[PATCH] Add initial implementation of klist helpers.

This klist interface provides a couple of structures that wrap around
struct list_head to provide explicit list "head" (struct klist) and
list "node" (struct klist_node) objects. For struct klist, a spinlock
is included that protects access to the actual list itself. struct
klist_node provides a pointer to the klist that owns it and a kref
reference count that indicates the number of current users of that node
in the list.

The entire point is to provide an interface for iterating over a list
that is safe and allows for modification of the list during the
iteration (e.g. insertion and removal), including modification of the
current node on the list.

It works using a 3rd object type - struct klist_iter - that is declared
and initialized before an iteration. klist_next() is used to acquire the
next element in the list. It returns NULL if there are no more items.

There are primitives for adding and removing nodes to/from a klist.
When deleting, klist_del() will simply decrement the reference count.
Only when the count goes to 0 is the node removed from the list.
klist_remove() will try to delete the node from the list and block
until it is actually removed. This is useful for objects (like devices)

This makes sense since this function is only ever called from one
location, and the value passed as the third parameter in that location is
itself of type size_t, so this makes the recieving functions parameter
type match. Also, inside raw_send_hdrinc() the 'length' variable is
used in comparisons with unsigned values and passed as parameter to
functions expecting unsigned values (it's used in a single comparison with
a signed value, but that one can never actually be negative so the patch
also casts that one to size_t to stop gcc worrying, and it is passed in a
single instance to memcpy_fromiovecend() which expects a signed int, but
as far as I can see that's not a problem since the value of 'length'

gcc -W generates this warning :

Changing 'i' to unsigned silences this warning and is safe since the array

[NET] Generalise TCP's struct open_request minisock infrastructure

ease peer review.

Basicaly tcp_openreq_alloc now receives the or_calltable, that in turn
has two new members:

->slab, that replaces tcp_openreq_cachep
->obj_size, to inform the size of the openreq descendant for
  a specific protocol

class hierarchy, with the things that are common to all connection
oriented PF_INET protocols in struct inet_request_sock, the TCP ones
in tcp_request_sock, that is an inet_request_sock, that is an
open_request.

I.e. this uses the same approach used for the struct sock class
hierarchy, with sk_prot indicating if the protocol wants to use the
open_request infrastructure by filling in sk_prot->rsk_prot with an
or_calltable.

Results? Performance is improved and TCP v4 now uses only 64 bytes per
open request minisock, down from 96 without this patch :-)

fail. We hold two references (one from xfrm_state_alloc(), one
from xfrm_state_hold()), but only drop one. We need to take the

[IPSEC] Kill spurious hard expire messages

This patch ensures that the hard state/policy expire notifications are
only sent when the state/policy is successfully removed from their
respective tables.

As it is, it's possible for a state/policy to both expire through
reaching a hard limit, as well as being deleted by the user.

Note that this behaviour isn't actually forbidden by RFC 2367.
However, it is a quality of implementation issue.

As an added bonus, the restructuring in this patch will help
eventually in moving the expire notifications from softirq
context into process context, thus improving their reliability.

One important side-effect from this change is that SAs reaching
their hard byte/packet limits are now deleted immediately, just
like SAs that have reached their hard time limits.

Previously they were announced immediately but only deleted after
30 seconds.

This is bad because it prevents the system from issuing an ACQUIRE
command until the existing state was deleted by the user or expires
after the time is up.

In the scenario where the expire notification was lost this introduces
a 30 second delay into the system for no good reason.
