a417016d1a [PATCH] wext: Fix IWENCODEEXT security permissions
Check the permissions when user-space try to read the
encryption parameters via SIOCGIWENCODEEXT. This is trivial and
probably should go in 2.6.17...

d4a30e7e66 RPCSEC_GSS: fix leak in krb5 code caused by superfluous kmalloc
I was sloppy when generating a previous patch; I modified the callers of
krb5_make_checksum() to allocate memory for the buffer where the result is
returned, then forgot to modify krb5_make_checksum to stop allocating that
memory itself.  The result is a per-packet memory leak.  This fixes the
problem by removing the now-superfluous kmalloc().

ef5cb9738b [TCP]: Fix truesize underflow
There is a problem with the TSO packet trimming code.  The cause of
this lies in the tcp_fragment() function.

When we allocate a fragment for a completely non-linear packet the
truesize is calculated for a payload length of zero.  This means that
truesize could in fact be less than the real payload length.

When that happens the TSO packet trimming can cause truesize to become
negative.  This in turn can cause sk_forward_alloc to be -n * PAGE_SIZE
which would trigger the warning.

I've copied the code DaveM used in tso_fragment which should work here.

f3a0592b37 [ATM]: clip causes unregister hang
If Classical IP over ATM module is loaded, its neighbor table gets
populated when permanent neighbor entries are created; but these entries
are not flushed when the device is removed. Since the entry never gets
flushed the unregister of the network device never completes.

This version of the patch also adds locking around the reference to
the atm arp daemon to avoid races with events and daemon state changes.
(Note: barrier() was never really safe)

This patch changes GRE and SIT to generate port unreachable instead of

This removes the ambiguity as to whether the error is caused by no

50fba2aa7c [INET]: Move no-tunnel ICMP error to tunnel4/tunnel6
This patch moves the sending of ICMP messages when there are no IPv4/IPv6
tunnels present to tunnel4/tunnel6 respectively.  Please note that for now
if xfrm4_tunnel/xfrm6_tunnel is loaded then no ICMP messages will ever be
sent.  This is similar to how we handle AH/ESP/IPCOMP.

This move fixes the bug where we always send an ICMP message when there is
no ip6_tunnel device present for a given packet even if it is later handled
by IPsec.  It also causes ICMP messages to be sent when no IPIP tunnel is
present.

I've decided to use the "port unreachable" ICMP message over the current
value of "address unreachable" (and "protocol unreachable" by GRE) because
it is not ambiguous unlike the other ones which can be triggered by other
conditions.  There seems to be no standard specifying what value must be
used so this change should be OK.  In fact we should change GRE to use
this value as well.

Incidentally, this patch also fixes a fairly serious bug in xfrm6_tunnel
where we don't check whether the embedded IPv6 header is present before
dereferencing it for the inside source address.

This patch is inspired by a previous patch by Hugo Santos <hsantos@av.it.pt>.

5274f052e7 [PATCH] Introduce sys_splice() system call
This adds support for the sys_splice system call. Using a pipe as a
transport, it can connect to files or sockets (latter as output only).

From the splice.c comments:

   "splice": joining two ropes together by interweaving their strands.

   This is the "extended pipe" functionality, where a pipe is used as
   an arbitrary in-memory buffer. Think of a pipe as a small kernel
   buffer that you can use to transfer data from one end to the other.

   The traditional unix read/write is extended with a "splice()" operation
   that transfers data buffers to or from a pipe buffer.

   Named by Larry McVoy, original implementation from Linus, extended by
   Jens to support splicing to files and fixing the initial implementation
   bugs.

56079431b6 [NET]: Deinline some larger functions from netdevice.h
On a allyesconfig'ured kernel:

Size  Uses Wasted Name and definition
===== ==== ====== ================================================
   95  162  12075 netif_wake_queue      include/linux/netdevice.h
  129   86   9265 dev_kfree_skb_any     include/linux/netdevice.h
  127   56   5885 netif_device_attach   include/linux/netdevice.h

