50c9cc2e54 [NETFILTER]: ipt_CLUSTERIP: fix oops in checkentry function
The clusterip_config_find_get() already increases entries reference
counter, so there is no reason to do it twice in checkentry() callback.

This causes the config to be freed before it is removed from the list,
resulting in a crash when adding the next rule.

92b3e2e925 [PATCH] zd1211rw: Fix E2P_PHY_REG patching
Due to conflicting/confusing defines in the vendor driver, we were
reading E2P_PHY_REG from the wrong location.

CR157 patching was slightly incorrect in that the vendor driver only
patches in an 8-bit value, whereas we were patching 24 bits.

Additionally, CR157 patching was happening on both zd1211 and zd1211b,
but this should only happen on zd1211.

15d33c070d [TCP]: slow_start_after_idle should influence cwnd validation too
For the cases that slow_start_after_idle are meant to deal
with, it is almost a certainty that the congestion window
tests will think the connection is application limited and
we'll thus decrease the cwnd there too.  This defeats the
whole point of setting slow_start_after_idle to zero.

So test it there too.

We do not cancel out the entire tcp_cwnd_validate() function
so that if the sysctl is changed we still have the validation
state maintained.

49f1971051 [PATCH] Proper fix for highmem kmap_atomic functions for VMI for 2.6.21
Since lazy MMU batching mode still allows interrupts to enter, it is
possible for interrupt handlers to try to use kmap_atomic, which fails when
lazy mode is active, since the PTE update to highmem will be delayed.  The
best workaround is to issue an explicit flush in kmap_atomic_functions
case; this is the only way nested PTE updates can happen in the interrupt
handler.

Thanks to Jeremy Fitzhardinge for noting the bug and suggestions on a fix.

This patch gets reverted again when we start 2.6.22 and the bug gets fixed

35f6f753b7 [PATCH] sched: get rid of p->children use in show_task()
the p->parent PID printout gives us all the information about the
task tree that we need - the eldest_child()/older_sibling()/
younger_sibling() printouts are mostly historic and i do not

This code has sentimental value though, those fields and
printouts are one of the oldest ones still surviving from
Linux v0.95's kernel/sched.c:

        if (p->p_ysptr || p->p_osptr)
                printk("   Younger sib=%d, older sib=%d\n\r",
                        p->p_ysptr ? p->p_ysptr->pid : -1,
                        p->p_osptr ? p->p_osptr->pid : -1);
        else
                printk("\n\r");

1d426d6418 IB/iser: Don't defer connection failure notification to workqueue
When a connection is terminated asynchronously from the iSCSI layer's
perspective, iSER needs to notify the iSCSI layer that the connection
has failed.  This is done using a workqueue (switched to from the iSER
tasklet context).  Meanwhile, the connection object (that holds the
work struct) is released.  If the workqueue function wasn't called
yet, it will be called later with a NULL pointer, which will crash the
kernel.

The context switch (tasklet to workqueue) is not required, and
everything can be done from the iSER tasklet. This eliminates the NULL
work struct bug (and simplifies the code).

75559c167b [APPLETALK]: Fix a remotely triggerable crash
When we receive an AppleTalk frame shorter than what its header says,
we still attempt to verify its checksum, and trip on the BUG_ON() at
the end of function atalk_sum_skb() because of the length mismatch.

This has security implications because this can be triggered by simply
sending a specially crafted ethernet frame to a target victim,
effectively crashing that host. Thus this qualifies, I think, as a
remote DoS. Here is the frame I used to trigger the crash, in npg
format:

<Appletalk Killer>
{
# Ethernet header -----

  XX XX XX XX XX XX  # Destination MAC
  00 00 00 00 00 00  # Source MAC
  00 1D              # Length

# LLC header -----

  AA AA 03
  08 00 07 80 9B  # Appletalk

# Appletalk header -----

  00 1B        # Packet length (invalid)
  00 01        # Fake checksum 
  00 00 00 00  # Destination and source networks
  00 00 00 00  # Destination and source nodes and ports

# Payload -----

  0C 0D 0E 0F 10 11 12 13
  14
}

The destination MAC address must be set to those of the victim.

