Use CPU native page size to determine various ring sizes. This allows
order-0 memory allocations on all systems.
Added check to limit the page size to 16K since that's the maximum rx
ring size that will be used. This will prevent using unnecessarily
large page sizes on some architectures with large page sizes.

In ppp_receive_nonmp_frame, we call pskb_may_pull(skb, skb->len) if the
tailroom is >= 124. This is pointless because this pskb_may_pull is only
needed if the skb is non-linear. However, if it is non-linear then the
tailroom would be zero.
So it can be safely removed.

The linearisation operation doesn't need to be super-optimised. So we can
replace __skb_linearize with __pskb_pull_tail which does the same thing but
is more general.
Also, most users of skb_linearize end up testing whether the skb is linear
or not so it helps to make skb_linearize do just that.
Some callers of skb_linearize also use it to copy cloned data, so it's
useful to have a new function skb_linearize_cow to copy the data if it's
either non-linear or cloned.
Last but not least, I've removed the gfp argument since nobody uses it
anymore. If it's ever needed we can easily add it back.

Various drivers use xmit_lock internally to synchronise with their
transmission routines. They do so without setting xmit_lock_owner.
This is fine as long as netpoll is not in use.
With netpoll it is possible for deadlocks to occur if xmit_lock_owner
isn't set. This is because if a printk occurs while xmit_lock is held
and xmit_lock_owner is not set can cause netpoll to attempt to take
xmit_lock recursively.
While it is possible to resolve this by getting netpoll to use
trylock, it is suboptimal because netpoll's sole objective is to
maximise the chance of getting the printk out on the wire. So
delaying or dropping the message is to be avoided as much as possible.
So the only alternative is to always set xmit_lock_owner. The
following patch does this by introducing the netif_tx_lock family of
functions that take care of setting/unsetting xmit_lock_owner.
I renamed xmit_lock to _xmit_lock to indicate that it should not be
used directly. I didn't provide irq versions of the netif_tx_lock
functions since xmit_lock is meant to be a BH-disabling lock.
This is pretty much a straight text substitution except for a small
bug fix in winbond. It currently uses
netif_stop_queue/spin_unlock_wait to stop transmission. This is
unsafe as an IRQ can potentially wake up the queue. So it is safer to
use netif_tx_disable.
The hamradio bits used spin_lock_irq but it is unnecessary as
xmit_lock must never be taken in an IRQ handler.

Add new per-packet access controls to SELinux, replacing the old
packet controls.
Packets are labeled with the iptables SECMARK and CONNSECMARK targets,
then security policy for the packets is enforced with these controls.
To allow for a smooth transition to the new controls, the old code is
still present, but not active by default. To restore previous
behavior, the old controls may be activated at runtime by writing a
'1' to /selinux/compat_net, and also via the kernel boot parameter
selinux_compat_net. Switching between the network control models
requires the security load_policy permission. The old controls will
probably eventually be removed and any continued use is discouraged.
With this patch, the new secmark controls for SElinux are disabled by
default, so existing behavior is entirely preserved, and the user is
not affected at all.
It also provides a config option to enable the secmark controls by
default (which can always be overridden at boot and runtime). It is
also noted in the kconfig help that the user will need updated
userspace if enabling secmark controls for SELinux and that they'll
probably need the SECMARK and CONNMARK targets, and conntrack protocol
helpers, although such decisions are beyond the scope of kernel
configuration.

Add a new xtables target, CONNSECMARK, which is used to specify rules
for copying security marks from packets to connections, and for
copyying security marks back from connections to packets. This is
similar to the CONNMARK target, but is more limited in scope in that
it only allows copying of security marks to and from packets, as this
is all it needs to do.
A typical scenario would be to apply a security mark to a 'new' packet
with SECMARK, then copy that to its conntrack via CONNMARK, and then
restore the security mark from the connection to established and
related packets on that connection.

