30c4cf577f [IPV4/IPV6]: Fix inet{,6} device initialization order.
It is important that we only assign dev->ip{,6}_ptr
only after all portions of the inet{,6} are setup.

Otherwise we can receive packets before the multicast
spinlocks et al. are initialized.

5c668704b7 [UDP]: Fix reversed logic in udp_get_port().
When this code was converted to use sk_for_each() the
logic for the "best hash chain length" code was reversed,
breaking everything.

The original code was of the form:

			size = 0;
			do {
				if (++size >= best_size_so_far)
					goto next;
			} while ((sk = sk->next) != NULL);
			best_size_so_far = size;
			best = result;
		next:;

and this got converted into:

			sk_for_each(sk2, node, head)
				if (++size < best_size_so_far) {
					best_size_so_far = size;
					best = result;
				}

Which does something very very different from the original.

caff5b6a6b NetLabel: correctly fill in unused CIPSOv4 level and category mappings
Back when the original NetLabel patches were being changed to use Netlink
attributes correctly some code was accidentially dropped which set all of the
undefined CIPSOv4 level and category mappings to a sentinel value.  The result
is the mappings data in the kernel contains bogus mappings which always map to
zero.  This patch restores the old/correct behavior by initializing the mapping
data to the correct sentinel value.

6f07a8a3eb [PATCH] ieee80211softmac: Fix errors related to the work_struct changes
The signature of work functions changed recently from a context
pointer to the work structure pointer. This caused a problem in
the ieee80211softmac code, because the ieee80211softmac_assox_work
function has  been called directly with a parameter explicitly
casted to (void*). This compiled correctly but resulted in a
softlock, because mutex_lock was called with the wrong memory
address. The patch fixes the problem. Another issue was a wrong
call of the schedule_work function. Softmac works again and this
fixes the problem I mentioned earlier in the zd1211rw rx tasklet
patch. The patch is against Linus' tree (commit af1713e0).

29c7cf9618 [SCTP]: Handle address add/delete events in a more efficient way.
Currently in SCTP, we maintain a local address list by rebuilding the whole
list from the device list whenever we get a address add/delete event.

This patch fixes it by only adding/deleting the address for which we
receive the event.

Also removed the sctp_local_addr_lock() which is no longer needed as we
now use list_for_each_safe() to traverse this list. This fixes the bugs
in sctp_copy_laddrs_xxx() routines where we do copy_to_user() while
holding this lock.

That speeds the things up if some chain is refered to from several places

01f3bd1f03 [PATCH] knfsd: svcrpc: remove another silent drop from deferral code
There's no point deferring something just to immediately fail the deferral,
especially now that we can do something more useful in the failure case by
returning an error.

e0bb89ef03 [PATCH] knfsd: nfsd: don't drop silently on upcall deferral
To avoid tying up server threads when nfsd makes an upcall (to mountd, to get
export options, to idmapd, for nfsv4 name<->id mapping, etc.), we temporarily
"drop" the request and save enough information so that we can revisit it
later.

Certain failures during the deferral process can cause us to really drop the
request and never revisit it.

This is often less than ideal, and is unacceptable in the NFSv4 case--rfc 3530
forbids the server from dropping a request without also closing the
connection.

As a first step, we modify the deferral code to return -ETIMEDOUT (which is
translated to nfserr_jukebox in the v3 and v4 cases, and remains a drop in the
v2 case).
