The ideal and most optimal layout for an SKB when doing
scatter-gather is to put all the headers at skb->data, and
all the user data in the page array.

This makes SKB splitting and combining extremely simple,
especially before a packet goes onto the wire the first
time.

So, when sk_stream_alloc_pskb() is given a zero size, make
sure there is no skb_tailroom().  This is achieved by applying
SKB_DATA_ALIGN() to the header length used here.

Next, make select_size() in TCP output segmentation use a
length of zero when NETIF_F_SG is true on the outgoing
interface.

- rt_check_expire() fixes (an overflow occured if size of the hash
  was >= 65536)

reminder of the bugfix:

The rt_check_expire() has a serious problem on machines with large
route caches, and a standard HZ value of 1000.

With default values, ie ip_rt_gc_interval = 60*HZ = 60000 ;

the loop count :

     for (t = ip_rt_gc_interval << rt_hash_log; t >= 0;


overflows (t is a 31 bit value) as soon rt_hash_log is >= 16  (65536
slots in route cache hash table).

In this case, rt_check_expire() does nothing at all

Current behaviour is to not report an error if a rate
estimator is created together with a qdisc and the

New behaviour is to report the error and let the whole

This is the code to load packet data into a register:

                        k = fentry->k;
                        if (k < 0) {
...
                        } else {
                                u32 _tmp, *p;
                                p = skb_header_pointer(skb, k, 4, &_tmp);
                                if (p != NULL) {
                                        A = ntohl(*p);
                                        continue;
                                }
                        }

skb_header_pointer checks if the requested data is within the
linear area:

        int hlen = skb_headlen(skb);

        if (offset + len <= hlen)
                return skb->data + offset;

When offset is within [INT_MAX-len+1..INT_MAX] the addition will
result in a negative number which is <= hlen.

I couldn't trigger a crash on my AMD64 with 2GB of memory, but a
coworker tried on his x86 machine and it crashed immediately.

This patch fixes the check in skb_header_pointer to handle large
positive offsets similar to skb_copy_bits. Invalid data can still
be accessed using negative offsets (also similar to skb_copy_bits),
anyone using negative offsets needs to verify them himself.

Thanks to Thomas Vögtle <thomas.voegtle@coreworks.de> for verifying the
problem by crashing his machine and providing me with an Oops.
