Nominally an autoconfigured IPv6 address is added to an interface in the
Tentative state (as per RFC 2462). Addresses in this state remain in this
state while the Duplicate Address Detection process operates on them to
determine their uniqueness on the network. During this period, these
tentative addresses may not be used for communication, increasing the time
before a node may be able to communicate on a network. Using Optimistic
Duplicate Address Detection, autoconfigured addresses may be used
immediately for communication on the network, as long as certain rules are
followed to avoid conflicts with other nodes during the Duplicate Address
Detection process.

We currently use a special structure (struct skb_timeval) and plain
'struct timeval' to store packet timestamps in sk_buffs and struct
sock.
This has some drawbacks :
- Fixed resolution of micro second.
- Waste of space on 64bit platforms where sizeof(struct timeval)=16
I suggest using ktime_t that is a nice abstraction of high resolution
time services, currently capable of nanosecond resolution.
As sizeof(ktime_t) is 8 bytes, using ktime_t in 'struct sock' permits
a 8 byte shrink of this structure on 64bit architectures. Some other
structures also benefit from this size reduction (struct ipq in
ipv4/ip_fragment.c, struct frag_queue in ipv6/reassembly.c, ...)
Once this ktime infrastructure adopted, we can more easily provide
nanosecond resolution on top of it. (ioctl SIOCGSTAMPNS and/or
SO_TIMESTAMPNS/SCM_TIMESTAMPNS)
Note : this patch includes a bug correction in
compat_sock_get_timestamp() where a "err = 0;" was missing (so this
syscall returned -ENOENT instead of 0)

New sysctl tcp_frto_response is added to select amongst these
responses:
- Rate halving based; reuses CA_CWR state (default)
- Very conservative; used to be the only one available (=1)
- Undo cwr; undoes ssthresh and cwnd reductions (=2)
The response with rate halving requires a new parameter to
tcp_enter_cwr because FRTO has already reduced ssthresh and
doing a second reduction there has to be prevented. In addition,
to keep things nice on 80 cols screen, a local variable was

If the writebacks are cancelled via nfs_cancel_dirty_list, or due to the

Also ensure that we actually own the PG_writeback flag whenever we
schedule a new writeback by making nfs_set_page_writeback() return the
value of test_set_page_writeback().
The PG_writeback page flag ends up replacing the functionality of the

It is possible for the timer expiry function to run even though the
request has already been handled: ide_timer_expiry() only checks that
the handler is not NULL, but it is possible that we have handled a
request (thus clearing the handler) and then started a new request
(thus starting the timer again, and setting a handler).
A simple way to exhibit this is to set the DMA timeout to 1 jiffy and
run dd: The kernel will panic after a few minutes because
ide_timer_expiry() tries to add a timer when it's already active.
To fix this, we simply add a request generation count that gets
incremented at every interrupt, and check in ide_timer_expiry() that
we have not already handled a new interrupt before running the expiry
function.

IDE error recovery is using IDLE IMMEDIATE if the drive is busy or has DRQ set.
This violates the ATA spec (can only send IDLEÂ IMMEDIATE when drive is not

not violate the ATA spec as far as I can tell.
Bart:
* port the patch over the current tree
* undo the recalibration code removal
* send SET FEATURES command after checking for good drive status
* don't check whether the current request is of REQ_TYPE_ATA_{CMD,TASK}

able to prevent a segfault, but was never getting set. By waiting to
destroy the workqueue until after the master is unregistered, devices are

Because we do not reserve space for the pci-x and pci-e state in struct
pci dev we need to dynamically allocate it. However because we need
to support restore being called multiple times after a single save
it is never safe to free the buffers we have allocated to hold the
state.
So this patch modifies the save routines to first check to see
if we have already allocated a state buffer before allocating
a new one. Then the restore routines are modified to not free
the state after restoring it. Simple and it fixes some subtle
error path handling bugs, that are hard to test for.

There are two ways pci_save_state and pci_restore_state are used. As
helper functions during suspend/resume, and as helper functions around
a hardware reset event. When used as helper functions around a hardware
reset event there is no reason to believe the calls will be paired, nor
is there a good reason to believe that if we restore the msi state from
before the reset that it will match the current msi state. Since arch
code may change the msi message without going through the driver, drivers
currently do not have enough information to even know when to call
pci_save_state to ensure they will have msi state in sync with the other
kernel irq reception data structures.
It turns out the solution is straight forward, cache the state in the
existing msi data structures (not the magic pci saved things) and
have the msi code update the cached state each time we write to the hardware.
This means we never need to read the hardware to figure out what the hardware
state should be.
By modifying the caching in this manner we get to remove our save_state
routines and only need to provide restore_state routines.
The only fields that were at all tricky to regenerate were the msi and msi-x
control registers and the way we regenerate them currently is a bit dependent
upon assumptions on how we use the allow msi registers to be configured and used
making the code a little bit brittle. If we ever change what cases we allow
or how we configure the msi bits we can address the fragility then.
