Jesper noted that kmem_cache_destroy() invokes synchronize_rcu() rather than
rcu_barrier() in the SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU case, which could result in RCU
callbacks accessing a kmem_cache after it had been destroyed.

There's some odd bug in gcc-4.2 where it miscompiles a simple loop whent
he loop counter is of type 'unsigned char' and it should count to 128.
The compiler will incorrectly decide that a trivial loop like this:
unsigned char i, ...
for (i = 0; i < 128; i++) {
..
is endless, and will compile it to a single instruction that just
branches to itself.
This was triggered by the addition of '-fno-strict-overflow', and we
could play games with compiler versions and go back to '-fwrapv'
instead, but the trivial way to avoid it is to just make the loop
induction variable be an 'int' instead.
Thanks to Krzysztof Oledzki for reporting and testing and to Troy Moure
for digging through assembler differences and finding it.

This causes kernel images that don't run init to completion with certain
broken gcc versions.
This fixes kernel bugzilla entry:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13012
I suspect the gcc problem is this:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28230
Fix the problem by using the -fno-strict-overflow flag instead, which
not only does not exist in the known-to-be-broken versions of gcc (it
was introduced later than fwrapv), but seems to be much less disturbing
to gcc too: the difference in the generated code by -fno-strict-overflow
are smaller (compared to using neither flag) than when using -fwrapv.

This patch fixes MTU problem, which occurs when using 802.1q VLANs. We
should allow receiving frames of up to 1518 bytes in length, instead of
1514.
Based on patch written by Ben McKeegan for 2.4.x kernels. It is archived
at http://www.candelatech.com/~greear/vlan/howto.html#tulip
I've adjusted a few things to make it apply on 2.6.x kernels.

This fixes kernel.org bug #13584. The IOVA code attempted to optimise
the insertion of new ranges into the rbtree, with the unfortunate result
that some ranges just didn't get inserted into the tree at all. Then
those ranges would be handed out more than once, and things kind of go
downhill from there.
This patch removes the dependency of mmap_min_addr on CONFIG_SECURITY.
It also sets a default mmap_min_addr of 4096.
mmapping of addresses below 4096 will only be possible for processes
with CAP_SYS_RAWIO.

We have found that the current PER_CLEAR_ON_SETID mask on Linux doesn't
include neither ADDR_COMPAT_LAYOUT, nor MMAP_PAGE_ZERO.
The current mask is READ_IMPLIES_EXEC|ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE.
We believe it is important to add MMAP_PAGE_ZERO, because by using this
personality it is possible to have the first page mapped inside a
process running as setuid root. This could be used in those scenarios:
- Exploiting a NULL pointer dereference issue in a setuid root binary
- Bypassing the mmap_min_addr restrictions of the Linux kernel: by
running a setuid binary that would drop privileges before giving us
control back (for instance by loading a user-supplied library), we
could get the first page mapped in a process we control. By further
using mremap and mprotect on this mapping, we can then completely
bypass the mmap_min_addr restrictions.
Less importantly, we believe ADDR_COMPAT_LAYOUT should also be added
since on x86 32bits it will in practice disable most of the address
space layout randomization (only the stack will remain randomized).

Turning on this flag could prevent the compiler from optimising away

After downing/upping a cpu, an attempt to set
/proc/sys/vm/percpu_pagelist_fraction results in an oops in
percpu_pagelist_fraction_sysctl_handler().
If a processor is downed then we need to set the pageset pointer back to
the boot pageset.
Updates of the high water marks should not access pagesets of unpopulated
zones (those pointer go to the boot pagesets which would be no longer
functional if their size would be increased beyond zero).
When decoding (N)RPN sequencer events into raw MIDI commands, the
extra_decode_xrpn() function had accidentally swapped the MSB and LSB
controller values of both the parameter number and the data value.
According to the PCI PM specification (PCI Bus Power Management
Interface Specification, Rev. 1.2, Section 5.4.1) we are supposed to
reinitialize devices that have PCI_PM_CTRL_NO_SOFT_RESET clear during
all transitions from PCI_D3hot to PCI_D0, but we only do it if the
device's current_state field is equal to PCI_UNKNOWN.
This may lead to problems if a device with PCI_PM_CTRL_NO_SOFT_RESET
unset is put into PCI_D3hot at run time by its driver and
pci_set_power_state() is used to put it back into PCI_D0, because in
that case the device will remain uninitialized after
pci_set_power_state() has returned. Prevent that from happening by
modifying pci_raw_set_power_state() to reinitialize devices with
PCI_PM_CTRL_NO_SOFT_RESET unset during all transitions from D3 to D0.

