This ain't pretty. Real fix under discussion.

Here's a patch for 2.6.11-rc5 that a lot of cdc-acm driver users are clamoring for. There's a bug introduced in a cleanup which will lead to a race making reopenings fail.

The attached patch makes keyctl() use the correct argument when invoking the KEYCTL_JOIN_SESSION_KEYRING function. I'm not sure how this evaded testing before, but I suspect the compiler was kind and made both argument registers hold the same value. Thanks to Kevin Coffman <kwc@citi.umich.edu> for spotting this.

This fixes a potentially bad (although very rarely triggered) bug in the ppc64 hugepage code. hpte_update() did not correctly calculate the address for hugepages, so pte_clear() (which we use for hugepage ptes as well as normal ones) would not correctly flush the hash page table entry. Under the right circumstances this could potentially lead to duplicate hash entries, which is very bad. davem's upcoming patch to pass the virtual address directly to set_pte() and its ilk will obsolete this, but this is bad enough it should probably be fixed in the meantime.

IRQ races during change of mtu - NAPI poll must be enabled prior to IRQ activation or the IRQ handler will not know what to do with an incoming packet; - rtl8169_down() needs to try twice to sync with the IRQ handler when it is not issued under !netif_running() protection. Both changes make it safe to request a change of mtu on a live device. Signed-off-by: Francois Romieu <romieu@fr.zoreil.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>

Some futex functions do get_user calls while holding mmap_sem for reading. If get_user() faults, and another thread happens to be in mmap (or somewhere else holding waiting on down_write for the same semaphore), then do_page_fault will deadlock. Most architectures seem to be exposed to this. To avoid it, make sure the page is available. If not, release the semaphore, fault it in and retry. I also found another exposure by inspection, moving some of the code around avoids the possible deadlock there.

Advanced SATA drivers should not (and cannot) use the basic PCI IDE hooks for checking the Status and Error registers, as these registers are either in non-standard locations, or simply don't exist. In the error handling path, libata was unconditionally calling some PCI IDE hardware bitbanging functions, which would cause an oops in the AHCI driver and any other advanced libata driver.

Not that anybody cares about the sign, but the signed type does the wrong thing for right shifts. Which we had.

It feels like 2.6.11 is right around the corner. I would like to disable ALPS suport for some devices we don't know how to handle properly yet to cut down on number of complaints that we broke mouse support.

Reworking the ppc32 mm helps me find interesting bugs in the existing bug, well, brown paper bag for me, I made this one a while ago. The routine flush_hash_one_pte() used by ptep_test_and_clear_young() wasn't properly recaclulating the vaddr from the pte pointer & page->index. The result is that we probably never flushed things from the hash, so that's at least the _second_ bug affecting ptep_test_and_clear_young(), swap on ppc32 must have been really broken :( This fixes it.

Christoph Lameter's patch that change page allocators to use GFP_ZERO broke ppc32 in a subtle way. Our allocator is designed to work before mem_init_done, in which cases it uses a ppc specific early_get_page() which doesn't return zeroed pages. However, he removed the call to clear_page() unconditionally, thus causing the kernel initial page tables to have random data in them. They are initialized with set_pte, which means it's _mostly_ harmless, except that set_pte on ppc32 preserves the _PAGE_HASHPTE bit, thus we end up with random bits there, which can cause issues with further manipulation of the kernel page tables and will slow down all hash faults to them causing unnecessary searches.

The following moves all includes <linux/fs.h> (except <linux/ioctl.h> and <linux/config.h> down to below the existing __KERNEL__ test. None of these includes are needed by the user-visible portions of the header, and in some cases can cause userland apps to break. For example, LTP and sash with an empty <linux/autoconf.h> will fail thusly: cc -Wall -I../../include -g -Wall -I../../../../include -Wall setrlimit02.c -L../../../../lib -lltp -o setrlimit02 In file included from /usr/include/asm/atomic.h:6, from /usr/include/linux/fs.h:20, from setrlimit02.c:46: /usr/include/asm/processor.h:68: error: `CONFIG_X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT' undeclared here (not in a function) /usr/include/asm/processor.h:68: error: requested alignment is not a constant Build/run tested with a glibc rebuild as well.

Various routines were putting a full struct tcp_sock on the local stack. What they really wanted was a subset of this information when doing TCP options processing when we only have a mini-socket (for example in SYN-RECVD and TIME_WAIT states). Therefore pull out the needed information into a sub-struct and use that in the TCP options processing routines.

The paca holds a shadow of the context struct, used for the real mode SLB handler. When we open up a new segment we have to sync up the paca copy otherwise we will instantiate small page SLB entries until the next context switch (at which point we resync the paca copy).

The BIC TCP cwnd problem as identified by Yee-Ting Li and Doug Leith is that the computation is recalc_ssthresh is incorrect and BICTCP_1_OVER_BETA/2 should be BICTCP_1_OVER_BETA*2. My fix is to implement the code from BIC TCP 1.1 which uses a sysctl to set the beta. There are a few variable name changes from the 1.1 code, and made the scaling factor a #define instead of hardcoded. I validated this using netem and kprobes, for more details see http://developer.osdl.org/shemminger/bic-beta-patch.pdfSigned-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S.
