cef2685e00 [IPV4]: Aggregate route entries with different TOS values
When we get an ICMP need-to-frag message, the original TOS value in the
ICMP payload cannot be used as a key to look up the routes to update.
This is because the TOS field may have been modified by routers on the
way.  Similarly, ip_rt_redirect should also ignore the TOS as the router
that gave us the message may have modified the TOS value.

The patch achieves this objective by aggregating entries with different
TOS values (but are otherwise identical) into the same bucket.  This
makes it easy to update them at the same time when an ICMP message is
received.

In future we should use a twin-hashing scheme where teh aggregation
occurs at the entry level.  That is, the TOS goes back into the hash
for normal lookups while ICMP lookups will end up with a node that
gives us a list that contains all other route entries that differ
only by TOS.

7b4f4b5ebc [TCP]: Set default max buffers from memory pool size
This patch sets the maximum TCP buffer sizes (available to automatic
buffer tuning, not to setsockopt) based on the TCP memory pool size.
The maximum sndbuf and rcvbuf each will be up to 4 MB, but no more
than 1/128 of the memory pressure threshold.

2babf9daae [SCTP]: Fix up sctp_rcv return value
I was working on the ipip/xfrm problem and as usual I get side-tracked by
other problems.

As part of an attempt to change the IPv4 protocol handler calling
convention I found that SCTP violated the existing convention.

It's returning non-zero values after freeing the skb.  This is doubly bad
as 1) the skb gets resubmitted; 2) the return value is interpreted as a
protocol number.

This patch changes those return values to zero.

IPv6 doesn't suffer from this problem because it uses a positive return
value as an indication for resubmission.  So the only effect of this patch
there is to increment the IPSTATS_MIB_INDELIVERS counter which IMHO is
the right thing to do.

9f514950bb [NET]: Take RTNL when unregistering notifier
The netdev notifier call chain is currently unregistered without taking
any locks outside the notifier system.  Because the notifier system itself
does not synchronise unregistration with respect to the calling of the
chain, we as its user need to do our own locking.

We are supposed to take the RTNL for all calls to netdev notifiers, so
taking the RTNL should be sufficient to protect it.

The registration path in dev.c already takes the RTNL so it's OK.

e0661111e5 [PATCH] RLIMIT_CPU: fix handling of a zero limit
At present the kernel doesn't honour an attempt to set RLIMIT_CPU to zero
seconds.  But the spec says it should, and that's what 2.4.x does.

Fixing this for real would involve some complexity (such as adding a new
it-has-been-set flag to the task_struct, and testing that everwhere, instead
of overloading the value of it_prof_expires).

Given that a 2.4 kernel won't actually send the signal until one second has
expired anyway, let's just handle this case by treating the caller's
zero-seconds as one second.

ec9e16bacd [PATCH] sys_setrlimit() cleanup

- Make that expression comprehensible.

There's a potential logic change here: we do the "is it_prof_expires equal to
zero" test after converting it to seconds, rather than doing the comparison
between raw cputime_t's.

But given that it's in units of seconds anyway, that shouldn't change
anything.

serial8250_console_setup() never gets invoked when CONFIG_PRINTK is not

console=ttyS0,115200n8 is ignored, at least the baud rate part...)

676758bdb7 [PATCH] msync: fix return value
msync() does a strange thing.  Essentially:

	vma = find_vma();
	for ( ; ; ) {
		if (!vma)
			return -ENOMEM;
		...
		vma = vma->vm_next;
	}

so an msync() request which starts within or before a valid VMA and which ends
within or beyond the final VMA will incorrectly return -ENOMEM.

Fix.

707c21c848 [PATCH] msync(MS_SYNC): don't hold mmap_sem while syncing
It seems bad to hold mmap_sem while performing synchronous disk I/O.  Alter
the msync(MS_SYNC) code so that the lock is released while we sync the file.

9c50823eeb [PATCH] msync(): perform dirty page levelling
It seems sensible to perform dirty page throttling in msync: as the application
dirties pages we can kick off pdflush early, or even force the msync() caller
to perform writeout, or even throttle the msync() caller.

The main effect of this is to start disk writeback earlier if we've just
discovered that a large amount of pagecache has been dirtied.  (Otherwise it
wouldn't happen for up to five seconds, next time pdflush wakes up).

It also will cause the page-dirtying process to get panalised for dirtying
those pages rather than whacking someone else with the problem.

We should do this for munmap() and possibly even exit(), too.

We drop the mmap_sem while performing the dirty page balancing.  It doesn't
seem right to hold mmap_sem for that long.

Note that this patch only affects MS_ASYNC.  MS_SYNC will be syncing all the
dirty pages anyway.

We note that msync(MS_SYNC) does a full-file-sync inside mmap_sem, and always
has.  We can fix that up...

The patch also tightens up the mmap_sem coverage in sys_msync(): no point in
taking it while we perform the incoming arg checking.

4741c9fd36 [PATCH] set_page_dirty() return value fixes
We need set_page_dirty() to return true if it actually transitioned the page
from a clean to dirty state.  This wasn't right in a couple of places.  Do a
kernel-wide audit, fix things up.

This leaves open the possibility of returning a negative errno from
set_page_dirty() sometime in the future.  But we don't do that at present.
