The linearisation operation doesn't need to be super-optimised. So we can
replace __skb_linearize with __pskb_pull_tail which does the same thing but
is more general.
Also, most users of skb_linearize end up testing whether the skb is linear
or not so it helps to make skb_linearize do just that.
Some callers of skb_linearize also use it to copy cloned data, so it's
useful to have a new function skb_linearize_cow to copy the data if it's
either non-linear or cloned.
Last but not least, I've removed the gfp argument since nobody uses it
anymore. If it's ever needed we can easily add it back.

Various drivers use xmit_lock internally to synchronise with their
transmission routines. They do so without setting xmit_lock_owner.
This is fine as long as netpoll is not in use.
With netpoll it is possible for deadlocks to occur if xmit_lock_owner
isn't set. This is because if a printk occurs while xmit_lock is held
and xmit_lock_owner is not set can cause netpoll to attempt to take
xmit_lock recursively.
While it is possible to resolve this by getting netpoll to use
trylock, it is suboptimal because netpoll's sole objective is to
maximise the chance of getting the printk out on the wire. So
delaying or dropping the message is to be avoided as much as possible.
So the only alternative is to always set xmit_lock_owner. The
following patch does this by introducing the netif_tx_lock family of
functions that take care of setting/unsetting xmit_lock_owner.
I renamed xmit_lock to _xmit_lock to indicate that it should not be
used directly. I didn't provide irq versions of the netif_tx_lock
functions since xmit_lock is meant to be a BH-disabling lock.
This is pretty much a straight text substitution except for a small
bug fix in winbond. It currently uses
netif_stop_queue/spin_unlock_wait to stop transmission. This is
unsafe as an IRQ can potentially wake up the queue. So it is safer to
use netif_tx_disable.
The hamradio bits used spin_lock_irq but it is unnecessary as
xmit_lock must never be taken in an IRQ handler.

Add a new xtables target, CONNSECMARK, which is used to specify rules
for copying security marks from packets to connections, and for
copyying security marks back from connections to packets. This is
similar to the CONNMARK target, but is more limited in scope in that
it only allows copying of security marks to and from packets, as this
is all it needs to do.
A typical scenario would be to apply a security mark to a 'new' packet
with SECMARK, then copy that to its conntrack via CONNMARK, and then
restore the security mark from the connection to established and
related packets on that connection.

This patch contains a fix for the previous patch that adds security
contexts to IPsec policies and security associations. In the previous
patch, no authorization (besides the check for write permissions to
SAD and SPD) is required to delete IPsec policies and security
assocations with security contexts. Thus a user authorized to change
SAD and SPD can bypass the IPsec policy authorization by simply
deleteing policies with security contexts. To fix this security hole,
an additional authorization check is added for removing security
policies and security associations with security contexts.
Note that if no security context is supplied on add or present on
policy to be deleted, the SELinux module allows the change
unconditionally. The hook is called on deletion when no context is
present, which we may want to change. At present, I left it up to the
module.
LSM changes:
The patch adds two new LSM hooks: xfrm_policy_delete and
xfrm_state_delete. The new hooks are necessary to authorize deletion
of IPsec policies that have security contexts. The existing hooks
xfrm_policy_free and xfrm_state_free lack the context to do the
authorization, so I decided to split authorization of deletion and
memory management of security data, as is typical in the LSM
interface.
Use:
The new delete hooks are checked when xfrm_policy or xfrm_state are
deleted by either the xfrm_user interface (xfrm_get_policy,
xfrm_del_sa) or the pfkey interface (pfkey_spddelete, pfkey_delete).
SELinux changes:
The new policy_delete and state_delete functions are added.

The number of locks used to manage afinfo structures can easily be reduced
down to one each for policy and state respectively. This is based on the
observation that the write locks are only held by module insertion/removal
which are very rare events so there is no need to further differentiate
between the insertion of modules like ipv6 versus esp6.
The removal of the read locks in xfrm4_policy.c/xfrm6_policy.c might look
suspicious at first. However, after you realise that nobody ever takes
the corresponding write lock you'll feel better :)
As far as I can gather it's an attempt to guard against the removal of
the corresponding modules. Since neither module can be unloaded at all
we can leave it to whoever fixes up IPv6 unloading :)

There's a race between shutting down one io scheduler and firing up the
next, in which a new io could enter and cause the io scheduler to be
invoked with bad or NULL data.
To fix this, we need to maintain the queue lock for a bit longer.
Unfortunately we cannot do that, since the elevator init requires to be
run without the lock held. This isn't easily fixable, without also
changing the mempool API. So split the initialization into two parts,
and alloc-init operation and an attach operation. Then we can
preallocate the io scheduler and related structures, and run the attach
inside the lock after we detach the old one.
This patch has survived 30 minutes of 1 second io scheduler switching
with a very busy io load.
