- No need to perform data_len = 0 in the switch command, since data_len
is initialized to 0 in the beginning of the ipq_build_packet_message()
method.
- {ip,ip6}_queue: We can reach nlmsg_failure only from one place; skb is
sure to be NULL when getting there; since skb is NULL, there is no need
to check this fact and call kfree_skb().

Currently the last packet of a connection isn't accounted when its causing
abnormal termination.
Introduces nf_ct_kill_acct() which increments the accounting counters on
conntrack kill. The new function was necessary, because there are calls
to nf_ct_kill() which don't need accounting:
nf_conntrack_proto_tcp.c line ~847:
Kills ct and returns NF_REPEAT. We don't want to count twice.
nf_conntrack_proto_tcp.c line ~880:
Kills ct and returns NF_DROP. I think we don't want to count dropped
packets.
nf_conntrack_netlink.c line ~824:
As far as I can see ctnetlink_del_conntrack() is used to destroy a
conntrack on behalf of the user. There is an sk_buff, but I don't think
this is an actual packet. Incrementing counters here is therefore not
desired.

The following patch implements a new "security" table for iptables, so
that MAC (SELinux etc.) networking rules can be managed separately to
standard DAC rules.
This is to help with distro integration of the new secmark-based
network controls, per various previous discussions.
The need for a separate table arises from the fact that existing tools
and usage of iptables will likely clash with centralized MAC policy
management.
The SECMARK and CONNSECMARK targets will still be valid in the mangle
table to prevent breakage of existing users.

skb_splice_bits temporary drops the socket lock while iterating over
the socket queue in order to break a reverse locking condition which
happens with sendfile. This, however, opens a window of opportunity
for tcp_collapse() to aggregate skbs and thus potentially free the
current skb used in skb_splice_bits and tcp_read_sock.
This patch fixes the problem by (re-)getting the same "logical skb"
after the lock has been temporary dropped.
Based on idea and initial patch from Evgeniy Polyakov.

This bug is able to corrupt fackets_out in very rare cases.
In order for this to cause corruption:
1) DSACK in the middle of previous SACK block must be generated.
2) In order to take that particular branch, part or all of the
DSACKed segment must already be SACKed so that we have that
in cache in the first place.
3) The new info must be top enough so that fackets_out will be
updated on this iteration.
...then fack_count is updated while skb wasn't, then we walk again
that particular segment thus updating fack_count twice for
a single skb and finally that value is assigned to fackets_out
by tcp_sacktag_one.
It is safe to call tcp_sacktag_one just once for a segment (at
DSACK), no need to call again for plain SACK.
Potential problem of the miscount are limited to premature entry
to recovery and to inflated reordering metric (which could even
cancel each other out in the most the luckiest scenarios :-)).
Both are quite insignificant in worst case too and there exists
also code to reset them (fackets_out once sacked_out becomes zero
and reordering metric on RTO).
This has been reported by a number of people, because it occurred
quite rarely, it has been very evasive. Andy Furniss was able to
get it to occur couple of times so that a bit more info was
collected about the problem using a debug patch, though it still
required lot of checking around. Thanks also to others who have
tried to help here.
This is listed as Bugzilla #10346. The bug was introduced by
me in commit 68f8353b48 ([TCP]: Rewrite SACK block processing &
sack_recv_cache use), I probably thought back then that there's
need to scan that entry twice or didn't dare to make it go
through it just once there. Going through twice would have
required restoring fack_count after the walk but as noted above,
I chose to drop the additional walk step altogether here.

It is possible that this skip path causes TCP to end up into an
invalid state where ca_state was left to CA_Open while some
segments already came into sacked_out. If next valid ACK doesn't
contain new SACK information TCP fails to enter into
tcp_fastretrans_alert(). Thus at least high_seq is set
incorrectly to a too high seqno because some new data segments
could be sent in between (and also, limited transmit is not
being correctly invoked there). Reordering in both directions
can easily cause this situation to occur.
I guess we would want to use tcp_moderate_cwnd(tp) there as well
as it may be possible to use this to trigger oversized burst to
network by sending an old ACK with huge amount of SACK info, but
I'm a bit unsure about its effects (mainly to FlightSize), so to
be on the safe side I just currently fixed it minimally to keep
TCP's state consistent (obviously, such nasty ACKs have been
possible this far). Though it seems that FlightSize is already
underestimated by some amount, so probably on the long term we
might want to trigger recovery there too, if appropriate, to make
FlightSize calculation to resemble reality at the time when the
losses where discovered (but such change scares me too much now
and requires some more thinking anyway how to do that as it
likely involves some code shuffling).
This bug was found by Brian Vowell while running my TCP debug
patch to find cause of another TCP issue (fackets_out
miscount).

We are seeing an issue with TCP in handling an ICMP frag needed
message that is received after net.ipv4.tcp_retries1 retransmits.
The default value of retries1 is 3. So if the path mtu changes
and ICMP frag needed is lost for the first 3 retransmits or if
it gets delayed until 3 retransmits are done, TCP doesn't update
MSS correctly and continues to retransmit the orginal message
until it timesout after tcp_retries2 retransmits.
I am seeing this issue even with the latest 2.6.25.4 kernel.
In tcp_retransmit_timer(), when retransmits counter exceeds
tcp_retries1 value, the dst cache entry of the socket is reset.
At this time, if we receive an ICMP frag needed message, the
dst entry gets updated with the new MTU, but the TCP sockets
dst_cache entry remains NULL.
So the next time when we try to retransmit after the ICMP frag
needed is received, tcp_retransmit_skb() gets called. Here the
cur_mss value is calculated at the start of the routine with
a NULL sk_dst_cache. Instead we should call tcp_current_mss after
the rebuild_header that caches the dst entry with the updated mtu.
Also the rebuild_header should be called before tcp_fragment
so that skb is fragmented if the mss goes down.

These devices use the private area of appropriate size for
statistics. Turning them to use on-device ones make them
"privless" and thus - really small wrt kmalloc cache, they
are allocated from.
Besides, code looks nicer, because of absence of multi-braced
type casts and dereferences.
