loop is occurring.

Bug is present in both 2.4 and 2.6.  Same patch will apply to both just
fine.

35d59efd10 [TCP]: Fix bug #5070: kernel BUG at net/ipv4/tcp_output.c:864
1) We send out a normal sized packet with TSO on to start off.
2) ICMP is received indicating a smaller MTU.
3) We send the current sk_send_head which needs to be fragmented
since it was created before the ICMP event.  The first fragment
is then sent out.

At this point the remaining fragment is allocated by tcp_fragment.
However, its size is padded to fit the L1 cache-line size therefore
creating tail-room up to 124 bytes long.

This fragment will also be sitting at sk_send_head.

4) tcp_sendmsg is called again and it stores data in the tail-room of
of the fragment.
5) tcp_push_one is called by tcp_sendmsg which then calls tso_fragment
since the packet as a whole exceeds the MTU.

At this point we have a packet that has data in the head area being
fed to tso_fragment which bombs out.

My take on this is that we shouldn't ever call tcp_fragment on a TSO
socket for a packet that is yet to be transmitted since this creates
a packet on sk_send_head that cannot be extended.

So here is a patch to change it so that tso_fragment is always used
in this case.

2652076507 [NETPOLL]: pre-fill skb pool
we could do one thing (see the patch below): i think it would be useful 
to fill up the netlogging skb queue straight at initialization time.  
Especially if netpoll is used for dumping alone, the system might not be 
in a situation to fill up the queue at the point of crash, so better be 
a bit more prepared and keep the pipeline filled.

[ I've modified this to be called earlier - mpm ]

0db1d6fc1e [NETPOLL]: add retry timeout
Add limited retry logic to netpoll_send_skb

Each time we attempt to send, decrement our per-device retry counter.
On every successful send, we reset the counter. 

We delay 50us between attempts with up to 20000 retries for a total of
1 second. After we've exhausted our retries, subsequent failed
attempts will try only once until reset by success.
