As rt_iif represents input device even for packets
coming from loopback with output route, it is not an unique
key specific to input routes. Now rt_route_iif has such role,
it was fl.iif in 2.6.38, so better to change the checks at
some places to save CPU cycles and to restore 2.6.38 semantics.

compare_keys:
	- input routes: only rt_route_iif matters, rt_iif is same
	- output routes: only rt_oif matters, rt_iif is not
		used for matching in __ip_route_output_key
	- now we are back to 2.6.38 state

ip_route_input_common:
	- matching rt_route_iif implies input route
	- compared to 2.6.38 we eliminated one rth-&gt;fl.oif check
	because it was not needed even for 2.6.38

compare_hash_inputs:
	Only the change here is not an optimization, it has
	effect only for output routes. I assume I'm restoring
	the original intention to ignore oif, it was using fl.iif
	- now we are back to 2.6.38 state

Using a gcc 4.4.3, warnings are emitted for a possibly uninitialized use
of ecn_ok.

This can happen if cookie_check_timestamp() returns due to not having
seen a timestamp.  Defaulting to ecn off seems like a reasonable thing
to do in this case, so initialized ecn_ok to false.

Make sure skb dst has reference when moving to
another context. Currently, I don't see protocols that can
hit it when sending broadcasts/multicasts to loopback using
noref dsts, so it is just a precaution.

The raw sockets can provide source address for
routing but their privileges are not considered. We
can provide non-local source address, make sure the
FLOWI_FLAG_ANYSRC flag is set if socket has privileges
for this, i.e. based on hdrincl (IP_HDRINCL) and
transparent flags.

<title>netfilter: TCP and raw fix for ip_route_me_harder</title>

TCP in some cases uses different global (raw) socket
to send RST and ACK. The transparent flag is not set there.
Currently, it is a problem for rerouting after the previous
change.

	Fix it by simplifying the checks in ip_route_me_harder
and use FLOWI_FLAG_ANYSRC even for sockets. It looks safe
because the initial routing allowed this source address to
be used and now we just have to make sure the packet is rerouted.

	As a side effect this also allows rerouting for normal
raw sockets that use spoofed source addresses which was not possible
even before we eliminated the ip_route_input call.

IP_PKTOPTIONS is broken for 32-bit applications running
in COMPAT mode on 64-bit kernels.

This happens because msghdr's msg_flags field is always
set to zero. When running in COMPAT mode this should be
set to MSG_CMSG_COMPAT instead.

	compare_keys and ip_route_input_common rely on
rt_oif for distinguishing of input and output routes
with same keys values. But sometimes the input route has
also same hash chain (keyed by iif != 0) with the output
routes (keyed by orig_oif=0). Problem visible if running
with small number of rhash_entries.

	Fix them to use rt_route_iif instead. By this way
input route can not be returned to users that request
output route.

	The patch fixes the ip_rt_bug errors that were
reported in ip_local_out context, mostly for 255.255.255.255
destinations.

<title>net: Compute protocol sequence numbers and fragment IDs using MD5.</title>

Computers have become a lot faster since we compromised on the
partial MD4 hash which we use currently for performance reasons.

MD5 is a much safer choice, and is inline with both RFC1948 and
other ISS generators (OpenBSD, Solaris, etc.)

Furthermore, only having 24-bits of the sequence number be truly
unpredictable is a very serious limitation.  So the periodic
regeneration and 8-bit counter have been removed.  We compute and
use a full 32-bit sequence number.

For ipv6, DCCP was found to use a 32-bit truncated initial sequence
number (it needs 43-bits) and that is fixed here as well.

Gergely Kalman reported crashes in check_peer_redir().

It appears commit f39925dbde778 (ipv4: Cache learned redirect
information in inetpeer.) added a race, leading to possible NULL ptr
dereference.

Since we can now change dst neighbour, we should make sure a reader can
safely use a neighbour.

Add RCU protection to dst neighbour, and make sure check_peer_redir()
can be called safely by different cpus in parallel.

As neighbours are already freed after one RCU grace period, this patch
should not add typical RCU penalty (cache cold effects)

Many thanks to Gergely for providing a pretty report pointing to the
bug.
