c4d4979 Ajit Khaparde 16 February 2010, 20:25:43 UTC net: bug fix for vlan + gro issue Traffic (tcp) doesnot start on a vlan interface when gro is enabled. Even the tcp handshake was not taking place. This is because, the eth_type_trans call before the netif_receive_skb in napi_gro_finish() resets the skb->dev to napi->dev from the previously set vlan netdev interface. This causes the ip_route_input to drop the incoming packet considering it as a packet coming from a martian source. I could repro this on 2.6.32.7 (stable) and 2.6.33-rc7. With this fix, the traffic starts and the test runs fine on both vlan and non-vlan interfaces.

662a96b Atsushi Nemoto 19 February 2010, 05:13:58 UTC tc35815: Remove a wrong netif_wake_queue() call which triggers BUG_ON The netif_wake_queue() is called correctly (i.e. only on !txfull condition) from txdone routine. So Unconditional call to the netif_wake_queue() here is wrong. This might cause calling of start_xmit routine on txfull state and trigger BUG_ON. This bug does not happen when NAPI disabled. After txdone there must be at least one free tx slot. But with NAPI, this is not true anymore and the BUG_ON can hits on heavy load. In this driver NAPI was enabled on 2.6.33-rc1 so this is regression from 2.6.32 kernel.

Both problems have been fixed and the idr code has received good amount testing using userland testing setup where simple bitmap allocator is run parallel to verify the result of idr allocation. The bug this patch fixes is caused by sub_alloc() optimization path bypassing out-of-room condition check and restarting allocation loop with starting value higher than maximum allowed value.

d306ebc Pallipadi, Venkatesh 10 February 2010, 18:35:31 UTC ACPI: Be in TS_POLLING state during mwait based C-state entry ACPI deep C-state entry had a long standing bug/missing feature, wherein we were sending resched IPIs when an idle CPU is in mwait based deep C-state. Only mwait based C1 was using the write to the monitored address to wake up mwait'ing CPU. This patch changes the code to retain TS_POLLING bit if we are entering an mwait based deep C-state. The patch has been verified to reduce the number of resched IPIs in general and also improves the performance/power on workloads with low system utilization (i.e., when mwait based deep C-states are being used).

61caf87 Rafael J. Wysocki 18 February 2010, 22:06:27 UTC i915 / PM: Fix hibernate regression caused by suspend/resume splitting Commit 84b79f8d2882b0a84330c04839ed4d3cefd2ff77 (drm/i915: Fix crash while aborting hibernation) attempted to fix a regression introduced by commit cbda12d77ea590082edb6d30bd342a67ebc459e0 (drm/i915: implement new pm ops for i915), but it went too far trying to split the freeze/suspend and resume/thaw parts of the code. As a result, it introduced another regression, which only is visible on some systems. Fix the problem by merging i915_drm_suspend() with i915_drm_freeze() and moving some code from i915_resume() into i915_drm_thaw(), so that intel_opregion_free() and intel_opregion_init() are also executed in the freeze and thaw code paths, respectively.

This can prevent systems booting properly. There is no clear hard-configurable default for this; the desired default depends on the nature of the userspace which is going to be booted. So, provide a way for the alignment fault handler to be configured via the kernel command line. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk> 20 February 2010, 16:20:49 UTC
8f9941a David Howells 19 February 2010, 18:14:21 UTC CacheFiles: Fix a race in cachefiles_delete_object() vs rename cachefiles_delete_object() can race with rename. It gets the parent directory of the object it's asked to delete, then locks it - but rename may have changed the object's parent between the get and the completion of the lock. However, if such a circumstance is detected, we abandon our attempt to delete the object - since it's no longer in the index key path, it won't be seen again by lookups of that key. The assumption is that cachefilesd may have culled it by renaming it to the graveyard for later destruction.

