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).
It wasn't hard to stitch the netpoll_queue back in
where it belonged and make everything tidy.

The netpoll beast was still not happy. If the beast got
clogged pipes, it tended to stare blankly off in space
for a long time.
The problem couldn't be completely fixed because the
beast talked with irq's disabled. But it could be made
less painful and shorter.

When the netpoll beast got really busy, it tended to clog
things, so it stored them for later. But the beast was putting
all it's skb's in one basket. This was bad because maybe some
pipes were clogged and others were not.

After looking harder, Steve noticed that the netpoll
beast leaked a little every time it shutdown for a nap.
Not a big leak, but a nuisance kind of thing.
He took out his refcount duct tape and patched the
leak. It was overkill since there was already other
locking in that area, but it looked clean and wouldn't
attract fleas.

This patch does not change code; it performs some trivial clean/tidy-ups:
* removal of a `debug_prefix' string in favour of the
already existing dccp_role(sk)
* add documentation of structures and constants
* separated out the cases for invalid packets (step 1
of the packet validation)
* removing duplicate statements
* combining declaration & initialisation

* some minor fixes
Commiter note: uninlined dccp_feat_name and dccp_feat_typename, for
consistency with dccp_{state,packet}_name, that, BTW,
should be compiled only if CONFIG_IP_DCCP_DEBUG is
selected, leaving this to another cset tho. Also

Throughout the TCP/DCCP (and tunnelling) code, it often happens that the
return code of a transmit function needs to be tested against NET_XMIT_CN
which is a value that does not indicate a strict error condition.
This patch uses a macro for these recurring situations which is consistent
with the already existing macro net_xmit_errno, saving on duplicated code.

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.

This patch does the following:
a) introduces variable-length checksums as specified in [RFC 4340, sec. 9.2]
b) provides necessary socket options and documentation as to how to use them
c) basic support and infrastructure for the Minimum Checksum Coverage feature
[RFC 4340, sec. 9.2.1]: acceptability tests, user notification and user
interface
In addition, it
(1) fixes two bugs in the DCCPv4 checksum computation:
* pseudo-header used checksum_len instead of skb->len
* incorrect checksum coverage calculation based on dccph_x
(2) removes dccp_v4_verify_checksum() since it reduplicates code of the
checksum computation; code calling this function is updated accordingly.
(3) now uses skb_checksum(), which is safer than checksum_partial() if the
sk_buff has is a non-linear buffer (has pages attached to it).
(4) fixes an outstanding TODO item:
* If P.CsCov is too large for the packet size, drop packet and return.
The code has been tested with applications, the latest version of tcpdump now
comes with support for partial DCCP checksums.

An alternate solution would be to make the digest a pointer, allocate
it in sctp_endpoint_init() and free it in sctp_endpoint_destroy().
I guess I should have originally done it this way...
CC [M] net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.o
net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c: In function 'sctp_unpack_cookie':
net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c:1358: warning: initialization discards qualifiers from pointer target type
The reason is that sctp_unpack_cookie() takes a const struct
sctp_endpoint and modifies the digest in it (digest being embedded in
the struct, not a pointer). Make digest a pointer to fix this
warning.

We currently allocate a fixed size (TCP_SYNQ_HSIZE=512) slots hash table for
each LISTEN socket, regardless of various parameters (listen backlog for
example)
On x86_64, this means order-1 allocations (might fail), even for 'small'
sockets, expecting few connections. On the contrary, a huge server wanting a
backlog of 50000 is slowed down a bit because of this fixed limit.
This patch makes the sizing of listen hash table a dynamic parameter,
depending of :
- net.core.somaxconn tunable (default is 128)
- net.ipv4.tcp_max_syn_backlog tunable (default : 256, 1024 or 128)
- backlog value given by user application (2nd parameter of listen())
For large allocations (bigger than PAGE_SIZE), we use vmalloc() instead of
kmalloc().
We still limit memory allocation with the two existing tunables (somaxconn &
tcp_max_syn_backlog). So for standard setups, this patch actually reduce RAM
usage.

Now that all protocols have been made aware of the mark
field it can be moved out of the union thus simplyfing
its usage.
The config options in the IPv4/IPv6/DECnet subsystems
to enable respectively disable mark based routing only
obfuscate the code with ifdefs, the cost for the
additional comparison in the flow key is insignificant,
and most distributions have all these options enabled
by default anyway. Therefore it makes sense to remove
the config options and enable mark based routing by
default.

Fix the selection of an SA for an outgoing packet to be at the same
context as the originating socket/flow. This eliminates the SELinux
policy's ability to use/sendto SAs with contexts other than the socket's.
With this patch applied, the SELinux policy will require one or more of the
following for a socket to be able to communicate with/without SAs:
1. To enable a socket to communicate without using labeled-IPSec SAs:
allow socket_t unlabeled_t:association { sendto recvfrom }
2. To enable a socket to communicate with labeled-IPSec SAs:
allow socket_t self:association { sendto };
allow socket_t peer_sa_t:association { recvfrom };

Since the upstreaming of the mlsxfrm modification a few months back,
testing has resulted in the identification of the following issues/bugs that
are resolved in this patch set.
1. Fix the security context used in the IKE negotiation to be the context
of the socket as opposed to the context of the SPD rule.
2. Fix SO_PEERSEC for tcp sockets to return the security context of
the peer as opposed to the source.
3. Fix the selection of an SA for an outgoing packet to be at the same
context as the originating socket/flow.
The following would be the result of applying this patchset:
- SO_PEERSEC will now correctly return the peer's context.
- IKE deamons will receive the context of the source socket/flow
as opposed to the SPD rule's context so that the negotiated SA
will be at the same context as the source socket/flow.
- The SELinux policy will require one or more of the
following for a socket to be able to communicate with/without SAs:
1. To enable a socket to communicate without using labeled-IPSec SAs:
allow socket_t unlabeled_t:association { sendto recvfrom }
2. To enable a socket to communicate with labeled-IPSec SAs:
allow socket_t self:association { sendto };
allow socket_t peer_sa_t:association { recvfrom };
This Patch: Pass correct security context to IKE for use in negotiation
Fix the security context passed to IKE for use in negotiation to be the
context of the socket as opposed to the context of the SPD rule so that
the SA carries the label of the originating socket/flow.
