The simplest thing to implement is moving network devices between
namespaces. However with the same attribute IFLA_NET_NS_PID we can
easily implement creating devices in the destination network
namespace as well. However that is a little bit trickier so this
patch sticks to what is simple and easy.
A pid is used to identify a process that happens to be a member
of the network namespace we want to move the network device to.

This patch introduces NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL a flag to indicate
a network device is local to a single network namespace and
should never be moved. Useful for pseudo devices that we
need an instance in each network namespace (like the loopback
device) and for any device we find that cannot handle multiple
network namespaces so we may trap them in the initial network
namespace.
This patch introduces the function dev_change_net_namespace
a function used to move a network device from one network
namespace to another. To the network device nothing
special appears to happen, to the components of the network
stack it appears as if the network device was unregistered
in the network namespace it is in, and a new device
was registered in the network namespace the device
was moved to.
This patch sets up a namespace device destructor that
upon the exit of a network namespace moves all of the
movable network devices to the initial network namespace
so they are not lost.

When forcibly changing the network namespace of a device

This patch makes most of the generic device layer network
namespace safe. This patch makes dev_base_head a
network namespace variable, and then it picks up
a few associated variables. The functions:
dev_getbyhwaddr
dev_getfirsthwbytype
dev_get_by_flags
dev_get_by_name
__dev_get_by_name
dev_get_by_index
__dev_get_by_index
dev_ioctl
dev_ethtool
dev_load
wireless_process_ioctl
were modified to take a network namespace argument, and
deal with it.
vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their
hooks will receive a network namespace argument.
So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was
affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle
multiple network namespaces. The rest of the network stack was
simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network
namespace. This can be fixed when those components of the network
stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces.
For now the ifindex generator is left global.
Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else
we will have corner case problems with migration when
we get that far.
At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack
that the ifindex of a network device won't change. Making
the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until
the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when
you change namespaces, and the like.

Each netlink socket will live in exactly one network namespace,
this includes the controlling kernel sockets.
This patch updates all of the existing netlink protocols
to only support the initial network namespace. Request
by clients in other namespaces will get -ECONREFUSED.
As they would if the kernel did not have the support for
that netlink protocol compiled in.
As each netlink protocol is updated to be multiple network
namespace safe it can register multiple kernel sockets
to acquire a presence in the rest of the network namespaces.
The implementation in af_netlink is a simple filter implementation
at hash table insertion and hash table look up time.

Every user of the network device notifiers is either a protocol
stack or a pseudo device. If a protocol stack that does not have
support for multiple network namespaces receives an event for a
device that is not in the initial network namespace it quite possibly
can get confused and do the wrong thing.
To avoid problems until all of the protocol stacks are converted
this patch modifies all netdev event handlers to ignore events on
devices that are not in the initial network namespace.
As the rest of the code is made network namespace aware these
checks can be removed.

This patch modifies every packet receive function
registered with dev_add_pack() to drop packets if they
are not from the initial network namespace.

Except for carefully selected pseudo devices all network
interfaces should start out in the initial network namespace.
Ultimately it will be register_netdev that examines what
dev->nd_net is set to and places a device in a network namespace.
This patch modifies alloc_netdev to initialize the network
namespace a device is in with the initial network namespace.
This gets it right for the vast majority of devices so their
drivers need not be modified and for those few pseudo devices
that need something different they can change this parameter
before calling register_netdevice.
The network namespace parameter on a network device is not
reference counted as the devices are inside of a network namespace
and cannot remain in that namespace past the lifetime of the
network namespace.

This patch passes in the namespace a new socket should be created in
and has the socket code do the appropriate reference counting. By
virtue of this all socket create methods are touched. In addition
the socket create methods are modified so that they will fail if
you attempt to create a socket in a non-default network namespace.
Failing if we attempt to create a socket outside of the default
network namespace ensures that as we incrementally make the network stack
network namespace aware we will not export functionality that someone
has not audited and made certain is network namespace safe.
Allowing us to partially enable network namespaces before all of the
exotic protocols are supported.
Any protocol layers I have missed will fail to compile because I now
pass an extra parameter into the socket creation code.

This patch makes /proc/net per network namespace. It modifies the global
variables proc_net and proc_net_stat to be per network namespace.
The proc_net file helpers are modified to take a network namespace argument,
and all of their callers are fixed to pass &init_net for that argument.
This ensures that all of the /proc/net files are only visible and
usable in the initial network namespace until the code behind them
has been updated to be handle multiple network namespaces.
Making /proc/net per namespace is necessary as at least some files
in /proc/net depend upon the set of network devices which is per
network namespace, and even more files in /proc/net have contents
that are relevant to a single network namespace.

This is the basic infrastructure needed to support network
namespaces. This infrastructure is:
- Registration functions to support initializing per network
namespace data when a network namespaces is created or destroyed.
- struct net. The network namespace data structure.
This structure will grow as variables are made per network
namespace but this is the minimal starting point.
- Functions to grab a reference to the network namespace.
I provide both get/put functions that keep a network namespace
from being freed. And hold/release functions serve as weak references
and will warn if their count is not zero when the data structure
is freed. Useful for dealing with more complicated data structures
like the ipv4 route cache.
- A list of all of the network namespaces so we can iterate over them.
- A slab for the network namespace data structure allowing leaks
to be spotted.

