b889416b54 tproxy: Add missing CAP_NET_ADMIN check to ipv6 side
IP_TRANSPARENT requires root (more precisely CAP_NET_ADMIN privielges)
for IPV6.

However as I see right now this check was missed from the IPv6
implementation.

7e223de84b ip6_tunnel dont update the mtu on the route.
The ip6_tunnel device did not unset the flag,
IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE. This will make the dev layer
to release the dst before calling the tunnel.
The tunnel will not update any mtu/pmtu info, since
it does not have a dst on the skb.

e97c3e278e tproxy: split off ipv6 defragmentation to a separate module
Like with IPv4, TProxy needs IPv6 defragmentation but does not
require connection tracking. Since defragmentation was coupled
with conntrack, I split off the two, creating an nf_defrag_ipv6 module,
similar to the already existing nf_defrag_ipv4.

093d282321 tproxy: fix hash locking issue when using port redirection in __inet_inherit_port()
When __inet_inherit_port() is called on a tproxy connection the wrong locks are
held for the inet_bind_bucket it is added to. __inet_inherit_port() made an
implicit assumption that the listener's port number (and thus its bind bucket).
Unfortunately, if you're using the TPROXY target to redirect skbs to a
transparent proxy that assumption is not true anymore and things break.

This patch adds code to __inet_inherit_port() so that it can handle this case
by looking up or creating a new bind bucket for the child socket and updates
callers of __inet_inherit_port() to gracefully handle __inet_inherit_port()
failing.

Reported by and original patch from Stephen Buck <stephen.buck@exinda.com>.

10da66f755 fib: avoid false sharing on fib_table_hash
While doing profile analysis, I found fib_hash_table was sometime in a
cache line shared by a possibly often written kernel structure.

(CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH || !CONFIG_IPV6_MULTIPLE_TABLES)

It's hard to detect because not easily reproductible.

Make sure we allocate a full cache line to keep this shared in all cpus
caches.

d6bf781712 net neigh: RCU conversion of neigh hash table
David

This is the first step for RCU conversion of neigh code.

Next patches will convert hash_buckets[] and "struct neighbour" to RCU
protected objects.

Thanks

[PATCH net-next] net neigh: RCU conversion of neigh hash table

Instead of storing hash_buckets, hash_mask and hash_rnd in "struct
neigh_table", a new structure is defined :

struct neigh_hash_table {
       struct neighbour        **hash_buckets;
       unsigned int            hash_mask;
       __u32                   hash_rnd;
       struct rcu_head         rcu;
};

And "struct neigh_table" has an RCU protected pointer to such a
neigh_hash_table.

This means the signature of (*hash)() function changed: We need to add a
third parameter with the actual hash_rnd value, since this is not
anymore a neigh_table field.

caf586e5f2 net: add a core netdev->rx_dropped counter
In various situations, a device provides a packet to our stack and we
drop it before it enters protocol stack :
- softnet backlog full (accounted in /proc/net/softnet_stat)
- bad vlan tag (not accounted)
- unknown/unregistered protocol (not accounted)

We can handle a per-device counter of such dropped frames at core level,
and automatically adds it to the device provided stats (rx_dropped), so
that standard tools can be used (ifconfig, ip link, cat /proc/net/dev)

This is a generalization of commit 8990f468a (net: rx_dropped
accounting), thus reverting it.

a8defca048 netfilter: ipt_LOG: add bufferisation to call printk() once
ipt_LOG & ip6t_LOG use lot of calls to printk() and use a lock in a hope
several cpus wont mix their output in syslog.

printk() being very expensive [1], its better to call it once, on a
prebuilt and complete line. Also, with mixed IPv4 and IPv6 trafic,
separate IPv4/IPv6 locks dont avoid garbage.

I used an allocation of a 1024 bytes structure, sort of seq_printf() but
with a fixed size limit.
Use a static buffer if dynamic allocation failed.

Emit a once time alert if buffer size happens to be too short.

[1]: printk() has various features like printk_delay()...

Can be setup as follows:
  ip -6 rule from all iif eth0 lookup 200

2cc6d2bf3d ipv6: add a missing unregister_pernet_subsys call
Clean up a missing exit path in the ipv6 module init routines.  In
addrconf_init we call ipv6_addr_label_init which calls register_pernet_subsys
for the ipv6_addr_label_ops structure.  But if module loading fails, or if the
ipv6 module is removed, there is no corresponding unregister_pernet_subsys call,
which leaves a now-bogus address on the pernet_list, leading to oopses in
subsequent registrations.  This patch cleans up both the failed load path and
the unload path.  Tested by myself with good results.

