Kenji Kaneshige found this race between device removal and registration. On unregister it is possible for the old device to exist, because sysfs file is still open. A new device with 'eth%d' will select the same name, but sysfs kobject register will fial. The following changes the shutdown order slightly. It hold a removes the sysfs entries earlier (on unregister_netdevice), but holds a kobject reference. Then when todo runs the actual last put free happens. Signed-off-by:

in4_pton converts a textual representation of an ip4 address into an integer representation. However, when the textual representation is of in the form ip:port, e.g. 192.168.1.1:5060, and 'delim' is set to -1, the function bails out with an error when reading the colon. It makes sense to allow the colon as a delimiting character without explicitly having to set it through the 'delim' variable as there can be no ambiguity in the point where the ip address is completely parsed. This function is indeed called from nf_conntrack_sip.c in this way to parse textual ip:port combinations which fails due to the reason stated above. Signed-off-by:

Currently when icmp_errors_use_inbound_ifaddr is set and an ICMP error is sent after the packet passed through ip_output(), an address from the outgoing interface is chosen as ICMP source address since skb->dev doesn't point to the incoming interface anymore. Fix this by doing an interface lookup on rt->dst.iif and using that device. Signed-off-by:

This combines two upstream commits to fix an OOPS with AF_UNIX and SELINUX. Basically, sk->sk_socket can become NULL because we access a peer socket without any locking, so it can be shut down and released in another thread. Commit: d410b81b4eef2e4409f9c38ef201253fbbcc7d94 [AF_UNIX]: Make socket locking much less confusing. The unix_state_*() locking macros imply that there is some rwlock kind of thing going on, but the implementation is actually a spinlock which makes the code more confusing than it needs to be. So use plain unix_state_lock and unix_state_unlock. Signed-off-by:

Force Dell E520 to use the BIOS to shutdown/reboot. I have at least one report that this patch fixes shutdown/reboot problems on the Dell E520 platform. (Andi says: People can always set the boot option. It hardly seems like a critical issue needing a backport.) Signed-off-by:

Fix an Oops in the cciss driver caused by system shutdown while a filesystem on a cciss device is still active. The cciss_remove_one function only properly removes the device if the device has been cleanly released by its users, which is not the case when the pci_driver.shutdown method is called. This patch adds a new cciss_shutdown function to better match the pattern used by various SCSI drivers: deactivate device interrupts and flush caches. It also alters the cciss_remove_one function to match and readds the __devexit annotation that was removed when cciss_remove_one was serving as the pci_driver.shutdown method. Signed-off-by:

[PATCH] SCSI: aacraid: Correct sa platform support. (Was: [Bug 8469] Bad EIP value on pentium3 SMP kernel-2.6.21.1) http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8469 As discussed in the bugzilla outlined below, we have an sa based (Mustang) RAID adapter on the system, a Dell PERC2/QC. Affected controllers are HP NetRAID, Adaptec AAC-364, Dell PERC2/QC or Adaptec 5400S. This problem coincides with the introduction of the adapter_comm and adapter_deliver platform functions (Message [PATCH 1/4] aacraid: rework communication support code, January 23 2007, which initially migrated to 2.6.21) The panic occurs with an uninitialized adapter_deliver platform function pointer. The enclosed patch, unmodified as tested by Rainer, solves the problem. Signed-off-by:

Strip __cpuinit[data] from Node <-> PXM routines and supporting data structures. Also make pxm_to_node_map and node_to_pxm_map local to the numa acpi module. This fixes a bug triggered by the following conditions: - boot on a machine with a SLIT table defined - kernel is configured w/ CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n - cat /sys/devices/system/node/node*/distance This will cause an oops by calling into a freed memory section. In particular, on x86_64, __node_distance calls node_to_pxm(). Signed-off-by:

Chuck reports that the recent fix from Andi to oprofile 6c977aad introduces a double free. Each cpu's cpu_msrs is setup to point to cpu 0's, which causes free_msrs to free cpu 0's pointers for_each_possible_cpu. Rather than copy the pointers, do a deep copy instead.

