patch 49663421 in mainline. Commit 5a43a066: "genirq: Allow fasteoi handler to retrigger disabled interrupts" was erroneously applied to handle_level_irq(). This added the irq retrigger / resend functionality to the level irq handler. Revert the offending bits. Signed-off-by:

patch 3aa416b0 in mainline. lockdep: fix mismatched lockdep_depth/curr_chain_hash It is possible for the current->curr_chain_key to become inconsistent with the current index if the chain fails to validate. The end result is that future lock_acquire() operations may inadvertently fail to find a hit in the cache resulting in a new node being added to the graph for every acquire. [ peterz: this might explain some of the lockdep is so _slow_ complaints. ] [ mingo: this does not impact the correctness of validation, but may slow down future operations significantly, if the chain gets very long. ] Signed-off-by:

This might not be the case. This is exactly the same bug as was fixed in the w83627ehf driver two months ago: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=0956895aa6f8dc6a33210967252fd7787652537d In practice, this bug was causing the sensor thermal types to be improperly reported for my W83627THF the first time I was loading the w83627hf driver. From the driver history, I'd say that it has been broken since September 2005 (when we stopped resetting the chip by default at driver load.) Signed-off-by:

This episode illustrates how an overused warning can train people to ignore that warning, which winds up hiding bugs. The warning drivers/net/natsemi.c: In function ‘natsemi_remove1’: drivers/net/natsemi.c:3222: warning: ignoring return value of ‘device_create_file’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result is oft-ignored, even though at close inspection one notices this occurs in the /remove/ function, not normally where creation occurs.

changeset 162f6690a65075b49f242d3c8cdb5caaa959a060 in mainline. TCP V4 sequence numbers are 32bits, and RFC 793 assumed a 250 KHz clock. In order to follow network speed increase, we can use a faster clock, but we should limit this clock so that the delay between two rollovers is greater than MSL (TCP Maximum Segment Lifetime : 2 minutes) Choosing a 64 nsec clock should be OK, since the rollovers occur every 274 seconds.

changeset f8ab18d2 in mainline. Based upon a report and initial patch by Peter Lieven. tcp4_md5sig_key and tcp6_md5sig_key need to start with the exact same members as tcp_md5sig_key. Because they are both cast to that type by tcp_v{4,6}_md5_do_lookup(). Unfortunately tcp{4,6}_md5sig_key use a u16 for the key length instead of a u8, which is what tcp_md5sig_key uses. This just so happens to work by accident on little-endian, but on big-endian it doesn't. Instead of casting, just place tcp_md5sig_key as the first member of the address-family specific structures, adjust the access sites, and kill off the ugly casts. Signed-off-by:

changeset 48611c47 in mainline. When only GSO skb was partially ACKed, no hints are reset, therefore fastpath_cnt_hint must be tweaked too or else it can corrupt fackets_out. The corruption to occur, one must have non-trivial ACK/SACK sequence, so this bug is not very often that harmful. There's a fackets_out state reset in TCP because fackets_out is known to be inaccurate and that fixes the issue eventually anyway. In case there was also at least one skb that got fully ACKed, the fastpath_skb_hint is set to NULL which causes a recount for fastpath_cnt_hint (the old value won't be accessed anymore), thus it can safely be decremented without additional checking.

changeset e79ad711 from mainline. This fixes kernel bugzilla #5731 It should generate an empty packet for datagram protocols when the socket is connected, for one. The check is doubly-wrong because all that a write() can be is a sendmsg() call with a NULL msg_control and a single entry iovec. No special semantics should be assigned to it, therefore the zero length check should be removed entirely. This matches the behavior of BSD and several other systems. Alan Cox notes that SuSv3 says the behavior of a zero length write on non-files is "unspecified", but that's kind of useless since BSD has defined this behavior for a quarter century and BSD is essentially what application folks code to.

changeset bf0b48df from mainline. When the ICMPv6 Target address is multicast, Linux processes the redirect instead of dropping it. The problem is in this code in ndisc_redirect_rcv(): if (ipv6_addr_equal(dest, target)) { on_link = 1; } else if (!(ipv6_addr_type(target) & IPV6_ADDR_LINKLOCAL)) { ND_PRINTK2(KERN_WARNING "ICMPv6 Redirect: target address is not link-local.\n"); return; } This second check will succeed if the Target address is, for example, FF02::1 because it has link-local scope. Instead, it should be checking if it's a unicast link-local address, as stated in RFC 2461/4861 Section 8.1: - The ICMP Target Address is either a link-local address (when redirected to a router) or the same as the ICMP Destination Address (when redirected to the on-link destination). I know this doesn't explicitly say unicast link-local address, but it's implied. This bug is preventing Linux kernels from achieving IPv6 Logo Phase II certification because of a recent error that was found in the TAHI test suite - Neighbor Disovery suite test 206 (v6LC.2.3.6_G) had the multicast address in the Destination field instead of Target field, so we were passing the test. This won't be the case anymore. The patch below fixes this problem, and also fixes ndisc_send_redirect() to not send an invalid redirect with a multicast address in the Target field. I re-ran the TAHI Neighbor Discovery section to make sure Linux passes all 245 tests now. Signed-off-by:

changeset b04e7bdb from mainline. device_suspend() calls ACPI suspend functions, which seems to have undesired side effects on lower idle C-states. It took me some time to realize that especially the VAIO BIOSes (both Andrews jinxed UP and my elfstruck SMP one) show this effect. I'm quite sure that other bug reports against suspend/resume about turning the system into a brick have the same root cause. After fishing in the dark for quite some time, I realized that removing the ACPI processor module before suspend (this removes the lower C-state functionality) made the problem disappear. Interestingly enough the propability of having a bricked box is influenced by various factors (interrupts, size of the ram image, ...). Even adding a bunch of printks in the wrong places made the problem go away. The previous periodic tick implementation simply pampered over the problem, which explains why the dyntick / clockevents changes made this more prominent. We avoid complex functionality during the boot process and we have to do the same during suspend/resume. It is a similar scenario and equaly fragile. Add suspend / resume functions to the ACPI processor code and disable the lower idle C-states across suspend/resume. Fall back to the default idle implementation (halt) instead. Signed-off-by:

commit d3f7eae1 upstream The Averatec 2370 and some other Turion laptop BIOS seems to program the ENABLE_C1E MSR inconsistently between cores.

commit 255129d1 in upstream. The problem is that the garbage collector for the 'host' structures nlm_gc_hosts(), holds nlm_host_mutex while calling down to nlmsvc_mark_resources, which, eventually takes the file->f_mutex. We cannot therefore call nlmsvc_lookup_host() from within nlmsvc_create_block, since the caller will already hold file->f_mutex, so the attempt to grab nlm_host_mutex may deadlock. Fix the problem by calling nlmsvc_lookup_host() outside the file->f_mutex. Signed-off-by:

Previously, in the absence of PEC (rarely used!) it would NAK the "length" byte: S addr Rd [A] [length] NA That prevents the subsequent data bytes from being read: S addr Rd [A] [length] { A [data] }* NA The primary fix just reorders two code blocks, so the length used in the "should I NAK now?" check incorporates the data which it just read from the slave device. However, that move also highlighted other fault handling glitches. This fixes those by abstracting the RX path ack/nak logic, so it can be used in more than one location. Signed-off-by:
