We can reduce pressure on dst entry refcount that slowdown UDP transmit
path on SMP machines. This pressure is visible on RTP servers when
delivering content to mediagateways, especially big ones, handling
thousand of streams. Several cpus send UDP frames to the same
destination, hence use the same dst entry.

This patch makes ip_push_pending_frames() steal the refcount its
callers had to take when filling inet-&gt;cork.dst.

This doesnt avoid all refcounting, but still gives speedups on SMP,
on UDP/RAW transmit path.

<title>ipv4: Make Netfilter's ip_route_me_harder() non-local address compatible</title>

Netfilter's ip_route_me_harder() tries to re-route packets either
generated or re-routed by Netfilter. This patch changes
ip_route_me_harder() to handle packets from non-locally-bound sockets
with IP_TRANSPARENT set as local and to set the appropriate flowi
flags when re-doing the routing lookup.

<title>net: convert BUG_TRAP to generic WARN_ON</title>

Removes legacy reinvent-the-wheel type thing. The generic
machinery integrates much better to automated debugging aids
such as kerneloops.org (and others), and is unambiguous due to
better naming. Non-intuively BUG_TRAP() is actually equal to
WARN_ON() rather than BUG_ON() though some might actually be
promoted to BUG_ON() but I left that to future.

I could make at least one BUILD_BUG_ON conversion.

<title>[IPv4] UFO: prevent generation of chained skb destined to UFO device</title>

<id>be9164e769d57aa10b2bbe15d103edc041b9e7de</id>
<content type='text'>
Problem: ip_append_data() could wrongly generate a chained skb for
devices which support UFO.  When sk_write_queue is not empty
(e.g. MSG_MORE), __instead__ of appending data into the next nr_frag
of the queued skb, a new chained skb is created.

I would normally assume UFO device should get data in nr_frags and not
in frag_list.  Later the udp4_hwcsum_outgoing() resets csum to NONE
and skb_gso_segment() has oops.

Proposal:
1. Even length is less than mtu, employ ip_ufo_append_data()
and append data to the __existed__ skb in the sk_write_queue.

2. ip_ufo_append_data() is fixed due to a wrong manipulation of
peek-ing and later enqueue-ing of the same skb.  Now, enqueuing is
always performed, because on error the further
ip_flush_pending_frames() would release the queued skb.

Introduce per-sock inlines: sock_net(), sock_net_set()
and per-inet_timewait_sock inlines: twsk_net(), twsk_net_set().
Without CONFIG_NET_NS, no namespace other than &amp;init_net exists.
Let's explicitly define them to help compiler optimizations.
