2bad35b7c9 netns: oops in ip[6]_frag_reasm incrementing stats
dev can be NULL in ip[6]_frag_reasm for skb's coming from RAW sockets.

Quagga's OSPFD sends fragmented packets on a RAW socket, when netfilter
conntrack reassembles them on the OUTPUT path you hit this code path.

You can test it with something like "hping2 -0 -d 2000 -f AA.BB.CC.DD"

With help from Jarek Poplawski.

1b1d8f73a4 ipv6: fix display of local and remote sit endpoints
This fixes the regressions cause by
commit 1326c3d5a4
(v2.6.28-rc6-461-g23a12b1) broke the display of local and remote
addresses of an SIT tunnel in iproute2.

nt->parms is used by ipip6_tunnel_init() and therefore need to be
initialized first.

9bdd8d40c8 ipv6: Fix incorrect disable_ipv6 behavior
Fix the behavior of allowing both sysctl and addrconf_dad_failure()
to set the disable_ipv6 parameter without any bad side-effects.
If DAD fails and accept_dad > 1, we will still set disable_ipv6=1,
but then instead of allowing an RA to add an address then
immediately fail DAD, we simply don't allow the address to be
added in the first place.  This also lets the user set this flag
and disable all IPv6 addresses on the interface, or on the entire
system.

176c39af29 netns: fix addrconf_ifdown kernel panic
When a network namespace is destroyed the network interfaces are
all unregistered, making addrconf_ifdown called by the netdevice
notifier. 
In the other hand, the addrconf exit method does a loop on the network
devices and does addrconf_ifdown on each of them. But the ordering of 
the netns subsystem is not right because it uses the register_pernet_device
instead of register_pernet_subsys. If we handle the loopback as
any network device, we can safely use register_pernet_subsys.

But if we use register_pernet_subsys, the addrconf exit method will do
exactly what was already done with the unregistering of the network
devices. So in definitive, this code is pointless.

I removed the netns addrconf exit method and moved the code to the
addrconf cleanup function.

1ce85fe402 netlink: change nlmsg_notify() return value logic
This patch changes the return value of nlmsg_notify() as follows:

If NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR is set by any of the listeners and
an error in the delivery happened, return the broadcast error;
else if there are no listeners apart from the socket that
requested a change with the echo flag, return the result of the
unicast notification. Thus, with this patch, the unicast
notification is handled in the same way of a broadcast listener
that has set the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket flag.

This patch is useful in case that the caller of nlmsg_notify()
wants to know the result of the delivery of a netlink notification
(including the broadcast delivery) and take any action in case
that the delivery failed. For example, ctnetlink can drop packets
if the event delivery failed to provide reliable logging and
state-synchronization at the cost of dropping packets.

This patch also modifies the rtnetlink code to ignore the return
value of rtnl_notify() in all callers. The function rtnl_notify()
(before this patch) returned the error of the unicast notification
which makes rtnl_set_sk_err() reports errors to all listeners. This
is not of any help since the origin of the change (the socket that
requested the echoing) notices the ENOBUFS error if the notification
fails and should resync itself.

86911732d3 gro: Avoid copying headers of unmerged packets
Unfortunately simplicity isn't always the best.  The fraginfo
interface turned out to be suboptimal.  The problem was quite
obvious.  For every packet, we have to copy the headers from
the frags structure into skb->head, even though for 99% of the
packets this part is immediately thrown away after the merge.

LRO didn't have this problem because it directly read the headers
from the frags structure.

This patch attempts to address this by creating an interface
that allows GRO to access the headers in the first frag without
having to copy it.  Because all drivers that use frags place the
headers in the first frag this optimisation should be enough.

1d6e55f195 IPv6: Fix multicast routing bugs.
This patch addresses the IPv6 multicast routing issues described
below.  It was tested with XORP 1.4/1.5 as the IPv6 PIM-SM routing
daemon against FreeBSD peers.

net/ipv6/ip6_input.c:

  - Don't try to forward link-local multicast packets.

  - Don't reset skb2->dev before calling ip6_mr_input() so packets can
    be identified as coming from the PIM register vif properly.

net/ipv6/ip6mr.c:

  - Fix incoming PIM register messages processing:

    * The IPv6 pseudo-header should be included when checksumming PIM
      messages (RFC 4601 section 4.9; RFC 3973 section 4.7.1).

    * Packets decapsulated from PIM register messages should have
      skb->protocol ETH_P_IPV6.

  - Enable/disable IPv6 multicast forwarding on the corresponding
    interface when a routing daemon adds/removes a multicast virtual
    interface.

  - Remove incorrect skb_pull() to fix userspace signaling.

  - Enable/disable global IPv6 multicast forwarding when an IPv6
    multicast routing socket is opened/closed.

net/ipv6/route.c:

  - Don't use strict routing logic for packets decapsulated from PIM
    register messages (similar to disabling rp_filter for the IPv4
    case).

It's also simpler compared to IPv4 since we no longer have to worry
about fragmentation attributes or header checksums.

14deae4156 ipv6: Fix sporadic sendmsg -EINVAL when sending to multicast groups.
Thanks to excellent diagnosis by Eduard Guzovsky.

The core problem is that on a network with lots of active
multicast traffic, the neighbour cache can fill up.  If
we try to allocate a new route and thus neighbour cache
entry, the bog-standard GC attempt the neighbour layer does
in ineffective because route entries hold a reference
to the existing neighbour entries and GC can only liberate
entries with no references.

IPV4 already has a way to handle this, by doing a route cache
GC in such situations (when neigh attach returns -ENOBUFS).

So simply mimick this on the ipv6 side.

eb4dea5853 net: Fix percpu counters deadlock
When we converted the protocol atomic counters such as the orphan
count and the total socket count deadlocks were introduced due to
the mismatch in BH status of the spots that used the percpu counter
operations.

Based on the diagnosis and patch by Peter Zijlstra, this patch
fixes these issues by disabling BH where we may be in process
context.