Secmark implements a new scheme for adding security markings to
packets via iptables, as well as changes to SELinux to use these
markings for security policy enforcement. The rationale for this
scheme is explained and discussed in detail in the original threads:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/34927/
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/35244/
Examples of policy and rulesets, as well as a full archive of patches
for iptables and SELinux userland, may be found at:
http://people.redhat.com/jmorris/selinux/secmark/
The code has been tested with various compilation options and in
several scenarios, including with 'complicated' protocols such as FTP
and also with the new generic conntrack code with IPv6 connection
tracking.
This patch:
Add support for a new object class ('packet'), and associated
permissions ('send', 'recv', 'relabelto'). These are used to enforce
security policy for network packets labeled with SECMARK, and for
adding labeling rules.

This patch contains a fix for the previous patch that adds security
contexts to IPsec policies and security associations. In the previous
patch, no authorization (besides the check for write permissions to
SAD and SPD) is required to delete IPsec policies and security
assocations with security contexts. Thus a user authorized to change
SAD and SPD can bypass the IPsec policy authorization by simply
deleteing policies with security contexts. To fix this security hole,
an additional authorization check is added for removing security
policies and security associations with security contexts.
Note that if no security context is supplied on add or present on
policy to be deleted, the SELinux module allows the change
unconditionally. The hook is called on deletion when no context is
present, which we may want to change. At present, I left it up to the
module.
LSM changes:
The patch adds two new LSM hooks: xfrm_policy_delete and
xfrm_state_delete. The new hooks are necessary to authorize deletion
of IPsec policies that have security contexts. The existing hooks
xfrm_policy_free and xfrm_state_free lack the context to do the
authorization, so I decided to split authorization of deletion and
memory management of security data, as is typical in the LSM
interface.
Use:
The new delete hooks are checked when xfrm_policy or xfrm_state are
deleted by either the xfrm_user interface (xfrm_get_policy,
xfrm_del_sa) or the pfkey interface (pfkey_spddelete, pfkey_delete).
SELinux changes:
The new policy_delete and state_delete functions are added.

TCP Veno module is a new congestion control module to improve TCP
performance over wireless networks. The key innovation in TCP Veno is
the enhancement of TCP Reno/Sack congestion control algorithm by using
the estimated state of a connection based on TCP Vegas. This scheme
significantly reduces "blind" reduction of TCP window regardless of
the cause of packet loss.
This work is based on the research paper "TCP Veno: TCP Enhancement
for Transmission over Wireless Access Networks." C. P. Fu, S. C. Liew,
IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communication, Feb. 2003.

TCP Low Priority is a distributed algorithm whose goal is to utilize only
the excess network bandwidth as compared to the ``fair share`` of
bandwidth as targeted by TCP. Available from:
http://www.ece.rice.edu/~akuzma/Doc/akuzma/TCP-LP.pdf
Original Author:
Aleksandar Kuzmanovic <akuzma@northwestern.edu>
See http://www-ece.rice.edu/networks/TCP-LP/ for their implementation.
As of 2.6.13, Linux supports pluggable congestion control algorithms.
Due to the limitation of the API, we take the following changes from
the original TCP-LP implementation:
o We use newReno in most core CA handling. Only add some checking
within cong_avoid.
o Error correcting in remote HZ, therefore remote HZ will be keeped
on checking and updating.
o Handling calculation of One-Way-Delay (OWD) within rtt_sample, sicne
OWD have a similar meaning as RTT. Also correct the buggy formular.
o Handle reaction for Early Congestion Indication (ECI) within
pkts_acked, as mentioned within pseudo code.
o OWD is handled in relative format, where local time stamp will in
tcp_time_stamp format.

routing-based heuristic
Call Forwarding doesn't need to create an expectation if both peers can
reach each other without our help. The internal_net_addr parameter
lets the user explicitly specify a single network where this is true,
but is not very flexible and even fails in the common case that calls
will both be forwarded to outside parties and inside parties. Use an
optional heuristic based on routing instead, the assumption is that
if bpth the outgoing device and the gateway are equal, both peers can
reach each other directly.
