a58dd398f5 [PATCH] RPC: add a release_rqst callout to the RPC transport switch
The final place where congestion control state is adjusted is in
 xprt_release, where each request is finally released.  Add a callout
 there to allow transports to perform additional processing when a
 request is about to be released.

49e9a89086 [PATCH] RPC: expose API for serializing access to RPC transports
The next method we abstract is the one that releases a transport,
 allowing another task to have access to the transport.

 Again, one generic version of this is provided for transports that
 don't need the RPC client to perform congestion control, and one
 version is for transports that can use the original Van Jacobson
 implementation in xprt.c.

12a804698b [PATCH] RPC: expose API for serializing access to RPC transports
The next several patches introduce an API that allows transports to
 choose whether the RPC client provides congestion control or whether
 the transport itself provides it.

 The first method we abstract is the one that serializes access to the
 RPC transport to prevent the bytes from different requests from mingling
 together.  This method provides proper request serialization and the
 opportunity to prevent new requests from being started because the
 transport is congested.

 The normal situation is for the transport to handle congestion control
 itself.  Although NFS over UDP was first, it has been recognized after
 years of experience that having the transport provide congestion control
 is much better than doing it in the RPC client.  Thus TCP, and probably
 every future transport implementation, will use the default method,
 xprt_lock_write, provided in xprt.c, which does not provide any kind
 of congestion control.  UDP can continue using the xprt.c-provided
 Van Jacobson congestion avoidance implementation.

 Test-plan:
 Use WAN simulation to cause sporadic bursty packet loss.  Look for significant
 regression in performance or client stability.

fe3aca290f [PATCH] RPC: add API to set transport-specific timeouts
Prepare the way to remove the "xprt->nocong" variable by adding a callout
 to the RPC client transport switch API to handle setting RPC retransmit
 timeouts.

 Add a pair of generic helper functions that provide the ability to set a
 simple fixed timeout, or to set a timeout based on the state of a round-
 trip estimator.

1dfbab5949 [NETFILTER] Fix conntrack event cache deadlock/oops
This patch fixes a number of bugs.  It cannot be reasonably split up in
multiple fixes, since all bugs interact with each other and affect the same
function:

Bug #1:
The event cache code cannot be called while a lock is held.  Therefore, the
call to ip_conntrack_event_cache() within ip_ct_refresh_acct() needs to be
moved outside of the locked section.  This fixes a number of 2.6.14-rcX
oops and deadlock reports.

Bug #2:
We used to call ct_add_counters() for unconfirmed connections without
holding a lock.  Since the add operations are not atomic, we could race
with another CPU.

Bug #3:
ip_ct_refresh_acct() lost REFRESH events in some cases where refresh
(and the corresponding event) are desired, but no accounting shall be
performed.  Both, evenst and accounting implicitly depended on the skb
parameter bein non-null.   We now re-introduce a non-accounting
"ip_ct_refresh()" variant to explicitly state the desired behaviour.

2f4516dbd0 [PATCH] fbcon: constify font data
const-ify the font control structures and data, to make somewhat better
guarantees that these are not modified anywhere in the kernel.
Specifically for a kernel debugger to share this information from the
normal kernel code, such a guarantee seems rather desirable.

9db455064d [PATCH] v4l: experimental Sliced VBI API support
Adds all defines, ioctls and structs needed for the sliced VBI API

VBI = Vertical Blank Interval.

It is related with the way TV signals work.  It sends a line, then, it has a
retrace time to allow the tube to move electrons to the beginning of the next
line.  This was the main reason at the beginning of analog B&W TV.

There is a lot of bandwidth lost on VBI.  So, lots of TV systems use it to
send other information such as Closed Captions and Teletext.  Also,
broadcasters uses this as a channel to exchange information from the content
producer to their subsidiaries at each city.

There's already a raw VBI interface on V4L2 api, used for Closed Captions and
Teletext.  The decoding is doing at userlevel space and it is mostly for
analog TV signals, non encoded.

Encoded signals (MPEG, for example), may need also to transmit other
information (like, for example, display aspect, i.e.  4x3, widescreen...).
Sliced VBI interface is a method to allow the video stream to transmit this
kind of information.

f2327d9adb [PATCH] nfsd4: move replay_owner
It seems more natural to move the setting of the replay_owner into the
relevant procedure instead of doing it in nfsv4_proc_compound.