This patch modifies the current ipsec audit layer
by breaking it up into purpose driven audit calls.
So far, the only audit calls made are when add/delete
an SA/policy. It had been discussed to give each
key manager it's own calls to do this, but I found
there to be much redundnacy since they did the exact
same things, except for how they got auid and sid, so I
combined them. The below audit calls can be made by any
key manager. Hopefully, this is ok.

Andi mentioned he did something like this already, but never submitted
it.
The dhcp client application uses AF_PACKET with a packet filter to
receive data. The application doesn't even use timestamps, but because
the AF_PACKET API has timestamps, they get turned on globally which
causes an expensive time of day lookup for every packet received on
any system that uses the standard DHCP client.
The fix is to not enable the timestamp (but use if if available).
This causes the time lookup to only occur on those packets that are
destined for the AF_PACKET socket. The timestamping occurs after
packet filtering so all packets dropped by filtering to not cause a
clock call.
The one downside of this a a few microseconds additional delay added
from the normal timestamping location (netif_rx) until the receive
callback in AF_PACKET. But since the offset is fairly consistent it
should not upset applications that do want really use timestamps, like
wireshark.

This moves all the key handling code out from ieee80211_ioctl.c
into key.c and also does the following changes including documentation
updates in mac80211.h:
1) Turn off hardware acceleration for keys when the interface
is down. This is necessary because otherwise monitor
interfaces could be decrypting frames for other interfaces
that are down at the moment. Also, it should go some way
towards better suspend/resume support, in any case the
routines used here could be used for that as well.
Additionally, this makes the driver interface nicer, keys
for a specific local MAC address are only ever present
while an interface with that MAC address is enabled.
2) Change driver set_key() callback interface to allow only
return values of -ENOSPC, -EOPNOTSUPP and 0, warn on all
other return values. This allows debugging the stack when
a driver notices it's handed a key while it is down.
3) Invert the flag meaning to KEY_FLAG_UPLOADED_TO_HARDWARE.
4) Remove REMOVE_ALL_KEYS command as it isn't used nor do we
want to use it, we'll use DISABLE_KEY for each key. It is
hard to use REMOVE_ALL_KEYS because we can handle multiple
virtual interfaces with different key configuration, so we'd
have to keep track of a lot of state for this and that isn't
worth it.
5) Warn when disabling a key fails, it musn't.
6) Remove IEEE80211_HW_NO_TKIP_WMM_HWACCEL in favour of per-key
IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_WMM_STA to let driver sort it out itself.
7) Tell driver that a (non-WEP) key is used only for transmission
by using an all-zeroes station MAC address when configuring.
8) Change the set_key() callback to have access to the local MAC
address the key is being added for.

Remove adding a fake key with a NONE key algorithm for each
associated STA. If we have hardware with such TX filtering
we should probably extend the sta_table_notification()
callback with the sta information instead; the fact that
it's treated as a key for some atheros hardware shouldn't
bother the stack.

This patch embeds the struct ieee80211_key_conf into struct ieee80211_key
and thus avoids allocations and having data present twice.
This required some more changes:
1) The removal of the IEEE80211_KEY_DEFAULT_TX_KEY key flag.
This flag isn't used by drivers nor should it be since
we have a set_key_idx() callback. Maybe that callback needs
to be extended to include the key conf, but only a driver that
requires it will tell.
2) The removal of the IEEE80211_KEY_DEFAULT_WEP_ONLY key flag.
This flag is global, so it shouldn't be passed in the key
conf structure. Pass it to the function instead.
Also, this patch removes the AID parameter to the set_key() callback
because it is currently unused and the hardware currently cannot know
about the AID anyway. I suspect this was used with some hardware that
actually selected the AID itself, but that functionality was removed.
Additionally, I've removed the ALG_NULL key algorithm since we have
ALG_NONE.

When doing key selection for software decryption, mac80211 gets
a few things wrong: it always uses pairwise keys if configured,
even if the frame is addressed to a multicast address. Also, it
doesn't allow using a key index of zero if a pairwise key has
also been found.
This patch changes the key selection code to be (more) in line
with the 802.11 specification. I have confirmed that with this,
multicast frames are correctly decrypted and I've tested with
WEP as well.
While at it, I've cleaned up the semantics of the hardware flags
IEEE80211_HW_WEP_INCLUDE_IV and IEEE80211_HW_DEVICE_HIDES_WEP
and clarified them in the mac80211.h header; it is also now
allowed to set the IEEE80211_HW_DEVICE_HIDES_WEP option even if
it only applies to frames that have been decrypted by the hw,
unencrypted frames must be dropped but encrypted frames that
the hardware couldn't handle can be passed up unmodified.

David Woodhouse noticed that under some circumstances the number of slab
allocations kept growing. After looking a bit, this seemed to happen
when you had a management mode interface that was *down*.
The reason for this is that when the device is down, all management
frames get queued to the in-kernel MLME (via ieee80211_sta_rx_mgmt) but
then the sta work is invoked but doesn't run when the netif is down.
When you then bring the interface up, all such frames are freed, but if
you change the mode all of them are lost because the skb queue is
reinitialised as soon as you go back to managed mode. The skb queue is
correctly cleared when the interface is brought down, but the code
doesn't account for the fact that it may be filled while it is not up.
This patch should fix the issue by simply ignoring all interfaces that

Hopefully captured all single statement cases under net/. I'm
not too sure if there is some policy about #includes that are
"guaranteed" (ie., in the current tree) to be available through
some other #included header, so I just added linux/kernel.h to
each changed file that didn't #include it previously.
