[NETFILTER]: Fix logging regression Loading one of the LOG target fails if a different target has already registered itself as backend for the same family.

[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: don't track locally generated special ICMP error The conntrack assigned to locally generated ICMP error is usually the one assigned to the original packet which has caused the error. But if the original packet is handled as invalid by nf_conntrack, no conntrack is assigned to the original packet. Then nf_ct_attach() cannot assign any conntrack to the ICMP error packet. In that case the current nf_conntrack_icmp assigns appropriate conntrack to it. But the current code mistakes the direction of the packet. As a result, NAT code mistakes the address to be mangled. To fix the bug, this changes nf_conntrack_icmp not to assign conntrack to such ICMP error. Actually no address is necessary to be mangled in this case. Spotted by Jordan Russell.

The core problem is that RFCOMM socket layer ioctl can release rfcomm_dev struct while RFCOMM TTY layer is still actively using it. Calling tty_vhangup() is needed for a synchronous hangup before rfcomm_dev is freed.

ACPI: dock: fix opps after dock driver fails to initialize The driver tests the dock_station pointer for nonnull to check whether it has initialized properly.

This patch causes device-mapper to reject any barrier requests. This is done since most of the targets won't handle this correctly anyway. So until the situation improves it is better to reject these requests at the first place. Since barrier requests won't get to the targets, the checks there can be removed.

The handling of the re-registration case is wrong here; the "test" that was returned from auth_domain_lookup will not be used again, so that reference should be put. And auth_domain_lookup never did anything with "new" in this case, so we should just clean it up ourself. Thanks to Akinobu Mita for bug report, analysis, and testing.

With the cfq_queue hash removal, we inadvertently got rid of the async queue sharing. This was not intentional, in fact CFQ purposely shares the async queue per priority level to get good merging for async writes. So put some logic in cfq_get_queue() to track the shared queues.

Pointed out by Michal Schmidt <mschmidt@redhat.com>. The bug was introduced in 2.6.22 by me. cleanup_workqueue_thread() does flush_cpu_workqueue(cwq) in a loop until ->worklist becomes empty. This is live-lockable, a re-niced caller can get CPU after wake_up() and insert a new barrier before the lower-priority cwq->thread has a chance to clear ->current_work. Change cleanup_workqueue_thread() to do flush_cpu_workqueue(cwq) only once. We can rely on the fact that run_workqueue() won't return until it flushes all works. So it is safe to call kthread_stop() after that, the "should stop" request won't be noticed until run_workqueue() returns.

J. Bruce Fields authored
The value of nperbucket calculated here is too small--we should be rounding up instead of down--with the result that the index j in the following loop can overflow the raparm_hash array. At least in my case, the next thing in memory turns out to be export_table, so the symptoms I see are crashes caused by the appearance of four zeroed-out export entries in the first bucket of the hash table of exports (which were actually entries in the readahead cache, a pointer to which had been written to the export table in this initialization code). It looks like the bug was probably introduced with commit fce1456a ("knfsd: make the readahead params cache SMP-friendly"). Cc: Greg Banks <gnb@melbourne.sgi.com> Signed-off-by: "J.

There is another bug recently introduced into the ecryptfs_setattr() function in 2.6.22. eCryptfs will attempt to treat special files like regular eCryptfs files on chmod, chown, and so forth. This leads to a NULL pointer dereference. This patch validates that the file is a regular file before proceeding with operations related to the inode's crypt_stat.
