This patch adds an optimised version of skb_cow that avoids the copy if the header can be modified even if the rest of the payload is cloned. This can be used in encapsulating paths where we only need to modify the header. As it is, this can be used in PPPOE and bridging.

The clone argument is only used by one caller and that caller can clone the packet itself. This patch moves the clone call into the caller and kills the clone argument. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This patch removes the hdr variable (which is copied into the skb) and instead sets the header directly in the skb. It also uses __skb_push instead of skb_push since we've just checked using skb_cow for enough head room. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

The function __pppoe_xmit modifies the skb data and therefore it needs to copy and skb data if it's cloned. In fact, it currently allocates a new skb so that it can return 0 in case of error without freeing the original skb. This is totally wrong because returning zero is meant to indicate congestion whereupon pppoe is supposed to wake up the upper layer once the congestion subsides. This makes sense for ppp_async and ppp_sync but is out-of-place for pppoe. This patch makes it always return 1 and free the skb.

Since the sctp_sockaddr_entry is now RCU enabled as part of the patch to synchronize sctp_localaddr_list, it makes sense to change all handling of these entries to RCU. This includes the sctp_bind_addrs structure and it's list of bound addresses. This list is currently protected by an external rw_lock and that looks like an overkill. There are only 2 writers to the list: bind()/bindx() calls, and BH processing of ASCONF-ACK chunks. These are already seriealized via the socket lock, so they will not step on each other. These are also relatively rare, so we should be good with RCU. The readers are varied and they are easily converted to RCU. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com> Acked-by: Paul E.

sctp_localaddr_list is modified dynamically via NETDEV_UP and NETDEV_DOWN events, but there is not synchronization between writer (even handler) and readers. As a result, the readers can access an entry that has been freed and crash the sytem. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com> Acked-by: Paul E.

The commit 95c385 broke proper source address selection for cases in which there is a address which is makred 'deprecated'. The commit mistakenly changed ifa->flags to ifa_result->flags (probably copy/paste error from a few lines above) in the 'Rule 3' address selection code. The patch restores the previous RFC-compliant behavior. Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

1) Comments suggest that setting optlen to zero will unbind the socket from whatever device it might be attached to. This hasn't been the case since at least 2.2.x because the first thing this function does is return -EINVAL if 'optlen' is less than sizeof(int). This check also means that passing in a two byte string doesn't work so well. It's almost as if this code was testing with "eth?" patterned strings and nothing else :-) Fix this by breaking the logic of this facility out into a seperate function which validates optlen more appropriately. The optlen==0 and small string cases now work properly. 2) We should reset the cached route of the socket after we have made the device binding changes, not before. Reported by Ben Greear.

Jens Axboe authored
There's a race condition in blk_queue_end_tag() for shared tag maps, users include stex (promise supertrak thingy) and qla2xxx. The former at least has reported bugs in this area, not sure why we haven't seen any for the latter. It could be because the window is narrow and that other conditions in the qla2xxx code hide this. It's a real bug, though, as the stex smp users can attest. We need to ensure two things - the tag bit clearing needs to happen AFTER we cleared the tag pointer, as the tag bit clearing/setting is what protects this map. Secondly, we need to ensure that the visibility of the tag pointer and tag bit clear are ordered properly. [ I removed the SMP barriers - "test_and_clear_bit()" already implies all the required barriers. -- Linus ] Also see http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7842Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This fixes a problem introduced with commit b5f2f4d1 The commit added a wrong chip definition to radeonfb which causes a blank console on my Laptop if radeonfb is loaded. The patch - renames PCI_CHIP_RS485_5975 to PCI_CHIP_RS482_5975 - corrects the chip family (RS480 instead of R300) for 0x5975 - ensures that PCI IDs are in ascending order in ati_ids.h Signed-off-by: Andreas Herrmann <aherrman@arcor.de> Tentatively-acked-by: Ben Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

One of the very first things lguest_init() does is a memcpy. On Athlon/Duron/K7 or CyrixIII/VIA-C3 or Geode GX/LX, this tries to use MMX. memcpy -> _mmx_memcpy -> kernel_fpu_begin -> clts -> paravirt_ops.clts But we haven't set paravirt_ops.clts yet, so we do the native version and crash. The simplest solution is to use __memcpy. Thanks to Michael Rasenberger for the bug report.

With the I/O space rewrite by BenH, the legacy_serial serial_dev_init() initcall is now called before I/O space is setup, but it's dependent on it being available. Since there's no way to make dependencies between initcalls, we'll just have to move it to device_initcall(). Yes, it's suboptimal but I'm not aware of any better solution at this time, and it fixes a regression from 2.6.22.

Commit f629307c introduced uses of kernel_termios_to_user_termios_1 and user_termios_to_kernel_termios_1 on all architectures. However, powerpc, s390, avr32 and frv don't currently define those functions since their termios struct didn't need to be changed when the arbitrary baud rate stuff was added, and thus the kernel won't currently build on those architectures. This adds definitions of kernel_termios_to_user_termios_1 and user_termios_to_kernel_termios_1 to include/asm-generic/termios.h which are identical to kernel_termios_to_user_termios and user_termios_to_kernel_termios respectively. The definitions are the same because the "old" termios and "new" termios are in fact the same on these architectures (which are the same ones that use asm-generic/termios.h).

Intel framebuffer mis-calculated pixel clocks. The pixel clock (and thus both H and V sync) will be slower than requested, so if you set the minimum allowed the display may not sync. In case of really old CRT display it could theoretically damage it. I'm using it with PAL TV (using RGB input - SCART connector) and the bug prevented it from working at all (TV requirements are more strict and made the bug visible).

This was posted on Aug 28 and fixes an issue that could cause troubles when slab caches >=128k are created. http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=118798149918424&w=2 Currently we simply add the debug flags unconditional when checking for a matching slab. This creates issues for sysfs processing when slabs exist that are exempt from debugging due to their huge size or because only a subset of slabs was selected for debugging. We need to only add the flags if kmem_cache_open() would also add them. Create a function to calculate the flags that would be set if the cache would be opened and use that function to determine the flags before looking for a compatible slab.
