Taskstats fix the structure members alignment issue

The assumption made in xprt_transmit() that the condition

should imply that we're dealing with a retransmission is false.
Firstly, it may simply happen that the socket send queue was full
at the time the request was initially sent through xprt_transmit().
Secondly, doing this for each request that was retransmitted implies
that we disconnect and reconnect for _every_ request that happened to
be retransmitted irrespective of whether or not a disconnection has
already occurred.
Fix is to move this logic into the call_status request timeout handler.

[MIPS] Fix wrong checksum for split TCP packets on 64-bit MIPS
I've traced down an off-by-one TCP checksum calculation error under
the following conditions:
1) The TCP code needs to split a full-sized packet due to a reduced
MSS (typically due to the addition of TCP options mid-stream like
SACK).
_AND_
2) The checksum of the 2nd fragment is larger than the checksum of the
original packet. After subtraction this results in a checksum for
the 1st fragment with bits 16..31 set to 1. (this is ok)
_AND_
3) The checksum of the 1st fragment's TCP header plus the previously
32bit checksum of the 1st fragment DOES NOT cause a 32bit overflow
when added together. This results in a checksum of the TCP header
plus TCP data that still has the upper 16 bits as 1's.
_THEN_
4) The TCP+data checksum is added to the checksum of the pseudo IP
header with csum_tcpudp_nofold() incorrectly (the bug).
The problem is the checksum of the TCP+data is passed to
csum_tcpudp_nofold() as an 32bit unsigned value, however the assembly
code acts on it as if it is a 64bit unsigned value.
This causes an incorrect 32->64bit extension if the sum has bit 31
set. The resulting checksum is off by one.
This problems is data and TCP header dependent due to #2 and #3
above so it doesn't occur on every TCP packet split.

The basic structure of "normal" UDP/IP/Ethernet
frames (that actually work):
- It starts with the Ethernet header (dest MAC, src MAC, etc.)
- The next part is occupied by the IP header (version info, length of
packet, id=0, fragment offset=0, checksum, from / to address, etc.)
- Then comes the UDP header (src / dest port, length, checksum)
- Actual payload
- Ethernet checksum
Now what's different for IP fragment:
- The IP header has id set to some value (same for all fragments),
offset is set appropriately (i.e. 0 for first fragment, following
according to size of other fragments), size is the length of the frame.
- UDP header is unchanged. I.e. length is according to full UDP
datagram, not just the part within the actual frame! But this is only
true within the first frame: all following frames don't have a valid
UDP-header at all.
The spidernet silicon seems to be quite intelligent: It's able to
compute (IP / UDP / Ethernet) checksums on the fly and tests if frames
are conforming to RFC -- at least conforming to RFC on complete frames.
But IP fragments are different as explained above:
I.e. for IP fragments containing part of a UDP datagram it sees
incompatible length in the headers for IP and UDP in the first frame
and, thus, skips this frame. But the content *is* correct for IP
fragments. For all following frames it finds (most probably) no valid
UDP header at all. But this *is* also correct for IP fragments.
The Linux IP-stack seems to be clever in this point. It expects the
spidernet to calculate the checksum (since the module claims to be able
to do so) and marks the skb's for "normal" frames accordingly
(ip_summed set to CHECKSUM_HW).
But for the IP fragments it does not expect the driver to be capable to
handle the frames appropriately. Thus all checksums are allready
computed. This is also flaged within the skb (ip_summed set to
CHECKSUM_NONE).
Unfortunately the spidernet driver ignores that hints. It tries to send
the IP fragments of UDP datagrams as normal UDP/IP frames. Since they
have different structure the silicon detects them the be not
"well-formed" and skips them.
The following one-liner against 2.6.21-rc2 changes this behavior. If the
IP-stack claims to have done the checksumming, the driver should not
try to checksum (and analyze) the frame but send it as is.

