neigh_changeaddr attempts to delete neighbour timers without setting
nud_state.  This doesn't work because the timer may have already fired
when we acquire the write lock in neigh_changeaddr.  The result is that
the timer may keep firing for quite a while until the entry reaches
NEIGH_FAILED.

It should be setting the nud_state straight away so that if the timer
has already fired it can simply exit once we relinquish the lock.

In fact, this whole function is simply duplicating the logic in
neigh_ifdown which in turn is already doing the right thing when
it comes to deleting timers and setting nud_state.

So all we have to do is take that code out and put it into a common
function and make both neigh_changeaddr and neigh_ifdown call it.

neigh_add_timer cannot use add_timer unconditionally.  The reason is that
by the time it has obtained the write lock someone else (e.g., neigh_update)
could have already added a new timer.

So it should only use mod_timer and deal with its return value accordingly.

This bug would have led to rare neighbour cache entry leaks.

Stack traces are very helpful in determining the exact nature of a bug.
So let's print a stack trace when the timer is added twice.

If we double-add a neighbour entry timer, which should be
impossible but has been reported, dump the current state of
the entry so that we can debug this.

From: Amos Waterland <apw@us.ibm.com>

If CONFIG_PROC_FS is not selected, the compiler emits this warning:

 net/core/neighbour.c:64: warning: `neigh_stat_seq_fops' defined but not used

Which is correct, because neigh_stat_seq_fops is in fact only
initialized and used by code that is protected by CONFIG_PROC_FS.  So
this patch fixes that up.

This patch creates a new kstrdup library function and changes the "local"
implementations in several places to use this function.

Most of the changes come from the sound and net subsystems.  The sound part
had already been acknowledged by Takashi Iwai and the net part by David S.
Miller.

I left UML alone for now because I would need more time to read the code
carefully before making changes there.

Introduces a new macro NLMSG_NEW which extends NLMSG_PUT but takes
a flags argument. NLMSG_PUT stays there for compatibility but now
calls NLMSG_NEW with flags == 0. NLMSG_PUT_ANSWER is renamed to
NLMSG_NEW_ANSWER which now also takes a flags argument.

Also converts the users of NLMSG_PUT_ANSWER to use NLMSG_NEW_ANSWER
and fixes the two direct users of __nlmsg_put to either provide
the flags or use NLMSG_NEW(_ANSWER).

To retrieve the neighbour tables send RTM_GETNEIGHTBL with the
NLM_F_DUMP flag set. Every neighbour table configuration is
spread over multiple messages to avoid running into message
size limits on systems with many interfaces. The first message
in the sequence transports all not device specific data such as
statistics, configuration, and the default parameter set.
This message is followed by 0..n messages carrying device
specific parameter sets.

Although the ordering should be sufficient, NDTA_NAME can be
used to identify sequences. The initial message can be identified
by checking for NDTA_CONFIG. The device specific messages do
not contain this TLV but have NDTPA_IFINDEX set to the
corresponding interface index.

To change neighbour table attributes, send RTM_SETNEIGHTBL
with NDTA_NAME set. Changeable attribute include NDTA_THRESH[1-3],
NDTA_GC_INTERVAL, and all TLVs in NDTA_PARMS unless marked
otherwise. Device specific parameter sets can be changed by
setting NDTPA_IFINDEX to the interface index of the corresponding
device.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
