010c0b9f34 netfilter: nf_nat: support mangling a single TCP packet multiple times
nf_nat_mangle_tcp_packet() can currently only handle a single mangling
per window because it only maintains two sequence adjustment positions:
the one before the last adjustment and the one after.

This patch makes sequence number adjustment tracking in
nf_nat_mangle_tcp_packet() optional and allows a helper to manually
update the offsets after the packet has been fully handled.

f5b321bd37 netfilter: nf_conntrack_sip: add TCP support
Add TCP support, which is mandated by RFC3261 for all SIP elements.

SIP over TCP is similar to UDP, except that messages are delimited
by Content-Length: headers and multiple messages may appear in one
packet.

3b6b9fab42 netfilter: nf_conntrack_sip: pass data offset to NAT functions
When using TCP multiple SIP messages might be present in a single packet.
A following patch will parse them by setting the dptr to the beginning of
each message. The NAT helper needs to reload the dptr value after mangling
the packet however, so it needs to know the offset of the message to the
beginning of the packet.

e3eaa9910b netfilter: xtables: generate initial table on-demand
The static initial tables are pretty large, and after the net
namespace has been instantiated, they just hang around for nothing.
This commit removes them and creates tables on-demand at runtime when
needed.

Size shrinks by 7735 bytes (x86_64).

2b95efe7f6 netfilter: xtables: use xt_table for hook instantiation
The respective xt_table structures already have most of the metadata
needed for hook setup. Add a 'priority' field to struct xt_table so
that xt_hook_link() can be called with a reduced number of arguments.

So should we be having more tables in the future, it comes at no
static cost (only runtime, as before) - space saved:
6807373->6806555.

d696c7bdaa netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix hash resizing with namespaces
As noticed by Jon Masters <jonathan@jonmasters.org>, the conntrack hash
size is global and not per namespace, but modifiable at runtime through
/sys/module/nf_conntrack/hashsize. Changing the hash size will only
resize the hash in the current namespace however, so other namespaces
will use an invalid hash size. This can cause crashes when enlarging
the hashsize, or false negative lookups when shrinking it.

Move the hash size into the per-namespace data and only use the global
hash size to initialize the per-namespace value when instanciating a
new namespace. Additionally restrict hash resizing to init_net for
now as other namespaces are not handled currently.

d7c7544c3d netns xfrm: deal with dst entries in netns
GC is non-existent in netns, so after you hit GC threshold, no new
dst entries will be created until someone triggers cleanup in init_net.

Make xfrm4_dst_ops and xfrm6_dst_ops per-netns.
This is not done in a generic way, because it woule waste
(AF_MAX - 2) * sizeof(struct dst_ops) bytes per-netns.

Reorder GC threshold initialization so it'd be done before registering

e9017b5518 IP: Send an ICMP "Fragment Reassembly Timeout" message when enabling connection track
No matter whether connection track is enabled, an end host should send 
an ICMPv4 "Fragment Reassembly Timeout" message when defrag timeout. 
The reasons are following two points:  

1. RFC 792 says:
   >>>> >> > >   If a host reassembling a fragmented datagram cannot complete the
   >>>> >> > >   reassembly due to missing fragments within its time limit it
   >>>> >> > >   discards the datagram, and it may send a time exceeded message.
   >>>> >> > > 
   >>>> >> > >   If fragment zero is not available then no time exceeded need be
   >>>> >> > >   sent at all.
   >>>> >> > > 
   >>>> >> > > Read more: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc792.html#ixzz0aOXRD7Wp

2. Patrick McHardy also agrees with this opinion.   :-)   
   About the discussion of this opinion, refer to http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/41649

The patch fixed the problem like this:
When enabling connection track, fragments are received at PRE_ROUTING HOOK.
If they are failed to reassemble, ip_expire() will be called. 
Before sending an ICMP "Fragment Reassembly Timeout" message, 
the patch searches router table to get the destination entry only for host type.

The patch has been tested on both host type and route type.

If the per device ARP_ACCEPT option is enable, currently we only allow
creating new ARP cache entries for response type gratuitous ARP.

Allowing gratuitous ARP to create new ARP entries (not only to update

This patch allows request type gratuitous ARP to create new ARP cache
entries as well. This is useful when we want to populate the ARP cache
entries for a large number of hosts on the same LAN.

