2009-02-24netxen: handle pci bar 0 mapping failureDhananjay Phadke
PCI bar 0 is used for memory mapped register access. If ioremap fails (returns NULL), register access results in crash. Use pci_ioremap_bar() instead of ioremap(), the latter fails on on 32 bit powerpc where pci resource address is > 32 bits.

2009-02-24netxen: fix physical port mappingDhananjay Phadke
The PCI function to physical port mapping is valid only for old firmware. New firmware (4.0.0+) abstracts this. So driver should never try to access phy using invalid mapping. The behavior is unpredictable when PCI functions 4-7 are enabled on the same NIC. Signed-off-by: Dhananjay Phadke <dhananjay@netxen.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2009-02-23proc: proc_get_inode should de_put when inode already initializedKrzysztof Sachanowicz
de_get is called before every proc_get_inode, but corresponding de_put is called only when dropping last reference to an inode. This might cause something like remove_proc_entry: /proc/stats busy, count=14496 to be printed to the syslog. The fix is to call de_put in case of an already initialized inode in proc_get_inode.

The fix for CVE-2009-0676 (upstream commit df0bca04) is incomplete. Note that the same problem of leaking kernel memory will reappear if someone on some architecture uses struct timeval with some internal padding (for example tv_sec 64-bit and tv_usec 32-bit) --- then, you are going to leak the padded bytes to userspace.

2009-02-22netns: Remove net_aliveEric W. Biederman
It turns out that net_alive is unnecessary, and the original problem that led to it being added was simply that the icmp code thought it was a network device and wound up being unable to handle packets while there were still packets in the network namespace. Now that icmp and tcp have been fixed to properly register themselves this problem is no longer present and we have a stronger guarantee that packets will not arrive in a network namespace then that provided by net_alive in netif_receive_skb. So remove net_alive allowing packet reception run a little faster. Additionally document the strong reason why network namespace cleanup is safe so that if something happens again someone else will have a chance of figuring it out. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2009-02-22netns: Fix icmp shutdown.Eric W. Biederman
Recently I had a kernel panic in icmp_send during a network namespace cleanup. There were packets in the arp queue that failed to be sent and we attempted to generate an ICMP host unreachable message, but failed because icmp_sk_exit had already been called. The network devices are removed from a network namespace and their arp queues are flushed before we do attempt to shutdown subsystems so this error should have been impossible. It turns out icmp_init is using register_pernet_device instead of register_pernet_subsys. Which resulted in icmp being shut down while we still had the possibility of packets in flight, making a nasty NULL pointer deference in interrupt context possible. Changing this to register_pernet_subsys fixes the problem in my testing. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@aristanetworks.com> Acked-by: Denis V.

2009-02-23drm/i915: Don't let a device flush to prepare buffers clear new write_domains.Eric Anholt
The problem was that object_set_to_gpu_domain would set the new write_domains that are getting set by this batchbuffer, then the accumulated flushes required for all the objects in preparation for this batchbuffer were posted, and the brand new write domain would get cleared by the flush being posted. Instead, hang on to the new (or old if we're not changing it) value and set it after the flush is queued. Results from this noticably included conformance test failures from reads shortly after writes (where the new write domain had been lost and thus not flushed and waited on), but is a suspected cause of hangs in some apps when a write domain is lost on a buffer that gets reused for instruction or commmand state.

2009-02-23selinux: Fix the NetLabel glue code for setsockopt()Paul Moore
At some point we (okay, I) managed to break the ability for users to use the setsockopt() syscall to set IPv4 options when NetLabel was not active on the socket in question. The problem was noticed by someone trying to use the "-R" (record route) option of ping: # ping -R 10.0.0.1 ping: record route: No message of desired type The solution is relatively simple, we catch the unlabeled socket case and clear the error code, allowing the operation to succeed. Please note that we still deny users the ability to override IPv4 options on socket's which have NetLabel labeling active; this is done to ensure the labeling remains intact.

The kernel-api docbook was much larger than any of the others, so processing it took longer and needed some docbook extras in some cases, so split it into kernel-api (infrastructure etc.) and device drivers/device subsystems. This allows these docbooks to be generated in parallel. (This reduced the docbook processing time on my 4-proc system with make -j4 from about 5min:16sec to about 2min:01sec.)

2009-02-22x86: Add IRQF_TIMER to legacy x86 timer interrupt descriptorsLinus Torvalds
Right now nobody cares, but the suspend/resume code will eventually want to suspend device interrupts without suspending the timer, and will depend on this flag to know. The modern x86 timer infrastructure uses the local APIC timers and never shows up as a device interrupt at all, so it isn't affected and doesn't need any of this. Cc: Rafael J.

2009-02-22netns: fix double free at netns creationDaniel Lezcano
This patch fix a double free when a network namespace fails. The previous code does a kfree of the net_generic structure when one of the init subsystem initialization fails. The 'setup_net' function does kfree(ng) and returns an error. The caller, 'copy_net_ns', call net_free on error, and this one calls kfree(net->gen), making this pointer freed twice. This patch make the code symetric, the net_alloc does the net_generic allocation and the net_free frees the net_generic. Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano <daniel.lezcano@free.fr> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-02-21tcp: Always set urgent pointer if it's beyond snd_nxtHerbert Xu
Our TCP stack does not set the urgent flag if the urgent pointer does not fit in 16 bits, i.e., if it is more than 64K from the sequence number of a packet. This behaviour is different from the BSDs, and clearly contradicts the purpose of urgent mode, which is to send the notification (though not necessarily the associated data) as soon as possible. Our current behaviour may in fact delay the urgent notification indefinitely if the receiver window does not open up. Simply matching BSD however may break legacy applications which incorrectly rely on the out-of-band delivery of urgent data, and conversely the in-band delivery of non-urgent data. Alexey Kuznetsov suggested a safe solution of following BSD only if the urgent pointer itself has not yet been transmitted. This way we guarantee that when the remote end sees the packet with non-urgent data marked as urgent due to wrap-around we would have advanced the urgent pointer beyond, either to the actual urgent data or to an as-yet untransmitted packet. The only potential downside is that applications on the remote end may see multiple SIGURG notifications. However, this would occur anyway with other TCP stacks. More importantly, the outcome of such a duplicate notification is likely to be harmless since the signal itself does not carry any information other than the fact that we're in urgent mode. Thanks to Ilpo Järvinen for fixing a critical bug in this and Jeff Chua for reporting that bug.