The bug is caused by code that always set (TG3_FLAG_USE_MI_INTERRUPT | TG3_FLAG_USE_LINKCHG_REG) on all Dell's onboard devices. With these 2 flags set, the link status is polled by tg3_timer() and will only work when the PHY is set up to interrupt the MAC on link changes. This breaks 5906 because the 5906 PHY does not support TG3_FLAG_USE_MI_INTERRUPT the same as other PHYs. For correctness, only 5701 on Dell systems needs these 2 flags to be set. This change will fix the 5906 problem and will change other Dell devices except 5700 and 5701 to use the more efficient interrupt-driven link changes. Update version to 3.75.2. Signed-off-by:

Make timer-stats have almost zero overhead when enabled in the config but not used. (this way distros can enable it more easily) Also update the documentation about overhead of timer_stats - it was written for the first version which had a global lock and a linear list walk based lookup ;-) Andrew says: And this. Not a bugfix, but trivial and obvious and apparently some distros don't want to enable timer_stats because of the performance issue, but powertop uses timer_stats. Ingo replies: seconded. I have tested this with and without CONFIG_TIMER_STATS, with and without timer_stats collection activated. Signed-off-by:

Fix two races in the timer stats lookup code. One by ensuring that the initialization of a new entry is finished upon insertion of that entry. The other by cleaning up the hash table when the entries array is cleared, so that we don't have any "pre-inserted" entries. Thanks to Eric Dumazet for reminding me of the memory barriers.

The Via VT3351 APIC does not play well with MSI and unleashes a flood of APIC errors when MSI is used to deliver interrupts. The problem was recently exposed when the atl1 network device driver, which enables MSI by default, stimulated APIC errors on an Asus M2V mainboard, which employs the Via VT3351.

Why is it that since the 2f1a2ccb console UTF-8 fixes went into 2.6.22-rc1, the PowerMac G5 shows only inverse video question marks for the text on tty2-6? whereas tty1 is fine, and so is x86. No fault of that patch: by removing the old fallback behaviour, it reveals that 32-bit setfont running on 64-bit kernels has only really worked on the current console, the rest getting faked by that inadequate fallback. Bring the compat do_unimap_ioctl into line with the main one: PIO_UNIMAP and GIO_UNIMAP apply to the specified tty, not redirected to fg_console. Use the same checks, and most particularly, remember to check access_ok: con_set_unimap and con_get_unimap are using __get_user and __put_user. And the compat vt_check should ask for the same capability as the main one, CAP_SYS_TTY_CONFIG rather than CAP_SYS_ADMIN. Added in vt_ioctl's vc_cons_allocated check for safety, though failure may well be impossible. Signed-off-by:

ZD1211 appears to be back in production: a number of new devices have been appearing! Some of them are using new radios. This patch adds support for the next generation AL2230 RF chip which has been spotted in a few new devices. [As this patch was too late for 2.6.21, the kernel was modified to reject AL2230S devices because for me and others, the devices silently failed (and this looked like a driver bug). After doing so, a few people reported that AL2230S devices were working correctly for them even before AL2230S support was present. I'd like to propose that we fix both situations by backporting the AL2230S support into 2.6.21-stable] Signed-off-by:

This adds a real parent device to eth1394's ethX device like in Linux 2.6.20 and older. However, due to unfinished conversion of the ieee1394 away from class_device, we now refer to the FireWire controller's PCI device as the parent, not to the ieee1394 driver's fw-host device. Having a real parent device instead of a virtual one allows udev scripts to distinguish eth1394 interfaces from networking bridges, bondings and the likes.

The i8042 driver fails detection of the AUX port with some chips, because they apparently do not change the I8042_CTR_AUXDIS bit immediately. This is known to affect at least HP500/HP510 notebooks, consequently the built-in touchpad will not work.

To assure the symmetry of poll enable/disable in up/down, we should initialize the netdevice to be poll_disabled at load time.

Probing the codec slots on ATI controller causes problems on some devices like Acer laptops. On these devices, reading from codec slot 3 results in the communication failure with the codec chip. Meanwhile, some laptops (e.g. Gateway) have the codec connection only on slot 3, and probing this slot is mandatory for them. The patch improves the probing robustness. The additional slots are now checked only when no codecs are found in the primary three slots. Signed-off-by:

The NOHZ patch contains a check for softirqs pending when a CPU goes idle. The BUG is unrelated to NOHZ, it just was made visible by the NOHZ patch. The BUG showed up mainly on P4 / hyperthreading enabled machines which lead the investigations into the wrong direction in the first place. The real cause is in cond_resched_softirq(): cond_resched_softirq() is enabling softirqs without invoking the softirq daemon when softirqs are pending. This leads to the warning message in the NOHZ idle code: t1 runs softirq disabled code on CPU#0 interrupt happens, softirq is raised, but deferred (softirqs disabled) t1 calls cond_resched_softirq() enables softirqs via _local_bh_enable() calls schedule() t2 runs t1 is migrated to CPU#1 t2 is done and invokes idle() NOHZ detects the pending softirq Fix: change _local_bh_enable() to local_bh_enable() so the softirq daemon is invoked.
