Bernhard Walle aef8811abb [XFRM]: Fix oops in xfrm4_dst_destroy()
With 2.6.21-rc1, I get an oops when running 'ifdown eth0' and an IPsec
connection is active. If I shut down the connection before running 'ifdown
eth0', then there's no problem.  The critical operation of this script is to
kill dhcpd.

The problem is probably caused by commit with git identifier
4337226228 (Linus tree) "[IPSEC]: IPv4 over IPv6
IPsec tunnel".

This patch fixes that oops. I don't know the network code of the Linux
kernel in deep, so if that fix is wrong, please change it. But please
fix the oops. :)

Vlad Yasevich 1845a579e0 [SCTP]: Strike the transport before updating rto.
Once we reach a point where we exceed the max.path.retrans, strike the

Vlad Yasevich 8c4a2d41a7 [SCTP]: Fix connection hang/slowdown with PR-SCTP
The problem that this patch corrects happens when all of the following
conditions are satisfisfied:
 1.  PR-SCTP is used and the timeout on the chunks is set below RTO.Max.
 2.  One of the paths on a multihomed associations is brought down.

In this scenario, data will expire within the rto of the initial
transmission and will never be retransmitted.  However this data still
fills the send buffer and is counted against the association as outstanding
data.  This causes any new data not to be sent and retransmission to not
happen.

The fix is to discount the abandoned data from the outstanding count and
peers rwnd estimation.  This allows new data to be sent and a retransmission
timer restarted.  Even though this new data will most likely expire within
the rto, the timer still counts as a strike against the transport and forces
the FORWARD-TSN chunk to be retransmitted as well.

Christoph Lameter 53b8a315b7 [PATCH] Convert highest_possible_processor_id to nr_cpu_ids
We frequently need the maximum number of possible processors in order to
allocate arrays for all processors.  So far this was done using
highest_possible_processor_id().  However, we do need the number of
processors not the highest id.  Moreover the number was so far dynamically
calculated on each invokation.  The number of possible processors does not
change when the system is running.  We can therefore calculate that number
once.

Christoph Lameter 74c7aa8b85 [PATCH] Replace highest_possible_node_id() with nr_node_ids
highest_possible_node_id() is currently used to calculate the last possible
node idso that the network subsystem can figure out how to size per node
arrays.

I think having the ability to determine the maximum amount of nodes in a
system at runtime is useful but then we should name this entry
correspondingly, it should return the number of node_ids, and the the value
needs to be setup only once on bootup.  The node_possible_map does not
change after bootup.

This patch introduces nr_node_ids and replaces the use of
highest_possible_node_id().  nr_node_ids is calculated on bootup when the
page allocators pagesets are initialized.

Larry Finger bb52a653ea [PATCH] ieee80211softmac: Fix setting of initial transmit rates
There is a bug in ieee80211softmac that always sets the user rate
to 11Mbs, no matter the capabilities of the device. This bug was
probably beneficial as long as the bcm43xx cards were rate limited;
however, most are now capable of relatively high speeds. This patch
fixes that bug and eliminates an assert that is no longer needed.

Once the cards are capable of full OFDM speeds, the 24 Mbs rate will
be changed to 54 Mbs.

Eric W. Biederman 0b4d414714 [PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctl
The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered
sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name.  Which is
pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented.

I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of
register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register
duplicate sysctl entries.

So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in
the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future
enhancments harder.

Eric W. Biederman b402f06d6e [PATCH] sysctl: x25: remove unnecessary insert_at_head from register_sysctl_table
There has not been much maintenance on sysctl in years, and as a result is
there is a lot to do to allow future interesting work to happen, and being
ambitious I'm trying to do it all at once :)

The patches in this series fall into several general categories.

- Removal of useless attempts to override the standard sysctls

- Registers of sysctl numbers in sysctl.h so someone else does not use
  the magic number and conflict.

- C99 conversions so it becomes possible to change the layout of
  struct ctl_table without breaking everything.

- Removal of useless claims of module ownership, in the proc dir entries

- Removal of sys_sysctl support where people had used conflicting sysctl
  numbers. Trying to break glibc or other applications by changing the
  ABI is not cool.  9 instances of this in the kernel seems a little
  extreme.

- General enhancements when I got the junk I could see out.

This patch:

Since x25 uses unique binary numbers inserting yourself at the head of the
search list for sysctls so you can override already registered sysctls is
pointless.

Tim Schmielau cd354f1ae7 [PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h
After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there.  Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.

To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.

Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
configs in arch/arm/configs on arm.  I also checked that no new warnings were
introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
by unnecessarily included header files).

NeilBrown 3fc605a2aa [PATCH] knfsd: allow the server to provide a gid list when using AUTH_UNIX authentication
AUTH_UNIX authentication (the standard with NFS) has a limit of 16 groups ids.
 This causes problems for people in more than 16 groups.

So allow the server to map a uid into a list of group ids based on local
knowledge rather depending on the (possibly truncated) list from the client.

If there is no process on the server responding to upcalls, the gidlist in the
request will still be used.
