45e15bb734 ibmveth: fix bad UDP checksums
This patch fixes a ibmveth bug where bad UDP checksums are being transmitted
when checksum offloading is enabled.
The hypervisor does checksum offloading only on TCP packets, so ibmveth calls
skb_checksum_help() for any other protocol.  The bug happens because
the packet is being modified after the DMA map, so we would need a memory
barrier before making the hypervisor call.  Reordering the code so that the
DMA map happens after skb_checksum_help() has the additional advantage of
fixing a DMA map leak if skb_checksum_help() where to fail.

abe787170b mv643xx_eth: enforce multiple-of-8-bytes receive buffer size restriction
The mv643xx_eth hardware ignores the lower three bits of the buffer
size field in receive descriptors, causing the reception of full-sized
packets to fail at some MTUs.  Fix this by rounding the size of
allocated receive buffers up to a multiple of eight bytes.

While we are at it, add a bit of extra space to each receive buffer so
that we can handle multiple vlan tags on ingress.

9e1f377242 mv643xx_eth: fix NULL pointer dereference in rxq_process()
When we are low on memory, the assumption that every descriptor in the
receive ring will have an skbuff associated with it does not hold.

rxq_process() was assuming that if the receive descriptor it is working
on is not owned by the hardware, it can safely be processed and handed
to the networking stack.  But a descriptor in the receive ring not being
owned by the hardware can also happen when we are low on memory and did
not manage to refill the receive ring fully.

This patch changes rxq_process()'s bailout condition from "the first
receive descriptor to be processed is owned by the hardware" to "the
first receive descriptor to be processed is owned by the hardware OR
the number of valid receive descriptors in the ring is zero".

92c70f27d2 mv643xx_eth: fix double add_timer() on the receive oom timer
Commit 12e4ab79cd ("mv643xx_eth: be
more agressive about RX refill") changed the condition for the receive
out-of-memory timer to be scheduled from "the receive ring is empty"
to "the receive ring is not full".

This can lead to a situation where the receive out-of-memory timer is
pending because a previous rxq_refill() didn't manage to refill the
receive ring entirely as a result of being out of memory, and
rxq_refill() is then called again as a side effect of a packet receive
interrupt, and that rxq_refill() call then again does not succeed to
refill the entire receive ring with fresh empty skbuffs because we are
still out of memory, and then tries to call add_timer() on the already
scheduled out-of-memory timer.

This patch fixes this issue by changing the add_timer() call in
rxq_refill() to a mod_timer() call.  If the OOM timer was not already
scheduled, this will behave as before, whereas if it was already
scheduled, this patch will push back its firing time a bit, which is
safe because we've (unsuccessfully) attempted to refill the receive
ring just before we do this.

819ddcafb3 mv643xx_eth: fix NAPI 'rotting packet' issue
When a receive interrupt occurs, mv643xx_eth would first process the
receive descriptors and then ACK the receive interrupt, instead of the
other way round.

This would leave a small race window between processing the last
receive descriptor and clearing the receive interrupt status in which
a new packet could come in, which would then 'rot' in the receive
ring until the next receive interrupt would come in.

Fix this by ACKing (clearing) the receive interrupt condition before
processing the receive descriptors.

f410a1fba7 ipv6: protocol for address routes
This fixes a problem spotted with zebra, but not sure if it is
necessary a kernel problem.  With IPV6 when an address is added to an
interface, Zebra creates a duplicate RIB entry, one as a connected
route, and other as a kernel route.

When an address is added to an interface the RTN_NEWADDR message
causes Zebra to create a connected route. In IPV4 when an address is
added to an interface a RTN_NEWROUTE message is set to user space with
the protocol RTPROT_KERNEL. Zebra ignores these messages, because it
already has the connected route.

The problem is that route created in IPV6 has route protocol ==
RTPROT_BOOT.  Was this a design decision or a bug? This fixes it. Same
patch applies to both net-2.6 and stable.

2540e0511e pkt_sched: Fix qdisc_watchdog() vs. dev_deactivate() race
dev_deactivate() can skip rescheduling of a qdisc by qdisc_watchdog()
or other timer calling netif_schedule() after dev_queue_deactivate().
We prevent this checking aliveness before scheduling the timer. Since
during deactivation the root qdisc is available only as qdisc_sleeping
additional accessor qdisc_root_sleeping() is created.

With feedback from Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

5e739d1752 sctp: fix potential panics in the SCTP-AUTH API.
All of the SCTP-AUTH socket options could cause a panic
if the extension is disabled and the API is envoked.

Additionally, there were some additional assumptions that
certain pointers would always be valid which may not
always be the case.

This patch hardens the API and address all of the crash
scenarios.

82d63fc9e3 cramfs: fix named-pipe handling
After commit a97c9bf33f (fix cramfs
making duplicate entries in inode cache) in kernel 2.6.14, named-pipe
on cramfs does not work properly.

It seems the commit make all named-pipe on cramfs share their inode
(and named-pipe buffer).

Make ..._test() refuse to merge inodes with ->i_ino == 1, take inode setup
back to get_cramfs_inode() and make ->drop_inode() evict ones with ->i_ino
== 1 immediately.

d847471d06 fbdefio: add set_page_dirty handler to deferred IO FB
Fixes kernel BUG at lib/radix-tree.c:473.

Previously the handler was incidentally provided by tmpfs but this was
removed with:

  commit 14fcc23fdc

  Date:   Mon Jul 28 15:46:19 2008 -0700

    tmpfs: fix kernel BUG in shmem_delete_inode

relying on this behaviour was incorrect in any case and the BUG also
appeared when the device node was on an ext3 filesystem.

v2: override a_ops at open() time rather than mmap() time to minimise
races per AKPM's concerns.

b42f931737 rtc: rtc-ds1374: fix 'no irq' case handling
On a PowerPC board with ds1374 RTC I'm getting this error while RTC tries
to probe:

rtc-ds1374 0-0068: unable to request IRQ

This happens because I2C probing code (drivers/of/of_i2c.c) is specifying
IRQ0 for 'no irq' case, which is correct.

The driver handles this incorrectly, though. This patch fixes it.

14bac5acfd mm: xip/ext2 fix block allocation race
XIP can call into get_xip_mem concurrently with the same file,offset with
create=1.  This usually maps down to get_block, which expects the page
lock to prevent such a situation.  This causes ext2 to explode for one
reason or another.

Serialise those calls for the moment.  For common usages today, I suspect
get_xip_mem rarely is called to create new blocks.  In future as XIP
technologies evolve we might need to look at which operations require
scalability, and rework the locking to suit.

538f8ea6c8 mm: xip fix fault vs sparse page invalidate race
XIP has a race between sparse pages being inserted into page tables, and
sparse pages being zapped when its time to put a non-sparse page in.

What can happen is that a process can be left with a dangling sparse page
in a MAP_SHARED mapping, while the rest of the world sees the non-sparse
version.  Ie.  data corruption.

Guard these operations with a seqlock, making fault-in-sparse-pages the
slowpath, and try-to-unmap-sparse-pages the fastpath.
