2875fb65f8 mtd: memory corruption in block2mtd.c
The block2mtd driver (drivers/mtd/devices/block2mtd.c) will kfree an on-stack
pointer when handling an invalid argument line (e.g.
block2mtd=/dev/loop0,xxx).

The kfree was added some time ago when "name" was dynamically allocated.

d3073779f8 SVCRDMA: Use only 1 RDMA read scatter entry for iWARP adapters
The iWARP protocol limits RDMA read requests to a single scatter
entry.  NFS/RDMA has code in rdma_read_max_sge() that is supposed to
limit the sge_count for RDMA read requests to 1, but the code to do
that is inside an #ifdef RDMA_TRANSPORT_IWARP block.  In the mainline
kernel at least, RDMA_TRANSPORT_IWARP is an enum and not a
preprocessor #define, so the #ifdef'ed code is never compiled.

In my test of a kernel build with -j8 on an NFS/RDMA mount, this
problem eventually leads to trouble starting with:

    svcrdma: Error posting send = -22
    svcrdma : RDMA_READ error = -22

and things go downhill from there.

The trivial fix is to delete the #ifdef guard.  The check seems to be
a remnant of when the NFS/RDMA code was not merged and needed to
compile against multiple kernel versions, although I don't think it
ever worked as intended.  In any case now that the code is upstream
there's no need to test whether the RDMA_TRANSPORT_IWARP constant is
defined or not.

Without this patch, my kernel build on an NFS/RDMA mount using NetEffect
adapters quickly and 100% reproducibly failed with an error like:

    ld: final link failed: Software caused connection abort

With the patch applied I was able to complete a kernel build on the
same setup.

(Tom Tucker says this is "actually an _ancient_ remnant when it had to
compile against iWARP vs. non-iWARP enabled OFA trees.")

b9e76a0074 x86-32: Pass the full resource data to ioremap()
It appears that 64-bit PCI resources cannot possibly ever have worked on
x86-32 even when the RESOURCES_64BIT config option was set, because any
driver that tried to [pci_]ioremap() the resource would have been unable
to do so because the high 32 bits would have been silently dropped on
the floor by the ioremap() routines that only used "unsigned long".

Change them to use "resource_size_t" instead, which properly encodes the
whole 64-bit resource data if RESOURCES_64BIT is enabled.

7ea6fd7e2d [POWERPC] Fix Oops with TQM5200 on TQM5200
The "bestcomm-core" driver defines its of_match table as follows

static struct of_device_id mpc52xx_bcom_of_match[] = {
	{ .type = "dma-controller", .compatible = "fsl,mpc5200-bestcomm", },
	{ .type = "dma-controller", .compatible = "mpc5200-bestcomm", },
	{},
};

so while registering the driver, the driver's probe function won't be
called, because the device tree node doesn't have a device_type
property.  Thus the driver's bcom_engine structure won't be allocated.
Referencing this structure later causes observed Oops.

Checking bcom_eng pointer for NULL before referencing data pointed
by it prevents oopsing, but fec driver still doesn't work (because
of the lost bestcomm match and resulted task allocation failure).
Actually the compatible property exists and should match and so
the fec driver should work.

This removes .type = "dma-controller" from the bestcomm driver's
mpc52xx_bcom_of_match table to solve the problem.

cfe666b145 [POWERPC] Don't use 64k pages for ioremap on pSeries
On pSeries, the hypervisor doesn't let us map in the eHEA ethernet
adapter using 64k pages, and thus the ehea driver will fail if 64k
pages are configured.  This works around the problem by always
using 4k pages for ioremap on pSeries (but not on other platforms).
A better fix would be to check whether the partition could ever
have an eHEA adapter, and only force 4k pages if it could, but this
will do for 2.6.25.

This is based on an earlier patch by Tony Breeds.

Because of faster computers some users already hit this hardcoded

[  773.908954] Badness at net/core/dev.c:2204
 ...

If we loop more than once in gem_poll(), we'll
use more than the real budget in our gem_rx()
calls, thus eventually trigger the caller's
assertions in net_rx_action().

Subtract "work_done" from "budget" for the second
arg to gem_rx() to fix the bug.