If a PCI device is not power-manageable either by the platform, or
with the help of the native PCI PM interface, pci_target_state() will
return either PCI_D3hot, or PCI_POWER_ERROR for it, depending on
whether or not the device is configured to wake up the system. Alas,
none of these return values is correct, because each of them causes
pci_prepare_to_sleep() to return error code, although it should
complete successfully in such a case.

parport_pc_probe_port() creates the own 'parport_pc' device if the
device argument is NULL. Then parport_pc_probe_port() doesn't
initialize the dma_mask and coherent_dma_mask of the device and calls
dma_alloc_coherent with it. dma_alloc_coherent fails because
dma_alloc_coherent() doesn't accept the uninitialized dma_mask:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/6/16/150
Long ago, X86_32 and X86_64 had the own dma_alloc_coherent
implementations; X86_32 accepted a device having dma_mask that is not
initialized however X86_64 didn't. When we merged them, we chose to
prohibit a device having dma_mask that is not initialized. I think
that it's good to require drivers to set up dma_mask (and
coherent_dma_mask) properly if the drivers want DMA.

I'm trying to use the TCP_MAXSEG option to setsockopt() to set the MSS
for both sides of a bidirectional connection.
man tcp says: "If this option is set before connection establishment, it
also changes the MSS value announced to the other end in the initial
packet."
However, the kernel only uses the MTU/route cache to set the advertised
MSS. That means if I set the MSS to, say, 500 before calling connect(),
I will send at most 500-byte packets, but I will still receive 1500-byte
packets in reply.
This is a bug, either in the kernel or the documentation.
This patch (applies to latest net-2.6) reduces the advertised value to
that requested by the user as long as setsockopt() is called before
connect() or accept(). This seems like the behavior that one would
expect as well as that which is documented.
I've tried to make sure that things that depend on the advertised MSS
are set correctly.

The floppy driver requests an I/O port it doesn't need, and sometimes this
causes a conflict with a motherboard device reported by PNPBIOS.
This patch makes the floppy driver request and release only the ports it
actually uses. It also factors out the request/release stuff and the
io-ports list so they're all in one place now.
but it requests 0x3f2-0x3f5 and 0x3f7, which includes the unused port
0x3f3.
Some BIOSes report 0x3f3 as a motherboard resource. The PNP system driver
reserves that, which causes a conflict when the floppy driver requests
0x3f2-0x3f5 later.
Philippe reported that this conflict broke the floppy driver between
2.6.11 and 2.6.22. His PNPBIOS reports these devices:
$ cat 00:03/id 00:03/resources # floppy device
PNP0700
state = active
io 0x3f4-0x3f5
io 0x3f2-0x3f2

Michael Tokarev reported receiving a large packet could crash
a machine with RTL8169 NIC.
( original thread at http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/6/8/192 )
Problem is this driver tells that NIC frames up to 16383 bytes
can be received but provides skb to rx ring allocated with
smaller sizes (1536 bytes in case standard 1500 bytes MTU is used)
When a frame larger than what was allocated by driver is received,
dma transfert can occurs past the end of buffer and corrupt
kernel memory.
Fix is to tell to NIC what is the maximum size a frame can be.
This bug is very old, (before git introduction, linux-2.6.10), and
should be backported to stable versions.

In commit code, we scan buffers attached to a transaction. During this
scan, we sometimes have to drop j_list_lock and then we recheck whether
the journal buffer head didn't get freed by journal_try_to_free_buffers().
But checking for buffer_jbd(bh) isn't enough because a new journal head
could get attached to our buffer head. So add a check whether the journal
head remained the same and whether it's still at the same transaction and
list.
This is a nasty bug and can cause problems like memory corruption (use after
free) or trigger various assertions in JBD code (observed).

