Since "mac80211: make off-channel work generic" drivers have not been notified of configuration changes after association or authentication. This caused more dependence on current state to ensure driver will be notified when configuration changes occur. One such problem arises if off-channel is in progress when HT information changes. Since HT is only enabled on the "oper_channel" the driver will never be notified of this change. Usually the driver is notified soon after of a BSS information change (BSS_CHANGED_HT) ... but since the driver did not get a notification that this is a HT channel the new BSS information does not make sense. Fix this by also changing the off-channel information when HT is enabled and thus cause driver to be notified correctly. This fixes a problem in 4965 when associated with 5GHz 40MHz channel. Without this patch the system can associate but is unable to transfer any data, not even ping.

The af_packet protocol is used by Perl to do ioctls as reported by Stephane Riviere: "Net::RawIP relies on SIOCGIFADDR et SIOCGIFHWADDR to get the IP and MAC addresses of the network interface." But in a new network namespace these ioctl fail because it is disabled for a namespace different from the init_net_ns. These two lines should not be there as af_inet and af_packet are namespace aware since a long time now. I suppose we forget to remove these lines because we sent the af_packet first, before af_inet was supported.

Michael S. Tsirkin authored
The following situation was observed in the field: tap1 sends packets, tap2 does not consume them, as a result tap1 can not be closed. This happens because tun/tap devices can hang on to skbs undefinitely. As noted by Herbert, possible solutions include a timeout followed by a copy/change of ownership of the skb, or always copying/changing ownership if we're going into a hostile device. This patch implements the second approach. Note: one issue still remaining is that since skbs keep reference to tun socket and tun socket has a reference to tun device, we won't flush backlog, instead simply waiting for all skbs to get transmitted. At least this is not user-triggerable, and this was not reported in practice, my assumption is other devices besides tap complete an skb within finite time after it has been queued. A possible solution for the second issue would not to have socket reference the device, instead, implement dev->destructor for tun, and wait for all skbs to complete there, but this needs some thought, probably too risky for 2.6.34.

The current algorithm will sometimes "detect" that more chains are enabled than are really present in the device because, for unknown reasons, the ucode sends up all-zeroes signal values. The simplest way of solving this is to restrict the active chains mask to the chains we know are really present on the device. This fixes a bug with some devices where, since sometimes more chains are enabled than really present, the system would hang.

radix_tree_tag_get() is not safe to use concurrently with radix_tree_tag_set() or radix_tree_tag_clear(). The problem is that the double tag_get() in radix_tree_tag_get(): if (!tag_get(node, tag, offset)) saw_unset_tag = 1; if (height == 1) { int ret = tag_get(node, tag, offset); may see the value change due to the action of set/clear. RCU is no protection against this as no pointers are being changed, no nodes are being replaced according to a COW protocol - set/clear alter the node directly. The documentation in linux/radix-tree.h, however, says that radix_tree_tag_get() is an exception to the rule that "any function modifying the tree or tags (...) must exclude other modifications, and exclude any functions reading the tree". The problem is that the next statement in radix_tree_tag_get() checks that the tag doesn't vary over time: BUG_ON(ret && saw_unset_tag); This has been seen happening in FS-Cache: https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-cachefs/2010-April/msg00013.html To this end, remove the BUG_ON() from radix_tree_tag_get() and note in various comments that the value of the tag may change whilst the RCU read lock is held, and thus that the return value of radix_tree_tag_get() may not be relied upon unless radix_tree_tag_set/clear() and radix_tree_delete() are excluded from running concurrently with it.

The default size of the vmalloc area is currently 1 GB. The memory resource controller uses about 10 MB of vmalloc space per gigabyte of memory.

commit 6a985c61 ([S390] s390: use change recording override for kernel mapping) deactivated the change bit recording for the kernel mapping to improve the performance. This works most of the time, but there are cases (e.g. kernel runs in home space, futex atomic compare xcmg) where we modify user memory with the kernel mapping instead of the user mapping. Instead of fixing these cases, this patch just deactivates change bit override to avoid future problems with other kernel code that might use the kernel mapping for user memory.

If a machine check interrupts the io interrupt handler on one of the instructions between io_return and io_leave the critical section cleanup code will move the return psw to io_work_loop. By doing that the switch from the asynchronous interrupt stack to the process stack is skipped. If e.g. TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set things break because the scheduler is called with the asynchronous interrupts stack. Moving the psw back to io_return instead fixes the problem.
