The bonuses here include simplicity and improved driver readability. Also, the

[PATCH] kexec: Avoid migration of already disabled irqs (ia64)
This patch fixes up ia64 kexec support for HP rx2620 hardware. It does
this by skipping migration of already disabled irqs. This is most likely a
problem on other ia64 platforms as well, but I've only been able to
reproduce it on one machine so far.
The full story is that handle_bad_irq() gets invoked before starting the
new kernel without this patch. This seems to happen when fixup_irqs()
calls generic_handle_irq() on already migrated (and disabled) irqs. So by
avoiding migration of disabled irqs we stay away of handle_bad_irq().
The code has been tested on three different ia64 machines, all with good
results. It is possible to trigger the same bug by offlining a processor
using echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/online.

flush_workqueue() is not allowed to be called in the softirq context.
However, aio_complete() called from I/O interrupt can potentially call
put_ioctx with last ref count on ioctx and triggers bug. It is simply
incorrect to perform ioctx freeing from aio_complete.
The bug is trigger-able from a race between io_destroy() and aio_complete().
A possible scenario:
The real problem is that the condition check of ctx->reqs_active in
wait_for_all_aios() is incorrect that access to reqs_active is not
being properly protected by spin lock.
This patch adds that protective spin lock, and at the same time removes
all duplicate ref counting for each kiocb as reqs_active is already used
as a ref count for each active ioctx. This also ensures that buggy call
to flush_workqueue() in softirq context is eliminated.

Use the same signal frame alignment calculations as the underlying

UML/i386 might have been OK, but I changed the calculation to match

My understanding is that pci_find_present() doesn't work yet at the time
the quirks are run. So I used a two-step quirk as is done for some other
quirks already. First we detect the VIA south bridges and set the right
low and high device limits, then we are ready to actually run the quirks on
the affected devices.

The message can be generated in a quite normal situation:
If a 'lock' request is interrupted, then the lock client needs to

When we come the unlock, the server might say it doesn't, even
though we think it does (or might) and this generates the message.

When processing a HEARTBEAT-ACK it's possible that the transport rto
timers will not be updated because a prior T3-RTX processing would
have cleared the rto_pending flag on the transport. However, if
we received a valid HEARTBEAT-ACK, we want to force update the
rto variables, so re-set the rto_pending flag before calling
sctp_transport_update_rto().

[IPV6]: fix BUG of ndisc_send_redirect()
When I tested IPv6 redirect function about kernel 2.6.19.1, and found
that the kernel can send redirect packets whose target address is global
address, and the target is not the actual endpoint of communication.
But the criteria conform to RFC2461, the target address defines as
following:
Target Address An IP address that is a better first hop to use for
he ICMP Destination Address. When the target is
the actual endpoint of communication, i.e., the
destination is a neighbor, the Target Address field
MUST contain the same value as the ICMP Destination
Address field. Otherwise the target is a better
first-hop router and the Target Address MUST be the
router's link-local address so that hosts can
uniquely identify routers.
According to this definition, when a router redirect to a host, the
target address either the better first-hop router's link-local address
or the same as the ICMP destination address field. But the function of
ndisc_send_redirect() in net/ipv6/ndisc.c, does not check the target
address correctly.
There is another definition about receive Redirect message in RFC2461:
8.1. Validation of Redirect Messages
A host MUST silently discard any received Redirect message that does
not satisfy all of the following validity checks:
......
- 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).
......
And the receive redirect function of ndisc_redirect_rcv() implemented
this definition, checks the target address correctly.
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;
}
So, I think the send redirect function must check the target address
also.
