There are errors and inconsistency in the display of NIP6 strings.
ie: net/ipv6/ip6_flowlabel.c
There are errors and inconsistency in the display of NIPQUAD strings too.
ie: net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_ftp.c
This patch:
adds NIP6_FMT to kernel.h
changes all code to use NIP6_FMT
fixes net/ipv6/ip6_flowlabel.c
adds NIPQUAD_FMT to kernel.h
fixes net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_ftp.c
changes a few uses of "%u.%u.%u.%u" to NIPQUAD_FMT for symmetry to NIP6_FMT

Move nextheader offset to the IP6CB to make it possible to pass a
packet to ip6_input_finish multiple times and have it skip already
parsed headers. As a nice side effect this gets rid of the manual
hopopts skipping in ip6_input_finish.

the patch below marks various variables const in net/; the goal is to
move them to the .rodata section so that they can't false-share
cachelines with things that get written to, as well as potentially
helping gcc a bit with optimisations. (these were found using a gcc
patch to warn about such variables)

Here is the patch that introduces the generic skb_checksum_complete
which also checks for hardware RX checksum faults. If that happens,
it'll call netdev_rx_csum_fault which currently prints out a stack
trace with the device name. In future it can turn off RX checksum.
I've converted every spot under net/ that does RX checksum checks to
use skb_checksum_complete or __skb_checksum_complete with the
exceptions of:
* Those places where checksums are done bit by bit. These will call
netdev_rx_csum_fault directly.
* The following have not been completely checked/converted:
ipmr
ip_vs
netfilter
dccp
This patch is based on patches and suggestions from Stephen Hemminger
and David S. Miller.

In 'net' change the explicit use of for-loops and NR_CPUS into the
general for_each_cpu() or for_each_online_cpu() constructs, as
appropriate. This widens the scope of potential future optimizations
of the general constructs, as well as takes advantage of the existing
optimizations of first_cpu() and next_cpu(), which is advantageous
when the true CPU count is much smaller than NR_CPUS.

Due to changes to enforce checking interface bindings,
sockets did not see loopback packets bound for our local address
on our interface.
e.g.)
When we ping6 fe80::1%eth0, skb->dev points loopback_dev while
IP6CB(skb)->iif indicates eth0.
This patch fixes the issue by using appropriate incoming interface,
in the sense of scoping architecture.

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.

Take account of whether a socket is bound to a particular device when
selecting an IPv6 raw socket to receive a packet. Also perform this
check when receiving IPv6 packets with router alert options.

We saw following trace several times:
|BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000001] code: httpd/30137
|caller is icmpv6_send+0x23/0x540
| [<c01ad63b>] smp_processor_id+0x9b/0xb8
| [<c02993e7>] icmpv6_send+0x23/0x540
This is because of icmpv6_socket, which is the only one user of
smp_processor_id() in icmpv6_send(), AFAIK.
Since it should be used in non-preemptive context,
let's defer the dereference after disabling preemption
(by icmpv6_xmit_lock()).

The SELinux hooks invoke ipv6_skip_exthdr() with an incorrect
length final argument. However, the length argument turns out
to be superfluous.
I was just reading ipv6_skip_exthdr and it occured to me that we can
get rid of len altogether. The only place where len is used is to
check whether the skb has two bytes for ipv6_opt_hdr. This check
is done by skb_header_pointer/skb_copy_bits anyway.
Now it might appear that we've made the code slower by deferring
the check to skb_copy_bits. However, this check should not trigger
in the common case so this is OK.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
