Because of the silly way I set up the initial stack for
new kernel threads, there is a loop at the top of the
stack.
To fix this, properly add another stack frame that is copied
from the parent and terminate it in the child by setting
the frame pointer in that frame to zero.

Unless there will be any objection here, I suggest consider the
following patch which simply removes the code for the
-DI_WISH_WORLD_WERE_PERFECT in the three methods which use it.
The compilation errors we get when using -DI_WISH_WORLD_WERE_PERFECT
show that this code was not built and not used for really a long time.

If previous window was above representable values of u16,
strange things will happen if undo with the truncated value
is called for. Alternatively, this could be fixed by some
max trickery but that would limit undoing high-speed undos.

Here the local hexbuf is a duplicate of global const char hex_asc from
lib/hexdump.c, except the hex letters' cases:
const char hexbuf[] = "0123456789ABCDEF";
const char hex_asc[] = "0123456789abcdef";
and here to print HW addresses, the hex cases are not significant.
Thanks to Harvey Harrison to introduce the hex_asc_hi/hex_asc_lo helpers.

According to David Monro, at least with Natsemi Saturn chips the
cassini driver has some trouble with ipv6 checksums.
Until we have more information about what's going on here, only
use the chip checksums for ipv4.
This workaround was suggested and tested by David.

We are seeing an issue with TCP in handling an ICMP frag needed
message that is received after net.ipv4.tcp_retries1 retransmits.
The default value of retries1 is 3. So if the path mtu changes
and ICMP frag needed is lost for the first 3 retransmits or if
it gets delayed until 3 retransmits are done, TCP doesn't update
MSS correctly and continues to retransmit the orginal message
until it timesout after tcp_retries2 retransmits.
I am seeing this issue even with the latest 2.6.25.4 kernel.
In tcp_retransmit_timer(), when retransmits counter exceeds
tcp_retries1 value, the dst cache entry of the socket is reset.
At this time, if we receive an ICMP frag needed message, the
dst entry gets updated with the new MTU, but the TCP sockets
dst_cache entry remains NULL.
So the next time when we try to retransmit after the ICMP frag
needed is received, tcp_retransmit_skb() gets called. Here the
cur_mss value is calculated at the start of the routine with
a NULL sk_dst_cache. Instead we should call tcp_current_mss after
the rebuild_header that caches the dst entry with the updated mtu.
Also the rebuild_header should be called before tcp_fragment
so that skb is fragmented if the mss goes down.

This patch ensures that TIPC's topology service and configuration
service are shut down before switching into "network mode". This
ensures that TIPC does not mistakenly try to send unnecessary
"publication withdraw" messages to other nodes before it is fully
initialized for sending off-node messages. Note that the node's
current network address is now updated only after the two services
are shut down; this ensures that any existing connections to the
topology server are terminated correctly using the old address.

This patch prevents a TIPC configuration command requiring network
administrator privileges from triggering an skbuff underrun if it
is issued by a process lacking those privileges. The revised error
handling code avoids the use of a potentially uninitialized global
variable by transforming the unauthorized command into a new command,
then following the standard command processing path to generate the
required error message.

These devices use the private area of appropriate size for
statistics. Turning them to use on-device ones make them
"privless" and thus - really small wrt kmalloc cache, they
are allocated from.
Besides, code looks nicer, because of absence of multi-braced
type casts and dereferences.
