As it is the bridge will only ever declare NETIF_F_IP_CSUM even if all
its constituent devices support NETIF_F_HW_CSUM.  This patch fixes
this by supporting the first one out of NETIF_F_NO_CSUM,
NETIF_F_HW_CSUM, and NETIF_F_IP_CSUM that is supported by all
constituent devices.

The current stack treats NETIF_F_HW_CSUM and NETIF_F_NO_CSUM
identically so we test for them in quite a few places.  For the sake
of brevity, I'm adding the macro NETIF_F_GEN_CSUM for these two.  We
also test the disjunct of NETIF_F_IP_CSUM and the other two in various
places, for that purpose I've added NETIF_F_ALL_CSUM.

00b7050426 [TG3]: Convert to non-LLTX
Herbert Xu pointed out that it is unsafe to call netif_tx_disable()
from LLTX drivers because it uses dev->xmit_lock to synchronize
whereas LLTX drivers use private locks.

Convert tg3 to non-LLTX to fix this issue. tg3 is a lockless driver
where hard_start_xmit and tx completion handling can run concurrently
under normal conditions. A tx_lock is only needed to prevent
netif_stop_queue and netif_wake_queue race condtions when the queue
is full.

So whether we use LLTX or non-LLTX, it makes practically no
difference.

Remove tx_lock where it is unnecessary. tg3 runs lockless and so it

364c6badde [NET]: Clean up skb_linearize
The linearisation operation doesn't need to be super-optimised.  So we can
replace __skb_linearize with __pskb_pull_tail which does the same thing but
is more general.

Also, most users of skb_linearize end up testing whether the skb is linear
or not so it helps to make skb_linearize do just that.

Some callers of skb_linearize also use it to copy cloned data, so it's
useful to have a new function skb_linearize_cow to copy the data if it's
either non-linear or cloned.

Last but not least, I've removed the gfp argument since nobody uses it
anymore.  If it's ever needed we can easily add it back.

932ff279a4 [NET]: Add netif_tx_lock
Various drivers use xmit_lock internally to synchronise with their
transmission routines.  They do so without setting xmit_lock_owner.
This is fine as long as netpoll is not in use.

With netpoll it is possible for deadlocks to occur if xmit_lock_owner
isn't set.  This is because if a printk occurs while xmit_lock is held
and xmit_lock_owner is not set can cause netpoll to attempt to take
xmit_lock recursively.

While it is possible to resolve this by getting netpoll to use
trylock, it is suboptimal because netpoll's sole objective is to
maximise the chance of getting the printk out on the wire.  So
delaying or dropping the message is to be avoided as much as possible.

So the only alternative is to always set xmit_lock_owner.  The
following patch does this by introducing the netif_tx_lock family of
functions that take care of setting/unsetting xmit_lock_owner.

I renamed xmit_lock to _xmit_lock to indicate that it should not be
used directly.  I didn't provide irq versions of the netif_tx_lock
functions since xmit_lock is meant to be a BH-disabling lock.

This is pretty much a straight text substitution except for a small
bug fix in winbond.  It currently uses
netif_stop_queue/spin_unlock_wait to stop transmission.  This is
unsafe as an IRQ can potentially wake up the queue.  So it is safer to
use netif_tx_disable.

The hamradio bits used spin_lock_irq but it is unnecessary as
xmit_lock must never be taken in an IRQ handler.

4e5ab4cb85 [SECMARK]: Add new packet controls to SELinux
Add new per-packet access controls to SELinux, replacing the old
packet controls.

Packets are labeled with the iptables SECMARK and CONNSECMARK targets,
then security policy for the packets is enforced with these controls.

To allow for a smooth transition to the new controls, the old code is
still present, but not active by default.  To restore previous
behavior, the old controls may be activated at runtime by writing a
'1' to /selinux/compat_net, and also via the kernel boot parameter
selinux_compat_net.  Switching between the network control models
requires the security load_policy permission.  The old controls will
probably eventually be removed and any continued use is discouraged.

With this patch, the new secmark controls for SElinux are disabled by
default, so existing behavior is entirely preserved, and the user is
not affected at all.

