Brian Haley d5fdd6babc ipv6: Use correct data types for ICMPv6 type and code
Change all the code that deals directly with ICMPv6 type and code
values to use u8 instead of a signed int as that's the actual data
type.

commit 2b85a34e91
(net: No more expensive sock_hold()/sock_put() on each tx)
changed initial sk_wmem_alloc value.

We need to take into account this offset when reporting

Neil Horman edf391ff17 snmp: add missing counters for RFC 4293
The IP MIB (RFC 4293) defines stats for InOctets, OutOctets, InMcastOctets and
OutMcastOctets:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4293
But it seems we don't track those in any way that easy to separate from other
protocols.  This patch adds those missing counters to the stats file. Tested
successfully by me

With help from Eric Dumazet.

Eric Dumazet cb61cb9b8b udp: sk_drops handling
In commits 33c732c361 ([IPV4]: Add raw
drops counter) and a92aa318b4 ([IPV6]:
Add raw drops counter), Wang Chen added raw drops counter for
/proc/net/raw & /proc/net/raw6

This patch adds this capability to UDP sockets too (/proc/net/udp &
/proc/net/udp6).

This means that 'RcvbufErrors' errors found in /proc/net/snmp can be also
be examined for each udp socket.

# grep Udp: /proc/net/snmp

David S. Miller f23d60de71 ipv6: Fix duplicate initialization of rawv6_prot.destroy
In changeset 22dd485022
("raw: Raw socket leak.") code was added so that we
flush pending frames on raw sockets to avoid leaks.

The ipv4 part was fine, but the ipv6 part was not
done correctly.  Unlike the ipv4 side, the ipv6 code
already has a .destroy method for rawv6_prot.

So now there were two assignments to this member, and
what the compiler does is use the last one, effectively
making the ipv6 parts of that changeset a NOP.

Fix this by removing the:

	.destroy	   = inet6_destroy_sock,

line, and adding an inet6_destroy_sock() call to the
end of raw6_destroy().

Noticed by Al Viro.

Denis V. Lunev 22dd485022 raw: Raw socket leak.
The program below just leaks the raw kernel socket

int main() {
        int fd = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_RAW, IPPROTO_UDP);
        struct sockaddr_in addr;

        memset(&addr, 0, sizeof(addr));
        inet_aton("127.0.0.1", &addr.sin_addr);
        addr.sin_family = AF_INET;
        addr.sin_port = htons(2048);
        sendto(fd,  "a", 1, MSG_MORE, &addr, sizeof(addr));
        return 0;
}

Corked packet is allocated via sock_wmalloc which holds the owner socket,
so one should uncork it and flush all pending data on close. Do this in the
same way as in UDP.

Brian Haley 876c7f4196 [IPv6]: Change IPv6 unspecified destination address to ::1 for raw and un-connected sockets
This patch fixes a difference between IPv4 and IPv6 when sending packets
to the unspecified address (either 0.0.0.0 or ::) when using raw or
un-connected UDP sockets.  There are two cases where IPv6 either fails
to send anything, or sends with the destination address set to ::.  For
example:

--> ping -c1 0.0.0.0
PING 0.0.0.0 (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.032 ms

--> ping6 -c1 ::
PING ::(::) 56 data bytes
ping: sendmsg: Invalid argument

Doing a sendto("0.0.0.0") reveals:

10:55:01.495090 IP localhost.32780 > localhost.7639: UDP, length 100

Doing a sendto("::") reveals:

10:56:13.262478 IP6 fe80::217:8ff:fe7d:4718.32779 > ::.7639: UDP, length 100

If you issue a connect() first in the UDP case, it will be sent to ::1,
similar to what happens with TCP.

This restores the BSD-ism.

Pavel Emelyanov cf7732e4cc [NET]: Make core networking code use seq_open_private
This concerns the ipv4 and ipv6 code mostly, but also the netlink
and unix sockets.

The netlink code is an example of how to use the __seq_open_private()
call - it saves the net namespace on this private.

Eric W. Biederman 881d966b48 [NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace.
This patch makes most of the generic device layer network
namespace safe.  This patch makes dev_base_head a
network namespace variable, and then it picks up
a few associated variables.  The functions:
dev_getbyhwaddr
dev_getfirsthwbytype
dev_get_by_flags
dev_get_by_name
__dev_get_by_name
dev_get_by_index
__dev_get_by_index
dev_ioctl
dev_ethtool
dev_load
wireless_process_ioctl

were modified to take a network namespace argument, and
deal with it.

vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their
hooks will receive a network namespace argument.

So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was
affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle
multiple network namespaces.  The rest of the network stack was
simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network
namespace.  This can be fixed when those components of the network
stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces.

For now the ifindex generator is left global.

Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else
we will have corner case problems with migration when
we get that far.

At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack
that the ifindex of a network device won't change.  Making
the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until
the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when
you change namespaces, and the like.

Eric W. Biederman 457c4cbc5a [NET]: Make /proc/net per network namespace
This patch makes /proc/net per network namespace.  It modifies the global
variables proc_net and proc_net_stat to be per network namespace.
The proc_net file helpers are modified to take a network namespace argument,
and all of their callers are fixed to pass &init_net for that argument.
This ensures that all of the /proc/net files are only visible and
usable in the initial network namespace until the code behind them
has been updated to be handle multiple network namespaces.

Making /proc/net per namespace is necessary as at least some files
in /proc/net depend upon the set of network devices which is per
network namespace, and even more files in /proc/net have contents
that are relevant to a single network namespace.
