With this patch, a user can define an id for a peer netns by providing a FD or a
PID. These ids are local to the netns where it is added (ie valid only into this
netns).
The main function (ie the one exported to other module), peernet2id(), allows to
get the id of a peer netns. If no id has been assigned by the user, this
function allocates one.
These ids will be used in netlink messages to point to a peer netns, for example
in case of a x-netns interface.

This filter is same as RTEXT_FILTER_BRVLAN except that it tries
to compress the consecutive vlans into ranges.
This helps on systems with large number of configured vlans.

This patch adds the minimum necessary for the RTAX_CC_ALGO congestion
control metric to be set up and dumped back to user space.
While the internal representation of RTAX_CC_ALGO is handled as a u32
key, we avoided to expose this implementation detail to user space, thus
instead, we chose the netlink attribute that is being exchanged between
user space to be the actual congestion control algorithm name, similarly
as in the setsockopt(2) API in order to allow for maximum flexibility,
even for 3rd party modules.
It is a bit unfortunate that RTAX_QUICKACK used up a whole RTAX slot as
it should have been stored in RTAX_FEATURES instead, we first thought
about reusing it for the congestion control key, but it brings more
complications and/or confusion than worth it.
Joint work with Florian Westphal.

In previous discussions, I tried to find some reasonable heuristics
for delayed ACK, however this seems not possible, according to Eric:
"ACKS might also be delayed because of bidirectional
traffic, and is more controlled by the application
response time. TCP stack can not easily estimate it."
"ACK can be incredibly useful to recover from losses in
a short time.
The vast majority of TCP sessions are small lived, and we
send one ACK per received segment anyway at beginning or
retransmits to let the sender smoothly increase its cwnd,
so an auto-tuning facility wont help them that much."
and according to David:
"ACKs are the only information we have to detect loss.
And, for the same reasons that TCP VEGAS is fundamentally
broken, we cannot measure the pipe or some other
receiver-side-visible piece of information to determine
when it's "safe" to stretch ACK.
And even if it's "safe", we should not do it so that losses are
accurately detected and we don't spuriously retransmit.
The only way to know when the bandwidth increases is to
"test" it, by sending more and more packets until drops happen.
That's why all successful congestion control algorithms must
operate on explicited tested pieces of information.
Similarly, it's not really possible to universally know if
it's safe to stretch ACK or not."
It still makes sense to enable or disable quick ack mode like
what TCP_QUICK_ACK does.
Similar to TCP_QUICK_ACK option, but for people who can't
modify the source code and still wants to control
TCP delayed ACK behavior. As David suggested, this should belong
to per-path scope, since different pathes may want different
behaviors.

As Stephen mentioned, we need to monitor the mdb
changes in user-space, so add notifications via netlink too.

update selinux perm table as well
V2: drop patch 1/2, export ifindex directly
Redesign netlink attributes
Improve netlink seq check
Handle IPv6 addr as well
This patch exports bridge multicast database via netlink
message type RTM_GETMDB. Similar to fdb, but currently bridge-specific.
We may need to support modify multicast database too (RTM_{ADD,DEL}MDB).
(Thanks to Thomas for patient reviews)

These statistics can be checked only via /proc/net/ip_mr_cache or

Advertising them via rtnetlink allows to get statistics for all cache entries,
