5f23b73496 net: Fix soft lockups/OOM issues w/ unix garbage collector
This is an implementation of David Miller's suggested fix in:
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=470201

It has been updated to use wait_event() instead of
wait_event_interruptible().

Paraphrasing the description from the above report, it makes sendmsg()
block while UNIX garbage collection is in progress. This avoids a
situation where child processes continue to queue new FDs over a
AF_UNIX socket to a parent which is in the exit path and running
garbage collection on these FDs. This contention can result in soft
lockups and oom-killing of unrelated processes.

b4b6cda229 ath9k: correct expected max RX buffer size
We should only tell the hardware its capable of DMA'ing
to us only what we asked dev_alloc_skb(). Prior to this
it is possible a large RX'd frame could have corrupted
DMA data but for us but we were saved only because we
were previously also pci_map_single()'ing the same large
value. The issue prior to this though was we were unmapping
a smaller amount which the prior DMA patch fixed.

ca0c7e5101 ath9k: Fix SW-IOMMU bounce buffer starvation
This should fix the SW-IOMMU bounce buffer starvation
seen ok kernel.org bugzilla 11811:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11811

Users on MacBook Pro 3.1/MacBook v2 would see something like:

DMA: Out of SW-IOMMU space for 4224 bytes at device 0000:0b:00.0

Unfortunately its only easy to trigger on MacBook Pro 3.1/MacBook v2
so far so its difficult to debug (even with swiotlb=force).

We were pci_unmap_single()'ing less bytes than what we called
for with pci_map_single() and as such we were starving
the swiotlb from its 64MB amount of bounce buffers. We remain
consistent and now always use sc->rxbufsize for RX. While at
it we update the beacon DMA maps as well to only use the data
portion of the skb, previous to this we were pci_map_single()'ing
more data for beaconing than what we tell the hardware it can use,
therefore pushing more iotlb abuse.

Still not sure why this is so easily triggerable on
MacBook Pro 3.1, it may be the hardware configuration
tends to use more memory > 3GB mark for DMA.

I asked around, and he's right, there may be platforms that do not allow
passing such such an address to the DMA API functions. This patch
changes it by using the proper dma_sync_single_range_for_cpu API
invented for this purpose.

244f46ae6e rose: zero length frame filtering in af_rose.c
Since changeset e79ad711a0 from  mainline,
>From David S. Miller,
empty packet can be transmitted on connected socket for datagram protocols.

However, this patch broke a high level application using ROSE network protocol with connected datagram.

Bulletin Board Stations perform bulletins forwarding between BBS stations via ROSE network using a forward protocol.
Now, if for some reason, a buffer in the application software happens to be empty at a specific moment,
ROSE sends an empty packet via unfiltered packet socket.
When received, this ROSE packet introduces perturbations of data exchange of BBS forwarding,
for the application message forwarding protocol is waiting for something else.
We agree that a more careful programming of the application protocol would avoid this situation and we are
willing to debug it.
But, as an empty frame is no use and does not have any meaning for ROSE protocol,
we may consider filtering zero length data both when sending and receiving socket data.

The proposed patch repaired BBS data exchange through ROSE network that were broken since 2.6.22.11 kernel.

- an identical conntrack entry may be created in the packet processing

33cf71cee1 tcp: Do not use TSO/GSO when there is urgent data
This patch fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12014

Since most (if not all) implementations of TSO and even the in-kernel
software GSO do not update the urgent pointer when splitting a large
segment, it is necessary to turn off TSO/GSO for all outgoing traffic
with the URG pointer set.

Looking at tcp_current_mss (and the preceding comment) I even think
this was the original intention. However, this approach is insufficient,
because TSO/GSO is turned off only for newly created frames, not for
frames which were already pending at the arrival of a message with
MSG_OOB set. These frames were created when TSO/GSO was enabled,
so they may be large, and they will have the urgent pointer set
in tcp_transmit_skb().

With this patch, such large packets will be fragmented again before
going to the transmit routine.

