UDP_HTABLE_SIZE was initialy defined to 128, which is a bit small for
several setups.4000 active UDP sockets -> 32 sockets per chain in average. An
incoming frame has to lookup all sockets to find best match, so long
chains hurt latency.Instead of a fixed size hash table that cant be perfect for every
needs, let UDP stack choose its table size at boot time like tcp/ip
route, using alloc_large_system_hash() helperAdd an optional boot parameter, uhash_entries=x so that an admin can
force a size between 256 and 65536 if needed, like thash_entries and
rhash_entries.dmesg logs two new lines :
[ 0.647039] UDP hash table entries: 512 (order: 0, 4096 bytes)
[ 0.647099] UDP Lite hash table entries: 512 (order: 0, 4096 bytes)Maximal size on 64bit arches would be 65536 slots, ie 1 MBytes for non
debugging spinlocks.Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet

Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: new sysctl for sending TLLAO with unicast NAsNeighbor advertisements responding to unicast neighbor solicitations
did not include the target link-layer address option. This patch adds
a new sysctl option (disabled by default) which controls whether this
option should be sent even with unicast NAs.The need for this arose because certain routers expect the TLLAO in
some situations even as a response to unicast NS packets.Moreover, RFC 2461 recommends sending this to avoid a race condition

In some cases there is not desirable to switch back to primary interface when
it's link recovers and rather stay with currently active one. We need to avoid
packetloss as much as we can in some cases. This is solved by introducing
primary_reselect option. Note that enslaved primary slave is set as current
active no matter what.Patch modified by Jay Vosburgh as follows: fixed bug in action
after change of option setting via sysfs, revised the documentation
update, and bumped the bonding version number.Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko

It is not currently possible to instruct pktgen to use one selected tx queue.
When Robert added multiqueue support in commit 45b270f8, he added
an interval (queue_map_min, queue_map_max), and his code doesnt take
into account the case of min = max, to select one tx queue exactly.I suspect a high performance setup on a eight txqueue device wants
to use exactly eight cpus, and assign one tx queue to each sender.This patchs makes pktgen select the right tx queue, not the first one.
Also updates Documentation to reflect Robert changes.

There is no point in implementing a detect callback for the LTC4215
and LTC4245, as these devices can't be detected. It was there solely
to handle "force" module parameters to instantiate devices, but now
we have a better sysfs interface that can do the same.So we can get rid of the ugly module parameters and the detect
callbacks. This shrinks the binary module sizes by 36% and 46%,
respectively.Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare

The /proc/fs/ext4//mb_history was maintained manually, and had a
number of problems: it required a largish amount of memory to be
allocated for each ext4 filesystem, and the s_mb_history_lock
introduced a CPU contention problem.By ripping out the mb_history code and replacing it with ftrace
tracepoints, and we get more functionality: timestamps, event
filtering, the ability to correlate mballoc history with other ext4
tracepoints, etc.Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o"

Introduce core pipe limiting sysctl.
Since we can dump cores to pipe, rather than directly to the filesystem,
we create a condition in which a user can create a very high load on the
system simply by running bad applications.If the pipe reader specified in core_pattern is poorly written, we can
have lots of ourstandig resources and processes in the system.This sysctl introduces an ability to limit that resource consumption.
core_pipe_limit defines how many in-flight dumps may be run in parallel,
dumps beyond this value are skipped and a note is made in the kernel log.
A special value of 0 in core_pipe_limit denotes unlimited core dumps may
be handled (this is the default value).[akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes]

Soft limits is a new feature for the memory resource controller, something
similar has existed in the group scheduler in the form of shares. The CPU
controllers interpretation of shares is very different though.Soft limits are the most useful feature to have for environments where the
administrator wants to overcommit the system, such that only on memory
contention do the limits become active. The current soft limits
implementation provides a soft_limit_in_bytes interface for the memory
controller and not for memory+swap controller. The implementation
maintains an RB-Tree of groups that exceed their soft limit and starts
reclaiming from the group that exceeds this limit by the maximum amount.This patch:
