68c3316311 v4 GRE: Add TCP segmentation offload for GRE
Following patch adds GRE protocol offload handler so that
skb_gso_segment() can segment GRE packets.
SKB GSO CB is added to keep track of total header length so that
skb_segment can push entire header. e.g. in case of GRE, skb_segment
need to push inner and outer headers to every segment.
New NETIF_F_GRE_GSO feature is added for devices which support HW
GRE TSO offload. Currently none of devices support it therefore GRE GSO
always fall backs to software GSO.

[ Compute pkt_len before ip_local_out() invocation. -DaveM ]

afd465030a net: ipv4: Standardize prefixes for message logging
Add #define pr_fmt(fmt) as appropriate.

Add "IPv4: ", "TCP: ", and "IPsec: " to appropriate files.
Standardize on "UDPLite: " for appropriate uses.
Some prefixes were previously "UDPLITE: " and "UDP-Lite: ".

Add KBUILD_MODNAME ": " to icmp and gre.
Remove embedded prefixes as appropriate.

Add missing "\n" to pr_info in gre.c.

a9b3cd7f32 rcu: convert uses of rcu_assign_pointer(x, NULL) to RCU_INIT_POINTER
When assigning a NULL value to an RCU protected pointer, no barrier
is needed. The rcu_assign_pointer, used to handle that but will soon
change to not handle the special case.

Convert all rcu_assign_pointer of NULL value.

//smpl
@@ expression P; @@

- rcu_assign_pointer(P, NULL)
+ RCU_INIT_POINTER(P, NULL)

// </smpl>

dec17b7451 Remove redundant linux/version.h includes from net/
It was suggested by "make versioncheck" that the follwing includes of
linux/version.h are redundant:

  /home/jj/src/linux-2.6/net/caif/caif_dev.c: 14 linux/version.h not needed.
  /home/jj/src/linux-2.6/net/caif/chnl_net.c: 10 linux/version.h not needed.
  /home/jj/src/linux-2.6/net/ipv4/gre.c: 19 linux/version.h not needed.
  /home/jj/src/linux-2.6/net/netfilter/ipset/ip_set_core.c: 20 linux/version.h not needed.
  /home/jj/src/linux-2.6/net/netfilter/xt_set.c: 16 linux/version.h not needed.

and it seems that it is right.

Beyond manually inspecting the source files I also did a few build
tests with various configs to confirm that including the header in
those files is indeed not needed.

Here's a patch to remove the pointless includes.

00959ade36 PPTP: PPP over IPv4 (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol)
PPP: introduce "pptp" module which implements point-to-point tunneling protocol using pppox framework
NET: introduce the "gre" module for demultiplexing GRE packets on version criteria
     (required to pptp and ip_gre may coexists)
NET: ip_gre: update to use the "gre" module

This patch introduces then pptp support to the linux kernel which
dramatically speeds up pptp vpn connections and decreases cpu usage in
comparison of existing user-space implementation
(poptop/pptpclient). There is accel-pptp project
(https://sourceforge.net/projects/accel-pptp/) to utilize this module,
it contains plugin for pppd to use pptp in client-mode and modified
pptpd (poptop) to build high-performance pptp NAS.

There was many changes from initial submitted patch, most important are:
1. using rcu instead of read-write locks
2. using static bitmap instead of dynamically allocated
3. using vmalloc for memory allocation instead of BITS_PER_LONG + __get_free_pages
4. fixed many coding style issues
Thanks to Eric Dumazet.
