Merge batch of fixes from Andrew Morton:
"The simple_open() cleanup was held back while I wanted for laggards to
merge things.I still need to send a few checkpoint/restore patches. I've been
wobbly about merging them because I'm wobbly about the overall
prospects for success of the project. But after speaking with Pavel
at the LSF conference, it sounds like they're further toward
completion than I feared - apparently davem is at the "has stopped
complaining" stage regarding the net changes. So I need to go back
and re-review those patchs and their (lengthy) discussion."* emailed from Andrew Morton : (16 patches)

Many users of debugfs copy the implementation of default_open() when
they want to support a custom read/write function op. This leads to a
proliferation of the default_open() implementation across the entire
tree.Now that the common implementation has been consolidated into libfs we
can replace all the users of this function with simple_open().This replacement was done with the following semantic patch:
@ open @

In IPv4, if an RTA_IIF attribute is specified within an RTM_GETROUTE
message, then a route is searched as if a packet was received on the
specified 'iif' interface.However in IPv6, RTA_IIF is not interpreted in the same way:
'inet6_rtm_getroute()' always calls 'ip6_route_output()', regardless the
RTA_IIF attribute.As a result, in IPv6 there's no way to use RTM_GETROUTE in order to look
for a route as if a packet was received on a specific interface.Fix 'inet6_rtm_getroute()' so that RTA_IIF is interpreted as "lookup a
route as if a packet was received on the specified interface", similar
to IPv4's 'inet_rtm_getroute()' interpretation.Reported-by: Ami Koren

If both addresses equal, nothing needs to be done. If the device is down,
then we simply copy the new address to dev->dev_addr. If the device is up,
then we add another loopback device with the new address, and if that does
not fail, we remove the loopback device with the old address. And only
then, we update the dev->dev_addr.Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann

An infinite loop occurred if garp_attr_create was called with the values
of an existing attribute. This might happen if a previous leave request
for the attribute has not yet been followed by a PDU transmission (or,
if the application previously issued a join request for the attribute
and is now issuing another one, without having issued a leave request).If garp_attr_create finds an existing attribute having the same values,
return the address to it. Its state will then get updated (i.e., if it
was in a leaving state, it will move into a non-leaving state and not
get deleted during the next PDU transmission).To accomplish this fix, collapse garp_attr_insert into garp_attr_create
(which is its only caller).Thanks to Jorge Boncompte [DTI2] for contributing to
this fix.Signed-off-by: David Ward

Pull nfsd changes from Bruce Fields:
Highlights:
- Benny Halevy and Tigran Mkrtchyan implemented some more 4.1 features,
moving us closer to a complete 4.1 implementation.
- Bernd Schubert fixed a long-standing problem with readdir cookies on
ext2/3/4.
- Jeff Layton performed a long-overdue overhaul of the server reboot
recovery code which will allow us to deprecate the current code (a
rather unusual user of the vfs), and give us some needed flexibility
for further improvements.
- Like the client, we now support numeric uid's and gid's in the
auth_sys case, allowing easier upgrades from NFSv2/v3 to v4.x.Plus miscellaneous bugfixes and cleanup.
Thanks to everyone!
There are also some delegation fixes waiting on vfs review that I
suppose will have to wait for 3.5. With that done I think we'll finally
turn off the "EXPERIMENTAL" dependency for v4 (though that's mostly
symbolic as it's been on by default in distro's for a while).And the list of 4.1 todo's should be achievable for 3.5 as well:
http://wiki.linux-nfs.org/wiki/index.php/Server_4.0_and_4.1_issues

on by default.* 'for-3.4' of git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/linux: (55 commits)

Pull "Disintegrate and delete asm/system.h" from David Howells:
"Here are a bunch of patches to disintegrate asm/system.h into a set of
separate bits to relieve the problem of circular inclusion
dependencies.I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can
and made sure that they don't break.The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular
dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to
optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2().This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in
asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h.The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h. It holds a number of
low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg.
memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that
aren't used in many places (eg. switch_to()).These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces:
(1) asm/barrier.h
Move memory barriers here. This already done for MIPS and Alpha.
(2) asm/switch_to.h
Move switch_to() and related stuff here.
(3) asm/exec.h
Move arch_align_stack() here. Other process execution related bits
could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h.(4) asm/cmpxchg.h
Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and
frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg().(5) asm/bug.h
Move die() and related bits.
(6) asm/auxvec.h
Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here.
Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis."
Fixed up some conflicts from other header file cleanups and moving code
around that has happened in the meantime, so David's testing is somewhat
weakened by that. We'll find out anything that got broken and fix it..* tag 'split-asm_system_h-for-linus-20120328' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-asm_system: (38 commits)

