f78a1b3892 [TCP]: Make snd_cwnd_cnt 32-bit
Very little point of having 32-bit snd_cnwd if this is not
32-bit as well, as a number of snd_cwnd incrementation formulas
assume that snd_cwnd_cnt can be at least as large as snd_cwnd.

Whether 32-bit is useful was discussed when e0ef57cc56

355aaffdaf Reinstate lost flush_ioremap_region() fix to pxa2xx-flash driver
Commit 90833fdab8 ("[ARM] 4554/1: replace
consistent_sync() with flush_ioremap_region()") introduced a new
"flush_ioremap_region()" function to be used by the MTD mainstone-flash
and lubbock-flash drivers to fix a regression from around 2.6.18.

Those drivers were independently merged into a single driver by Todd
Poynor in commit e644f7d628 ("[MTD] MAPS:
Merge Lubbock and Mainstone drivers into common PXA2xx driver")

Later, those two commits were merged into the main MTD tree by commit
b160292cc2 ("Merge Linux 2.6.23") by David
Woodhouse, but in that merge, the fix to use flush_iomap_region() got
lost (as it was to files that now no longer existed).

This reinstates the fix in the new driver.

4ae289444b [NEIGH]: Ensure that pneigh_lookup is protected with RTNL
The pnigh_lookup is used to lookup proxy entries and to 
create them in case lookup failed. 

However, the "creation" code does not perform the re-lookup
after GFP_KERNEL allocation. This is done because the code
is expected to be protected with the RTNL lock, so add the 
assertion (mainly to address future questions from new network 
developers like me :) ).

c596cc46ba scsi/gdth: fix crash in gdth_timeout if no gdth controllers found
If the gdth module is loaded (or compiled in), the gdth_timeout function
gets started even if no actual gdth controllers are found b the probing.

That ends up not only being unnecessary, but also causes a crash due to
the function blindly just trying to pick the first entry off the
"gdth_instances" list, and accessing it - which obviously doesn't work
if the list is empty!

The strn_pattern_cmp routine does not handle a blank name parameter
properly. The only patterns which should match a blank name are "*"
and an explicit "". If the function is passed a blank name in current

itself as the device with the empty model name always matching the first
device in the DMA blacklist, forcing it to revert to PIO mode.

7eb95156d9 [INET]: Collect frag queues management objects together
There are some objects that are common in all the places
which are used to keep track of frag queues, they are:

 * hash table
 * LRU list
 * rw lock
 * rnd number for hash function
 * the number of queues
 * the amount of memory occupied by queues
 * secret timer

Move all this stuff into one structure (struct inet_frags)
to make it possible use them uniformly in the future. Like
with the previous patch this mostly consists of hunks like

-    write_lock(&ipfrag_lock);
+    write_lock(&ip4_frags.lock);

the amount of memory occupied by queues outside the .c file
they are declared in, I introduce a couple of helpers.

In making that change, the PCI latency timer and cache line size
registers were not restored after chip reset.  On the 5705, the
latency timer gets reset to 0 during chip reset and this causes
very poor performance.

a030847e9f [NET]: Avoid copying TCP packets unnecessarily
TCP packets all have writable heads, that is, even though it's cloned, it is
writable up to the end of the TCP header.  This patch makes skb_checksum_help
aware of this fact by using skb_clone_writable and avoiding a copy for TCP.

I've also modified the BUG_ON tests to be unsigned.  The only case where this
makes a difference is if csum_start points to a location before skb->data.
Since skb->data should always include the header where the checksum field
is (and all currently callers adhere to that), this change is safe and may
uncover bugs later.

Due to the special location of the bridging hook, it should never see a
shared packet anyway (certainly not with any in-kernel code).  So it
makes sense to unshare the skb there if necessary as that will greatly
simplify the code below it (in particular, netfilter).

f697c3e8b3 [NET]: Avoid unnecessary cloning for ingress filtering
As it is we always invoke pt_prev before ing_filter, even if there are no
ingress filters attached.  This can cause unnecessary cloning in pt_prev.

This patch changes it so that we only invoke pt_prev if there are ingress
filters attached.

776c729e8d [IPV4]: Change ip_defrag to return an integer
Now that ip_frag always returns the packet given to it on input, we can
change it to return an integer indicating error instead.  This patch does
that and updates all its callers accordingly.

1706d58763 [IPV4]: Make ip_defrag return the same packet
This patch is a bit of a hack.  However it is worth it if you consider that
this is the only reason why we have to carry around the struct sk_buff **
pointers in netfilter.

It makes ip_defrag always return the packet that was given to it on input.
It does this by cloning the packet and replacing its original contents with
the head fragment if necessary.

e0053ec07e [SKBUFF]: Add skb_morph
This patch creates a new function skb_morph that's just like skb_clone
except that it lets user provide the spare skb that will be overwritten
by the one that's to be cloned.

This will be used by IP fragment reassembly so that we get back the same
skb that went in last (rather than the head skb that we get now which
requires us to carry around double pointers all over the place).

dec18810c5 [SKBUFF]: Merge common code between copy_skb_header and skb_clone
This patch creates a new function __copy_skb_header to merge the common
code between copy_skb_header and skb_clone.  Having two functions which
are largely the same is a source of wasted labour as well as confusion.

In fact the tc_verd stuff is almost certainly a bug since it's treated
differently in skb_clone compared to the callers of copy_skb_header
(skb_copy/pskb_copy/skb_copy_expand).

I've kept that difference in tact with a comment added asking for
clarification.
