OK, here is the net-2.6 based one then, thanks !

[PATCH v2] net: rfs: enable RFS before first data packet is received

First packet received on a passive tcp flow is not correctly RFS
steered.

One sock_rps_record_flow() call is missing in inet_accept()

But before that, we also must record rxhash when child socket is setup.

netfilter: fix looped (broad|multi)cast's MAC handling

2011-06-16T15:27:04+00:00

By default, when broadcast or multicast packet are sent from a local
application, they are sent to the interface then looped by the kernel
to other local applications, going throught netfilter hooks in the
process.

These looped packet have their MAC header removed from the skb by the
kernel looping code. This confuse various netfilter's netlink queue,
netlink log and the legacy ip_queue, because they try to extract a
hardware address from these packets, but extracts a part of the IP
header instead.

This patch prevent NFQUEUE, NFLOG and ip_QUEUE to include a MAC header
if there is none in the packet.

net/ipv6: check for mistakenly passed in non-AF_INET6 sockaddrs

2011-06-06T21:48:16+00:00

Same check as for IPv4, also do for IPv6.

(If you passed in a IPv4 sockaddr_in here, the sizeof check
 in the line before would have triggered already though.)

netfilter: use unsigned variables for packet lengths in ip[6]_queue.

2011-06-05T23:37:16+00:00

Netlink message lengths can't be negative, so use unsigned variables.

netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix ct refcount leak in l4proto->error()

2011-06-05T23:37:02+00:00

This patch fixes a refcount leak of ct objects that may occur if
l4proto->error() assigns one conntrack object to one skbuff. In
that case, we have to skip further processing in nf_conntrack_in().

With this patch, we can also fix wrong return values (-NF_ACCEPT)
for special cases in ICMP[v6] that should not bump the invalid/error
statistic counters.

netfilter: add more values to enum ip_conntrack_info

2011-06-05T23:35:10+00:00

Following error is raised (and other similar ones) :

net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_nat_standalone.c:119:2: warning: case value ‘4’

gcc barfs on adding two enum values and getting a not enumerated
result :

case IP_CT_RELATED+IP_CT_IS_REPLY:

net: convert %p usage to %pK

2011-05-24T05:13:12+00:00

The %pK format specifier is designed to hide exposed kernel pointers,
specifically via /proc interfaces.  Exposing these pointers provides an
easy target for kernel write vulnerabilities, since they reveal the
locations of writable structures containing easily triggerable function
pointers.  The behavior of %pK depends on the kptr_restrict sysctl.

If kptr_restrict is set to 0, no deviation from the standard %p behavior
occurs.  If kptr_restrict is set to 1, the default, if the current user
(intended to be a reader via seq_printf(), etc.) does not have CAP_SYSLOG
(currently in the LSM tree), kernel pointers using %pK are printed as 0's.
 If kptr_restrict is set to 2, kernel pointers using %pK are printed as
0's regardless of privileges.  Replacing with 0's was chosen over the
default "(null)", which cannot be parsed by userland %p, which expects
"(nil)".

The supporting code for kptr_restrict and %pK are currently in the -mm
tree.  This patch converts users of %p in net/ to %pK.  Cases of printing
pointers to the syslog are not covered, since this would eliminate useful
information for postmortem debugging and the reading of the syslog is
already optionally protected by the dmesg_restrict sysctl.

ipv6: copy prefsrc setting when copying route entry

commit c3968a857a6b6c3d2ef4ead35776b055fb664d74
('ipv6: RTA_PREFSRC support for ipv6 route source address selection')
added support for ipv6 prefsrc as an alternative to ipv6 addrlabels,
but it did not work because the prefsrc entry was not copied.
