Repeat terminal ACKs and now terminal ACKs are now generated from the connection event processor rather from call handling as this allows us to discard client call structures as soon as possible and free up the channel for a follow on call. However, in ACKs so generated, the additional information trailer is malformed because the padding that's meant to be in the middle isn't included in what's transmitted. Fix it so that the 3 bytes of padding are included in the transmission. Further, the trailer is misaligned because of the padding, so assigment to the u16 and u32 fields inside it might cause problems on some arches, so fix this by breaking the padding and the trailer out of the packed struct. (This also deals with potential compiler weirdies where some of the nested structs are packed and some aren't). The symptoms can be seen in wireshark as terminal DUPLICATE or IDLE ACK packets in which the Max MTU, Interface MTU and rwind fields have weird values and the Max Packets field is apparently missing.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
