The following situation was observed in the field:
tap1 sends packets, tap2 does not consume them, as a result
tap1 can not be closed. This happens because
tun/tap devices can hang on to skbs undefinitely.
As noted by Herbert, possible solutions include a timeout followed by a
copy/change of ownership of the skb, or always copying/changing
ownership if we're going into a hostile device.
This patch implements the second approach.
Note: one issue still remaining is that since skbs
keep reference to tun socket and tun socket has a
reference to tun device, we won't flush backlog,
instead simply waiting for all skbs to get transmitted.
At least this is not user-triggerable, and
this was not reported in practice, my assumption is
other devices besides tap complete an skb
within finite time after it has been queued.
A possible solution for the second issue
would not to have socket reference the device,
instead, implement dev->destructor for tun, and
wait for all skbs to complete there, but this
needs some thought, probably too risky for 2.6.34.

stmmac: new descriptor field for the driver's platform
The new enh_desc is used for selecting the enhanced descriptors
structure. There are several scenarios; some chips (mac10/100
or gmac) want to use the enhanced descriptors; others want the normal
ones.
For example, on ST platforms: MAC10/100 uses the normal desc structure
and the GMAC uses the enhanced one.
It can be useful to get this information from the platform.
This could also be decided at run-time looking at the chip's ID number;
but it could happen that chips with the same ID want to use different
descriptor structure.
Signed-off-by: Giuseppe Cavallaro <peppe.cavallaro@st.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Currently the driver assumes that the mac10/100 can only use the
normal descriptor structure and the gmac can only use the
enhanced structures.
This patch removes the descriptor's code from the dma files
and adds two new files just for handling the normal and enhanced
descriptors.

ipv4: ipmr: support multiple tables
This patch adds support for multiple independant multicast routing instances,
named "tables".
Userspace multicast routing daemons can bind to a specific table instance by
issuing a setsockopt call using a new option MRT_TABLE. The table number is
stored in the raw socket data and affects all following ipmr setsockopt(),
getsockopt() and ioctl() calls. By default, a single table (RT_TABLE_DEFAULT)
is created with a default routing rule pointing to it. Newly created pimreg
devices have the table number appended ("pimregX"), with the exception of
devices created in the default table, which are named just "pimreg" for
compatibility reasons.
Packets are directed to a specific table instance using routing rules,
similar to how regular routing rules work. Currently iif, oif and mark
are supported as keys, source and destination addresses could be supported
additionally.

Back in commit 04a0551c87363f100b04d28d7a15a632b70e18e7
("loopback: Drop obsolete ip_summed setting") we stopped
setting CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY in the loopback xmit.
This is because such a setting was a lie since it implies that the
checksum field of the packet is properly filled in.
Instead what happens normally is that CHECKSUM_PARTIAL is set and
skb->csum is calculated as needed.
But this was only happening for TCP data packets (via the
skb->ip_summed assignment done in tcp_sendmsg()). It doesn't
happen for non-data packets like ACKs etc.
Fix this by setting skb->ip_summed in the common non-data packet
constructor. It already is setting skb->csum to zero.
But this reminds us that we still have things like ip_output.c's
ip_dev_loopback_xmit() which sets skb->ip_summed to the value
CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY, which Herbert's patch teaches us is not
valid. So we'll have to address that at some point too.

radix_tree_tag_get() is not as safe as the docs make out [ver #2]
radix_tree_tag_get() is not safe to use concurrently with radix_tree_tag_set()
or radix_tree_tag_clear(). The problem is that the double tag_get() in
radix_tree_tag_get():
if (!tag_get(node, tag, offset))
saw_unset_tag = 1;
if (height == 1) {
int ret = tag_get(node, tag, offset);
may see the value change due to the action of set/clear. RCU is no protection
against this as no pointers are being changed, no nodes are being replaced
according to a COW protocol - set/clear alter the node directly.
The documentation in linux/radix-tree.h, however, says that
radix_tree_tag_get() is an exception to the rule that "any function modifying
the tree or tags (...) must exclude other modifications, and exclude any
functions reading the tree".
The problem is that the next statement in radix_tree_tag_get() checks that the
tag doesn't vary over time:
To this end, remove the BUG_ON() from radix_tree_tag_get() and note in various
comments that the value of the tag may change whilst the RCU read lock is held,
and thus that the return value of radix_tree_tag_get() may not be relied upon
unless radix_tree_tag_set/clear() and radix_tree_delete() are excluded from
running concurrently with it.

slub: Fix kmem_ptr_validate() for non-kernel pointers
As suggested by Linus, fix up kmem_ptr_validate() to handle non-kernel pointers
more graciously. The patch changes kmem_ptr_validate() to use the newly
introduced kern_ptr_validate() helper to check that a pointer is a valid kernel
pointer before we attempt to convert it into a 'struct page'.

[S390] nss: add missing .previous statement to asm function
The savesys_ipl_nss asm function is put into the .init.text section
however it is missing a ".previous" section which would restore the
previous section.
Luckily all functions in early.c are init functions so it doesn't
matter currently.

The default size of the vmalloc area is currently 1 GB. The memory resource
controller uses about 10 MB of vmalloc space per gigabyte of memory. That
turns a system with more than ~100 GB memory unbootable with the default
vmalloc size. It costs us nothing to increase the default size to some
more adequate value, e.g. 128 GB.

commit 6a985c6194017de2c062916ad1cd00dee0302c40
([S390] s390: use change recording override for kernel mapping)
deactivated the change bit recording for the kernel mapping to
improve the performance. This works most of the time, but there
are cases (e.g. kernel runs in home space, futex atomic compare xcmg)
where we modify user memory with the kernel mapping instead of the
user mapping.
Instead of fixing these cases, this patch just deactivates change bit
override to avoid future problems with other kernel code that might
use the kernel mapping for user memory.

If a machine check interrupts the io interrupt handler on one of the
instructions between io_return and io_leave the critical section
cleanup code will move the return psw to io_work_loop. By doing that
the switch from the asynchronous interrupt stack to the process stack
is skipped. If e.g. TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set things break because
the scheduler is called with the asynchronous interrupts stack.
Moving the psw back to io_return instead fixes the problem.

cfq-iosched: Fix the incorrect timeslice accounting with forced_dispatch
When CFQ dispatches requests forcefully due to a barrier or changing iosched,
it runs through all cfqq's dispatching requests and then expires each queue.
However, it does not activate a cfqq before flushing its IOs resulting in
using stale values for computing slice_used.
This patch fixes it by calling activate queue before flushing reuqests from
each queue.
This is useful mostly for barrier requests because when the iosched is changing
it really doesnt matter if we have incorrect accounting since we're going to
break down all structures anyway.
We also now expire the current timeslice before moving on with the dispatch
to accurately account slice used for that cfqq.

This value interacts with some registers we don't currently know how to

what the VBIOS on early DP cards do, but later ones use 6, which would
cause nouveau to program an incorrect mode on these chips.
