Alexander V. Lukyanov found a regression in 2.6.29 and made a complete
analysis found in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13339
Quoted here because its a perfect one :

begin_of_quotation
 2.6.29 patch has introduced flexible route cache rebuilding. Unfortunately the
 patch has at least one critical flaw, and another problem.

 rt_intern_hash calculates rthi pointer, which is later used for new entry
 insertion. The same loop calculates cand pointer which is used to clean the
 list. If the pointers are the same, rtable leak occurs, as first the cand is
 removed then the new entry is appended to it.

 This leak leads to unregister_netdevice problem (usage count > 0).

 Another problem of the patch is that it tries to insert the entries in certain
 order, to facilitate counting of entries distinct by all but QoS parameters.
 Unfortunately, referencing an existing rtable entry moves it to list beginning,
 to speed up further lookups, so the carefully built order is destroyed.

 For the first problem the simplest patch it to set rthi=0 when rthi==cand, but
 it will also destroy the ordering.
end_of_quotation

Problematic commit is 1080d709
(net: implement emergency route cache rebulds when gc_elasticity is exceeded)

Trying to keep dst_entries ordered is too complex and breaks the fact that
order should depend on the frequency of use for garbage collection.

A possible fix is to make rt_intern_hash() simpler, and only makes
rt_check_expire() a litle bit smarter, being able to cope with an arbitrary
entries order. The added loop is running on cache hot data, while cpu
is prefetching next object, so should be unnoticied.

rt_check_expire() computes average and standard deviation of chain lengths,
but not correclty reset length to 0 at beginning of each chain.
This probably gives overflows for sum2 (and sum) on loaded machines instead
of meaningful results.

Its possible for cfg80211 to have scheduled the work and for
the global workqueue to not have kicked in prior to a cfg80211
driver's regulatory hint or wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory().

Although this is very unlikely its possible and should fix
this race. When this race would happen you are expected to have
hit a null pointer dereference panic.

Calling cancel_delayed_work() from inside
spin_lock_irqsave, introduces a potential deadlock.

As explained by Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net>

A - lock
T - timer

phase                   CPU 1           CPU 2
---------------------------------------------

some place that calls
cancel_timer_sync()
(which is the | code)
                                        lock-irq(A)
|                                       "lock-irq"(T)
|                                       "unlock"(T)
|                                       wait(T)
                                        unlock(A)

timer softirq
                        "lock"(T)
                        run(T)
                        "unlock"(T)

irq handler
          lock(A)
          unlock(A)

Now all that again, interleaved, leading to deadlock:

                                        lock-irq(A)
                        "lock"(T)
                         run(T)
IRQ during or maybe
before run(T) -->        lock(A)
                                        "lock-irq"(T)
                                        wait(T)

We fix this by moving the call to cancel_delayed_work() into workqueue.
There are cases where the work may not actually be queued or running
at the time we are trying to cancel it, but cancel_delayed_work() is
able to deal with this.

Also cleanup iwl_set_mode related to this call. This function
(iwl_set_mode) is only called when bringing interface up and there will
thus not be any scanning done. No need to try to cancel scanning.

Fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13224, which was also
reported at http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=124081921903223&w=2 .

Commit e8f055f0 ("ath5k: Update reset code") subtly changed the
code that computes floating point values for the PHY3_TIMING register
such that the exponent is off by a decimal point, which can cause
problems with OFDM channel operation.

get_bitmask_order() actually returns the highest bit set plus one,
whereas the previous code wanted the highest bit set.  Instead, use
ilog2 which is what this code is really calculating.  Also check
coef_scaled to handle the (invalid) case where we need log2(0).

Another design flaw in wireless extensions (is anybody
surprised?) in the way it handles the iw_encode_ext
structure: The structure is part of the 'extra' memory
but contains the key length explicitly, instead of it
just being the length of the extra buffer - size of
the struct and using the explicit key length only for
the get operation (which only writes it).

