[PATCH] bcm43xx: Fix for 4311 and 02/07/07 specification changes

The specifications for the bcm43xx driver have been modified. This
patch incorporates these changes in the code, which results in the
BCM4311 and BCM4312 working. The name of one of the PHY parameters,
previously known as "version", has been changed to "analog", short for
"analog core version" .

[PATCH] prism54: correct assignment of DOT1XENABLE in WE-19 codepaths

Correct assignment of DOT1XENABLE in WE-19 codepaths.
RX_UNENCRYPTED_EAPOL = 1 really means setting DOT1XENABLE _off_, and
vice versa.  The original WE-19 patch erroneously reversed that.  This
patch fixes association with unencrypted and WEP networks when using
wpa_supplicant.

It also adds two missing break statements that, left out, could result
in incorrect card configuration.

[PATCH] kexec: Avoid migration of already disabled irqs (ia64)

This patch fixes up ia64 kexec support for HP rx2620 hardware.  It does
this by skipping migration of already disabled irqs.  This is most likely a
problem on other ia64 platforms as well, but I've only been able to
reproduce it on one machine so far.

The full story is that handle_bad_irq() gets invoked before starting the
new kernel without this patch.  This seems to happen when fixup_irqs()
calls generic_handle_irq() on already migrated (and disabled) irqs.  So by
avoiding migration of disabled irqs we stay away of handle_bad_irq().

The code has been tested on three different ia64 machines, all with good
results.  It is possible to trigger the same bug by offlining a processor
using echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/online.

See report: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=116599593200888&w=2

flush_workqueue() is not allowed to be called in the softirq context.
However, aio_complete() called from I/O interrupt can potentially call
put_ioctx with last ref count on ioctx and triggers bug.  It is simply
incorrect to perform ioctx freeing from aio_complete.

The bug is trigger-able from a race between io_destroy() and aio_complete().
A possible scenario:

cpu0                               cpu1
io_destroy                         aio_complete
  wait_for_all_aios {                __aio_put_req
     ...                                 ctx->reqs_active--;
     if (!ctx->reqs_active)
        return;
  }
  ...
  put_ioctx(ioctx)

                                     put_ioctx(ctx);
                                        __put_ioctx
                                          bam! Bug trigger!

The real problem is that the condition check of ctx->reqs_active in
wait_for_all_aios() is incorrect that access to reqs_active is not
being properly protected by spin lock.

This patch adds that protective spin lock, and at the same time removes
all duplicate ref counting for each kiocb as reqs_active is already used
as a ref count for each active ioctx.  This also ensures that buggy call
to flush_workqueue() in softirq context is eliminated.

[SCSI] sd: udev accessing an uninitialized scsi_disk field results in a crash

sd_probe() calls class_device_add() even before initializing the
sdkp->device variable. class_device_add() eventually results in the user mode
udev program to be called. udev program can read the the allow_restart
attribute of the newly created scsi device. This is resulting in a crash as
the show function for allow_restart (i.e sd_show_allow_restart) returns the
attribute value by reading the sdkp->device->allow_restart variable. As the
sdkp->device is not initialized before calling the user mode hotplug helper,
this results in a crash.
The patch below solves it by calling class_device_add() only after the
necessary fields in the scsi_disk structure are initialized properly.

ahci/pata_jmicron: fix JMicron quirk

For all JMicrons except for 361 and 368, AHCI mode enable bits in the
Control(1) should be set.  This used to be done in both ahci and
pata_jmicron but while moving programming to PCI quirk, it was removed
from ahci part while still left in pata_jmicron.

The implemented JMicron PCI quirk was incorrect in that it didn't
program AHCI mode enable bits.  If pata_jmicron is loaded first and
programs those bits, the ahci ports work; otherwise, ahci device
detection fails miserably.

This patch makes JMicron PCI quirk clear SATA IDE mode bits and set
AHCI mode bits and remove the respective part from pata_jmicron.
Tested on JMB361, 363 and 368.

Revert "[PATCH] fix typo in geode_configre()@cyrix.c"

This reverts commit e4f0ae0ea63caceff37a13f281a72652b7ea71ba.

It's not wrong, but it's not right either, and everybody seems to agree
that the right fix is probably to do the ccr3 write after the ccr4 one
(and that we also should clean it up a bit).  And after that we need to
really validate that all the bits that we write to ccr4 actually do
work.

The old 2.6.19 code was insane, and basically didn't change ccr4 at all
(even though it certainly looks like it was the *intent* to do so).  So
let's revert the change that may fix things, just because it's not what
was actually ever tested when the code was written, even if it _was_ the
intent.

