f15364bd4c IPv6 support for NFS server export caches
This adds IPv6 support to the interfaces that are used to express nfsd
exports.  All addressed are stored internally as IPv6; backwards
compatibility is maintained using mapped addresses.

c5d18e984a [IPSEC]: Fix catch-22 with algorithm IDs above 31
As it stands it's impossible to use any authentication algorithms
with an ID above 31 portably.  It just happens to work on x86 but
fails miserably on ppc64.

The reason is that we're using a bit mask to check the algorithm
ID but the mask is only 32 bits wide.

After looking at how this is used in the field, I have concluded
that in the long term we should phase out state matching by IDs
because this is made superfluous by the reqid feature.  For current
applications, the best solution IMHO is to allow all algorithms when
the bit masks are all ~0.

The following patch does exactly that.

This bug was identified by IBM when testing on the ppc64 platform
using the NULL authentication algorithm which has an ID of 251.

e56d8b8a2e [INET]: Drop the inet_inherit_port() call.
As I can see from the code, two places (tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock and
dccp_v6_request_recv_sock) that call this one already run with
BHs disabled, so it's safe to call __inet_inherit_port there.

Besides (in case I missed smth with code review) the calltrace
tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock
 `- tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock
     `- __inet_inherit_port
and the similar for DCCP are valid, but assumes BHs to be disabled.

d18ef29f34 mac80211: no BSS changes to driver from beacons processed during scanning
There is no need to send BSS changes to driver from beacons processed
during scanning. We are more interested in beacons from an AP with which
we are associated - these will still be used to send updates to driver as
the beacons are received without scanning.

This change·removes the requirement that bss_info_changed needs to be atomic.
The beacons received during scanning are processed from a tasklet, but if we
do not call bss_info_changed for these beacons there is no need for it to be
atomic. This function (bss_info_changed) is called either from workqueue or
ioctl in all other instances.

dec827d174 [NETNS]: The generic per-net pointers.
Add the elastic array of void * pointer to the struct net.
The access rules are simple:

 1. register the ops with register_pernet_gen_device to get
    the id of your private pointer
 2. call net_assign_generic() to put the private data on the
    struct net (most preferably this should be done in the
    ->init callback of the ops registered)
 3. do not store any private reference on the net_generic array;
 4. do not change this pointer while the net is alive;
 5. use the net_generic() to get the pointer.

When adding a new pointer, I copy the old array, replace it
with a new one and schedule the old for kfree after an RCU
grace period.

Since the net_generic explores the net->gen array inside rcu
read section and once set the net->gen->ptr[x] pointer never 
changes, this grants us a safe access to generic pointers.

Quoting Paul: "... RCU is protecting -only- the net_generic 
structure that net_generic() is traversing, and the [pointer]
returned by net_generic() is protected by a reference counter 
in the upper-level struct net."

c93cf61fd1 [NETNS]: The net-subsys IDs generator.
To make some per-net generic pointers, we need some way to address
them, i.e. - IDs. This is simple IDA-based IDs generator for pernet
subsystems.

Addressing questions about potential checkpoint/restart problems: 
these IDs are "lite-offsets" within the net structure and are by no 
means supposed to be exported to the userspace.

Since it will be used in the nearest future by devices only (tun,
vlan, tunnels, bridge, etc), I make it resemble the functionality
of register_pernet_device().

The new ids is stored in the *id pointer _before_ calling the init
callback to make this id available in this callback.

0c3141e910 [TIPC]: Overhaul of socket locking logic
This patch modifies TIPC's socket code to follow the same approach
used by other protocols.  This change eliminates the need for a
mutex in the TIPC-specific portion of the socket protocol data
structure -- in its place, the standard Linux socket backlog queue
and associated locking routines are utilized.  These changes fix
a long-standing receive queue bug on SMP systems, and also enable
individual read and write threads to utilize a socket without
unnecessarily interfering with each other.

dd13b01036 [NETFILTER]: nf_nat: kill helper and seq_adjust hooks
Connection tracking helpers (specifically FTP) need to be called
before NAT sequence numbers adjustments are performed to be able
to compare them against previously seen ones. We've introduced
two new hooks around 2.6.11 to maintain this ordering when NAT
modules were changed to get called from conntrack helpers directly.

The cost of netfilter hooks is quite high and sequence number
adjustments are only rarely needed however. Add a RCU-protected
sequence number adjustment function pointer and call it from
IPv4 conntrack after calling the helper.

Adding extensions to confirmed conntracks is not allowed to avoid races
on reallocation. Don't setup NAT for confirmed conntracks in case NAT
module is loaded late.

The has one side-effect, the connections existing before the NAT module
was loaded won't enter the bysource hash. The only case where this actually
makes a difference is in case of SNAT to a multirange where the IP before
NAT is also part of the range. Since old connections don't enter the
bysource hash the first new connection from the IP will have a new address
selected. This shouldn't matter at all.

4dfc281702 [Syncookies]: Add support for TCP options via timestamps.
Allow the use of SACK and window scaling when syncookies are used
and the client supports tcp timestamps. Options are encoded into
the timestamp sent in the syn-ack and restored from the timestamp
echo when the ack is received.

Based on earlier work by Glenn Griffin.
This patch avoids increasing the size of structs by encoding TCP
options into the least significant bits of the timestamp and
by not using any 'timestamp offset'.

The downside is that the timestamp sent in the packet after the synack
will increase by several seconds.

changes since v1:
 don't duplicate timestamp echo decoding function, put it into ipv4/syncookie.c
 and have ipv6/syncookies.c use it.
 Feedback from Glenn Griffin: fix line indented with spaces, kill redundant if ()
