[TCP]: Fix __tcp_push_pending_frames() 'nonagle' handling.
'nonagle' should be passed to the tcp_snd_test() function
as 'TCP_NAGLE_PUSH' if we are checking an SKB not at the
tail of the write_queue. This is because Nagle does not
apply to such frames since we cannot possibly tack more
data onto them.
However, while doing this __tcp_push_pending_frames() makes
all of the packets in the write_queue use this modified
'nonagle' value.
Fix the bug and simplify this function by just calling
tcp_write_xmit() directly if sk_send_head is non-NULL.
As a result, we can now make tcp_data_snd_check() just call
tcp_push_pending_frames() instead of the specialized
__tcp_data_snd_check().

[TCP]: Simplify SKB data portion allocation with NETIF_F_SG.
The ideal and most optimal layout for an SKB when doing
scatter-gather is to put all the headers at skb->data, and
all the user data in the page array.
This makes SKB splitting and combining extremely simple,
especially before a packet goes onto the wire the first
time.
So, when sk_stream_alloc_pskb() is given a zero size, make
sure there is no skb_tailroom(). This is achieved by applying
SKB_DATA_ALIGN() to the header length used here.
Next, make select_size() in TCP output segmentation use a
length of zero when NETIF_F_SG is true on the outgoing

[PATCH] selinux_sb_copy_data() should not require a whole page
Currently selinux_sb_copy_data requires an entire page be allocated to
*orig when the function is called. This "requirement" is based on the fact
that we call copy_page(in_save, nosec_save) and in_save = orig when the
data is not FS_BINARY_MOUNTDATA. This means that if a caller were to call
do_kern_mount with only about 10 bytes of options, they would get passed
here and then we would corrupt PAGE_SIZE - 10 bytes of memory (with all
zeros.)
Currently it appears all in kernel FS's use one page of data so this has
not been a problem. An out of kernel FS did just what is described above
and it would almost always panic shortly after they tried to mount. From
looking else where in the kernel it is obvious that this string of data
must always be null terminated. (See example in do_mount where it always
zeros the last byte.) Thus I suggest we use strcpy in place of copy_page.
In this way we make sure the amount we copy is always less than or equal to
the amount we received and since do_mount is zeroing the last byte this
should be safe for all.