There's a bug in the mxser kernel module that still appears in the
2.6.29.4 kernel.
mxser_get_ISA_conf takes a ioaddress as its first argument, by passing the
not of the ioaddr, you're effectively passing 0 which means it won't be
able to talk to an ISA card. I have tested this, and removing the !
fixes the problem.
In moxa.c there are 32 minor numbers reserved for each device. The number
of ports actually available per device is stored in
moxa_board_conf->numPorts. This number is not considered in moxa_open().
Opening a port that is not available results in a kernel oops. This patch
adds a test to moxa_open() that prevents opening unavailable ports.

netmos serial/parallel adapters come in different flavour differing only
by the number of parallel and serial ports, which are encoded in the
subdevice ID.
Last fix of Christian Pellegrin for 9855 2P2S broke support for 9855 1P4S,
and works only by side-effect for the first parallel port of a 2P2S, as
this first parallel port is found by reading the second addr entry of
(struct parport_pc_pci) cards[netmos_9855], which is not initialized, and
hence has value 0, which happens to be the BAR of the first parallel port.
netmos_9xx5_combo entry in (struct parport_pc_pci) cards[], which is used
for a 9845 1P4S must also be fixed for the parallel port support when
there are 4 serial ports because this entry currently gives 2 as BAR index
for the parallel port. Actually, in this case, BAR 2 is the 3rd serial
port while the parallel port is at BAR 4.
I fixed 9845 1P4S and 9855 1P4S support, while preserving 9855 2P2S support,
- by creating a netmos_9855_2p entry and using it for 9855 boards with 2
parallel ports : 9855 2P2S and 9855 2P0S boards,
- and by allowing netmos_parallel_init to change not only the number of
parallel ports (0 or 1), but making it also change the BAR index of the
parallel port when the serial ports are before the parallel port.
PS: the netmos_9855_2p entry in (struct pciserial_board)
pci_parport_serial_boards[] is needed because netmos_parallel_init has no
clean way to replace FL_BASE2 by FL_BASE4 in the description of the serial
ports in function of the number of parallel ports on the card.

If two CPU's simultaneously call ext4_ext_get_blocks() at the same
time, there is nothing protecting the i_cached_extent structure from
being used and updated at the same time. This could potentially cause
the wrong location on disk to be read or written to, including
potentially causing the corruption of the block group descriptors
and/or inode table.
This bug has been in the ext4 code since almost the very beginning of
ext4's development. Fortunately once the data is stored in the page
cache cache, ext4_get_blocks() doesn't need to be called, so trying to
replicate this problem to the point where we could identify its root
cause was *extremely* difficult. Many thanks to Kevin Shanahan for
working over several months to be able to reproduce this easily so we
could finally nail down the cause of the corruption.
The BH_Unwritten flag indicates that the buffer is allocated on disk
but has not been written; that is, the disk was part of a persistent
preallocation area. That flag should only be set when a get_blocks()
function is looking up a inode's logical to physical block mapping.
When ext4_get_blocks_wrap() is called with create=1, the uninitialized
extent is converted into an initialized one, so the BH_Unwritten flag
is no longer appropriate. Hence, we need to make sure the
BH_Unwritten is not left set, since the combination of BH_Mapped and
BH_Unwritten is not allowed; among other things, it will result ext4's
get_block() to be called over and over again during the write_begin
phase of write(2).
Use a very large unsigned number (~0xffff) as as the fake block number
for the delayed new buffer. The VFS should never try to write out this
number, but if it does, this will make it obvious.
We need to mark the buffer_head mapping preallocated space as new
during write_begin. Otherwise we don't zero out the page cache content
properly for a partial write. This will cause file corruption with
preallocation.
Now that we mark the buffer_head new we also need to have a valid
buffer_head blocknr so that unmap_underlying_metadata() unmaps the
correct block.
Don't try to look at i_file_acl_high unless the INCOMPAT_64BIT feature
bit is set. The field is normally zero, but older versions of e2fsck
didn't automatically check to make sure of this, so in the spirit of
"be liberal in what you accept", don't look at i_file_acl_high unless
we are using a 64-bit filesystem.
If the block containing external extended attributes (which is stored
in i_file_acl and i_file_acl_high) is larger than the on-disk
filesystem, the process which tried to access the extended attributes
will endlessly issue kernel printks complaining that
"__find_get_block_slow() failed", locking up that CPU until the system
is forcibly rebooted.
So when we read in the inode, make sure the i_file_acl value is legal,
and if not, flag the filesystem as being corrupted.

