SCTP_SET_PEER_PRIMARY_ADDR does not accpet v4mapped address, using v4mapped address in SCTP_SET_PEER_PRIMARY_ADDR socket option will get -EADDRNOTAVAIL error if v4map is enabled. This patch try to fix it by mapping v4mapped address to v4 address if allowed.

I noticed that one of the post-2.6.36 patches broke runtime PM of the r8169 on my MSI Wind test machine in such a way that the link was not brought up after reconnecting the network cable. In the process of debugging the issue I realized that we only should invoke the runtime PM functions in rtl8169_check_link_status() when link change is reported and if we do so, the problem goes away. Moreover, this allows rtl8169_runtime_idle() to be simplified quite a bit. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl> Acked-by: Francois Romieu <romieu@fr.zoreil.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

There is definitly a problem, that some option cards send up broken IP pakets leading to corrupted IP packets. These corruptions aren't detected, because the driver claims that the packets are already checksummed. This change removes the CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY option and let IP detect broken data.

A while back I made some changes to enable netpoll in the bonding driver. Among them was a per-cpu flag that indicated we were in a path that held locks which could cause the netpoll path to block in during tx, and as such the tx path should queue the frame for later use. This appears to have given rise to a regression. If one of those paths on which we hold the per-cpu flag yields the cpu, its possible for us to come back on a different cpu, leading to us clearing a different flag than we set. This results in odd netpoll drops, and BUG backtraces appearing in the log, as we check to make sure that we only clear set bits, and only set clear bits. I had though briefly about changing the offending paths so that they wouldn't sleep, but looking at my origional work more closely, it doesn't appear that a per-cpu flag is warranted. We alrady gate the checking of this flag on IFF_IN_NETPOLL, so we don't hit this in the normal tx case anyway. And practically speaking, the normal use case for netpoll is to only have one client anyway, so we're not going to erroneously queue netpoll frames when its actually safe to do so. As such, lets just convert that per-cpu flag to an atomic counter. It fixes the rescheduling bugs, is equivalent from a performance perspective and actually eliminates some code in the process.

Enable the port when disabling countermeasures, and disable it on enabling countermeasures. This bug causes the response of the system to certain attacks to be ineffective. It also prevents wpa_supplicant from getting scan results, as wpa_supplicant disables countermeasures on startup - preventing the hardware from scanning. wpa_supplicant works with ap_mode=2 despite this bug because the commit handler re-enables the port. The log tends to look like: State: DISCONNECTED -> SCANNING Starting AP scan for wildcard SSID Scan requested (ret=0) - scan timeout 5 seconds EAPOL: disable timer tick EAPOL: Supplicant port status: Unauthorized Scan timeout - try to get results Failed to get scan results Failed to get scan results - try scanning again Setting scan request: 1 sec 0 usec Starting AP scan for wildcard SSID Scan requested (ret=-1) - scan timeout 5 seconds Failed to initiate AP scan.

... and interface up. In these situations, you are usually trying to connect to a new AP, so keeping TKIP countermeasures active is confusing. This is already how the driver behaves (inadvertently). However, querying SIOCGIWAUTH may tell userspace that countermeasures are active when they aren't. Clear the setting so that the reporting matches what the driver has done..

To avoid copying the skb unnecessarily move the skb_copy call below the checks that don't need write access to the skb. Also, move the assignment of nh_pos and h_pos below the skb_copy to point to the correct skb. It would be possible to avoid another resize of the copied skb by using skb_copy_expand instead of skb_copy but that would make the patch more complex. Also, shared skbs are a corner case right now, so the resize shouldn't matter much.

When ath_drain_all_txq fails to stop DMA, it issues a hw reset. This reset happens at a very problematic point in time, when the hardware rx path has not been stopped yet. This could lead to memory corruption, hardware hangs or other issues.

If we are using a legacy interrupt, our IRQ may be shared and our interrupt handler may be called even though interrupts are disabled on the NIC. When we change ring sizes, we reallocate the event queue and the interrupt handler may use an invalid pointer when called for another device's interrupt. Maintain a legacy_irq_enabled flag and test that at the top of the interrupt handler. Note that this problem results from the need to work around broken INT_ISR0 reads, and does not affect the legacy interrupt handler for Falcon A1.
