[PATCH] softmac: remove netif_tx_disable when scanning
In the scan section of ieee80211softmac, network transmits are
disabled. When SoftMAC re-enables transmits, it may override the
wishes of a driver that may have very good reasons for disabling
transmits. At least one failure in bcm43xx can be traced to this
problem. In addition, several unexplained problems may arise from
the unexpected enabling of transmits. Note that making this change
introduces a new bug that would allow transmits for the current session
to be transmitted on the wrong channel; however, the new bug is much
less severe than the one being fixed, as the new one only leads to
a few retransmits, whereas the old one can bring the interface down.
A fix that will not introduce new bugs is being investigated; however,
the current, more serious one should be fixed now.

IB/mad: Fix race between cancel and receive completion
When ib_cancel_mad() is called, it puts the canceled send on a list
and schedules a "flushed" callback from process context. However,
this leaves a window where a receive completion could be processed
before the send is fully flushed.
This is fine, except that ib_find_send_mad() will find the MAD and
return it to the receive processing, which results in the sender
getting both a successful receive and a "flushed" send completion for
the same request. Understandably, this confuses the sender, which is
expecting only one of these two callbacks, and leads to grief such as
a use-after-free in IPoIB.
Fix this by changing ib_find_send_mad() to return a send struct only
if the status is still successful (and not "flushed"). The search of
the send_list already had this check, so this patch just adds the same
check to the search of the wait_list.
Change ehca's Kconfig to activates scaling code as default. After
several measurements we saw that this feature prevents dropped packets
(UD) in stress situation. Thus, enabling it helps to improve ehca's
bandwidth through IPoIB.

[PATCH] Fix misrouted interrupts deadlocks
While testing kernel on machine with "irqpoll" option I've caught such a
lockup:
__do_IRQ()
spin_lock(&desc->lock);
desc->chip->ack(); /* IRQ is ACKed */
note_interrupt()
misrouted_irq()
handle_IRQ_event()
if (...)
local_irq_enable_in_hardirq();
/* interrupts are enabled from now */
...
__do_IRQ() /* same IRQ we've started from */
spin_lock(&desc->lock); /* LOCKUP */
Looking at misrouted_irq() code I've found that a potential deadlock like
this can also take place:
1CPU:
__do_IRQ()
spin_lock(&desc->lock); /* irq = A */
misrouted_irq()
for (i = 1; i < NR_IRQS; i++) {
spin_lock(&desc->lock); /* irq = B */
if (desc->status & IRQ_INPROGRESS) {
2CPU:
__do_IRQ()
spin_lock(&desc->lock); /* irq = B */
misrouted_irq()
for (i = 1; i < NR_IRQS; i++) {
spin_lock(&desc->lock); /* irq = A */
if (desc->status & IRQ_INPROGRESS) {
As the second lock on both CPUs is taken before checking that this irq is
being handled in another processor this may cause a deadlock. This issue
is only theoretical.
I propose the attached patch to fix booth problems: when trying to handle
misrouted IRQ active desc->lock may be unlocked.
The problem is because of race window. When if(expand) block is executed in
dup_fd unlocking of oldf->file_lock give a window for fdtable in oldf to be
modified. So actual open_files in oldf may not match with open_files
variable.

[XFS] Prevent a deadlock when xfslogd unpins inodes.
The previous fixes for the use after free in xfs_iunpin left a nasty log
deadlock when xfslogd unpinned the inode and dropped the last reference to
the inode. the ->clear_inode() method can issue transactions, and if the
log was full, the transaction could push on the log and get stuck trying
to push the inode it was currently unpinning.
To fix this, we provide xfs_iunpin a guarantee that it will always have a
valid xfs_inode <-> linux inode link or a particular flag will be set on
the inode. We then use log forces during lookup to ensure transactions are
completed before we recycle the inode. This ensures that xfs_iunpin will
never use the linux inode after it is being freed, and any lookup on an
inode on the reclaim list will wait until it is safe to attach a new linux
inode to the xfs inode.

