21380b81ef [XFRM]: Eliminate refcounting confusion by creating __xfrm_state_put().
We often just do an atomic_dec(&x->refcnt) on an xfrm_state object
because we know there is more than 1 reference remaining and thus
we can elide the heavier xfrm_state_put() call.

Do this behind an inline function called __xfrm_state_put() so that is
more obvious and also to allow us to more cleanly add refcount
debugging later.

48d5cad87c [XFRM]: Fix SNAT-related crash in xfrm4_output_finish
When a packet matching an IPsec policy is SNATed so it doesn't match any
policy anymore it looses its xfrm bundle, which makes xfrm4_output_finish
crash because of a NULL pointer dereference.

This patch directs these packets to the original output path instead. Since
the packets have already passed the POST_ROUTING hook, but need to start at
the beginning of the original output path which includes another
POST_ROUTING invocation, a flag is added to the IPCB to indicate that the
packet was rerouted and doesn't need to pass the POST_ROUTING hook again.

56f3a40a5e [Bluetooth] Reduce L2CAP MTU for RFCOMM connections
This patch reduces the default L2CAP MTU for all RFCOMM connections

RFCOMM implementations. To make this more flexible the L2CAP MTU
becomes also a module parameter and so it can changed at runtime.

27852c26ba [SCTP]: Fix 'fast retransmit' to send a TSN only once.
SCTP used to "fast retransmit" a TSN every time we hit the number
of missing reports for the TSN.  However the Implementers Guide
specifies that we should only "fast retransmit" a given TSN once.
Subsequent retransmits should be timeouts only. Also change the
number of missing reports to 3 as per the latest IG(similar to TCP).

313e7b4d25 [SCTP]: Fix machine check/connection hang on IA64.
sctp_unpack_cookie used an on-stack array called digest as a result/out
parameter in the call to crypto_hmac. However, hmac code
(crypto_hmac_final)
assumes that the 'out' argument is in virtual memory (identity mapped
region)
and can use virt_to_page call on it.  This does not work with the on-stack
declared digest.  The problems observed so far have been:
 a) incorrect hmac digest
 b) machine check and hardware reset.

Solution is to define the digest in an identity mapped region by
kmalloc'ing
it.  We can do this once as part of the endpoint structure and re-use it
when
verifying the SCTP cookie.

9834a2bb49 [SCTP]: Fix sctp_cookie alignment in the packet.
On 64 bit architectures, sctp_cookie sent as part of INIT-ACK is not
aligned on a 64 bit boundry and thus causes unaligned access exceptions.

The layout of the cookie prameter is this:
|<----- Parameter Header --------------------|<--- Cookie DATA --------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
| param type (16 bits) | param len (16 bits) | sig [32 bytes] | cookie..
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The cookie data portion contains 64 bit values on 64 bit architechtures
(timeval) that fall on a 32 bit alignment boundry when used as part of
the on-wire format, but align correctly when used in internal
structures.  This patch explicitely pads the on-wire format so that
it is properly aligned.

2e4e6a17af [NETFILTER] x_tables: Abstraction layer for {ip,ip6,arp}_tables
This monster-patch tries to do the best job for unifying the data
structures and backend interfaces for the three evil clones ip_tables,
ip6_tables and arp_tables.  In an ideal world we would never have
allowed this kind of copy+paste programming... but well, our world
isn't (yet?) ideal.

o introduce a new x_tables module
o {ip,arp,ip6}_tables depend on this x_tables module
o registration functions for tables, matches and targets are only
  wrappers around x_tables provided functions
o all matches/targets that are used from ip_tables and ip6_tables
  are now implemented as xt_FOOBAR.c files and provide module aliases
  to ipt_FOOBAR and ip6t_FOOBAR
o header files for xt_matches are in include/linux/netfilter/,
  include/linux/netfilter_{ipv4,ipv6} contains compatibility wrappers
  around the xt_FOOBAR.h headers

Based on this patchset we're going to further unify the code,
gradually getting rid of all the layer 3 specific assumptions.

GCC Manual:
  "Specifying Attributes of Types

   packed
    This attribute, attached to struct or union type definition, specifies
    that
    each member of the structure or union is placed to minimize the memory
    required. When attached to an enum definition, it indicates that the
    smallest integral type should be used.

    Specifying this attribute for struct and union types is equivalent to
    specifying the packed attribute on each of the structure or union

Use xfrm_decode_session and do the lookup manually, make sure both
only do the lookup if the packet hasn't been transformed already.

Makeing sure the lookup only happens once needs a new field in the

Move the loop from dst_output into xfrm4_output/xfrm6_output since they're
the only ones who need to it. xfrm{4,6}_output_one() processes the first SA
all subsequent transport mode SAs and is called in a loop that calls the
netfilter hooks between each two calls.

nf_hook which is nf_hook_slow plus the empty list check.

25995ff577 [SOCK]: Introduce sk_receive_skb
Its common enough to to justify that, TCP still can't use it as it has the
prequeueing stuff, still to be made generic in the not so distant future :-)

90ddc4f047 [NET]: move struct proto_ops to const
I noticed that some of 'struct proto_ops' used in the kernel may share
a cache line used by locks or other heavily modified data. (default
linker alignement is 32 bytes, and L1_CACHE_LINE is 64 or 128 at
least)

This patch makes sure a 'struct proto_ops' can be declared as const,
so that all cpus can share all parts of it without false sharing.

This is not mandatory : a driver can still use a read/write structure
if it needs to (and eventually a __read_mostly)

I made a global stubstitute to change all existing occurences to make
them const.

This should reduce the possibility of false sharing on SMP, and
speedup some socket system calls.