With delayed allocation we should not/cannot discard inode prealloc
space during file close. We would still have dirty pages for which we
haven't allocated blocks yet. With this fix after each get_blocks
request we check whether we have zero reserved blocks and if yes and
we don't have any writers on the file we discard inode prealloc space.
When renaming a file such that a link to another inode is overwritten,
force any delay allocated blocks that to be allocated so that if the
filesystem is mounted with data=ordered, the data blocks will be
pushed out to disk along with the journal commit. Many application
programs expect this, so we do this to avoid zero length files if the
system crashes unexpectedly.

unexpectedly.
Add an ioctl which forces all of the delay allocated blocks to be
allocated. This also provides a function ext4_alloc_da_blocks() which
will be used by the following commits to force files to be fully
allocated to preserve application-expected ext3 behaviour.
Some poeple are reading the ext4 feature list too literally and create
dubious test cases involving very long filenames and 1k blocksize and
then complain when they run into an htree-imposed limit. So add fine
print to the "fix 32000 subdirectory limit" ext4 feature.
ext4_iget() returns -ESTALE if invoked on a deleted inode, in order to
report errors to NFS properly. However, in ext4_lookup(), this
-ESTALE can be propagated to userspace if the filesystem is corrupted
such that a directory entry references a deleted inode. This leads to
a misleading error message - "Stale NFS file handle" - and confusion
on the part of the admin.
The bug can be easily reproduced by creating a new filesystem, making
a link to an unused inode using debugfs, then mounting and attempting
to ls -l said link.
This patch thus changes ext4_lookup to return -EIO if it receives
-ESTALE from ext4_iget(), as ext4 does for other filesystem metadata
corruption; and also invokes the appropriate ext*_error functions when
this case is detected.
At the moment there are few restrictions on which flags may be set on
which inodes. Specifically DIRSYNC may only be set on directories and
IMMUTABLE and APPEND may not be set on links. Tighten that to disallow
TOPDIR being set on non-directories and only NODUMP and NOATIME to be set
on non-regular file, non-directories.
Introduces a flags masking function which masks flags based on mode and
use it during inode creation and when flags are set via the ioctl to
facilitate future consistency.
At present INDEX and EXTENTS are the only flags that new ext4 inodes do
NOT inherit from their parent. In addition prevent the flags DIRTY,
ECOMPR, IMAGIC, TOPDIR, HUGE_FILE and EXT_MIGRATE from being inherited.
List inheritable flags explicitly to prevent future flags from
accidentally being inherited.
This fixes the TOPDIR flag inheritance bug reported at
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9866.
so it's critical that we get the right group number back for
this prealloc context, to lock the right group (the one
associated with this pa) and prevent concurrent list manipulation.
however, ext4_mb_put_pa() passes in (pa->pa_pstart - 1) with a
comment, "-1 is to protect from crossing allocation group".
This makes sense for the group_pa, where pa_pstart is advanced
by the length which has been used (in ext4_mb_release_context()),
and when the entire length has been used, pa_pstart has been
advanced to the first block of the next group.
However, for inode_pa, pa_pstart is never advanced; it's just
set once to the first block in the group and not moved after
that. So in this case, if we subtract one in ext4_mb_put_pa(),
we are actually locking the *previous* group, and opening the
race with the other threads which do not subtract off the extra
block.
oopsed, with a BUG_ON in ext4_mb_normalize_request because
size == EXT4_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP
It appears to me (esp. after talking to Andreas) that the BUG_ON
is bogus; a request of exactly EXT4_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP should
be allowed, though larger sizes do indicate a problem.
Fix that an another (apparently rare) codepath with a similar check.
The ext4_ext_search_right() function is confusing; it uses a
"depth" variable which is 0 at the root and maximum at the leaves,
but the on-disk metadata uses a "depth" (actually eh_depth) which
is opposite: maximum at the root, and 0 at the leaves.
The ext4_ext_check_header() function is given a depth and checks
the header agaisnt that depth; it expects the on-disk semantics,
but we are giving it the opposite in the while loop in this
function. We should be giving it the on-disk notion of "depth"
which we can get from (p_depth - depth) - and if you look, the last
(more commonly hit) call to ext4_ext_check_header() does just this.
Sending in the wrong depth results in (incorrect) messages
about corruption:
EXT4-fs error (device sdb1): ext4_ext_search_right: bad header
in inode #2621457: unexpected eh_depth - magic f30a, entries 340,
max 340(0), depth 1(2)

I believe that this is because ext4_free_inode() uses atomic
bitops, and although ext4_new_inode() *used* to also use atomic
bitops for synchronization, commit 393418676a7602e1d7d3f6e560159c65c8cbd50e changed this to use
the sb_bgl_lock, so that we could also synchronize against
read_inode_bitmap and initialization of uninit inode tables.
However, that change left ext4_free_inode using atomic bitops,
which I think leaves no synchronization between setting &
unsetting bits in the inode table.
The below patch fixes it for me, although I wonder if we're
getting at all heavy-handed with this spinlock...
pid doesn't count with some band having more bitrates than the one
associated the first time.
Fix that by counting the maximal available bitrate count and allocate
big enough space.
Secondly, fix touching uninitialized memory which causes panics.
Index sucked from this random memory points to the hell.
The fix is to sort the rates on each band change.
Also remove a comment which is wrong now.

