[INET]: Use pskb_trim_unique when trimming paged unique skbs The IPv4/IPv6 datagram output path was using skb_trim to trim paged packets because they know that the packet has not been cloned yet (since the packet hasn't been given to anything else in the system). This broke because skb_trim no longer allows paged packets to be trimmed. Paged packets must be given to one of the pskb_trim functions instead. This patch adds a new pskb_trim_unique function to cover the IPv4/IPv6 datagram output path scenario and replaces the corresponding skb_trim calls with it. Signed-off-by:

Recently a patch was added for preliminary suspend/resume handling on !PPC_PMAC. However, this broke both suspend and firewire on powerpc because it saves the pci state after the device has already been disabled. This moves the save state to before the pmac specific code. Signed-off-by:

At the point where this 'atomic_add' is, rdev could be NULL, as seen by the fact that we test for this in the very next statement. Further is it is really the wrong place of the add. We could add to the count of corrected errors once the are sure it was corrected, not before trying to correct it. Signed-off-by:

[NETFILTER]: ulog: fix panic on SMP kernels Fix kernel panic on various SMP machines. The culprit is a null ub->skb in ulog_send(). If ulog_timer() has already been scheduled on one CPU and is spinning on the lock, and ipt_ulog_packet() flushes the queue on another CPU by calling ulog_send() right before it exits, there will be no skbuff when ulog_timer() acquires the lock and calls ulog_send(). Cancelling the timer in ulog_send() doesn't help because it has already been scheduled and is running on the first CPU. Similar problem exists in ebt_ulog.c and nfnetlink_log.c. Signed-off-by:

In bugzilla #6941, Jens Kilian reported: "The function befs_utf2nls (in fs/befs/linuxvfs.c) writes a 0 byte past the end of a block of memory allocated via kmalloc(), leading to memory corruption. This happens only for filenames which are pure ASCII and a multiple of 4 bytes in length. [...] Without DEBUG_SLAB, this leads to further corruption and hard lockups; I believe this is the bug which has made kernels later than 2.6.8 unusable for me. (This must be due to changes in memory management, the bug has been in the BeFS driver since the time it was introduced (AFAICT).) Steps to reproduce: Create a directory (in BeOS, naturally :-) with files named, e.g., "1", "22", "333", "4444", ... Mount it in Linux and do an "ls" or "find"" This patch implements the suggested fix. Credits to Jens Kilian for debugging the problem and finding the right fix. Signed-off-by:

[NET]: add_timer -> mod_timer() in dst_run_gc() Patch from Dmitry Mishin <dim@openvz.org>: Replace add_timer() by mod_timer() in dst_run_gc in order to avoid BUG message. CPU1 CPU2 dst_run_gc() entered dst_run_gc() entered spin_lock(&dst_lock) ..... del_timer(&dst_gc_timer) fail to get lock .... mod_timer() <--- puts timer back to the list add_timer(&dst_gc_timer) <--- BUG because timer is in list already. Found during OpenVZ internal testing. At first we thought that it is OpenVZ specific as we added dst_run_gc(0) call in dst_dev_event(), but as Alexey pointed to me it is possible to trigger this condition in mainstream kernel. F.e. timer has fired on CPU2, but the handler was preeempted by an irq before dst_lock is tried. Meanwhile, someone on CPU1 adds an entry to gc list and starts the timer. If CPU2 was preempted long enough, this timer can expire simultaneously with resuming timer handler on CPU1, arriving exactly to the situation described. Signed-off-by:

[IPV4]: Limit rt cache size properly. During OpenVZ stress testing we found that UDP traffic with random src can generate too much excessive rt hash growing leading finally to OOM and kernel panics. It was found that for 4GB i686 system (having 1048576 total pages and 225280 normal zone pages) kernel allocates the following route hash: syslog: IP route cache hash table entries: 262144 (order: 8, 1048576 bytes) => ip_rt_max_size = 4194304 entries, i.e. max rt size is 4194304 * 256b = 1Gb of RAM > normal_zone Attached the patch which removes HASH_HIGHMEM flag from alloc_large_system_hash() call.

Currently I am doing lots of refactoring work in the dvb tree. This bugfix became necessary to fix 2.6.17 whilst I was in the middle of this work. Unfortunately after I tested the original code for the patch, I generated the diff against the wrong tree (I accidentally used a tree with part of the refactoring code in it). This resulted in the reported compile errors because that tree (a) was incomplete, and (b) used features which are simply not in the mainline kernel yet. Many apologies for the error and problems this has caused. :( Signed-off-by:

Fix a bug identified by Zou Nan hai <nanhai.zou@intel.com>: If the system is in state SYSTEM_BOOTING, and need_resched() is true, cond_resched() returns true even though it didn't reschedule. Consequently need_resched() remains true and JBD locks up. Fix that by teaching cond_resched() to only return true if it really did call schedule(). cond_resched_lock() and cond_resched_softirq() have a problem too. If we're in SYSTEM_BOOTING state and need_resched() is true, these functions will drop the lock and will then try to call schedule(), but the SYSTEM_BOOTING state will prevent schedule() from being called. So on return, need_resched() will still be true, but cond_resched_lock() has to return 1 to tell the caller that the lock was dropped. The caller will probably lock up. Bottom line: if these functions dropped the lock, they _must_ call schedule() to clear need_resched(). Make it so. Also, uninline __cond_resched(). It's largeish, and slowpath. Acked-by:

The inode number out of an NFS file handle gets passed eventually to ext3_get_inode_block() without any checking. If ext3_get_inode_block() allows it to trigger an error, then bad filehandles can have unpleasant effect - ext3_error() will usually cause a forced read-only remount, or a panic if `errors=panic' was used. So remove the call to ext3_error there and put a matching check in ext3/namei.c where inode numbers are read off storage. [akpm@osdl.org: fix off-by-one error] Signed-off-by:
