This is an implementation of David Miller's suggested fix in:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=470201
It has been updated to use wait_event() instead of
wait_event_interruptible().
Paraphrasing the description from the above report, it makes sendmsg()
block while UNIX garbage collection is in progress. This avoids a
situation where child processes continue to queue new FDs over a
AF_UNIX socket to a parent which is in the exit path and running
garbage collection on these FDs. This contention can result in soft
lockups and oom-killing of unrelated processes.

Since changeset e79ad711a0 from mainline,
>From David S. Miller,
empty packet can be transmitted on connected socket for datagram protocols.
However, this patch broke a high level application using ROSE network protocol with connected datagram.
Bulletin Board Stations perform bulletins forwarding between BBS stations via ROSE network using a forward protocol.
Now, if for some reason, a buffer in the application software happens to be empty at a specific moment,
ROSE sends an empty packet via unfiltered packet socket.
When received, this ROSE packet introduces perturbations of data exchange of BBS forwarding,
for the application message forwarding protocol is waiting for something else.
We agree that a more careful programming of the application protocol would avoid this situation and we are
willing to debug it.
But, as an empty frame is no use and does not have any meaning for ROSE protocol,
we may consider filtering zero length data both when sending and receiving socket data.
The proposed patch repaired BBS data exchange through ROSE network that were broken since 2.6.22.11 kernel.

As GRE tries to call the update_pmtu function on skb->dst and

other fields blank but we can fill them in later should the

Conntrack creation through ctnetlink has two races:
- the timer may expire and free the conntrack concurrently, causing an
invalid memory access when attempting to put it in the hash tables
- an identical conntrack entry may be created in the packet processing
path in the time between the lookup and hash insertion
Hold the conntrack lock between the lookup and insertion to avoid this.

This patch fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12014
Since most (if not all) implementations of TSO and even the in-kernel
software GSO do not update the urgent pointer when splitting a large
segment, it is necessary to turn off TSO/GSO for all outgoing traffic
with the URG pointer set.
Looking at tcp_current_mss (and the preceding comment) I even think
this was the original intention. However, this approach is insufficient,
because TSO/GSO is turned off only for newly created frames, not for
frames which were already pending at the arrival of a message with
MSG_OOB set. These frames were created when TSO/GSO was enabled,
so they may be large, and they will have the urgent pointer set
in tcp_transmit_skb().
With this patch, such large packets will be fragmented again before
going to the transmit routine.
As a side note, at least the following NICs are known to screw up
the urgent pointer in the TCP header when doing TSO:
Intel 82566MM (PCI ID 8086:1049)
Intel 82566DC (PCI ID 8086:104b)
Intel 82541GI (PCI ID 8086:1076)

Fix a regression reported by Max Kellermann whereby kernel profiling
showed that his clients were spending 45% of their time in
rpcauth_lookup_credcache.
It turns out that although his processes had identical uid/gid/groups,
generic_match() was failing to detect this, because the task->group_info
pointers were not shared. This again lead to the creation of a huge number
of identical credentials at the RPC layer.
The regression is fixed by comparing the contents of task->group_info
if the actual pointers are not identical.

Introduce a new accept4() system call. The addition of this system call
matches analogous changes in 2.6.27 (dup3(), evenfd2(), signalfd4(),
inotify_init1(), epoll_create1(), pipe2()) which added new system calls
that differed from analogous traditional system calls in adding a flags
argument that can be used to access additional functionality.
The accept4() system call is exactly the same as accept(), except that
it adds a flags bit-mask argument. Two flags are initially implemented.
(Most of the new system calls in 2.6.27 also had both of these flags.)
SOCK_CLOEXEC causes the close-on-exec (FD_CLOEXEC) flag to be enabled
for the new file descriptor returned by accept4(). This is a useful
security feature to avoid leaking information in a multithreaded
program where one thread is doing an accept() at the same time as
another thread is doing a fork() plus exec(). More details here:
http://udrepper.livejournal.com/20407.html "Secure File Descriptor Handling",
Ulrich Drepper).
The other flag is SOCK_NONBLOCK, which causes the O_NONBLOCK flag
to be enabled on the new open file description created by accept4().
(This flag is merely a convenience, saving the use of additional calls
fcntl(F_GETFL) and fcntl (F_SETFL) to achieve the same result.
Here's a test program. Works on x86-32. Should work on x86-64, but
I (mtk) don't have a system to hand to test with.
It tests accept4() with each of the four possible combinations of
SOCK_CLOEXEC and SOCK_NONBLOCK set/clear in 'flags', and verifies
that the appropriate flags are set on the file descriptor/open file
description returned by accept4().
I tested Ulrich's patch in this thread by applying against 2.6.28-rc2,
and it passes according to my test program.

Similarly to IPv6 ip6_mr_init() (fixed last week), the order of cleanup
operations in the error/exit section of ip_mr_init() is completely
inversed. It should be the other way around.
Also a del_timer() is missing in the error path.
I should have guessed last week that this same error existed in ipmr.c
too, as ip6mr.c is largely inspired by ipmr.c.
