[PATCH 05/10] net: Add skb_free_frag to replace use of put_page in freeing skb->head

This change adds a function called skb_free_frag which is meant to compliment the function netdev_alloc_frag. The general idea is to enable a more lightweight version of page freeing since we don't actually need all the overhead of a put_page, and we don't quite fit the model of __free_pages. Sig

[PATCH v2 net-next 0/2] tcp: more reliable window probes

This series address a problem caused by small rto_min timers in DC, leading to either timer storms or early flow terminations. We also add two new SNMP counters for proper monitoring : TCPWinProbe and TCPKeepAlive v2: added TCPKeepAlive counter, as suggested by Yuchung & Neal Eric Dumazet (2):
