I'm not sold on the name or module the proto_data functions live in, but I believe the function arguments are solid and gives us the most flexibility for the future. And search/replace of a function name is easy enough to do.
The big driving force for getting this in sooner rather than later is the saved memory on ethernet packets (and IP packets soon), that used to have file_scope() proto data when all it needed was packet_scope() data (technically packet_info->pool scoped), strictly for Decode As.
All dissectors that use p_add_proto_data() only for Decode As functionality have been converted to using packet_scope(). All other dissectors were converted to using file_scope() which was the original scope for "proto" data.

be done on flows from one address to another; reassembly for protocols
running atop TCP should be done on flows from one TCP endpoint to
another.
We do this by:
adding "reassembly table" as a data structure;
associating hash tables for both in-progress reassemblies and
completed reassemblies with that data structure (currently, not
all reassemblies use the latter; they might keep completed
reassemblies in the first table);
having functions to create and destroy keys in that table;
offering standard routines for doing address-based and
address-and-port-based flow processing, so that dissectors not
needing their own specialized flow processing can just use them.
This fixes some mis-reassemblies of NIS YPSERV YPALL responses (where
the second YPALL response is processed as if it were a continuation of
a previous response between different endpoints, even though said
response is already reassembled), and also allows the DCE RPC-specific
stuff to be moved out of epan/reassembly.c into the DCE RPC dissector.

The reassembled fragments tree in the Packet Details view is awesome, but it
lacks one thing: a field that exposes the reassembled data.
tcp.data already exists for exposing a single TCP segment's payload as a byte
array. It would be handy to have something similar for a single application
layer PDU when TCP segment reassembly is involved. I propose
tcp.reassembled.data, named and placed after the already existing field
tcp.reassembled.length.
My primary use case for this feature is outputting tcp.reassembled.data with
tshark for further processing with a script.
The attached patch implements this very feature. Because the reassembled
fragment tree code is general purpose, i.e. not specific to just TCP, any
dissector that relies upon it can add a similar field very cheaply. In that
vein I've also implemented ip.reassembled.data and ipv6.reassembled.data, which
expose reassembled fragment data as a single byte stream for IPv4 and IPv6,
respectively. All other protocols that use the reassembly code have been left
alone, other than inserting NULL into their initializer lists for the newly
introduced struct field reassemble.h:fragment_items.hf_reassembled_data.

In MPEG-related dissectors, "adaption" is used instead of "adaptation" several
times. See patch (it also fixes an unrelated typo that happens to be on the
same line).

could cause an unsigned length value to be reduced by more than its
value, turning it into a very large value.
I couldn't exactly reproduce bug 6833, but it was due to an attempt to
allocate 4294967110 bytes, and this bug caused remaining_len to equal
4294967110, and it would try to create a reassembled packet tvbuff of
that size, so I'm guessing this fixes 6833.
