Venki Pallipadi ec28297a56 [PATCH] Fix maxcpus=1 trigerring BUG() in cpufreq
Ingo reported it on lkml in the thread
  "2.6.21-rc5: maxcpus=1 crash in cpufreq: kernel BUG at drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c:82!"

This check added to remove_dev  is symmetric to one in add_dev and handles
callbacks for offline cpus cleanly.

Russ Cox 04a3952330 [PATCH] Add const to pointer qualifiers for __chk_user_ptr and __chk_io_ptr.
Change prototypes for __chk_user_ptr and __chk_io_ptr to take const
void* instead of void*, so that code can pass "const void *" to them.

(Right now sparse does not warn about passing const void* to void*
functions, but that is a separate bug that I believe Josh is working on,
and once sparse does check this, the changed prototypes will be
necessary.)

David Brownell 8a3c1f573c USB: omap_udc: workaround dma_free_coherent() bogosity
Various fixes to omap_udc, noted with some recent testing:

 - Cope with some SMP-induced braindamage in ARM's dma_{alloc,free}_coherent()
   implementation: alloc() can be called with IRQs blocked, but since late
   last year that's no longer true for free().  This resolves really NASTY
   problems with logspamming via WARN_ON(), indicating N-page leaks.

 - Be more correct in handling GET_STATUS request for RECIP_ENDPOINT ... the
   previous code only handled RECIP_INTERFACE, this version should be correct
   except for (sigh) bulk/interrupt endpoints.

 - Provide a better name for the function reporting whether the board has
   vbus sensing wired up.

GET_STATUS requests for endpoint status still acts strangely though, at least
given one flakey host doesn't always ack the first DATA packet, then the packet
that gets retransmitted doesn't have data!

Suleiman Souhlal 513daadd15 ide: use correct IDE error recovery
IDE error recovery is using IDLE IMMEDIATE if the drive is busy or has DRQ set.
This violates the ATA spec (can only send IDLE IMMEDIATE when drive is not
busy) and really hoses up some drives (modern drives will not be able to
recover using this error handling).  The correct thing to do is issue a SRST
followed by a SET FEATURES command.  This is what Western Digital recommends
for error recovery and what Western Digital says Windows does.  It also does
not violate the ATA spec as far as I can tell.

Bart:
* port the patch over the current tree
* undo the recalibration code removal
* send SET FEATURES command after checking for good drive status
* don't check whether the current request is of REQ_TYPE_ATA_{CMD,TASK}
  type because we need to send SET FEATURES before handling any requests
* some pre-ATA4 drives require INITIALIZE DEVICE PARAMETERS command before
  other commands (except IDENTIFY) so send SET FEATURES only if there are
  no pending drive->special requests
* update comments and patch description
* any bugs introduced by this patch are mine and not Suleiman's :-)

[ bart: the ressurection of 2 years old patch which slipped thru the cracks
  (thanks to Sergei Shtylyov for finding it) ]

These is the patch to turn on pdc202xx_new for ATAPI DMA.  When testing, it
works fine without the (request_bufflen % 256) workaround as needed in libata.
ide-scsi filters out (pc->request_transfer % 1024) and use PIO, so the pdc202xx
ATAPI DMA problem is avoid.  Both ide-cd and ide-scsi won't hit the ATAPI DMA
problem on pdc202xx_new.

Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz 8799620400 ide: fix locking for manual DMA enable/disable ("hdparm -d")
Since hwif->ide_dma_check and hwif->ide_dma_on never queue any commands
(ide_config_drive_speed() sets transfer mode using polling and has no error
recovery) we are safe with setting hwgroup->busy for the time while DMA
setting for a drive is changed (so it won't race against I/O commands in fly).

I audited briefly all ->ide_dma_check/->ide_dma_on/->tuneproc/->speedproc
implementations and they all look OK wrt to this change.

This patch finally allowed me to close kernel bugzilla bug #8169
(once again thanks to Patrick Horn for reporting the issue & testing patches).

"ide: fix drive side 80c cable check, take 2" patch from Tejun Heo (commit
fab59375b9) fixed 80c bit test (bit13 of word93)
but we also need to fix master/slave IDENTIFY order (slave device should be
probed first in order to make it release PDIAG- signal) and we should also
check for pre-ATA3 slave devices (which may not release PDIAG- signal).

[ Unfortunately the fact that IDE driver doesn't reset devices itself helps
  only a bit as it seems that some BIOS-es reset ATA devices after programming
  the chipset, some BIOS-es can be set to not probe/configure selected devices,
  there may be no BIOS in case of add-on cards etc. ]

Since we are quite late in the release cycle and the required changes will
affect a lot of systems just revert the fix for now.

[ Please also see libata commit f31f0cc2f0. ]

David Wilder b70842df77 [S390] kprobes: Align probe address.
Running a probe on s390 with a probe address that is not 4 byte aligned
results in a Kernel BUG.  The problem is that the stura instruction used
by swap_instruction requires the destination address to be 4 byte aligned.
As stura only writes 4 bytes, aligning to the next 4 byte aligned address
results in the breakpoint instruction being stored past the probe address.
The fix is to align the address backward (to the previous 4 byte aligned
address) and writing the two byte breakpoint instruction in the appropriate
bytes.