This is a regression that, for some odd reason, has gone unnoticed for

mmc device as a parent) are not registered. End result being that

245073f0b3 ISAPNP: fix limits of logical device register set
PNP_MAX_MEM and PNP_MAX_PORT are mainly used to size tables of PNP
device resources.  In 2.6.24, we increased their values to accomodate
ACPI devices that have many resources:

                 2.6.23    2.6.24
                 ------    ------
  PNP_MAX_MEM       4         12
  PNP_MAX_PORT      8         40

However, ISAPNP also used these constants as the size of parts of the
logical device register set.  This register set is fixed by hardware,
so increasing the constants meant that we were reading and writing
unintended parts of the register set.

This patch changes ISAPNP to use the correct register set sizes (the
same values we used prior to 2.6.24).

69d1506731 [TCP]: Let skbs grow over a page on fast peers
While testing the virtio-net driver on KVM with TSO I noticed
that TSO performance with a 1500 MTU is significantly worse
compared to the performance of non-TSO with a 16436 MTU.  The
packet dump shows that most of the packets sent are smaller
than a page.

Looking at the code this actually is quite obvious as it always
stop extending the packet if it's the first packet yet to be
sent and if it's larger than the MSS.  Since each extension is
bound by the page size, this means that (given a 1500 MTU) we're
very unlikely to construct packets greater than a page, provided
that the receiver and the path is fast enough so that packets can
always be sent immediately.

The fix is also quite obvious.  The push calls inside the loop
is just an optimisation so that we don't end up doing all the
sending at the end of the loop.  Therefore there is no specific
reason why it has to do so at MSS boundaries.  For TSO, the
most natural extension of this optimisation is to do the pushing
once the skb exceeds the TSO size goal.

This is what the patch does and testing with KVM shows that the
TSO performance with a 1500 MTU easily surpasses that of a 16436
MTU and indeed the packet sizes sent are generally larger than
16436.

I don't see any obvious downsides for slower peers or connections,
but it would be prudent to test this extensively to ensure that
those cases don't regress.

    x86: reserve dma32 early for gart

The patch has a dependency on bootmem modifications which are not .25
material that late in the -rc cycle. The problem which is addressed by
the patch is limited to machines with 256G and more memory booted with
NUMA disabled. This is not a .25 regression and the audience which is
affected by this problem is very limited, so it's safer to do the
revert than pulling in intrusive bootmem changes right now.

64658743fd [SPARC64]: Remove most limitations to kernel image size.
Currently kernel images are limited to 8MB in size, and this causes
problems especially when enabling features that take up a lot of
kernel image space such as lockdep.

The code now will align the kernel image size up to 4MB and map that
many locked TLB entries.  So, the only practical limitation is the
number of available locked TLB entries which is 16 on Cheetah and 64
on pre-Cheetah sparc64 cpus.  Niagara cpus don't actually have hw
locked TLB entry support.  Rather, the hypervisor transparently
provides support for "locked" TLB entries since it runs with physical
addressing and does the initial TLB miss processing.

Fully utilizing this change requires some help from SILO, a patch for
which will be submitted to the maintainer.  Essentially, SILO will
only currently map up to 8MB for the kernel image and that needs to be
increased.

Note that neither this patch nor the SILO bits will help with network
booting.  The openfirmware code will only map up to a certain amount
of kernel image during a network boot and there isn't much we can to
about that other than to implemented a layered network booting
facility.  Solaris has this, and calls it "wanboot" and we may
implement something similar at some point.

12b101555f [IPV4]: Fix null dereference in ip_defrag
Been seeing occasional panics in my testing of 2.6.25-rc in ip_defrag.
Offending line in ip_defrag is here:

	net = skb->dev->nd_net

where dev is NULL.  Bisected the problem down to commit
ac18e7509e ([NETNS][FRAGS]: Make the
inet_frag_queue lookup work in namespaces).  

Below patch (idea from Patrick McHardy) fixes the problem for me.

5dca6a1bb0 x86: trim mtrr don't close gap for resource allocation.
fix the bug reported here:

	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10232

use update_memory_range() instead of add_memory_range() directly
to avoid closing the gap.

( the new code only affects and runs on systems where the MTRR
  workaround triggers. )