  119   16   1485 __netif_rx_schedule   include/linux/netdevice.h
  143    5    492 netif_rx_schedule     include/linux/netdevice.h
   81    7    366 netif_schedule        include/linux/netdevice.h

netif_wake_queue is big because __netif_schedule is a big inline:

static inline void __netif_schedule(struct net_device *dev)
{
        if (!test_and_set_bit(__LINK_STATE_SCHED, &dev->state)) {
                unsigned long flags;
                struct softnet_data *sd;

                local_irq_save(flags);
                sd = &__get_cpu_var(softnet_data);
                dev->next_sched = sd->output_queue;
                sd->output_queue = dev;
                raise_softirq_irqoff(NET_TX_SOFTIRQ);
                local_irq_restore(flags);
        }
}

static inline void netif_wake_queue(struct net_device *dev)
{
#ifdef CONFIG_NETPOLL_TRAP
        if (netpoll_trap())
                return;
#endif
        if (test_and_clear_bit(__LINK_STATE_XOFF, &dev->state))
                __netif_schedule(dev);
}

By de-inlining __netif_schedule we are saving a lot of text
at each callsite of netif_wake_queue and netif_schedule.
__netif_rx_schedule is also big, and it makes more sense to keep
both of them out of line.

Patch also deinlines dev_kfree_skb_any. We can deinline dev_kfree_skb_irq
instead... oh well.

netif_device_attach/detach are not hot paths, we can deinline them too.

d2acc3479c [INET]: Introduce tunnel4/tunnel6
Basically this patch moves the generic tunnel protocol stuff out of
xfrm4_tunnel/xfrm6_tunnel and moves it into the new files of tunnel4.c
and tunnel6 respectively.

The reason for this is that the problem that Hugo uncovered is only
the tip of the iceberg.  The real problem is that when we removed the
dependency of ipip on xfrm4_tunnel we didn't really consider the module
case at all.

For instance, as it is it's possible to build both ipip and xfrm4_tunnel
as modules and if the latter is loaded then ipip simply won't load.

After considering the alternatives I've decided that the best way out of
this is to restore the dependency of ipip on the non-xfrm-specific part
of xfrm4_tunnel.  This is acceptable IMHO because the intention of the
removal was really to be able to use ipip without the xfrm subsystem.
This is still preserved by this patch.

So now both ipip/xfrm4_tunnel depend on the new tunnel4.c which handles
the arbitration between the two.  The order of processing is determined
by a simple integer which ensures that ipip gets processed before
xfrm4_tunnel.

The situation for ICMP handling is a little bit more complicated since
we may not have enough information to determine who it's for.  It's not
a big deal at the moment since the xfrm ICMP handlers are basically
no-ops.  In future we can deal with this when we look at ICMP caching
in general.

The user-visible change to this is the removal of the TUNNEL Kconfig
prompts.  This makes sense because it can only be used through IPCOMP
as it stands.

The addition of the new modules shouldn't introduce any problems since
module dependency will cause them to be loaded.

Oh and I also turned some unnecessary pskb's in IPv6 related to this
patch to skb's.

2638fed7cc [PATCH] softmac: reduce default rate to 11Mbps.
We don't make much of an attempt to fall back to lower rates, and 54M
just isn't reliable enough for many people. In fact, it's not clear we
even set it to 11M if we're trying to associate with an 802.11b AP.

This patch makes us default to 11M, which ought to work for most people.
When we actually handle dynamic rate adjustment, we can reconsider the
defaults -- but even then, probably it makes as much sense to start at
11M and adjust it upwards as it does to start at 54M and reduce it.

The attached patch removes a potential problem from ieee80211_wx.c, by changing the name of routine
ipw2100_translate_scan to ieee80211_translate_scan. The problem is minor as the routine is declared

e041c68341 [PATCH] Notifier chain update: API changes
The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe.  There is no
protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the
chain is in use.  The issues were discussed in this thread:

    http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2

We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage
classes:

	"Blocking" chains are always called from a process context
	and the callout routines are allowed to sleep;

	"Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and
	the callout routines are not allowed to sleep.

We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API.  Therefore
this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking
notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is
really just the old API under a new name).  New kinds of data structures are
used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for
registration, unregistration, and calling a chain.  The three APIs are
explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in
kernel/sys.c.

With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain
links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by
entries being added or removed.  For raw chains the implementation provides no
guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections.  (The
idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and
blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to
handle these things in their own way.)

There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with.  For
atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in
a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem.  Also, a
callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister
entries on its own chain.  (This did happen in a couple of places and the code
had to be changed to avoid it.)

Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use
spinlocks for synchronization.  Instead we use RCU.  The overhead falls almost
entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much
less frequent that calling a chain.

Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications.  None
of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.

  ATOMIC CHAINS
  -------------
arch/i386/kernel/traps.c:		i386die_chain
arch/ia64/kernel/traps.c:		ia64die_chain
arch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c:		powerpc_die_chain

net/bluetooth/hci_core.c:		hci_notifier
net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c:	ip_conntrack_chain
net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c:	ip_conntrack_expect_chain
net/ipv6/addrconf.c:			inet6addr_chain
net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:	nf_conntrack_chain
net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:	nf_conntrack_expect_chain
net/netlink/af_netlink.c:		netlink_chain

  BLOCKING CHAINS
  ---------------
arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c:	pSeries_reconfig_chain
arch/s390/kernel/process.c:		idle_chain
arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c		idle_notifier
drivers/base/memory.c:			memory_chain
drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c		cpufreq_policy_notifier_list
drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c		cpufreq_transition_notifier_list
drivers/macintosh/adb.c:		adb_client_list
drivers/macintosh/via-pmu.c		sleep_notifier_list
drivers/macintosh/via-pmu68k.c		sleep_notifier_list
drivers/macintosh/windfarm_core.c	wf_client_list
drivers/usb/core/notify.c		usb_notifier_list
drivers/video/fbmem.c			fb_notifier_list
kernel/cpu.c				cpu_chain
kernel/module.c				module_notify_list
kernel/profile.c			munmap_notifier
kernel/profile.c			task_exit_notifier
kernel/sys.c				reboot_notifier_list
net/core/dev.c				netdev_chain
net/decnet/dn_dev.c:			dnaddr_chain
net/ipv4/devinet.c:			inetaddr_chain

It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong.  If they are,
please let us know or submit a patch to fix them.  Note that any chain that
gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking
used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems.
(However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be
atomic.)

The patch set was written by Alan Stern and Chandra Seetharaman, incorporating
material written by Keith Owens and suggestions from Paul McKenney and Andrew
Morton.

4013edea9a [PATCH] knfsd: An assortment of little fixes to the sunrpc cache code
- in cache_check, h must be non-NULL as it has been de-referenced,
  so don't bother checking for NULL.

- When a cache-item is updated, we need to call cache_revisit_request to see
  if there is a pending request waiting for that item.  We were using
  a transition to CACHE_VALID to see if that was needed, however that is
  wrong as an expired entry will still be marked 'valid' (as the data is valid
  and will need to be released).  So instead use an off transition for
  CACHE_PENDING which is exactly the right thing to test.

- Add a little bit more debugging info.

6abaaaae6d [IPSEC]: Fix tunnel error handling in ipcomp6
The error handling in ipcomp6_tunnel_create is broken in two ways:

1) If we fail to allocate an SPI (this should never happen in practice
since there are plenty of 32-bit SPI values for us to use), we will
still go ahead and create the SA.

2) When xfrm_init_state fails, we first of all may trigger the BUG_TRAP
in __xfrm_state_destroy because we didn't set the state to DEAD.  More
importantly we end up returning the freed state as if we succeeded!

This patch fixes them both.

f348d70a32 [PATCH] POLLRDHUP/EPOLLRDHUP handling for half-closed devices notifications
Implement the half-closed devices notifiation, by adding a new POLLRDHUP
(and its alias EPOLLRDHUP) bit to the existing poll/select sets.  Since the
existing POLLHUP handling, that does not report correctly half-closed
devices, was feared to be changed, this implementation leaves the current
POLLHUP reporting unchanged and simply add a new bit that is set in the few
places where it makes sense.  The same thing was discussed and conceptually
agreed quite some time ago:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/7/12/116

Since this new event bit is added to the existing Linux poll infrastruture,
even the existing poll/select system calls will be able to use it.  As far
as the existing POLLHUP handling, the patch leaves it as is.  The
pollrdhup-2.6.16.rc5-0.10.diff defines the POLLRDHUP for all the existing
archs and sets the bit in the six relevant files.  The other attached diff
is the simple change required to sys/epoll.h to add the EPOLLRDHUP
definition.