There's a discussion on http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/1/9/63 that was
started by the patch that now gets reverted, and that discussion may
well contain the proper long-term fix.

[PATCH] __crc_... is intended to be absolute

i386 boot/compressed/relocs checks for absolute symbols and warns about
unexpected ones.  If you build with modversions, you get ~2500 warnings
about __crc_<symbol>.  These suckers are really absolute symbols - we
do _not_ want to modify them on relocation.

They are generated by genksyms - EXPORT_... generates a weak alias, then
genksyms produces an ld script with __crc_<symbol> = <checksum> and it's
fed to ld to produce the final object file.  Their only use is to match
kernel and module at modprobe time; they _must_ be absolute.

boot/compressed/relocs has a whitelist of known absolute symbols, but
it doesn't know about __crc_... stuff.  As the result, we get shitloads
of false positives on any ld(1) version.

[SCTP]: Force update of the rto when processing HB-ACK

When processing a HEARTBEAT-ACK it's possible that the transport rto
timers will not be updated because a prior T3-RTX processing would
have cleared the rto_pending flag on the transport.  However, if
we received a valid HEARTBEAT-ACK, we want to force update the
rto variables, so re-set the rto_pending flag before calling
sctp_transport_update_rto().

[IPV6]: fix BUG of ndisc_send_redirect()

  When I tested IPv6 redirect function about kernel 2.6.19.1, and found
that the kernel can send redirect packets whose target address is global
address, and the target is not the actual endpoint of communication.

  But the criteria conform to RFC2461, the target address defines as
following:

  Target Address An IP address that is a better first hop to use for
                 he ICMP Destination Address.  When the target is
                 the actual endpoint of communication, i.e., the
                 destination is a neighbor, the Target Address field
                 MUST contain the same value as the ICMP Destination
                 Address field.  Otherwise the target is a better
                 first-hop router and the Target Address MUST be the
                 router's link-local address so that hosts can
                 uniquely identify routers.

According to this definition, when a router redirect to a host, the
target address either the better first-hop router's link-local address
or the same as the ICMP destination address field. But the function of
ndisc_send_redirect() in net/ipv6/ndisc.c, does not check the target
address correctly.

There is another definition about receive Redirect message in RFC2461:

8.1.  Validation of Redirect Messages

   A host MUST silently discard any received Redirect message that does
   not satisfy all of the following validity checks:
   ......
   - The ICMP Target Address is either a link-local address (when
     redirected to a router) or the same as the ICMP Destination
     Address (when redirected to the on-link destination).
   ......

And the receive redirect function of ndisc_redirect_rcv() implemented
this definition, checks the target address correctly.
    if (ipv6_addr_equal(dest, target)) {
        on_link = 1;
    } else if (!(ipv6_addr_type(target) & IPV6_ADDR_LINKLOCAL)) {
        ND_PRINTK2(KERN_WARNING
               "ICMPv6 Redirect: target address is not link-local.\n");
        return;
    }

So, I think the send redirect function must check the target address
also.

[NETFILTER]: xt_connbytes: fix division by zero

When the packet counter of a connection is zero a division by zero
occurs in div64_64(). Fix that by using zero as average value, which
is correct as long as the packet counter didn't overflow, at which
point we have lost anyway.

Additionally we're probably going to go back to 64 bit counters
in 2.6.21.

Revert "net: ifb error path loop fix"

This reverts commit 0c0b3ae68ec93b1db5c637d294647d1cca0df763.

Quoth David:

  "Jeff, please revert

   It's wrong.  We had a lengthy analysis of this piece of code
   several months ago, and it is correct.

   Consider, if we run the loop and we get an error
   the following happens:

   1) attempt of ifb_init_one(i) fails, therefore we should
      not try to "ifb_free_one()" on "i" since it failed
   2) the loop iteration first increments "i", then it
      check for error

   Therefore we must decrement "i" twice before the first
   free during the cleanup.  One to "undo" the for() loop
   increment, and one to "skip" the ifb_init_one() case which
   failed."

[PATCH] namespaces: fix task exit disaster

This is based on a patch by Eric W.  Biederman, who pointed out that pid
namespaces are still fake, and we only have one ever active.

So for the time being, we can modify any code which could access
tsk->nsproxy->pid_ns during task exit to just use &init_pid_ns instead,
and move the exit_task_namespaces call in do_exit() back above
exit_notify(), so that an exiting nfs server has a valid tsk->sighand to
work with.

Long term, pulling pid_ns out of nsproxy might be the cleanest solution.
