commit 49ff4bb4 in mainline. [TCP]: DSACK signals data receival, be conservative In case a DSACK is received, it's better to lower cwnd as it's a sign of data receival. Signed-off-by:

commit 6ee8009e38006da81d2a53da1aaa27365552553e in mainline Subject: [PATCH 1/1] [TCP]: Also handle snd_una changes in tcp_cwnd_down tcp_cwnd_down must check for it too as it should be conservative in case of collapse stuff and also when receiver is trying to lie (though it wouldn't be successful anyway). Note: - Separated also is_dupack and do_lost in fast_retransalert * Much cleaner look-and-feel now * This time it really fixes cumulative ACK + many new SACK blocks recovery entry (I claimed this fixes with last patch but it wasn't). TCP will now call tcp_update_scoreboard regardless of is_dupack when in recovery as long as there is enough fackets_out. - Introduce FLAG_SND_UNA_ADVANCED * Some prior_snd_una arguments are unnecessary after it - Added helper FLAG_ANY_PROGRESS to avoid long FLAG...|FLAG... constructs This is a reduced version of a mainline patch.

commit 8c7b43a2e58baa24002fa2b266d9a5007bc52a40 in mainline I tried to preserve bridging code as it was before, but logic is quite strange - I think we should free skb on error, since it is already unshared and thus will just leak. Herbert Xu states: > + if ((skb = skb_share_check(skb, GFP_ATOMIC)) == NULL) > + goto out; If this happens it'll be a double-free on skb since we'll return NF_DROP which makes the caller free it too. We could return NF_STOLEN to prevent that but I'm not sure whether that's correct netfilter semantics. Patrick, could you please make a call on this? Patrick McHardy states: NF_STOLEN should work fine here. Signed-off-by:

commit 6ae5f983 in mainline The commit 95c385 broke proper source address selection for cases in which there is a address which is makred 'deprecated'. The commit mistakenly changed ifa->flags to ifa_result->flags (probably copy/paste error from a few lines above) in the 'Rule 3' address selection code. The patch restores the previous RFC-compliant behavior. Signed-off-by:

commit 8ee4f391831cb96916a8e8a05f04b1c1d7dd30d8 in mainline. In testing our ESP/AH offload hardware, I discovered an issue with how AH handles mutable fields in IPv4. RFC 4302 (AH) states the following on the subject: For IPv4, the entire option is viewed as a unit; so even though the type and length fields within most options are immutable in transit, if an option is classified as mutable, the entire option is zeroed for ICV computation purposes. The current implementation does not zero the type and length fields, resulting in authentication failures when communicating with hosts that do (i.e. FreeBSD). I have tested record route and timestamp options (ping -R and ping -T) on a small network involving Windows XP, FreeBSD 6.2, and Linux hosts, with one router. In the presence of these options, the FreeBSD and Linux hosts (with the patch or with the hardware) can communicate. The Windows XP host simply fails to accept these packets with or without the patch. I have also been trying to test source routing options (using traceroute -g), but haven't had much luck getting this option to work *without* AH, let alone with.

commit e1f52208 in mainline. [IPv6]: Fix NULL pointer dereference in ip6_flush_pending_frames Some of skbs in sk->write_queue do not have skb->dst because we do not fill skb->dst when we allocate new skb in append_data(). BTW, I think we may not need to (or we should not) increment some stats when using corking; if 100 sendmsg() (with MSG_MORE) result in 2 packets, how many should we increment? If 100, we should set skb->dst for every queued skbs. If 1 (or 2 (*)), we increment the stats for the first queued skb and we should just skip incrementing OutDiscards for the rest of queued skbs, adn we should also impelement this semantics in other places; e.g., we should increment other stats just once, not 100 times. *: depends on the place we are discarding the datagram. I guess should just increment by 1 (or 2). Signed-off-by:

commit 596e4150 in mainline Bug: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8876 Not all ips are shown by "ip addr show" command when IPs number assigned to an interface is more than 60-80 (in fact it depends on broadcast/label etc presence on each address). Steps to reproduce: It's terribly simple to reproduce: # for i in $(seq 1 100); do ip ad add 10.0.$i.1/24 dev eth10 ; done # ip addr show this will _not_ show all IPs. Looks like the problem is in netlink/ipv4 message processing. This is fix from bug submitter, it looks correct. Signed-off-by:

This corresponds to upstream changesets e4630f9f and 32528d0f. [CRYPTO] blkcipher: Fix handling of kmalloc page straddling The function blkcipher_get_spot tries to return a buffer of the specified length that does not straddle a page. It has an off-by-one bug so it may advance a page unnecessarily. What's worse, one of its callers doesn't provide a buffer that's sufficiently long for this operation. This patch fixes both problems.

