f429cd37a2 sysctl: properly register the irda binary sysctl numbers
Grumble.  These numbers should have been in sysctl.h from the beginning if we
ever expected anyone to use them.  Oh well put them there now so we can find
them and make maintenance easier.

064b5bba0c sysctl: remove broken netfilter binary sysctls
No one has bothered to set strategy routine for the the netfilter sysctls that
return jiffies to be sysctl_jiffies.

So it appears the sys_sysctl path is unused and untested, so this patch
removes the binary sysctl numbers.

Which fixes the netfilter oops in 2.6.23-rc2-mm2 for me.

49641b58a7 sysctl: ipv4 remove binary sysctl paths where they are broken
Currently tcp_available_congestion_control does not even attempt being read
from sys_sysctl, and ipfrag_max_dist while it works allows setting of invalid
values using sys_sysctl.

So just kill the binary sys_sysctl support for these sysctls.  If the support
is not important enough to test and get right it probably isn't important
enough to keep.

d12af679bc sysctl: fix neighbour table sysctls.
- In ipv6 ndisc_ifinfo_syctl_change so it doesn't depend on binary
  sysctl names for a function that works with proc.

- In neighbour.c reorder the table to put the possibly unused entries
  at the end so we can remove them by terminating the table early.

- In neighbour.c kill the entries with questionable binary sysctl
  handling behavior.

- In neighbour.c if we don't have a strategy routine remove the
  binary path.  So we don't the default sysctl strategy routine
  on data that is not ready for it.

ba17674fe0 9p: attach-per-user
The 9P2000 protocol requires the authentication and permission checks to be
done in the file server. For that reason every user that accesses the file
server tree has to authenticate and attach to the server separately.
Multiple users can share the same connection to the server.

Currently v9fs does a single attach and executes all I/O operations as a
single user. This makes using v9fs in multiuser environment unsafe as it
depends on the client doing the permission checking.

This patch improves the 9P2000 support by allowing every user to attach
separately. The patch defines three modes of access (new mount option
'access'):

- attach-per-user (access=user) (default mode for 9P2000.u)
 If a user tries to access a file served by v9fs for the first time, v9fs
 sends an attach command to the server (Tattach) specifying the user. If
 the attach succeeds, the user can access the v9fs tree.
 As there is no uname->uid (string->integer) mapping yet, this mode works
 only with the 9P2000.u dialect.

- allow only one user to access the tree (access=<uid>)
 Only the user with uid can access the v9fs tree. Other users that attempt
 to access it will get EPERM error.

- do all operations as a single user (access=any) (default for 9P2000)
 V9fs does a single attach and all operations are done as a single user.
 If this mode is selected, the v9fs behavior is identical with the current
 one.

ce8d2cdf3d r/o bind mounts: filesystem helpers for custom 'struct file's
Why do we need r/o bind mounts?

This feature allows a read-only view into a read-write filesystem.  In the
process of doing that, it also provides infrastructure for keeping track of
the number of writers to any given mount.

This has a number of uses.  It allows chroots to have parts of filesystems
writable.  It will be useful for containers in the future because users may
have root inside a container, but should not be allowed to write to
somefilesystems.  This also replaces patches that vserver has had out of the
tree for several years.

It allows security enhancement by making sure that parts of your filesystem
read-only (such as when you don't trust your FTP server), when you don't want
to have entire new filesystems mounted, or when you want atime selectively
updated.  I've been using the following script to test that the feature is
working as desired.  It takes a directory and makes a regular bind and a r/o
bind mount of it.  It then performs some normal filesystem operations on the
three directories, including ones that are expected to fail, like creating a
file on the r/o mount.

This patch:

Some filesystems forego the vfs and may_open() and create their own 'struct
file's.

This patch creates a couple of helper functions which can be used by these
filesystems, and will provide a unified place which the r/o bind mount code
may patch.

Also, rename an existing, static-scope init_file() to a less generic name.

