Dear List,
I agree that this issue certainly doesn't require to be in this list (rightful
place being kernewbies) but I tried that and got no response - so trying my luck
here.
I was going through try_module_get function in include/linux/module.h file
(2.6.22 stock kernel) - which is like:

Hi,
We have observed 40ms latency spikes in TCP connections in "burst" type of
traffic. This affects regular TCP sockets. We observed this issue in kernels of
2.4.21 and kernel 2.6.5.
Aparently, this seems to be fixed in 2.6.19.
Can someone throw some light on this?
Is this a congestion

The following patch is a bit of a hack to illustrate how the qos

Only very little files use the deprecated SA_* IRQ flags in latest pull. This
minimal patch series removes such macros from the tree and transfrom old code
to the new IRQF_* flags.

Handle memory allocation failures when reading packets.
We have to read something from the host, even if we can't allocate any
memory. If we don't, the host side of the device may fill up and stop
delivering interrupts because no new packets can be queued.