The commit in Linus upstream git tree is f3da54ba. Fix race with shared tag queue maps There's a race condition in blk_queue_end_tag() for shared tag maps, users include stex (promise supertrak thingy) and qla2xxx. The former at least has reported bugs in this area, not sure why we haven't seen any for the latter. It could be because the window is narrow and that other conditions in the qla2xxx code hide this. It's a real bug, though, as the stex smp users can attest. We need to ensure two things - the tag bit clearing needs to happen AFTER we cleared the tag pointer, as the tag bit clearing/setting is what protects this map. Secondly, we need to ensure that the visibility of the tag pointer and tag bit clear are ordered properly. [ I removed the SMP barriers - "test_and_clear_bit()" already implies all the required barriers. -- Linus ] Also see http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7842Signed-off-by:

Initialization of ohci1394 was broken according to one reporter if the driver was statically linked, i.e. not built as loadable module. Dmesg: PCI: Device 0000:02:07.0 not available because of resource collisions ohci1394: Failed to enable OHCI hardware. This was reported for a Toshiba Satellite 5100-503. The cause is commit 8df4083c in Linux 2.6.19-rc1 which only served purposes of early remote debugging via FireWire. This functionality is better provided by the currently out-of-tree driver ohci1394_earlyinit. Reversal of the commit was OK'd by Andi Kleen. Same as pre-2.6.23 commit be7963b7. Signed-off-by:

commit ef2b02d3 in mainline. The do_split() function for htree dir blocks is intended to split a leaf block to make room for a new entry. It sorts the entries in the original block by hash value, then moves the last half of the entries to the new block - without accounting for how much space this actually moves. (IOW, it moves half of the entry *count* not half of the entry *space*). If by chance we have both large & small entries, and we move only the smallest entries, and we have a large new entry to insert, we may not have created enough space for it. The patch below stores each record size when calculating the dx_map, and then walks the hash-sorted dx_map, calculating how many entries must be moved to more evenly split the existing entries between the old block and the new block, guaranteeing enough space for the new entry. The dx_map "offs" member is reduced to u16 so that the overall map size does not change - it is temporarily stored at the end of the new block, and if it grows too large it may be overwritten. By making offs and size both u16, we won't grow the map size. Also add a few comments to the functions involved. This fixes the testcase reported by hooanon05@yahoo.co.jp on the linux-ext4 list, "ext3 dir_index causes an error" Thanks to Andreas Dilger for discussing the problem & solution with me.

commit 0e2f6db8 in mainline. The inode->i_flock list contains the leases, flocks and posix locks in the specified order. However, the flocks are added in the head of this list thus hiding the leases from F_GETLEASE command, from time_out_leases() and other code that expects the leases to come first. The following example will demonstrate this: #define _GNU_SOURCE #include <unistd.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <sys/file.h> static void show_lease(int fd) { int res; res = fcntl(fd, F_GETLEASE); switch (res) { case F_RDLCK: printf("Read lease\n"); break; case F_WRLCK: printf("Write lease\n"); break; case F_UNLCK: printf("No leases\n"); break; default: printf("Some shit\n"); break; } } int main(int argc, char **argv) { int fd, res; fd = open(argv[1], O_RDONLY); if (fd == -1) { perror("Can't open file"); return 1; } res = fcntl(fd, F_SETLEASE, F_WRLCK); if (res == -1) { perror("Can't set lease"); return 1; } show_lease(fd); if (flock(fd, LOCK_SH) == -1) { perror("Can't flock shared"); return 1; } show_lease(fd); return 0; } The first call to show_lease() will show the write lease set, but the second will show no leases. Fix the flock adding so that the leases always stay in the head of this list. Found during making the flocks pid-namespaces aware. Signed-off-by:

commit 179c85ea in mainline. The futex list traversal on the compat side appears to have a bug. It's loop termination condition compares: while (compat_ptr(uentry) != &head->list) But that can't be right because "uentry" has the special "pi" indicator bit still potentially set at bit 0. This is cleared by fetch_robust_entry() into the "entry" return value. What this seems to mean is that the list won't terminate when list iteration gets back to the the head. And we'll also process the list head like a normal entry, which could cause all kinds of problems. So we should check for equality with "entry". That pointer is of the non-compat type so we have to do a little casting to keep the compiler and sparse happy. The same problem can in theory occur with the 'pending' variable, although that has not been reported from users so far. Based on the original patch from David Miller. Acked-by:

