This patch changes the g_file_storage driver to make the "stall" module parameter generally available; currently it is available only if the testing version of the module has been configured. It also fixes a typo in a comment -- thanks, Pat! Signed-off-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

From: <pageexec@freemail.hu> $subject was fixed in 2.4 already, 2.6 needs it as well. The impact of the bugs is a kernel stack overflow and privilege escalation from CAP_NET_ADMIN via the IP_VS_SO_SET_STARTDAEMON/IP_VS_SO_GET_DAEMON ioctls. People running with 'root=all caps' (i.e., most users) are not really affected (there's nothing to escalate), but SELinux and similar users should take it seriously if they grant CAP_NET_ADMIN to other users.

Patch indents dmfe.txt to look like other docs. It adds a tip about CNET cards using Davicom chipsets. Also it removes parts where it refers to how to build driver out-of-kernel which seems to be cruft from times where the driver was out of the kernel.

This is a fix for the interrupt handler in the defxx driver to use irqreturn_t. Beside the obvious fix of returning a proper status at all, it actually checks board registers as appropriate for determining if an interrupt has been recorded in the bus-specific interface logic. The patch also includes an obvious one-line fix for SET_NETDEV_DEV needed for the EISA variation, for which I've decided there is no point in sending separately. Signed-off-by: Maciej W.

1) netlink_release() should only decrement the hash entry count if the socket was actually hashed. This was causing hash->entries to underflow, which resulting in all kinds of troubles. On 64-bit systems, this would cause the following conditional to erroneously trigger: err = -ENOMEM; if (BITS_PER_LONG > 32 && unlikely(hash->entries >= UINT_MAX)) goto err; 2) netlink_autobind() needs to propagate the error return from netlink_insert(). Otherwise, callers will not see the error as they should and thus try to operate on a socket with a zero pid, which is very bad. However, it should not propagate -EBUSY. If two threads race to autobind the socket, that is fine. This is consistent with the autobind behavior in other protocols. So bug #1 above, combined with this one, resulted in hangs on netlink_sendmsg() calls to the rtnetlink socket. We'd try to do the user sendmsg() with the socket's pid set to zero, later we do a socket lookup using that pid (via the value we stashed away in NETLINK_CB(skb).pid), but that won't give us the user socket, it will give us the rtnetlink socket. So when we try to wake up the receive queue, we dive back into rtnetlink_rcv() which tries to recursively take the rtnetlink semaphore. Thanks to Jakub Jelink for providing backtraces. Also, thanks to Herbert Xu for supplying debugging patches to help track this down, and also finding a mistake in an earlier version of this fix. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

During some performance diagnostics I stumbled on this slightly wasteful code in pcnet_cs.c which I made the patch included at the bottom for (two minor comment fixes included). Improvement: instead of *always* calculating lea 0x2c0(%edx),%ebx and then additionally doing the mov %edx,0xc0(%ebx) addition *if we need it*, we now do the *whole* calculation of mov %edx,0x380(%ebx) *only* if we need it. This even manages to save us a whole 16-byte alignment buffer loss in this compilation case. Result: slightly improves IRQ handler performance in both shared and non-shared IRQ case, which should make my rusty P3/700 a slight bit happier.

The spin loop in 8139cp is limited to 100 iterations when pulling hardware stats. There is no allowance for processor speed so on a fast machine, the stats may not be available that fast. Also, if the board doesn't return soon enough make sure turn the address back off to prevent later updates when memory has gone away.

Add support for alternate slave selection algorithms to bonding balance-xor and 802.3ad modes. Default mode (what we have now: xor of MAC addresses) is "layer2", new choice is "layer3+4", using IP and port information for hashing to select peer. Originally submitted by Jason Gabler for balance-xor mode; modified by Jay Vosburgh to additionally support 802.3ad mode. Jason's original comment is as follows: The attached patch to the Linux Etherchannel Bonding driver modifies the driver's "balance-xor" mode as follows: - alternate hashing policy support for mode 2 * Added kernel parameter "xmit_policy" to allow the specification of different hashing policies for mode 2. The original mode 2 policy is the default, now found in xmit_hash_policy_layer2(). * Added xmit_hash_policy_layer34() This patch was inspired by hashing policies implemented by Cisco, Foundry and IBM, which are explained in Foundry documentation found at: http://www.foundrynet.com/services/documentation/sribcg/Trunking.html#112750Signed-off-by: Jason Gabler <jygabler@lbl.gov> Signed-off-by: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com>

Patch from Lennert Buytenhek All ixdp platforms currently have a cpld mapped in at 0xfafff000. Since this address is not 1M-aligned, a regular page mapping will be used instead of a section mapping, which opens up the possibility of triggering ixp2400 erratum #66 as we only do the XCB=101 workaround thing for section mappings. There is still a lot of space higher up in the virtual memory map for 1M mappings, so move the cpld mapping to 0xfe000000 and make it 1M big so that a section mapping will be used for it.
