c7e460ce55 Revert "net_sched: hold netns refcnt for each action"
This reverts commit ceffcc5e25.
If we hold that refcnt, the netns can never be destroyed until
all actions are destroyed by user, this breaks our netns design
which we expect all actions are destroyed when we destroy the
whole netns.

ceffcc5e25 net_sched: hold netns refcnt for each action
TC actions have been destroyed asynchronously for a long time,
previously in a RCU callback and now in a workqueue. If we
don't hold a refcnt for its netns, we could use the per netns
data structure, struct tcf_idrinfo, after it has been freed by
netns workqueue.

Hold refcnt to ensure netns destroy happens after all actions
are gone.

65a206c01e net/sched: Change act_api and act_xxx modules to use IDR
Typically, each TC filter has its own action. All the actions of the
same type are saved in its hash table. But the hash buckets are too
small that it degrades to a list. And the performance is greatly
affected. For example, it takes about 0m11.914s to insert 64K rules.
If we convert the hash table to IDR, it only takes about 0m1.500s.
The improvement is huge.

But please note that the test result is based on previous patch that
cls_flower uses IDR.

c7d03a00b5 netns: make struct pernet_operations::id unsigned int
Make struct pernet_operations::id unsigned.

There are 2 reasons to do so:

1)
This field is really an index into an zero based array and
thus is unsigned entity. Using negative value is out-of-bound
access by definition.

2)
On x86_64 unsigned 32-bit data which are mixed with pointers
via array indexing or offsets added or subtracted to pointers
are preffered to signed 32-bit data.

"int" being used as an array index needs to be sign-extended
to 64-bit before being used.

	void f(long *p, int i)
	{
		g(p[i]);
	}

  roughly translates to

	movsx	rsi, esi
	mov	rdi, [rsi+...]
	call 	g

MOVSX is 3 byte instruction which isn't necessary if the variable is
unsigned because x86_64 is zero extending by default.

Now, there is net_generic() function which, you guessed it right, uses
"int" as an array index:

	static inline void *net_generic(const struct net *net, int id)
	{
		...
		ptr = ng->ptr[id - 1];
		...
	}

And this function is used a lot, so those sign extensions add up.

Patch snipes ~1730 bytes on allyesconfig kernel (without all junk
messing with code generation):

	add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 70/598 up/down: 396/-2126 (-1730)

Unfortunately some functions actually grow bigger.
This is a semmingly random artefact of code generation with register
allocator being used differently. gcc decides that some variable
needs to live in new r8+ registers and every access now requires REX
prefix. Or it is shifted into r12, so [r12+0] addressing mode has to be
used which is longer than [r8]

However, overall balance is in negative direction:

	add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 70/598 up/down: 396/-2126 (-1730)

a85a970af2 net_sched: move tc_action into tcf_common
struct tc_action is confusing, currently we use it for two purposes:
1) Pass in arguments and carry out results from helper functions
2) A generic representation for tc actions

The first one is error-prone, since we need to make sure we don't
miss anything. This patch aims to get rid of this use, by moving
tc_action into tcf_common, so that they are allocated together
in hashtable and can be cast'ed easily.

And together with the following patch, we could really make
tc_action a generic representation for all tc actions and each
type of action can inherit from it.

ddf97ccdd7 net_sched: add network namespace support for tc actions
Currently tc actions are stored in a per-module hashtable,
therefore are visible to all network namespaces. This is
probably the last part of the tc subsystem which is not
aware of netns now. This patch makes them per-netns,
several tc action API's need to be adjusted for this.

The tc action API code is ugly due to historical reasons,
we need to refactor that code in the future.

1a29321ed0 net_sched: act: Dont increment refcnt on replace
This is a bug fix. The existing code tries to kill many
 birds with one stone: Handling binding of actions to
 filters, new actions and replacing of action
 attributes. A simple test case to illustrate:

XXXX
 moja@fe1:~$ sudo tc actions add action drop index 12
 moja@fe1:~$ actions get action gact index 12
 action order 1: gact action drop
  random type none pass val 0
  index 12 ref 1 bind 0
 moja@fe1:~$ sudo tc actions replace action ok index 12
 moja@fe1:~$ actions get action gact index 12
 action order 1: gact action drop
  random type none pass val 0
  index 12 ref 2 bind 0
XXXX

The above shows the refcounf being wrongly incremented on replace.
There are more complex scenarios with binding of actions to filters
that i am leaving out that didnt work as well...

but this fails to work correctly for userspace code that makes use of
netlink sockets in different network namespaces.  Instead, pass the
"struct net *" down along the call chain to where it is needed.

This version removes the ifb changes as Eric has submitted that patch

11fe883936 Merge branch 'master' of master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-2.6
Conflicts:
	drivers/vhost/net.c
	net/bridge/br_device.c

Fix merge conflict in drivers/vhost/net.c with guidance from
Stephen Rothwell.

Revert the effects of net-2.6 commit 573201f36f
since net-next-2.6 has fixes that make bridge netpoll work properly thus
we don't need it disabled.

70c2efa5a3 act_nat: not all of the ICMP packets need an IP header payload
not all of the ICMP packets need an IP header payload, so we check the length
of the skbs only when the packets should have an IP header payload.

Based upon analysis and initial patch by Rodrigo Partearroyo González.

33c29dde7d act_nat: fix the wrong checksum when addr isn't in old_addr/mask
fix the wrong checksum when addr isn't in old_addr/mask

For TCP and UDP packets, when addr isn't in old_addr/mask we don't do SNAT or
DNAT, and we should not update layer 4 checksum.

b421995235 [PKT_SCHED]: Add stateless NAT
Stateless NAT is useful in controlled environments where restrictions are
placed on through traffic such that we don't need connection tracking to
correctly NAT protocol-specific data.

In particular, this is of interest when the number of flows or the number
of addresses being NATed is large, or if connection tracking information
has to be replicated and where it is not practical to do so.

Previously we had stateless NAT functionality which was integrated into
the IPv4 routing subsystem.  This was a great solution as long as the NAT
worked on a subnet to subnet basis such that the number of NAT rules was
relatively small.  The reason is that for SNAT the routing based system
had to perform a linear scan through the rules.

If the number of rules is large then major renovations would have take
place in the routing subsystem to make this practical.

For the time being, the least intrusive way of achieving this is to use
the u32 classifier written by Alexey Kuznetsov along with the actions
infrastructure implemented by Jamal Hadi Salim.

The following patch is an attempt at this problem by creating a new nat
action that can be invoked from u32 hash tables which would allow large
number of stateless NAT rules that can be used/updated in constant time.

The actual NAT code is mostly based on the previous stateless NAT code
written by Alexey.  In future we might be able to utilise the protocol
NAT code from netfilter to improve support for other protocols.
