1) Eric Dumazet discovered and fixed what turned out to be a family of

to reallocate the linear SKB data buffer, but the callers were not
expecting this possibility. The callers have cached pointers to the
packet header areas, and would need to reload them if we were to
continue using pskb_may_pull().

skb_header_pointer() instead of pskb_may_pull(), which won't modify
the linear SKB data area.

lib/flex_proportions.c: fix corruption of denominator in flexible proportions
When racing with CPU hotplug, percpu_counter_sum() can return negative
values for the number of observed events.
This confuses fprop_new_period(), which uses unsigned type and as a
result number of events is set to big *positive* number. From that
moment on, things go pear shaped and can result e.g. in division by
zero as denominator is later truncated to 32-bits.
This bug causes a divide-by-zero oops in bdi_dirty_limit() in Borislav's
3.6.0-rc6 based kernel.
Fix the issue by using a signed type in fprop_new_period(). That makes
us bail out from the function without doing anything (mistakenly)
thinking there are no events to age. That makes aging somewhat
inaccurate but getting accurate data would be rather hard.

The hypervisor is in charge of allocating the proper "NUMA" memory
and dealing with the CPU scheduler to keep them bound to the proper
NUMA node. The PV guests (and PVHVM) have no inkling of where they
run and do not need to know that right now. In the future we will
need to inject NUMA configuration data (if a guest spans two or more
NUMA nodes) so that the kernel can make the right choices. But those
patches are not yet present.
In the meantime, disable the NUMA capability in the PV guest, which
also fixes a bootup issue. Andre says:
"we see Dom0 crashes due to the kernel detecting the NUMA topology not
by ACPI, but directly from the northbridge (CONFIG_AMD_NUMA).
This will detect the actual NUMA config of the physical machine, but
will crash about the mismatch with Dom0's virtual memory. Variation of
the theme: Dom0 sees what it's not supposed to see.
This happens with the said config option enabled and on a machine where
this scanning is still enabled (K8 and Fam10h, not Bulldozer class)
so we just disable NUMA scanning by setting numa_off=1.

Since commit 7a623c039 ("edac: rewrite the sysfs code to use struct

struct mem_ctl_info. Therefore edac_mc_free() can no longer simply
decrement a kobject reference count to free the allocated memory unless
the memory controller driver module had also called edac_mc_add_mc().
Now edac_mc_free() will check if the newly embedded struct device has
been registered with sysfs before using either the standard device
release functions or freeing the data structures itself with logic
pulled out of the error path of edac_mc_alloc().

and that code block seem to mess things up in several ways (double free, memory
leak, out-of-bound reads etc.):
L422: The iterator "chn" and bound "tot_channels" are totally wrong. Should be
"row" and "tot_csrows" respectively. Which means either memory leak, or
out-of-bound reads (which if does not trigger an immediate page fault
error, will further lead to kfree() on random addresses).
L425: The inner loop is reusing the same iterator "chn" as the outer loop,
which could lead to premature end of the outer loop, and hence memory leak.
L429: The array index 'i' in mci->csrows[i] is a temporary value used in
previous loops, and won't change at all in the current loop. Which
means either out-of-bound read and possibly kfree(random number), or the
same mci->csrows[i] get freed once and again, and possibly double free
for the kfree(csr) in L427.
L426/L427: a kfree(csr->channels) is needed in between to avoid leaking the memory.
The buggy code was introduced by commit de3910eb ("edac: change the mem
allocation scheme to make Documentation/kobject.txt happy") in the 3.6-rc1
merge window. Fix it by freeing up resources in this order:
batman-adv: Fix symmetry check / route flapping in multi interface setups
If receiving an OGM from a neighbor other than the currently selected
and if it has the same TQ then we are supposed to switch if this
neighbor provides a more symmetric link than the currently selected one.
However this symmetry check currently is broken if the interface of the
neighbor we received the OGM from and the one of the currently selected
neighbor differ: We are currently trying to determine the symmetry of the
link towards the selected router via the link we received the OGM from
instead of just checking via the link towards the currently selected
router.
This leads to way more route switches than necessary and can lead to
permanent route flapping in many common multi interface setups.
This patch fixes this issue by using the right interface for this
symmetry check.

do_add_mount()/umount -l races
normally we deal with lock_mount()/umount races by checking that
mountpoint to be is still in our namespace after lock_mount() has
been done. However, do_add_mount() skips that check when called
with MNT_SHRINKABLE in flags (i.e. from finish_automount()). The
reason is that ->mnt_ns may be a temporary namespace created exactly
to contain automounts a-la NFS4 referral handling. It's not the
namespace of the caller, though, so check_mnt() would fail here.
We still need to check that ->mnt_ns is non-NULL in that case,
though.