While investigating another bug, I found that the code on the incoming path
in __netif_receive_skb will only set skb->skb_iif if it is already 0. When
dev_forward_skb() is used in the case of interfaces like veth, skb_iif may
already have been set. Making dev_forward_skb() cause the packet to look
like a newly received packet would seem to the the correct behaviour here,
as otherwise the wrong incoming interface can be reported for such a packet.Signed-off-by: Benjamin LaHaise

When using multicast over a local bridge feeding a number of LXC guests
using veth, the LXC guests are unable to get a response from other guests
when pinging 224.0.0.1. Multicast packets did not appear to be getting
delivered to the network namespaces of the guest hosts, and further
inspection showed that the incoming route was pointing to the loopback
device of the host, not the guest. This lead to the wrong network namespace
being picked up by sockets (like ICMP). Fix this by using the correct
network namespace when creating the inbound route entry.Signed-off-by: Benjamin LaHaise

Pull avoidance patches from Paul Gortmaker:
"Nearly every subsystem has some kind of header with a proto like:void foo(struct device *dev);
and yet there is no reason for most of these guys to care about the

reduce the scope of headers including headers. For this instance, a
reduction of about 40% is achieved by replacing the include with the
simple fact that the device is some kind of a struct.Unlike the much larger module.h cleanup, this one is simply two

In some cases the poll() implementation in a driver has to do different
things depending on the events the caller wants to poll for. An example
is when a driver needs to start a DMA engine if the caller polls for
POLLIN, but doesn't want to do that if POLLIN is not requested but instead
only POLLOUT or POLLPRI is requested. This is something that can happen
in the video4linux subsystem among others.Unfortunately, the current epoll/poll/select implementation doesn't
provide that information reliably. The poll_table_struct does have it: it
has a key field with the event mask. But once a poll() call matches one
or more bits of that mask any following poll() calls are passed a NULL
poll_table pointer.Also, the eventpoll implementation always left the key field at ~0 instead
of using the requested events mask.This was changed in eventpoll.c so the key field now contains the actual
events that should be polled for as set by the caller.The solution to the NULL poll_table pointer is to set the qproc field to
NULL in poll_table once poll() matches the events, not the poll_table
pointer itself. That way drivers can obtain the mask through a new
poll_requested_events inline.The poll_table_struct can still be NULL since some kernel code calls it
internally (netfs_state_poll() in ./drivers/staging/pohmelfs/netfs.h). In
that case poll_requested_events() returns ~0 (i.e. all events).Very rarely drivers might want to know whether poll_wait will actually
wait. If another earlier file descriptor in the set already matched the
events the caller wanted to wait for, then the kernel will return from the
select() call without waiting. This might be useful information in order
to avoid doing expensive work.A new helper function poll_does_not_wait() is added that drivers can use
to detect this situation. This is now used in sock_poll_wait() in
include/net/sock.h. This was the only place in the kernel that needed
this information.Drivers should no longer access any of the poll_table internals, but use
the poll_requested_events() and poll_does_not_wait() access functions
instead. In order to enforce that the poll_table fields are now prepended
with an underscore and a comment was added warning against using them
directly.This required a change in unix_dgram_poll() in unix/af_unix.c which used
the key field to get the requested events. It's been replaced by a call
to poll_requested_events().For qproc it was especially important to change its name since the
behavior of that field changes with this patch since this function pointer
can now be NULL when that wasn't possible in the past.Any driver accessing the qproc or key fields directly will now fail to compile.
Some notes regarding the correctness of this patch: the driver's poll()
function is called with a 'struct poll_table_struct *wait' argument. This
pointer may or may not be NULL, drivers can never rely on it being one or
the other as that depends on whether or not an earlier file descriptor in
the select()'s fdset matched the requested events.There are only three things a driver can do with the wait argument:
1) obtain the key field:
events = wait ? wait->key : ~0;
This will still work although it should be replaced with the new
poll_requested_events() function (which does exactly the same).
This will now even work better, since wait is no longer set to NULL
unnecessarily.2) use the qproc callback. This could be deadly since qproc can now be
NULL. Renaming qproc should prevent this from happening. There are no
kernel drivers that actually access this callback directly, BTW.3) test whether wait == NULL to determine whether poll would return without
waiting. This is no longer sufficient as the correct test is now
wait == NULL || wait->_qproc == NULL.However, the worst that can happen here is a slight performance hit in
the case where wait != NULL and wait->_qproc == NULL. In that case the
driver will assume that poll_wait() will actually add the fd to the set
of waiting file descriptors. Of course, poll_wait() will not do that
since it tests for wait->_qproc. This will not break anything, though.There is only one place in the whole kernel where this happens
(sock_poll_wait() in include/net/sock.h) and that code will be replaced
by a call to poll_does_not_wait() in the next patch.Note that even if wait->_qproc != NULL drivers cannot rely on poll_wait()
actually waiting. The next file descriptor from the set might match the
event mask and thus any possible waits will never happen.Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil

