David Howells 0c93d8e4d3 FRV: Move STACK_TOP_MAX up [try #2]
Move STACK_TOP_MAX up so that we don't try moving the stack above it as that
causes setup_arg_pages() to malfunction.

David Howells a31b9dd8ed FRV: Handle update_mmu_cache() being called when current->mm is NULL [try #2]
Handle update_mmu_cache() being called when current->mm is NULL.

We cache static TLB mappings for the current page table in DAMPR4 and DAMPR5
on the theory that the next data lookup is likely to be in the same general
region, and thus is likely to be mapped by the same page table.  However, we
can't get this information if we can't access the appropriate mm_struct.

If current->mm is NULL, we just clear the cache in the knowledge that the TLB
miss handlers will load it.

Roman Zippel 76b0c26af2 HFS+: fix unlink of links
Some time ago while attempting to handle invalid link counts, I botched
the unlink of links itself, so this patch fixes this now correctly, so
that only the link count of nodes that don't point to links is ignored.
Thanks to Vlado Plaga <rechner@vlado-do.de> to notify me of this

David S. Miller 951e07c930 [IPV4]: Fix byte value boundary check in do_ip_getsockopt().
This fixes kernel bugzilla 10371.

As reported by M.Piechaczek@osmosys.tv, if we try to grab a
char sized socket option value, as in:

  unsigned char ttl = 255;
  socklen_t     len = sizeof(ttl);
  setsockopt(socket, IPPROTO_IP, IP_MULTICAST_TTL, &ttl, &len);

  getsockopt(socket, IPPROTO_IP, IP_MULTICAST_TTL, &ttl, &len);

The ttl returned will be wrong on big-endian, and on both little-
endian and big-endian the next three bytes in userspace are written
with garbage.

It's because of this test in do_ip_getsockopt():

	if (len < sizeof(int) && len > 0 && val>=0 && val<255) {

It should allow a 'val' of 255 to pass here, but it doesn't so it
copies a full 'int' back to userspace.

On little-endian that will write the correct value into the location
but it spams on the next three bytes in userspace.  On big endian it
writes the wrong value into the location and spams the next three
bytes.

Fabio Checconi 4faa3c8150 cfq-iosched: do not leak ioc_data across iosched switches
When switching scheduler from cfq, cfq_exit_queue() does not clear
ioc->ioc_data, leaving a dangling pointer that can deceive the following
lookups when the iosched is switched back to cfq.  The pattern that can
trigger that is the following:

    - elevator switch from cfq to something else;
    - module unloading, with elv_unregister() that calls cfq_free_io_context()
      on ioc freeing the cic (via the .trim op);
    - module gets reloaded and the elevator switches back to cfq;
    - reallocation of a cic at the same address as before (with a valid key).

To fix it just assign NULL to ioc_data in __cfq_exit_single_io_context(),
that is called from the regular exit path and from the elevator switching
code.  The only path that frees a cic and is not covered is the error handling
one, but cic's freed in this way are never cached in ioc_data.

Eric Sandeen e6957ea484 [XFS] Ensure "both" features2 slots are consistent
Since older kernels may look in the sb_bad_features2 slot for flags,
rather than zeroing it out on fixup, we should make it equal to the
sb_features2 value.

Also, if the ATTR2 flag was not found prior to features2 fixup, it was not
set in the mount flags, so re-check after the fixup so that the current
session will use the feature.

Also fix up the comments to reflect these changes.

David Chinner ee1c090825 [XFS] Fix superblock features2 field alignment problem
Due to the xfs_dsb_t structure not being 64 bit aligned, the last field of
the on-disk superblock can vary in location This causes problems when the
filesystem gets moved to a different platform, or there is a 32 bit
userspace and 64 bit kernel.

This patch detects the defect at mount time, logs a warning such as:

XFS: correcting sb_features alignment problem

in dmesg and corrects the problem so that everything is OK. it also
blacklists the bad field in the superblock so it does not get used for
something else later on.

