Alexey Dobriyan 6d9f239a1e net: '&' redux
I want to compile out proc_* and sysctl_* handlers totally and
stub them to NULL depending on config options, however usage of &
will prevent this, since taking adress of NULL pointer will break
compilation.

So, drop & in front of every ->proc_handler and every ->strategy

Eric W. Biederman 426b5303eb [NETNS]: Modify the neighbour table code so it handles multiple network namespaces
I'm actually surprised at how much was involved.  At first glance it
appears that the neighbour table data structures are already split by
network device so all that should be needed is to modify the user
interface commands to filter the set of neighbours by the network
namespace of their devices.

However a couple things turned up while I was reading through the
code.  The proxy neighbour table allows entries with no network
device, and the neighbour parms are per network device (except for the
defaults) so they now need a per network namespace default.

So I updated the two structures (which surprised me) with their very
own network namespace parameter.  Updated the relevant lookup and
destroy routines with a network namespace parameter and modified the
code that interacts with users to filter out neighbour table entries
for devices of other namespaces.

I'm a little concerned that we can modify and display the global table
configuration and from all network namespaces.  But this appears good
enough for now.

I keep thinking modifying the neighbour table to have per network
namespace instances of each table type would should be cleaner.  The
hash table is already dynamically sized so there are it is not a
limiter.  The default parameter would be straight forward to take care
of.  However when I look at the how the network table is built and
used I still find some assumptions that there is only a single
neighbour table for each type of table in the kernel.  The netlink
operations, neigh_seq_start, the non-core network users that call
neigh_lookup.  So while it might be doable it would require more
refactoring than my current approach of just doing a little extra
filtering in the code.

Herbert Xu 352e512c32 [NET]: Eliminate duplicate copies of dst_discard
We have a number of copies of dst_discard scattered around the place
which all do the same thing, namely free a packet on the input or
output paths.

This patch deletes all of them except dst_discard and points all the
users to it.

The only non-trivial bit is decnet where it returns an error.
However, conceptually this is identical to the blackhole functions
used in IPv4 and IPv6 which do not return errors.  So they should
either all return errors or all return zero.  For now I've stuck with
the majority and picked zero as the return value.

It doesn't really matter in practice since few if any driver would
react differently depending on a zero return value or NET_RX_DROP.

In dn_rt_cache_get_next(), no need to guard seq->private by a
rcu_dereference() since seq is private to the thread running this
function. Reading seq.private once (as guaranted bu rcu_dereference())
or several time if compiler really is dumb enough wont change the
result.
 
But we miss real spots where rcu_dereference() are needed, both in
dn_rt_cache_get_first() and dn_rt_cache_get_next()

Pavel Emelyanov 3ccd86241b [DECNET]: dn_nl_deladdr() almost always returns no error
As far as I see from the err variable initialization
the dn_nl_deladdr() routine was designed to report errors
like "EADDRNOTAVAIL" and probaby "ENODEV".

But the code sets this err to 0 after the first nlmsg_parse

Denis V. Lunev cd40b7d398 [NET]: make netlink user -> kernel interface synchronious
This patch make processing netlink user -> kernel messages synchronious.
This change was inspired by the talk with Alexey Kuznetsov about current
netlink messages processing. He says that he was badly wrong when introduced 
asynchronious user -> kernel communication.

The call netlink_unicast is the only path to send message to the kernel
netlink socket. But, unfortunately, it is also used to send data to the
user.

Before this change the user message has been attached to the socket queue
and sk->sk_data_ready was called. The process has been blocked until all
pending messages were processed. The bad thing is that this processing
may occur in the arbitrary process context.

This patch changes nlk->data_ready callback to get 1 skb and force packet
processing right in the netlink_unicast.

Kernel -> user path in netlink_unicast remains untouched.

EINTR processing for in netlink_run_queue was changed. It forces rtnl_lock
drop, but the process remains in the cycle until the message will be fully
processed. So, there is no need to use this kludges now.

Eric W. Biederman 881d966b48 [NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace.
This patch makes most of the generic device layer network
namespace safe.  This patch makes dev_base_head a
network namespace variable, and then it picks up
a few associated variables.  The functions:
dev_getbyhwaddr
dev_getfirsthwbytype
dev_get_by_flags
dev_get_by_name
__dev_get_by_name
dev_get_by_index
__dev_get_by_index
dev_ioctl
dev_ethtool
dev_load
wireless_process_ioctl

were modified to take a network namespace argument, and
deal with it.

vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their
hooks will receive a network namespace argument.