The severity is mitigated by two requirements:
* The target host must have the appletalk kernel module loaded. I
  suspect this isn't so frequent.
* AppleTalk frames are non-IP, thus I guess they can only travel on
  local networks. I am no network expert though, maybe it is possible
  to somehow encapsulate AppleTalk packets over IP.

The bug has been reported back in June 2004:
  http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2979
But it wasn't investigated, and was closed in July 2006 as both
reporters had vanished meanwhile.

This code was new in kernel 2.6.0-test5:
  http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git;a=commitdiff;h=7ab442d7e0a76402c12553ee256f756097cae2d2
And not modified since then, so we can assume that vanilla kernels
2.6.0-test5 and later, and distribution kernels based thereon, are
affected.

Note that I still do not know for sure what triggered the bug in the
real-world cases. The frame could have been corrupted by the kernel if
we have a bug hiding somewhere. But more likely, we are receiving the
faulty frame from the network.

98de9e3ba2 [PATCH] fix jiffies clocksource inittime
In debugging a problem w/ the -rt tree, I noticed that on systems that mark
the tsc as unstable before it is registered, the TSC would still be
selected and used for a short period of time.  Digging in it looks to be a
result of the mix of the clocksource list changes and my clocksource
initialization changes.

With the -rt tree, using a bad TSC, even for a short period of time can
results in a hang at boot.  I was not able to reproduce this hang w/
mainline, but I'm not completely certain that someone won't trip on it.

This patch resolves the issue by initializing the jiffies clocksource
earlier so a bad TSC won't get selected just because nothing else is yet
registered.

2363cc0264 [PATCH] remove protection of LANANA-reserved majors
Revert all this.  It can cause device-mapper to receive a different major from
earlier kernels and it turns out that the Amanda backup program (via GNU tar,
apparently) checks major numbers on files when performing incremental backups.

Which is a bit broken of Amanda (or tar), but this feature isn't important
enough to justify the churn.

Fix a bug in the swsusp's memory shrinker that causes some systems using
highmem to refuse to suspend to disk if image_size is set above 1/2 of
available RAM.

Special thanks to Jiri Slaby for reporting the problem and assistance in
debugging it.

418106d624 [PATCH] net/sunrpc/svcsock.c: fix a check
The return value of kernel_recvmsg() should be assigned to "err", not
compared with the random value of a never initialized "err" (and the "< 0"
check wrongly always returned false since == comparisons never have a
result < 0).

Spotted by the Coverity checker.

5792a2856a [PATCH] md: avoid a deadlock when removing a device from an md array via sysfs
A device can be removed from an md array via e.g.
  echo remove > /sys/block/md3/md/dev-sde/state

This will try to remove the 'dev-sde' subtree which will deadlock
since
  commit e7b0d26a86

With this patch we run the kobject_del via schedule_work so as to
avoid the deadlock.

456a09dce9 [PATCH] kernel/time.c: add missing symbol exports
This patch adds 2 missing symbol exports: jiffies_to_timeval() and
timeval_to_jiffies().  The (not yet merged) dm-raid4-5 module will need
them, and they used to be indirectly exported by virtue of being inline
functions.

Commit 8b9365d753 ("[PATCH] Uninline
jiffies.h functions") uninlined them, and thus modules now need them
explicitly exported to use them.

927498217c [PATCH] net: Ignore sysfs network device rename bugs.
The generic networking code ensures that no two networking devices
have the same name, so  there is no time except when sysfs has
implementation bugs that device_rename when called from
dev_change_name will fail.

The current error handling for errors from device_rename in
dev_change_name is wrong and results in an unusable and unrecoverable
network device if device_rename is happens to return an error.

This patch removes the buggy error handling.  Which confines the mess
when device_rename hits a problem to sysfs, instead of propagating it
the rest of the network stack.  Making linux a little more robust.

Without this patch you can observe what happens when sysfs has a bug
when CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is not set and you attempt to rename
a real network device to a name like (broken_parity_status, device,
modalias, power, resource2, subsystem_vendor, class,  driver, irq,
msi_bus, resource, subsystem, uevent, config, enable, local_cpus,
numa_node, resource0, subsystem_device, vendor)

Greg has a patch that fixes the sysfs bugs but he doesn't trust it
for a 2.6.21 timeframe.  This patch which just ignores errors should
be safe and it keeps the system from going completely wacky.
