Recently the documentation in Documentation/nfsroot.txt was
update to note that in fact ip=off and ip=::::::off as the
latter is ignored and the default (on) is used.
This was certainly a step in the direction of reducing confusion.
But it seems to me that the code ought to be fixed up so that
ip=::::::off actually turns off ip autoconfiguration.
This patch also notes more specifically that ip=on (aka ip=::::::on)
is the default.

Some users do "modprobe ip_conntrack hashsize=...". Since we have the
module aliases this loads nf_conntrack_ipv4 and nf_conntrack, the
hashsize parameter is unknown for nf_conntrack_ipv4 however and makes
it fail.
Allow to specify hashsize= for both nf_conntrack and nf_conntrack_ipv4.
Note: the nf_conntrack message in the ringbuffer will display an
incorrect hashsize since nf_conntrack is first pulled in as a
dependency and calculates the size itself, then it gets changed
through a call to nf_conntrack_set_hashsize().

When copying entries to user, the kernel makes two passes through the
data, first copying all the entries, then fixing up names and counters.
On the second pass it copies the kernel and match data from userspace
to the kernel again to find the corresponding structures, expecting
that kernel pointers contained in the data are still valid.
This is obviously broken, fix by avoiding the second pass completely
and fixing names and counters while dumping the ruleset, using the

Though there's little need for everything that tcp_may_send_now
does (actually, even the state had to be adjusted to pass some
checks FRTO does not want to occur), it's more robust to let it
make the decision if sending is allowed. State adjustments
needed:
- Make sure snd_cwnd limit is not hit in there
- Disable nagle (if necessary) through the frto_counter == 2
The result of check for frto_counter in argument to call for
tcp_enter_frto_loss can just be open coded, therefore there
isn't need to store the previous frto_counter past
tcp_may_send_now.
In addition, returns can then be combined.

mutex_lock(&inet_diag_mutex);
netlink_rcv_skb(skb, &inet_diag_rcv_msg);

inet_diag_dump()
handler = inet_diag_table[cb->nlh->nlmsg_type];
BUG_ON(handler == NULL);
/* OOPS! While we slept the unregister has set

Grep showed, that the register/unregister functions are called
from init/fini module callbacks for tcp_/dccp_diag, so it's OK
to use the inet_diag_mutex to synchronize manipulations with the
inet_diag_table and the access to it.
Besides, as Herbert pointed out, asynchronous dumps should hold
this mutex as well, and thus, we provide the mutex as cb_mutex one.

[ Patrick McHardy states:
I now understand whats happening:
- new connection is allocated without helper
- connection is REDIRECTed to localhost
- nf_nat_setup_info adds NAT extension, but doesn't initialize it yet
- nf_conntrack_alter_reply performs a helper lookup based on the
new tuple, finds the SIP helper and allocates a helper extension,
causing reallocation because of too little space
- nf_nat_move_storage is called with the uninitialized nat extension

From: "Sam Jansen" <sjansen@google.com>
sysctl_tcp_congestion_control seems to have a bug that prevents it
from actually calling the tcp_set_default_congestion_control
function. This is not so apparent because it does not return an error
and generally the /proc interface is used to configure the default TCP
congestion control algorithm. This is present in 2.6.18 onwards and
probably earlier, though I have not inspected 2.6.15--2.6.17.
sysctl_tcp_congestion_control calls sysctl_string and expects a successful
return code of 0. In such a case it actually sets the congestion control
algorithm with tcp_set_default_congestion_control. Otherwise, it returns the
value returned by sysctl_string. This was correct in 2.6.14, as sysctl_string
returned 0 on success. However, sysctl_string was updated to return 1 on
success around about 2.6.15 and sysctl_tcp_congestion_control was not updated.
Even though sysctl_tcp_congestion_control returns 1, do_sysctl_strategy
converts this return code to '0', so the caller never notices the error.

we converted rt_check_expire() from softirq to workqueue, allowing the
function to perform all work it was supposed to do.
When the IP route cache is big, rt_check_expire() can take a long time
to run. (default settings : 20% of the hash table is scanned at each
invocation)
Adding cond_resched() helps giving cpu to higher priority tasks if
necessary.
Using a "if (need_resched())" test before calling "cond_resched();" is
necessary to avoid spending too much time doing the resched check.

be sufficient to provide proper operation for FRTO, yet other