3d13008e73 ip: fix truesize mismatch in ip fragmentation
Special care should be taken when slow path is hit in ip_fragment() :

When walking through frags, we transfert truesize ownership from skb to
frags. Then if we hit a slow_path condition, we must undo this or risk
uncharging frags->truesize twice, and in the end, having negative socket
sk_wmem_alloc counter, or even freeing socket sooner than expected.

Many thanks to Nick Bowler, who provided a very clean bug report and
test program.

Thanks to Jarek for reviewing my first patch and providing a V2

While Nick bisection pointed to commit 2b85a34e91 (net: No more
expensive sock_hold()/sock_put() on each tx), underlying bug is older
(2.6.12-rc5)

A side effect is to extend work done in commit b2722b1c3a
(ip_fragment: also adjust skb->truesize for packets not owned by a
socket) to ipv6 as well.

8444cf712c xfrm: Allow different selector family in temporary state
The family parameter xfrm_state_find is used to find a state matching a
certain policy. This value is set to the template's family
(encap_family) right before xfrm_state_find is called.
The family parameter is however also used to construct a temporary state
in xfrm_state_find itself which is wrong for inter-family scenarios
because it produces a selector for the wrong family. Since this selector
is included in the xfrm_user_acquire structure, user space programs
misinterpret IPv6 addresses as IPv4 and vice versa.
This patch splits up the original init_tempsel function into a part that
initializes the selector respectively the props and id of the temporary
state, to allow for differing ip address families whithin the state.

719f835853 udp: add rehash on connect()
commit 30fff923 introduced in linux-2.6.33 (udp: bind() optimisation)
added a secondary hash on UDP, hashed on (local addr, local port).

Problem is that following sequence :

fd = socket(...)
connect(fd, &remote, ...)

not only selects remote end point (address and port), but also sets
local address, while UDP stack stored in secondary hash table the socket
while its local address was INADDR_ANY (or ipv6 equivalent)

Sequence is :
 - autobind() : choose a random local port, insert socket in hash tables
              [while local address is INADDR_ANY]
 - connect() : set remote address and port, change local address to IP
              given by a route lookup.

When an incoming UDP frame comes, if more than 10 sockets are found in
primary hash table, we switch to secondary table, and fail to find
socket because its local address changed.

One solution to this problem is to rehash datagram socket if needed.

We add a new rehash(struct socket *) method in "struct proto", and
implement this method for UDP v4 & v6, using a common helper.

This rehashing only takes care of secondary hash table, since primary
hash (based on local port only) is not changed.

c3bccac2fa ipv6: add special mode forwarding=2 to send RS while configured as router
Similar to accepting router advertisement, the IPv6 stack does not send router
solicitations if forwarding is enabled.

This patch enables this behavior to be overruled by setting forwarding to the
special value 2.

65e9b62d45 ipv6: add special mode accept_ra=2 to accept RA while configured as router
The current IPv6 behavior is to not accept router advertisements while
forwarding, i.e. configured as router.

This does make sense, a router is typically not supposed to be auto
configured. However there are exceptions and we should allow the
current behavior to be overwritten.

Therefore this patch enables the user to overrule the "if forwarding
enabled then don't listen to RAs" rule by setting accept_ra to the
special value of 2.

An alternative would be to ignore the forwarding switch alltogether
and solely accept RAs based on the value of accept_ra. However, I
found that if not intended, accepting RAs as a router can lead to
strange unwanted behavior therefore we it seems wise to only do so
if the user explicitely asks for this behavior.

cca77b7c81 netfilter: fix CONFIG_COMPAT support
commit f3c5c1bfd4
(netfilter: xtables: make ip_tables reentrant) forgot to
also compute the jumpstack size in the compat handlers.

Result is that "iptables -I INPUT -j userchain" turns into -j DROP.

Reported by Sebastian Roesner on #netfilter, closes
http://bugzilla.netfilter.org/show_bug.cgi?id=669.

Note: arptables change is compile-tested only.

21dc330157 net: Rename skb_has_frags to skb_has_frag_list
SKBs can be "fragmented" in two ways, via a page array (called
skb_shinfo(skb)->frags[]) and via a list of SKBs (called
skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list).

Since skb_has_frags() tests the latter, it's name is confusing
since it sounds more like it's testing the former.
