f34d1955df [TCP]: H-TCP maxRTT estimation at startup
Small patch to H-TCP from Douglas Leith. 

Fix estimation of maxRTT.  The original code ignores rtt measurements
during slow start (via the check tp->snd_ssthresh < 0xFFFF) yet this
is probably a good time to try to estimate max rtt as delayed acking
is disabled and slow start will only exit on a loss which presumably
corresponds to a maxrtt measurement.  Second, the original code (via
the check htcp_ccount(ca) > 3) ignores rtt data during what it
estimates to be the first 3 round-trip times.  This seems like an
unnecessary check now that the RCV timestamp are no longer used
for rtt estimation.

The LSM domain mapping head table pointer was not being referenced via the RCU

b247bbf1da SUNRPC: Fix a race in rpciod_down()
The commit 4ada539ed7 lead to the unpleasant
possibility of an asynchronous rpc_task being required to call
rpciod_down() when it is complete. This again means that the rpciod
workqueue may get to call destroy_workqueue on itself -> hang...

Change rpciod_up/rpciod_down to just get/put the module, and then
create/destroy the workqueues on module load/unload.

4a4b6271a8 [PF_KEY]: Fix ipsec not working in 2.6.23-rc1-git10
Although an ipsec SA was established, kernel couldn't seem to find it.

I think since we are now using "x->sel.family" instead of "family" in
the xfrm_selector_match() called in xfrm_state_find(), af_key needs to
set this field too, just as xfrm_user.

In af_key.c, x->sel.family only gets set when there's an
ext_hdrs[SADB_EXT_ADDRESS_PROXY-1] which I think is for tunnel.

I think pfkey needs to also set the x->sel.family field when it is 0.

Tested with below patch, and ipsec worked when using pfkey.

3516ffb0fe [TCP]: Invoke tcp_sendmsg() directly, do not use inet_sendmsg().
As discovered by Evegniy Polyakov, if we try to sendmsg after
a connection reset, we can do incredibly stupid things.

The core issue is that inet_sendmsg() tries to autobind the
socket, but we should never do that for TCP.  Instead we should
just go straight into TCP's sendmsg() code which will do all
of the necessary state and pending socket error checks.

TCP's sendpage already directly vectors to tcp_sendpage(), so this
merely brings sendmsg() in line with that.

b225b884a1 SCTP: IPv4 mapped addr not returned in SCTPv6 accept()
An accept() call on a SCTPv6 socket that returns due to connection of
a IPv4 mapped peer will fill out the 'struct sockaddr' with a zero
IPv6 address instead of the IPv4 mapped address of the peer.

This is due to the v4mapped flag not getting copied into the new
socket on accept() as well as a missing check for INET6 socket type in
sctp_v4_to_sk_*addr().

61a44b9c4b [NET]: ethtool ops are the only way
During the transition to the ethtool_ops way of doing things, we supported
calling the device's ->do_ioctl method to allow unconverted drivers to
continue working.  Those days are long behind us, all in-tree drivers
use the ethtool_ops way, and so we no longer need to support this.

The bonding driver is the biggest beneficiary of this; it no longer
needs to call ioctl() as a fallback if ethtool_ops aren't supported.

Also put a proper copyright statement on ethtool.c.

196b003620 [IPSEC]: Ensure that state inner family is set
Similar to the issue we had with template families which
specified the inner families of policies, we need to set
the inner families of states as the main xfrm user Openswan
leaves it as zero.

af_key is unaffected because the inner family is set by it
and not the KM.

b8ed601cef [TCP]: Bidir flow must not disregard SACK blocks for lost marking
It's possible that new SACK blocks that should trigger new LOST
markings arrive with new data (which previously made is_dupack
false). In addition, I think this fixes a case where we get
a cumulative ACK with enough SACK blocks to trigger the fast
recovery (is_dupack would be false there too).

I'm not completely pleased with this solution because readability
of the code is somewhat questionable as 'is_dupack' in SACK case
is no longer about dupacks only but would mean something like
'lost_marker_work_todo' too... But because of Eifel stuff done
in CA_Recovery, the FLAG_DATA_SACKED check cannot be placed to
the if statement which seems attractive solution. Nevertheless,
I didn't like adding another variable just for that either... :-)

1e757f9996 [TCP]: Fix ratehalving with bidirectional flows
Actually, the ratehalving seems to work too well, as cwnd is
reduced on every second ACK even though the packets in flight
remains unchanged. Recoveries in a bidirectional flows suffer
quite badly because of this, both NewReno and SACK are affected.

After this patch, rate halving is performed for ACK only if
packets in flight was supposedly changed too.