The basic issue is that despite have been deprecated and warned about as a
very bad thing in the man pages since its inception there are a few real
users of sys_sysctl. It was my assumption that because sysctl had been
deprecated for all of 2.6 there would be no user space users by this point,
so I initially gave sys_sysctl a very short deprecation period.
Now that I know there are a few real users the only sane way to proceed
with deprecation is to push the time limit out to a year or two work and
work with distributions that have big testing pools like fedora core to
find these last remaining users.
Which means that the sys_sysctl interface needs to be maintained in the
meantime.
Since I have provided a technical measure that allows us to add new sysctl
entries without reserving more binary numbers I believe that is enough to
fix the sys_sysctl binary interface maintenance problems, because there is
no longer a need to change the binary interface at all.
Since the sys_sysctl implementation needs to stay around for a while and
the worst of the maintenance issues that caused us to occasionally break
the ABI have been addressed I don't see any advantage in continuing with
the removal of sys_sysctl.
So instead of merely increasing the deprecation period this patch removes
the deprecation of sys_sysctl and modifies the kernel to compile the code
in by default.
With committing to maintain sys_sysctl we get all of the advantages of a
fast interface for anything that needs it. Currently sys_sysctl is about
5x faster than /proc/sys, for the same string data.

suspend and the appended patch makes this happen, but then there is the
question if they don't cause any data to be written to disks after the suspend
image has been created, provided that all filesystems are frozen at that time.

[PATCH] md: change ONLINE/OFFLINE events to a single CHANGE event
It turns out that CHANGE is preferred to ONLINE/OFFLINE for various reasons
(not least of which being that udev understands it already).
So remove the recently added KOBJ_OFFLINE (no-one is likely to care anyway)
and change the ONLINE to a CHANGE event

All device-mapper targets must complete outstanding I/O before suspending.
The mirror target generates I/O in its recovery phase and fails to wait for
it. It needs to be tracked so we can ensure that it has completed before we
suspend.

When adding paths to the round-robin path selector, their order gets inverted,

There is a race between dev_create() and find_device().
If the mdptr has not yet been stored against a device, find_device() needs to
behave as though no device was found. It already returns NULL, but there is a
dm_put() missing: it must drop the reference dm_get_md() took.
The bug was introduced by dm-fix-mapped-device-ref-counting.patch.
It manifests itself if another dm ioctl attempts to reference a newly-created
device while the device creation ioctl is still running. The consequence is
that the device cannot be removed until the machine is rebooted. Certain udev
configurations can lead to this happening.

[PATCH] nfsd4: fix open-create permissions
In the case where an open creates the file, we shouldn't be rechecking
permissions to open the file; the open succeeds regardless of what the new
file's mode bits say.
This patch fixes the problem, but only by introducing yet another parameter
to nfsd_create_v3. This is ugly. This will be fixed by later patches.

If the microcode driver is built in (rather than module) there are some,
ehm, interesting effects happening due to the new "call out to userspace"
behavior that is introduced.. and which runs too early. The result is a
boot hang; which is really nasty.
The patch below is a minimally safe patch to fix this regression for 2.6.19
by just not requesting actual microcode updates during early boot. (That
is a good idea in general anyway)
The "real" fix is a lot more complex given the entire cpu hotplug scenario
(during cpu hotplug you normally need to load the microcode as well); but
the interactions for that are just really messy at this point; this fix at
least makes it work and avoids a full detangle of hotplug.

[CIFS] Fix mount failure when domain not specified
Fixes Samba bugzilla #4176
When users do not specify their domain on mount, 2.6.18 started sending
default domain instead of a null domain (which was the only way on some
servers to use a default domain). Users of 2.6.18 who did not specify
their domain name on mounts to certain common Windows servers that were
members of a domain, but not the domain controller, would get mount
failures which they did not get in 2.6.18
This fixes that issue and should remove complaints about mount
behavior changing.
Since the "mask" bit is in the low word, when we write a new entry, we
need to write the high word first, before we potentially unmask it.
The exception is when we actually want to mask the interrupt, in which
case we want to write the low word first to make sure that the high word
doesn't change while the interrupt routing is still active.

order to then fix the ordering issues.
We move the accessor functions (that were only used by io_apic.c) out of
a header file, and use proper memory-mapped accesses rather than making
up our own "volatile" pointers.

most of the time _anyway_), it does more harm than good.
