[PATCH 3/5] drivers/rtc: Remove unneeded ifdef CONFIG_PM
2010/7/14 Christian Dietrich <qy03fugy(a)stud.informatik.uni-erlangen.de>: Because CONFIG_PM is a precondition to CONFIG_ACPI, the ifdef CONFIG_PM within ifdef CONFIG_ACPI is redundant.

Hi, I have encountered the same problem that Eric Sandeen described in this post http://lkml.org/lkml/fancy/2010/4/23/467 while experimenting with stackable filesystems. The reason seems to be that ecryptfs calls lookup_one_len() to get the lower dentry, which in turn calls the lower parent dirs d_reval... 15 Jul 2010 09:51

[PATCHv4] netfilter: add CHECKSUM target
This adds a `CHECKSUM' target, which can be used in the iptables mangle table. You can use this target to compute and fill in the checksum in a packet that lacks a checksum. This is particularly useful, if you need to work around old applications such as dhcp clients, that do not work well with checksum offload... 15 Jul 2010 08:45
