As it is ip_append_data only counts page fragments to the skb that
allocated it.  As such it means that the first skb gets hit with a
4K charge even though it might have only used a fraction of it while
all subsequent skb's that use the same page gets away with no charge
at all.

This bug was exposed by the UDP accounting patch.

Commit "96793b482540f3a26e2188eaf75cb56b7829d3e3" (Add ICMPMsgStats
MIB (RFC 4293)) made a mistake.

In that patch, David L added a icmp_out_count() in
ip_push_pending_frames(), remove icmp_out_count() from
icmp_reply(). But he forgot to remove icmp_out_count() from
icmp_send() too.  Since icmp_send and icmp_reply will call
icmp_push_reply, which will call ip_push_pending_frames, a duplicated
increment happened in icmp_send.

This patch remove the icmp_out_count from icmp_send too.

I noticed "ip route list" was slower than "cat /proc/net/route" on a
machine with a full Internet routing table (214392 entries : Special
thanks to Robert ;) )

This is similar to problem reported in commit
d8c9283089287341c85a0a69de32c2287a990e71 ("[IPV4] ROUTE: ip_rt_dump()
is unecessary slow")

Fix is to avoid scanning the begining of fz_hash table, but directly
seek to the right offset.

Before patch :

time ip route &gt;/tmp/ROUTE

real    0m1.285s
user    0m0.712s
sys     0m0.436s

After patch

# time ip route &gt;/tmp/ROUTE

real    0m0.835s
user    0m0.692s
sys     0m0.124s

The fib allows making identical routes with 'ip route replace'.

In rt_cache_get_next(), no need to guard seq-&gt;private by a
rcu_dereference() since seq is private to the thread running this
function. Reading seq.private once (as guaranted bu rcu_dereference())
or several time if compiler really is dumb enough wont change the
result.

But we miss real spots where rcu_dereference() are needed, both in
rt_cache_get_first() and rt_cache_get_next()

While strace-ing -T it I also noticed that first part of route cache
is fetched quite fast :

The following patch corrects this performance/latency problem,
removing quadratic behavior.

The following patch corrects this performance/latency problem,
removing quadratic behavior.

<title>[IPV4] ipconfig: Fix regression in ip command line processing</title>

The recent changes for ip command line processing fixed some problems
but unfortunately broke some common usage scenarios.  In current
2.6.24-rc6 the following command line results in no IP address
assignment, which is surely a regression:

 ip=10.0.2.15::10.0.2.2:255.255.255.0::eth0:off

Please find below a patch that works for all cases I can find.
