The (!np.dev) check in write_msg() is bogus (always false), because: np.dev is
set by netpoll_setup(), which is called by init_netconsole() before
register_console(), so write_msg() cannot be triggered unless netpoll_setup()
successfully set np.dev.  Also np.dev cannot go away from under us, because
netpoll_setup() grabs us reference on it.  So let's remove the bogus check.

The signature of the ->poll() call back goes from:

to

int foo_poll(struct napi_struct *napi, int budget)

the number of "NAPI credits" consumed if you want to get
abstract).  The callee no longer messes around bumping
dev->quota, *budget, etc. because that is all handled in the
caller upon return.

The napi_struct is to be embedded in the device driver private data
structures.

Furthermore, it is the driver's responsibility to disable all NAPI
instances in it's ->stop() device close handler.  Since the
napi_struct is privatized into the driver's private data structures,

17 years ago[IPv6]: Fix ICMPv6 redirect handling with target multicast address
Brian Haley [Mon, 8 Oct 2007 07:12:05 +0000 (00:12 -0700)]
[IPv6]: Fix ICMPv6 redirect handling with target multicast address

When the ICMPv6 Target address is multicast, Linux processes the
redirect instead of dropping it.  The problem is in this code in
ndisc_redirect_rcv():

         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;
         }

This second check will succeed if the Target address is, for example,
FF02::1 because it has link-local scope.  Instead, it should be checking
if it's a unicast link-local address, as stated in RFC 2461/4861 Section
8.1:

       - 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).

I know this doesn't explicitly say unicast link-local address, but it's
implied.

This bug is preventing Linux kernels from achieving IPv6 Logo Phase II
certification because of a recent error that was found in the TAHI test
suite - Neighbor Disovery suite test 206 (v6LC.2.3.6_G) had the
multicast address in the Destination field instead of Target field, so
we were passing the test.  This won't be the case anymore.

The patch below fixes this problem, and also fixes ndisc_send_redirect()
to not send an invalid redirect with a multicast address in the Target
field.  I re-ran the TAHI Neighbor Discovery section to make sure Linux
passes all 245 tests now.

[TCP]: Fix fastpath_cnt_hint when GSO skb is partially ACKed

When only GSO skb was partially ACKed, no hints are reset,
therefore fastpath_cnt_hint must be tweaked too or else it can
corrupt fackets_out. The corruption to occur, one must have
non-trivial ACK/SACK sequence, so this bug is not very often
that harmful. There's a fackets_out state reset in TCP because
fackets_out is known to be inaccurate and that fixes the issue
eventually anyway.

In case there was also at least one skb that got fully ACKed,
the fastpath_skb_hint is set to NULL which causes a recount for
fastpath_cnt_hint (the old value won't be accessed anymore),
thus it can safely be decremented without additional checking.

the PREEMPT_BITS part of the preempt counter if the process has mapped
more than about 512M of memory.

However, failing to take the pte locks causes write-protect faults when
the pageout code is trying to clear the Access bit on a pte which is part
of a freshy created and still being pinned process after fork.

This is a short-term fix until the problem is solved properly.

Serge Belyshev [Thu, 4 Oct 2007 21:10:04 +0000 (23:10 +0200)]
Remove unnecessary cast in prefetch()

It is ok to call prefetch() function with NULL argument, as specifically
commented in include/linux/prefetch.h.  But in standard C, it is invalid
to dereference NULL pointer (see C99 standard 6.5.3.2 paragraph 4 and
note #84).

prefetch() has a memory reference for its argument.

Newer gcc versions (4.3 and above) will use that to conclude that "x"
argument is non-null and thus wreaking havok everywhere prefetch() was
inlined.

Fixed by removing cast and changing asm constraint.

[ It seems in theory gcc 4.2 could miscompile this too; although no
  cases known.  In 2.6.24 we should probably switch to
  __builtin_prefetch() instead, but this is a simpler fix for now.
