If we fail past the aio_setup_ring(), we need to destroy the mapping. We don't need to care about anybody having found ctx, or added requests to it, since the last failure exit is exactly the failure to make ctx visible to lookups.

teach ->mremap() method to return an error and have it fail for aio mappings in process of being killed Note that in case of ->mremap() failure we need to undo move_page_tables() we'd already done; we could call ->mremap() first, but then the failure of move_page_tables() would require undoing whatever _successful_ ->mremap() has done, which would be a lot more headache in general.

Both the start and length arguments for ib_umem_get are controlled by the user.

When running in a kdump kernel, it's very likely that due to sync. loss with management firmware the first PCI function to probe and reach the previous unload flow would decide it can reset the chip and continue onward. While doing so, it will only close its own Rx port. On a 4-port device where 2nd port on engine is a 1g-port, the 2nd port would allow ingress traffic after the chip is reset [assuming it was active on the first kernel]. This would later cause a HW attention. This changes driver flow to close both ports' 1g capabilities during the previous driver unload flow prior to the chip reset.

There's an issue with the way the RX A-MPDU reorder timer is deleted that can cause a kernel crash like this: * tid_rx is removed - call_rcu(ieee80211_free_tid_rx) * station is destroyed * reorder timer fires before ieee80211_free_tid_rx() runs, accessing the station, thus potentially crashing due to the use-after-free The station deletion is protected by synchronize_net(), but that isn't enough -- ieee80211_free_tid_rx() need not have run when that returns (it deletes the timer.) We could use rcu_barrier() instead of synchronize_net(), but that's much more expensive. Instead, to fix this, add a field tracking that the session is being deleted. In this case, the only re-arming of the timer happens with the reorder spinlock held, so make that code not rearm it if the session is being deleted and also delete the timer after setting that field. This ensures the timer cannot fire after ___ieee80211_stop_rx_ba_session() returns, which fixes the problem. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

We currently have a problem that SELinux policy is being enforced when creating debugfs files. If a debugfs file is created as a side effect of doing some syscall, then that creation can fail if the SELinux policy for that process prevents it. This seems wrong. We don't do that for files under /proc, for instance, so Bruce has proposed a patch to fix that. While discussing that patch however, Greg K.H. stated: "No kernel code should care / fail if a debugfs function fails, so please fix up the sunrpc code first." This patch converts all of the sunrpc debugfs setup code to be void return functins, and the callers to not look for errors from those functions. This should allow rpc_clnt and rpc_xprt creation to work, even if the kernel fails to create debugfs files for some reason. Symptoms were failing krb5 mounts on systems using gss-proxy and selinux.
