Dave,

If you get a chance can you push the ccid3 divide by zero fix upstream
to Linus for 2.6.16 as it has no functionality changed and eliminates
a nasty little bug...

The commit for this is b6da19617f4ab610d3d90bcbdf65fa7e2b3d7b53 in your tree

I have also put at end of this e-mail after reapplying on linus tree
so above commit doesn't have fuzz...

[DCCP] ccid3: Divide by zero fix

In rare circumstances 0 is returned by dccp_li_hist_calc_i_mean which leads to
a divide by zero in ccid3_hc_rx_packet_recv. Explicitly check for zero return
now. Update copyright notice at same time.

Found by Arnaldo.
