Since commit c5ed63d66f24(tcp: fix three tcp sysctls tuning),
sysctl_max_syn_backlog is determined by tcp_hashinfo->ehash_mask,
and the minimal value is 128, and it will increase in proportion to the
memory of machine.
The original description for tcp_max_syn_backlog and sysctl_max_syn_backlog
are out of date.

Changelog:
V2: update description for sysctl_max_syn_backlog

If ipv4_valdiate_peer() fails during a cached entry lookup,
we'll NULL derer since the loop iterator assumes rth is not
NULL.

Letting this be handled as a failure is just bogus, so just make it
not fail.  If we have trouble getting a non-NULL neighbour for the
redirected gateway, just restore the original gateway and continue.

The very next use of this cached route will try again.

__mkroute_output fails to work with the original tos
and uses value with stripped RTO_ONLINK bit. Make sure we put
the original TOS bits into rt_key_tos because it used to match
cached route.

After reset ipv4_devconf->data[IPV4_DEVCONF_ACCEPT_LOCAL] to 0,
we should flush route cache, or it will continue receive packets with local
source address, which should be dropped.

RED is useful for high throughput routers, I doubt many linux machines
act as such devices.

I was considering adding Adaptative RED (Sally Floyd, Ramakrishna
Gummadi, Scott Shender), August 2001

In this version, maxp is dynamic (from 1% to 50%), and user only have to
setup min_th (target average queue size)
(max_th and wq (burst in linux RED) are automatically setup)

By the way it seems we have a small bug in red_change()

if (skb_queue_empty(&sch->q))
	red_end_of_idle_period(&q->parms);

First, if queue is empty, we should call
red_start_of_idle_period(&q->parms);

Second, since we dont use anymore sch->q, but q->qdisc, the test is
meaningless.

Oh well...

[PATCH] sch_red: fix red_change()

Now RED is classful, we must check q->qdisc->q.qlen, and if queue is empty,
we start an idle period, not end it.
