The patch below introduces special thresholds to keep root node in the trie
large. This gives a flatter tree at the cost of a modest memory increase.
Overall it seems to be gain and this was also proposed by one the authors
of the paper in recent a seminar.

Replicate IGMP frames across all slaves in activebackup mode. This
ensures fail-over is rapid for multicast traffic as well. Otherwise,
multicast traffic will be lost until the next IGMP membership report
poll timeout.
This is conceptually similar to the treatment of IGMP traffic in
bond_alb_xmit. In that case, IGMP traffic transmitted on any slave
is re-routed to the active slave in order to ensure that multicast
traffic continues to be directed to the active receiver.

a runtime parameter(for now, loadable parameter). Default is INTA.
Patch has been tested on IA64 platform with Xframe II adapter,
both of which support MSI-X feature. An improvement of about 7%
in throughput(both Tx and Rx) was observed and a reduction by 7%
in CPU utilization during Tx test.

Unfortunately, [your patch] might address the crash but doesn't address
the real problem. It turns out that the problem is one of padding
(the firmware cksum engine works only on 32-bit chunks, yuck), so
the special casing for length == 1 wasn't sufficient anyway.
This patch addresses the issue, as well the other issue of i386 +
CONFIG_HIGHMEM being broken. It is pretty much the same workaround
that Adaptec themselves used in their Windows driver. I have yet to
check if it fixes the problem when the skb is non-linear, but this
patch _will_ solve the problem for 99% of the users out there (those
not using sendfile).

This patch removes backwards compatibility for old ifenslave

I did not similarly modify ifenslave itself; with sysfs on the

This patch introduces new feature in qeth:
qeth enhancement provides the device driver support for
the Communication Controller for Linux on System z9 and zSeries
(CCL), which is software that enables running the Network Control
Program (NCP) on a zSeries machine. The OSA CDLC support is based
on a new IBM mainframe CHPID type called Open Systems Adaper for
NCP (OSN). In case of OSN qeth communicates with the type-OSN
OSA-card on one hand, and with the CCL-kernel-component Network
Device Handler (NDH) on the other.

- call ccw_device_set_offline on every channel regardless

- allocate qdio structures in DMA-area
- schedule recovery of appropriate card

Unregister all netdevs before freeing local data. I was unable to

be a race condition with this, better make it less likely to happen by
unregistering the netdevs first.

local->hw_priv was being freed and set to NULL just before calling
prism2_free_local_data(). However, this may expose a race condition in
which something ends up trying to use hw_priv during shutdown. I
haven't noticed this happening, but better be safe than sorry, so
let's postpone hw_priv freeing to happen only after
prism2_free_local_data() has returned.

Host AP driver used hardware model specific dev_open/close handlers
that were called on dev_open/close if the hardware driver had
registered the handler. These were only used for hostap_cs and only
for tracking whether any of the netdevs were UP. This information is
already available from local->num_dev_open, so there is not need for
the special open/close handler.
Let's get rid of these handlers. In addition to cleaning up the code,
this fixes a module refcounting issue for hostap_cs where ejecting the
card while any of the netdevs were open did not decrement refcount
properly.

The following patch renames __in_dev_get() to __in_dev_get_rtnl() and
introduces __in_dev_get_rcu() to cover the second case.
1) RCU with refcnt should use in_dev_get().
2) RCU without refcnt should use __in_dev_get_rcu().
3) All others must hold RTNL and use __in_dev_get_rtnl().
There is one exception in net/ipv4/route.c which is in fact a pre-existing
race condition. I've marked it as such so that we remember to fix it.
