c720c7e838 inet: rename some inet_sock fields
In order to have better cache layouts of struct sock (separate zones
for rx/tx paths), we need this preliminary patch.

Goal is to transfert fields used at lookup time in the first
read-mostly cache line (inside struct sock_common) and move sk_refcnt
to a separate cache line (only written by rx path)

This patch adds inet_ prefix to daddr, rcv_saddr, dport, num, saddr,
sport and id fields. This allows a future patch to define these
fields as macros, like sk_refcnt, without name clashes.

51953d5bc4 Use sk_mark for IPv6 routing lookups

Ok, I'll just drop that part, I'm not sure what should be done in this case.

> Also, in this patch you are doing that for SIT (v6-in-v4) tunnels only, and not doing it for v4-in-v6 or v6-in-v6 tunnels. Any reason for that?

I just sent that patch out too quickly, here's a better one with the updates.

Add support for IPv6 route lookups using sk_mark.

b7058842c9 net: Make setsockopt() optlen be unsigned.
This provides safety against negative optlen at the type
level instead of depending upon (sometimes non-trivial)
checks against this sprinkled all over the the place, in
each and every implementation.

Based upon work done by Arjan van de Ven and feedback
from Linus Torvalds.

26ced1e4aa inet6: Set default traffic class
This patch addresses:
 * assigning -1 to np->tclass as it is currently done is not very meaningful,
   since it turns into 0xff;
 * RFC 3542, 6.5 allows -1 for clearing the sticky IPV6_TCLASS option
   and specifies -1 to mean "use kernel default":
   - RFC 2460, 7. requires that the default traffic class must be zero for
     all 8 bits,
   - this is consistent with RFC 2474, 4.1 which recommends a default PHB of 0,
     in combination with a value of the ECN field of "non-ECT" (RFC 3168, 5.).

This patch changes the meaning of -1 from assigning 255 to mean the RFC 2460
default, which at the same time allows to satisfy clearing the sticky TCLASS
option as per RFC 3542, 6.5.

(When passing -1 as ancillary data, the fallback remains np->tclass, which
 has either been set via socket options, or contains the default value.)

ce8632ba6b ipv6:remove useless check
After switch (rthdr->type) {...},the check below is completely useless.Because:
if the type is 2,then hdrlen must be 2 and segments_left must be 1,clearly the
check is redundant;if the type is not 2,then goto sticky_done,the check is useless

b24a2516d1 ipv6: Add IPV6_PKTINFO sticky option support to setsockopt()
There are three reasons for me to add this support:
1.When no interface is specified in an IPV6_PKTINFO ancillary data
  item, the interface specified in an IPV6_PKTINFO sticky optionis 
  is used.

RFC3542:
6.7.  Summary of Outgoing Interface Selection

   This document and [RFC-3493] specify various methods that affect the
   selection of the packet's outgoing interface.  This subsection
   summarizes the ordering among those in order to ensure deterministic
   behavior.

   For a given outgoing packet on a given socket, the outgoing interface
   is determined in the following order:

   1. if an interface is specified in an IPV6_PKTINFO ancillary data
      item, the interface is used.

   2. otherwise, if an interface is specified in an IPV6_PKTINFO sticky
      option, the interface is used.

2.When no IPV6_PKTINFO ancillary data is received,getsockopt() should 
  return the sticky option value which set with setsockopt().

RFC 3542:
   Issuing getsockopt() for the above options will return the sticky
   option value i.e., the value set with setsockopt().  If no sticky
   option value has been set getsockopt() will return the following
   values:

EINVAL instead of EPERM.  Noticed by Shan Wei

db8dac20d5 [UDP]: Revert udplite and code split.
This reverts commit db1ed684f6 ("[IPV6]
UDP: Rename IPv6 UDP files."), commit
8be8af8fa4 ("[IPV4] UDP: Move
IPv4-specific bits to other file.") and commit
e898d4db27 ("[UDP]: Allow users to
configure UDP-Lite.").

First, udplite is of such small cost, and it is a core protocol just
like TCP and normal UDP are.

We spent enormous amounts of effort to make udplite share as much code
with core UDP as possible.  All of that work is less valuable if we're
just going to slap a config option on udplite support.

It is also causing build failures, as reported on linux-next, showing
that the changeset was not tested very well.  In fact, this is the
second build failure resulting from the udplite change.

Finally, the config options provided was a bool, instead of a modular
option.  Meaning the udplite code does not even get build tested
by allmodconfig builds, and furthermore the user is not presented
with a reasonable modular build option which is particularly needed
by distribution vendors.

This patchset makes the different protocols to return an error code, so
the af_inet6 module can check the initialization was correct or not.

The raw6 was taken into account to be consistent with the rest of the
protocols, but the registration is at the same place.
Because the raw6 has its own init function, the proto and the ops structure
can be moved inside the raw6.c file.

cf6fc4a924 [IPV6]: Fix the return value of ipv6_getsockopt
If CONFIG_NETFILTER if not selected when compile the kernel source code, 
ipv6_getsockopt will returen an EINVAL error if optname is not supported by
the kernel. But if CONFIG_NETFILTER is selected, ENOPROTOOPT error will 
be return.

This patch fix to always return ENOPROTOOPT error if optname argument of 
ipv6_getsockopt is not supported by the kernel.

4953f0fcc0 [IPv6]: Update setsockopt(IPV6_MULTICAST_IF) to support RFC 3493, try2
From RFC 3493, Section 5.2:

       IPV6_MULTICAST_IF

          Set the interface to use for outgoing multicast packets.  The
          argument is the index of the interface to use.  If the
          interface index is specified as zero, the system selects the
          interface (for example, by looking up the address in a routing
          table and using the resulting interface).

This patch adds support for (index == 0) to reset the value to it's 
original state, allowing the system to choose the best interface.  IPv4 
already behaves this way.

cfcabdcc2d [NET]: sparse warning fixes
Fix a bunch of sparse warnings. Mostly about 0 used as
NULL pointer, and shadowed variable declarations.
One notable case was that hash size should have been unsigned.

881d966b48 [NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace.
This patch makes most of the generic device layer network
namespace safe.  This patch makes dev_base_head a
network namespace variable, and then it picks up
a few associated variables.  The functions:
dev_getbyhwaddr
dev_getfirsthwbytype
dev_get_by_flags
dev_get_by_name
__dev_get_by_name
dev_get_by_index
__dev_get_by_index
dev_ioctl
dev_ethtool
dev_load
wireless_process_ioctl

were modified to take a network namespace argument, and
deal with it.

vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their
hooks will receive a network namespace argument.

So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was
affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle
multiple network namespaces.  The rest of the network stack was
simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network
namespace.  This can be fixed when those components of the network
stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces.

For now the ifindex generator is left global.

Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else
we will have corner case problems with migration when
we get that far.

At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack
that the ifindex of a network device won't change.  Making
the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until
the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when
you change namespaces, and the like.
