[SCTP]: Prevent possible infinite recursion with multiple bundled DATA.
There is a rare situation that causes lksctp to go into infinite recursion
and crash the system. The trigger is a packet that contains at least the
first two DATA fragments of a message bundled together. The recursion is
triggered when the user data buffer is smaller that the full data message.
The problem is that we clone the skb for every fragment in the message.
When reassembling the full message, we try to link skbs from the "first
fragment" clone using the frag_list. However, since the frag_list is shared
between two clones in this rare situation, we end up setting the frag_list
pointer of the second fragment to point to itself. This causes
sctp_skb_pull() to potentially recurse indefinitely.
Proposed solution is to make a copy of the skb when attempting to link
things using frag_list.

[BLOCK] Fix oops on removal of SD/MMC card
The block layer keeps a reference (driverfs_dev) to the struct

for generating uevents in block_uevent.
Block device uevents include umounting the partition, which can
occur after the backing device has been removed.
Unfortunately, this reference is not counted. This means that
if the struct device is removed from the device tree, the block
layers reference will become stale.
Guard against this by holding a reference to the struct device

[TCP]: Fix sock_orphan dead lock
Calling sock_orphan inside bh_lock_sock in tcp_close can lead to dead
locks. For example, the inet_diag code holds sk_callback_lock without
disabling BH. If an inbound packet arrives during that admittedly tiny
window, it will cause a dead lock on bh_lock_sock. Another possible
path would be through sock_wfree if the network device driver frees the
tx skb in process context with BH enabled.
We can fix this by moving sock_orphan out of bh_lock_sock.
The tricky bit is to work out when we need to destroy the socket
ourselves and when it has already been destroyed by someone else.
By moving sock_orphan before the release_sock we can solve this
problem. This is because as long as we own the socket lock its
state cannot change.
So we simply record the socket state before the release_sock
and then check the state again after we regain the socket lock.
If the socket state has transitioned to TCP_CLOSE in the time being,
we know that the socket has been destroyed. Otherwise the socket is
still ours to keep.
Note that I've also moved the increment on the orphan count forward.
This may look like a problem as we're increasing it even if the socket
is just about to be destroyed where it'll be decreased again. However,
this simply enlarges a window that already exists. This also changes
the orphan count test by one.
Considering what the orphan count is meant to do this is no big deal.
This problem was discoverd by Ingo Molnar using his lock validator.

We have a case where __get_user and __put_user can validly be used

and rely on the alignment exception handler to fix things up in the
rare cases where the cpu can't handle it in hardware. Thus we can
get alignment exceptions in the network stack at interrupt level.
The alignment exception handler does a __get_user to read the
instruction and blows up in might_sleep().
Since a __get_user on a kernel address won't actually ever sleep,
this makes the might_sleep conditional on the address being less
than PAGE_OFFSET.

[PATCH] via-rhine: zero pad short packets on Rhine I ethernet cards
Fixes Rhine I cards disclosing fragments of previously transmitted frames
in new transmissions.
Before transmission, any socket buffer (skb) shorter than the ethernet
minimum length of 60 bytes was zero-padded. On Rhine I cards the data can
later be copied into an aligned transmission buffer without copying this
padding. This resulted in the transmission of the frame with the extra
bytes beyond the provided content leaking the previous contents of this
buffer on to the network.
Now zero-padding is repeated in the local aligned buffer if one is used.
Following a suggestion from the via-rhine maintainer, no attempt is made
here to avoid the duplicated effort of padding the skb if it is known that
an aligned buffer will definitely be used. This is to make the change
"obviously correct" and allow it to be applied to a stable kernel if
necessary. There is no change to the flow of control and the changes are
only to the Rhine I code path.
The patch has run on an in-service Rhine-I host without incident. Frames
shorter than 60 bytes are now correctly zero-padded when captured on a
separate host. I see no unusual stats reported by ifconfig, and no unusual
log messages.

xt_entry_target contains a pointer, so when compiled for 64 bit the

architectures where iptables aligns to 8 byte it will also have 4
byte padding at the end because it is only 36 bytes large.
The compat_ipt_standard_fn in the kernel adjusts the offsets by
which will always result in 4, even if the structure from userspace
was already padded to a multiple of 8. On x86 this works out by
accident because userspace only aligns to 4, on all other
architectures this is broken and causes incorrect adjustments to
the size and following offsets.

