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.

Dave, you were right and the sleeping locks in shaper were
broken. Markus Kanet noticed this and also tested the patch below that
switches locking to spinlocks.

Adds qdisc_alloc() to share code between qdisc_create()
and qdisc_create_dflt(). Hides the qdisc alignment behind
macros and makes use of them.

Reduce local_df to a bit field and ip_summed to a 2 bits
field thus saving 13 bits. Move bit fields, packet type,
and protocol into the spare area between the priority
and the destructor. Saves 4 bytes on both, 32bit and
64bit architectures.

This is the code to load packet data into a register:
k = fentry->k;
if (k < 0) {
...
} else {
u32 _tmp, *p;
p = skb_header_pointer(skb, k, 4, &_tmp);
if (p != NULL) {
A = ntohl(*p);
continue;
}
}
skb_header_pointer checks if the requested data is within the
linear area:
int hlen = skb_headlen(skb);
if (offset + len <= hlen)
return skb->data + offset;
When offset is within [INT_MAX-len+1..INT_MAX] the addition will
result in a negative number which is <= hlen.
I couldn't trigger a crash on my AMD64 with 2GB of memory, but a
coworker tried on his x86 machine and it crashed immediately.
This patch fixes the check in skb_header_pointer to handle large
positive offsets similar to skb_copy_bits. Invalid data can still
be accessed using negative offsets (also similar to skb_copy_bits),
anyone using negative offsets needs to verify them himself.
Thanks to Thomas Vögtle <thomas.voegtle@coreworks.de> for verifying the
problem by crashing his machine and providing me with an Oops.

Rob Punkunus recently submitted a patch to enable support for MCP51/MCP55 in
the amd74xx driver. This patch was whitespace-corrupted and didn't apply to
2.6.12 since MCP51 support was merged in the 2.6.12-rc series.
Gentoo would like to support this hardware for our upcoming release media, so
I fixed the patch, and here it is :)
