I was working on the ipip/xfrm problem and as usual I get side-tracked by other problems. As part of an attempt to change the IPv4 protocol handler calling convention I found that SCTP violated the existing convention. It's returning non-zero values after freeing the skb. This is doubly bad as 1) the skb gets resubmitted; 2) the return value is interpreted as a protocol number. This patch changes those return values to zero. IPv6 doesn't suffer from this problem because it uses a positive return value as an indication for resubmission. So the only effect of this patch there is to increment the IPSTATS_MIB_INDELIVERS counter which IMHO is the right thing to do.

The netdev notifier call chain is currently unregistered without taking any locks outside the notifier system. Because the notifier system itself does not synchronise unregistration with respect to the calling of the chain, we as its user need to do our own locking. We are supposed to take the RTNL for all calls to netdev notifiers, so taking the RTNL should be sufficient to protect it. The registration path in dev.c already takes the RTNL so it's OK.

Make the softlockup detector purely timer-interrupt driven, removing softirq-context (timer) dependencies. This means that if the softlockup watchdog triggers, it has truly observed a longer than 10 seconds scheduling delay of a SCHED_FIFO prio 99 task.

In filesystems with the meta block group flag on, ext3_bg_num_gdb() fails to report the correct number of blocks used to store the group descriptor backups in a given group. It happens because meta_bg follows a different logic from the original ext3 backup placement in groups multiples of 3, 5 and 7.

Andrew Morton authored
At present the kernel doesn't honour an attempt to set RLIMIT_CPU to zero seconds. But the spec says it should, and that's what 2.4.x does. Fixing this for real would involve some complexity (such as adding a new it-has-been-set flag to the task_struct, and testing that everwhere, instead of overloading the value of it_prof_expires). Given that a 2.4 kernel won't actually send the signal until one second has expired anyway, let's just handle this case by treating the caller's zero-seconds as one second.

- Whitespace cleanups - Make that expression comprehensible. There's a potential logic change here: we do the "is it_prof_expires equal to zero" test after converting it to seconds, rather than doing the comparison between raw cputime_t's. But given that it's in units of seconds anyway, that shouldn't change anything.

Third large chunk of code cleanup. The split between this and #3 and #4 is fairly arbitary and due to the message length limit on the list. These patches continue the process of ripping out macros and typedefs while cleaning up lots of 32bit assumptions. Several inlines for compatibility also get removed and that causes a lot of noise.

It appears that console_setup() code only gets compiled into the kernel if CONFIG_PRINTK is enabled. One detrimental side-effect of this is that serial8250_console_setup() never gets invoked when CONFIG_PRINTK is not set, resulting in baud rate not being read/parsed from command line (i.e. console=ttyS0,115200n8 is ignored, at least the baud rate part...) Attached patch moves console_setup() code from inside #ifdef CONFIG_PRINTK to outside (in printk.c), removing dependence on said config. option.