David S. Miller d786a4a659 [SPARC]: Fix several regset and ptrace bugs.
1) ptrace should pass 'current' to task_user_regset_view()

2) When fetching general registers using a 64-bit view, and
   the target is 32-bit, we have to convert.

3) Skip the whole register window get/set code block if
   the user isn't asking to access anything in there.

   Otherwise we have problems if the user doesn't have
   an address space setup.  Fetching ptrace register is
   still valid at such a time, and ptrace does not try
   to access the register window area of the regset.

Steven Rostedt f4be31ec96 pop previous section in alternative.c
gcc expects all toplevel assembly to return to the original section type.
The code in alteranative.c does not do this. This caused some strange bugs
in sched-devel where code would end up in the .rodata section and when
the kernel sets the NX bit on all .rodata, the kernel would crash when
executing this code.

This patch adds a .previous marker to return the code back to the
original section.

Credit goes to Andrew Pinski for telling me it wasn't a gcc bug but a
bug in the toplevel asm code in the kernel.  ;-)

I (wrongly) assumed that nfs_xdev_get_sb() would not ever share a superblock

the case and we could fall over a BUG_ON() that wasn't a BUG at all.  Since
there is little we can do to reconcile different mount options this patch
just leaves the sb alone and the first set of options wins.

snd_es1968_ac97_read() calls snd_es1968_ac97_wait() first outside a locked

snd_es1968_ac97_wait() has a polling loop with a cond_resched() inside it..
which sleeps, so the second call is invalid.

This patch adds a version of the wait function that just pure polls.  While
this is not very elegant in principle, it's very likely the easiest thing to
do here, we already checked if the chip was ready (while yielding) just
before, so it is very unlikely to take a long time here.

This should be N_NORMAL_MEMORY.

N_NORMAL_MEMORY is "true" if a node has memory for the kernel.  N_HIGH_MEMORY
is "true" if a node has memory for HIGHMEM.  (If CONFIG_HIGHMEM=n, always
"true")

This check is used for testing whether we can use kmalloc_node() on a node.
Then, if there is a node which only contains HIGHMEM, the system will call
kmalloc_node() which doesn't contain memory for the kernel.  If it happens
under SLUB, the kernel will panic.  I think this only happens on x86_32-numa.

Pete Zaitcev ef45cb624b ub: remove BUG() after __blk_end_request and fix the condition causing it
When __blk_end_request returns nonzero, it means that the request was
not completely processed and some BIOs are still attached. Since we
have dequeued it by that time, it means leaking requests and hanging
processes, which is why BUG() was in there. In ub this happens if
a packet request ends normally, but with residue (e.g. when scsi_id
issues INQUIRY).

The fix is to make sure that arguments passed to __blk_end_request
are correct: the full request length and not just transferred length.
The transferred length is indicated to applications by adjusting
rq->data_len with old, unchanged code outside of this patch.

Jeff Layton 66d3aac041 NFS: initialize flags field in nfs_open_context
The nfs_open_context struct had a "flags" field added recently, but the
allocator isn't initializing it. It also looks like the allocator isn't
initializing the mode or list either, but they seem to be overwritten
by the caller, so that's less of an issue.

Trond Myklebust daeba89d43 SUNRPC: don't call flush_dcache_page() with an invalid pointer
Fix a problem in _copy_to_pages(), whereby it may call flush_dcache_page()
with an invalid pointer due to the fact that 'pgto' gets incremented
beyond the end of the page array. Fix is to exit the loop without this
unnecessary increment of pgto.

David S. Miller 21f644f3ea [NET]: Undo code bloat in hot paths due to print_mac().
If print_mac() is used inside of a pr_debug() the compiler
can't see that the call is redundant so still performs it
even of pr_debug() ends up being a nop.

So don't use print_mac() in such cases in hot code paths,
use MAC_FMT et al. instead.