Therefore, we have this layout:

extra: +-------------------------+
       | struct iw_encode_ext  { |
       |     ...                 |
       |     u16 key_len;        |
       |     u8 key[0];          |
       | };                      |
       +-------------------------+
       | key material            |
       +-------------------------+

Now, all drivers I checked use ext->key_len without
checking that both key_len and the struct fit into the
extra buffer that has been copied from userspace. This
leads to a buffer overrun while reading that buffer,
depending on the driver it may be possible to specify
arbitrary key_len or it may need to be a proper length
for the key algorithm specified.

Thankfully, this is only exploitable by root, but root
can actually cause a segfault or use kernel memory as
a key (which you can even get back with siocgiwencode
or siocgiwencodeext from the key buffer).

Fix this by verifying that key_len fits into the buffer
along with struct iw_encode_ext.

Commit 518a09ef (tcp: Fix recvmsg MSG_PEEK influence of

One of the purposes of bonding is to allow for redundant links, and failover
correctly if the cable is pulled. If all the members of a bonded device have
no carrier present, the bonded device itself needs to report no carrier present
to user space so management tools (like routing daemons) can respond.

Bonding in 802.3ad mode does not work correctly for this because it incorrectly
chooses a link that is down as a possible aggregator.

If bridge is configured with no STP and forwarding delay of 0 (which
is typical for virtualization) then when link starts it will flood all
packets for the first 20 seconds.

This bug was introduced by a combination of earlier changes:
  * forwarding database uses hold time of zero to indicate
    user wants to always flood packets
  * optimzation of the case of forwarding delay of 0 avoids the initial
    timer tick

The fix is to just skip all the topology change detection code if
kernel STP is not being used.

Currently the bridge catches all STP packets; even if STP is turned
off.  This prevents other systems (which do have STP turned on)
from being able to detect loops in the network.

With this patch, if STP is off, then any packet sent to the STP
multicast group address is forwarded to all ports.

Based on earlier patch by Joakim Tjernlund with changes
to go through forwarding (not local chain), and optimization
that only last octet needs to be checked.

If a DHCP server is delayed, it's possible for the client to receive the 
DHCPOFFER after it has already sent out a new DHCPDISCOVER message from 
a second interface.  The client then sends out a DHCPREQUEST from the 
second interface, but the server doesn't recognize the device and 
rejects the request.

This patch simply tracks the current device being configured and throws 
away the OFFER if it is not intended for the current device.  A more 
sophisticated approach would be to put the OFFER information into the 
struct ic_device rather than storing it globally.

Ian Campbell noticed that since "Eliminate thousands of warnings with
gcc 3.2 build" (commit 57adc4d2) all
WARN_ON()'s currently appear to come from warn_slowpath_null(), eg:

  WARNING: at kernel/softirq.c:143 warn_slowpath_null+0x1c/0x20()

because now that warn_slowpath_null() is in the call path, the
__builtin_return_address(0) returns that, rather than the place that
caused the warning.

Fix this by splitting up the warn_slowpath_null/fmt cases differently,
using a common helper function, and getting the return address in the
right place.  This also happens to avoid the unnecessary stack usage for
the non-stdargs case, and just generally cleans things up.

Make the function name printout use %pS while at it.

checking for back-to-back request sense issues but drive->pc can be

Processor idle power states C2 and C3 stop the TSC on many machines.
Linux recognizes this situation and marks the TSC as unstable:

Marking TSC unstable due to TSC halts in idle

But if those same machines are booted with "processor.max_cstate=1",
then there is no need to validate C2 and C3, and no need to
disable the TSC, which can be reliably used as a clocksource.

A previous 2.6.30 patch, a71e4917,
(ACPI: idle: mark_tsc_unstable() at init-time, not run-time)
erroneously disabled the TSC on systems that did not actually
have valid deep C-states.

Move the check after the deep-C-states are validated,
via new helper, tsc_check_state(), hich replaces tsc_halts_in_c().
