fee9dee730 [UDP]: Make use of inet_iif() when doing socket lookups.
UDP currently uses skb->dev->ifindex which may provide the wrong
information when the socket bound to a specific interface.
This patch makes inet_iif() accessible to UDP and makes UDP use it.

The scenario we are trying to fix is when a client is running on
the same system and the server and both client and server bind to
a non-loopback device.

a9de924806 [Bluetooth] Switch from OGF+OCF to using only opcodes
The Bluetooth HCI commands are divided into logical OGF groups for
easier identification of their purposes. While this still makes sense
for the written specification, its makes the code only more complex
and harder to read. So instead of using separate OGF and OCF values
to identify the commands, use a common 16-bit opcode that combines
both values. As a side effect this also reduces the complexity of
OGF and OCF calculations during command header parsing.

ba25f9dcc4 Use helpers to obtain task pid in printks
The task_struct->pid member is going to be deprecated, so start
using the helpers (task_pid_nr/task_pid_vnr/task_pid_nr_ns) in
the kernel.

The first thing to start with is the pid, printed to dmesg - in
this case we may safely use task_pid_nr(). Besides, printks produce
more (much more) than a half of all the explicit pid usage.

b488893a39 pid namespaces: changes to show virtual ids to user
This is the largest patch in the set. Make all (I hope) the places where
the pid is shown to or get from user operate on the virtual pids.

The idea is:
 - all in-kernel data structures must store either struct pid itself
   or the pid's global nr, obtained with pid_nr() call;
 - when seeking the task from kernel code with the stored id one
   should use find_task_by_pid() call that works with global pids;
 - when showing pid's numerical value to the user the virtual one
   should be used, but however when one shows task's pid outside this
   task's namespace the global one is to be used;
 - when getting the pid from userspace one need to consider this as
   the virtual one and use appropriate task/pid-searching functions.

13996378e6 [IPSEC]: Rename mode to outer_mode and add inner_mode
This patch adds a new field to xfrm states called inner_mode.  The existing
mode object is renamed to outer_mode.

This is the first part of an attempt to fix inter-family transforms.  As it
is we always use the outer family when determining which mode to use.  As a
result we may end up shoving IPv4 packets into netfilter6 and vice versa.

What we really want is to use the inner family for the first part of outbound
processing and the outer family for the second part.  For inbound processing
we'd use the opposite pairing.

I've also added a check to prevent silly combinations such as transport mode
with inter-family transforms.

17c2a42a24 [IPSEC]: Store afinfo pointer in xfrm_mode
It is convenient to have a pointer from xfrm_state to address-specific
functions such as the output function for a family.  Currently the
address-specific policy code calls out to the xfrm state code to get
those pointers when we could get it in an easier way via the state
itself.

This patch adds an xfrm_state_afinfo to xfrm_mode (since they're
address-specific) and changes the policy code to use it.  I've also
added an owner field to do reference counting on the module providing
the afinfo even though it isn't strictly necessary today since IPv6
can't be unloaded yet.

1bfcb10f67 [IPSEC]: Add missing BEET checks
Currently BEET mode does not reinject the packet back into the stack
like tunnel mode does.  Since BEET should behave just like tunnel mode
this is incorrect.

This patch fixes this by introducing a flags field to xfrm_mode that
tells the IPsec code whether it should terminate and reinject the packet
back into the stack.

It then sets the flag for BEET and tunnel mode.

I've also added a number of missing BEET checks elsewhere where we check
whether a given mode is a tunnel or not.

aa5d62cc87 [IPSEC]: Move type and mode map into xfrm_state.c
The type and mode maps are only used by SAs, not policies.  So it makes
sense to move them from xfrm_policy.c into xfrm_state.c.  This also allows
us to mark xfrm_get_type/xfrm_put_type/xfrm_get_mode/xfrm_put_mode as
static.

The only other change I've made in the move is to get rid of the casts
on the request_module call for types.  They're unnecessary because C
will promote them to ints anyway.

