A deadlock was reported to me recently that occured when netconsole was being used in a virtual guest. If the virtio_net driver was removed while netconsole was setup to use an interface that was driven by that driver, the guest deadlocked. No backtrace was provided because netconsole was the only console configured, but it became clear pretty quickly what the problem was. In netconsole_netdev_event, if we get an unregister event, we call __netpoll_cleanup with the target_list_lock held and irqs disabled. __netpoll_cleanup can, if pending netpoll packets are waiting call cancel_delayed_work_sync, which is a sleeping path. the might_sleep call in that path gets triggered, causing a console warning to be issued. The netconsole write handler of course tries to take the target_list_lock again, which we already hold, causing deadlock. The fix is pretty striaghtforward. Simply drop the target_list_lock and re-enable irqs prior to calling __netpoll_cleanup, the re-acquire the lock, and restart the loop. Confirmed by myself to fix the problem reported.

This reverts commit 1e253c3b. It breaks 802.3ad bonding inside of a bridge. The commit was meant to support transport bridging, and specifically virtual machines bridged to an ethernet interface connected to a switch port wiht 802.1x enabled. But this isn't the way to do it, it breaks too many other things. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The mechanism used to initiate work events from the interrupt handler has a classic read/modify/write race between the interrupt handler that sets the condition, and the worker task that reads and clears the condition.

The commit 609ff3bb ("be2net: add code to display temperature of ASIC") adds support to display temperature of ASIC but there is missing increment of work_counter in be_worker. Because of this 1) the function be_cmd_get_die_temperature is called every 1 second instead of every 32 seconds 2) be_cmd_get_die_temperature is called, although it is not supported. This patch fixes this bug. Signed-off-by: Ivan Vecera <ivecera@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The changes introduced with git-commit a02e4b7d ("ipv6: Demark default hoplimit as zero.") missed to remove the hoplimit initialization. As a result, ipv6_get_mtu interprets the return value of dst_metric_raw (-1) as 255 and answers ping6 with this hoplimit. This patche removes the line such that ping6 is answered with the hoplimit value configured via sysctl. Signed-off-by: Thomas Egerer <thomas.egerer@secunet.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

mac-fec.c was setting individual UDP address registers instead of multicast group address registers when joining a multicast group. This prevented from correctly receiving UDP multicast packets. According to datasheet, replaced hash_table_high and hash_table_low with grp_hash_table_high and grp_hash_table_low respectively. Also renamed hash_table_* with grp_hash_table_* in struct fec declaration for 8xx: these registers are used only for multicast there. Tested on a MPC5121 based board. Build tested also against mpc866_ads_defconfig. Signed-off-by: Andrea Galbusera <gizero@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

At this point, skb->data points to skb_transport_header. So, headroom check is wrong. For some case:bridge(UFO is on) + eth device(UFO is off), there is no enough headroom for IPv6 frag head. But headroom check is always false. This will bring about data be moved to there prior to skb->head, when adding IPv6 frag header to skb.

The locking with SMPS requests means that the debugs file should lock the mgd mutex, not the iflist mutex. Calls to __ieee80211_request_smps() need to hold that mutex, so add an assertion. This has always been wrong, but for some reason never been noticed, probably because the locking error only happens while unassociated.

The slave member of struct aggregator does not necessarily point to a slave which is part of the aggregator. It points to the slave structure containing the aggregator structure, while completely different slaves (or no slaves at all) may be part of the aggregator. The agg_device_up() function wrongly uses agg->slave to find the state of the aggregator. Use agg->lag_ports->slave instead.

The patch 'ath9k_hw: fix stopping rx DMA during resets' added code to detect a condition where rx DMA was stopped, but the MAC failed to enter the idle state. This condition requires a hardware reset, however the return value of ath_stoprecv was 'true' in that case, which allowed it to skip the reset when issuing a fast channel change.

Several tests in the ipv6 routing code check IFF_LOOPBACK, and allowing stacking such as VLAN'ing on top of loopback results in a netdevice which reports IFF_LOOPBACK but really isn't the loopback device. Instead of spamming the ipv6 routing code with even more special tests, simply disallow VLAN over loopback.

Scot Doyle demonstrated ip_options_compile() could be called with an skb without an attached route, using a setup involving a bridge, netfilter, and forged IP packets. Let's make ip_options_compile() and ip_options_rcv_srr() a bit more robust, instead of changing bridge/netfilter code. With help from Hiroaki SHIMODA.

During a kernel crash, bna control path state machine and firmware do not get a notification and hence are not cleanly shutdown. The registers holding driver/IOC state information are not reset back to valid disabled/parking values. This causes subsequent driver initialization to hang during kdump kernel boot. This patch, during the initialization of first PCI function, resets corresponding register when unclean shutown is detect by reading chip registers. This will make sure that ioc/fw gets clean re-initialization. Signed-off-by: Debashis Dutt <ddutt@brocade.com> Signed-off-by: Rasesh Mody <rmody@brocade.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

USB tethering does not work anymore since 2.6.39-rc2, but it's okay in -rc1. The root cause is the new added mask code 'FLAG_POINTTOPOINT' overlaps 'FLAG_MULTI_PACKET' in include/linux/usb/usbnet.h, this causes logic issue in rx_process(). This patch cleans up the overlap.

Machines are getting deadlock in four node cluster environment. All nodes are accessing (find /gfs2 -depth -print|cpio -ocv > /dev/null) 200 GB storage on a GFS2 filesystem. This result in memory fragmentation and driver receives 18 frags for 1448 byte packets. For non tso packet, fw drops the tx request, if it has >14 frags. Fixing it by pulling extra frags.