There is "a stupid program" to test POLLRDHUP delivery here:

 http://www.xmailserver.org/pollrdhup-test.c

It tests poll(2), but since the delivery is same epoll(2) will work equally.

cef2685e00 [IPV4]: Aggregate route entries with different TOS values
When we get an ICMP need-to-frag message, the original TOS value in the
ICMP payload cannot be used as a key to look up the routes to update.
This is because the TOS field may have been modified by routers on the
way.  Similarly, ip_rt_redirect should also ignore the TOS as the router
that gave us the message may have modified the TOS value.

The patch achieves this objective by aggregating entries with different
TOS values (but are otherwise identical) into the same bucket.  This
makes it easy to update them at the same time when an ICMP message is
received.

In future we should use a twin-hashing scheme where teh aggregation
occurs at the entry level.  That is, the TOS goes back into the hash
for normal lookups while ICMP lookups will end up with a node that
gives us a list that contains all other route entries that differ
only by TOS.

The maximum sndbuf and rcvbuf each will be up to 4 MB, but no more
than 1/128 of the memory pressure threshold.

2babf9daae [SCTP]: Fix up sctp_rcv return value
I was working on the ipip/xfrm problem and as usual I get side-tracked by
other problems.

As part of an attempt to change the IPv4 protocol handler calling
convention I found that SCTP violated the existing convention.

It's returning non-zero values after freeing the skb.  This is doubly bad
as 1) the skb gets resubmitted; 2) the return value is interpreted as a
protocol number.

This patch changes those return values to zero.

IPv6 doesn't suffer from this problem because it uses a positive return
value as an indication for resubmission.  So the only effect of this patch
there is to increment the IPSTATS_MIB_INDELIVERS counter which IMHO is
the right thing to do.

9f514950bb [NET]: Take RTNL when unregistering notifier
The netdev notifier call chain is currently unregistered without taking
any locks outside the notifier system.  Because the notifier system itself
does not synchronise unregistration with respect to the calling of the
chain, we as its user need to do our own locking.

We are supposed to take the RTNL for all calls to netdev notifiers, so
taking the RTNL should be sufficient to protect it.

The registration path in dev.c already takes the RTNL so it's OK.

4b6a9316fa [PATCH] cpuset memory spread: slab cache filesystems
Mark file system inode and similar slab caches subject to SLAB_MEM_SPREAD
memory spreading.

If a slab cache is marked SLAB_MEM_SPREAD, then anytime that a task that's
in a cpuset with the 'memory_spread_slab' option enabled goes to allocate
from such a slab cache, the allocations are spread evenly over all the
memory nodes (task->mems_allowed) allowed to that task, instead of favoring
allocation on the node local to the current cpu.

The following inode and similar caches are marked SLAB_MEM_SPREAD:

    file                               cache

    net/sunrpc/rpc_pipe.c              rpc_inode_cache

The choice of which slab caches to so mark was quite simple.  I marked
those already marked SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT, except for fs/xfs, dentry_cache,
inode_cache, and buffer_head, which were marked in a previous patch.  Even
though SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT is for a different purpose, it marks the same
potentially large file system i/o related slab caches as we need for memory
spreading.

Given that the rule now becomes "wherever you would have used a
SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT slab cache flag before (usually the inode cache), use
the SLAB_MEM_SPREAD flag too", this should be easy enough to maintain.
Future file system writers will just copy one of the existing file system
slab cache setups and tend to get it right without thinking.

711e2c33ac [PATCH] WE-20 for kernel 2.6.16
This is version 20 of the Wireless Extensions. This is the
completion of the RtNetlink work I started early 2004, it enables the
full Wireless Extension API over RtNetlink.

	Few comments on the patch :
	o totally driver transparent, no change in drivers needed.
	o iwevent were already RtNetlink based since they were created
(around 2.5.7). This adds all the regular SET and GET requests over
RtNetlink, using the exact same mechanism and data format as iwevents.
	o This is a Kconfig option, as currently most people have no
need for it. Surprisingly, patch is actually small and well
encapsulated.
	o Tested on SMP, attention as been paid to make it 64 bits clean.
	o Code do probably too many checks and could be further
optimised, but better safe than sorry.
	o RtNetlink based version of the Wireless Tools available on
my web page for people inclined to try out this stuff.

	I would also like to thank Alexey Kuznetsov for his helpful
suggestions to make this patch better.
