4773a47 can/at91: don't check platform_get_irq's return value against zero platform_get_irq returns -ENXIO on failure, so !irq was probably always true. Better use (int)irq <= 0. Note that a return value of zero is still handled as error even though this could mean irq0. This is a followup to 305b3228f9ff4d59f49e6d34a7034d44ee8ce2f0 that changed the return value of platform_get_irq from 0 to -ENXIO on error.

4529819 bnx2: reset_task is crashing the kernel. Fixing it. If bnx2 schedules a reset via the reset_task, e.g., due to a TX timeout, it's possible for the NIC to be disabled with packets pending for transmit. In this case, napi_disable will loop forever, eventually crashing the kernel. This patch moves the disable of the device to after the napi_disable call.

ca55398 ixgbe: allow tx of pre-formatted vlan tagged packets When the 82598 is fed 802.1q packets, it chokes with an error of the form: ixgbe: eth0: ixgbe_tx_csum: partial checksum but proto=81! As the logic there was not smart enough to look into the vlan header to pick out the encapsulated protocol. There are times when we'd like to send these packets out without having to configure a vlan on the interface. Here we check for the vlan tag and allow the packet to go out with the correct hardware checksum.

bb5b7c1 tcp: Revert per-route SACK/DSACK/TIMESTAMP changes. It creates a regression, triggering badness for SYN_RECV sockets, for example: [19148.022102] Badness at net/ipv4/inet_connection_sock.c:293 [19148.022570] NIP: c02a0914 LR: c02a0904 CTR: 00000000 [19148.023035] REGS: eeecbd30 TRAP: 0700 Not tainted (2.6.32) [19148.023496] MSR: 00029032 <EE,ME,CE,IR,DR> CR: 24002442 XER: 00000000 [19148.024012] TASK = eee9a820[1756] 'privoxy' THREAD: eeeca000 This is likely caused by the change in the 'estab' parameter passed to tcp_parse_options() when invoked by the functions in net/ipv4/tcp_minisocks.c But even if that is fixed, the ->conn_request() changes made in this patch series is fundamentally wrong. They try to use the listening socket's 'dst' to probe the route settings. The listening socket doesn't even have a route, and you can't get the right route (the child request one) until much later after we setup all of the state, and it must be done by hand. This stuff really isn't ready, so the best thing to do is a full revert. This reverts the following commits: f55017a93f1a74d50244b1254b9a2bd7ac9bbf7d 022c3f7d82f0f1c68018696f2f027b87b9bb45c2 1aba721eba1d84a2defce45b950272cee1e6c72a cda42ebd67ee5fdf09d7057b5a4584d36fe8a335 345cda2fd695534be5a4494f1b59da9daed33663 dc343475ed062e13fc260acccaab91d7d80fd5b2 05eaade2782fb0c90d3034fd7a7d5a16266182bb 6a2a2d6bf8581216e08be15fcb563cfd6c430e1e Signed-off-by: David S.

8fa9ff6 netfilter: fix crashes in bridge netfilter caused by fragment jumps When fragments from bridge netfilter are passed to IPv4 or IPv6 conntrack and a reassembly queue with the same fragment key already exists from reassembling a similar packet received on a different device (f.i. with multicasted fragments), the reassembled packet might continue on a different codepath than where the head fragment originated. This can cause crashes in bridge netfilter when a fragment received on a non-bridge device (and thus with skb->nf_bridge == NULL) continues through the bridge netfilter code. Add a new reassembly identifier for packets originating from bridge netfilter and use it to put those packets in insolated queues.

This can cause "packet jumps" when the fragment completing a reassembled packet is queued from a different position in the stack than the previous ones. Add a "user" identifier to the reassembly queue key to seperate the queues of each caller, similar to what we do for IPv4.

But it introduces another problem: When we close a connection, on master server the connection became CLOSE_WAIT/TIME_WAIT, it was synced to slaves, but if master is finished within it's timeouts (CLOSE), it will not be synced to slaves. Then slaves will be kept on CLOSE_WAIT/TIME_WAIT until timeout reaches. Thus we should also sync with CLOSE.

c7cd606 can: Fix data length code handling in rx path A valid CAN dataframe can have a data length code (DLC) of 0 .. 8 data bytes. When reading the CAN controllers register the 4-bit value may contain values from 0 .. 15 which may exceed the reserved space in the socket buffer! The ISO 11898-1 Chapter 8.4.2.3 (DLC field) says that register values > 8 should be reduced to 8 without any error reporting or frame drop. This patch introduces a new helper macro to cast a given 4-bit data length code (dlc) to __u8 and ensure the DLC value to be max. 8 bytes. The different handlings in the rx path of the CAN netdevice drivers are fixed.

d90a909 net: Fix userspace RTM_NEWLINK notifications. I received some bug reports about userspace programs having problems because after RTM_NEWLINK was received they could not immediate access files under /proc/sys/net/ because they had not been registered yet. The original problem was trivially fixed by moving the userspace notification from rtnetlink_event() to the end of register_netdevice(). When testing that change I discovered I was still getting RTM_NEWLINK events before I could access proc and I was also getting RTM_NEWLINK events after I was seeing RTM_DELLINK. Things practically guaranteed to confuse userspace. After a little more investigation these extra notifications proved to be from the new notifiers NETDEV_POST_INIT and NETDEV_UNREGISTER_BATCH hitting the default case in rtnetlink_event, and triggering unnecessary RTM_NEWLINK messages. rtnetlink_event now explicitly handles NETDEV_UNREGISTER_BATCH and NETDEV_POST_INIT to avoid sending the incorrect userspace notifications.

e707c35 tty_port: Move hupcl handling Move the HUCPL handling from the end of close_port_start to the beginning of close_port_end. What this actually does is change the ordering from port shutdown port->dtr_rts to port->dtr_rts port shutdown Some hardware drops the physical connection on shutdown so we must perform the port operations before the shutdown.

edfacdd devpts_get_tty() should validate inode devpts_get_tty() assumes that the inode passed in is associated with a valid pty. But if the only reference to the pty is via a bind-mount, the inode passed to devpts_get_tty() while valid, would refer to a pty that no longer exists. With a lot of debug effort, Grzegorz Nosek developed a small program (see below) to reproduce a crash on recent kernels. This crash is a regression introduced by the commit: commit 527b3e4773628b30d03323a2cb5fb0d84441990f Author: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev@us.ibm.com> Date: Mon Oct 13 10:43:08 2008 +0100 To fix, ensure that the dentry associated with the inode has not yet been deleted/unhashed by devpts_pty_kill().

c934878 Serial: pxa: work around Errata #75 Intel(R) PXA27x Processor Family Specification Update (Nov 2005) says: E75. UART: Baud rate may not be programmed correctly on back-to-back writes. Problem: When programming the Divisor Latch registers, Low and High (DLL and DLH), with back-to-back writes, the second register write may not take effect. The result is an incorrect baud rate. Workaround: After programming the first Divisor Latch register, read and verify it before programming the second Divisor Latch register. This was hit when changing the baud rate from 115200 to 9600 while receiving characters at 9600 Bd. And fixed indention of some comments nearby.
