Pass netns to xfrm_lookup()/__xfrm_lookup(). For that pass netns
to flow_cache_lookup() and resolver callback.

Take it from socket or netdevice. Stub DECnet to init_net.

It's called from __init code only. And__devinit in generic networking code
is pretty strange :^)

It's never used and the comments refer to nonatomic and retry
interchangably. So get rid of it.

None of these files use any of the functionality promised by
asm/semaphore.h.  It's possible that they rely on it dragging in some
unrelated header file, but I can't build all these files, so we'll have
fix any build failures as they come up.

1) We can shrink sizeof(struct flow_cache_entry) by 8 bytes on 64bit arches.
2) No need to align these structures to hardware cache lines, this only waste 
   ram for very litle gain.

<title>[IPSEC] flow: Remove an unnecessary ____cacheline_aligned</title>

<id>5f58a5c8725b48f3e32851f9748527c8d1ff71b2</id>
<content type='text'>
We use a percpu variable named flow_hash_info, which holds 12 bytes.

It is currently marked as ____cacheline_aligned, which makes linker
skip space to properly align this variable.

Before :
c065cc90 D per_cpu__softnet_data
c065cd00 d per_cpu__flow_tables
&lt;Here, hole of 124 bytes&gt;
c065cd80 d per_cpu__flow_hash_info
&lt;Here, hole of 116 bytes&gt;
c065ce00 d per_cpu__flow_flush_tasklets
c065ce14 d per_cpu__rt_cache_stat


This alignement is quite unproductive, and removing it reduces the
size of percpu data (by 240 bytes on my x86 machine), and improves
performance (flow_tables &amp; flow_hash_info can share a single cache
line)

After patch :
c065cc04 D per_cpu__softnet_data
c065cc4c d per_cpu__flow_tables
c065cc50 d per_cpu__flow_hash_info
c065cc5c d per_cpu__flow_flush_tasklets
c065cc70 d per_cpu__rt_cache_stat

Many-many code in the kernel initialized the timer-&gt;function
and  timer-&gt;data together with calling init_timer(timer). There
is already a helper for this. Use it for networking code.

The patch is HUGE, but makes the code 130 lines shorter
(98 insertions(+), 228 deletions(-)).

<title>cpu-hotplug: replace lock_cpu_hotplug() with get_online_cpus()</title>

Replace all lock_cpu_hotplug/unlock_cpu_hotplug from the kernel and use
get_online_cpus and put_online_cpus instead as it highlights the
refcount semantics in these operations.

The new API guarantees protection against the cpu-hotplug operation, but
it doesn't guarantee serialized access to any of the local data
structures. Hence the changes needs to be reviewed.

In case of pseries_add_processor/pseries_remove_processor, use
cpu_maps_update_begin()/cpu_maps_update_done() as we're modifying the
cpu_present_map there.

Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's
c59def9f222d44bb7e2f0a559f2906191a0862d7 change. They've been
BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them
either.

This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create()
completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were
about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves,
or the documentation references).
