 - added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t;

 - replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly
   the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change
   generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with
   typedef) and documents what's going on far better.

<title>[IPVS]: ip_vs_ftp breaks connections using persistence</title>

<id>87375ab47cd0ba04124c6d3fd80db5c368f5dcb6</id>
<content type='text'>
ip_vs_ftp when loaded can create NAT connections with unknown client
port for passive FTP. For such expectations we lookup with cport=0 on
incoming packet but it matches the format of the persistence templates
causing packets to other persistent virtual servers to be forwarded to
real server without creating connection. Later the reply packets are
treated as foreign and not SNAT-ed.

This patch changes the connection lookup for packets from clients:

* introduce IP_VS_CONN_F_TEMPLATE connection flag to mark the
  connection as template

* create new connection lookup function just for templates -
  ip_vs_ct_in_get

* make sure ip_vs_conn_in_get hits only connections with
  IP_VS_CONN_F_NO_CPORT flag set when s_port is 0. By this way
  we avoid returning template when looking for cport=0 (ftp)

This patch puts mostly read only data in the right section
(read_mostly), to help sharing of these data between CPUS without
memory ping pongs.

On one of my production machine, tcp_statistics was sitting in a
heavily modified cache line, so *every* SNMP update had to force a
reload.

Lots of places just needs the states, not even linux/tcp.h, where this
enum was, needs it.

This speeds up development of the refactorings as less sources are
rebuilt when things get moved from net/tcp.h.

<title>[NETFILTER]: reduce netfilter sk_buff enlargement</title>

As discussed at netconf'05, we're trying to save every bit in sk_buff.
The patch below makes sk_buff 8 bytes smaller.  I did some basic
testing on my notebook and it seems to work.

The only real in-tree user of nfcache was IPVS, who only needs a
single bit.  Unfortunately I couldn't find some other free bit in
sk_buff to stuff that bit into, so I introduced a separate field for
them.  Maybe the IPVS guys can resolve that to further save space.

Initially I wanted to shrink pkt_type to three bits (PACKET_HOST and
alike are only 6 values defined), but unfortunately the bluetooth code
overloads pkt_type :(

The conntrack-event-api (out-of-tree) uses nfcache, but Rusty just
came up with a way how to do it without any skb fields, so it's safe
to remove it.

- remove all never-implemented 'nfcache' code
- don't have ipvs code abuse 'nfcache' field. currently get's their own
  compile-conditional skb-&gt;ipvs_property field.  IPVS maintainers can
  decide to move this bit elswhere, but nfcache needs to die.
- remove skb-&gt;nfcache field to save 4 bytes
- move skb-&gt;nfctinfo into three unused bits to save further 4 bytes

Move the protocol specific config options out to the specific protocols.
With this change net/Kconfig now starts to become readable and serve as a
good basis for further re-structuring.

The menu structure is left almost intact, except that indention is
fixed in most cases. Most visible are the INET changes where several
"depends on INET" are replaced with a single ifdef INET / endif pair.

Several new files were created to accomplish this change - they are
small but serve the purpose that config options are now distributed
out where they belongs.
