tcp: allow effective reduction of TCP's rcv-buffer via setsockopt
Via setsockopt it is possible to reduce the socket RX buffer
(SO_RCVBUF). TCP method to select the initial window and window scaling
option in tcp_select_initial_window() currently misbehaves and do not
consider a reduced RX socket buffer via setsockopt.
Even though the server's RX buffer is reduced via setsockopt() to 256
byte (Initial Window 384 byte => 256 * 2 - (256 * 2 / 4)) the window
scale option is still 7:
Within tcp_select_initial_window() the original space argument - a
representation of the rx buffer size - is expanded during
tcp_select_initial_window(). Only sysctl_tcp_rmem[2], sysctl_rmem_max
and window_clamp are considered to calculate the initial window.
This patch adjust the window_clamp argument if the user explicitly
reduce the receive buffer.

it contains plugin for pppd to use pptp in client-mode and modified
pptpd (poptop) to build high-performance pptp NAS.

1. using rcu instead of read-write locks
2. using static bitmap instead of dynamically allocated

ehea: Fix synchronization between HW and SW send queue
When memory is added to / removed from a partition via the Memory DLPAR
mechanism, the eHEA driver has to do a couple of things to reflect the
memory change in its own IO address translation tables. This involves
stopping and restarting the HW queues.
During this operation, it is possible that HW and SW pointer into these

are attached to a send queue are not transmitted immediately, but
delayed until further X packets have been put on the queue.
This patch detects such loss of synchronization, and resets the ehea
port when needed.

bnx2x: Fix PHY locking problem
PHY locking is required between two ports for some external PHYs. Since
initialization was done in the common init function (called only on the
first port initialization) rather than in the port init function, there
was in fact no PHY locking between the ports.

net/compat/wext: send different messages to compat tasks
we had a race condition when setting and then
restoring frag_list. Eric attempted to fix it,
but the fix created even worse problems.
However, the original motivation I had when I
added the code that turned out to be racy is
no longer clear to me, since we only copy up
to skb->len to userspace, which doesn't include
the frag_list length. As a result, not doing
any frag_list clearing and restoring avoids
the race condition, while not introducing any
other problems.
Additionally, while preparing this patch I found
that since none of the remaining netlink code is
really aware of the frag_list, we need to use the
original skb's information for packet information
and credentials. This fixes, for example, the
group information received by compat tasks.

drivers/net/qlcnic: Use available error codes
The error code is stored in the variable err, but it is the variable ret
that is returned instead. So store the error code in ret. Err is then
useless.
The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:

If PCMCIA is still being looked after, then here's
another for you, maybe for 2.6.37.
Use the more descriptive logging message styles.
There are whitespace/indentation errors in the original
sources that these changes do not modify, so checkpatch
errors were cheerfully ignored.
