<content type='text'>
In ip6_mc_input(), we need to check whether we have listener(s) for
the packet.

After commit ae7bf20a6316272acfcaef5d265b18aaa54b41e4, all packets
for multicast destinations are delivered to upper layer if
IFF_PROMISC or IFF_ALLMULTI is set.

In fact, bug was rather ancient; the original (before the commit)
intent of the dev-&gt;flags check was to skip the ipv6_chk_mcast_addr()
call, assuming L2 filters packets appropriately, but it was even not
true.

Let's explicitly check our multicast list.

Same as in the previous patch for ipv4, compact the
API and hide hash table and rwlock inside the raw.c
file.

Plus fix some "bad" places from checkpatch.pl point
of view (assignments inside if()).

<title>[NETFILTER]: Introduce NF_INET_ hook values</title>

The IPv4 and IPv6 hook values are identical, yet some code tries to figure
out the "correct" value by looking at the address family. Introduce NF_INET_*
values for both IPv4 and IPv6. The old values are kept in a #ifndef __KERNEL__
section for userspace compatibility.

Uninline netfilter okfns for those cases where gcc can generate tail-calls.

Before:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename

-------------------------------------------------------
  -1392

All cases have been verified to generate tail-calls with and without netfilter.

<content type='text'>
This patch modifies every packet receive function
registered with dev_add_pack() to drop packets if they
are not from the initial network namespace.

This should ensure that the various network stacks do
not receive packets in a anything but the initial network
namespace until the code has been converted and is ready
for them.

For the common sequence "skb-&gt;h.raw - skb-&gt;nh.raw", similar to skb-&gt;mac_len,
that is precalculated tho, don't think we need to bloat skb with one more
member, so just use this new helper, reducing the number of non-skbuff.h
references to the layer headers even more.
