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.

Many of the TCP congestion methods all just use ssthresh
as the minimum congestion window on decrease. Rather than
duplicating the code, just have that be the default if that
handle in the ops structure is not set.
Minor behaviour change to TCP compound. It probably wants
to use this (ssthresh) as lower bound, rather than ssthresh/2
because the latter causes undershoot on loss.

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.

Now that we have xfrm_mode objects we can move the transport mode specific
input decapsulation code into xfrm_mode_transport. This removes duplicate
code as well as unnecessary header movement in case of tunnel mode SAs
since we will discard the original IP header immediately.
This also fixes a minor bug for transport-mode ESP where the IP payload
length is set to the correct value minus the header length (with extension
headers for IPv6).
Of course the other neat thing is that we no longer have to allocate
temporary buffers to hold the IP headers for ESP and IPComp.

This patch adds the structure xfrm_mode. It is meant to represent
the operations carried out by transport/tunnel modes.
By doing this we allow additional encapsulation modes to be added
without clogging up the xfrm_input/xfrm_output paths.
Candidate modes include 4-to-6 tunnel mode, 6-to-4 tunnel mode, and
BEET modes.

The number of locks used to manage afinfo structures can easily be reduced
down to one each for policy and state respectively. This is based on the
observation that the write locks are only held by module insertion/removal
which are very rare events so there is no need to further differentiate
between the insertion of modules like ipv6 versus esp6.
The removal of the read locks in xfrm4_policy.c/xfrm6_policy.c might look
suspicious at first. However, after you realise that nobody ever takes
the corresponding write lock you'll feel better :)
As far as I can gather it's an attempt to guard against the removal of
the corresponding modules. Since neither module can be unloaded at all
we can leave it to whoever fixes up IPv6 unloading :)

Add recovery logic when we suspect that the system is re-ordering
MMIOs. Re-ordered MMIOs to the send mailbox can cause bogus tx
completions and hit BUG_ON() in the tx completion path.
tg3 already has logic to handle re-ordered MMIOs by flushing the MMIOs
that must be strictly ordered (such as the send mailbox). Determining
when to enable the flush is currently a manual process of adding known
chipsets to a list.
The new code replaces the BUG_ON() in the tx completion path with the
call to tg3_tx_recover(). It will set the TG3_FLAG_MBOX_WRITE_REORDER
flag and reset the chip later in the workqueue to recover and start
flushing MMIOs to the mailbox.
A message to report the problem will be printed. We will then decide
whether or not to add the host bridge to the list of chipsets that do
re-ordering.
We may add some additional code later to print the host bridge's ID so
that the user can report it more easily.
The assumption that re-ordering can only happen on x86 systems is also
removed.
