openssh server and tun devices
If an ssh server receives a successful inbound ssh connection with 'ssh -w' without a tunnel number specified (i.e. in 'any' mode), it allocates the next tunnel device available on the server. The next thing the server needs to do is to set up the tunnel device. How does the server know which tunnel device was set up by the current connection? I'd really like something

[0/6] [NET]: virtio SG/TSO patches
Hi: Here are the patches I used for testing KVM with virtio-net using TSO. There are three patches for the tun device which are basically Rusty's patches with the mmap turned into copying (for correctness). Two patches are for the virtio-net frontend, one required to support receiving SG/TSO, and the other useful for testing SG per se. The other patch is to the KVM backend to make all this

[PATCH 1/3] Cleanup and simplify virtnet header
1) Turn GSO on virtio net into an all-or-nothing (keep checksumming separate). Having multiple bits is a pain: if you can't support something you should handle it in software, which is still a performance win. 2) Make VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_ECN a flag in the header, so it can apply to IPv6 or v4. 3) Rename VIRTIO_NET_F_NO_CSUM to VIRTIO_NET_F_CSUM (ie. means we do checksumming). 4)
