Package: linux-2.6 Severity: normal This is a request to pull/backport the following patches from the upstream kernel and justifications for each one:
[SCTP]: Extend /proc/net/sctp/snmp to provide more statistics. http://git.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=ac0b04627269ff16c3c7ab854a65fe6780c6e3e5 This patch provides additional useful statistics about SCTP packets and is very helpfull when debuing problems/issues. [SCTP]: Fix IPv6 address flag setting when doing peel-off/accept. http://git.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=eb5fa39f5ef490c72901b547ac5e7211efd47d56 This patch corrects a bug with IPv6 implementation in SCTP. It prevents SCTP from working correctly over IPv6. [SCTP]: Remove multiple levels of msecs to jiffies conversions. http://git.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=3fd091e73b81f131e1567c4d4a1ec042940bf2f7 This corrects a trancation bug where configurable SCTP timer settings we set to slightly incorrect values and resulted strange results. [SCTP]: Include sk_buff overhead while updating the peer's receive window. http://git.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=cd49788563d3b9e2ec0b316fa57aef1c0cb3bd4b This slightly improves the performance and stability of SCTP. It improves a condition where SCTP would suddenly stall a take a while to recover. [SCTP]: Use correct mask when disabling PMTUD. http://git.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=b56bab46f3220eb6b1f71c000faa44c6b13fb148 This patch fixes a bug where Path MTU discover was disabled improperly. [SCTP]: Do not timestamp every SCTP packet. http://git.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=f236218b7292bccb0f8754a0feb5d9e9a06fe5a2 Improves performance of SCTP, particularly on some AMD64 systems. [SCTP]: Fix receive buffer accounting. http://git.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=331c4ee7faa4ee1e1404c872a139784753100498 This also improves stability and performance of SCTP. It also corrects a problem with incorrect accouting. If you need any help backporting these patches, please let me know and I will assist.