V4L/DVB (10943): cx88: Prevent general protection fault on rmmod
When unloading the cx8800 driver I sometimes get a general protection
fault. Analysis revealed a race in cx88_ir_stop(). It can be solved by
using a delayed work instead of a timer for infrared input polling.
Pascal reported and bisected a commit:
| x86/PCI: don't call e820_all_mapped with -1 in the mmconfig case
which broke one system system.
ACPI: Using IOAPIC for interrupt routing
PCI: MCFG configuration 0: base f0000000 segment 0 buses 0 - 255
PCI: MCFG area at f0000000 reserved in ACPI motherboard resources
PCI: Using MMCONFIG for extended config space
it didn't have
PCI: updated MCFG configuration 0: base f0000000 segment 0 buses 0 - 63
anymore, and try to use 0xf000000 - 0xffffffff for mmconfig
For 32bit, mcfg_res->end could be 32bit only (if 64 resources aren't used)
So use end - 1 to pass the value in mcfg->end to avoid overflow.
We don't need to worry about the e820 path, they are always 64 bit.
On x86 and x86-64, it is possible that page tables are shared beween
shared mappings backed by hugetlbfs. As part of this,
page_table_shareable() checks a pair of vma->vm_flags and they must match
if they are to be shared. All VMA flags are taken into account, including
VM_LOCKED.
The problem is that VM_LOCKED is cleared on fork(). When a process with a
shared memory segment forks() to exec() a helper, there will be shared
VMAs with different flags. The impact is that the shared segment is
sometimes considered shareable and other times not, depending on what
process is checking.
What happens is that the segment page tables are being shared but the
count is inaccurate depending on the ordering of events. As the page
tables are freed with put_page(), bad pmd's are found when some of the
children exit. The hugepage counters also get corrupted and the Total and
Free count will no longer match even when all the hugepage-backed regions
are freed. This requires a reboot of the machine to "fix".
This patch addresses the problem by comparing all flags except VM_LOCKED
when deciding if pagetables should be shared or not for hugetlbfs-backed
mapping.

The option driver (and presumably others) allocates several URBs when it
opens and tries to free them when it closes. The isp1760_urb_dequeue
function gets called, but the packet being dequeued is not necessarily at
the
front of one of the 32 queues. If not, the isp1760_urb_done function doesn't
get called for the URB and the process trying to free it hangs forever on a
wait_queue. This patch does two things. If the URB being dequeued has others
queued behind it, it re-queues them. And it searches the queues looking for
the URB being dequeued rather than just looking at the one at the front of
the queue.
Kernel 2.6.18 broke the MotU Fastlane, which uses duplicate endpoint

the correct descriptors.

SELinux: BUG in SELinux compat_net code
This patch is not applicable to Linus's tree as the code in question has
been removed for 2.6.30. I'm sending in case any of the stable
maintainers would like to push to their branches (which I think anything
pre 2.6.30 would like to do).
Ubuntu users were experiencing a kernel panic when they enabled SELinux
due to an old bug in our handling of the compatibility mode network
controls, introduced Jan 1 2008 effad8df44261031a882e1a895415f7186a5098e
Most distros have not used the compat_net code since the new code was
introduced and so noone has hit this problem before. Ubuntu is the only
distro I know that enabled that legacy cruft by default. But, I was ask
to look at it and found that the above patch changed a call to
avc_has_perm from if(send_perm) to if(!send_perm) in
selinux_ip_postroute_iptables_compat(). The result is that users who
turn on SELinux and have compat_net set can (and oftern will) BUG() in
avc_has_perm_noaudit since they are requesting 0 permissions.
This patch corrects that accidental bug introduction.

Martin Knoblauch reports that trying to build 2.6.30-rc6-git3 with
RHEL4.3 userspace (gcc (GCC) 3.4.5 20051201 (Red Hat 3.4.5-2)) causes an
internal compiler error (ICE):
and after some debugging it turns out that it's due to the code trying
to figure out the rough value of the current stack pointer by taking an
address of an uninitialized variable and casting that to an integer.
This is clearly a compiler bug, but it's not worth fighting - while the
current stack kernel pointer might be somewhat hard to predict in user
space, it's also not generally going to change for a lot of the call
chains for a particular process.
So just drop it, and mumble some incoherent curses at the compiler.

