e0ab53d RPC: Ensure that we disconnect TCP socket when client requests error out If we're part way through transmitting a TCP request, and the client errors, then we need to disconnect and reconnect the TCP socket in order to avoid confusing the server.

3c33242 usb-storage: Add US_FL_IGNORE_DEVICE flag; ignore ZyXEL G220F This patch adds a new unusual_devs flag for when usb-storage needs to ignore a device that it would otherwise claim. We need to ignore the ZyXEL G220F as it is a virtual CDROM drive which includes the windows driver for this USB-WLAN adapter. After the windows driver is installed on a windows system, it converts it into a WLAN adapter (by ejecting the virtual disc). The virtual CDROM is of no interest to Linux users. The zd1211rw driver will automatically perform the eject operation, we just need to ensure that usb-storage does not claim the device.

dc49c1f [AF_UNIX]: Kernel memory leak fix for af_unix datagram getpeersec patch From: Catherine Zhang <cxzhang@watson.ibm.com> This patch implements a cleaner fix for the memory leak problem of the original unix datagram getpeersec patch. Instead of creating a security context each time a unix datagram is sent, we only create the security context when the receiver requests it. This new design requires modification of the current unix_getsecpeer_dgram LSM hook and addition of two new hooks, namely, secid_to_secctx and release_secctx. The former retrieves the security context and the latter releases it. A hook is required for releasing the security context because it is up to the security module to decide how that's done. In the case of Selinux, it's a simple kfree operation. Acked-by: Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> 02 August 2006, 21:12:06 UTC

76f10ad [NET]: Remove lockdep_set_class() call from skb_queue_head_init(). The skb_queue_head_init() function is used both in drivers for private use and in the core networking code. The usage models are vastly set of functions that is only softirq safe; while the driver usage tends to be more limited to a few hardirq safe accessor functions. Rather than annotating all 133+ driver usages, for now just split this lock into a per queue class. This change is obviously safe and probably should make 2.6.18.

dafee49 [IPV6]: SNMPv2 "ipv6IfStatsOutFragCreates" counter error When I tested linux kernel 2.6.71.7 about statistics "ipv6IfStatsOutFragCreates", and found that it couldn't increase correctly. The criteria is RFC 2465: ipv6IfStatsOutFragCreates OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX Counter32 MAX-ACCESS read-only STATUS current DESCRIPTION "The number of output datagram fragments that have been generated as a result of fragmentation at this output interface." ::= { ipv6IfStatsEntry 15 } I think there are two issues in Linux kernel. 1st: RFC2465 specifies the counter is "The number of output datagram fragments...". I think increasing this counter after output a fragment successfully is better. And it should not be increased even though a fragment is created but failed to output. 2nd: If we send a big ICMP/ICMPv6 echo request to a host, and receive ICMP/ICMPv6 echo reply consisted of some fragments. As we know that in Linux kernel first fragmentation occurs in ICMP layer(maybe saying transport layer is better), but this is not the "real" fragmentation,just do some "pre-fragment" -- allocate space for date, and form a frag_list, etc. The "real" fragmentation happens in IP layer -- set offset and MF flag and so on. So I think in "fast path" for ip_fragment/ip6_fragment, if we send a fragment which "pre-fragment" by upper layer we should also increase "ipv6IfStatsOutFragCreates".

b60dfc6 [NET]: Kill the WARN_ON() calls for checksum fixups. We have a more complete solution in the works, involving the seperation of CHECKSUM_HW on input vs. output, and having netfilter properly do incremental checksums. But that is a very involved patch and is thus 2.6.19 material. What we have now is infinitely better than the past, wherein all TSO packets were dropped due to corrupt checksums as soon at the NAT module was loaded. At least now, the checksums do get fixed up, it just isn't the cleanest nor most optimal solution. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> 02 August 2006, 20:38:30 UTC

52499af [TCP]: Process linger2 timeout consistently. Based upon guidance from Alexey Kuznetsov. When linger2 is active, we check to see if the fin_wait2 timeout is longer than the timewait. If it is, we schedule the keepalive timer for the difference between the timewait timeout and the fin_wait2 timeout. When this orphan socket is seen by tcp_keepalive_timer() it will try to transform this fin_wait2 socket into a fin_wait2 mini-socket, again if linger2 is active. Not all paths were setting this initial keepalive timer correctly. The tcp input path was doing it correctly, but tcp_close() wasn't, potentially making the socket linger longer than it really needs to. Signed-off-by: David S.

a280b89 [SECURITY] secmark: nul-terminate secdata The patch below fixes a problem in the iptables SECMARK target, where the user-supplied 'selctx' string may not be nul-terminated. From initial analysis, it seems that the strlen() called from selinux_string_to_sid() could run until it arbitrarily finds a zero, and possibly cause a kernel oops before then. The impact of this appears limited because the operation requires CAP_NET_ADMIN, which is essentially always root. Also, the module is not yet in wide use.

ce38cac [PATCH] rivafb/nvidiafb: race between register_framebuffer and *_bl_init Since we now use the generic backlight infrastructure, I think we need to call rivafb_bl_init before calling register_framebuffer since otherwise rivafb_bl_init might race with the framebuffer layer already opening the device and setting up the video mode. In this case we might end up with a not yet fully intialized backlight (info->bl_dev still NULL) when calling riva_bl_set_power via rivafb_set_par/rivafb_load_video_mode and the kernel dies without any further notice during boot. This fixes booting current git on a PB 6,1. In this case radeonfb/atyfb would be affected too - I can fix that too but don't have any hardware to test this on. Cc: "Antonino A.

994aad2 [PATCH] radeonfb sleep fixes Many IBM Thinkpad T4* models and some R* and X* with radeon video cards draw too much power when suspended to RAM, reducing drastically the battery lifetime. The solution is to enable suspend-to-D2 on these machines. They are whitelisted through their subsystem vendor/device ID. This fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3022 The patch introduces a framework to alter the pm_mode and reinit_func fields of the radeonfb_info structure based on a whitelist. This should facilitate future hardware-dependent workarounds. The workaround for the Samsung P35 that is already in the radeonfb code has been rewritten using this framework. The behavior can be overridden with module options: i) video=radeonfb:force_sleep=1 enable suspend-to-D2 also on non-whitelisted machines (useful for testing new notebook models), ii) video=radeonfb:ignore_devlist=1 Disable checking the whitelist and do not apply any workarounds.
