7df551254a [TCP]: Fix sysctl_tcp_low_latency
When enabled, this should disable UCOPY prequeue'ing altogether,
but it does not due to a missing test.

f7d7fc0322 [IPV4]: [4/4] signed vs unsigned cleanup in net/ipv4/raw.c
This patch changes the type of the third parameter 'length' of the 
raw_send_hdrinc() function from 'int' to 'size_t'.
This makes sense since this function is only ever called from one 
location, and the value passed as the third parameter in that location is 
itself of type size_t, so this makes the recieving functions parameter 
type match. Also, inside raw_send_hdrinc() the 'length' variable is 
used in comparisons with unsigned values and passed as parameter to 
functions expecting unsigned values (it's used in a single comparison with 
a signed value, but that one can never actually be negative so the patch 
also casts that one to size_t to stop gcc worrying, and it is passed in a 
single instance to memcpy_fromiovecend() which expects a signed int, but 
as far as I can see that's not a problem since the value of 'length' 
shouldn't ever exceed the value of a signed int).

93765d8a43 [IPV4]: [3/4] signed vs unsigned cleanup in net/ipv4/raw.c
This patch changes the type of the local variable 'i' in 
raw_probe_proto_opt() from 'int' to 'unsigned int'. The only use of 'i' in 
this function is as a counter in a for() loop and subsequent index into 
the msg->msg_iov[] array.
Since 'i' is compared in a loop to the unsigned variable msg->msg_iovlen 
gcc -W generates this warning : 

net/ipv4/raw.c:340: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned

Changing 'i' to unsigned silences this warning and is safe since the array 
index can never be negative anyway, so unsigned int is the logical type to 
use for 'i' and also enables a larger msg_iov[] array (but I don't know if 
that will ever matter).

926d4b8122 [IPV4]: [2/4] signed vs unsigned cleanup in net/ipv4/raw.c
This patch gets rid of the following gcc -W warning in net/ipv4/raw.c :

net/ipv4/raw.c:387: warning: comparison of unsigned expression < 0 is always false

Since 'len' is of type size_t it is unsigned and can thus never be <0, and 
since this is obvious from the function declaration just a few lines above 
I think it's ok to remove the pointless check for len<0.

5418c6926f [IPV4]: [1/4] signed vs unsigned cleanup in net/ipv4/raw.c
This patch silences these two gcc -W warnings in net/ipv4/raw.c :

net/ipv4/raw.c:517: warning: signed and unsigned type in conditional expression
net/ipv4/raw.c:613: warning: signed and unsigned type in conditional expression

It doesn't change the behaviour of the code, simply writes the conditional 
expression with plain 'if()' syntax instead of '? :' , but since this 
breaks it into sepperate statements gcc no longer complains about having 
both a signed and unsigned value in the same conditional expression.

1e061ab2e5 [SCTP]: Replace spin_lock_irqsave with spin_lock_bh
This patch replaces the spin_lock_irqsave call on the receive queue
lock in SCTP with spin_lock_bh.  Despite the proliferation of
spin_lock_irqsave calls in this stack, it is only entered from the
IPv4/IPv6 stack and user space.  That is, it is never entered from
hardirq context.

The call in question is only called from recvmsg which means that
IRQs aren't disabled.  Therefore it is safe to replace it with
spin_lock_bh.

c7fb64db00 [NETLINK]: Neighbour table configuration and statistics via rtnetlink
To retrieve the neighbour tables send RTM_GETNEIGHTBL with the
NLM_F_DUMP flag set. Every neighbour table configuration is
spread over multiple messages to avoid running into message
size limits on systems with many interfaces. The first message
in the sequence transports all not device specific data such as
statistics, configuration, and the default parameter set.
This message is followed by 0..n messages carrying device
specific parameter sets.

Although the ordering should be sufficient, NDTA_NAME can be
used to identify sequences. The initial message can be identified
by checking for NDTA_CONFIG. The device specific messages do
not contain this TLV but have NDTPA_IFINDEX set to the
corresponding interface index.