As a side note, at least the following NICs are known to screw up
the urgent pointer in the TCP header when doing TSO:

	Intel 82566MM (PCI ID 8086:1049)
	Intel 82566DC (PCI ID 8086:104b)
	Intel 82541GI (PCI ID 8086:1076)

208fbec5be axnet_cs / pcnet_cs: moving PCMCIA_DEVICE_PROD_ID for Netgear FA411
Hi,

after noticing that my Netgear FA411 (PCMCIA-NIC) [1] stopped working with
the release of the 2.6.25 kernel (sidux-version), I checked the
respective driver sources and noticed that the pcnet_cs driver bailed
out with "use axnet_cs instead" for the Netgear FA411, but axnet_cs
doesn't claim this ID.

I compiled a kernel with the PCMCIA-ID for the netgear card moved to
axnet_cs from pcnet_cs which worked. I then contacted sidux-kernel
maintainer Stefan Lippers-Hollmann who turned the info into this patch
and integrated it into the kernel:

<http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/fullstory/linux-sidux-2.6/trunk/debian/patches/features/2.6.27.4_PCMCIA_move-PCMCIA-ID-for-Netgear-FA411-from-pcnet_cs-to-axnet_cs.patch>

This works for me and AFAIK there were no reports of any breakage for
other devices on sidux-support.

This looks like a trivial patch, but since I have very limited
experience with kernel modifications  I might be woefully wrong there.
But if there are no side effects of this patch, is it possible to get it
into the official kernel?

I can provide more detailed information on the affected hardware if
necessary.

Itanium processors can handle some misaligned data accesses. They
also provide a mode where all such accesses are forced to trap. The
kernel was schizophrenic about use of this mode:

* Base kernel code ran in permissive mode where the only traps
  generated were from those cases that the h/w could not handle.
* Interrupt, syscall and trap code ran in strict mode where all
  unaligned accesses caused traps to the 0x5a00 unaligned reference
  vector.

Use strict alignment checking throughout the kernel, but make
sure that we continue to let user mode use more relaxed mode
as the default.

0ca4b6b001 x86: Fix interrupt leak due to migration
When we migrate an interrupt from one CPU to another, we set the
move_in_progress flag and clean up the vectors later once they're not
being used.  If you're unlucky and call destroy_irq() before the vectors
become un-used, the move_in_progress flag is never cleared, which causes
the interrupt to become unusable.

This was discovered by Jesse Brandeburg for whom it manifested as an
MSI-X device refusing to use MSI-X mode when the driver was unloaded
and reloaded repeatedly.

23918b0306 SUNRPC: Fix a performance regression in the RPC authentication code
Fix a regression reported by Max Kellermann whereby kernel profiling
showed that his clients were spending 45% of their time in
rpcauth_lookup_credcache.

It turns out that although his processes had identical uid/gid/groups,
generic_match() was failing to detect this, because the task->group_info
pointers were not shared. This again lead to the creation of a huge number
of identical credentials at the RPC layer.

The regression is fixed by comparing the contents of task->group_info
if the actual pointers are not identical.

   [<0000000040104ef8>] syscall_exit+0x0/0x14

The problem is that compat_arch_ptrace() enters with an addr value of
type compat_ulong_t and calls translate_usr_offset() to translate the
address offset into a struct pt_regs offset like this:

	addr = translate_usr_offset(addr)

this means that any return value of translate_usr_offset() is stored
back as compat_ulong_t type into the addr variable.

But since translate_usr_offset() returns -1 for invalid offsets, addr
can now get the value 0xffffffff which then fails the next return-value
sanity check and thus the kernel tries to access invalid memory:

	if (addr < 0)
		break;

Fix this bug by modifying translate_usr_offset() to take and return
values of type compat_ulong_t, and by returning the value
"sizeof(struct pt_regs)" as an error indicator.

Additionally change the sanity check to check for return values
for >= sizeof(struct pt_regs).

This patch survived my compile and run-tests.

ddb4cbfc53 [CIFS] Do not attempt to close invalidated file handles
If a connection with open file handles has gone down
and come back up and reconnected without reopening
the file handle yet, do not attempt to send an SMB close
request for this handle in cifs_close.  We were
checking for the connection being invalid in cifs_close
but since the connection may have been reconnected
we also need to check whether the file handle
was marked invalid (otherwise we could close the
wrong file handle by accident).
