This changes the uevent buffer functions to use a struct instead of a
long list of parameters. It does no longer require the caller to do the
proper buffer termination and size accounting, which is currently wrong
in some places. It fixes a known bug where parts of the uevent
environment are overwritten because of wrong index calculations.

This addition of lost_retrans_low to tcp_sock might be

Detection implemented with lost_retrans must work also when
fastpath is taken, yet most of the queue is skipped including
(very likely) those retransmitted skb's we're interested in.
This problem appeared when the hints got added, which removed
a need to always walk over the whole write queue head.
Therefore decicion for the lost_retrans worker loop entry must
be separated from the sacktag processing more than it was
necessary before.
It turns out to be problematic to optimize the worker loop
very heavily because ack_seqs of skb may have a number of
discontinuity points. Maybe similar approach as currently is
implemented could be attempted but that's becoming more and
more complex because the trend is towards less skb walking
in sacktag marker. Trying a simple work until all rexmitted
skbs heve been processed approach.
Maybe after(highest_sack_end_seq, tp->high_seq) checking is not
sufficiently accurate and causes entry too often in no-work-to-do
cases. Since that's not known, I've separated solution to that
from this patch.
Noticed because of report against a related problem from TAKANO
Ryousei <takano@axe-inc.co.jp>. He also provided a patch to
that part of the problem. This patch includes solution to it
(though this patch has to use somewhat different placement).
TAKANO's description and patch is available here:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=119149311913288&w=2
...In short, TAKANO's problem is that end_seq the loop is using
not necessarily the largest SACK block's end_seq because the
current ACK may still have higher SACK blocks which are later
by the loop.

I was reading tcp_enter_loss while looking for Cedric's bug and
noticed bytes_acked adjustment is missing from FRTO side.
Since bytes_acked will only be used in tcp_cong_avoid, I think
it's safe to assume RTO would be spurious. During FRTO cwnd
will be not controlled by tcp_cong_avoid and if FRTO calls for
conventional recovery, cwnd is adjusted and the result of wrong
assumption is cleared from bytes_acked. If RTO was in fact
spurious, we did normal ABC already and can continue without
any additional adjustments.

support to control which options are exported could be easily added.
A new rtnetlink message type is defined, to transport Neighbor

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.

netlink_run_queue(sk, qlen, &rtnetlink_rcv_msg);

Problem description by Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org>:
"This sequence of events causes loss of connectivity:

ifconfig eth7 down
iwconfig eth7 mode monitor
ifconfig eth7 up

<associate as normal>
At this point you are associated but TX does not work. This is because
the eth7 hard_start_xmit is still ieee80211_monitor_start_xmit."
The problem is caused by ieee80211_if_set_type checking for a non-zero
hard_start_xmit pointer value in order to avoid changing that value for
master devices. The fix is to make that check more explicitly linked to
master devices rather than simply checking if the value has been
previously set.

Here's a good example of code duplication leading to code rot. The
notification patch did its own netlink message creation for xfrm states.
It duplicated code that was already in dump_one_state. Guess what, the
next time (and the time after) when someone updated dump_one_state the
notification path got zilch.
This patch moves that code from dump_one_state to copy_to_user_state_extra
and uses it in xfrm_notify_sa too. Unfortunately whoever updates this
still needs to update xfrm_sa_len since the notification path wants to
know the exact size for allocation.
At least I've added a comment saying so and if someone still forgest, we'll
have a WARN_ON telling us so.
I also changed the security size calculation to use xfrm_user_sec_ctx since
that's what we actually put into the skb. However it makes no practical

This patch moves some common code that conceptually belongs to the xfrm core

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).

Current the x->mode->output functions store the IPv6 nh pointer in the
skb network header. This is inconvenient because the network header then
has to be fixed up before the packet can leave the IPsec stack. The mac
header field is unused on output so we can use that to store this instead.
This patch does that and removes the network header fix-up in xfrm_output.
It also uses ipv6_hdr where appropriate in the x->type->output functions.
There is also a minor clean-up in esp4 to make it use the same code as
esp6 to help any subsequent effort to merge the two.

With the net namespaces many code leaved the __init section,
thus making the kernel occupy more memory than it did before.
Since we have a config option that prohibits the namespace
creation, the functions that initialize/finalize some netns
stuff are simply not needed and can be freed after the boot.
Currently, this is almost not noticeable, since few calls
are no longer in __init, but when the namespaces will be
merged it will be possible to free more code. I propose to
use the __net_init, __net_exit and __net_initdata "attributes"
for functions/variables that are not used if the CONFIG_NET_NS
is not set to save more space in memory.
The exiting functions cannot just reside in the __exit section,
as noticed by David, since the init section will have
references on it and the compilation will fail due to modpost
checks. These references can exist, since the init namespace
never dies and the exit callbacks are never called. So I
introduce the __exit_refok attribute just like it is already
done with the __init_refok.
