This patch make processing netlink user -> kernel messages synchronious.
This change was inspired by the talk with Alexey Kuznetsov about current
netlink messages processing. He says that he was badly wrong when introduced
asynchronious user -> kernel communication.
The call netlink_unicast is the only path to send message to the kernel
netlink socket. But, unfortunately, it is also used to send data to the
user.
Before this change the user message has been attached to the socket queue
and sk->sk_data_ready was called. The process has been blocked until all
pending messages were processed. The bad thing is that this processing
may occur in the arbitrary process context.
This patch changes nlk->data_ready callback to get 1 skb and force packet
processing right in the netlink_unicast.
Kernel -> user path in netlink_unicast remains untouched.
EINTR processing for in netlink_run_queue was changed. It forces rtnl_lock
drop, but the process remains in the cycle until the message will be fully
processed. So, there is no need to use this kludges now.

This patch releases the lock on the state before calling x->type->output.
It also adds the lock to the spots where they're currently needed.
Most of those places (all except mip6) are expected to disappear with
async crypto.

This patch adds locking so that when we're copying non-atomic fields such as
life-time or coaddr to user-space we don't get a partial result.
For af_key I've changed every instance of pfkey_xfrm_state2msg apart from
expiration notification to include the keys and life-times. This is in-line
with XFRM behaviour.
The actual cases affected are:
* pfkey_getspi: No change as we don't have any keys to copy.
* key_notify_sa:
+ ADD/UPD: This wouldn't work otherwise.
+ DEL: It can't hurt.

Here's a good example of code duplication leading to code rot. The
notification patch did its own netlink message creation for xfrm states.
It duplicated code that was already in dump_one_state. Guess what, the
next time (and the time after) when someone updated dump_one_state the
notification path got zilch.
This patch moves that code from dump_one_state to copy_to_user_state_extra
and uses it in xfrm_notify_sa too. Unfortunately whoever updates this
still needs to update xfrm_sa_len since the notification path wants to
know the exact size for allocation.
At least I've added a comment saying so and if someone still forgest, we'll
have a WARN_ON telling us so.
I also changed the security size calculation to use xfrm_user_sec_ctx since
that's what we actually put into the skb. However it makes no practical
difference since it has the same size as xfrm_sec_ctx.

This patch moves some common code that conceptually belongs to the xfrm core
from af_key/xfrm_user into xfrm_alloc_spi.
In particular, the spin lock on the state is now taken inside xfrm_alloc_spi.
Previously it also protected the construction of the response PF_KEY/XFRM
messages to user-space. This is inconsistent as other identical constructions
are not protected by the state lock. This is bad because they in fact should
be protected but only in certain spots (so as not to hold the lock for too
long which may cause packet drops).
The SPI byte order conversion has also been moved.

There is no point in waking people up when creating/updating larval states
because they'll just go back to sleep again as larval states by definition
cannot be found by xfrm_state_find.
We should only wake them up when the larvals mature or die.

Current the x->mode->output functions store the IPv6 nh pointer in the
skb network header. This is inconvenient because the network header then
has to be fixed up before the packet can leave the IPsec stack. The mac
header field is unused on output so we can use that to store this instead.
This patch does that and removes the network header fix-up in xfrm_output.
It also uses ipv6_hdr where appropriate in the x->type->output functions.
There is also a minor clean-up in esp4 to make it use the same code as
esp6 to help any subsequent effort to merge the two.
Lastly it kills two redundant skb_set_* statements in BEET that were
simply copied over from transport mode.

Constructs of the form
xfrm_state_hold(x);
foo(x);
xfrm_state_put(x);
tend to be broken because foo is either synchronous where this is totally
unnecessary or if foo is asynchronous then the reference count is in the
wrong spot.
In the case of xfrm_secpath_reject, the function is synchronous and therefore
we should just kill the reference count.

The replay counter is one of only two remaining things in the output code
that requires a lock on the xfrm state (the other being the crypto). This

Most of the code in xfrm4_output_one and xfrm6_output_one are identical so
this patch moves them into a common xfrm_output function which will live
in net/xfrm.
In fact this would seem to fix a bug as on IPv4 we never reset the network
header after a transform which may upset netfilter later on.

This patch makes loopback_dev per network namespace. Adding
code to create a different loopback device for each network
namespace and adding the code to free a loopback device
when a network namespace exits.
This patch modifies all users the loopback_dev so they
access it as init_net.loopback_dev, keeping all of the
code compiling and working. A later pass will be needed to
update the users to use something other than the initial network
namespace.

I was looking at Patrick's fix to inet_diag and it occured
to me that we're using a pointer argument to return values
unnecessarily in netlink_run_queue. Changing it to return
the value will allow the compiler to generate better code
since the value won't have to be memory-backed.

Each netlink socket will live in exactly one network namespace,
this includes the controlling kernel sockets.
This patch updates all of the existing netlink protocols
to only support the initial network namespace. Request
by clients in other namespaces will get -ECONREFUSED.
As they would if the kernel did not have the support for
that netlink protocol compiled in.
As each netlink protocol is updated to be multiple network
namespace safe it can register multiple kernel sockets
to acquire a presence in the rest of the network namespaces.
The implementation in af_netlink is a simple filter implementation
at hash table insertion and hash table look up time.

Every user of the network device notifiers is either a protocol
stack or a pseudo device. If a protocol stack that does not have
support for multiple network namespaces receives an event for a
device that is not in the initial network namespace it quite possibly
can get confused and do the wrong thing.
To avoid problems until all of the protocol stacks are converted
this patch modifies all netdev event handlers to ignore events on
devices that are not in the initial network namespace.
As the rest of the code is made network namespace aware these
checks can be removed.

This patch modifies the current ipsec audit layer
by breaking it up into purpose driven audit calls.
So far, the only audit calls made are when add/delete
an SA/policy. It had been discussed to give each
key manager it's own calls to do this, but I found
there to be much redundnacy since they did the exact
same things, except for how they got auid and sid, so I
combined them. The below audit calls can be made by any
key manager. Hopefully, this is ok.
