The existing model for checksum offload does not correctly handle
devices that can offload IPV4 and IPV6 only. The NETIF_F_HW_CSUM flag
implies device can do any arbitrary protocol.
This patch:
* adds NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM for those devices
* fixes bnx2 and tg3 devices that need it
* add NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM to ipv6 output (incl GSO)
* fixes assumptions about NETIF_F_ALL_CSUM in nat
* adjusts bridge union of checksumming computation

Add a nested compat attribute type that can be used to convert
attributes that contain a structure to nested attributes in a
backwards compatible way.
The attribute looks like this:
struct {
[ compat contents ]
struct rtattr {
.rta_len = total size,
.rta_type = type,
} rta;
struct old_structure struct;
[ nested top-level attribute ]
struct rtattr {
.rta_len = nest size,
.rta_type = type,
} nest_attr;
[ optional 0 .. n nested attributes ]
struct rtattr {
.rta_len = private attribute len,
.rta_type = private attribute typ,
} nested_attr;
struct nested_data data;
};
Since both userspace and kernel deal correctly with attributes that are
larger than expected old versions will just parse the compat part and
ignore the rest.

Currently NAT (and others) that want to modify cloned skbs copy them,
even if in the vast majority of cases its not necessary because the
skb is a clone made by TCP and the portion NAT wants to modify is
actually writable because TCP release the header reference before
cloning.
The problem is that there is no clean way for NAT to find out how
long the writable header area is, so this patch introduces skb->hdr_len
to hold this length. When a headerless skb is cloned skb->hdr_len
is set to the current headroom, for regular clones it is copied from
the original. A new function skb_clone_writable(skb, len) returns
whether the skb is writable up to len bytes from skb->data. To avoid
enlarging the skb the mac_len field is reduced to 16 bit and the
new hdr_len field is put in the remaining 16 bit.
I've done a few rough benchmarks of NAT (not with this exact patch,
but a very similar one). As expected it saves huge amounts of system
time in case of sendfile, bringing it down to basically the same
amount as without NAT, with sendmsg it only helps on loopback,
probably because of the large MTU.
Transmit a 1GB file using sendfile/sendmsg over eth0/lo with and
without NAT:
- sendfile eth0, no NAT: sys 0m0.388s
- sendfile eth0, NAT: sys 0m1.835s
- sendfile eth0: NAT + path: sys 0m0.370s (~ -80%)
- sendfile lo, no NAT: sys 0m0.258s
- sendfile lo, NAT: sys 0m2.609s
- sendfile lo, NAT + patch: sys 0m0.260s (~ -90%)
- sendmsg eth0, no NAT: sys 0m2.508s
- sendmsg eth0, NAT: sys 0m2.539s
- sendmsg eth0, NAT + patch: sys 0m2.445s (no change)
- sendmsg lo, no NAT: sys 0m2.151s
- sendmsg lo, NAT: sys 0m3.557s

is of in the form ip:port, e.g. 192.168.1.1:5060, and 'delim' is set to

It makes sense to allow the colon as a delimiting character without
explicitly having to set it through the 'delim' variable as there can be
no ambiguity in the point where the ip address is completely parsed. This
function is indeed called from nf_conntrack_sip.c in this way to parse
textual ip:port combinations which fails due to the reason stated above.

The current IPSEC rule resolution behavior we have does not work for a
lot of people, even though technically it's an improvement from the
-EAGAIN buisness we had before.
Right now we'll block until the key manager resolves the route. That
works for simple cases, but many folks would rather packets get
silently dropped until the key manager resolves the IPSEC rules.
We can't tell these folks to "set the socket non-blocking" because
they don't have control over the non-block setting of things like the
sockets used to resolve DNS deep inside of the resolver libraries in
libc.
With that in mind I coded up the patch below with some help from
Herbert Xu which provides packet-drop behavior during larval state
resolution, controllable via sysctl and off by default.
This lays the framework to either:
1) Make this default at some point or...
2) Move this logic into xfrm{4,6}_policy.c and implement the
ARP-like resolution queue we've all been dreaming of.
The idea would be to queue packets to the policy, then
once the larval state is resolved by the key manager we
re-resolve the route and push the packets out. The
packets would timeout if the rule didn't get resolved
in a certain amount of time.

sys_setsockopt() do not check properly timeout values for
SO_RCVTIMEO/SO_SNDTIMEO, for example it's possible to set negative timeout
values. POSIX do not defines behaviour for sys_setsockopt in case negative
timeouts, but requires that setsockopt() shall fail with -EDOM if the send and
receive timeout values are too big to fit into the timeout fields in the socket
structure.
In current implementation negative timeout can lead to error messages like
"schedule_timeout: wrong timeout value".
Proposed patch:
- checks tv_usec and returns -EDOM if it is wrong
- do not allows to set negative timeout values (sets 0 instead) and outputs
ratelimited information message about such attempts.

is defined as up events when we're already up.

These days the link watch mechanism is an integral part of the
network subsystem as it manages the carrier status. So it now
makes sense to allocate some memory for it in net_device rather
than allocating it on demand.
In fact, this is necessary because we can't tolerate a memory
allocation failure since that means we'd have to potentially
throw a link up event away.
It also simplifies the code greatly.
In doing so I discovered a subtle race condition in the use
of singleevent. This race condition still exists (and is
somewhat magnified) without singleevent but it's now plugged
thanks to an smp_mb__before_clear_bit.

Since nonboot CPUs are now disabled after tasks and devices have been
frozen and the CPU hotplug infrastructure is used for this purpose, we need
special CPU hotplug notifications that will help the CPU-hotplug-aware
subsystems distinguish normal CPU hotplug events from CPU hotplug events
related to a system-wide suspend or resume operation in progress. This
patch introduces such notifications and causes them to be used during
suspend and resume transitions. It also changes all of the
CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems to take these notifications into consideration
(for now they are handled in the same way as the corresponding "normal"
ones).

I noticed recently that, in skb_checksum(), "offset" and "start" are
essentially the same thing and have the same value throughout the

allows some cleanups and makes the skb_checksum() function smaller,
more readable, and presumably marginally faster.
We appear to have many other "sk_buff walker" functions built on the
exact same model, so the cleanup applies to them, too. Here is a list
of the functions I found to be affected:
net/appletalk/ddp.c:atalk_sum_skb()
