Hi,

in an effort to keep more people up to date on recent developments to IPVS
I post a report of changes for each kernel release. Sometimes I forget and
combine several release into one report. This is one such time and this
report looks at the changes to IPVS in the 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2 kernels.

In all 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2 have been fairly quiet releases for IPVS.
Some highlights are:

3.0:
* Bug Fixes
  + Correct crash that manifests when the ip_vs is unloaded from the kernel
    if it was not loaded before nf_conntrack_netlink.
  + Restore support for iptables SNAT which was broken since 2.6.37.

3.1:
* Feature
  + Support more variations of the FTP PASV response format
* Bug Fixes
  + Correct deadlock in netns support
  + Free resources on module removal

3.2:
* Features
  + Expose the ports parameter of the ip_vs_ftp module in sysfs to
    allow it to be changed at run-time.
  + Also check for 0-port services on backup linux-directors when looking
    up the server of a synchronised connection

Scheduled for inclusion 3.3:
* Feature
  + Allow the use of real-server weights with the SH scheduler

This report was generated with the help of the following git logs.
Longer versions of the logs may be obtained by omitting --oneline
from the git commands.
