      [IPV4]: Aggregate route entries with different TOS values · cef2685e
      Ilia Sotnikov authored 
      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.

      [TCP]: Set default max buffers from memory pool size · 7b4f4b5e
      John Heffner authored 
      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.

      [SCTP]: Fix up sctp_rcv return value · 2babf9da
      Herbert Xu authored 
      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.

      [NET]: Take RTNL when unregistering notifier · 9f514950
      Herbert Xu authored 
      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.
