doing such preservations will nullify AUTH and allow connection

We currently check that iph->ihl is bounded by the real length and that
the real length is greater than the minimum IP header length. However,
we did not check the caes where iph->ihl is less than the minimum IP
header length.
This breaks because some ip_fast_csum implementations assume that which
is quite reasonable.

It is possible for the TX ring to have packets sit in it for unbounded
amounts of time.
The only way to defer TX interrupts in the chip is to periodically set
"mark" bits, when processing of a TX descriptor with the mark bit set
is complete it triggers the interrupt for the TX queue's LDG.
A consequence of this kind of scheme is that if packet flow suddenly
stops, the remaining TX packets will just sit there.
If this happens, since those packets could be charged to TCP socket
send queues, such sockets could get stuck.
The simplest solution is to divorce the socket ownership of the packet
once the device takes the SKB, by using skb_orphan() in
niu_start_xmit().
In hindsight, it would have been much nicer if the chip provided two
interrupt sources for TX (like basically every other ethernet chip
does). Namely, keep the "mark" bit, but also signal the LDG when the
TX queue becomes completely empty. That way there is no need to have
a deadlock breaker like this.

niu_slowpath_interrupt() expects values to be setup in lp->{v0,v1,v2}
but they aren't. That's only done by niu_schedule_napi() which is
done later in the interrupt path.
If niu_rx_error() returns zero, and v0 is clear, hit the
RX_DMA_CTL_STATE register with a RX_DMA_CTL_STAT_MEX.
Only emit verbose RX error logs if a fatal channel or port error is
signalled. Other cases will be recorded into statistics by
niu_log_rxchan_errors().

Roland Westrelin did a great analysis of a long standing thinko in the
return path of futex_lock_pi.
While we fixed the lock steal case long ago, which was easy to trigger,
we never had a test case which exposed this problem and stupidly never
thought about the reverse lock stealing scenario and the return to user
space with a stale state.
When a blocked tasks returns from rt_mutex_timed_locked without holding
the rt_mutex (due to a signal or timeout) and at the same time the task
holding the futex is releasing the futex and assigning the ownership of
the futex to the returning task, then it might happen that a third task
acquires the rt_mutex before the final rt_mutex_trylock() of the
returning task happens under the futex hash bucket lock. The returning
task returns to user space with ETIMEOUT or EINTR, but the user space
futex value is assigned to this task. The task which acquired the
rt_mutex fixes the user space futex value right after the hash bucket
lock has been released by the returning task, but for a short period of
time the user space value is wrong.
Detailed description is available at:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=400541
The fix for this is the same as we do when the rt_mutex was acquired by
a higher priority task via lock stealing from the designated new owner.
In that case we already fix the user space value and the internal
pi_state up before we return. This mechanism can be used to fixup the
above corner case as well. When the returning task, which failed to
acquire the rt_mutex, notices that it is the designated owner of the
futex, then it fixes up the stale user space value and the pi_state,
before returning to user space. This happens with the futex hash bucket
lock held, so the task which acquired the rt_mutex is guaranteed to be
blocked on the hash bucket lock. We can access the rt_mutex owner, which
gives us the pid of the new owner, safely here as the owner is not able
to modify (release) it while waiting on the hash bucket lock.
Rename the "curr" argument of fixup_pi_state_owner() to "newowner" to
avoid confusion with current and add the check for the stale state into
the failure path of rt_mutex_trylock() in the return path of
unlock_futex_pi(). If the situation is detected use
fixup_pi_state_owner() to assign everything to the owner of the
rt_mutex.

hfs seems prone to bad things when it encounters on disk corruption. Many
values are read from disk, and used as lengths to memcpy, as an example.
This patch fixes up several of these problematic cases.
o sanity check the on-disk maximum key lengths on mount
(these are set to a defined value at mkfs time and shouldn't differ)
o check on-disk node keylens against the maximum key length for each tree
o fix hfs_btree_open so that going out via free_tree: doesn't wind
up in hfs_releasepage, which wants to follow the very pointer
we were trying to set up:
HFS_SB(sb)->cat_tree = hfs_btree_open()
...
failure gets to hfs_releasepage and tries
to follow HFS_SB(sb)->cat_tree

makedumpfile creates a small dumpfile by excluding unnecessary pages for the

In 2.6.24-rc1 or later, the free_area.free_list is an array which has one list
for each migrate types instead of a single list. makedumpfile needs the array
length of "free_area.free_list" and the vmcoreinfo data should contain it.