This patch fixes this issue. In the process we also rename the v4/v6

request_socket operations (syn_ack_timeout) so we can keep code in
inet_connection_sock.c protocol agnostic.

This patch adds the kernel portions needed to implement

It is a lightweight security measure against forged

This is already implemented the same way in BSD kernels.
For the necessary Quagga patch

Description from Cisco
  http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_3t/12_3t7/feature/guide/gt_btsh.html

It does add one byte to each socket structure, but I did
a little rearrangement to reuse a hole (on 64 bit), but it
does grow the structure on 32 bit

This should be documented on ip(4) man page and the Glibc in.h
file also needs update.  IPV6_MINHOPLIMIT should also be added
(although BSD doesn't support that).  

Only TCP is supported, but could also be added to UDP, DCCP, SCTP
if desired.

65324144b5 net: RFC3069, private VLAN proxy arp support
This is to be used together with switch technologies, like RFC3069,
that where the individual ports are not allowed to communicate with
each other, but they are allowed to talk to the upstream router.  As
described in RFC 3069, it is possible to allow these hosts to
communicate through the upstream router by proxy_arp'ing.

This patch basically allow proxy arp replies back to the same
interface (from which the ARP request/solicitation was received).

Tunable per device via proc "proxy_arp_pvlan":
  /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/proxy_arp_pvlan

This switch technology is known by different vendor names:
 - In RFC 3069 it is called VLAN Aggregation.
 - Cisco and Allied Telesyn call it Private VLAN.
 - Hewlett-Packard call it Source-Port filtering or port-isolation.
 - Ericsson call it MAC-Forced Forwarding (RFC Draft).

7ad6848c7e ip: fix mc_loop checks for tunnels with multicast outer addresses
When we have L3 tunnels with different inner/outer families
(i.e. IPV4/IPV6) which use a multicast address as the outer tunnel
destination address, multicast packets will be loopbacked back to the
sending socket even if IP*_MULTICAST_LOOP is set to disabled.

The mc_loop flag is present in the family specific part of the socket
(e.g. the IPv4 or IPv4 specific part).  setsockopt sets the inner
family mc_loop flag. When the packet is pushed through the L3 tunnel
it will eventually be processed by the outer family which if different
will check the flag in a different part of the socket then it was set.

28f6aeea3f net: restore ip source validation
when using policy routing and the skb mark:
there are cases where a back path validation requires us
to use a different routing table for src ip validation than
the one used for mapping ingress dst ip.
One such a case is transparent proxying where we pretend to be
the destination system and therefore the local table
is used for incoming packets but possibly a main table would
be used on outbound.
Make the default behavior to allow the above and if users
need to turn on the symmetry via sysctl src_valid_mark

31d12926e3 net: Add rtnetlink init_rcvwnd to set the TCP initial receive window
Add rtnetlink init_rcvwnd to set the TCP initial receive window size
advertised by passive and active TCP connections.
The current Linux TCP implementation limits the advertised TCP initial
receive window to the one prescribed by slow start. For short lived
TCP connections used for transaction type of traffic (i.e. http
requests), bounding the advertised TCP initial receive window results
in increased latency to complete the transaction.
Support for setting initial congestion window is already supported
using rtnetlink init_cwnd, but the feature is useless without the
ability to set a larger TCP initial receive window.
The rtnetlink init_rcvwnd allows increasing the TCP initial receive
window, allowing TCP connection to advertise larger TCP receive window
than the ones bounded by slow start.

def87cf420 tcp: Slightly optimize tcp_sendmsg
Slightly optimize tcp_sendmsg since NETIF_F_SG is used many
times iteratively in the loop. The only other modification is
to change:
			} else if (i == MAX_SKB_FRAGS ||
				   (!i &&
				   !(sk->sk_route_caps & NETIF_F_SG))) {
	to:
			} else if (i == MAX_SKB_FRAGS || !sg) {

The reason why this change is correct: this code (other than
the MAX_SKB_FRAGS case) executes only due to the else part
of: "if (skb_tailroom(skb) > 0) {" - i.e. there was no space
in the skb to put the data inline. Hence SG is false is a
sufficient condition, and there is no way a fragment can be
added to the skb.

Changelog:
	- Added the above explanation for the change
