* [PATCH] zd1211rw: Firmware version vs bootcode version mismatch handlingDaniel Drake2006-08-142-7/+44
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This is needed for my G220F, otherwise it fails to initialize after the existing firmware upload routine. The vendor driver actually does more than what I have done here: it downloads the firmware + boot code, modifies it, and uploads it again (really messy). I have not copied that part over, as my device can get on its feet without it. Signed-off-by: Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

| * [INET]: Use pskb_trim_unique when trimming paged unique skbsHerbert Xu2006-08-133-3/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The IPv4/IPv6 datagram output path was using skb_trim to trim paged packets because they know that the packet has not been cloned yet (since the packet hasn't been given to anything else in the system). This broke because skb_trim no longer allows paged packets to be trimmed. Paged packets must be given to one of the pskb_trim functions instead. This patch adds a new pskb_trim_unique function to cover the IPv4/IPv6 datagram output path scenario and replaces the corresponding skb_trim calls with it.

| * [NETFILTER]: ulog: fix panic on SMP kernelsMark Huang2006-08-133-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix kernel panic on various SMP machines. The culprit is a null ub->skb in ulog_send(). If ulog_timer() has already been scheduled on one CPU and is spinning on the lock, and ipt_ulog_packet() flushes the queue on another CPU by calling ulog_send() right before it exits, there will be no skbuff when ulog_timer() acquires the lock and calls ulog_send(). Cancelling the timer in ulog_send() doesn't help because it has already been scheduled and is running on the first CPU. Similar problem exists in ebt_ulog.c and nfnetlink_log.c.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix from Aji_Srinivas@emc.com, STP packets are incorrectly received on all LLC datagram sockets, whichever interface they are bound to. The llc_sap datagram receive logic sends packets with a unicast destination MAC to one socket bound to that SAP and MAC, and multicast packets to all sockets bound to that SAP. STP packets are multicast, and we do need to know on which interface they were received. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
| * [IPSEC]: Validate properly in xfrm_dst_check()David S. Miller2006-08-131-3/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If dst->obsolete is -1, this is a signal from the bundle creator that we want the XFRM dst and the dsts that it references to be validated on every use. I misunderstood this intention when I changed xfrm_dst_check() to always return NULL. Now, when we purge a dst entry, by running dst_free() on it. This will set the dst->obsolete to a positive integer, and we want to return NULL in that case so that the socket does a relookup for the route. Thus, if dst->obsolete<0, let stale_bundle() validate the state, else always return NULL. In general, we need to do things more intelligently here because we flush too much state during rule changes. Herbert Xu has some ideas wherein the key manager gives us some help in this area. We can also use smarter state management algorithms inside of the kernel as well. Signed-off-by: David S.

There was a missed xfs_alloc_fix_freelist condition test that did not correctly test "flags". The same test would also test an uninitialised structure field (args->userdata) and depending on its value either would or would not return early with a critical buffer pointer set to NULL. This fixes that up, adds asserts to several places to catch future botches of this nature, and skips sections of xfs_alloc_fix_freelist that are irrelevent for the space-freeing case.

Found during OpenVZ internal testing. At first we thought that it is OpenVZ specific as we added dst_run_gc(0) call in dst_dev_event(), but as Alexey pointed to me it is possible to trigger this condition in mainstream kernel. F.e. timer has fired on CPU2, but the handler was preeempted by an irq before dst_lock is tried. Meanwhile, someone on CPU1 adds an entry to gc list and starts the timer. If CPU2 was preempted long enough, this timer can expire simultaneously with resuming timer handler on CPU1, arriving exactly to the situation described.

This scenario can cause the tx queue to be stopped forever if tg3_tx() has just freed up the entire tx_ring. The possibility of this happening should be very rare though. The following changes are made: 1. Add memory barrier to fix the above race condition. 2. Eliminate the private tx_lock altogether and rely solely on netif_tx_lock. This eliminates one spinlock in tg3_start_xmit() when the ring is full. 3. Because of 2, use netif_tx_lock in tg3_tx() before calling netif_wake_queue(). 4. Change TX_BUFFS_AVAIL to an inline function with a memory barrier. Herbert and David suggested using the memory barrier instead of volatile. 5. Check for the full wake queue condition before getting netif_tx_lock in tg3_tx(). This reduces the number of unnecessary spinlocks when the tx ring is full in a steady-state condition. 6. Update version to 3.65. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Acked-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
