Eric Dumazet noticed that all no-nonexthop or no-gateway routes which
are already marked DST_HOST (e.g. input routes routes) will always be
invalidated during sk_dst_check. Thus per-socket dst caching absolutely
had no effect and early demuxing had no effect.

Thus this patch removes rt6i_genid: fn_sernum already gets modified during
add operations, so we only must ensure we mutate fn_sernum during ipv6
address remove operations. This is a fairly cost extensive operations,
but address removal should not happen that often. Also our mtu update
functions do the same and we heard no complains so far. xfrm policy
changes also cause a call into fib6_flush_trees. Also plug a hole in
rt6_info (no cacheline changes).

I verified via tracing that this change has effect.

Johannes noted this is not needed, all of the fragment
accessors don't need CONFIG_NET_NS. This goes test compiled with
CONFIG_BT_6LOWPAN=y and a disabled CONFIG_NET_NS.

<title>ipv4, fib: pass LOOPBACK_IFINDEX instead of 0 to flowi4_iif</title>

As suggested by Julian:

	Simply, flowi4_iif must not contain 0, it does not
	look logical to ignore all ip rules with specified iif.

because in fib_rule_match() we do:

        if (rule-&gt;iifindex &amp;&amp; (rule-&gt;iifindex != fl-&gt;flowi_iif))
                goto out;

flowi4_iif should be LOOPBACK_IFINDEX by default.

We need to move LOOPBACK_IFINDEX to include/net/flow.h:

1) It is mostly used by flowi_iif

2) Fix the following compile error if we use it in flow.h
by the patches latter:

In file included from include/linux/netfilter.h:277:0,
                 from include/net/netns/netfilter.h:5,
                 from include/net/net_namespace.h:21,

<title>net: Delay default_device_exit_batch until no devices are unregistering v2</title>
<updated>2013-09-28T22:09:15+00:00</updated>

<name>Eric W. Biederman</name>

<id>50624c934db18ab90aaea4908f60dd39aab4e6e5</id>
<content type='text'>
There is currently serialization network namespaces exiting and
network devices exiting as the final part of netdev_run_todo does not
happen under the rtnl_lock.  This is compounded by the fact that the
only list of devices unregistering in netdev_run_todo is local to the
netdev_run_todo.

This lack of serialization in extreme cases results in network devices
unregistering in netdev_run_todo after the loopback device of their
network namespace has been freed (making dst_ifdown unsafe), and after
the their network namespace has exited (making the NETDEV_UNREGISTER,
and NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL callbacks unsafe).

Add the missing serialization by a per network namespace count of how
many network devices are unregistering and having a wait queue that is
woken up whenever the count is decreased.  The count and wait queue
allow default_device_exit_batch to wait until all of the unregistration
activity for a network namespace has finished before proceeding to
unregister the loopback device and then allowing the network namespace
to exit.

Only a single global wait queue is used because there is a single global
lock, and there is a single waiter, per network namespace wait queues
would be a waste of resources.

The per network namespace count of unregistering devices gives a
progress guarantee because the number of network devices unregistering
in an exiting network namespace must ultimately drop to zero (assuming
network device unregistration completes).

The basic logic remains the same as in v1.  This patch is now half
comment and half rtnl_lock_unregistering an expanded version of
wait_event performs no extra work in the common case where no network
devices are unregistering when we get to default_device_exit_batch.

unregistering in netdev_run_todo after the loopback device of their
network namespace has been freed (making dst_ifdown unsafe), and after
the their network namespace has exited (making the NETDEV_UNREGISTER,
and NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL callbacks unsafe).

Add the missing serialization by a per network namespace count of how
many network devices are unregistering and having a wait queue that is
woken up whenever the count is decreased.  The count and wait queue
allow default_device_exit_batch to wait until all of the unregistration
activity for a network namespace has finished before proceeding to
unregister the loopback device and then allowing the network namespace
to exit.

Only a single global wait queue is used because there is a single global
lock, and there is a single waiter, per network namespace wait queues
would be a waste of resources.

The per network namespace count of unregistering devices gives a
progress guarantee because the number of network devices unregistering
in an exiting network namespace must ultimately drop to zero (assuming
network device unregistration completes).

The basic logic remains the same as in v1.  This patch is now half
comment and half rtnl_lock_unregistering an expanded version of
wait_event performs no extra work in the common case where no network
devices are unregistering when we get to default_device_exit_batch.
