The following patch renames __in_dev_get() to __in_dev_get_rtnl() and
introduces __in_dev_get_rcu() to cover the second case.
1) RCU with refcnt should use in_dev_get().
2) RCU without refcnt should use __in_dev_get_rcu().
3) All others must hold RTNL and use __in_dev_get_rtnl().
There is one exception in net/ipv4/route.c which is in fact a pre-existing
race condition. I've marked it as such so that we remember to fix it.
This patch is based on suggestions and prior work by Suzanne Wood and
Paul McKenney.

One such place that can damage the dst refcnts is route.c with
CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH_CACHED enabled, i don't see the user's
.config. In this new code i see that rt_intern_hash is called before
dst->refcnt is set to 1, dst is the 2nd arg to rt_intern_hash.
Arg 2 of rt_intern_hash must come with refcnt 1 as it is added to
table or dropped depending on error/add/update. One such example is
ip_mkroute_input where __mkroute_input return rth with refcnt 0 which
is provided to rt_intern_hash. ip_mkroute_output looks like a 2nd such
place. Appending untested patch for comments and review. The idea is
to put previous reference as we are going to return next result/error.

In some cases, we may be generating packets with a source address that
qualifies as martian. This can happen when we're in the middle of setting
up the network, and netfilter decides to reject a packet with an RST.
The IPv4 routing code would try to print a warning and oops, because
locally generated packets do not have a valid skb->mac.raw pointer
at this point.

- rt_check_expire() fixes (an overflow occured if size of the hash
was >= 65536)
reminder of the bugfix:
The rt_check_expire() has a serious problem on machines with large
route caches, and a standard HZ value of 1000.
With default values, ie ip_rt_gc_interval = 60*HZ = 60000 ;
the loop count :
for (t = ip_rt_gc_interval << rt_hash_log; t >= 0;
overflows (t is a 31 bit value) as soon rt_hash_log is >= 16 (65536
slots in route cache hash table).
In this case, rt_check_expire() does nothing at all

- Locking abstraction
- Spinlocks moved out of rt hash table : Less memory (50%) used by rt
hash table. it's a win even on UP.
- Sizing of spinlocks table depends on NR_CPUS

I followed Thomas' proposal to see every martian destination as a case
where the ipInAddrErrors counter has to be incremented. There are
two advantages by doing so: (1) The relation between the ipInReceive
counter and all the other ipInXXX counters is more accurate in the
case the RTN_UNICAST code check fails and (2) it makes the code in
ip_route_input_slow easier.

This patch rectifies some rtnetlink message builders that derive the
flags from the pid. It is now explicit like the other cases
which get it right. Also fixes half a dozen dumpers which did not
set NLM_F_MULTI at all.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
