f6318e5588 netfilter: fix module dependency issues with IPv6 defragmentation, ip6tables and xt_TPROXY
One of the previous tproxy related patches split IPv6 defragmentation and
connection tracking, but did not correctly add Kconfig stanzas to handle the
new dependencies correctly. This patch fixes that by making the config options
mirror the setup we have for IPv4: a distinct config option for defragmentation
that is automatically selected by both connection tracking and
xt_TPROXY/xt_socket.

The patch also changes the #ifdefs enclosing IPv6 specific code in xt_socket
and xt_TPROXY: we only compile these in case we have ip6tables support enabled.

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.

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()...

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

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

5bfddbd46a netfilter: nf_conntrack: IPS_UNTRACKED bit
NOTRACK makes all cpus share a cache line on nf_conntrack_untracked
twice per packet. This is bad for performance.
__read_mostly annotation is also a bad choice.

This patch introduces IPS_UNTRACKED bit so that we can use later a
per_cpu untrack structure more easily.

A new helper, nf_ct_untracked_get() returns a pointer to
nf_conntrack_untracked.

Another one, nf_ct_untracked_status_or() is used by nf_nat_init() to add
IPS_NAT_DONE_MASK bits to untracked status.

nf_ct_is_untracked() prototype is changed to work on a nf_conn pointer.

f3c5c1bfd4 netfilter: xtables: make ip_tables reentrant
Currently, the table traverser stores return addresses in the ruleset
itself (struct ip6t_entry->comefrom). This has a well-known drawback:
the jumpstack is overwritten on reentry, making it necessary for
targets to return absolute verdicts. Also, the ruleset (which might
be heavy memory-wise) needs to be replicated for each CPU that can
possibly invoke ip6t_do_table.

This patch decouples the jumpstack from struct ip6t_entry and instead
puts it into xt_table_info. Not being restricted by 'comefrom'
anymore, we can set up a stack as needed. By default, there is room
allocated for two entries into the traverser.

arp_tables is not touched though, because there is just one/two
modules and further patches seek to collapse the table traverser
anyhow.

5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.
