a430a43d08 [NET] gso: Fix up GSO packets with broken checksums
Certain subsystems in the stack (e.g., netfilter) can break the partial
checksum on GSO packets.  Until they're fixed, this patch allows this to
work by recomputing the partial checksums through the GSO mechanism.

Once they've all been converted to update the partial checksum instead of
clearing it, this workaround can be removed.

1252ecf63f [ATM]: fix possible recursive locking in skb_migrate()
ok this is a real potential deadlock in a way, it takes two locks of 2
skbuffs without doing any kind of lock ordering; I think the following
patch should fix it. Just sort the lock taking order by address of the
skb.. it's not pretty but it's the best this can do in a minimally

26dab8930b [PKT_SCHED]: Fix illegal memory dereferences when dumping actions
The TCA_ACT_KIND attribute is used without checking its

The use of strcmp() in tc_lookup_action_n() isn't safe

WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.17-mm2/kernel/net/ieee80211/ieee80211.ko
needs unknown symbol wireless_spy_update

Someone removed the `#ifdef CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT' from around the callsite
in net/ieee80211/ieee80211_rx.c and didn't update Kconfig appropriately.

The offending patchset seems to be 35c14b855f
which is tittled

  [PATCH] ieee80211: remove unnecessary CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT checking

After a quick look it seems that wireless_spy_update() lives in
net/core/wirless.c, and that file is only compiled if
CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT is set. Perhaps this is Kconig work, but
in the mean time here is a reversal of the recent change.

cb74c432e3 [PATCH] SoftMAC: Prevent multiple authentication attempts on the same network
This patch addresses the "No queue exists" messages commonly seen during
authentication and associating.  These appear due to scheduling multiple
authentication attempts on the same network.  To prevent this, I added a
flag to stop multiple authentication attempts by the association layer.
I also added a check to the wx handler to see if we're connecting to a
different network than the one already in progress.  This scenario was
causing multiple requests on the same network because the network BSSID
was not being updated despite the fact that the ESSID changed.

6d41e26510 [PATCH] 2.6.17 missing a call to ieee80211softmac_capabilities from ieee80211softmac_assoc_req
In commit ba9b28d19a, routine
ieee80211softmac_capabilities was added to ieee80211softmac_io.c. As
denoted by its name, it completes the capabilities IE that is
needed in the associate and reassociate requests sent to the
AP. For at least one AP, the Linksys WRT54G V5, the capabilities
field must set the 'short preamble' bit or the AP refuses to
associate. In the commit noted above, there is a call to the
new routine from ieee80211softmac_reassoc_req, but not from
ieee80211softmac_assoc_req. This patch fixes that oversight.

As noted in the subject, v2.6.17 is affected. My bcm43xx card had been
unable to associate since I was forced to buy a new AP. I finally was
able to get a packet dump and traced the problem to the capabilities
info. Although I had heard that a patch was "floating around", I had
not seen it before 2.6.17 was released. As this bug does not affect
security and I seem to have the only AP affected by it, there should
be no problem in leaving it for 2.6.18.

a5b5bb9a05 [PATCH] lockdep: annotate sk_locks
Teach sk_lock semantics to the lock validator.  In the softirq path the
slock has mutex_trylock()+mutex_unlock() semantics, in the process context
sock_lock() case it has mutex_lock()/mutex_unlock() semantics.

Thus we treat sock_owned_by_user() flagged areas as an exclusion area too,
not just those areas covered by a held sk_lock.slock.

Effect on non-lockdep kernels: minimal, sk_lock_sock_init() has been turned
into an inline function.

c6573c2904 [PATCH] lockdep: annotate sunrpc code
Add i_mutex ordering annotations to the sunrpc rpc_pipe code.  This code has 3
levels of i_mutex hierarchy in some cases: parent dir, client dir and file

I_MUTEX_NORMAL

This patch applies this ordering annotation to the various functions.  This is
in line with the VFS expected ordering where it is always OK to lock a child
after locking a parent; the sunrpc code is very diligent in doing this
correctly.

The patch below should fix the deadlock, albeit I suspect it's not the
"right" fix; the right fix may well be to move the rx processing in bcm43xx
to softirq context.  [it's debatable, ipw2200 hit this exact same bug; at
some point it's better to bite the bullet and move this to the common layer
as my patch below does]

Make the nl_table_lock irq-safe; it's taken for read in various netlink
functions, including functions that several wireless drivers (ipw2200,
bcm43xx) want to call from hardirq context.

The deadlock was found by the lock validator.
