a26c074c1c [PATCH] net/sb1000: replace nicedelay() with ssleep()
Use ssleep() instead of nicedelay()
to guarantee the task delays as expected. Remove the prototype and
definition of nicedelay(). This is a very weird function, because it is
called to sleep in terms of usecs, but always sleeps for 1 second,
completely ignoring the parameter. I have gone ahead and followed suit,
just sleeping for a second in all cases, but maybe someone with the
hardware could tell me if perhaps the paramter *should* matter. Additionally,
nicedelay() is called in TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE state, but doesn't deal with signals
in case these longer delays do not complete, so I believe ssleep() is more
appropriate.

4da62fc70d [IPVS]: Fix for overflows
From: <pageexec@freemail.hu>

$subject was fixed in 2.4 already, 2.6 needs it as well.

The impact of the bugs is a kernel stack overflow and privilege escalation
from CAP_NET_ADMIN via the IP_VS_SO_SET_STARTDAEMON/IP_VS_SO_GET_DAEMON
ioctls.  People running with 'root=all caps' (i.e., most users) are not
really affected (there's nothing to escalate), but SELinux and similar
users should take it seriously if they grant CAP_NET_ADMIN to other users.

feea1db26e [PATCH] defxx: Use irqreturn_t for the interrupt handler
This is a fix for the interrupt handler in the defxx driver to use
irqreturn_t.  Beside the obvious fix of returning a proper status at all,
it actually checks board registers as appropriate for determining if an
interrupt has been recorded in the bus-specific interface logic.

The patch also includes an obvious one-line fix for SET_NETDEV_DEV needed
for the EISA variation, for which I've decided there is no point in sending
separately.

d470e3b483 [NETLINK]: Fix two socket hashing bugs.
1) netlink_release() should only decrement the hash entry
   count if the socket was actually hashed.

   This was causing hash->entries to underflow, which
   resulting in all kinds of troubles.

   On 64-bit systems, this would cause the following
   conditional to erroneously trigger:

	err = -ENOMEM;
	if (BITS_PER_LONG > 32 && unlikely(hash->entries >= UINT_MAX))
		goto err;

2) netlink_autobind() needs to propagate the error return from
   netlink_insert().  Otherwise, callers will not see the error
   as they should and thus try to operate on a socket with a zero pid,
   which is very bad.

   However, it should not propagate -EBUSY.  If two threads race
   to autobind the socket, that is fine.  This is consistent with the
   autobind behavior in other protocols.

   So bug #1 above, combined with this one, resulted in hangs
   on netlink_sendmsg() calls to the rtnetlink socket.  We'd try
   to do the user sendmsg() with the socket's pid set to zero,
   later we do a socket lookup using that pid (via the value we
   stashed away in NETLINK_CB(skb).pid), but that won't give us the
   user socket, it will give us the rtnetlink socket.  So when we
   try to wake up the receive queue, we dive back into rtnetlink_rcv()
   which tries to recursively take the rtnetlink semaphore.

Thanks to Jakub Jelink for providing backtraces.  Also, thanks to
Herbert Xu for supplying debugging patches to help track this down,
and also finding a mistake in an earlier version of this fix.

93ad4fb04f [PATCH] pcnet_cs.c: IRQ handler optimization
During some performance diagnostics I stumbled on this slightly wasteful
code in pcnet_cs.c which I made the patch included at the bottom for (two
minor comment fixes included).

Improvement:
instead of *always* calculating
lea    0x2c0(%edx),%ebx
and then additionally doing the
mov    %edx,0xc0(%ebx)
addition *if we need it*,

we now do the *whole* calculation of
mov    %edx,0x380(%ebx)
*only* if we need it.
This even manages to save us a whole 16-byte alignment buffer loss
in this compilation case.

Result: slightly improves IRQ handler performance in both shared and
non-shared IRQ case, which should make my rusty P3/700 a slight bit happier.

Thank you for your support,

Andreas Mohr

169a3e6663 bonding: xor/802.3ad improved slave hash
Add support for alternate slave selection algorithms to bonding
balance-xor and 802.3ad modes.  Default mode (what we have now: xor of
MAC addresses) is "layer2", new choice is "layer3+4", using IP and port
information for hashing to select peer.

Originally submitted by Jason Gabler for balance-xor mode;
modified by Jay Vosburgh to additionally support 802.3ad mode.  Jason's
original comment is as follows:

The attached patch to the Linux Etherchannel Bonding driver modifies the
driver's "balance-xor" mode as follows:

      - alternate hashing policy support for mode 2
        * Added kernel parameter "xmit_policy" to allow the specification
          of different hashing policies for mode 2.  The original mode 2
          policy is the default, now found in xmit_hash_policy_layer2().
        * Added xmit_hash_policy_layer34()

This patch was inspired by hashing policies implemented by Cisco,
Foundry and IBM, which are explained in
Foundry documentation found at:

15aca90363 [PATCH] ARM: 2754/1: move ixp2000 VMALLOC_END up
Patch from Lennert Buytenhek

As the ixdp cpld mappings now live at 0xfe000000, we can push
VMALLOC_END upwards to 0xfb000000, where the first iotable mapping
begins.

91f6a589fb [PATCH] ARM: 2753/1: move ixdp* cpld mappings
Patch from Lennert Buytenhek

All ixdp platforms currently have a cpld mapped in at 0xfafff000.
Since this address is not 1M-aligned, a regular page mapping will be
used instead of a section mapping, which opens up the possibility of
triggering ixp2400 erratum #66 as we only do the XCB=101 workaround
thing for section mappings.
There is still a lot of space higher up in the virtual memory map
for 1M mappings, so move the cpld mapping to 0xfe000000 and make it
1M big so that a section mapping will be used for it.

3e1d1d28d9 [PATCH] Cleanup patch for process freezing
1. Establish a simple API for process freezing defined in linux/include/sched.h:

   frozen(process)		Check for frozen process
   freezing(process)		Check if a process is being frozen
   freeze(process)		Tell a process to freeze (go to refrigerator)
   thaw_process(process)	Restart process
   frozen_process(process)	Process is frozen now

2. Remove all references to PF_FREEZE and PF_FROZEN from all
   kernel sources except sched.h

3. Fix numerous locations where try_to_freeze is manually done by a driver

4. Remove the argument that is no longer necessary from two function calls.

5. Some whitespace cleanup

6. Clear potential race in refrigerator (provides an open window of PF_FREEZE
   cleared before setting PF_FROZEN, recalc_sigpending does not check
   PF_FROZEN).

This patch does not address the problem of freeze_processes() violating the rule
that a task may only modify its own flags by setting PF_FREEZE. This is not clean
in an SMP environment. freeze(process) is therefore not SMP safe!