To change neighbour table attributes, send RTM_SETNEIGHTBL
with NDTA_NAME set. Changeable attribute include NDTA_THRESH[1-3],
NDTA_GC_INTERVAL, and all TLVs in NDTA_PARMS unless marked
otherwise. Device specific parameter sets can be changed by
setting NDTPA_IFINDEX to the interface index of the corresponding
device.

2e6599cb89 [NET] Generalise TCP's struct open_request minisock infrastructure
Kept this first changeset minimal, without changing existing names to
ease peer review.

Basicaly tcp_openreq_alloc now receives the or_calltable, that in turn
has two new members:

->slab, that replaces tcp_openreq_cachep
->obj_size, to inform the size of the openreq descendant for
  a specific protocol

The protocol specific fields in struct open_request were moved to a
class hierarchy, with the things that are common to all connection
oriented PF_INET protocols in struct inet_request_sock, the TCP ones
in tcp_request_sock, that is an inet_request_sock, that is an
open_request.

I.e. this uses the same approach used for the struct sock class
hierarchy, with sk_prot indicating if the protocol wants to use the
open_request infrastructure by filling in sk_prot->rsk_prot with an
or_calltable.

Results? Performance is improved and TCP v4 now uses only 64 bytes per
open request minisock, down from 96 without this patch :-)

Next changeset will rename some of the structs, fields and functions
mentioned above, struct or_calltable is way unclear, better name it
struct request_sock_ops, s/struct open_request/struct request_sock/g,
etc.

This introduces a leak when xfrm_state_add()/xfrm_state_update()
fail. We hold two references (one from xfrm_state_alloc(), one
from xfrm_state_hold()), but only drop one. We need to take the
reference because the reference from xfrm_state_alloc() can
be dropped by __xfrm_state_delete(), so the fix is to drop both
references on error. Same problem in xfrm_user.c.

4666faab09 [IPSEC] Kill spurious hard expire messages
This patch ensures that the hard state/policy expire notifications are
only sent when the state/policy is successfully removed from their
respective tables.

As it is, it's possible for a state/policy to both expire through
reaching a hard limit, as well as being deleted by the user.

Note that this behaviour isn't actually forbidden by RFC 2367.
However, it is a quality of implementation issue.

As an added bonus, the restructuring in this patch will help
eventually in moving the expire notifications from softirq
context into process context, thus improving their reliability.

One important side-effect from this change is that SAs reaching
their hard byte/packet limits are now deleted immediately, just
like SAs that have reached their hard time limits.

Previously they were announced immediately but only deleted after
30 seconds.

This is bad because it prevents the system from issuing an ACQUIRE
command until the existing state was deleted by the user or expires
after the time is up.

In the scenario where the expire notification was lost this introduces
a 30 second delay into the system for no good reason.

1c2fb7f93c [IPV4]: Sysctl configurable icmp error source address.
This patch alows you to change the source address of icmp error
messages. It applies cleanly to 2.6.11.11 and retains the default
behaviour.

In the old (default) behaviour icmp error messages are sent with the ip
of the exiting interface.

The new behaviour (when the sysctl variable is toggled on), it will send
the message with the ip of the interface that received the packet that
caused the icmp error. This is the behaviour network administrators will
expect from a router. It makes debugging complicated network layouts
much easier. Also, all 'vendor routers' I know of have the later
behaviour.

77bd91967a [IPv6] Don't generate temporary for TUN devices
Userland layer-2 tunneling devices allocated through the TUNTAP driver 
(drivers/net/tun.c) have a type of ARPHRD_NONE, and have no link-layer 
address. The kernel complains at regular interval when IPv6 Privacy 
extension are enabled because it can't find an hardware address :

Dec 29 11:02:04 auguste kernel: __ipv6_regen_rndid(idev=cb3e0c00): 
cannot get EUI64 identifier; use random bytes.

IPv6 Privacy extensions should probably be disabled on that sort of 
device. They won't work anyway. If userland wants a more usual 
Ethernet-ish interface with usual IPv6 autoconfiguration, it will use a 
TAP device with an emulated link-layer  and a random hardware address 
rather than a TUN device.

As far as I could fine, TUN virtual device from TUNTAP is the very only 
sort of device using ARPHRD_NONE as kernel device type.
