Add inline for common usage of hardware header creation, and
fix bug in IPV6 mcast where the assumption about negative return is
an errno. Negative return from hard_header means not enough space
was available,(ie -N bytes).Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger

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_ioctlwere 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.Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman

Every user of the network device notifiers is either a protocol
stack or a pseudo device. If a protocol stack that does not have
support for multiple network namespaces receives an event for a
device that is not in the initial network namespace it quite possibly
can get confused and do the wrong thing.To avoid problems until all of the protocol stacks are converted
this patch modifies all netdev event handlers to ignore events on
devices that are not in the initial network namespace.As the rest of the code is made network namespace aware these
checks can be removed.Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman

This patch modifies every packet receive function
registered with dev_add_pack() to drop packets if they
are not from the initial network namespace.This should ensure that the various network stacks do
not receive packets in a anything but the initial network
namespace until the code has been converted and is ready
for them.Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman

This patch passes in the namespace a new socket should be created in
and has the socket code do the appropriate reference counting. By
virtue of this all socket create methods are touched. In addition
the socket create methods are modified so that they will fail if
you attempt to create a socket in a non-default network namespace.Failing if we attempt to create a socket outside of the default
network namespace ensures that as we incrementally make the network stack
network namespace aware we will not export functionality that someone
has not audited and made certain is network namespace safe.
Allowing us to partially enable network namespaces before all of the
exotic protocols are supported.Any protocol layers I have missed will fail to compile because I now
pass an extra parameter into the socket creation code.[ Integrated AF_IUCV build fixes from Andrew Morton... -DaveM ]

if printbuf allocation or tipc_node_attach_link() fails, invalid
references to the link are left in the associated node and bearer

Fix by allocating printbuf early and moving timer initialization

tipc_node_attach_link() succeeded.Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal

Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's
c59def9f222d44bb7e2f0a559f2906191a0862d7 change. They've been
BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them
either.This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create()
completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were
about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves,
or the documentation references).Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt

This patch enhances TIPC's stream socket send routine so that
it avoids transmitting data in chunks that require fragmentation
and reassembly, thereby improving performance at both the
sending and receiving ends of the connection.The "maximum packet size" hint that records MTU info allows
the socket to decide how big a chunk it should send; in the
event that the hint has become stale, fragmentation may still
occur, but the data will be passed correctly and the hint will
be updated in time for the following send. Note: The 66060 byte
pseudo-MTU used for intra-node connections requires the send
routine to perform an additional check to ensure it does not
exceed TIPC"s limit of 66000 bytes of user data per chunk.Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens

This patch simplifies TIPC's Ethernet receive routine to take
advantage of information already present in each incoming sk_buff
indicating whether the packet was explicitly sent to the interface,
has been broadcast to all interfaces, or was picked up because the
interface is in promiscous mode.This new approach also fixes the problem of TIPC accepting unwanted
traffic through UML's multicast-based Ethernet interfaces (which
deliver traffic in a promiscuous manner even if the interface is
not configured to be promiscuous).Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens

The tipc netlink config handler uses the nlmsg_pid from the
request header as destination for its reply. If the application
initialized nlmsg_pid to 0, the reply is looped back to the kernel,
causing hangup. Fix: use nlmsg_pid of the skb that triggered the
request.Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal

Cleanup of dev_base list use, with the aim to simplify making device
list per-namespace. In almost every occasion, use of dev_base variable
and dev->next pointer could be easily replaced by for_each_netdev

first_netdev()/next_netdev().Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelianov

This patch makes two enhancements to msg_set_bits():
1) It now ignores any bits of the new field value that are not
covered by the mask being used. (Previously, if the new value
exceeded the size of the mask the extra bits could corrupt
other fields in the message header word being updated.)2) The code has been optimized to minimize the number of run-time
endianness conversion operations by leveraging the fact that the
mask (and, in some cases, the value as well) is constant and the
necessary conversion can be performed by the compiler.Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens

Signed-off-by: David S. Miller -
So that it is also an offset from skb->head, reduces its size from 8 to 4 bytes
on 64bit architectures, allowing us to combine the 4 bytes hole left by the
layer headers conversion, reducing struct sk_buff size to 256 bytes, i.e. 4
64byte cachelines, and since the sk_buff slab cache is SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN...
:-)Many calculations that previously required that skb->{transport,network,
mac}_header be first converted to a pointer now can be done directly, being
meaningful as offsets or pointers.Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller -
For the common, open coded 'skb->nh.raw = skb->data' operation, so that we can
later turn skb->nh.raw into a offset, reducing the size of struct sk_buff in
64bit land while possibly keeping it as a pointer on 32bit.This one touches just the most simple case, next will handle the slightly more
"complex" cases.Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller -
For the places where we need a pointer to the mac header, it is still legal to
touch skb->mac.raw directly if just adding to, subtracting from or setting it
to another layer header.This one also converts some more cases to skb_reset_mac_header() that my
regex missed as it had no spaces before nor after '=', ugh.Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perl -pi -e "s/ ?= ?\([^\)]*\) *(k[cmz]alloc) *\(/ = \1\(/" $f

to non-pointers.And then drop a few hunks which conflicted with outstanding work.
