ba4e58eca8 [NET]: Supporting UDP-Lite (RFC 3828) in Linux
This is a revision of the previously submitted patch, which alters
the way files are organized and compiled in the following manner:

	* UDP and UDP-Lite now use separate object files
	* source file dependencies resolved via header files
	  net/ipv{4,6}/udp_impl.h
	* order of inclusion files in udp.c/udplite.c adapted
	  accordingly

[NET/IPv4]: Support for the UDP-Lite protocol (RFC 3828)

This patch adds support for UDP-Lite to the IPv4 stack, provided as an
extension to the existing UDPv4 code:
        * generic routines are all located in net/ipv4/udp.c
        * UDP-Lite specific routines are in net/ipv4/udplite.c
        * MIB/statistics support in /proc/net/snmp and /proc/net/udplite
        * shared API with extensions for partial checksum coverage

[NET/IPv6]: Extension for UDP-Lite over IPv6

It extends the existing UDPv6 code base with support for UDP-Lite
in the same manner as per UDPv4. In particular,
        * UDPv6 generic and shared code is in net/ipv6/udp.c
        * UDP-Litev6 specific extensions are in net/ipv6/udplite.c
        * MIB/statistics support in /proc/net/snmp6 and /proc/net/udplite6
        * support for IPV6_ADDRFORM
        * aligned the coding style of protocol initialisation with af_inet6.c
        * made the error handling in udpv6_queue_rcv_skb consistent;
          to return `-1' on error on all error cases
        * consolidation of shared code

[NET]: UDP-Lite Documentation and basic XFRM/Netfilter support

The UDP-Lite patch further provides
        * API documentation for UDP-Lite
        * basic xfrm support
        * basic netfilter support for IPv4 and IPv6 (LOG target)

5de4a473bd netpoll queue cleanup
The beast had a long and not very happy history. At one
point, a friend (netdump) had asked that he open up a little.
Well, the friend was long gone now, and the beast had
this dangling piece hanging (netpoll_queue).

where it belonged and make everything tidy.

6c43ff18f9 netpoll deferred transmit path
When the netpoll beast got busy, he tended to babble.
Instead of talking out of his large mouth as normal,
he tended to try to snort out other orifices. This lead
to words (skbs) ending up in odd places (like NIT) that
he did not intend.

The normal way of talking wouldn't work, but he could
at least change to using the same tone all the time.

beast leaked a little every time it shutdown for a nap.
Not a big leak, but a nuisance kind of thing.

leak. It was overkill since there was already other
locking in that area, but it looked clean and wouldn't

a1bcfacd05 netpoll: private skb pool (rev3)
It was a dark and stormy night when Steve first saw the
netpoll beast. The beast was odd, and misshapen but not
extremely ugly.

"Let me take off one of your warts" he said. This wart
is where you tried to make an skb list yourself. If the
beast had ever run out of memory, he would have stupefied
himself unnecessarily.

The first try was painful, so he tried again till the bleeding
stopped. And again, and again...

d23ca15a21 [DCCP] ACKVEC: Optimization - Do not traverse records if none will be found
Do not traverse the list of ack vector records [proportional to window size]
when we know we will not find what we are looking for.  This is especially
useful because ack vectors are checked twice:
1) Upon parsing of options.
2) Upon notification of a new ack.

All of the work will occur during check #1.  Therefore, when check #2 is
performed, no new work will be done.  This is now "detected" and there is no
performance hit when doing #2.

b9df3cb8cf [TCP/DCCP]: Introduce net_xmit_eval

return code of a transmit function needs to be tested against NET_XMIT_CN

with the already existing macro net_xmit_errno, saving on duplicated code.

2ee92d46c6 [SELinux]: Add support for DCCP
This patch implements SELinux kernel support for DCCP
(http://linux-net.osdl.org/index.php/DCCP), which is similar in
operation to TCP in terms of connected state between peers.

The SELinux support for DCCP is thus modeled on existing handling of
TCP.

A new DCCP socket class is introduced, to allow protocol
differentation.  The permissions for this class inherit all of the
socket permissions, as well as the current TCP permissions (node_bind,
name_bind etc). IPv4 and IPv6 are supported, although labeled
networking is not, at this stage.

Patches for SELinux userspace are at:
http://people.redhat.com/jmorris/selinux/dccp/user/

I've performed some basic testing, and it seems to be working as
expected.  Adding policy support is similar to TCP, the only real
difference being that it's a different protocol.

865e9022d8 [DCCP]: Remove redundant statements in init_sequence (ISS)
This patch removes the following redundancies:

 1) The test skb->protocol == htons(ETH_P_IPV6) in dccp_v6_init_sequence
    is always true since
     * dccp_v6_conn_request() is the only calling function
     * dccp_v6_conn_request() redirects all skb's with ETH_P_IP to
       dccp_v4_conn_request()

 2) The first argument, `struct sock *sk', of dccp_v{4,6}_init_sequence()
    is never used.

(This is similar for tcp_v{4,6}_init_sequence, an analogous patch has been
 submitted to netdev and merged.)

By the way - are the `sport' / `dport' arguments in the right order?
I have made them consistent among calls but they seem to be in the
reverse order.

This adds 3 sysctls which govern the retransmission behaviour of DCCP control
packets (3way handshake, feature negotiation).

It removes 4 FIXMEs from the code.

The close resemblance of sysctl variables to their TCP analogues is emphasised
not only by their name, but also by giving them the same initial values.
This is useful since there is not much practical experience with DCCP yet.

Furthermore, with regard to the previous patch, it is now possible to limit
the number of keepalive-Responses by setting net.dccp.default.request_retries
(also a bit like in TCP).

Lastly, added documentation of all existing DCCP sysctls.

| Reset     |  only in response to other packets                    |
| Sync      |  only in response to sequence-invalid packets (7.5.4) |
| SyncAck   |  only in response to Sync packets                     |
+-----------+-------------------------------------------------------+

Hence the only packets eligible for retransmission are:
       * Requests in client-REQUEST  state (sec. 8.1.1)
       * Acks     in client-PARTOPEN state (sec. 8.1.5)
       * CloseReq in server-CLOSEREQ state (sec. 8.3)
       * Close    in   node-CLOSING  state (sec. 8.3)

I had meant to put in a check for these types too, but have left that
for later.

d3a1be9cba [IPv6]: Only modify checksum for UDP
Only change upper-layer checksum from 0 to 0xFFFF for UDP (as RFC 768
states), not for others as RFC 4443 doesn't require it.

f465e489c4 [IPv6] rules: Remove bogus tos validation check
Noticed by Al Viro:
     (frh->tos & ~IPV6_FLOWINFO_MASK))
where IPV6_FLOWINFO_MASK is htonl(0xfffffff) and frh->tos
is u8, which makes no sense here...

339bf98ffc [NETLINK]: Do precise netlink message allocations where possible
Account for the netlink message header size directly in nlmsg_new()
instead of relying on the caller calculate it correctly.

Replaces error handling of message construction functions when
constructing notifications with bug traps since a failure implies
a bug in calculating the size of the skb.
