commit f3c5c1bfd4 (make ip_tables reentrant) introduced a race in
handling the stackptr restore, at the end of ipt_do_table()
We should do it before the call to xt_info_rdunlock_bh(), or we allow
cpu preemption and another cpu overwrites stackptr of original one.
A second fix is to change the underflow test to check the origptr value
instead of 0 to detect underflow, or else we allow a jump from different
hooks.

ECN support incorrectly maps ECN BESTEFFORT packets to TC_PRIO_FILLER
(1) instead of TC_PRIO_BESTEFFORT (0)
This means ECN enabled flows are placed in pfifo_fast/prio low priority
band, giving ECN enabled flows [ECT(0) and CE codepoints] higher drop
probabilities.
This is rather unfortunate, given we would like ECN being more widely
used.

Since a8f80e8ff9 any process with
CAP_NET_ADMIN may load any module from /lib/modules/. This doesn't mean
that CAP_NET_ADMIN is a superset of CAP_SYS_MODULE as modules are
limited to /lib/modules/**. However, CAP_NET_ADMIN capability shouldn't
allow anybody load any module not related to networking.
This patch restricts an ability of autoloading modules to netdev modules
with explicit aliases. This fixes CVE-2011-1019.
Arnd Bergmann suggested to leave untouched the old pre-v2.6.32 behavior
of loading netdev modules by name (without any prefix) for processes
with CAP_SYS_MODULE to maintain the compatibility with network scripts
that use autoloading netdev modules by aliases like "eth0", "wlan0".

In usual cases ifa_address == ifa_local, but in the case where

Therefore we should use ifa_local when we want the local interface

There were two cases where the selection was done incorrectly:
1) When devinet_ioctl() does matching, it checks ifa_address even
though gifconf correct reported ifa_local to the user
2) IN_DEV_ARP_NOTIFY handling sends a gratuitous ARP using

When doing output route lookups, we have to select the source address
if the user has not specified an explicit one.
First, if the route has an explicit preferred source address
specified, then we use that.
Otherwise we search the route's outgoing interface for a suitable
address.
This search can be precomputed and cached at route insertion time.
The only missing part is that we have to refresh this precomputed
value any time addresses are added or removed from the interface, and
this is accomplished by fib_update_nh_saddrs().

Instead validate it during route insertion, via fib_create_info().

We burn a lot of useless cycles, cpu store buffer traffic, and
memory operations memset()'ing the on-stack flow used to perform
output route lookups in __ip_route_output_key().
Only the first half of the flow object members even matter for
output route lookups in this context, specifically:
FIB rules matching cares about:
dst, src, tos, iif, oif, mark
FIB trie lookup cares about:
dst
FIB semantic match cares about:
tos, scope, oif
Therefore only initialize these specific members and elide the
memset entirely.
On Niagara2 this kills about ~300 cycles from the output route
lookup path.
Likely, we can take things further, since all callers of output
route lookups essentially throw away the on-stack flow they use.
So they don't care if we use it as a scratch-pad to compute the
final flow key.

David noticed :
------------------
Eric, I was profiling the non-routing-cache case and something that
stuck out is the case of calling inet_getpeer() with create==0.
If an entry is not found, we have to redo the lookup under a spinlock
to make certain that a concurrent writer rebalancing the tree does
not "hide" an existing entry from us.
This makes the case of a create==0 lookup for a not-present entry
really expensive. It is on the order of 600 cpu cycles on my
Niagara2.
I added a hack to not do the relookup under the lock when create==0
and it now costs less than 300 cycles.
This is now a pretty common operation with the way we handle COW'd
metrics, so I think it's definitely worth optimizing.
-----------------
One solution is to use a seqlock instead of a spinlock to protect struct
inet_peer_base.
After a failed avl tree lookup, we can easily detect if a writer did
some changes during our lookup. Taking the lock and redo the lookup is
only necessary in this case.
Note: Add one private rcu_deref_locked() macro to place in one spot the
access to spinlock included in seqlock.

