b86acd501a SUNRPC: export new RPC client functions with _GPL
This patch is optional.

It has been suggested that the RPC client internal functions used by upper
layer protocols (such as NFS) be exported via EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL.  This
patch does that.

Test plan:
Compile kernel with CONFIG_NFS enabled as a module.

ff9aa5e56d SUNRPC: Eliminate xprt_create_proto and rpc_create_client
The two function call API for creating a new RPC client is now obsolete.
Remove it.

Also, remove an unnecessary check to see whether the caller is capable of
using privileged network services.  The kernel RPC client always uses a
privileged ephemeral port by default; callers are responsible for checking
the authority of users to make use of any RPC service, or for specifying
that a nonprivileged port is acceptable.

Test plan:
Repeated runs of Connectathon locking suite.  Check network trace to ensure
correctness of NLM requests and replies.

c2866763b4 SUNRPC: use sockaddr + size when creating remote transport endpoints
Prepare for more generic transport endpoint handling needed by transports
that might use different forms of addressing, such as IPv6.

Introduce a single function call to replace the two-call
xprt_create_proto/rpc_create_client API.  Define a new rpc_create_args
structure that allows callers to pass in remote endpoint addresses of
varying length.

c4efcb1d3e SUNRPC: Use "sockaddr_storage" for storing RPC client's remote peer address
IPv6 addresses are big (128 bytes).  Now that no RPC client consumers treat
the addr field in rpc_xprt structs as an opaque, and access it only via the
API calls, we can safely widen the field in the rpc_xprt struct to
accomodate larger addresses.

4a68179d38 SUNRPC: Make RPC portmapper use per-transport storage
Move connection and bind state that was maintained in the rpc_clnt
structure to the rpc_xprt structure.  This will allow the creation of
a clean API for plugging in different types of bind mechanisms.

This brings improvements such as the elimination of a single spin lock to
control serialization for all in-kernel RPC binding.  A set of per-xprt
bitops is used to serialize tasks during RPC binding, just like it now
works for making RPC transport connections.

This turns out to be a genuine bug.  The queue lock and xmit lock are
intentionally taken out of order.  Two things are supposed to prevent
dead-locks from occuring:

1) When we hold the queue_lock we're supposed to only do try_lock on the
tx_lock.

2) We always drop the queue_lock after taking the tx_lock and before doing
anything else.

This path obviously breaks assumption 1) and therefore can lead to ABBA
dead-locks.

I've looked at the history and there seems to be no reason for the lock
to be held at all in dev_watchdog_up.  The lock appeared in day one and
even there it was unnecessary.  In fact, people added __dev_watchdog_up
precisely in order to get around the tx lock there.

The function dev_watchdog_up is already serialised by rtnl_lock since
its only caller dev_activate is always called under it.

So here is a simple patch to remove the tx lock from dev_watchdog_up.
In 2.6.19 we can eliminate the unnecessary __dev_watchdog_up and
replace it with dev_watchdog_up.

correctly. The criteria is RFC2465:
 ipv6IfStatsInAddrErrors OBJECT-TYPE
      SYNTAX      Counter32
      MAX-ACCESS  read-only
      STATUS      current
      DESCRIPTION
         "The number of input datagrams discarded because
         the IPv6 address in their IPv6 header's destination
         field was not a valid address to be received at
         this entity.  This count includes invalid
         addresses (e.g., ::0) and unsupported addresses
         (e.g., addresses with unallocated prefixes).  For
         entities which are not IPv6 routers and therefore
         do not forward datagrams, this counter includes
         datagrams discarded because the destination address
         was not a local address."
      ::= { ipv6IfStatsEntry 5 }

When I send packet to host with destination that is ether invalid
address(::0) or unsupported addresses(1::1), the Linux kernel just
discard the packet, and the counter doesn't increase(in the function
ip6_pkt_discard).

b9ac86727f [SCTP]: Fix sctp_primitive_ABORT() call in sctp_close().
With the recent fix, the callers of sctp_primitive_ABORT()
need to create an ABORT chunk and pass it as an argument rather
than msghdr that was passed earlier.

66a377c504 [DCCP]: Fix CCID3
This fixes CCID3 to give much closer performance to RFC4342.

CCID3 is meant to alter sending rate based on RTT and loss.

The performance was verified against:
http://wand.net.nz/~perry/max_download.php

For example I tested with netem and had the following parameters:
Delayed Acks 1, MSS 256 bytes, RTT 105 ms, packet loss 5%.

This gives a theoretical speed of 71.9 Kbits/s. I measured across three
runs with this patch set and got 70.1 Kbits/s. Without this patchset the
average was 232 Kbits/s which means Linux can't be used for CCID3 research
properly.

I also tested with netem turned off so box just acting as router with 1.2
msec RTT. The performance with this is the same with or without the patch
at around 30 Mbit/s.

3a13813e6e [BRIDGE] netfilter: memory corruption fix
The bridge-netfilter code will overwrite memory if there is not
headroom in the skb to save the header.  This first showed up when
using Xen with sky2 driver that doesn't allocate the extra space.
