[IPV6]: Fix address deletion
If you add more than one IPv6 address belonging to the same prefix and
delete the address that was last added, routing table entry for that
prefix is also deleted.
Tested on 2.6.14.4
To reproduce:
ip addr add 3ffe::1/64 dev eth0
ip addr add 3ffe::2/64 dev eth0
/* wait DAD */
sleep 1
ip addr del 3ffe::2/64 dev eth0
ip -6 route
(route to 3ffe::/64 should be gone)
In ipv6_del_addr(), if ifa == ifp, we set ifa->if_next to NULL, and later
assign ifap = &ifa->if_next, effectively terminating the for-loop.
This prevents us from checking if there are other addresses using the same
prefix that are valid, and thus resulting in deletion of the prefix.
This applies only if the first entry in idev->addr_list is the address to
be deleted.

[PATCH] USB Storage: Force starget->scsi_level in usb-storage scsiglue.c
When the usb-storage module forces sdev->scsi_level to SCSI_2, it should
also force starget->scsi_level to the same value. Otherwise, the SCSI
layer may attempt to issue SCSI-3 commands to the device, such as REPORT
LUNS, which it cannot handle. This can prevent the device from working
with Linux.
The AMS Venus DS3 DS2316SU2S SATA-to-SATA+USB enclosure, based on the
Oxford Semiconductor OXU921S chip, requires this patch to function
correctly on Linux. The enclosure reports a SCSI-3 SPC-2 command set
level, but does not correctly handle the REPORT LUNS SCSI command -
probably due to a bug in its firmware.
It seems likely that other USB storage enclosures with similar bugs will
also benefit from this patch.

The g5 thermal control for liquid cooled machines has a small bug, when
the temperatures gets too high, it boosts all fans to the max, but
incorrectly sets the liquids pump to the min instead of the max speed,
thus causing the overtemp condition not to clear and the machine to shut
down after a while. This fixes it to set the pumps to max speed instead.
This problem might explain some of the reports of random shutdowns that
some g5 users have been reporting in the past.
Many thanks to Marcus Rothe for spending a lot of time trying various
patches & sending log logs before I found out that typo. Note that
overtemp handling is still not perfect and the machine might still
shutdown, that patch should reduce if not eliminate such occcurences in
"normal" conditions with high load. I'll implement a better handling