It also provides a config option to enable the secmark controls by
default (which can always be overridden at boot and runtime).  It is
also noted in the kconfig help that the user will need updated
userspace if enabling secmark controls for SELinux and that they'll
probably need the SECMARK and CONNMARK targets, and conntrack protocol
helpers, although such decisions are beyond the scope of kernel
configuration.

100468e9c0 [SECMARK]: Add CONNSECMARK xtables target
Add a new xtables target, CONNSECMARK, which is used to specify rules
for copying security marks from packets to connections, and for
copyying security marks back from connections to packets.  This is

it only allows copying of security marks to and from packets, as this
is all it needs to do.

A typical scenario would be to apply a security mark to a 'new' packet
with SECMARK, then copy that to its conntrack via CONNMARK, and then
restore the security mark from the connection to established and
related packets on that connection.

29a395eac4 [SECMARK]: Add new flask definitions to SELinux
Secmark implements a new scheme for adding security markings to
packets via iptables, as well as changes to SELinux to use these
markings for security policy enforcement.  The rationale for this
scheme is explained and discussed in detail in the original threads:

 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/34927/
 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/35244/

Examples of policy and rulesets, as well as a full archive of patches
for iptables and SELinux userland, may be found at:

http://people.redhat.com/jmorris/selinux/secmark/

The code has been tested with various compilation options and in
several scenarios, including with 'complicated' protocols such as FTP
and also with the new generic conntrack code with IPv6 connection
tracking.

This patch:

Add support for a new object class ('packet'), and associated
permissions ('send', 'recv', 'relabelto').  These are used to enforce
security policy for network packets labeled with SECMARK, and for
adding labeling rules.

c8c05a8eec [LSM-IPsec]: SELinux Authorize
This patch contains a fix for the previous patch that adds security
contexts to IPsec policies and security associations.  In the previous
patch, no authorization (besides the check for write permissions to
SAD and SPD) is required to delete IPsec policies and security
assocations with security contexts.  Thus a user authorized to change
SAD and SPD can bypass the IPsec policy authorization by simply
deleteing policies with security contexts.  To fix this security hole,
an additional authorization check is added for removing security
policies and security associations with security contexts.

Note that if no security context is supplied on add or present on
policy to be deleted, the SELinux module allows the change
unconditionally.  The hook is called on deletion when no context is
present, which we may want to change.  At present, I left it up to the
module.

LSM changes:

The patch adds two new LSM hooks: xfrm_policy_delete and
xfrm_state_delete.  The new hooks are necessary to authorize deletion
of IPsec policies that have security contexts.  The existing hooks
xfrm_policy_free and xfrm_state_free lack the context to do the
authorization, so I decided to split authorization of deletion and
memory management of security data, as is typical in the LSM
interface.

Use:

The new delete hooks are checked when xfrm_policy or xfrm_state are
deleted by either the xfrm_user interface (xfrm_get_policy,
xfrm_del_sa) or the pfkey interface (pfkey_spddelete, pfkey_delete).

SELinux changes:

The new policy_delete and state_delete functions are added.

338fcf9886 [IPV4] igmp: Fixup struct ip_mc_list::multiaddr type
All users except two expect 32-bit big-endian value. One is of

	->multiaddr = ->multiaddr

variety. And last one is "%08lX".

70df2311ee [TCP]: Fix compile warning in tcp_probe.c
The suseconds_t et al. are not necessarily any particular type on
every platform, so cast to unsigned long so that we can use one printf
format string and avoid warnings across the board

a42e9d6ce8 [TCP]: TCP Probe congestion window tracing
This adds a new module for tracking TCP state variables non-intrusively
using kprobes.  It has a simple /proc interface that outputs one line
for each packet received. A sample usage is to collect congestion
window and ssthresh over time graphs.

72dc5b9225 [TCP]: Minimum congestion window consolidation.
Many of the TCP congestion methods all just use ssthresh
as the minimum congestion window on decrease.  Rather than
duplicating the code, just have that be the default if that
handle in the ops structure is not set.

Minor behaviour change to TCP compound.  It probably wants
to use this (ssthresh) as lower bound, rather than ssthresh/2
because the latter causes undershoot on loss.
