Dear all:

With 7.2 approaching, I wanted to review the set of known network bug reports 
(especially panics, hangs, lock order reversals) relating to TCP, UDP, 
sockets, and routing in 7-STABLE.

If you are aware of problems along these that you can confirm definitely occur 
with 7-STABLE checked out no earlier than 17 March, 2009, please drop me a 
private e-mail with a pointer to the thread, PR, or a reminder that you've 
sent me the details already.  If you don't have a PR open on the problem, 
opening one and forwarding me the receipt so I can grab ownership would be 
most welcome.

I don't promise I can get them fixed by the release, but doing a review and 
prioritizing the bugs that are known is a useful step in that direction.  I am 
specifically not interested in device driver-related problems, not because 
they shouldn't be fixed, but because there's only so much time in the day and 
it appears folks like Pyun have it well in hand :-).
