Kernel bugzilla #15239

On some workloads, it is quite possible to get a huge dst list to
process in dst_gc_task(), and trigger soft lockup detection.

Fix is to call cond_resched(), as we run in process context.

As noticed by Jon Masters <jonathan@jonmasters.org>, the conntrack hash
size is global and not per namespace, but modifiable at runtime through
/sys/module/nf_conntrack/hashsize. Changing the hash size will only
resize the hash in the current namespace however, so other namespaces
will use an invalid hash size. This can cause crashes when enlarging
the hashsize, or false negative lookups when shrinking it.

Move the hash size into the per-namespace data and only use the global
hash size to initialize the per-namespace value when instanciating a
new namespace. Additionally restrict hash resizing to init_net for
now as other namespaces are not handled currently.

nf_conntrack_cachep is currently shared by all netns instances, but
because of SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU special semantics, this is wrong.

If we use a shared slab cache, one object can instantly flight between
one hash table (netns ONE) to another one (netns TWO), and concurrent
reader (doing a lookup in netns ONE, 'finding' an object of netns TWO)
can be fooled without notice, because no RCU grace period has to be
observed between object freeing and its reuse.

We dont have this problem with UDP/TCP slab caches because TCP/UDP
hashtables are global to the machine (and each object has a pointer to
its netns).

If we use per netns conntrack hash tables, we also *must* use per netns
conntrack slab caches, to guarantee an object can not escape from one
namespace to another one.

As discovered by Jon Masters <jonathan@jonmasters.org>, the "untracked"
conntrack, which is located in the data section, might be accidentally
freed when a new namespace is instantiated while the untracked conntrack
is attached to a skb because the reference count it re-initialized.

The best fix would be to use a seperate untracked conntrack per
namespace since it includes a namespace pointer. Unfortunately this is
not possible without larger changes since the namespace is not easily
available everywhere we need it. For now move the untracked conntrack
initialization to the init_net setup function to make sure the reference
count is not re-initialized and handle cleanup in the init_net cleanup
function to make sure namespaces can exit properly while the untracked
conntrack is in use in other namespaces.

This change corrects an issue that will cause false hangs when using either
82575 or 82580 in legacy interrupt mode.  The issue is caused when there is
a slow traffic flow and an "ethtool -r" is executed while using legacy or
MSI interrupts.  MSI-X is not affected by this issue due to the fact that
we were already reconfiguring the vectors after reset.

If possible it would be best to push this for net-2.6 since it is resolving
a bug but if that is not possible then net-next-2.6 will be fine.

Netlink code does module autoload if protocol userspace is asking for is
not ready. However, module can dissapear right after it was autoloaded.
Example: modprobe/rmmod stress-testing and xfrm_user.ko providing NETLINK_XFRM.

netlink_create() in such situation _will_ create userspace socket and
_will_not_ pin module. Now if module was removed and we're going to call
->netlink_rcv into nothing:

1. After sock_register() returns, it's possible to create sockets,
   even if module still not initialized fully (blame generic module code
   for that!)
2. Consequently, pfkey_create() can be called with pfkey_net_id still not
   initialized which will BUG_ON in net_generic():
	kernel BUG at include/net/netns/generic.h:43!
3. During netns shutdown, netns ops should be unregistered after
   key manager unregistered because key manager calls can be triggered
   from xfrm_user module:

Getting it is not used, let's drop support for notifications about
(un)registered events from connector.
Another option was to check credentials on receiving, but we can always
restore it without bugs if needed, but genetlink has a wider code base
and none complained, that userspace can not get notification when some
other clients were (un)registered.
