When processing an unexpected INIT chunk, we do not need to do any preservation of the old AUTH parameters. In fact, doing such preservations will nullify AUTH and allow connection stealing.

meth didn't set a valid mac address during probing, but later during open. Newer kernel refuse to open device with 00:00:00:00:00:00 as mac address -> dead ethernet. This patch sets the mac address in the probe function and uses only the mac address from the netdevice struct when setting up the hardware.

The recent changes for ip command line processing fixed some problems but unfortunately broke some common usage scenarios. In current 2.6.24-rc6 the following command line results in no IP address assignment, which is surely a regression: ip=10.0.2.15::10.0.2.2:255.255.255.0::eth0:off Please find below a patch that works for all cases I can find.

We currently check that iph->ihl is bounded by the real length and that the real length is greater than the minimum IP header length. However, we did not check the caes where iph->ihl is less than the minimum IP header length. This breaks because some ip_fast_csum implementations assume that which is quite reasonable.

It is possible for the TX ring to have packets sit in it for unbounded amounts of time. The only way to defer TX interrupts in the chip is to periodically set "mark" bits, when processing of a TX descriptor with the mark bit set is complete it triggers the interrupt for the TX queue's LDG. A consequence of this kind of scheme is that if packet flow suddenly stops, the remaining TX packets will just sit there. If this happens, since those packets could be charged to TCP socket send queues, such sockets could get stuck. The simplest solution is to divorce the socket ownership of the packet once the device takes the SKB, by using skb_orphan() in niu_start_xmit(). In hindsight, it would have been much nicer if the chip provided two interrupt sources for TX (like basically every other ethernet chip does). Namely, keep the "mark" bit, but also signal the LDG when the TX queue becomes completely empty. That way there is no need to have a deadlock breaker like this. Signed-off-by: David S.

niu_slowpath_interrupt() expects values to be setup in lp->{v0,v1,v2} but they aren't. That's only done by niu_schedule_napi() which is done later in the interrupt path. If niu_rx_error() returns zero, and v0 is clear, hit the RX_DMA_CTL_STATE register with a RX_DMA_CTL_STAT_MEX. Only emit verbose RX error logs if a fatal channel or port error is signalled. Other cases will be recorded into statistics by niu_log_rxchan_errors(). Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Roland Westrelin did a great analysis of a long standing thinko in the return path of futex_lock_pi. While we fixed the lock steal case long ago, which was easy to trigger, we never had a test case which exposed this problem and stupidly never thought about the reverse lock stealing scenario and the return to user space with a stale state. When a blocked tasks returns from rt_mutex_timed_locked without holding the rt_mutex (due to a signal or timeout) and at the same time the task holding the futex is releasing the futex and assigning the ownership of the futex to the returning task, then it might happen that a third task acquires the rt_mutex before the final rt_mutex_trylock() of the returning task happens under the futex hash bucket lock. The returning task returns to user space with ETIMEOUT or EINTR, but the user space futex value is assigned to this task. The task which acquired the rt_mutex fixes the user space futex value right after the hash bucket lock has been released by the returning task, but for a short period of time the user space value is wrong. Detailed description is available at: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=400541 The fix for this is the same as we do when the rt_mutex was acquired by a higher priority task via lock stealing from the designated new owner. In that case we already fix the user space value and the internal pi_state up before we return. This mechanism can be used to fixup the above corner case as well. When the returning task, which failed to acquire the rt_mutex, notices that it is the designated owner of the futex, then it fixes up the stale user space value and the pi_state, before returning to user space. This happens with the futex hash bucket lock held, so the task which acquired the rt_mutex is guaranteed to be blocked on the hash bucket lock. We can access the rt_mutex owner, which gives us the pid of the new owner, safely here as the owner is not able to modify (release) it while waiting on the hash bucket lock. Rename the "curr" argument of fixup_pi_state_owner() to "newowner" to avoid confusion with current and add the check for the stale state into the failure path of rt_mutex_trylock() in the return path of unlock_futex_pi(). If the situation is detected use fixup_pi_state_owner() to assign everything to the owner of the rt_mutex.

Cleaning out all the incorrect 'no change made' checks for termios settings showed up a problem with the PL2303. The hardware here seems to lose sync and bits if you tell it to make no changes. This shows up with a real world application. To fix this the driver check for meaningful hardware changes is restored but doing the tests correctly and as a tty layer function so it doesn't get duplicated wrongly everywhere if other drivers turn out to need it.

hfs seems prone to bad things when it encounters on disk corruption. Many values are read from disk, and used as lengths to memcpy, as an example. This patch fixes up several of these problematic cases. o sanity check the on-disk maximum key lengths on mount (these are set to a defined value at mkfs time and shouldn't differ) o check on-disk node keylens against the maximum key length for each tree o fix hfs_btree_open so that going out via free_tree: doesn't wind up in hfs_releasepage, which wants to follow the very pointer we were trying to set up: HFS_SB(sb)->cat_tree = hfs_btree_open() ... failure gets to hfs_releasepage and tries to follow HFS_SB(sb)->cat_tree Tested with the fsfuzzer; it survives more than it used to.

This patch adds the array length of "free_area.free_list" to the vmcoreinfo data so that makedumpfile (dump filtering command) can exclude all free pages in linux-2.6.24. makedumpfile creates a small dumpfile by excluding unnecessary pages for the analysis. To distinguish unnecessary pages, makedumpfile gets the vmcoreinfo data which has the minimum debugging information only for dump filtering. In 2.6.24-rc1 or later, the free_area.free_list is an array which has one list for each migrate types instead of a single list. makedumpfile needs the array length of "free_area.free_list" and the vmcoreinfo data should contain it.

This patch corrects some erroneous dentry handling in eCryptfs. If there is a problem creating the lower file, then there is nothing that the persistent lower file can do to really help us. This patch makes a vfs_create() failure in the lower filesystem always lead to an unconditional do_create failure in eCryptfs. Under certain sequences of operations, the eCryptfs dentry can remain in the dcache after an unlink. This patch calls d_drop() on the eCryptfs dentry to correct this. eCryptfs has no business calling d_delete() directly on a lower filesystem's dentry. This patch removes the call to d_delete() on the lower persistent file's dentry in ecryptfs_destroy_inode().