76181c134f KEYS: Make request_key() and co fundamentally asynchronous
Make request_key() and co fundamentally asynchronous to make it easier for
NFS to make use of them.  There are now accessor functions that do
asynchronous constructions, a wait function to wait for construction to
complete, and a completion function for the key type to indicate completion
of construction.

Note that the construction queue is now gone.  Instead, keys under
construction are linked in to the appropriate keyring in advance, and that
anyone encountering one must wait for it to be complete before they can use
it.  This is done automatically for userspace.

The following auxiliary changes are also made:

 (1) Key type implementation stuff is split from linux/key.h into
     linux/key-type.h.

 (2) AF_RXRPC provides a way to allocate null rxrpc-type keys so that AFS does
     not need to call key_instantiate_and_link() directly.

 (3) Adjust the debugging macros so that they're -Wformat checked even if
     they are disabled, and make it so they can be enabled simply by defining
     __KDEBUG to be consistent with other code of mine.

 (3) Documentation.

a030847e9f [NET]: Avoid copying TCP packets unnecessarily
TCP packets all have writable heads, that is, even though it's cloned, it is
writable up to the end of the TCP header.  This patch makes skb_checksum_help
aware of this fact by using skb_clone_writable and avoiding a copy for TCP.

I've also modified the BUG_ON tests to be unsigned.  The only case where this
makes a difference is if csum_start points to a location before skb->data.
Since skb->data should always include the header where the checksum field
is (and all currently callers adhere to that), this change is safe and may
uncover bugs later.

65c8846660 [IPV6]: Avoid skb_copy/pskb_copy/skb_realloc_headroom on input
This patch replaces unnecessary uses of skb_copy by pskb_expand_head
on the IPv6 input path.

This allows us to remove the double pointers later.

f61944efdf [IPV6]: Make ipv6_frag_rcv return the same packet
This patch implements the same change taht was done to ip_defrag.  It
makes ipv6_frag_rcv return the last packet received of a train of fragments
rather than the head of that sequence.

This allows us to get rid of the sk_buff ** argument later.

7b995651e3 [BRIDGE]: Unshare skb upon entry
Due to the special location of the bridging hook, it should never see a
shared packet anyway (certainly not with any in-kernel code).  So it
makes sense to unshare the skb there if necessary as that will greatly
simplify the code below it (in particular, netfilter).

f697c3e8b3 [NET]: Avoid unnecessary cloning for ingress filtering
As it is we always invoke pt_prev before ing_filter, even if there are no
ingress filters attached.  This can cause unnecessary cloning in pt_prev.

This patch changes it so that we only invoke pt_prev if there are ingress
filters attached.

776c729e8d [IPV4]: Change ip_defrag to return an integer
Now that ip_frag always returns the packet given to it on input, we can

that and updates all its callers accordingly.

1706d58763 [IPV4]: Make ip_defrag return the same packet
This patch is a bit of a hack.  However it is worth it if you consider that
this is the only reason why we have to carry around the struct sk_buff **
pointers in netfilter.

It makes ip_defrag always return the packet that was given to it on input.
It does this by cloning the packet and replacing its original contents with
the head fragment if necessary.

e0053ec07e [SKBUFF]: Add skb_morph
This patch creates a new function skb_morph that's just like skb_clone
except that it lets user provide the spare skb that will be overwritten
by the one that's to be cloned.

This will be used by IP fragment reassembly so that we get back the same
skb that went in last (rather than the head skb that we get now which
requires us to carry around double pointers all over the place).

dec18810c5 [SKBUFF]: Merge common code between copy_skb_header and skb_clone
This patch creates a new function __copy_skb_header to merge the common
code between copy_skb_header and skb_clone.  Having two functions which
are largely the same is a source of wasted labour as well as confusion.

In fact the tc_verd stuff is almost certainly a bug since it's treated
differently in skb_clone compared to the callers of copy_skb_header
(skb_copy/pskb_copy/skb_copy_expand).

I've kept that difference in tact with a comment added asking for
clarification.
