<content type='text'>
This patch adds net argument to ipv6_stub_impl.ipv6_dst_lookup
for use cases where sk is not available (like mpls).
sk appears to be needed to get the namespace 'net' and is optional
otherwise. This patch series changes ipv6_stub_impl.ipv6_dst_lookup
to take net argument. sk remains optional.

All callers of ipv6_stub_impl.ipv6_dst_lookup have been modified
to pass net. I have modified them to use already available
'net' in the scope of the call. I can change them to
sock_net(sk) to avoid any unintended change in behaviour if sock
namespace is different. They dont seem to be from code inspection.

<title>ipv6: Remove external dependency on rt6i_gateway and RTF_ANYCAST</title>

<content type='text'>
When creating a RTF_CACHE route, RTF_ANYCAST is set based on rt6i_dst.
Also, rt6i_gateway is always set to the nexthop while the nexthop
could be a gateway or the rt6i_dst.addr.

After removing the rt6i_dst and rt6i_src dependency in the last patch,
we also need to stop the caller from depending on rt6i_gateway and
RTF_ANYCAST.

This patch removes the assumptions that the returned rt is always
a RTF_CACHE entry with the rt6i_dst and rt6i_src containing the
destination and source address.  The dst and src can be recovered from
the calling site.

We may consider to rename (rt6i_dst, rt6i_src) to
(rt6i_key_dst, rt6i_key_src) later.

<title>ipv6: coding style: comparison for equality with NULL</title>

The ipv6 code uses a mixture of coding styles. In some instances check for NULL
pointer is done as x == NULL and sometimes as !x. !x is preferred according to
checkpatch and this patch makes the code consistent by adopting the latter
form.

No changes detected by objdiff.

This change has no functional impact and simply addresses some coding
style issues detected by checkpatch. Specifically this change
adjusts "if" statements which also include the assignment of a
variable.

No changes to the resultant object files result as determined by objdiff.

If icmp_rcv() has successfully processed the incoming ICMP datagram, we
should use consume_skb() rather than kfree_skb() because a hit on the likes
of perf -e skb:kfree_skb is not called-for.

<title>net: Convert LIMIT_NETDEBUG to net_dbg_ratelimited</title>

<id>ba7a46f16dd29f93303daeb1fee8af316c5a07f4</id>
<content type='text'>
Use the more common dynamic_debug capable net_dbg_ratelimited
and remove the LIMIT_NETDEBUG macro.

All messages are still ratelimited.

Some KERN_&lt;LEVEL&gt; uses are changed to KERN_DEBUG.

This may have some negative impact on messages that were
emitted at KERN_INFO that are not not enabled at all unless
DEBUG is defined or dynamic_debug is enabled.  Even so,
these messages are now _not_ emitted by default.

This also eliminates the use of the net_msg_warn sysctl
"/proc/sys/net/core/warnings".  For backward compatibility,
the sysctl is not removed, but it has no function.  The extern
declaration of net_msg_warn is removed from sock.h and made
static in net/core/sysctl_net_core.c

Miscellanea:

o Update the sysctl documentation
o Remove the embedded uses of pr_fmt
o Coalesce format fragments
o Realign arguments
