RFC 2367 says flushing behavior should be:
1) user space -> kernel: flush
2) kernel: flush
3) kernel -> user space: flush event to ALL listeners

This is not realistic today in the presence of selinux policies
which may reject the flush etc. So we make the sequence become:
1) user space -> kernel: flush
2) kernel: flush
3) kernel -> user space: flush response to originater from #1
4) if there were no errors then:
kernel -> user space: flush event to ALL listeners

This patch fixes a bug that triggers an assertion if you create
a conntrack entry with a helper and netfilter debugging is enabled.
Basically, we hit the assertion because the confirmation flag is
set before the conntrack extensions are added. To fix this, we
move the extension addition before the aforementioned flag is
set.

This patch also removes the possibility of setting a helper for
existing conntracks. This operation would also trigger the
assertion since we are not allowed to add new extensions for
existing conntracks. We know noone that could benefit from
this operation sanely.

Thanks to Eric Dumazet for initial posting a preliminary patch
to address this issue.

Traffic (tcp) doesnot start on a vlan interface when gro is enabled.
Even the tcp handshake was not taking place.
This is because, the eth_type_trans call before the netif_receive_skb
in napi_gro_finish() resets the skb->dev to napi->dev from the previously
set vlan netdev interface. This causes the ip_route_input to drop the
incoming packet considering it as a packet coming from a martian source.

I could repro this on 2.6.32.7 (stable) and 2.6.33-rc7.
With this fix, the traffic starts and the test runs fine on both vlan
and non-vlan interfaces.

Stop computing the number of neighbour table settings we have by
counting the number of binary sysctls.  This behaviour was silly
and meant that we could not add another neighbour table setting

into neigh_sysctl_register.  These parameters are no longer

When ipcomp_tunnel_attach fails we will call ipcomp_destroy twice.

As there is no reason to explicitly call ipcomp_destroy, this patch
removes it from ipcomp*.c and lets the standard xfrm_state destruction
take place.

This is based on the discovery and patch by Alexey Dobriyan.

Signed-off-by: NFlorian Westphal <fwestphal@astaro.com>

ebt_limit structure is larger on 64 bit systems due

Signed-off-by: NFlorian Westphal <fwestphal@astaro.com>

ebtables can be compiled to perform userspace-side padding of
structures. In that case, all the structures are already in the
'native' format expected by the kernel.

This tries to determine what format the userspace program is
using.

For most set/getsockopts, this can be done by checking
the len argument for sizeof(compat_ebt_replace) and
re-trying the native handler on error.

In case of EBT_SO_GET_ENTRIES, the native handler is tried first,
it will error out early when checking the *len argument
(the compat version has to defer this check until after
 iterating over the kernel data set once, to adjust for all
 the structure size differences).

As this would cause error printks, remove those as well, as
recommended by Bart de Schuymer.

Main code for 32 bit userland ebtables binary with 64 bit kernels
support.

Tested on x86_64 kernel only, using 64bit ebtables binary
for output comparision.

At least ebt_mark, m_mark and ebt_limit need CONFIG_COMPAT hooks, too.

remaining problem:

The ebtables userland makefile has:
ifeq ($(shell uname -m),sparc64)
	CFLAGS+=-DEBT_MIN_ALIGN=8 -DKERNEL_64_USERSPACE_32
endif

struct ebt_replace, ebt_entry_match etc. then contain userland-side
padding, i.e.  even if we are called from a 32 bit userland, the
structures may already be in the right format.

This problem is addressed in a follow-up patch.
