Moves netlink neighbour bits to linux/neighbour.h. Also
moves bits to be exported to userspace from net/neighbour.h
to linux/neighbour.h and removes __KERNEL__ guards, userspace
is not supposed to be using it.
rtnetlink_rcv_msg() is not longer required to parse attributes
for the neighbour layer, remove dependency on obsolete and
buggy rta_buf.

Transforms netlink code to dump link tables to use the new
netlink api. Makes rtnl_getlink() available regardless of the
availability of the wireless extensions.
Adding copy_rtnl_link_stats() avoids the structural dependency
of struct rtnl_link_stats on struct net_device_stats and thus
avoids troubles later on.

Transforms do_setlink() into rtnl_setlink() using the new
netlink api. A warning message printed to the console is
added in the event that a change request fails while part
of the change request has been comitted already. The ioctl()
based nature of net devices makes it almost impossible to
move on to atomic netlink operations without obsoleting

This adds security for IP sockets at the sock level. Security at the
sock level is needed to enforce the SELinux security policy for
security associations even when a sock is orphaned (such as in the TCP
LAST_ACK state).
This will also be used to enforce SELinux controls over data arriving
at or leaving a child socket while it's still waiting to be accepted.

Since __vlan_hwaccel_rx() is essentially bypassing the
netif_receive_skb() call that would have occurred if we did the VLAN
decapsulation in software, we are missing the skb_bond() call and the
assosciated checks it does.
Export those checks via an inline function, skb_bond_should_drop(),

Patch from Dmitry Mishin <dim@openvz.org>:
Replace add_timer() by mod_timer() in dst_run_gc
in order to avoid BUG message.
CPU1 CPU2
dst_run_gc() entered dst_run_gc() entered
spin_lock(&dst_lock) .....
del_timer(&dst_gc_timer) fail to get lock
.... mod_timer() <--- puts
timer back
to the list
add_timer(&dst_gc_timer) <--- BUG because timer is in list already.
Found during OpenVZ internal testing.
At first we thought that it is OpenVZ specific as we
added dst_run_gc(0) call in dst_dev_event(),
but as Alexey pointed to me it is possible to trigger
this condition in mainstream kernel.
F.e. timer has fired on CPU2, but the handler was preeempted
by an irq before dst_lock is tried.
Meanwhile, someone on CPU1 adds an entry to gc list and
starts the timer.
If CPU2 was preempted long enough, this timer can expire
simultaneously with resuming timer handler on CPU1, arriving
exactly to the situation described.

Remove the lock_cpu_hotplug()/unlock_cpu_hotplug() calls from
net_dma_rebalance
The lock_cpu_hotplug()/unlock_cpu_hotplug() sequence in
net_dma_rebalance is both incorrect (as pointed out by David Miller)
because lock_cpu_hotplug() may sleep while the net_dma_event_lock
spinlock is held, and unnecessary (as pointed out by Andrew Morton) as
spin_lock() disables preemption which protects from CPU hotplug
events.

We have a more complete solution in the works, involving
the seperation of CHECKSUM_HW on input vs. output, and
having netfilter properly do incremental checksums.
But that is a very involved patch and is thus 2.6.19
material.
What we have now is infinitely better than the past,
wherein all TSO packets were dropped due to corrupt
checksums as soon at the NAT module was loaded. At
least now, the checksums do get fixed up, it just
isn't the cleanest nor most optimal solution.

When pskb_trim has to defer to ___pksb_trim to trim the frag_list part of
the packet, the frag_list is not updated to reflect the trimming. This
will usually work fine until you hit something that uses the packet length
or tail from the frag_list.
Examples include esp_output and ip_fragment.
Another problem caused by this is that you can end up with a linear packet
with a frag_list attached.
It is possible to get away with this if we audit everything to make sure
that they always consult skb->len before going down onto frag_list. In
fact we can do the samething for the paged part as well to avoid copying
the data area of the skb. For now though, let's do the conservative fix
and update frag_list.
Many thanks to Marco Berizzi for helping me to track down this bug.
This 4-year old bug took 3 months to track down. Marco was very patient
indeed :)

Certain subsystems in the stack (e.g., netfilter) can break the partial
checksum on GSO packets. Until they're fixed, this patch allows this to
work by recomputing the partial checksums through the GSO mechanism.
Once they've all been converted to update the partial checksum instead of
clearing it, this workaround can be removed.