So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was
affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle
multiple network namespaces.  The rest of the network stack was
simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network
namespace.  This can be fixed when those components of the network
stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces.

For now the ifindex generator is left global.

Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else
we will have corner case problems with migration when
we get that far.

At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack
that the ifindex of a network device won't change.  Making
the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until
the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when
you change namespaces, and the like.

Each netlink socket will live in exactly one network namespace,
this includes the controlling kernel sockets.

This patch updates all of the existing netlink protocols
to only support the initial network namespace.  Request
by clients in other namespaces will get -ECONREFUSED.
As they would if the kernel did not have the support for
that netlink protocol compiled in.

As each netlink protocol is updated to be multiple network
namespace safe it can register multiple kernel sockets
to acquire a presence in the rest of the network namespaces.

The implementation in af_netlink is a simple filter implementation
at hash table insertion and hash table look up time.

stack or a pseudo device.  If a protocol stack that does not have
support for multiple network namespaces receives an event for a

To avoid problems until all of the protocol stacks are converted
this patch modifies all netdev event handlers to ignore events on

checks can be removed.

Eric W. Biederman 1b8d7ae42d [NET]: Make socket creation namespace safe.
This patch passes in the namespace a new socket should be created in
and has the socket code do the appropriate reference counting.  By
virtue of this all socket create methods are touched.  In addition
the socket create methods are modified so that they will fail if
you attempt to create a socket in a non-default network namespace.

Failing if we attempt to create a socket outside of the default
network namespace ensures that as we incrementally make the network stack
network namespace aware we will not export functionality that someone
has not audited and made certain is network namespace safe.
Allowing us to partially enable network namespaces before all of the
exotic protocols are supported.

Any protocol layers I have missed will fail to compile because I now
pass an extra parameter into the socket creation code.

This patch makes /proc/net per network namespace.  It modifies the global
variables proc_net and proc_net_stat to be per network namespace.
The proc_net file helpers are modified to take a network namespace argument,

This ensures that all of the /proc/net files are only visible and
usable in the initial network namespace until the code behind them
has been updated to be handle multiple network namespaces.

Making /proc/net per namespace is necessary as at least some files
in /proc/net depend upon the set of network devices which is per
network namespace, and even more files in /proc/net have contents
that are relevant to a single network namespace.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo badff6d01a [SK_BUFF]: Introduce skb_reset_transport_header(skb)
For the common, open coded 'skb->h.raw = skb->data' operation, so that we can
later turn skb->h.raw into a offset, reducing the size of struct sk_buff in
64bit land while possibly keeping it as a pointer on 32bit.

This one touches just the most simple cases:

skb->h.raw = skb->data;
skb->h.raw = {skb_push|[__]skb_pull}()

The next ones will handle the slightly more "complex" cases.

Thomas Graf e1701c68c1 [NET]: Fix fib_rules compatibility breakage
Based upon a patch from Patrick McHardy.

The fib_rules netlink attribute policy introduced in 2.6.19 broke
userspace compatibilty. When specifying a rule with "from all"
or "to all", iproute adds a zero byte long netlink attribute,
but the policy requires all addresses to have a size equal to
sizeof(struct in_addr)/sizeof(struct in6_addr), resulting in a
validation error.

Check attribute length of FRA_SRC/FRA_DST in the generic framework
by letting the family specific rules implementation provide the
length of an address. Report an error if address length is non
zero but no address attribute is provided. Fix actual bug by
checking address length for non-zero instead of relying on
availability of attribute.

Eric W. Biederman 0b4d414714 [PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctl
The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered
sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name.  Which is
pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented.

I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of
register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register
duplicate sysctl entries.

So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in
the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future
enhancments harder.

Tim Schmielau cd354f1ae7 [PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h
After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there.  Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.

To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.

Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
configs in arch/arm/configs on arm.  I also checked that no new warnings were
introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
by unnecessarily included header files).

Currently netlink users BUG when the allocated skb for an event
notification is undersized. While this is certainly a kernel bug,
its not critical and crashing the kernel is too drastic, especially
when considering that these errors have appeared multiple times in
the past and it BUGs even if no listeners are present.

This patch replaces BUG by WARN_ON and changes the notification
functions to inform potential listeners of undersized allocations
using a unique error code (EMSGSIZE).
