The existing code for the copy to user and error handling at the
end of getsockopt isn't easy to follow, due to the excessive use
of if/else. By simply using return where appropriate, it can be
made smaller and easier to follow at the same time.

Completes the simplification of TIPC's debugging capabilities. By default
TIPC includes no debugging code, and any debugging code added by developers
that calls the dbg() and dbg_macros() is compiled out. If debugging support
is enabled, TIPC prints out some additional data about its internal state
when certain abnormal conditions occur, and any developer-added calls to the
TIPC debug macros are compiled in.

[PATCH net-next-2.6] net: timestamp cloned packet in dev_queue_xmit_nit
Now we do one clone of skb if at least one sniffer might take packet,
we also can do the skb timestamping on the clone and let original packet
unchanged.
This is a generalization of commit 8caf153974 (net: sch_netem: Fix an
inconsistency in ingress netem timestamps.)
This way, we can have a good idea when packets are delivered to our
stack (tcpdump -i ifb0), while a tcpdump on original device gives
timestamps right before ingressing.
This also speedup our stack, avoiding taking timestamps if not needed.

This patch changes the default initial receive window to 10 mss
(defined constant). The default window is limited to the maximum
of 10*1460 and 2*mss (when mss > 1460).
draft-ietf-tcpm-initcwnd-00 is a proposal to the IETF that recommends
increasing TCP's initial congestion window to 10 mss or about 15KB.
Leading up to this proposal were several large-scale live Internet
experiments with an initial congestion window of 10 mss (IW10), where
we showed that the average latency of HTTP responses improved by
approximately 10%. This was accompanied by a slight increase in
retransmission rate (0.5%), most of which is coming from applications
opening multiple simultaneous connections. To understand the extreme
worst case scenarios, and fairness issues (IW10 versus IW3), we further
conducted controlled testbed experiments. We came away finding minimal
negative impact even under low link bandwidths (dial-ups) and small
buffers. These results are extremely encouraging to adopting IW10.
However, an initial congestion window of 10 mss is useless unless a TCP
receiver advertises an initial receive window of at least 10 mss.
Fortunately, in the large-scale Internet experiments we found that most
widely used operating systems advertised large initial receive windows
of 64KB, allowing us to experiment with a wide range of initial
congestion windows. Linux systems were among the few exceptions that
advertised a small receive window of 6KB. The purpose of this patch is
to fix this shortcoming.

ceph: mark user pages dirty on direct-io reads
ceph: fix null pointer dereference in ceph_init_dentry for nfs reexport
ceph: fix direct-io on non-page-aligned buffers
ceph: fix msgr_init error path
When deploying SFQ/IFB here at work, I found the allot management was
pretty wrong in sfq, even changing allot from short to int...
We should init allot for each new flow, not using a previous value found
in slot.
Before patch, I saw bursts of several packets per flow, apparently
denying the default "quantum 1514" limit I had on my SFQ class.
class sfq 11:1 parent 11:
(dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0)
backlog 0b 7p requeues 0
allot 11546
class sfq 11:46 parent 11:
(dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0)
backlog 0b 1p requeues 0
allot -23873
class sfq 11:78 parent 11:
(dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0)
backlog 0b 5p requeues 0
allot 11393
After patch, better fairness among each flow, allot limit being
respected, allot is positive :
class sfq 11:e parent 11:
(dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 86)
backlog 0b 3p requeues 86
allot 596
class sfq 11:94 parent 11:

backlog 0b 3p requeues 0
allot 1468
class sfq 11:a4 parent 11:

class sfq 11:bb parent 11:

When an skb is shared, it needs to be duplicated, along with its data buffer.
If the skb does not have enough headroom, using skb_copy might cause the data
buffer to be copied twice (once by skb_copy and once by pskb_expand_head).
Fix this by using skb_clone initially and letting ieee80211_skb_resize sort
out the rest.

The Mesh Control header only includes 0, 1 or 2 addresses. If there is
one address, it should be interpreted as Address 4. If there are 2,
they are interpreted as Addresses 5 and 6 (Address 4 being the 4th
address in the 802.11 header).
The address extension used to hold up to 3 addresses instead of the current 2.
I'm not sure which draft version changed this, but it is very unlikely that it
will change again given the state of the approval process of this draft. See
section 7.1.3.6.3 in current draft (8.0).
Also, note that the extra address that I'm removing was not being used, so this
change has no effect on over-the-air frame formats. But I thought I better
remove it before someone does start using it.

The first big packets sent to a "low-MTU" client correctly
triggers the creation of a temporary route containing the reduced MTU.
But after the temporary route has expired, new ICMP6 "packet too big"
will be sent, rt6_pmtu_discovery will find the previous EXPIRED route
check that its mtu isn't bigger then in icmp packet and do nothing
before the temporary route will not deleted by gc.
I make the simple experiment:
while :; do
time ( dd if=/dev/zero bs=10K count=1 | ssh hostname dd of=/dev/null ) || break;
done
The "time" reports real 0m0.197s if a temporary route isn't expired, but
it reports real 0m52.837s (!!!!) immediately after a temporare route has
expired.

Add a new notification to indicate that a received, unprotected
Deauthentication or Disassociation frame was dropped due to
management frame protection being in use. This notification is
needed to allow user space (e.g., wpa_supplicant) to implement
SA Query procedure to recover from association state mismatch
between an AP and STA.
This is needed to avoid getting stuck in non-working state when MFP
(IEEE 802.11w) is used and a protected Deauthentication or
Disassociation frame is dropped for any reason. After that, the
station would silently discard any unprotected Deauthentication or
Disassociation frame that could be indicating that the AP does not
have association for the STA (when the Reason Code would be 6 or 7).
IEEE Std 802.11w-2009, 11.13 describes this recovery mechanism.

Now dst metrics are pretty much left as-is when new entries are
