75f2811c64 ipv6: Add fragment reporting to ipv6_skip_exthdr().
While parsing through IPv6 extension headers, fragment headers are
skipped making them invisible to the caller.  This reports the
fragment offset of the last header in order to make it possible to
determine whether the packet is fragmented and, if so whether it is
a first or last fragment.

5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

71f6f6dfdf ipv6: Plug sk_buff leak in ipv6_rcv (net/ipv6/ip6_input.c)
Commit 778d80be52
(ipv6: Add disable_ipv6 sysctl to disable IPv6 operaion on specific interface)
seems to have introduced a leak of sk_buff's for ipv6 traffic,
at least in some configurations where idev is NULL, or when ipv6
is disabled via sysctl.

The problem is that if the first condition of the if-statement
returns non-NULL, it returns an skb with only one reference,
and when the other conditions apply, execution jumps to the "out"
label, which does not call kfree_skb for it.

To plug this leak, change to use the "drop" label instead.
(this relies on it being ok to call kfree_skb on NULL)
This also allows us to avoid calling rcu_read_unlock here,
and removes the only user of the "out" label.

1d6e55f195 IPv6: Fix multicast routing bugs.
This patch addresses the IPv6 multicast routing issues described
below.  It was tested with XORP 1.4/1.5 as the IPv6 PIM-SM routing
daemon against FreeBSD peers.

net/ipv6/ip6_input.c:

  - Don't try to forward link-local multicast packets.

  - Don't reset skb2->dev before calling ip6_mr_input() so packets can
    be identified as coming from the PIM register vif properly.

net/ipv6/ip6mr.c:

  - Fix incoming PIM register messages processing:

    * The IPv6 pseudo-header should be included when checksumming PIM
      messages (RFC 4601 section 4.9; RFC 3973 section 4.7.1).

    * Packets decapsulated from PIM register messages should have
      skb->protocol ETH_P_IPV6.

  - Enable/disable IPv6 multicast forwarding on the corresponding
    interface when a routing daemon adds/removes a multicast virtual
    interface.

  - Remove incorrect skb_pull() to fix userspace signaling.

  - Enable/disable global IPv6 multicast forwarding when an IPv6
    multicast routing socket is opened/closed.

net/ipv6/route.c:

  - Don't use strict routing logic for packets decapsulated from PIM
    register messages (similar to disabling rp_filter for the IPv4
    case).

4c7966b86b [IPV6] MCAST: Ensure to check multicast listener(s).
In ip6_mc_input(), we need to check whether we have listener(s) for
the packet.

After commit ae7bf20a63, all packets
for multicast destinations are delivered to upper layer if
IFF_PROMISC or IFF_ALLMULTI is set.

In fact, bug was rather ancient; the original (before the commit)
intent of the dev->flags check was to skip the ipv6_chk_mcast_addr()
call, assuming L2 filters packets appropriately, but it was even not
true.

Let's explicitly check our multicast list.

cd354f1ae7 [PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h
After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there.  Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.

To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.

Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
configs in arch/arm/configs on arm.  I also checked that no new warnings were
introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
by unnecessarily included header files).

a80ff03e05 [IPV6]: Allow to replace skbuff by TLV parser.
In receiving Mobile IPv6 home address option which is a TLV carried by
destination options header, kernel will try to mangle source adderss
of packet. Think of cloned skbuff it is required to replace it by the
parser just like routing header case.

This is a framework to achieve that to allow TLV parser to replace
inbound skbuff pointer.

b05e106698 [IPV4/6]: Netfilter IPsec input hooks
When the innermost transform uses transport mode the decapsulated packet
is not visible to netfilter. Pass the packet through the PRE_ROUTING and
LOCAL_IN hooks again before handing it to upper layer protocols to make
netfilter-visibility symetrical to the output path.

951dbc8ac7 [IPV6]: Move nextheader offset to the IP6CB
Move nextheader offset to the IP6CB to make it possible to pass a
packet to ip6_input_finish multiple times and have it skip already
parsed headers. As a nice side effect this gets rid of the manual
hopopts skipping in ip6_input_finish.

9fb9cbb108 [NETFILTER]: Add nf_conntrack subsystem.
The existing connection tracking subsystem in netfilter can only
handle ipv4.  There were basically two choices present to add
connection tracking support for ipv6.  We could either duplicate all
of the ipv4 connection tracking code into an ipv6 counterpart, or (the
choice taken by these patches) we could design a generic layer that
could handle both ipv4 and ipv6 and thus requiring only one sub-protocol
(TCP, UDP, etc.) connection tracking helper module to be written.

In fact nf_conntrack is capable of working with any layer 3
protocol.

The existing ipv4 specific conntrack code could also not deal
with the pecularities of doing connection tracking on ipv6,
which is also cured here.  For example, these issues include:

1) ICMPv6 handling, which is used for neighbour discovery in
   ipv6 thus some messages such as these should not participate
   in connection tracking since effectively they are like ARP
   messages

2) fragmentation must be handled differently in ipv6, because
   the simplistic "defrag, connection track and NAT, refrag"
   (which the existing ipv4 connection tracking does) approach simply
   isn't feasible in ipv6

3) ipv6 extension header parsing must occur at the correct spots
   before and after connection tracking decisions, and there were
   no provisions for this in the existing connection tracking
   design

4) ipv6 has no need for stateful NAT

The ipv4 specific conntrack layer is kept around, until all of
the ipv4 specific conntrack helpers are ported over to nf_conntrack
and it is feature complete.  Once that occurs, the old conntrack
stuff will get placed into the feature-removal-schedule and we will
fully kill it off 6 months later.
