Extents in spare files on ext4 not being merged
http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/ticket/460#comment:49 Some users of rtorrent reported very high number of extents for files despite the use of posix_fallocate/fallocate on ext4.

[PATCH 0/2] tun: linux socket filter support
tun module already support RX filtering, however, this is limited to filtering by mac address. For virtio host, we also need filtering by vlan. Rather than adding this directly, it seems cleaner to add generic socket filter support. Michael S. Tsirkin (2): net: export attach/detach filter routines tu... 14 Feb 2010 06:18

[PATCH v6 7/7] TCPCT part 2g: parse cookie pair and 64-bit timestamp
Every bit is sacred. Use as few bits as possible in tcp_options_received. Group related timestamp flag bits for cache line memory efficiency. Fix #define spacing for TCP options. Define and parse 64-bit timestamp extended option (and minor cleanup). However, only 32-bits are used at this time (permitted by spe... 14 Feb 2010 03:02

[PATCH v3 5/7] TCPCT part 2e: accept SYNACK data
When accompanied by cookie option, Initiator (client) queues incoming SYNACK transaction data. This is a straightforward re-implementation of an earlier (year-old) patch that no longer applies cleanly, with permission of the original author (Adam Langley). The patch was previously reviewed: http://thread.... 14 Feb 2010 01:58
