Hi Sven, This looks good to me, assuming that its tested and works. A few minor things: In sb_queue_tail() master loop is woken up if the ip_vs_sync_count reaches 10, which seems a bit arbitary. Perhaps its just my mail reader, but the patch seemed a bit screwy when I saved it to a file. I this fixed the problem I was seeing using s/^ / / Unfortuantely/Fortunately I am about to leave for a few days skiing, so if I am quiet you will know why.
