This patch fixes a segfault in ppp_shutdown_interface() and ppp_destroy_interface() when a PPP connection is closed. I bisected the problem to the following commit: commit c8019bf3 Author: Wang Chen <wangchen@cn.fujitsu.com> Date: Thu Nov 20 04:24:17 2008 -0800 netdevice ppp: Convert directly reference of netdev->priv 1. Use netdev_priv(dev) to replace dev->priv. 2. Alloc netdev's private data by alloc_netdev(). Signed-off-by: Wang Chen <wangchen@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> The original ppp_generic code treated the netdev and struct ppp as independent data structures which were freed separately. In moving the ppp struct into the netdev, it is now possible for the private data to be freed before the call to ppp_shutdown_interface(), which is bad. The kfree(ppp) in ppp_destroy_interface() is also wrong; presumably ppp hasn't worked since the above commit. The following patch fixes both problems.

The kernel_accept() does not hold the module refcount of newsock->ops->owner, so we need __module_get(newsock->ops->owner) code after call kernel_accept() by hand. In sunrpc, the module refcount is missing to hold. So this cause kernel panic. Used following script to reproduct: while [ 1 ]; do mount -t nfs4 192.168.0.19:/ /mnt touch /mnt/file umount /mnt lsmod | grep ipv6 done This patch fixed the problem by add __module_get(newsock->ops->owner) to kernel_accept(). So we do not need to used __module_get(newsock->ops->owner) in every place when used kernel_accept(). Signed-off-by: Wei Yongjun <yjwei@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

We need to pad irda_skb_cb in order to keep it safe accross dev_queue_xmit() calls. This is some ugly and temporary hack triggered by recent qisc code changes.

kernel BUG at drivers/net/phy/mdio_bus.c:165! Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000 How? mdiobus_alloc() sets bus->state = MDIOBUS_ALLOCATED. mdiobus_register() sets bus->state = MDIOBUS_REGISTERED but then can fail (mdiobus_scan()) returning an error to the caller. The caller aborts correctly with mdiobus_free() which does: if (bus->state == MDIOBUS_ALLOCATED) { kfree(bus); return; } BUG_ON(bus->state != MDIOBUS_UNREGISTERED); Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Halasa <khc@pm.waw.pl> Signed-off-by: David S.

The enc28j60 driver reads incoming packets in the process (workqueue) context, not in a tasklet or the interrupt context. Thus, we should use netif_rx_ni() to deliver those packets to the networking layer, instead of netif_rx(). This way incoming packets don't wait in the incoming queue for the next IRQ to be serviced.

This patch fixes an inconsistency in nfnetlink_conntrack.h that I introduced myself. The problem is that CTA_NAT_SEQ_UNSPEC is missing from enum ctattr_natseq. This inconsistency may lead to problems in the message parsing in userspace (if the message contains the CTA_NAT_SEQ_* attributes, of course). This patch breaks backward compatibility, however, the only known client of this code is libnetfilter_conntrack which indeed crashes because it assumes the existence of CTA_NAT_SEQ_UNSPEC to do the parsing. The CTA_NAT_SEQ_* attributes were introduced in 2.6.25. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

When a cgroup is removed, it's unlinked from its parent's children list, but not actually freed until the last dentry on it is released (at which point cgrp->root->number_of_cgroups is decremented). Currently rebind_subsystems checks for the top cgroup's child list being empty in order to rebind subsystems into or out of a hierarchy - this can result in the set of subsystems bound to a hierarchy being removed-but-not-freed cgroup. The simplest fix for this is to forbid remounts that change the set of subsystems on a hierarchy that has removed-but-not-freed cgroups. This bug can be reproduced via: mkdir /mnt/cg mount -t cgroup -o ns,freezer cgroup /mnt/cg mkdir /mnt/cg/foo sleep 1h < /mnt/cg/foo & rmdir /mnt/cg/foo mount -t cgroup -o remount,ns,devices,freezer cgroup /mnt/cg kill $! Though the above will cause oops in -mm only but not mainline, but the bug can cause memory leak in mainline (and even oops) Signed-off-by: Paul Menage <menage@google.com> Reviewed-by: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

VMI initialiation can relocate the fixmap, causing early_ioremap to malfunction if it is initialized before the relocation. To fix this, VMI activation is split into two phases; the detection, which must happen before setting up ioremap, and the activation, which must happen after parsing early boot parameters. This fixes a crash on boot when VMI is enabled under VMware. Signed-off-by: Zachary Amsden <zach@vmware.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

An example calling sequence which we did see: copy_user_highpage -> kmap_atomic -> flush_tlb_page -> _tlbil_va We got interrupted after setting up the MAS registers before the tlbwe and the interrupt handler that caused the interrupt also did a kmap_atomic (ide code) and thus on returning from the interrupt the MAS registers no longer contained the proper values. Since we dont save/restore MAS registers for normal interrupts we need to disable interrupts in _tlbil_va to ensure atomicity. Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org>

For the console, there is a 1:1 mapping of glyphs which cannot be found in the current font. This seems to be meant as a kind of 'emergency fallback' for fonts without unicode mapping which otherwise would display nothing readable on the screen. At the moment it affects all chars for which no substitution character is defined. In particular this means that for all chars (>= 128) where there is no iso88591-1/unicode character (e.g. control character area) you'll get the very strange 1:1 mapping of the (cp437) graphics card glyphs. I'm pretty sure that the 1:1 mapping should only affect strict ASCII code characters, i.e. chars < 128. The patch limits the mapping as it probably was meant anyway.

There is a major bug in the cp437 to unicode translation table. Char 0x7c is mapped to U+00a5 which is the Yen sign and wrong. The right mapping is U+00a6 (broken bar). Furthermore, a mapping for U+00b4 (a widely used character) is missing even though easily possible. The patch fixes these, as well as it provides a few other useful mappings. The changes are as follows: 0x0f (enhancement) enables a sort of currency symbol 0x27 (bug) enables a sort of acute accent which is a widely used character 0x44 (enhancement) enables a sort of icelandic capital letter eth 0x7c (major bug) corrects mapping 0xeb (enhancement) enables a sort of icelandic small letter eth 0xee (enhancement) enables a sort of math 'element of' Signed-off-by: Ingo Brueckl <ib@wupperonline.de> Acked-by: H.
