The generic netlink family builds on top of netlink and provides
simplifies access for the less demanding netlink users. It solves
the problem of protocol numbers running out by introducing a so
called controller taking care of id management and name resolving.
Generic netlink modules register themself after filling out their
id card (struct genl_family), after successful registration the
modules are able to register callbacks to command numbers by
filling out a struct genl_ops and calling genl_register_op(). The
registered callbacks are invoked with attributes parsed making
life of simple modules a lot easier.
Although generic netlink modules can request static identifiers,
it is recommended to use GENL_ID_GENERATE and to let the controller
assign a unique identifier to the module. Userspace applications
will then ask the controller and lookup the idenfier by the module
name.
Due to the current multicast implementation of netlink, the number
of generic netlink modules is restricted to 1024 to avoid wasting
memory for the per socket multiacst subscription bitmask.

Introduces netlink_run_queue() to handle the receive queue of
a netlink socket in a generic way. Processes as much as there
was in the queue upon entry and invokes a callback function
for each netlink message found. The callback function may
refuse a message by returning a negative error code but setting
the error pointer to 0 in which case netlink_run_queue() will
return with a qlen != 0.

Introduces a new type-safe interface for netlink message and
attributes handling. The interface is fully binary compatible
with the old interface towards userspace. Besides type safety,
this interface features attribute validation capabilities,
simplified message contstruction, and documentation.
The resulting netlink code should be smaller, less error prone
and easier to understand.

The existing connection tracking subsystem in netfilter can only
handle ipv4. There were basically two choices present to add
connection tracking support for ipv6. We could either duplicate all
of the ipv4 connection tracking code into an ipv6 counterpart, or (the
choice taken by these patches) we could design a generic layer that
could handle both ipv4 and ipv6 and thus requiring only one sub-protocol
(TCP, UDP, etc.) connection tracking helper module to be written.
In fact nf_conntrack is capable of working with any layer 3
protocol.
The existing ipv4 specific conntrack code could also not deal
with the pecularities of doing connection tracking on ipv6,
which is also cured here. For example, these issues include:
1) ICMPv6 handling, which is used for neighbour discovery in
ipv6 thus some messages such as these should not participate
in connection tracking since effectively they are like ARP
messages
2) fragmentation must be handled differently in ipv6, because
the simplistic "defrag, connection track and NAT, refrag"
(which the existing ipv4 connection tracking does) approach simply
isn't feasible in ipv6
3) ipv6 extension header parsing must occur at the correct spots
before and after connection tracking decisions, and there were
no provisions for this in the existing connection tracking
design
4) ipv6 has no need for stateful NAT
The ipv4 specific conntrack layer is kept around, until all of
the ipv4 specific conntrack helpers are ported over to nf_conntrack
and it is feature complete. Once that occurs, the old conntrack
stuff will get placed into the feature-removal-schedule and we will
fully kill it off 6 months later.

AGP shouldn't use "global_flush_tlb()" to flush the AGP mappings, that i
spurely an x86'ism. The proper AGP mapping flusher that should be used
is "flush_agp_mappings()", which on x86 obviously happens to do a global
TLB flush.
This makes AGP (or at least the config _I_ happen to use) compile again
on ppc64.

Without this patch, any user can cause nfnetlink subsystems to be
autoloaded. Those subsystems however could add significant processing
overhead to packet processing, and would refuse any configuration messages
from non-CAP_NET_ADMIN processes anyway.
This patch follows a suggestion from Patrick McHardy.

The reply tuple of the PNS->PAC expectation was using the wrong call id.
So we had the following situation:
- PNS behind NAT firewall
- PNS call id requires NATing
- PNS->PAC gre packet arrives first
then the PNS->PAC expectation is matched, and the other expectation
is deleted, but the PAC->PNS gre packets do not match the gre conntrack
because the call id is wrong.
We also cannot use ip_nat_follow_master().

The current sync_action for an array can be one of
idle - nothing happening
resync - reduncancy being recalcualted
recover - missing device being recoverred to spare
check - user initiated check of redundancy
repair - like resync but user-initiated and ignores
bitmap optimisation.
Each of these strings can also be written to the 'sync_action' file to cause
that action to happen (if appropriate).
While 'sync' is not technically correct, as a recovery is *not* a 'sync', I
think it is the most servicable word here. Also 'action' is a strong word
than 'mode'.

There are a few loose ends following the conversion of md to use kthreads:
- Some fields in mdk_thread_t that aren't needed (kthreads does it's own
completion and manages it's own name).
- thread->run is now never NULL, so no need to check
- Some tests for signal_pending that aren't needed (As we don't use signals
to stop threads any more)
- Some flush_signals are not needed
- Some waits are interruptible and don't need to be.

The 'auto-readonly' flag (which suppresses resync and superblock updates until

Some, but not all, md array support data redundancy and hence support checking
and restoring that redundancy (resync, rebuild).
Some attributes apply specifically to functions involving this redundancy, and
so should only appear for md arrays for which they are meaningful. i.e. they
should not appear for raid0, linear, multpath, faulty.
This patch separates these into a distinct group and creates the group only if
the personality supports sync_request.

sysfs
1/ I really should be using the __ATTR macros for defining attributes, so
that the .owner field get set properly, otherwise modules can be removed
while sysfs files are open. This also involves some name changes of _show
routines.
2/ Always lock the mddev (against reconfiguration) for all sysfs attribute
access. This easily avoid certain races and is completely consistant with
other interfaces (ioctl and /proc/mdstat both always lock against
reconfiguration).
3/ raid5 attributes must check that the 'conf' structure actually exists
(the array could have been stopped while an attribute file was open).
4/ A missing 'kfree' from when the raid5_conf_t was converted to have a
kobject embedded, and then converted back again.
