Significant things of note:
1) All of Arnaldo's DCCP ipv6 support stuff is in there.
2) I pushed the TCP CUBIC stuff into a new congestion control
module named net/ipv4/tcp_cubic.c and left the existing
BIC algorithm intact in net/ipv4/tcp_bic.c and this is
still the default.
3) There is a set of IPV6 addrconf cleanups in there I've
been working on in preparation for adding RCU locking to
the IPV6 device struct handling, akin to what's in ipv4.
The major stumbling block for using RCU here is that device
address changes occur in asynchronous contexts, and a clean
locking implementation really needs all of this stuff to
run under the RTNL semaphore. I intend to solve this using
a addrconf workqueue.
I have some SCTP updated I need to add to this tree as well,
and I hope to get to that on Monday.
There are some regressions, found by -mm series testers, that
Andrew has been forwarding to us here. I hope we can snuff
out all of those problems soon.
