Remove networking from Documentation Makefile to move the test to
selftests. Update networking/timestamping Makefile to work under
selftests. These tests will not be run as part of selftests suite
and will not be included in install targets. They can be built and
run separately for now.

This is part of the effort to move runnable code from Documentation.

<title>ipvlan: Introduce l3s mode</title>

<id>4fbae7d83c98c30efcf0a2a2ac55fbb75ef5a1a5</id>
<content type='text'>
In a typical IPvlan L3 setup where master is in default-ns and
each slave is into different (slave) ns. In this setup egress
packet processing for traffic originating from slave-ns will
hit all NF_HOOKs in slave-ns as well as default-ns. However same
is not true for ingress processing. All these NF_HOOKs are
hit only in the slave-ns skipping them in the default-ns.
IPvlan in L3 mode is restrictive and if admins want to deploy
iptables rules in default-ns, this asymmetric data path makes it
impossible to do so.

This patch makes use of the l3_rcv() (added as part of l3mdev
enhancements) to perform input route lookup on RX packets without
changing the skb-&gt;dev and then uses nf_hook at NF_INET_LOCAL_IN
to change the skb-&gt;dev just before handing over skb to L4.

<title>rxrpc: Don't expose skbs to in-kernel users [ver #2]</title>
<updated>2016-09-01T23:43:27+00:00</updated>

<id>d001648ec7cf8b21ae9eec8b9ba4a18295adfb14</id>
<content type='text'>
Don't expose skbs to in-kernel users, such as the AFS filesystem, but
instead provide a notification hook the indicates that a call needs
attention and another that indicates that there's a new call to be
collected.

This makes the following possibilities more achievable:

 (1) Call refcounting can be made simpler if skbs don't hold refs to calls.

 (2) skbs referring to non-data events will be able to be freed much sooner
     rather than being queued for AFS to pick up as rxrpc_kernel_recv_data
     will be able to consult the call state.

 (3) We can shortcut the receive phase when a call is remotely aborted
     because we don't have to go through all the packets to get to the one
     cancelling the operation.

 (4) It makes it easier to do encryption/decryption directly between AFS's
     buffers and sk_buffs.

 (5) Encryption/decryption can more easily be done in the AFS's thread
     contexts - usually that of the userspace process that issued a syscall
     - rather than in one of rxrpc's background threads on a workqueue.

 (6) AFS will be able to wait synchronously on a call inside AF_RXRPC.

To make this work, the following interface function has been added:

     int rxrpc_kernel_recv_data(
		struct socket *sock, struct rxrpc_call *call,
		void *buffer, size_t bufsize, size_t *_offset,
		bool want_more, u32 *_abort_code);

This is the recvmsg equivalent.  It allows the caller to find out about the
state of a specific call and to transfer received data into a buffer
piecemeal.

afs_extract_data() and rxrpc_kernel_recv_data() now do all the extraction
logic between them.  They don't wait synchronously yet because the socket
lock needs to be dealt with.

Five interface functions have been removed:

	rxrpc_kernel_is_data_last()
    	rxrpc_kernel_get_abort_code()
    	rxrpc_kernel_get_error_number()
    	rxrpc_kernel_free_skb()
    	rxrpc_kernel_data_consumed()

As a temporary hack, sk_buffs going to an in-kernel call are queued on the
rxrpc_call struct (-&gt;knlrecv_queue) rather than being handed over to the
in-kernel user.  To process the queue internally, a temporary function,
temp_deliver_data() has been added.  This will be replaced with common code
between the rxrpc_recvmsg() path and the kernel_rxrpc_recv_data() path in a
future patch.

Provide a function so that kernel users, such as AFS, can ask for the peer
address of a call:

   void rxrpc_kernel_get_peer(struct rxrpc_call *call,
			      struct sockaddr_rxrpc *_srx);

In the future the kernel service won't get sk_buffs to look inside.
Further, this allows us to hide any canonicalisation inside AF_RXRPC for
when IPv6 support is added.

Also propagate this through to afs_find_server() and issue a warning if we
can't handle the address family yet.
