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.

<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.

When support for binding to 'mapped INADDR_ANY (::ffff.0.0.0.0)' was added
in 0f8d3c7ac3693d7b6c731bf2159273a59bf70e12 the rest of the code
wasn't told so now it's possible to bind IPv6 datagram socket to
::ffff.0.0.0.0, connect it to another IPv4 address and it will all
work except for getsockhame() which does not return the local address
as expected.

To give getsockname() something to work with check for 'mapped INADDR_ANY'
when connecting and update the in-core source addresses appropriately.

<title>net: fix NULL dereferences in check_peer_redir()</title>

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.

<title>ipv6: Do not leave router anycast address for /127 prefixes.</title>

Original commit 2bda8a0c8af... "Disable router anycast
address for /127 prefixes" says:

|   No need for matching code in addrconf_leave_anycast() as it
|   will silently ignore any attempt to leave an unknown anycast
|   address.

After analysis, because 1) we may add two or more prefixes on the
same interface, or 2)user may have manually joined that anycast,
we may hit chances to have anycast address which as if we had
generated one by /127 prefix and we should not leave from subnet-
router anycast address unconditionally.

IPv6 fragment identification generation is way beyond what we use for
IPv4 : It uses a single generator. Its not scalable and allows DOS
attacks.

Now inetpeer is IPv6 aware, we can use it to provide a more secure and
scalable frag ident generator (per destination, instead of system wide)

This patch :
1) defines a new secure_ipv6_id() helper
2) extends inet_getid() to provide 32bit results
3) extends ipv6_select_ident() with a new dest parameter

We currently cow metrics a bit too soon in IPv6 case : All routes are
tied to a single inetpeer entry.

Change ip6_rt_copy() to get destination address as second argument, so
that we fill rt6i_dst before the dst_copy_metrics() call.

icmp6_dst_alloc() must set rt6i_dst before calling dst_metric_set(), or
else the cow is done while rt6i_dst is still NULL.

If orig route points to readonly metrics, we can share the pointer
instead of performing the memory allocation and copy.
