Jiffies wraps around therefore the correct way to compare is
to use cast to signed value.

Note: cubic is not using full jiffies value on 64 bit arch
because using full unsigned long makes struct bictcp grow too
large for the available ca_priv area.

In the congestion control interface, the callback for each ACK
includes an estimated round trip time in microseconds.
Some algorithms need high resolution (Vegas style) but most only
need jiffie resolution.  If RTT is not accurate (like a retransmission)
-1 is used as a flag value.

When doing coarse resolution if RTT is less than a a jiffie
then 0 should be returned rather than no estimate. Otherwise algorithms
that expect good ack's to trigger slow start (like CUBIC Hystart)
will be confused.

developpement was changed from bonding-devel to netdev.

Update the bonding documentation to reflect this change:

- bonding-devel is used for usage discussions (despite the name).
- netdev is used for developpement discussions.

Also remove the reference to the sourceforge bonding page, which is

Currently, for N 5800 XM I get:
cdc_phonet: probe of 1-6:1.10 failed with error -22

It's because phonet_header is empty. Extra altsetting looks like
there:

If Spanning Tree Protocol is not enabled, there is no good reason for
the bridge code to wait for the forwarding delay period before enabling
the link. The purpose of the forwarding delay is to allow STP to
learn about other bridges before nominating itself.

The only possible impact is that when starting up a new port
the bridge may flood a packet now, where previously it might have
seen traffic from the other host and preseeded the forwarding table.

Includes change for local variable br already available in that func.

Without this patch, inodes are not promptly freed on last close of an
unlinked file by an nfs client:

	client$ mount -tnfs4 server:/export/ /mnt/
	client$ tail -f /mnt/FOO
	...
	server$ df -i /export
	server$ rm /export/FOO
	(^C the tail -f)
	server$ df -i /export
	server$ echo 2 >/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
	server$ df -i /export

the df's will show that the inode is not freed on the filesystem until
the last step, when it could have been freed after killing the client's
tail -f. On-disk data won't be deallocated either, leading to possible
spurious ENOSPC.

This occurs because when the client does the close, it arrives in a
compound with a putfh and a close, processed like:

	- putfh: look up the filehandle.  The only alias found for the
	  inode will be DCACHE_UNHASHED alias referenced by the filp
	  this, so it creates a new DCACHE_DISCONECTED dentry and
	  returns that instead.
	- close: closes the existing filp, which is destroyed
	  immediately by dput() since it's DCACHE_UNHASHED.
	- end of the compound: release the reference
	  to the current filehandle, and dput() the new
	  DCACHE_DISCONECTED dentry, which gets put on the
	  unused list instead of being destroyed immediately.

Nick Piggin suggested fixing this by allowing d_obtain_alias to return
the unhashed dentry that is referenced by the filp, instead of making it
create a new dentry.

Leave __d_find_alias() alone to avoid changing behavior of other
callers.

Also nfsd doesn't need all the checks of __d_find_alias(); any dentry,
hashed or unhashed, disconnected or not, should work.

In the fallocate path the kernel doesn't check for the immutable/append
flag. It's possible to have a race condition in this scenario: an
application open a file in read/write and it does something, meanwhile
root set the immutable flag on the file, the application at that point
can call fallocate with success. In addition, we don't allow to do any
unreserve operation on an append only file but only the reserve one.

In commit d80bc0fd ("ipv6: Always
clone offlink routes.") we forced the kernel to always clone offlink
routes.

The reason we do that is to make sure we never bind an inetpeer to a
prefixed route.

The logic turned on here has existed in the tree for many years,
but was always off due to a protecting CPP define.  So perhaps
it's no surprise that there is a logic bug here.

The problem is that we canot clone a route that is already a
host route (ie. has DST_HOST set).  Because if we do, an identical
entry already exists in the routing tree and therefore the
ip6_rt_ins() call is going to fail.

This sets off a series of failures and high cpu usage, because when
ip6_rt_ins() fails we loop retrying this operation a few times in
order to handle a race between two threads trying to clone and insert
the same host route at the same time.

Fix this by simply using the route as-is when DST_HOST is set.

  net: don't allow CAP_NET_ADMIN to load non-netdev kernel modules

Fixes this build-check error:

  include/linux/sysctl.h:28: included file 'linux/rcupdate.h' is not exported
Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au>

Since a8f80e8f any process with
CAP_NET_ADMIN may load any module from /lib/modules/.  This doesn't mean
that CAP_NET_ADMIN is a superset of CAP_SYS_MODULE as modules are
limited to /lib/modules/**.  However, CAP_NET_ADMIN capability shouldn't
allow anybody load any module not related to networking.

This patch restricts an ability of autoloading modules to netdev modules
with explicit aliases.  This fixes CVE-2011-1019.

Arnd Bergmann suggested to leave untouched the old pre-v2.6.32 behavior
of loading netdev modules by name (without any prefix) for processes
with CAP_SYS_MODULE to maintain the compatibility with network scripts
that use autoloading netdev modules by aliases like "eth0", "wlan0".

Currently there are only three users of the feature in the upstream
kernel: ipip, ip_gre and sit.
