      PnP: move pnpacpi/pnpbios_init to after PCI init · ed458df4
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      We already did that a long time ago for pnp_system_init, but
      pnpacpi_init and pnpbios_init remained as subsys_initcalls, and get
      linked into the kernel before the arch-specific routines that finalize
      the PCI resources (pci_subsys_init).
      
      This means that the PnP routines would either register their resources
      before the PCI layer could, or would be unable to check whether a PCI
      resource had already been registered.  Both are problematic.
      
      I wanted to do this before 2.6.27, but every time we change something
      like this, something breaks.  That said, _every_ single time we trust
      some firmware (like PnP tables) more than we trust the hardware itself
      (like PCI probing), the problems have been worse.

      Don't allow splice() to files opened with O_APPEND · efc968d4
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      This is debatable, but while we're debating it, let's disallow the
      combination of splice and an O_APPEND destination.
      
      It's not entirely clear what the semantics of O_APPEND should be, and
      POSIX apparently expects pwrite() to ignore O_APPEND, for example.  So
      we could make up any semantics we want, including the old ones.
      
      But Miklos convinced me that we should at least give it some thought,
      and that accepting writes at arbitrary offsets is wrong at least for
      IS_APPEND() files (which always have O_APPEND set, even if the reverse
      isn't true: you can obviously have O_APPEND set on a regular file).
      
      So disallow O_APPEND entirely for now.  I doubt anybody cares, and this
      way we have one less gray area to worry about.

      SLOB: fix bogus ksize calculation fix · 70096a56
      Matt Mackall 提交于
      This fixes the previous fix, which was completely wrong on closer
      inspection. This version has been manually tested with a user-space
      test harness and generates sane values. A nearly identical patch has
      been boot-tested.
      
      The problem arose from changing how kmalloc/kfree handled alignment
      padding without updating ksize to match. This brings it in sync.

      Because of rounding, in certain conditions, i.e. when in congestion
      avoidance state rho is smaller than 1/128 of the current cwnd, TCP
      Hybla congestion control starves and the cwnd is kept constant
      forever.

      net: Fix netdev_run_todo dead-lock · 58ec3b4d
      Herbert Xu 提交于
      Benjamin Thery tracked down a bug that explains many instances
      of the error
      
      unregister_netdevice: waiting for %s to become free. Usage count = %d
      
      It turns out that netdev_run_todo can dead-lock with itself if
      a second instance of it is run in a thread that will then free
      a reference to the device waited on by the first instance.
      
      The problem is really quite silly.  We were trying to create
      parallelism where none was required.  As netdev_run_todo always
      follows a RTNL section, and that todo tasks can only be added
      with the RTNL held, by definition you should only need to wait
      for the very ones that you've added and be done with it.
      
      There is no need for a second mutex or spinlock.
      
      This is exactly what the following patch does.

      tcp: Fix possible double-ack w/ user dma · 53240c20
      Ali Saidi 提交于
      From: Ali Saidi <saidi@engin.umich.edu>
      
      When TCP receive copy offload is enabled it's possible that
      tcp_rcv_established() will cause two acks to be sent for a single
      packet. In the case that a tcp_dma_early_copy() is successful,
      copied_early is set to true which causes tcp_cleanup_rbuf() to be
      called early which can send an ack. Further along in
      tcp_rcv_established(), __tcp_ack_snd_check() is called and will
      schedule a delayed ACK. If no packets are processed before the delayed
      ack timer expires the packet will be acked twice.

      net: only invoke dev->change_rx_flags when device is UP · b6c40d68
      Patrick McHardy 提交于
      Jesper Dangaard Brouer <hawk@comx.dk> reported a bug when setting a VLAN
      device down that is in promiscous mode:
      
      When the VLAN device is set down, the promiscous count on the real
      device is decremented by one by vlan_dev_stop(). When removing the
      promiscous flag from the VLAN device afterwards, the promiscous
      count on the real device is decremented a second time by the
      vlan_change_rx_flags() callback.
      
      The root cause for this is that the ->change_rx_flags() callback is
      invoked while the device is down. The synchronization is meant to mirror
      the behaviour of the ->set_rx_mode callbacks, meaning the ->open function
      is responsible for doing a full sync on open, the ->close() function is
      responsible for doing full cleanup on ->stop() and ->change_rx_flags()
      is meant to do incremental changes while the device is UP.
      
      Only invoke ->change_rx_flags() while the device is UP to provide the
      intended behaviour.

      SLOB's ksize calculation was braindamaged and generally harmlessly
      underreported the allocation size. But for very small buffers, it could
      in fact overreport them, leading code depending on krealloc to overrun
      the allocation and trample other data.
