A security issue is emerging.  Disallow Routing Header Type 0 by default
as we have been doing for IPv4.
Note: We allow RH2 by default because it is harmless.

We broke the the alignment of members of taskstats to the 8 byte boundary
with the CSA patches.  In the current kernel, the taskstats structure is
not suitable for use by 32 bit applications in a 64 bit kernel.

This is one way to solve the problem without re-arranging structure members

the taskstats structure members so that 32 bit applications using taskstats
can work with a 64 bit kernel.

Using __attribute__((packed)) would break the 64 bit alignment of members.

The fix was tested on x86_64. After the fix, we got

Otherwise the following calltrace will lead to a wrong
lockdep warning:

  neigh_proxy_process()
    `- lock(neigh_table-&gt;proxy_queue.lock);
  arp_redo /* via tbl-&gt;proxy_redo */
  arp_process
  neigh_event_ns
  neigh_update
  skb_queue_purge
    `- lock(neighbor-&gt;arp_queue.lock);

This is not a deadlock actually, as neighbor table's proxy_queue
and the neighbor's arp_queue are different queues.

Lockdep thinks there is a deadlock as both queues are initialized
with skb_queue_head_init() and thus have a common class.

Since this was added originally for Xen, and Xen has recently (~2.6.18)
stopped using this function, we can safely get rid of it.  Good timing
too since this function has started to bit rot.

<title>NFS: Ensure PG_writeback is cleared when writeback fails</title>

If the writebacks are cancelled via nfs_cancel_dirty_list, or due to the
memory allocation failing in nfs_flush_one/nfs_flush_multi, then we must
ensure that the PG_writeback flag is cleared.

Also ensure that we actually own the PG_writeback flag whenever we
schedule a new writeback by making nfs_set_page_writeback() return the
value of test_set_page_writeback().
The PG_writeback page flag ends up replacing the functionality of the
PG_FLUSHING nfs_page flag, so we rip that out too.
