When pfkey has no km listeners, it still does a lot of work
before finding out there aint nobody out there.
If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make
a sound? In this case it makes a lot of noise:
With this short-circuit adding 10s of thousands of SAs using
netlink improves performance by ~10%.

Previously I added sessionid output to all audit messages where it was
available but we still didn't know the sessionid of the sender of
netlink messages.  This patch adds that information to netlink messages
so we can audit who sent netlink messages.

net/key/af_key.c: In function ‘pfkey_spddelete’:
net/key/af_key.c:2359: warning: ‘pol_ctx’ may be used uninitialized in 
this function

When CONFIG_SECURITY_NETWORK_XFRM isn't set, 
security_xfrm_policy_alloc() is an inline that doesn't set pol_ctx, so 
this seemed like the easiest fix short of using *uninitialized_var(pol_ctx).

<title>[IPSEC]: Fix catch-22 with algorithm IDs above 31</title>

As it stands it's impossible to use any authentication algorithms
with an ID above 31 portably.  It just happens to work on x86 but
fails miserably on ppc64.

The reason is that we're using a bit mask to check the algorithm
ID but the mask is only 32 bits wide.

After looking at how this is used in the field, I have concluded
that in the long term we should phase out state matching by IDs
because this is made superfluous by the reqid feature.  For current
applications, the best solution IMHO is to allow all algorithms when
the bit masks are all ~0.

The following patch does exactly that.

This bug was identified by IBM when testing on the ppc64 platform
using the NULL authentication algorithm which has an ID of 251.

The xfrm_get_policy() and xfrm_add_pol_expire() put some rather large structs
on the stack to work around the LSM API.  This patch attempts to fix that
problem by changing the LSM API to require only the relevant "security"
pointers instead of the entire SPD entry; we do this for all of the
security_xfrm_policy*() functions to keep things consistent.

Stop dumping of entries when af_key socket receive queue is getting
full and continue it later when there is more room again.

This fixes dumping of large databases. Currently the entries not
fitting into the receive queue are just dropped (including the
end-of-dump message) which can confuse applications.

Change xfrm_policy and xfrm_state walking algorithm from O(n^2) to O(n).
This is achieved adding the entries to one more list which is used
solely for walking the entries.

This also fixes some races where the dump can have duplicate or missing
entries when the SPD/SADB is modified during an ongoing dump.

Dumping SADB with 20000 entries using "time ip xfrm state" the sys
time dropped from 1.012s to 0.080s.
