tcp: fix RTT for quick packets in congestion control
In the congestion control interface, the callback for each ACK
includes an estimated round trip time in microseconds.
Some algorithms need high resolution (Vegas style) but most only
need jiffie resolution. If RTT is not accurate (like a retransmission)
-1 is used as a flag value.
When doing coarse resolution if RTT is less than a a jiffie
then 0 should be returned rather than no estimate. Otherwise algorithms
that expect good ack's to trigger slow start (like CUBIC Hystart)
will be confused.

If Spanning Tree Protocol is not enabled, there is no good reason for
the bridge code to wait for the forwarding delay period before enabling
the link. The purpose of the forwarding delay is to allow STP to
learn about other bridges before nominating itself.
The only possible impact is that when starting up a new port
the bridge may flood a packet now, where previously it might have
seen traffic from the other host and preseeded the forwarding table.

drm/i915: Do not handle backlight combination mode specially
since this commit introduced other regressions due to untouched LBPC
register, e.g. the backlight dimmed after resume.
In addition to the revert, this patch includes a fix for the original
issue (weird backlight levels) by removing the wrong bit shift for
computing the current backlight level.
Also, including typo fixes (lpbc -> lbpc).
the df's will show that the inode is not freed on the filesystem until
the last step, when it could have been freed after killing the client's
tail -f. On-disk data won't be deallocated either, leading to possible
spurious ENOSPC.
This occurs because when the client does the close, it arrives in a
compound with a putfh and a close, processed like:
- putfh: look up the filehandle. The only alias found for the
inode will be DCACHE_UNHASHED alias referenced by the filp
this, so it creates a new DCACHE_DISCONECTED dentry and
returns that instead.
- close: closes the existing filp, which is destroyed
immediately by dput() since it's DCACHE_UNHASHED.
- end of the compound: release the reference
to the current filehandle, and dput() the new
DCACHE_DISCONECTED dentry, which gets put on the
unused list instead of being destroyed immediately.
Nick Piggin suggested fixing this by allowing d_obtain_alias to return
the unhashed dentry that is referenced by the filp, instead of making it
create a new dentry.
Leave __d_find_alias() alone to avoid changing behavior of other
callers.
Also nfsd doesn't need all the checks of __d_find_alias(); any dentry,
hashed or unhashed, disconnected or not, should work.

In the fallocate path the kernel doesn't check for the immutable/append

The reason we do that is to make sure we never bind an inetpeer to a
prefixed route.
The logic turned on here has existed in the tree for many years,
but was always off due to a protecting CPP define. So perhaps
it's no surprise that there is a logic bug here.
The problem is that we canot clone a route that is already a
host route (ie. has DST_HOST set). Because if we do, an identical
entry already exists in the routing tree and therefore the
ip6_rt_ins() call is going to fail.
This sets off a series of failures and high cpu usage, because when
ip6_rt_ins() fails we loop retrying this operation a few times in
order to handle a race between two threads trying to clone and insert
the same host route at the same time.
Fix this by simply using the route as-is when DST_HOST is set.

net: don't allow CAP_NET_ADMIN to load non-netdev kernel modules
Since a8f80e8ff94ecba629542d9b4b5f5a8ee3eb565c any process with
CAP_NET_ADMIN may load any module from /lib/modules/. This doesn't mean
that CAP_NET_ADMIN is a superset of CAP_SYS_MODULE as modules are
limited to /lib/modules/**. However, CAP_NET_ADMIN capability shouldn't

This patch restricts an ability of autoloading modules to netdev modules
with explicit aliases. This fixes CVE-2011-1019.
Arnd Bergmann suggested to leave untouched the old pre-v2.6.32 behavior
of loading netdev modules by name (without any prefix) for processes
with CAP_SYS_MODULE to maintain the compatibility with network scripts
that use autoloading netdev modules by aliases like "eth0", "wlan0".

The problem is that iSeries very early boot code, which generates
the device-tree and runs before our normal early initializations
does need access the lppaca's very early, before the PACA array is
initialized, and in fact even before the boot PACA has been
initialized (it contains all 0's at this stage).
However, the first patch above makes that code use the new
llpaca_of(cpu) accessor, which itself is changed by the second patch to
use the PACA array.
We fix that by reverting iSeries to directly dereferencing the array. In
addition, we fix all iterators in the iSeries code to always skip CPU
whose number is above 63 which is the maximum size of that array and
the maximum number of supported CPUs on these machines.
Additionally, we make sure the boot_paca is properly initialized
in our early startup code.

This patch fixes the following issues with the r6040 NIC operating in

hash table registers to make it process multicast traffic.
2) When the number of multicast address to handle is smaller than
MCAST_MAX, we should use the NIC multicast registers MID1_{L,M,H}.
3) The hashing of the address was not correct, due to an invalid
substraction (15 - (crc & 0x0f)) instead of (crc & 0x0f) and an
incorrect crc algorithm (ether_crc_le) instead of (ether_crc).
4) If necessary, we should set HASH_EN flag in MCR0 to enable multicast

bonding 802.3ad: Fix the state machine locking v2
Changes since v1:
* Clarify an unclear comment
* Move a (possible) name change to a separate patch
The ad_rx_machine, ad_periodic_machine and ad_port_selection_logic
functions all inspect and alter common fields within the port structure.
Previous to this patch, only the ad_rx_machines were mutexed, and the
periodic and port_selection could run unmutexed against an ad_rx_machine
trigged by an arriving LACPDU.
This patch remedies the situation by protecting all the state machines
from concurrency. This is accomplished by locking around all the state
machines for a given port, which are executed at regular intervals; and
the ad_rx_machine when handling an incoming LACPDU.

net: fix multithreaded signal handling in unix recv routines
The unix_dgram_recvmsg and unix_stream_recvmsg routines in
net/af_unix.c utilize mutex_lock(&u->readlock) calls in order to
serialize read operations of multiple threads on a single socket. This
implies that, if all n threads of a process block in an AF_UNIX recv
call trying to read data from the same socket, one of these threads
will be sleeping in state TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE and all others in state
TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE. Provided that a particular signal is supposed to
be handled by a signal handler defined by the process and that none of
this threads is blocking the signal, the complete_signal routine in
kernel/signal.c will select the 'first' such thread it happens to
encounter when deciding which thread to notify that a signal is
supposed to be handled and if this is one of the TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE
threads, the signal won't be handled until the one thread not blocking
on the u->readlock mutex is woken up because some data to process has
arrived (if this ever happens). The included patch fixes this by
changing mutex_lock to mutex_lock_interruptible and handling possible
error returns in the same way interruptions are handled by the actual
receive-code.

GPU semaphores is simply hiding another bug by the latency and

However, use of semaphores is a massive performance improvement... Only
as long as the system remains stable. Enable at your peril.

mm: use correct numa policy node for transparent hugepages
Pass down the correct node for a transparent hugepage allocation. Most
callers continue to use the current node, however the hugepaged daemon
now uses the previous node of the first to be collapsed page instead.
This ensures that khugepaged does not mess up local memory for an
existing process which uses local policy.
The choice of node is somewhat primitive currently: it just uses the
node of the first page in the pmd range. An alternative would be to
look at multiple pages and use the most popular node. I used the
simplest variant for now which should work well enough for the case of
all pages being on the same node.
