Allow normal users to only choose among a restricted set of congestion
control choices. The default is reno and what ever has been configured
as default. But the policy can be changed by administrator at any time.
For example, to allow any choice:
cp /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_available_congestion_control \
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_allowed_congestion_control

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.

Make udp_encap_rcv use pskb_may_pull
IPsec with NAT-T breaks on some notebooks using the latest e1000 chipset,
when header split is enabled. When receiving sufficiently large packets, the
driver puts everything up to and including the UDP header into the header
portion of the skb, and the rest goes into the paged part. udp_encap_rcv
forgets to use pskb_may_pull, and fails to decapsulate it. Instead, it
passes it up it to the IKE daemon.

H.323 connection tracking code calls ip_ct_refresh_acct() when
processing RCFs and URQs but passes NULL as the skb.
When CONFIG_IP_NF_CT_ACCT is enabled, the connection tracking core tries
to derefence the skb, which results in an obvious panic.
A similar fix was applied on the SIP connection tracking code some time
ago.

Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data.
The work function can use container_of() to work out the data.
For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the
pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the
structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit.
To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the
work_struct. This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution.
Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further
scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the
work function. This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself
that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything
else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated.. This is a
problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch).
However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work
function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container
with no problems. But then the work function must itself release the
work_struct by calling work_release().
In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default. Special
initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR).

Based on patch by James D. Nurmi:
I've got some code very dependant on nfnetlink_queue, and turned up a
large number of warns coming from skb_trim. While it's quite possibly
my code, having not seen it on older kernels made me a bit suspect.
Anyhow, based on some googling I turned up this thread:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/8/13/56
And believe the issue to be related, so attached is a small patch to
the kernel -- not sure if this is completely correct, but for anyone
else hitting the WARN_ON(1) in skbuff.h, it might be helpful..
