      sky2: EC-U performance and jumbo support · b628ed98
      Stephen Hemminger authored 
      The Yukon EC Ultra chips have transmit settings for store and
forward and PCI buffering. By setting these appropriately, normal
performance goes from 750Mbytes/sec to 940Mbytes/sec (non-jumbo).

It is also possible to do Jumbo mode, but it means turning off
TSO and checksum offload so the performance gets worse. There isn't
enough buffering for checksum offload to work.

      There should never be descriptor error unless hardware or driver is buggy.
But if an error occurs, print useful information, clear irq, and recover.

      Stephen Hemminger authored 
      This device is having all sorts of problems that lead to data corruption
and system instability.  It gets receive status and data out of order,
it generates descriptor and TSO errors, etc.

Until the problems are resolved, it should not be used by anyone
who cares about there system.

      spidernet: Fix problem sending IP fragments · 33bdeec8
      Linas Vepstas authored 
      The basic structure of "normal" UDP/IP/Ethernet
frames (that actually work):
 - It starts with the Ethernet header (dest MAC, src MAC, etc.)
 - The next part is occupied by the IP header (version info, length of
packet, id=0, fragment offset=0, checksum, from / to address, etc.)
 - Then comes the UDP header (src / dest port, length, checksum)
 - Actual payload
 - Ethernet checksum

Now what's different for IP fragment:
 - The IP header has id set to some value (same for all fragments),
offset is set appropriately (i.e. 0 for first fragment, following
according to size of other fragments), size is the length of the frame.
 - UDP header is unchanged. I.e. length is according to full UDP
datagram, not just the part within the actual frame! But this is only
true within the first frame: all following frames don't have a valid
UDP-header at all.

The spidernet silicon seems to be quite intelligent: It's able to
compute (IP / UDP / Ethernet) checksums on the fly and tests if frames
are conforming to RFC -- at least conforming to RFC on complete frames.

But IP fragments are different as explained above:
I.e. for IP fragments containing part of a UDP datagram it sees
incompatible length in the headers for IP and UDP in the first frame
and, thus, skips this frame. But the content *is* correct for IP
fragments. For all following frames it finds (most probably) no valid
UDP header at all. But this *is* also correct for IP fragments.

The Linux IP-stack seems to be clever in this point. It expects the
spidernet to calculate the checksum (since the module claims to be able
to do so) and marks the skb's for "normal" frames accordingly
(ip_summed set to CHECKSUM_HW).
But for the IP fragments it does not expect the driver to be capable to
handle the frames appropriately. Thus all checksums are allready
computed. This is also flaged within the skb (ip_summed set to
CHECKSUM_NONE).

Unfortunately the spidernet driver ignores that hints. It tries to send
the IP fragments of UDP datagrams as normal UDP/IP frames. Since they
have different structure the silicon detects them the be not
"well-formed" and skips them.

The following one-liner against 2.6.21-rc2 changes this behavior. If the
IP-stack claims to have done the checksumming, the driver should not
try to checksum (and analyze) the frame but send it as is.

      KVM: Fix off-by-one when writing to a nonpae guest pde · 6b8d0f9b
      Avi Kivity authored 
      Nonpae guest pdes are shadowed by two pae ptes, so we double the offset
twice: once to account for the pte size difference, and once because we
need to shadow pdes for a single guest pde.

But when writing to the upper guest pde we also need to truncate the
lower bits, otherwise the multiply shifts these bits into the pde index
and causes an access to the wrong shadow pde.  If we're at the end of the
page (accessing the very last guest pde) we can even overflow into the
next host page and oops.

      [NETLINK]: Don't attach callback to a going-away netlink socket · ac57b3a9
      Denis Lunev authored 
      There is a race between netlink_dump_start() and netlink_release()
that can lead to the situation when a netlink socket with non-zero
callback is freed.

Here it is:

CPU1:                           CPU2
netlink_release():              netlink_dump_start():

                                sk = netlink_lookup(); /* OK */

netlink_remove();

spin_lock(&nlk->cb_lock);
if (nlk->cb) { /* false */
  ...
}
spin_unlock(&nlk->cb_lock);

                                spin_lock(&nlk->cb_lock);
                                if (nlk->cb) { /* false */
                                         ...
                                }
                                nlk->cb = cb;
                                spin_unlock(&nlk->cb_lock);
                                ...
sock_orphan(sk);
/*
 * proceed with releasing
 * the socket
 */

The proposal it to make sock_orphan before detaching the callback
in netlink_release() and to check for the sock to be SOCK_DEAD in
netlink_dump_start() before setting a new callback.

      [IrDA]: Correctly handling socket error · bfb6709d
      Olaf Kirch authored 
      This patch fixes an oops first reported in mid 2006 - see
http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/8/29/358 The cause of this bug report is that
when an error is signalled on the socket, irda_recvmsg_stream returns
without removing a local wait_queue variable from the socket's sk_sleep
queue. This causes havoc further down the road.

In response to this problem, a patch was made that invoked sock_orphan on
the socket when receiving a disconnect indication. This is not a good fix,
as this sets sk_sleep to NULL, causing applications sleeping in recvmsg
(and other places) to oops.

This is against the latest net-2.6 and should be considered for -stable
inclusion.

      [SCTP]: Do not interleave non-fragments when in partial delivery · d0cf0d99
      Vlad Yasevich authored 
      The way partial delivery is currently implemnted, it is possible to
intereleave a message (either from another steram, or unordered) that
is not part of partial delivery process.  The only way to this is for
a message to not be a fragment and be 'in order' or unorderd for a
given stream.  This will result in bypassing the reassembly/ordering
queues where things live duing partial delivery, and the
message will be delivered to the socket in the middle of partial delivery.

This is a two-fold problem, in that:
1.  the app now must check the stream-id and flags which it may not
be doing.
2.  this clearing partial delivery state from the association and results
in ulp hanging.

This patch is a band-aid over a much bigger problem in that we
don't do stream interleave.
