Add a net argument to inet6_lookup and propagate it further.

tcp-v4 sockets in a previous patch.

Add a net argument to inet_lookup and propagate it further
into lookup calls. Plus tune the __inet_check_established.

The dccp and inet_diag, which use that lookup functions
pass the init_net into them.

Fixes: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9825

The inet_diag_lock_handler function uses ERR_PTR to encode errors but
its callers were testing against NULL.

This only happens when the only inet_diag modular user, DCCP, is not
built into the kernel or available as a module.

Also there was a problem with not dropping the mutex lock when a handler
was not found, also fixed in this patch.

This caused an OOPS and ss would then hang on subsequent calls, as
&amp;inet_diag_table_mutex was being left locked.

Thanks to spike at ml.yaroslavl.ru for report it after trying 'ss -d'
on a kernel that doesn't have DCCP available.

This bug was introduced in cset
d523a328fb0271e1a763e985a21f2488fd816e7e ("Fix inet_diag dead-lock
regression"), after 2.6.24-rc3, so just 2.6.24 seems to be affected.

The inet_diag register fix broke inet_diag module loading because the
loaded module had to take the same mutex that's already held by the
loader in order to register the new handler.

This patch fixes it by introducing a separate mutex to protect the
handling of handlers.

The following race is possible when one cpu unregisters the handler
while other one is trying to receive a message and call this one:

CPU1:                                                 CPU2:
inet_diag_rcv()                                       inet_diag_unregister()
  mutex_lock(&amp;inet_diag_mutex);
  netlink_rcv_skb(skb, &amp;inet_diag_rcv_msg);
    if (inet_diag_table[nlh-&gt;nlmsg_type] == 
                               NULL) /* false handler is still registered */
    ...
    netlink_dump_start(idiagnl, skb, nlh,
                           inet_diag_dump, NULL);
           cb = kzalloc(sizeof(*cb), GFP_KERNEL);
                   /* sleep here freeing memory 
                    * or preempt
                    * or sleep later on nlk-&gt;cb_mutex
                    */
                                                         spin_lock(&amp;inet_diag_register_lock);
                                                         inet_diag_table[type] = NULL;
    ...                                                  spin_unlock(&amp;inet_diag_register_lock);
                                                         synchronize_rcu();
                                                         /* CPU1 is sleeping - RCU quiescent

                                                          */
                                                         return;
    /* inet_diag_dump is finally called: */
    inet_diag_dump()
      handler = inet_diag_table[cb-&gt;nlh-&gt;nlmsg_type];
      BUG_ON(handler == NULL); 
      /* OOPS! While we slept the unregister has set
       * handler to NULL :(
       */

Grep showed, that the register/unregister functions are called
from init/fini module callbacks for tcp_/dccp_diag, so it's OK
to use the inet_diag_mutex to synchronize manipulations with the
inet_diag_table and the access to it.

Besides, as Herbert pointed out, asynchronous dumps should hold 
this mutex as well, and thus, we provide the mutex as cb_mutex one.

<title>[INET]: Remove per bucket rwlock in tcp/dccp ehash table.</title>

<content type='text'>
As done two years ago on IP route cache table (commit
22c047ccbc68fa8f3fa57f0e8f906479a062c426) , we can avoid using one
lock per hash bucket for the huge TCP/DCCP hash tables.

On a typical x86_64 platform, this saves about 2MB or 4MB of ram, for
litle performance differences. (we hit a different cache line for the
rwlock, but then the bucket cache line have a better sharing factor
among cpus, since we dirty it less often). For netstat or ss commands
that want a full scan of hash table, we perform fewer memory accesses.

Using a 'small' table of hashed rwlocks should be more than enough to
provide correct SMP concurrency between different buckets, without
using too much memory. Sizing of this table depends on
num_possible_cpus() and various CONFIG settings.

This patch provides some locking abstraction that may ease a future
work using a different model for TCP/DCCP table.

This patch make processing netlink user -&gt; kernel messages synchronious.
This change was inspired by the talk with Alexey Kuznetsov about current
netlink messages processing. He says that he was badly wrong when introduced 
asynchronious user -&gt; kernel communication.

The call netlink_unicast is the only path to send message to the kernel
netlink socket. But, unfortunately, it is also used to send data to the
user.

Before this change the user message has been attached to the socket queue
and sk-&gt;sk_data_ready was called. The process has been blocked until all
pending messages were processed. The bad thing is that this processing
may occur in the arbitrary process context.

This patch changes nlk-&gt;data_ready callback to get 1 skb and force packet
processing right in the netlink_unicast.

Kernel -&gt; user path in netlink_unicast remains untouched.

EINTR processing for in netlink_run_queue was changed. It forces rtnl_lock
drop, but the process remains in the cycle until the message will be fully
processed. So, there is no need to use this kludges now.

This patch make processing netlink user -&gt; kernel messages synchronious.
This change was inspired by the talk with Alexey Kuznetsov about current
netlink messages processing. He says that he was badly wrong when introduced 
asynchronious user -&gt; kernel communication.

The call netlink_unicast is the only path to send message to the kernel
netlink socket. But, unfortunately, it is also used to send data to the
user.
