The ideal and most optimal layout for an SKB when doing
scatter-gather is to put all the headers at skb->data, and
all the user data in the page array.
This makes SKB splitting and combining extremely simple,
especially before a packet goes onto the wire the first
time.
So, when sk_stream_alloc_pskb() is given a zero size, make
sure there is no skb_tailroom(). This is achieved by applying
SKB_DATA_ALIGN() to the header length used here.
Next, make select_size() in TCP output segmentation use a
length of zero when NETIF_F_SG is true on the outgoing
interface.

- rt_check_expire() fixes (an overflow occured if size of the hash
was >= 65536)
reminder of the bugfix:
The rt_check_expire() has a serious problem on machines with large
route caches, and a standard HZ value of 1000.
With default values, ie ip_rt_gc_interval = 60*HZ = 60000 ;
the loop count :
for (t = ip_rt_gc_interval << rt_hash_log; t >= 0;
overflows (t is a 31 bit value) as soon rt_hash_log is >= 16 (65536
slots in route cache hash table).
In this case, rt_check_expire() does nothing at all

In 2.6.12 we started dropping the conntrack reference when a packet
leaves the IP layer. This broke connection tracking on a bridge,
because bridge-netfilter defers calling some NF_IP_* hooks to the bridge
layer for locally generated packets going out a bridge, where the
conntrack reference is no longer available. This patch keeps the
reference in this case as a temporary solution, long term we will
remove the defered hook calling. No attempt is made to drop the
reference in the bridge-code when it is no longer needed, tc actions
could already have sent the packet anywhere.

In an smp system, it is possible for an connection timer to expire, calling
ip_vs_conn_expire while the connection table is being flushed, before
ct_write_lock_bh is acquired.
Since the list iterator loop in ip_vs_con_flush releases and re-acquires the
spinlock (even though it doesn't re-enable softirqs), it is possible for the
expiration function to modify the connection list, while it is being traversed
in ip_vs_conn_flush.
The result is that the next pointer gets set to NULL, and subsequently
dereferenced, resulting in an oops.

I think there is a small bug in ipconfig.c in case IPCONFIG_DHCP is set
and dhcp is used.
When a DHCPOFFER is received, ip address is kept until we get DHCPACK.
If no ack is received, ic_dynamic() returns negatively, but leaves the
offered ip address in ic_myaddr.
This makes the main loop in ip_auto_config() break and uses the maybe
incomplete configuration.

I followed Thomas' proposal to see every martian destination as a case
where the ipInAddrErrors counter has to be incremented. There are
two advantages by doing so: (1) The relation between the ipInReceive

case the RTN_UNICAST code check fails and (2) it makes the code in
ip_route_input_slow easier.

1) netlink_release() should only decrement the hash entry
count if the socket was actually hashed.
This was causing hash->entries to underflow, which
resulting in all kinds of troubles.
On 64-bit systems, this would cause the following
conditional to erroneously trigger:
err = -ENOMEM;
if (BITS_PER_LONG > 32 && unlikely(hash->entries >= UINT_MAX))
goto err;
2) netlink_autobind() needs to propagate the error return from
netlink_insert(). Otherwise, callers will not see the error
as they should and thus try to operate on a socket with a zero pid,
which is very bad.
However, it should not propagate -EBUSY. If two threads race
to autobind the socket, that is fine. This is consistent with the
autobind behavior in other protocols.
So bug #1 above, combined with this one, resulted in hangs
on netlink_sendmsg() calls to the rtnetlink socket. We'd try
to do the user sendmsg() with the socket's pid set to zero,
later we do a socket lookup using that pid (via the value we
stashed away in NETLINK_CB(skb).pid), but that won't give us the
user socket, it will give us the rtnetlink socket. So when we
try to wake up the receive queue, we dive back into rtnetlink_rcv()
which tries to recursively take the rtnetlink semaphore.
Thanks to Jakub Jelink for providing backtraces. Also, thanks to
Herbert Xu for supplying debugging patches to help track this down,
and also finding a mistake in an earlier version of this fix.

3. Fix numerous locations where try_to_freeze is manually done by a driver
4. Remove the argument that is no longer necessary from two function calls.
