a9e527e3f9 IPoIB: improve IPv4/IPv6 to IB mcast mapping functions
An IPoIB subnet on an IB fabric that spans multiple IB subnets can't
use link-local scope in multicast GIDs.  The existing routines that
map IP/IPv6 multicast addresses into IB link-level addresses hard-code
the scope to link-local, and they also leave the partition key field
uninitialised.  This patch adds a parameter (the link-level broadcast
address) to the mapping routines, allowing them to initialise both the
scope and the P_Key appropriately, and fixes up the call sites.

The next step will be to add a way to configure the scope for an IPoIB
interface.

f945fa7ad9 [INET]: Fix truesize setting in ip_append_data
As it is ip_append_data only counts page fragments to the skb that
allocated it.  As such it means that the first skb gets hit with a
4K charge even though it might have only used a fraction of it while
all subsequent skb's that use the same page gets away with no charge
at all.

This bug was exposed by the UDP accounting patch.

398bcbebb6 [IPV6] ROUTE: Make sending algorithm more friendly with RFC 4861.
We omit (or delay) sending NSes for known-to-unreachable routers (in
NUD_FAILED state) according to RFC 4191 (Default Router Preferences
and More-Specific Routes).  But this is not fully compatible with RFC
4861 (Neighbor Discovery Protocol for IPv6), which does not remember
unreachability of neighbors.

So, let's avoid mixing sending algorithm of RFC 4191 and that of RFC
4861, and make the algorithm more friendly with RFC 4861 if RFC 4191
is disabled.

230140cffa [INET]: Remove per bucket rwlock in tcp/dccp ehash table.
As done two years ago on IP route cache table (commit
22c047ccbc) , we can avoid using one
lock per hash bucket for the huge TCP/DCCP hash tables.

On a typical x86_64 platform, this saves about 2MB or 4MB of ram, for
litle performance differences. (we hit a different cache line for the
rwlock, but then the bucket cache line have a better sharing factor
among cpus, since we dirty it less often). For netstat or ss commands
that want a full scan of hash table, we perform fewer memory accesses.

Using a 'small' table of hashed rwlocks should be more than enough to
provide correct SMP concurrency between different buckets, without
using too much memory. Sizing of this table depends on
num_possible_cpus() and various CONFIG settings.

This patch provides some locking abstraction that may ease a future
work using a different model for TCP/DCCP table.

286ab3d460 [NET]: Define infrastructure to keep 'inuse' changes in an efficent SMP/NUMA way.
"struct proto" currently uses an array stats[NR_CPUS] to track change on
'inuse' sockets per protocol.

If NR_CPUS is big, this means we use a big memory area for this.
Moreover, all this memory area is located on a single node on NUMA
machines, increasing memory pressure on the boot node.

In this patch, I tried to :

- Keep a fast !CONFIG_SMP implementation
- Keep a fast CONFIG_SMP implementation for often used protocols
(tcp,udp,raw,...)
- Introduce a NUMA efficient implementation

Some helper macros are defined in include/net/sock.h
These macros take into account CONFIG_SMP

If a "struct proto" is declared without using DEFINE_PROTO_INUSE /
REF_PROTO_INUSE
macros, it will automatically use a default implementation, using a
dynamically allocated percpu zone.
This default implementation will be NUMA efficient, but might use 32/64
bytes per possible cpu
because of current alloc_percpu() implementation.
However it still should be better than previous implementation based on
stats[NR_CPUS] field.

When a "struct proto" is changed to use the new macros, we use a single
static "int" percpu variable,
lowering the memory and cpu costs, still preserving NUMA efficiency.

51c739d1f4 [NET]: Fix incorrect sg_mark_end() calls.
This fixes scatterlist corruptions added by

	commit 68e3f5dd4d
	[CRYPTO] users: Fix up scatterlist conversion errors

The issue is that the code calls sg_mark_end() which clobbers the
sg_page() pointer of the final scatterlist entry.

The first part fo the fix makes skb_to_sgvec() do __sg_mark_end().

After considering all skb_to_sgvec() call sites the most correct
solution is to call __sg_mark_end() in skb_to_sgvec() since that is
what all of the callers would end up doing anyways.

I suspect this might have fixed some problems in virtio_net which is
the sole non-crypto user of skb_to_sgvec().

Other similar sg_mark_end() cases were converted over to
__sg_mark_end() as well.

Arguably sg_mark_end() is a poorly named function because it doesn't
just "mark", it clears out the page pointer as a side effect, which is
what led to these bugs in the first place.

The one remaining plain sg_mark_end() call is in scsi_alloc_sgtable()
and arguably it could be converted to __sg_mark_end() if only so that
we can delete this confusing interface from linux/scatterlist.h

a25de534f8 [INET]: Justification for local port range robustness.
There is a justifying patch for Stephen's patches. Stephen's patches
disallows using a port range of one single port and brakes the meaning
of the 'remaining' variable, in some places it has different meaning.
My patch gives back the sense of 'remaining' variable. It should mean
how many ports are remaining and nothing else. Also my patch allows
using a single port.

  I sure we must be able to use mentioned port range, this does not
restricted by documentation and does not brake current behavior.

064b5bba0c sysctl: remove broken netfilter binary sysctls
No one has bothered to set strategy routine for the the netfilter sysctls that
return jiffies to be sysctl_jiffies.

So it appears the sys_sysctl path is unused and untested, so this patch
removes the binary sysctl numbers.

Which fixes the netfilter oops in 2.6.23-rc2-mm2 for me.

428b367bff sysctl: ipv6 route flushing (kill binary path)
We don't preoperly support the sysctl binary path for flushing the ipv6
routes.  So remove support for a binary path.

d12af679bc sysctl: fix neighbour table sysctls.
- In ipv6 ndisc_ifinfo_syctl_change so it doesn't depend on binary
  sysctl names for a function that works with proc.

- In neighbour.c reorder the table to put the possibly unused entries
  at the end so we can remove them by terminating the table early.

- In neighbour.c kill the entries with questionable binary sysctl
  handling behavior.

- In neighbour.c if we don't have a strategy routine remove the
  binary path.  So we don't the default sysctl strategy routine
  on data that is not ready for it.