The UDP transmit path has been running under the socket lock
for a long time because of the corking feature. This means that
transmitting to the same socket in multiple threads does not
scale at all.
However, as most users don't actually use corking, the locking
can be removed in the common case.
This patch creates a lockless fast path where corking is not used.
Please note that this does create a slight inaccuracy in the
enforcement of socket send buffer limits. In particular, we
may exceed the socket limit by up to (number of CPUs) * (packet
size) because of the way the limit is computed.
As the primary purpose of socket buffers is to indicate congestion,
this should not be a great problem for now.

This patch also adds the helper ip_finish_skb which is meant to
be replace ip_push_pending_frames when corking is required.
Previously the protocol stack would peek at the socket write
queue and add its header to the first packet. With ip_finish_skb,

Rewrite ip_route_newports() such that:
1) The caller passes in the original port values, so we don't need

because we don't create a new cached route.
Instead, once the new neighbour is bound to the cached route,
we emit a neigh update event instead.

The general idea is that if we learn new PMTU information, we
bump the peer genid.
This triggers the dst_ops->check() code to validate and if
necessary propagate the new PMTU value into the metrics.
Learned PMTU information self-expires.
This means that it is not necessary to kill a cached route
entry just because the PMTU information is too old.
As a consequence:
1) When the path appears unreachable (dst_ops->link_failure
or dst_ops->negative_advice) we unwind the PMTU state if
it is out of date, instead of killing the cached route.
A redirected route will still be invalidated in these
situations.
2) rt_check_expire(), rt_worker_func(), et al. are no longer
necessary at all.

NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEER is an explicit request by the driver to send a link
notification while NETDEV_UP/NETDEV_CHANGEADDR generate link
notifications as a sort of side effect.
In the later cases the sysctl option is present because link
notification events can have undesired effects e.g. if the link is
flapping. I don't think this applies in the case of an explicit
request from a driver.
This patch makes NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEER unconditional, if preferred we
could add a new sysctl for this case which defaults to on.
This change causes Xen post-migration ARP notifications (which cause
switches to relearn their MAC tables etc) to be sent by default.

If we didn't have a routing cache, we would not be able to properly
propagate certain kinds of dynamic path attributes, for example
PMTU information and redirects.
The reason is that if we didn't have a routing cache, then there would
be no way to lookup all of the active cached routes hanging off of
sockets, tunnels, IPSEC bundles, etc.
Consider the case where we created a cached route, but no inetpeer
entry existed and also we were not asked to pre-COW the route metrics
and therefore did not force the creation a new inetpeer entry.
If we later get a PMTU message, or a redirect, and store this
information in a new inetpeer entry, there is no way to teach that
cached route about the newly existing inetpeer entry.
The facilities implemented here handle this problem.
First we create a generation ID. When we create a cached route of any
kind, we remember the generation ID at the time of attachment. Any
time we force-create an inetpeer entry in response to new path
information, we bump that generation ID.
The dst_ops->check() callback is where the knowledge of this event
is propagated. If the global generation ID does not equal the one
stored in the cached route, and the cached route has not attached
to an inetpeer yet, we look it up and attach if one is found. Now
that we've updated the cached route's information, we update the
route's generation ID too.
This clears the way for implementing PMTU and redirects directly in
the inetpeer cache. There is absolutely no need to consult cached
route information in order to maintain this information.
At this point nothing bumps the inetpeer genids, that comes in the
later changes which handle PMTUs and redirects using inetpeers.

Validity of the cached PMTU information is indicated by it's
expiration value being non-zero, just as per dst->expires.
The scheme we will use is that we will remember the pre-ICMP value
held in the metrics or route entry, and then at expiration time
we will restore that value.
In this way PMTU expiration does not kill off the cached route as is
done currently.
Redirect information is permanent, or at least until another redirect
is received.
