a) struct inode is not going to be freed under -&gt;d_compare();
however, the thing PROC_I(inode)-&gt;sysctl points to just might.
Fortunately, it's enough to make freeing that sucker delayed,
provided that we don't step on its -&gt;unregistering, clear
the pointer to it in PROC_I(inode) before dropping the reference
and check if it's NULL in -&gt;d_compare().

b) I'm not sure that we *can* walk into NULL inode here (we recheck
dentry-&gt;seq between verifying that it's still hashed / fetching
dentry-&gt;d_inode and passing it to -&gt;d_compare() and there's no
negative hashed dentries in /proc/sys/*), but if we can walk into
that, we really should not have -&gt;d_compare() return 0 on it!
Said that, I really suspect that this check can be simply killed.

The new function can be used to read/write large bitmaps via /proc. A
comma separated range format is used for compact output and input
(e.g. 1,3-4,10-10).

Writing into the file will first reset the bitmap then update it
based on the given input.

Stop computing the number of neighbour table settings we have by
counting the number of binary sysctls.  This behaviour was silly
and meant that we could not add another neighbour table setting
without also adding another binary sysctl.

Don't pass the binary sysctl path for neighour table entries
into neigh_sysctl_register.  These parameters are no longer
used and so are just dead code.

Stop using the binary sysctl enumeartion in sysctl.h as an index into
a per interface array.  This leads to unnecessary binary sysctl number
allocation, and a fragility in data structure and implementation
because of unnecessary coupling.

<title>net: RFC3069, private VLAN proxy arp support</title>

This is to be used together with switch technologies, like RFC3069,
that where the individual ports are not allowed to communicate with
each other, but they are allowed to talk to the upstream router.  As
described in RFC 3069, it is possible to allow these hosts to
communicate through the upstream router by proxy_arp'ing.

This patch basically allow proxy arp replies back to the same
interface (from which the ARP request/solicitation was received).

Tunable per device via proc "proxy_arp_pvlan":
  /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/proxy_arp_pvlan

This switch technology is known by different vendor names:
 - In RFC 3069 it is called VLAN Aggregation.
 - Cisco and Allied Telesyn call it Private VLAN.
 - Hewlett-Packard call it Source-Port filtering or port-isolation.
 - Ericsson call it MAC-Forced Forwarding (RFC Draft).

when using policy routing and the skb mark:
there are cases where a back path validation requires us
to use a different routing table for src ip validation than
the one used for mapping ingress dst ip.
One such a case is transparent proxying where we pretend to be
the destination system and therefore the local table
is used for incoming packets but possibly a main table would
be used on outbound.
Make the default behavior to allow the above and if users
need to turn on the symmetry via sysctl src_valid_mark