In response to this problem, a patch was made that invoked sock_orphan on

[SCTP]: Do not interleave non-fragments when in partial delivery
The way partial delivery is currently implemnted, it is possible to
intereleave a message (either from another steram, or unordered) that
is not part of partial delivery process. The only way to this is for
a message to not be a fragment and be 'in order' or unorderd for a
given stream. This will result in bypassing the reassembly/ordering
queues where things live duing partial delivery, and the
message will be delivered to the socket in the middle of partial delivery.
This is a two-fold problem, in that:
1. the app now must check the stream-id and flags which it may not
be doing.
2. this clearing partial delivery state from the association and results
in ulp hanging.
This patch is a band-aid over a much bigger problem in that we

In current implementation, LKSCTP does receive buffer accounting for
data in sctp_receive_queue and pd_lobby. However, LKSCTP don't do
accounting for data in frag_list when data is fragmented. In addition,
LKSCTP doesn't do accounting for data in reasm and lobby queue in
structure sctp_ulpq.
When there are date in these queue, assertion failed message is printed
in inet_sock_destruct because sk_rmem_alloc of oldsk does not become 0
when socket is destroyed.

In net poll mode, the current checksum function doesn't consider the
kind of packet which is padded to reach a specific minimum length. I
believe that's the problem causing my test case failed. The following
patch fixed this issue.

[KEY]: Fix conversion between IPSEC_MODE_xxx and XFRM_MODE_xxx.
We should not blindly convert between IPSEC_MODE_xxx and XFRM_MODE_xxx just
by incrementing / decrementing because the assumption is not true any longer.

[NET]: Get rid of alloc_skb_from_cache
Since this was added originally for Xen, and Xen has recently (~2.6.18)
stopped using this function, we can safely get rid of it. Good timing
too since this function has started to bit rot.

cache_k8_northbridges() is storing config values to incorrect locations
(in flush_words) and also its overflowing beyond the allocation, causing
slab verification failures.
IB/mthca: Fix data corruption after FMR unmap on Sinai
In mthca_arbel_fmr_unmap(), the high bits of the key are masked off.
This gets rid of the effect of adjust_key(), which makes sure that
bits 3 and 23 of the key are equal when the Sinai throughput
optimization is enabled, and so it may happen that an FMR will end up
with bits 3 and 23 in the key being different. This causes data
corruption, because when enabling the throughput optimization, the
driver promises the HCA firmware that bits 3 and 23 of all memory keys
will always be equal.
Fix by re-applying adjust_key() after masking the key.
Thanks to Or Gerlitz for reproducing the problem, and Ariel Shahar for
help in debug.

[PATCH] x86: Fix potential overflow in perfctr reservation
While reviewing this code again I found a potential overflow of the bitmap.
The p4 oprofile can theoretically set bits beyond the reservation bitmap for
specific configurations. Avoid that by sizing the bitmaps properly.
Due to an over aggressive optimizer gcc 4.2 cannot optimize away _proxy_pda
in all cases (counter intuitive, but true). This breaks loading of some
modules.
The earlier workaround to just export a dummy symbol didn't work unfortunately
because the module code ignores exports with 0 value.
Fix logic error in VMI relocation processing. NOPs would always cause
a BUG_ON to fire because the != RELOCATION_NONE in the first if clause
precluding the == VMI_RELOCATION_NOP in the second clause. Make these
direct equality tests and just warn for unsupported relocation types
(which should never happen), falling back to native in that case.
NFS: Ensure PG_writeback is cleared when writeback fails
If the writebacks are cancelled via nfs_cancel_dirty_list, or due to the
memory allocation failing in nfs_flush_one/nfs_flush_multi, then we must
ensure that the PG_writeback flag is cleared.
Also ensure that we actually own the PG_writeback flag whenever we
schedule a new writeback by making nfs_set_page_writeback() return the
value of test_set_page_writeback().
The PG_writeback page flag ends up replacing the functionality of the
PG_FLUSHING nfs_page flag, so we rip that out too.

[SCSI] 3w-xxxx: fix oops caused by incorrect REQUEST_SENSE handling
3w-xxxx emulates a REQUEST_SENSE response by simply returning nothing.
Unfortunately, it's assuming that the REQUEST_SENSE command is
implemented with use_sg == 0, which is no longer the case. The oops
occurs because it's clearing the scatterlist in request_buffer instead
of the memory region.
This is fixed by using tw_transfer_internal() to transfer correctly to
the scatterlist.
