It is the same patch as before, but I have built in Arnaldo's suggestions
pointed out in that posting.

The data itself is already charged to the SKB, doing
the skb_set_owner_w() just generates a lot of noise and
extra atomics we don't really need.
Lmbench improvements on lat_tcp are minimal:
before:
TCP latency using localhost: 23.2701 microseconds
TCP latency using localhost: 23.1994 microseconds
TCP latency using localhost: 23.2257 microseconds
after:
TCP latency using localhost: 22.8380 microseconds
TCP latency using localhost: 22.9465 microseconds
TCP latency using localhost: 22.8462 microseconds

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

An alternate solution would be to make the digest a pointer, allocate
it in sctp_endpoint_init() and free it in sctp_endpoint_destroy().
I guess I should have originally done it this way...
CC [M] net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.o
net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c: In function 'sctp_unpack_cookie':
net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c:1358: warning: initialization discards qualifiers from pointer target type
The reason is that sctp_unpack_cookie() takes a const struct
sctp_endpoint and modifies the digest in it (digest being embedded in
the struct, not a pointer). Make digest a pointer to fix this
warning.

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.

Based on patch by Patrick McHardy.
Add a new option, NET_SCH_FIFO, which provides a simple fifo qdisc
without requiring CONFIG_NET_SCHED.
The d80211 stack needs a generic fifo qdisc for WME. At present it
uses net/d80211/fifo_qdisc.c which is functionally equivalent to
sch_fifo.c. This patch will allow the d80211 stack to remove
net/d80211/fifo_qdisc.c and use sch_fifo.c instead.

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.

nfmark is being used in various subsystems and has become
the defacto mark field for all kinds of packets. Therefore
it makes sense to rename it to `mark' and remove the
dependency on CONFIG_NETFILTER.

Fix the selection of an SA for an outgoing packet to be at the same
context as the originating socket/flow. This eliminates the SELinux
policy's ability to use/sendto SAs with contexts other than the socket's.
With this patch applied, the SELinux policy will require one or more of the
following for a socket to be able to communicate with/without SAs:
1. To enable a socket to communicate without using labeled-IPSec SAs:
allow socket_t unlabeled_t:association { sendto recvfrom }
2. To enable a socket to communicate with labeled-IPSec SAs:
allow socket_t self:association { sendto };
allow socket_t peer_sa_t:association { recvfrom };

Since the upstreaming of the mlsxfrm modification a few months back,
testing has resulted in the identification of the following issues/bugs that
are resolved in this patch set.
1. Fix the security context used in the IKE negotiation to be the context
of the socket as opposed to the context of the SPD rule.
2. Fix SO_PEERSEC for tcp sockets to return the security context of
the peer as opposed to the source.
3. Fix the selection of an SA for an outgoing packet to be at the same
context as the originating socket/flow.
The following would be the result of applying this patchset:
- SO_PEERSEC will now correctly return the peer's context.
- IKE deamons will receive the context of the source socket/flow
as opposed to the SPD rule's context so that the negotiated SA
will be at the same context as the source socket/flow.
- The SELinux policy will require one or more of the
following for a socket to be able to communicate with/without SAs:
1. To enable a socket to communicate without using labeled-IPSec SAs:
allow socket_t unlabeled_t:association { sendto recvfrom }
2. To enable a socket to communicate with labeled-IPSec SAs:
allow socket_t self:association { sendto };
allow socket_t peer_sa_t:association { recvfrom };
This Patch: Pass correct security context to IKE for use in negotiation
Fix the security context passed to IKE for use in negotiation to be the
context of the socket as opposed to the context of the SPD rule so that
the SA carries the label of the originating socket/flow.