As noted by Joe Perches, pr_debug() could be modified to
handle this better, but that is a change to an interface
used by the entire kernel and thus needs to be validated
carefully.  This here is thus the less risky fix for
2.6.25

Ilpo Järvinen 6adb4f733e [TCP]: Don't allow FRTO to take place while MTU is being probed
MTU probe can cause some remedies for FRTO because the normal
packet ordering may be violated allowing FRTO to make a wrong
decision (it might not be that serious threat for anything
though). Thus it's safer to not run FRTO while MTU probe is
underway.

It seems that the basic FRTO variant should also look for an
skb at probe_seq.start to check if that's retransmitted one
but I didn't implement it now (plain seqno in window check
isn't robust against wraparounds).

Ilpo Järvinen 882bebaaca [TCP]: tcp_simple_retransmit can cause S+L
This fixes Bugzilla #10384

tcp_simple_retransmit does L increment without any checking
whatsoever for overflowing S+L when Reno is in use.

The simplest scenario I can currently think of is rather
complex in practice (there might be some more straightforward
cases though). Ie., if mss is reduced during mtu probing, it
may end up marking everything lost and if some duplicate ACKs
arrived prior to that sacked_out will be non-zero as well,
leading to S+L > packets_out, tcp_clean_rtx_queue on the next
cumulative ACK or tcp_fastretrans_alert on the next duplicate
ACK will fix the S counter.

More straightforward (but questionable) solution would be to
just call tcp_reset_reno_sack() in tcp_simple_retransmit but
it would negatively impact the probe's retransmission, ie.,
the retransmissions would not occur if some duplicate ACKs
had arrived.

So I had to add reno sacked_out reseting to CA_Loss state
when the first cumulative ACK arrives (this stale sacked_out
might actually be the explanation for the reports of left_out
overflows in kernel prior to 2.6.23 and S+L overflow reports
of 2.6.24). However, this alone won't be enough to fix kernel
before 2.6.24 because it is building on top of the commit
1b6d427bb7 ([TCP]: Reduce sacked_out with reno when purging
write_queue) to keep the sacked_out from overflowing.

Ilpo Järvinen c137f3dda0 [TCP]: Fix NewReno's fast rexmit/recovery problems with GSOed skb
Fixes a long-standing bug which makes NewReno recovery crippled.
With GSO the whole head skb was marked as LOST which is in
violation of NewReno procedure that only wants to mark one packet
and ended up breaking our TCP code by causing counter overflow
because our code was built on top of assumption about valid
NewReno procedure. This manifested as triggering a WARN_ON for
the overflow in a number of places.

It seems relatively safe alternative to just do nothing if
tcp_fragment fails due to oom because another duplicate ACK is
likely to be received soon and the fragmentation will be retried.

Special thanks goes to Soeren Sonnenburg <kernel@nn7.de> who was
lucky enough to be able to reproduce this so that the warning
for the overflow was hit. It's not as easy task as it seems even
if this bug happens quite often because the amount of outstanding
data is pretty significant for the mismarkings to lead to an
overflow.

Because it's very late in 2.6.25-rc cycle (if this even makes in
time), I didn't want to touch anything with SACK enabled here.
Fragmenting might be useful for it as well but it's more or less
a policy decision rather than mandatory fix. Thus there's no need
to rush and we can postpone considering tcp_fragment with SACK
for 2.6.26.

In 2.6.24 and earlier, this very same bug existed but the effect
is slightly different because of a small changes in the if
conditions that fit to the patch's context. With them nothing
got lost marker and thus no retransmissions happened.

Ilpo Järvinen 1b69d74539 [TCP]: Restore 2.6.24 mark_head_lost behavior for newreno/fack
The fast retransmission can be forced locally to the rfc3517
branch in tcp_update_scoreboard instead of making such fragile
constructs deeper in tcp_mark_head_lost.

This is necessary for the next patch which must not have
loopholes for cnt > packets check. As one can notice,
readability got some improvements too because of this :-).