It's a really simple patch that basically just open-codes the current
"secure_ip_id()" call, but when open-coding it we now use a _static_
hashing area, so that it gets updated every time.
And to make sure somebody can't just start from the same original seed of
all-zeroes, and then do the "half_md4_transform()" over and over until
they get the same sequence as the kernel has, each iteration also mixes in
the same old "current->pid + jiffies" we used - so we should now have a
regular strong pseudo-number generator, but we also have one that doesn't
have a single seed.
Note: the "pid + jiffies" is just meant to be a tiny tiny bit of noise. It
has no real meaning. It could be anything. I just picked the previous
seed, it's just that now we keep the state in between calls and that will
feed into the next result, and that should make all the difference.
I made that hash be a per-cpu data just to avoid cache-line ping-pong:
having multiple CPU's write to the same data would be fine for randomness,
and add yet another layer of chaos to it, but since get_random_int() is
supposed to be a fast interface I did it that way instead. I considered
using "__raw_get_cpu_var()" to avoid any preemption overhead while still
getting the hash be _mostly_ ping-pong free, but in the end good taste won
out.
hugetlbfs reserves huge pages but does not fault them at mmap() time to
ensure that future faults succeed. The reservation behaviour differs
depending on whether the mapping was mapped MAP_SHARED or MAP_PRIVATE.
For MAP_SHARED mappings, hugepages are reserved when mmap() is first
called and are tracked based on information associated with the inode.
Other processes mapping MAP_SHARED use the same reservation. MAP_PRIVATE
track the reservations based on the VMA created as part of the mmap()
operation. Each process mapping MAP_PRIVATE must make its own
reservation.
hugetlbfs currently checks if a VMA is MAP_SHARED with the VM_SHARED flag
and not VM_MAYSHARE. For file-backed mappings, such as hugetlbfs,
VM_SHARED is set only if the mapping is MAP_SHARED and the file was opened
read-write. If a shared memory mapping was mapped shared-read-write for
populating of data and mapped shared-read-only by other processes, then
hugetlbfs would account for the mapping as if it was MAP_PRIVATE. This
causes processes to fail to map the file MAP_SHARED even though it should
succeed as the reservation is there.
This patch alters mm/hugetlb.c and replaces VM_SHARED with VM_MAYSHARE
when the intent of the code was to check whether the VMA was mapped
MAP_SHARED or MAP_PRIVATE.

Patch to fix bad length checking in e1000. E1000 by default does two
things:
1) Spans rx descriptors for packets that don't fit into 1 skb on recieve
2) Strips the crc from a frame by subtracting 4 bytes from the length prior to
doing an skb_put
Since the e1000 driver isn't written to support receiving packets that span
multiple rx buffers, it checks the End of Packet bit of every frame, and
discards it if its not set. This places us in a situation where, if we have a
spanning packet, the first part is discarded, but the second part is not (since
it is the end of packet, and it passes the EOP bit test). If the second part of
the frame is small (4 bytes or less), we subtract 4 from it to remove its crc,
underflow the length, and wind up in skb_over_panic, when we try to skb_put a
huge number of bytes into the skb. This amounts to a remote DOS attack through
careful selection of frame size in relation to interface MTU. The fix for this
is already in the e1000e driver, as well as the e1000 sourceforge driver, but no
one ever pushed it to e1000. This is lifted straight from e1000e, and prevents
small frames from causing the underflow described above

Sparc64 SBUS and PCI controllers use a combination of IMAP and ICLR
registers to manage device interrupts.
The IMAP register contains the "valid" enable bit as well as CPU
targetting information. Whereas the ICLR register is written with
zero at the end of handling an interrupt to reset the state machine
for that interrupt to IDLE so it can be sent again.
For PCI slot and SBUS slot devices we can have multiple interrupts
sharing the same IMAP register. There are individual ICLR registers
but only one IMAP register for managing those.
We represent each shared case with individual virtual IRQs so the
generic IRQ layer thinks there is only one user of the IRQ instance.
In such shared IMAP cases this is wrong, so if there are multiple
active users then a free_irq() call will prematurely turn off the
interrupt by clearing the Valid bit in the IMAP register even though
there are other active users.
Fix this by simply doing nothing in sun4u_disable_irq() and checking
IRQF_DISABLED during IRQ dispatch.
This situation doesn't exist in the hypervisor sun4v cases, so I left
those alone.

not the responsibility of request_resource functuion.
After 2.6.29 is out, there could be a check for uninitialized fields