47e958eac2 [NET]: Fix the race between sk_filter_(de|at)tach and sk_clone()
The proposed fix is to delay the reference counter decrement
until the quiescent state pass. This will give sk_clone() a

Regular sk_filter_uncharge can happen from the sk_free() only
and there's no need in delaying the put - the socket is dead
anyway and is to be release itself.

ba17674fe0 9p: attach-per-user
The 9P2000 protocol requires the authentication and permission checks to be
done in the file server. For that reason every user that accesses the file
server tree has to authenticate and attach to the server separately.
Multiple users can share the same connection to the server.

Currently v9fs does a single attach and executes all I/O operations as a
single user. This makes using v9fs in multiuser environment unsafe as it
depends on the client doing the permission checking.

This patch improves the 9P2000 support by allowing every user to attach
separately. The patch defines three modes of access (new mount option
'access'):

- attach-per-user (access=user) (default mode for 9P2000.u)
 If a user tries to access a file served by v9fs for the first time, v9fs
 sends an attach command to the server (Tattach) specifying the user. If
 the attach succeeds, the user can access the v9fs tree.
 As there is no uname->uid (string->integer) mapping yet, this mode works
 only with the 9P2000.u dialect.

- allow only one user to access the tree (access=<uid>)
 Only the user with uid can access the v9fs tree. Other users that attempt
 to access it will get EPERM error.

- do all operations as a single user (access=any) (default for 9P2000)
 V9fs does a single attach and all operations are done as a single user.
 If this mode is selected, the v9fs behavior is identical with the current
 one.

cd40b7d398 [NET]: make netlink user -> kernel interface synchronious
This patch make processing netlink user -> kernel messages synchronious.
This change was inspired by the talk with Alexey Kuznetsov about current
netlink messages processing. He says that he was badly wrong when introduced 
asynchronious user -> kernel communication.

The call netlink_unicast is the only path to send message to the kernel
netlink socket. But, unfortunately, it is also used to send data to the
user.

Before this change the user message has been attached to the socket queue
and sk->sk_data_ready was called. The process has been blocked until all
pending messages were processed. The bad thing is that this processing
may occur in the arbitrary process context.

This patch changes nlk->data_ready callback to get 1 skb and force packet
processing right in the netlink_unicast.

Kernel -> user path in netlink_unicast remains untouched.

EINTR processing for in netlink_run_queue was changed. It forces rtnl_lock
drop, but the process remains in the cycle until the message will be fully
processed. So, there is no need to use this kludges now.

227b60f510 [INET]: local port range robustness
Expansion of original idea from Denis V. Lunev <den@openvz.org>

Add robustness and locking to the local_port_range sysctl.
1. Enforce that low < high when setting.
2. Use seqlock to ensure atomic update.

The locking might seem like overkill, but there are
cases where sysadmin might want to change value in the
middle of a DoS attack.

0639300900 [SCTP]: port randomization
Add port randomization rather than a simple fixed rover
for use with SCTP.  This makes it act similar to TCP, UDP, DCCP
when allocating ports.

No longer need port_alloc_lock as well (suggestion by Brian Haley).

87bdc48d30 [IPSEC]: Get rid of ipv6_{auth,esp,comp}_hdr
This patch removes the duplicate ipv6_{auth,esp,comp}_hdr structures since
they're identical to the IPv4 versions.  Duplicating them would only create
problems for ourselves later when we need to add things like extended
sequence numbers.

I've also added transport header type conversion headers for these types
which are now used by the transforms.

37fedd3aab [IPSEC]: Use IPv6 calling convention as the convention for x->mode->output
The IPv6 calling convention for x->mode->output is more general and could
help an eventual protocol-generic x->type->output implementation.  This
patch adopts it for IPv4 as well and modifies the IPv4 type output functions
accordingly.

It also rewrites the IPv6 mac/transport header calculation to be based off
the network header where practical.

658b219e93 [IPSEC]: Move common code into xfrm_alloc_spi
This patch moves some common code that conceptually belongs to the xfrm core
from af_key/xfrm_user into xfrm_alloc_spi.

In particular, the spin lock on the state is now taken inside xfrm_alloc_spi.
Previously it also protected the construction of the response PF_KEY/XFRM
messages to user-space.  This is inconsistent as other identical constructions
are not protected by the state lock.  This is bad because they in fact should
be protected but only in certain spots (so as not to hold the lock for too
long which may cause packet drops).

The SPI byte order conversion has also been moved.