Minor regression since 2.6.22-rc1: If the experimental firewire-ohci driver instead of ohci1394 was loaded, iBook G3 and older PowerBooks refused to suspend. Same as commit 55111428 plus format string touch-ups from 8a8cea27, "firewire: missing newline in printk". Original patch description: Fixes (papers over) "Sleep problems with kernels >= 2.6.21 on powerpc", http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/8/25/155. The issue is that the FireWire controller's pci_dev.current_state of iBook G3 and presumably older PowerBooks is still in PCI_UNKNOWN instead of PCI_D0 when the firewire driver's .suspend method is called. Like it was suggested earlier in http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/10/24/13, we do not fail .suspend anymore if pci_set_power_state failed. Signed-off-by:

commit 9db619e6 in mainline. we upgraded the kernel of a nfs-server from 2.6.17.11 to 2.6.22.6. Since then we get the message lockd: too many open TCP sockets, consider increasing the number of nfsd threads lockd: last TCP connect from ^\\236^\É^D These random characters in the second line are caused by a bug in svc_tcp_accept. (Note: there are two previous __svc_print_addr(sin, buf, sizeof(buf)) calls in this function, either of which would initialize buf correctly; but both are inside "if"'s and are not necessarily executed. This is less obvious in the second case, which is inside a dprintk(), which is a macro which expands to an if statement.) Signed-off-by:

This is a splice patch for 2.6.22 and 2.6.21 (and earlier, I did not check. Let me know if you still maintain older stable trees!). It fixes an infinite loop in do_splice_direct(), when there's either nothing to read or nothing to write and blocking doesn't help. It could be things like running out of disk space. We need to exit both for failure and zero return, or we could be going around forever. This got fixed in 2.6.23-git with commit 51a92c0f Herbert Poetzl <herbert@13thfloor.at> noticed this bug in 2.6.22, and has verified that this minimal fix works. Signed-off-by:

Commit 85237f20 introduced the following warning: drivers/media/video/pwc/pwc-if.c: In function "pwc_video_close": drivers/media/video/pwc/pwc-if.c:1211: warning: "i" may be used uninitialized in this function This is true, and can cause a broken debug message to be logged. Here's a fix. Fix is already in Linus' tree for 2.6.23: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=7b9fbc3e30f785412a26819aa4daf0b6c27f6c53Signed-off-by:

Fix an off-by-one error in the I/O region declaration of two hardware monitoring drivers (lm78 and w83781d.) We were requesting one extra port at the end of the region. This is a regression in 2.6.22 and could prevent other drivers from loading properly. Already applied to Linus' tree for 2.6.23: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=15bde2f1a8e819213f54314505a5a0509673109bSigned-off-by:

Changeset fc0e0197 from mainline. I've bisected the deadlock when many small appends are done on jffs2 down to this commit: commit 6fe6900e Author: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Date: Sun May 6 14:49:04 2007 -0700 mm: make read_cache_page synchronous Ensure pages are uptodate after returning from read_cache_page, which allows us to cut out most of the filesystem-internal PageUptodate calls. I didn't have a great look down the call chains, but this appears to fixes 7 possible use-before uptodate in hfs, 2 in hfsplus, 1 in jfs, a few in ecryptfs, 1 in jffs2, and a possible cleared data overwritten with readpage in block2mtd. All depending on whether the filler is async and/or can return with a !uptodate page. It introduced a wait to read_cache_page, as well as a read_cache_page_async function equivalent to the old read_cache_page without any callers. Switching jffs2_gc_fetch_page to read_cache_page_async for the old behavior makes the deadlocks go away, but maybe reintroduces the use-before-uptodate problem? I don't understand the mm/fs interaction well enough to say. [It's fine. dwmw2.] Signed-off-by:

commit 0ee6c15e in mainline. When we flush register state for FP, Altivec, or SPE in flush_*_to_thread we need to respect the task_struct that the caller has passed to us. Most cases we are called with current, however sometimes (ptrace) we may be passed a different task_struct. This showed up when using gdbserver debugging a simple program that used floating point. When gdb tried to show the FP regs they all showed up as 0, because the child's FP registers were never properly flushed to memory. Signed-off-by:

commit 9f3119b7 in mainline. ACPI 1.0 used an RSDT with 32-bit physical addresses. ACPI 2.0 adds an XSDT with 32-bit physical addresses. An ACPI 2.0 aware OS is supposed to use the XSDT (when present) instead of the RSDT. However, several systems have failed because the XSDT contains NULL entries -- while it is missing pointers to needed tables, such as SSDTs. When we find an XSDT with NULL entries, discard it and use the ACPI 1.0 RSDT instead. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8630Signed-off-by:

commit f82f3f94 in mainline. Avoid setting the value if the symbol doesn't need to be changed or can't be changed. Later choices may change the dependencies and thus the possible input range. make oldconfig from a 2.6.22 .config with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU not set was in some configurations setting CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y without asking, even when there was no actual requirement for CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU. This was triggered by SUSPEND_SMP that does a select HOTPLUG_CPU. Signed-off-by:
