  • Several people have reported LITE-ON LTR-48246S detection failed
    because SETXFER fails. It seems the device raises IRQ too early after
    SETXFER. This is controller independent. The same problem has been
    reported for different controllers.

    So, now we have pata_via where the controller raises IRQ before it's
    ready after SETXFER and a device which does similar thing. This patch
    makes libata always execute SETXFER via polling. As this only happens
    during EH, performance impact is nil. Setting ATA_TFLAG_POLLING is
    also moved from issue hot path to ata_dev_set_xfermode() - the only
    place where SETXFER can be issued.

    Note that ATA_TFLAG_POLLING applies only to drivers which implement
    SFF TF interface and use libata HSM. More advanced controllers ignore
    the flag. This doesn't matter for this fix as SFF TF controllers are
    the problematic ones.

  • We've had several reoprts of the CPU jumping to 0x00000000 is do_ioctl(). I
    assume that there's a race and someone is zeroing out the ioctl handler while
    this CPU waits for the lock_kernel().

    The patch adds code to detect this, then emits stuff which will hopefuly lead
    us to the culprit.

  • There is a race between input handler's release() and disconnect()
    methods: when input handler disconnects it wakes up all regular
    users and then process to walk user list to wake up async. users.
    While disconnect() walks the list release() removes elements of
    the same list causing oopses.

    While this is not a substibute for proper locking we can reduce
    odds of getting an oops if we wake up normal readers after walking
    the list.

  • Currently when icmp_errors_use_inbound_ifaddr is set and an ICMP error is
    sent after the packet passed through ip_output(), an address from the
    outgoing interface is chosen as ICMP source address since skb->dev doesn't
    point to the incoming interface anymore.

    Fix this by doing an interface lookup on rt->dst.iif and using that device.

  • This isn't a bug just yet as only TCP uses sk_setup_caps for GSO.
    However, if and when UDP or something else starts using it this is
    likely to cause a problem if we forget to add software emulation
    for it at the same time.

    The problem is that right now we translate GSO emulation to the
    bitmask NETIF_F_GSO_MASK, which includes every protocol, even
    ones that we cannot emulate.

    This patch makes it provide only the ones that we can emulate.

  • The code used to ignore GSO completely, passing either way too
    small or zero pkts_acked when GSO skb or part of it got ACKed.
    In addition, there is no need to calculate the value in the loop
    but simple arithmetics after the loop is sufficient. There is
    no need to handle SYN case specially because congestion control
    modules are not yet initialized when FLAG_SYN_ACKED is set.

  • The compiler warning

    drivers/atm/firestream.c: In function ‘top_off_fp’:
    drivers/atm/firestream.c:1505: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size

    does indicate a bug, albeit a minor one. Fixed, by using a 32-bit
    temporary prior to the call to bus_to_virt().

    The larger bug is still present: the entire driver assumes that machine
    pointers are 32-bit, as it stores pointers in 32-bit hardware registers.
    This is obvious to anyone who knows the driver well, but for the casual
    readers it is helpfully noted with FIXME.

  • This diff changes the default port range used for outgoing connections,
    from "use 32768-61000 in most cases, but use N-4999 on small boxes
    (where N is a multiple of 1024, depending on just *how* small the box
    is)" to just "use 32768-61000 in all cases".

    I don't believe there are any drawbacks to this change, and it keeps
    outgoing connection ports farther away from the mess of
    IANA-registered ports.

  • Based upon an excellent bug report and initial patch by
    Frederik Deweerdt.

    The UNIX datagram connect code blindly dereferences other->sk_socket
    via the call down to the security_unix_may_send() function.

    Without locking 'other' that pointer can go NULL via unix_release_sock()
    which does sock_orphan() which also marks the socket SOCK_DEAD.

    So we have to lock both 'sk' and 'other' yet avoid all kinds of
    potential deadlocks (connect to self is OK for datagram sockets and it
    is possible for two datagram sockets to perform a simultaneous connect
    to each other). So what we do is have a "double lock" function similar
    to how we handle this situation in other areas of the kernel. We take
    the lock of the socket pointer with the smallest address first in
    order to avoid ABBA style deadlocks.

    Once we have them both locked, we check to see if SOCK_DEAD is set
    for 'other' and if so, drop everything and retry the lookup.

  • The bug is caused by code that always set
    (TG3_FLAG_USE_MI_INTERRUPT | TG3_FLAG_USE_LINKCHG_REG) on all Dell's
    onboard devices. With these 2 flags set, the link status is polled
    by tg3_timer() and will only work when the PHY is set up to interrupt
    the MAC on link changes. This breaks 5906 because the 5906 PHY does
    not support TG3_FLAG_USE_MI_INTERRUPT the same as other PHYs.

    For correctness, only Dell's onboard 5701 needs these 2 flags to be
    set. This change will fix the 5906 problem and will change other
    Dell devices except 5700 and 5701 to use the more efficient
    interrupt-driven link changes.

    Update version to 3.77.

  • The unix_state_*() locking macros imply that there is some
    rwlock kind of thing going on, but the implementation is
    actually a spinlock which makes the code more confusing than
    it needs to be.

    So use plain unix_state_lock and unix_state_unlock.
