<content type='text'>
This patch introduces a constant limit of the fragment queue hash
table bucket list lengths. Currently the limit 128 is choosen somewhat
arbitrary and just ensures that we can fill up the fragment cache with
empty packets up to the default ip_frag_high_thresh limits. It should
just protect from list iteration eating considerable amounts of cpu.

If we reach the maximum length in one hash bucket a warning is printed.
This is implemented on the caller side of inet_frag_find to distinguish
between the different users of inet_fragment.c.

I dropped the out of memory warning in the ipv4 fragment lookup path,
because we already get a warning by the slab allocator.

<title>Fix dst_neigh_lookup/dst_neigh_lookup_skb return value handling bug</title>

<content type='text'>
When neighbour table is full, dst_neigh_lookup/dst_neigh_lookup_skb will return
-ENOBUFS which is absolutely non zero, while all the code in kernel which use
above functions assume failure only on zero return which will cause panic. (for
example: : https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54731).

This patch corrects above error with smallest changes to kernel source code and
also correct two return value check missing bugs in drivers/infiniband/hw/cxgb4/cm.c

Tested on my x86_64 SMP machine

  Author: Denis V. Lunev &lt;den@openvz.org&gt;
  Date:   Thu Jan 10 03:23:38 2008 -0800

    [IPV4]: Unify access to the routing tables.

the defenition of FIB_HASH_TABLE size has obtained wrong dependency:
it should depend upon CONFIG_IP_MULTIPLE_TABLES (as was in the original
code) but it was depended from CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH

This patch returns the situation to the original state.

The problem was spotted by Tingwei Liu.

TCP prequeue mechanism purpose is to let incoming packets
being processed by the thread currently blocked in tcp_recvmsg(),
instead of behalf of the softirq handler, to better adapt flow
control on receiver host capacity to schedule the consumer.

But in typical request/answer workloads, we send request, then
block to receive the answer. And before the actual answer, TCP
stack receives the ACK packets acknowledging the request.

Processing pure ACK on behalf of the thread blocked in tcp_recvmsg()
is a waste of resources, as thread has to immediately sleep again
because it got no payload.

This patch avoids the extra context switches and scheduler overhead.

<title>hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators</title>

<content type='text'>
I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived

        list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)

The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:

        hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)

Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.

Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:

 - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
 - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
 - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
 was modified to use 'obj-&gt;member' instead.
 - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
 properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:

 1) ping_err() ICMP error handler looks at wrong ICMP header, from Li
    Wei.

 2) TCP socket hash function on ipv6 is too weak, from Eric Dumazet.

 3) netif_set_xps_queue() forgets to drop mutex on errors, fix from
    Alexander Duyck.

 4) sum_frag_mem_limit() can deadlock due to lack of BH disabling, fix
    from Eric Dumazet.

 5) TCP SYN data is miscalculated in tcp_send_syn_data(), because the
    amount of TCP option space was not taken into account properly in
    this code path.  Fix from yuchung Cheng.

 6) MLX4 driver allocates device queues with the wrong size, from Kleber
    Sacilotto.

 7) sock_diag can access past the end of the sock_diag_handlers[] array,
    from Mathias Krause.

 8) vlan_set_encap_proto() makes incorrect assumptions about where
    skb-&gt;data points, rework the logic so that it works regardless of
    where skb-&gt;data happens to be.  From Jesse Gross.

 9) Fix gianfar build failure with NET_POLL enabled, from Paul
    Gortmaker.

10) Fix Ipv4 ID setting and checksum calculations in GRE driver, from
   Pravin B Shelar.

11) bgmac driver does:

        int i;

        for (i = 0; ...; ...) {
                ...
                for (i = 0; ...; ...) {

    effectively corrupting the outer loop index, use a seperate
    variable for the inner loops.  From Rafał Miłecki.

12) Fix suspend bugs in smsc95xx driver, from Ming Lei.

Pull user namespace and namespace infrastructure changes from Eric W Biederman:
 "This set of changes starts with a few small enhnacements to the user
  namespace.  reboot support, allowing more arbitrary mappings, and
  support for mounting devpts, ramfs, tmpfs, and mqueuefs as just the
  user namespace root.

  I do my best to document that if you care about limiting your
  unprivileged users that when you have the user namespace support
  enabled you will need to enable memory control groups.

  There is a minor bug fix to prevent overflowing the stack if someone
  creates way too many user namespaces.

  The bulk of the changes are a continuation of the kuid/kgid push down
  work through the filesystems.  These changes make using uids and gids
  typesafe which ensures that these filesystems are safe to use when
  multiple user namespaces are in use.  The filesystems converted for
  3.9 are ceph, 9p, afs, ocfs2, gfs2, ncpfs, nfs, nfsd, and cifs.  The
  changes for these filesystems were a little more involved so I split
  the changes into smaller hopefully obviously correct changes.

  XFS is the only filesystem that remains.  I was hoping I could get
  that in this release so that user namespace support would be enabled
  with an allyesconfig or an allmodconfig but it looks like the xfs
  changes need another couple of days before it they are ready."