d9c4f84 Samu Onkalo 20 February 2010, 07:17:58 UTC Input: polldev can cause crash in case when polling disabled When polled input device is opened and closed and there are no other users of polled device, the workqueue is created and destroyed in every open / close operation. It is probable that at some point dynamic allocation of internal parts of the workqueue cause changes to the workqueue. When a work is queued to the workqueue the work struct contains pointers to the workqueue data. If the workqueue has been changed and the work has never been queued to the new workqueue, work-struct contains pointers to the non-existing workqueue. This will cause crash at the work cancellation during device close since cancellation of a work assumes that the workqueue exists. To prevent that, work struct is cleaned up at device close. This keeps work struct clean for the next use. Signed-off-by: Samu Onkalo <samu.p.onkalo@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@mail.ru> 20 February 2010, 09:23:55 UTC

5e2f75b Dan Halperin 19 February 2010, 06:01:39 UTC iwlwifi: set HT flags after channel in rxon The HT extension channel settings require priv->staging_rxon.channel to be accurate. However, iwl_set_rxon_ht was being called before iwl_set_rxon_channel and thus HT40 could be broken unless another call to iwl_mac_config came in. This problem was recently introduced by "iwlwifi: Fix to set correct ht configuration" The particular setting in which I noticed this was monitor mode: iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor ifconfig wlan0 up ./iw wlan0 set channel 64 HT40- #./iw wlan0 set channel 64 HT40- tcpdump -i wlan0 -y IEEE802_11_RADIO would only catch HT40 packets if I issued the IW command twice. From visual inspection, iwl_set_rxon_channel does not depend on iwl_set_rxon_ht, so simply swapping them should be safe and fixes this problem.

326264a Frederic Weisbecker 18 February 2010, 17:24:18 UTC hw-breakpoint: Keep track of dr7 local enable bits When the user enables breakpoints through dr7, he can choose between "local" or "global" enable bits but given how linux is implemented, both have the same effect. That said we don't keep track how the user enabled the breakpoints so when the user requests the dr7 value, we only translate the "enabled" status using the global enabled bits. It means that if the user enabled a breakpoint using the local enabled bit, reading back dr7 will set the global bit and clear the local one. Apps like Wine expect a full dr7 POKEUSER/PEEKUSER match for emulated softwares that implement old reverse engineering protection schemes. We fix that by keeping track of the whole dr7 value given by the user in the thread structure to drop this bug. We'll think about something more proper later. This fixes a 2.6.32 - 2.6.33-x ptrace regression.

84d7109 Frederic Weisbecker 18 February 2010, 15:00:59 UTC hw-breakpoints: Accept breakpoints on NULL address Before we had a generic breakpoint API, ptrace was accepting breakpoints on NULL address in x86. The new API refuse them, without given strong reasons. We need to follow the previous behaviour as some userspace apps like Wine need such NULL breakpoints to ensure old emulated software protections are still working.

455c0d7 Darrick J. Wong 18 February 2010, 18:28:20 UTC ACPI: Fix regression where _PPC is not read at boot even when ignore_ppc=0 Earlier, Ingo Molnar posted a patch to make it so that the kernel would avoid reading _PPC on his broken T60. Unfortunately, it seems that with Thomas Renninger's patch last July to eliminate _PPC evaluations when the processor driver loads, the kernel never actually reads _PPC at all! This is problematic if you happen to boot your non-T60 computer in a state where the BIOS _wants_ _PPC to be something other than zero. So, put the _PPC evaluation back into acpi_processor_get_performance_info if ignore_ppc isn't 1. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

53f6860 Martin Fuzzey 11 February 2010, 13:50:31 UTC V4L/DVB: Video : pwc : Fix regression in pwc_set_shutter_speed caused by bad constant => sizeof conversion. Regression was caused by my commit 6b35ca0d3d586b8ecb8396821af21186e20afaf0 which determined message size using sizeof rather than hardcoded constants. Unfortunately pwc_set_shutter_speed reuses a 2 byte buffer for a one byte message too so the sizeof was bogus in this case. All other uses of sizeof checked and are ok.
