ipv4: Kill spurious write to iph->daddr in ip_forward_options().
This code block executes when opt->srr_is_hit is set. It will be
set only by ip_options_rcv_srr().
ip_options_rcv_srr() walks until it hits a matching nexthop in the SRR
option addresses, and when it matches one 1) looks up the route for
that nexthop and 2) on route lookup success it writes that nexthop
value into iph->daddr.
ip_forward_options() runs later, and again walks the SRR option
addresses looking for the option matching the destination of the route
stored in skb_rtable(). This route will be the same exact one looked
up for the nexthop by ip_options_rcv_srr().
Therefore "rt->rt_dst == iph->daddr" must be true.
All it really needs to do is record the route's source address in the
matching SRR option adddress. It need not write iph->daddr again,
since that has already been done by ip_options_rcv_srr() as detailed
above.

net:set valid name before calling ndo_init()
In commit 1c5cae815d19 (net: call dev_alloc_name from register_netdevice),

In register_netdevice(), the name of net_device is not valid until

net: ipv4: add IPPROTO_ICMP socket kind
This patch adds IPPROTO_ICMP socket kind. It makes it possible to send
ICMP_ECHO messages and receive the corresponding ICMP_ECHOREPLY messages
without any special privileges. In other words, the patch makes it
possible to implement setuid-less and CAP_NET_RAW-less /bin/ping. In
order not to increase the kernel's attack surface, the new functionality
is disabled by default, but is enabled at bootup by supporting Linux
distributions, optionally with restriction to a group or a group range
(see below).
Similar functionality is implemented in Mac OS X:
http://www.manpagez.com/man/4/icmp/
A new ping socket is created with
socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, PROT_ICMP)
Message identifiers (octets 4-5 of ICMP header) are interpreted as local
ports. Addresses are stored in struct sockaddr_in. No port numbers are
reserved for privileged processes, port 0 is reserved for API ("let the
kernel pick a free number"). There is no notion of remote ports, remote
port numbers provided by the user (e.g. in connect()) are ignored.
Data sent and received include ICMP headers. This is deliberate to:
1) Avoid the need to transport headers values like sequence numbers by
other means.
2) Make it easier to port existing programs using raw sockets.
ICMP headers given to send() are checked and sanitized. The type must be
ICMP_ECHO and the code must be zero (future extensions might relax this,
see below). The id is set to the number (local port) of the socket, the
checksum is always recomputed.
ICMP reply packets received from the network are demultiplexed according
to their id's, and are returned by recv() without any modifications.
IP header information and ICMP errors of those packets may be obtained
via ancillary data (IP_RECVTTL, IP_RETOPTS, and IP_RECVERR). ICMP source
quenches and redirects are reported as fake errors via the error queue
(IP_RECVERR); the next hop address for redirects is saved to ee_info (in
network order).
socket(2) is restricted to the group range specified in
"/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ping_group_range". It is "1 0" by default, meaning
that nobody (not even root) may create ping sockets. Setting it to "100
100" would grant permissions to the single group (to either make
/sbin/ping g+s and owned by this group or to grant permissions to the
"netadmins" group), "0 4294967295" would enable it for the world, "100 4294967295" would enable it for the users, but not daemons.
The existing code might be (in the unlikely case anyone needs it)
extended rather easily to handle other similar pairs of ICMP messages
(Timestamp/Reply, Information Request/Reply, Address Mask Request/Reply
etc.).
Userspace ping util & patch for it:
http://openwall.info/wiki/people/segoon/ping
For Openwall GNU/*/Linux it was the last step on the road to the
setuid-less distro. A revision of this patch (for RHEL5/OpenVZ kernels)
is in use in Owl-current, such as in the 2011/03/12 LiveCD ISOs:
http://mirrors.kernel.org/openwall/Owl/current/iso/
Initially this functionality was written by Pavel Kankovsky for
Linux 2.4.32, but unfortunately it was never made public.
All ping options (-b, -p, -Q, -R, -s, -t, -T, -M, -I), are tested with
the patch.
PATCH v3:
- switched to flowi4.
- minor changes to be consistent with raw sockets code.
PATCH v2:
- changed ping_debug() to pr_debug().
- removed CONFIG_IP_PING.
- removed ping_seq_fops.owner field (unused for procfs).
- switched to proc_net_fops_create().
- switched to %pK in seq_printf().
PATCH v1:
- fixed checksumming bug.
- CAP_NET_RAW may not create icmp sockets anymore.
RFC v2:
- minor cleanups.
- introduced sysctl'able group range to restrict socket(2).

Note: If a receiver chooses to not enable anti-replay for an SA, then

Use of ESN creates a need for the receiver to manage the anti-replay
window (in order to determine the correct value for the high-order
bits of the ESN, which are employed in the ICV computation), which is
generally contrary to the notion of disabling anti-replay for an SA.

tipc: Revise timings used when sending link request messages
Revises the algorithm governing the sending of link request messages
to take into account the number of nodes each bearer is currently in
contact with, and to ensure more rapid rediscovery of neighboring nodes
if a bearer fails and then recovers.
The discovery object now sends requests at least once a second if it
is not in contact with any other nodes, and at least once a minute if
it has at least one neighbor; if contact with the only neighbor is
lost, the object immediately reverts to its initial rapid-fire search
timing to accelerate the rediscovery process.
In addition, the discovery object now stops issuing link request
messages if it is in contact with the only neighboring node it is
configured to communicate with, since further searching is unnecessary.

tipc: Avoid recomputation of outgoing message length
Rework TIPC's message sending routines to take advantage of the total
amount of data value passed to it by the kernel socket infrastructure.
This change eliminates the need for TIPC to compute the size of outgoing
messages itself, as well as the check for an oversize message in
tipc_msg_build(). In addition, this change warrants an explanation:
- res = send_packet(NULL, sock, &my_msg, 0);
+ res = send_packet(NULL, sock, &my_msg, bytes_to_send);
Previously, the final argument to send_packet() was ignored (since the
amount of data being sent was recalculated by a lower-level routine)
and we could just pass in a dummy value (0). Now that the
recalculation is being eliminated, the argument value being passed to
send_packet() is significant and we have to supply the actual amount
of data we want to send.

DESCRIPTION
This patch tries to restore the initial init and cleanup
sequences that was before namspace patch.
Netns also requires action when net devices unregister
which has never been implemented. I.e this patch also
covers when a device moves into a network namespace,
and has to be released.
IMPLEMENTATION
The number of calls to register_pernet_device have been
reduced to one for the ip_vs.ko
Schedulers still have their own calls.
This patch adds a function __ip_vs_service_cleanup()
and an enable flag for the netfilter hooks.
The nf hooks will be enabled when the first service is loaded
and never disabled again, except when a namespace exit starts.

IPVS: Change of socket usage to enable name space exit.
If the sync daemons run in a name space while it crashes
or get killed, there is no way to stop them except for a reboot.
When all patches are there, ip_vs_core will handle register_pernet_(),
i.e. ip_vs_sync_init() and ip_vs_sync_cleanup() will be removed.
Kernel threads should not increment the use count of a socket.
By calling sk_change_net() after creating a socket this is avoided.
sock_release cant be used intead sk_release_kernel() should be used.
