We discovered that TCP stack could retransmit misaligned skbs if a
malicious peer acknowledged sub MSS frame. This currently can happen
only if output interface is non SG enabled : If SG is enabled, tcp
builds headless skbs (all payload is included in fragments), so the tcp
trimming process only removes parts of skb fragments, header stay
aligned.

Some arches cant handle misalignments, so force a head reallocation and
shrink headroom to MAX_TCP_HEADER.

Dont care about misaligments on x86 and PPC (or other arches setting
NET_IP_ALIGN to 0)

This patch introduces __pskb_copy() which can specify the headroom of
new head, and pskb_copy() becomes a wrapper on top of __pskb_copy()

Open vSwitch is a multilayer Ethernet switch targeted at virtualized
environments.  In addition to supporting a variety of features
expected in a traditional hardware switch, it enables fine-grained
programmatic extension and flow-based control of the network.
This control is useful in a wide variety of applications but is
particularly important in multi-server virtualization deployments,
which are often characterized by highly dynamic endpoints and the need
to maintain logical abstractions for multiple tenants.

The Open vSwitch datapath provides an in-kernel fast path for packet
forwarding.  It is complemented by a userspace daemon, ovs-vswitchd,
which is able to accept configuration from a variety of sources and
translate it into packet processing rules.

See http://openvswitch.org for more information and userspace
utilities.

RED is useful for high throughput routers, I doubt many linux machines
act as such devices.

I was considering adding Adaptative RED (Sally Floyd, Ramakrishna
Gummadi, Scott Shender), August 2001

In this version, maxp is dynamic (from 1% to 50%), and user only have to
setup min_th (target average queue size)
(max_th and wq (burst in linux RED) are automatically setup)

By the way it seems we have a small bug in red_change()

if (skb_queue_empty(&sch->q))
	red_end_of_idle_period(&q->parms);

First, if queue is empty, we should call
red_start_of_idle_period(&q->parms);

Second, since we dont use anymore sch->q, but q->qdisc, the test is
meaningless.

Oh well...

[PATCH] sch_red: fix red_change()

Now RED is classful, we must check q->qdisc->q.qlen, and if queue is empty,
we start an idle period, not end it.

  ...

The dqc_bitmap field of struct ocfs2_local_disk_chunk is 32-bit aligned,
but not 64-bit aligned.  The dqc_bitmap is accessed by ocfs2_set_bit(),
ocfs2_clear_bit(), ocfs2_test_bit(), or ocfs2_find_next_zero_bit().  These
are wrapper macros for ext2_*_bit() which need to take an unsigned long
aligned address (though some architectures are able to handle unaligned
address correctly)

So some 64bit architectures may not be able to access the dqc_bitmap
correctly.

This avoids such unaligned access by using another wrapper functions for
ext2_*_bit().  The code is taken from fs/ext4/mballoc.c which also need to
handle unaligned bitmap access.

When in user-stp mode, bridge master do not follow state of its slaves, so
after the following sequence of events it can stuck forever in no-carrier
state:
1) turn stp off
2) put all slaves down - master device will follow their state and also go in
no-carrier state
3) turn stp on with bridge-stp script returning 0 (go to the user-stp mode)
Now bridge master won't follow slaves' state and will never reach running
state.

This patch solves the problem by making user-stp and kernel-stp behavior
similar regarding master following slaves' states.
