6d0aa06afd SUNRPC: Use correct argument type in memcpy()
Noticed by Tom Talpey <tmt@netapp.com>:

OBTW, there's a nit on that memcpy, too. The r_addr is an array, so

memcpy(&map->r_addr

is passing the address of the array as a char **. It's the same as
map->r_addr, but technically the wrong type.

143b6c4008 SUNRPC: Fix generation of universal addresses for
Fix some problems with rpcbind v3 and v4 queries from the in-kernel rpcbind
client:

1.  The r_addr argument must be a full universal address, not just an IP
address, and

2.  The universal address in r_addr is the address of the remote rpcbind
server, not the RPC service being requested

This addresses bugzilla.kernel.org report 8891 for 2.6.23-rc and greater.

In addition, if the rpcbind client is unable to start the rpcbind request,
make sure not to leak the xprt.

ddc01c0813 [NFS] [PATCH] NFS: show addr=ipaddr in /proc/mounts rather than
A minor thing, but useful when working with a server with multiple
addrs. This looks like it might also be necessary if Miklos' effort
to eliminate /etc/mtab ever comes to fruition.

When displaying mount options in /proc/mounts, the kernel prints
"addr=hostname". This info is redundant since we already have the
hostname displayed as part of the "device" section of the mount. This
patch changes it to display the IP address to which the socket is
connected.

c7e1596111 Re: [NFS] [PATCH] Attribute timeout handling and wrapping u32 jiffies
I would like to discuss the idea that the current checks for attribute
timeout using time_after are inadequate for 32bit architectures, since
time_after works correctly only when the two timestamps being compared
are within 2^31 jiffies of each other. The signed overflow caused by
comparing values more than 2^31 jiffies apart will flip the result,
causing incorrect assumptions of validity.

2^31 jiffies is a fairly large period of time (~25 days) when compared
to the lifetime of most kernel data structures, but for long lived NFS
mounts that can sit idle for months (think that for some reason autofs
cannot be used), it is easy to compare inode attribute timestamps with
very disparate or even bogus values (as in when jiffies have wrapped
many times, where the comparison doesn't even make sense).

Currently the code tests for attribute timeout by simply adding the
desired amount of jiffies to the stored timestamp and comparing that
with the current timestamp of obtained attribute data with time_after.
This is incorrect, as it returns true for the desired timeout period
and another full 2^31 range of jiffies.

In testing with artificial jumps (several small jumps, not one big
crank) of the jiffies I was able to reproduce a problem found in a
server with very long lived NFS mounts, where attributes would not be
refreshed even after touching files and directories in the server:

Initial uptime:
03:42:01 up 6 min, 0 users, load average: 0.01, 0.12, 0.07

NFS volume is mounted and time is advanced:
03:38:09 up 25 days, 2 min, 0 users, load average: 1.22, 1.05, 1.08

# ls -l /local/A/foo/bar /nfs/A/foo/bar
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 0 Dec 17 03:38 /local/A/foo/bar
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 0 Nov 22 00:36 /nfs/A/foo/bar

# touch /local/A/foo/bar

# ls -l /local/A/foo/bar /nfs/A/foo/bar
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 0 Dec 17 03:47 /local/A/foo/bar
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 0 Nov 22 00:36 /nfs/A/foo/bar

We can see the local mtime is updated, but the NFS mount still shows
the old value. The patch below makes it work:

Initial setup...
07:11:02 up 25 days, 1 min,  0 users,  load average: 0.15, 0.03, 0.04

# ls -l /local/A/foo/bar /nfs/A/foo/bar
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 0 Jan 11 07:11 /local/A/foo/bar
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 0 Jan 11 07:11 /nfs/A/foo/bar

# touch /local/A/foo/bar

# ls -l /local/A/foo/bar /nfs/A/foo/bar
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 0 Jan 11 07:14 /local/A/foo/bar
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 0 Jan 11 07:14 /nfs/A/foo/bar

4e769b934e 64 bit ino support for NFS client
Hi.

Attached is a patch to modify the NFS client code to support
64 bit ino's, as appropriate for the system and the NFS
protocol version.

The code basically just expand the NFS interfaces for routines
which handle ino's from using ino_t to u64 and then uses the
fileid in the nfs_inode instead of i_ino in the inode.  The
code paths that were updated are in the getattr method and
the readdir methods.

This should be no real change on 64 bit platforms.  Since
the ino_t is an unsigned long, it would already be 64 bits
wide.

    Thanx...

           ps

This finishes the rename of CONFIG_USB_OHCI to CONFIG_USB_OHCI_HCD, which

working anyway for most people got forgotten.

a200ee182a mm: set_page_dirty_balance() vs ->page_mkwrite()
All the current page_mkwrite() implementations also set the page dirty. Which
results in the set_page_dirty_balance() call to _not_ call balance, because the
page is already found dirty.

This allows us to dirty a _lot_ of pages without ever hitting
balance_dirty_pages().  Not good (tm).

Force a balance call if ->page_mkwrite() was successful.

bf0b48dfc3 [IPv6]: Fix ICMPv6 redirect handling with target multicast address
When the ICMPv6 Target address is multicast, Linux processes the 
redirect instead of dropping it.  The problem is in this code in 
ndisc_redirect_rcv():

         if (ipv6_addr_equal(dest, target)) {
                 on_link = 1;
         } else if (!(ipv6_addr_type(target) & IPV6_ADDR_LINKLOCAL)) {
                 ND_PRINTK2(KERN_WARNING
                            "ICMPv6 Redirect: target address is not 
link-local.\n");
                 return;
         }

This second check will succeed if the Target address is, for example, 
FF02::1 because it has link-local scope.  Instead, it should be checking 
if it's a unicast link-local address, as stated in RFC 2461/4861 Section 
8.1:

       - The ICMP Target Address is either a link-local address (when
         redirected to a router) or the same as the ICMP Destination
         Address (when redirected to the on-link destination).

I know this doesn't explicitly say unicast link-local address, but it's 
implied.

This bug is preventing Linux kernels from achieving IPv6 Logo Phase II 
certification because of a recent error that was found in the TAHI test 
suite - Neighbor Disovery suite test 206 (v6LC.2.3.6_G) had the 
multicast address in the Destination field instead of Target field, so 
we were passing the test.  This won't be the case anymore.

The patch below fixes this problem, and also fixes ndisc_send_redirect() 
to not send an invalid redirect with a multicast address in the Target 
field.  I re-ran the TAHI Neighbor Discovery section to make sure Linux 
passes all 245 tests now.
