These header files are never installed to user consumption, so any
__KERNEL__ cpp checks are superfluous.

Projects should also not copy these files into their userland utility
sources and try to use them there.  If they insist on doing so, the
onus is on them to sanitize the headers as needed.

<title>ipv6: add a missing unregister_pernet_subsys call</title>

<content type='text'>
Clean up a missing exit path in the ipv6 module init routines.  In
addrconf_init we call ipv6_addr_label_init which calls register_pernet_subsys
for the ipv6_addr_label_ops structure.  But if module loading fails, or if the
ipv6 module is removed, there is no corresponding unregister_pernet_subsys call,
which leaves a now-bogus address on the pernet_list, leading to oopses in
subsequent registrations.  This patch cleans up both the failed load path and
the unload path.  Tested by myself with good results.

<title>net: Add checking to rcu_dereference() primitives</title>

<content type='text'>
Update rcu_dereference() primitives to use new lockdep-based
checking. The rcu_dereference() in __in6_dev_get() may be
protected either by rcu_read_lock() or RTNL, per Eric Dumazet.
The rcu_dereference() in __sk_free() is protected by the fact
that it is never reached if an update could change it.  Check
for this by using rcu_dereference_check() to verify that the
struct sock's -&gt;sk_wmem_alloc counter is zero.

<title>bonding: remap muticast addresses without using dev_close() and dev_open()</title>

<id>75c78500ddad74b229cd0691496b8549490496a2</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch fixes commit e36b9d16c6a6d0f59803b3ef04ff3c22c3844c10. The approach
there is to call dev_close()/dev_open() whenever the device type is changed in
order to remap the device IP multicast addresses to HW multicast addresses.
This approach suffers from 2 drawbacks:

*. It assumes tha the device is UP when calling dev_close(), or otherwise
   dev_close() has no affect. It is worth to mention that initscripts (Redhat)
   and sysconfig (Suse) doesn't act the same in this matter. 
*. dev_close() has other side affects, like deleting entries from the routing
   table, which might be unnecessary.

The fix here is to directly remap the IP multicast addresses to HW multicast
addresses for a bonding device that changes its type, and nothing else.

The ipv6 version of bind_conflict code calls ipv6_rcv_saddr_equal()
which at times wrongly identified intersections between addresses.
It particularly broke down under a few instances and caused erroneous
bind conflicts.