[PATCH] s390: fix ipd handling
As pointed out by Paulo Marques <pmarques@grupopie.com> MAX_IPD_TIME is by
a factor of ten too small. Since this means that we allow ten times more
IPDs in the intended time frame this could result in a cpu check stop of a
physical cpu.

[PATCH] powerpc: Allow devices to register with numa topology
Change of_node_to_nid() to traverse the device tree, looking for a numa id.
Cell uses this to assign ids to SPUs, which are children of the CPU node.
Existing users of of_node_to_nid() are altered to use of_node_to_nid_single(),
which doesn't do the traversal.
Export an attach_sysdev_to_node() function, allowing system devices (eg.
SPUs) to link themselves into the numa topology in sysfs.

[PATCH] spufs: fix for CONFIG_NUMA
Based on an older patch from Mike Kravetz <kravetz@us.ibm.com>
We need to have a mem_map for high addresses in order to make fops->no_page
work on spufs mem and register files. So far, we have used the
memory_present() function during early bootup, but that did not work when
CONFIG_NUMA was enabled.
We now use the __add_pages() function to add the mem_map when loading the
spufs module, which is a lot nicer.

[PATCH] page migration: Fix fallback behavior for dirty pages
Currently we check PageDirty() in order to make the decision to swap out
the page. However, the dirty information may be only be contained in the
ptes pointing to the page. We need to first unmap the ptes before checking
for PageDirty(). If unmap is successful then the page count of the page
will also be decreased so that pageout() works properly.
This is a fix necessary for 2.6.17. Without this fix we may migrate dirty
pages for filesystems without migration functions. Filesystems may keep
pointers to dirty pages. Migration of dirty pages can result in the
filesystem keeping pointers to freed pages.
Unmapping is currently not be separated out from removing all the
references to a page and moving the mapping. Therefore try_to_unmap will
be called again in migrate_page() if the writeout is successful. However,
it wont do anything since the ptes are already removed.
The coming updates to the page migration code will restructure the code
so that this is no longer necessary.

GCC hardened introduces additional symbol refererences (for the canary and
friends), also in modules - add weak export_symbols for them. We already
tested that the weak declaration creates no problem on both GCC's providing
the function definition and on GCC's which don't provide it.

[PATCH] uml: cleanup unprofile expression and build infrastructure
*) Rather than duplicate in various buggy ways the application of
CFLAGS_NO_HARDENING and UNPROFILE (which apply to the same files),
centralize it in Makefile.rules. UNPROFILE_OBJS mustn't be listed in
USER_OBJS but are compiled as such.
I've also verified that unprofile didn't work in the current form, because we
set _c_flags directly (using CFLAGS and not USER_CFLAGS, which is wrong),
which is normally used by c_flags, but we also override c_flags for all
USER_OBJS, and there we don't call unprofile.
Instead it only worked for unmap.o, the only one which wasn't a USER_OBJ.
We need to set c_flags (which is not a public Kbuild API) to clear a lot of
compilation flags like -nostdinc which Kbuild forces on everything.
*) Rather than $(CFLAGS_$(notdir $@)), which expands to CFLAGS_anObj.s when
building "anObj.s", use $(CFLAGS_$(*F).o) which always accesses
CFLAGS_anObj.o, like done by Kbuild.
*) Make c_flags apply to all targets having the same basename, rather than
listing .s, .i, .lst and .o, with the use (which I tested) of

[PATCH] uml: fix compilation and execution with hardened GCC
To make some half-assembly stubs compile, disable various "hardened" GCC
features:
*) we can't make it build PIC code as we need %ebx to do syscalls and GCC
wants it free for PIC
*) we can't leave stack protection as the stub is moved (not relocated!) in
memory so the RIP-relative access to the canary tries reading from an
unmapped address and causes a segfault, since we move the stub of various
megabytes (the exact amount will be decided at runtime) away from the
link-time address.
