There are some bugs in the current implementation of the SIOCSIWAP wext,
for example that when you do it twice and it fails, it may still try
another access point for some reason. This patch fixes this by introducing
a new flag that tells the association code that the bssid that is in use
was fixed by the user and shouldn't be deviated from.

Add some sanity checking. truesize should be at least sizeof(struct
sk_buff) plus the current packet length. If not, then truesize is

This patch removes the decap_state argument from the xfrm input hook.
Previously this function allowed the input hook to share state with
the post_input hook. The latter has since been removed.
The only purpose for it now is to check the encap type. However, it
is easier and better to move the encap type check to the generic
xfrm_rcv function. This allows us to get rid of the decap state
argument altogether.

Basically this patch moves the generic tunnel protocol stuff out of
xfrm4_tunnel/xfrm6_tunnel and moves it into the new files of tunnel4.c
and tunnel6 respectively.
The reason for this is that the problem that Hugo uncovered is only
the tip of the iceberg. The real problem is that when we removed the
dependency of ipip on xfrm4_tunnel we didn't really consider the module
case at all.
For instance, as it is it's possible to build both ipip and xfrm4_tunnel
as modules and if the latter is loaded then ipip simply won't load.
After considering the alternatives I've decided that the best way out of
this is to restore the dependency of ipip on the non-xfrm-specific part
of xfrm4_tunnel. This is acceptable IMHO because the intention of the
removal was really to be able to use ipip without the xfrm subsystem.
This is still preserved by this patch.
So now both ipip/xfrm4_tunnel depend on the new tunnel4.c which handles
the arbitration between the two. The order of processing is determined
by a simple integer which ensures that ipip gets processed before
xfrm4_tunnel.
The situation for ICMP handling is a little bit more complicated since
we may not have enough information to determine who it's for. It's not
a big deal at the moment since the xfrm ICMP handlers are basically
no-ops. In future we can deal with this when we look at ICMP caching
in general.
The user-visible change to this is the removal of the TUNNEL Kconfig
prompts. This makes sense because it can only be used through IPCOMP
as it stands.
The addition of the new modules shouldn't introduce any problems since
module dependency will cause them to be loaded.
Oh and I also turned some unnecessary pskb's in IPv6 related to this
patch to skb's.

[NET]: drop duplicate assignment in request_sock
[IPSEC]: Fix tunnel error handling in ipcomp6
The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe. There is no
protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the
chain is in use. The issues were discussed in this thread:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2
We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage
classes:
"Blocking" chains are always called from a process context
and the callout routines are allowed to sleep;
"Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and
the callout routines are not allowed to sleep.
We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API. Therefore
this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking
notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is
really just the old API under a new name). New kinds of data structures are
used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for
registration, unregistration, and calling a chain. The three APIs are
explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in
kernel/sys.c.
With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain
links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by
entries being added or removed. For raw chains the implementation provides no
guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections. (The
idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and
blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to
handle these things in their own way.)
There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with. For
atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in
a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem. Also, a
callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister
entries on its own chain. (This did happen in a couple of places and the code
had to be changed to avoid it.)
Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use
spinlocks for synchronization. Instead we use RCU. The overhead falls almost
entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much
less frequent that calling a chain.
Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications. None
of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.

It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong. If they are,
please let us know or submit a patch to fix them. Note that any chain that
gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking
used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems.
(However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be
atomic.)

When we get an ICMP need-to-frag message, the original TOS value in the
ICMP payload cannot be used as a key to look up the routes to update.
This is because the TOS field may have been modified by routers on the
way. Similarly, ip_rt_redirect should also ignore the TOS as the router
that gave us the message may have modified the TOS value.
The patch achieves this objective by aggregating entries with different
TOS values (but are otherwise identical) into the same bucket. This
makes it easy to update them at the same time when an ICMP message is
received.
In future we should use a twin-hashing scheme where teh aggregation
occurs at the entry level. That is, the TOS goes back into the hash
for normal lookups while ICMP lookups will end up with a node that
gives us a list that contains all other route entries that differ
only by TOS.

o This is a Kconfig option, as currently most people have no

o Tested on SMP, attention as been paid to make it 64 bits clean.
o Code do probably too many checks and could be further

Allows use of the optional user facility to insert ITU-T
(http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/) specified DTE facilities in call set-up x25
packets. This feature is optional; no facilities will be added if the ioctl
is not used, and call setup packet remains the same as before.
If the ioctls provided by the patch are used, then a facility marker will be
added to the x25 packet header so that the called dte address extension
facility can be differentiated from other types of facilities (as described in
the ITU-T X.25 recommendation) that are also allowed in the x25 packet header.
Facility markers are made up of two octets, and may be present in the x25
packet headers of call-request, incoming call, call accepted, clear request,
and clear indication packets. The first of the two octets represents the
facility code field and is set to zero by this patch. The second octet of the
marker represents the facility parameter field and is set to 0x0F because the
marker will be inserted before ITU-T type DTE facilities.
Since according to ITU-T X.25 Recommendation X.25(10/96)- 7.1 "All networks
will support the facility markers with a facility parameter field set to all
ones or to 00001111", therefore this patch should work with all x.25 networks.
While there are many ITU-T DTE facilities, this patch implements only the
called and calling address extension, with placeholders in the
x25_dte_facilities structure for the rest of the facilities.
Testing:
This patch was tested using a cisco xot router connected on its serial ports
to an X.25 network, and on its lan ports to a host running an xotd daemon.
It is also possible to test this patch using an xotd daemon and an x25tap
patch, where the xotd daemons work back-to-back without actually using an x.25
network. See www.fyonne.net for details on how to do this.

The typedef for dn_address has been removed in favour of using __le16
or __u16 directly as appropriate. All the DECnet header files are
updated accordingly.
The byte ordering of dn_eth2dn() and dn_dn2eth() are both changed
since just about all their callers wanted network order rather than
host order, so the conversion is now done in the functions themselves.
Several missed endianess conversions have been picked up during the
conversion process. The nh_gw field in struct dn_fib_info has been
changed from a 32 bit field to 16 bits as it ought to be.
One or two cases of using htons rather than dn_htons in the routing

struct neigh_ops currently has a destructor field, which no in-kernel
drivers outside of infiniband use. The infiniband/ulp/ipoib in-tree
driver stashes some info in the neighbour structure (the results of
the second-stage lookup from ARP results to real link-level path), and
it uses neigh->ops->destructor to get a callback so it can clean up
this extra info when a neighbour is freed. We've run into problems
with this: since the destructor is in an ops field that is shared
between neighbours that may belong to different net devices, there's
no way to set/clear it safely.
The following patch moves this field to neigh_parms where it can be
safely set, together with its twin neigh_setup. Two additional

Instead of doing a memset then initialization of the fields of the scm

ucred instead of assigning the members individually, which forces the