Teach sk_lock semantics to the lock validator. In the softirq path the
slock has mutex_trylock()+mutex_unlock() semantics, in the process context
sock_lock() case it has mutex_lock()/mutex_unlock() semantics.
Thus we treat sock_owned_by_user() flagged areas as an exclusion area too,
not just those areas covered by a held sk_lock.slock.
Effect on non-lockdep kernels: minimal, sk_lock_sock_init() has been turned
into an inline function.

This patch implements an API whereby an application can determine the
label of its peer's Unix datagram sockets via the auxiliary data mechanism of
recvmsg.
Patch purpose:
This patch enables a security-aware application to retrieve the
security context of the peer of a Unix datagram socket. The application
can then use this security context to determine the security context for
processing on behalf of the peer who sent the packet.
Patch design and implementation:
The design and implementation is very similar to the UDP case for INET
sockets. Basically we build upon the existing Unix domain socket API for
retrieving user credentials. Linux offers the API for obtaining user
credentials via ancillary messages (i.e., out of band/control messages
that are bundled together with a normal message). To retrieve the security
context, the application first indicates to the kernel such desire by
setting the SO_PASSSEC option via getsockopt. Then the application
retrieves the security context using the auxiliary data mechanism.
An example server application for Unix datagram socket should look like this:
toggle = 1;
toggle_len = sizeof(toggle);
setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_PASSSEC, &toggle, &toggle_len);
recvmsg(sockfd, &msg_hdr, 0);
if (msg_hdr.msg_controllen > sizeof(struct cmsghdr)) {
cmsg_hdr = CMSG_FIRSTHDR(&msg_hdr);
if (cmsg_hdr->cmsg_len <= CMSG_LEN(sizeof(scontext)) &&
cmsg_hdr->cmsg_level == SOL_SOCKET &&
cmsg_hdr->cmsg_type == SCM_SECURITY) {
memcpy(&scontext, CMSG_DATA(cmsg_hdr), sizeof(scontext));
}
}
sock_setsockopt is enhanced with a new socket option SOCK_PASSSEC to allow
a server socket to receive security context of the peer.
Testing:
We have tested the patch by setting up Unix datagram client and server
applications. We verified that the server can retrieve the security context
using the auxiliary data mechanism of recvmsg.

This patch encapsulates the usage of eff_cap (in netlink_skb_params) within
the security framework by extending security_netlink_recv to include a required
capability parameter and converting all direct usage of eff_caps outside
of the lsm modules to use the interface. It also updates the SELinux
implementation of the security_netlink_send and security_netlink_recv
hooks to take advantage of the sid in the netlink_skb_params struct.
This also enables SELinux to perform auditing of netlink capability checks.

When GSO packets come from an untrusted source (e.g., a Xen guest domain),
we need to verify the header integrity before passing it to the hardware.
Since the first step in GSO is to verify the header, we can reuse that
code by adding a new bit to gso_type: SKB_GSO_DODGY. Packets with this
bit set can only be fed directly to devices with the corresponding bit
NETIF_F_GSO_ROBUST. If the device doesn't have that bit, then the skb
is fed to the GSO engine which will allow the packet to be sent to the
hardware if it passes the header check.
This patch changes the sg flag to a full features flag. The same method
can be used to implement TSO ECN support. We simply have to mark packets
with CWR set with SKB_GSO_ECN so that only hardware with a corresponding
NETIF_F_TSO_ECN can accept them. The GSO engine can either fully segment
the packet, or segment the first MTU and pass the rest to the hardware for
further segmentation.

The netpoll system currently has a rx to tx path via:
netpoll_rx
__netpoll_rx
arp_reply
netpoll_send_skb
dev->hard_start_tx
This rx->tx loop places network drivers at risk of inadvertently causing a
deadlock or BUG halt by recursively trying to acquire a spinlock that is
used in both their rx and tx paths (this problem was origionally reported
to me in the 3c59x driver, which shares a spinlock between the
boomerang_interrupt and boomerang_start_xmit routines).
This patch breaks this loop, by queueing arp frames, so that they can be
responded to after all receive operations have been completed. Tested by
myself and the reported with successful results.
Specifically it was tested with netdump. Heres the BZ with details:

skb_find_text takes a "to" argument which is supposed to limit how
far into the skb it will search for the given text. At present,
it seems to ignore that argument on the first skb, and instead
return a match even if the text occurs beyond the limit.
Patch below fixes this, after adjusting for the "from" starting
point. This consequently fixes the netfilter string match's "--to"
handling, which currently is broken.