Pull NFS client updates for Linux 3.4 from Trond Myklebust:
"New features include:
- Add NFS client support for containers.This should enable most of the necessary functionality, including
lockd support, and support for rpc.statd, NFSv4 idmapper and
RPCSEC_GSS upcalls into the correct network namespace from which
the mount system call was issued.- NFSv4 idmapper scalability improvements
Base the idmapper cache on the keyring interface to allow
concurrent access to idmapper entries. Start the process of
migrating users from the single-threaded daemon-based approach to
the multi-threaded request-key based approach.- NFSv4.1 implementation id.
Allows the NFSv4.1 client and server to mutually identify each
other for logging and debugging purposes.- Support the 'vers=4.1' mount option for mounting NFSv4.1 instead of
having to use the more counterintuitive 'vers=4,minorversion=1'.- SUNRPC tracepoints.
Start the process of adding tracepoints in order to improve
debugging of the RPC layer.- pNFS object layout support for autologin.

The following patch aimed to resolve an issue where secondary, tertiary,
etc. addresses added to bond interfaces could overwrite the
bond->master_ip and vlan_ip values.commit 917fbdb32f37e9a93b00bb12ee83532982982df3
Author: Henrik Saavedra Persson
Date: Wed Nov 23 23:37:15 2011 +0000bonding: only use primary address for ARP
That patch was good because it prevented bonds using ARP monitoring from
sending frames with an invalid source IP address. Unfortunately, it
didn't always work as expected.When using an ioctl (like ifconfig does) to set the IP address and
netmask, 2 separate ioctls are actually called to set the IP and netmask
if the mask chosen doesn't match the standard mask for that class of
address. The first ioctl did not have a mask that matched the one in
the primary address and would still cause the device address to be
overwritten. The second ioctl that was called to set the mask would
then detect as secondary and ignored, but the damage was already done.This was not an issue when using an application that used netlink
sockets as the setting of IP and netmask came down at once. The
inconsistent behavior between those two interfaces was something that
needed to be resolved.While I was thinking about how I wanted to resolve this, Ralf Zeidler
came with a patch that resolved this on a RHEL kernel by keeping a full
shadow of the entries in dev->ifa_list for the bonding device and vlan
devices in the bonding driver. I didn't like the duplication of the
list as I want to see the 'bonding' struct and code shrink rather than
grow, but liked the general idea.As the Subject indicates this patch drops the master_ip and vlan_ip
elements from the 'bonding' and 'vlan_entry' structs, respectively.
This can be done because a device's address-list is now traversed to
determine the optimal source IP address for ARP requests and for checks
to see if the bonding device has a particular IP address. This code
could have all be contained inside the bonding driver, but it made more
sense to me to EXPORT and call inet_confirm_addr since it did exactly
what was needed.I tested this and a backported patch and everything works as expected.
Ralf also helped with verification of the backported patch.Thanks to Ralf for all his help on this.

We need to permanently attach the timeout policy to the conntrack,
otherwise we may apply the custom timeout policy inconsistently.Without this patch, the following example:
nfct timeout add test inet icmp timeout 100
iptables -I PREROUTING -t raw -p icmp -s 1.1.1.1 -j CT --timeout testWill only apply the custom timeout policy to outgoing packets from
1.1.1.1, but not to reply packets from 2.2.2.2 going to 1.1.1.1.To fix this issue, this patch modifies the current logic to attach the
timeout policy when the first packet is seen (which is when the
conntrack entry is created). Then, we keep using the attached timeout
policy until the conntrack entry is destroyed.Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso

`iptables -p all' uses 0 to match all protocols, while the conntrack
subsystem uses 255. We still need `-p all' to attach the custom
timeout policies for the generic protocol tracker.Moreover, we may use `iptables -p sctp' while the SCTP tracker is
not loaded. In that case, we have to default on the generic protocol
tracker.Another possibility is `iptables -p ip' that should be supported
as well. This patch makes sure we validate all possible scenarios.Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso
