Last pull request before 2.6.37-rc1, I really wanted to get your
sendto/recvfrom patch in here as well as the RDS fixes.

I did a bunch of tests with the various I/O calls using different
lengths, like 10, (2^31 - 1), 2^31, 2^32, and larger on 64-bit and it
all seems to be doing the right thing at least with TCP and UDP.

7) RDS fixes from you and Andy Grover.

Aren't the generic length limiting changes (8acfe46 and 253eacc) also
supposed to cover the overflow issues with TIPC?  Or are those still
unfixed?

Yes, the TIPC issues should be cured by those generic networking changes.
