[IPv6]: Fix ICMPv6 redirect handling with target multicast address
When the ICMPv6 Target address is multicast, Linux processes the
redirect instead of dropping it. The problem is in this code in
ndisc_redirect_rcv():
if (ipv6_addr_equal(dest, target)) {
on_link = 1;
} else if (!(ipv6_addr_type(target) & IPV6_ADDR_LINKLOCAL)) {
ND_PRINTK2(KERN_WARNING
"ICMPv6 Redirect: target address is not
link-local.\n");
return;
}
This second check will succeed if the Target address is, for example,
FF02::1 because it has link-local scope. Instead, it should be checking
if it's a unicast link-local address, as stated in RFC 2461/4861 Section
8.1:
- The ICMP Target Address is either a link-local address (when
redirected to a router) or the same as the ICMP Destination
Address (when redirected to the on-link destination).
I know this doesn't explicitly say unicast link-local address, but it's
implied.
This bug is preventing Linux kernels from achieving IPv6 Logo Phase II
certification because of a recent error that was found in the TAHI test
suite - Neighbor Disovery suite test 206 (v6LC.2.3.6_G) had the
multicast address in the Destination field instead of Target field, so
we were passing the test. This won't be the case anymore.
The patch below fixes this problem, and also fixes ndisc_send_redirect()
to not send an invalid redirect with a multicast address in the Target
field. I re-ran the TAHI Neighbor Discovery section to make sure Linux
passes all 245 tests now.

When pinning and unpinning pagetables, we must protect them against
being used by other CPUs, lest they see the pagetable in an
intermediate read-only-but-not-pinned state.
When using split pte locks, doing this properly would require taking
all the pte locks for the pagetable while pinning, but this may overflow
the PREEMPT_BITS part of the preempt counter if the process has mapped
more than about 512M of memory.
However, failing to take the pte locks causes write-protect faults when
the pageout code is trying to clear the Access bit on a pte which is part
of a freshy created and still being pinned process after fork.
This is a short-term fix until the problem is solved properly.

The PCI-E slot on T1000 connects directly to the Fire PCI chip with no

Unfortunately the bus numbering of the device in that slot is
different (2) from the PCI host controller (0), and thus the
pci_bus_{read,write}_config_*() calls don't work out.
Complicating things further the Fire PCI controller has no config
space it responds to either.
For now treat this case specially so that devices in the slot work.
Longer term we need to perhaps cons up a dummy bridge between the Fire

mv643xx_eth: Do not modify struct netdev tx_queue_len
This driver erroneously zeros dev->tx_queue_len, since
mp->tx_ring_size has not yet been initialized. Actually,
the driver shouldn't modify tx_queue_len at all and should
leave the value set by alloc_etherdev(), currently 1000.

[SPARC64]: Fix missing load-twin usage in Niagara-1 memcpy.
For the case where the source is not aligned modulo 8
we don't use load-twins to suck the data in and this
kills performance since normal loads allocate in the
L1 cache (unlike load-twin) and thus big memcpys swipe
the entire L1 D-cache.
We need to allocate a register window to implement this
properly, but that actually simplifies a lot of things
as a nice side-effect.

[IEEE80211]: avoid integer underflow for runt rx frames

How about this?

[TCP]: secure_tcp_sequence_number() should not use a too fast clock
TCP V4 sequence numbers are 32bits, and RFC 793 assumed a 250 KHz clock.
In order to follow network speed increase, we can use a faster clock, but
we should limit this clock so that the delay between two rollovers is
greater than MSL (TCP Maximum Segment Lifetime : 2 minutes)
Choosing a 64 nsec clock should be OK, since the rollovers occur every
274 seconds.
[SFQ]: Remove artificial limitation for queue limit.
This is followup to Patrick's patch. A little optimization to enqueue
routine allows to remove artificial limitation on queue length.
Plus, testing showed that hash function used by SFQ is too bad or even worse.
It does not even sweep the whole range of hash values.
Switched to Jenkins' hash.

x86_64: increase VDSO_TEXT_OFFSET for ancient binutils
For some reason old binutils genertate larger headers so increase the text
offset of the vdso to avoid linker errors.
Roland McGrath explains:
"There are extra symbols in the '.dynsym' section that are responsible
for the size difference (They also cause corresponding inflation in
'.gnu.version')
Older ld's wrongly generated these unneeded symbols in .dynsym. This
was fixed not all that long ago (2006); binutils-2.17.50.0.6 might be
the first fixed version, but I have not verified for sure where the
cutoff was.
The unneeded symbols et al from old ld add almost 700 bytes excess.
This limits fairly tightly the amount by which the actual text and
data in the vDSO can grow in the future without pushing the whole
file over 4kb. If it does grow later on, we should consider changing
the layout with a config option or something to pack it better
without that padding, when building the kernel with newer binutils."

In a desperate attempt to get a changelog entry in 2.6.23, I took a look
into it.
It turns out we are passing a real and not a virtual irq into
get_irq_server. This works for the case where hwirq < NR_IRQS and we
set virq = hwirq. In my case however hwirq = 590082 and we try and
access irq_desc[590082], slightly past the end at 512 entries.
Lucky we ship lots of memory with our machines.

Fix possible splice() mmap_sem deadlock
Nick Piggin points out that splice isn't being good about the mmap
semaphore: while two readers can nest inside each others, it does leave
a possible deadlock if a writer (ie a new mmap()) comes in during that
nesting.
Original "just move the locking" patch by Nick, replaced by one by me
based on an optimistic pagefault_disable(). And then Jens tested and
updated that patch.

Lachlan McIlroy says:
It tried to fix an issue where log replay is replaying an inode cluster
initialisation transaction that should not be replayed because the inode
cluster on disk is more up to date. Since we don't log file sizes (we
rely on inode flushing to get them to disk) then we can't just replay
all the transations in the log and expect the inode to be completely
restored. We lose file size updates. Unfortunately this fix is causing
more (serious) problems than it is fixing.
Calling handle_futex_death in exit_robust_list for the different robust
mutexes of a thread basically frees the mutex. Another thread might grab
the lock immediately which updates the next pointer of the mutex.
fetch_robust_entry over the next pointer might therefore branch into the
robust mutex list of a different thread. This can cause two problems: 1)
some mutexes held by the dead thread are not getting freed and 2) some
mutexs held by a different thread are freed.
The next point need to be read before calling handle_futex_death.