Heiko Carstens afbc1e994d [S390] Fix TCP/UDP pseudo header checksum computation.
git commit f994aae1bd changed the
function declaration of csum_tcpudp_nofold. Argument types were
changed from unsigned long to __be32 (unsigned int). Therefore we
lost the implicit type conversion that zeroed the upper half of the
registers that are used to pass parameters. Since the inline assembly
relied on this we ended up adding random values and wrong checksums
were created.
Showed only up on machines with more than 4GB since gcc produced code
where the registers that are used to pass 'saddr' and 'daddr' previously
contained addresses before calling this function.
Fix this by using 32 bit arithmetics and convert code to C, since gcc
produces better code than these hand-optimized versions.

Michael Chan d18edcb212 [TG3]: Exit irq handler during chip reset.
On most tg3 chips, the memory enable bit in the PCI command register
gets cleared during chip reset and must be restored before accessing
PCI registers using memory cycles.  The chip does not generate
interrupt during chip reset, but the irq handler can still be called
because of irq sharing or irqpoll.  Reading a register in the irq
handler can cause a master abort in this scenario and may result in a
crash on some architectures.

Use the TG3_FLAG_CHIP_RESETTING flag to tell the irq handler to exit
without touching any registers.  The checking of the flag is in the
"slow" path of the irq handler and will not affect normal performance.
The msi handler is not shared and therefore does not require checking
the flag.

David S. Miller f11e6659ce [IPV6]: Fix routing round-robin locking.
As per RFC2461, section 6.3.6, item #2, when no routers on the
matching list are known to be reachable or probably reachable we
do round robin on those available routes so that we make sure
to probe as many of them as possible to detect when one becomes
reachable faster.

Each routing table has a rwlock protecting the tree and the linked
list of routes at each leaf.  The round robin code executes during
lookup and thus with the rwlock taken as a reader.  A small local
spinlock tries to provide protection but this does not work at all
for two reasons:

1) The round-robin list manipulation, as coded, goes like this (with
   read lock held):

	walk routes finding head and tail

	spin_lock();
	rotate list using head and tail
	spin_unlock();

   While one thread is rotating the list, another thread can
   end up with stale values of head and tail and then proceed
   to corrupt the list when it gets the lock.  This ends up causing
   the OOPS in fib6_add() later onthat many people have been hitting.

2) All the other code paths that run with the rwlock held as
   a reader do not expect the list to change on them, they
   expect it to remain completely fixed while they hold the
   lock in that way.

So, simply stated, it is impossible to implement this correctly using
a manipulation of the list without violating the rwlock locking
semantics.

Reimplement using a per-fib6_node round-robin pointer.  This way we
don't need to manipulate the list at all, and since the round-robin
pointer can only ever point to real existing entries we don't need
to perform any locking on the changing of the round-robin pointer
itself.  We only need to reset the round-robin pointer to NULL when
the entry it is pointing to is removed.

The idea is from Thomas Graf and it is very similar to how this
was implemented before the advanced router selection code when in.

Ralf Baechle 954b2e7f4c [NET] AX.25 Kconfig and docs updates and fixes
o The AX.25 Howto is unmaintained since several years.  I've replaced it
   with a wiki at http://www.linux-ax25.org which provides more uptodate
   information.
 o Change default for AX25_DAMA_SLAVE to Y.  AX25_DAMA_SLAVE only compiles
   in support for DAMA but doesn't activate it.  I hope this gets Linux
   distributions to ship their AX.25 kernels with AX25_DAMA_SLAVE enabled.
   The price for this would be very small.
 o Delete historic changelog from comments, that's what SCM systems are
   meant to do.
 o ---help--- in Kconfig looks so yellingly eye insulting.  Use just help.
 o Rewrite the commented out piece of old Linux 2.4 configuration language
   to Kconfig for consistency.
 o Fixup dependencies.

Alexey Kuznetsov ecbb416939 [NET]: Fix neighbour destructor handling.
->neigh_destructor() is killed (not used), replaced with
->neigh_cleanup(), which is called when neighbor entry goes to dead
state. At this point everything is still valid: neigh->dev,
neigh->parms etc.

The device should guarantee that dead neighbor entries (neigh->dead !=
0) do not get private part initialized, otherwise nobody will cleanup
it.

I think this is enough for ipoib which is the only user of this thing.
Initialization private part of neighbor entries happens in ipib
start_xmit routine, which is not reached when device is down.  But it
would be better to add explicit test for neigh->dead in any case.

Thomas Graf e1701c68c1 [NET]: Fix fib_rules compatibility breakage
Based upon a patch from Patrick McHardy.

The fib_rules netlink attribute policy introduced in 2.6.19 broke
userspace compatibilty. When specifying a rule with "from all"
or "to all", iproute adds a zero byte long netlink attribute,
but the policy requires all addresses to have a size equal to
sizeof(struct in_addr)/sizeof(struct in6_addr), resulting in a
validation error.

Check attribute length of FRA_SRC/FRA_DST in the generic framework
by letting the family specific rules implementation provide the
length of an address. Report an error if address length is non
zero but no address attribute is provided. Fix actual bug by
checking address length for non-zero instead of relying on
availability of attribute.
