[PATCH 0/17] [DCCP]: patch-backlog, bug-fixes, some code simplifications

[Gerrit Renker]

As promised earlier, this is the set of patches which I have been
keeping up-to-date; they divide into:

	* patches sent to this list that have not been merged
	  [I claim that this is exhaustive, i.e. all other patches
           have been merged - notify me if there is one missing]
	* bug fixes
	* `cosmetic' patches to simplify and consolidate code

The set is consistent in itself and patches on top of the latest davem-2.6
tree, but: all are stacked, i.e. the best way of applying is

	for p in $patches; do git-apply < $p; done

There are no new files introduced, so this works without problem. I have put
in extra time to check / tidy each and every one. I hope that this will pay
off, as I have little benefit from this and had to take this time away from
other commitments.

Thanks a lot for this Gerrit, now I have a work related meeting, but
later today I'll try and review these patches and get them into a
net-2.6.20 tree

This looks great Gerrit. Thanks for your effort.

Hi Arnaldo

|  try and review these patches and get them into a 
|  net-2.6.20 tree
Given that you are busy (as we know), I have set up the following to
make things simpler and avoid getting into the same situation:

	* I uploaded all patches from yesterday on to
  	  http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gerrit/dccp/patch-backlog/

        * there is a `series' file to use with stgit/quilt; otherwise,
	  for i in $(<series); do git apply < $i; done
	
        * only patches submitted onto the list will be put there

	* daily update since it is from my repository

	* future submissions (whether from me or anyone else) will be
	  added

	* all keep the original signed-off lines and descriptions at top

	* the whole lot (series and patches) can be downloaded as:
	  http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gerrit/dccp/patch-backlog/the_whole_lot.tar.gz

This is probably simpler than pulling an entire tree, but if you prefer that,
let me know.

[Gerrit Renker]

To make good on the claim that the backlog is exhaustive, I have gone through 
the past postings and can only identify the following, i.e. a single really
outstanding patch under (3):

1) Patches which seem to be experimental:
-----------------------------------------
	* Experimental support for tcp_congestion_ops: 
          http://www.mail-archive.com/dccp@vger.kernel.org/msg00425.html
	* CCID 2 profiling
	  http://www.mail-archive.com/dccp@vger.kernel.org/msg00375.html
	* Shift constants into header
	  http://www.mail-archive.com/dccp@vger.kernel.org/msg00520.html

2) Patches which have been withdrawn:
-------------------------------------
	* Always log debug messages when CONFIG_DEBUG is set
	  http://www.mail-archive.com/dccp@vger.kernel.org/msg00580.html
           -- this was an RFC version, please do not regard 
	* Remove socket option / fix setting of packet size in CCID3 / 2 new sockopts [5..7/7]
		http://www.mail-archive.com/dccp@vger.kernel.org/msg00521.html
		http://www.mail-archive.com/dccp@vger.kernel.org/msg00522.html
		http://www.mail-archive.com/dccp@vger.kernel.org/msg00523.html
	   -- merge request was withdrawn on 
	      http://www.mail-archive.com/dccp@vger.kernel.org/msg00591.html
 	   -- a strategy was discussed on
 	      http://www.mail-archive.com/dccp@vger.kernel.org/msg00581.html
              ... but no time so far to get down to the code !

3) Patches that are outstanding and have not been archived in the backlog:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
 	* DCCP conntrack/NAT on 
          http://www.mail-archive.com/dccp@vger.kernel.org/msg00108.html
	

If anything has been omitted despite quite thorough efforts, please notify.


When new stuff gets posted, I will put it up on http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gerrit/dccp/patch-backlog/ ;
when a patch is removed via discussion, it will likewise be removed from there. All subsequent patches
will be on top of the last one in the archive.

Really, really helpful Gerrit. Owe you some beers when we eventually
meet at some conference. (As well as owing Arnaldo, Andrea et al beer
for their efforts as well!)