This patch corrects some erroneous dentry handling in eCryptfs.
If there is a problem creating the lower file, then there is nothing that
the persistent lower file can do to really help us. This patch makes a
vfs_create() failure in the lower filesystem always lead to an
unconditional do_create failure in eCryptfs.
Under certain sequences of operations, the eCryptfs dentry can remain in
the dcache after an unlink. This patch calls d_drop() on the eCryptfs
dentry to correct this.
eCryptfs has no business calling d_delete() directly on a lower
filesystem's dentry. This patch removes the call to d_delete() on the
lower persistent file's dentry in ecryptfs_destroy_inode().

the bug was caused by maxcpus=1 bootup, which brought up the
secondary core as !cpu_online() but !cpu_is_offline() either,
which on on !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is always 0 (include/linux/cpu.h):
/* CPUs don't go offline once they're online w/o CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU */
static inline int cpu_is_offline(int cpu) { return 0; }
but the cpufreq code uses cpu_online() and cpu_is_offline() in
a mixed way - the low-level drivers use cpu_online(), while
the cpufreq core uses cpu_is_offline(). This opened up the
possibility to add the non-initialized sysdev device of the
secondary core:
cpufreq-core: trying to register driver powernow-k8
cpufreq-core: adding CPU 0
powernow-k8: BIOS error - no PSB or ACPI _PSS objects
cpufreq-core: initialization failed
cpufreq-core: adding CPU 1
cpufreq-core: initialization failed
which then blew up. The fix is to make cpu_is_offline() always
the negation of cpu_online(). With that fix applied the kernel
boots up fine without crashing:
Calling initcall 0xffffffff80cc0510: powernowk8_init+0x0/0x94()
powernow-k8: Found 1 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ processors (1 cpu cores) (version 2.20.00)

Calling initcall 0xffffffff80cc328f: init_lapic_nmi_sysfs+0x0/0x39()
We could fix this by making CPU enumeration aware of max_cpus, but that
would be more fragile IMO, and the cpu_online(cpu) != cpu_is_offline(cpu)
possibility was quite confusing and a continuous source of bugs too.
Most distributions have kernels with CPU hotplug enabled, so this bug
remained hidden for a long time.
Bug forensics:
The broken cpu_is_offline() API variant was introduced via:
commit a59d2e4e6977e7b94e003c96a41f07e96cddc340
Author: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
Date: Mon Mar 8 06:06:03 2004 -0800
[PATCH] minor cleanups for hotplug CPUs
( this predates linux-2.6.git, this commit is available from Thomas's
historic git tree. )
Then 1.5 years later the cpufreq code made use of it:
commit c32b6b8e52
Author: Ashok Raj <ashok.raj@intel.com>
Date: Sun Oct 30 14:59:54 2005 -0800
[PATCH] create and destroy cpufreq sysfs entries based on cpu notifiers
+ if (cpu_is_offline(cpu))
+ return 0;
which is a correct use of the subtly broken new API. v2.6.15 then
shipped with this bug included.
then it took two more years for random-kernel qa to hit it.

unfortunately 32 bit apps don't see the joysticks on a 64 bit system.
this prevents one playing X-Plane (http://www.x-plane.com/) or other
32-bit games with joysticks.
this is a known issue, and already raised several times:
http://readlist.com/lists/vger.kernel.org/linux-kernel/28/144411.htmlhttp://www.brettcsmith.org/wiki/wiki.cgi?action=browse&diff=1&id=OzyComputer/Joystick
unfortunately this is still not fixed in the mainline kernel.
it would be nice to have this fixed, so that people can play these games
without having to patch their kernel.
the following patch solves the problem on 2.6.22.
