Add HID_QUIRK_MULTI_INPUT to the EMS USBII (0x0b43/0003) so the kernel detects both joystick
ports properly. Without it you end up with a single joystick node (js0) that combines the
two physical port signals.

On Dell W7658 keyboard, when BIOS sets NumLock LED on, it survives the

Add HID_QUIRK_HIDDEV for the Belkin Flip USB KVM, which provides for software
control of switching via a HID class interface. It overloads three HID LED
usages, two of which aren't mapped in the ev_dev input subsection, and which it
doesn't make sense to map. In order to force the creation of a hiddev device
for controlling the Flip, this quirk flag is needed.

The USB HID driver fails to reset its error-retry timeout when there
has been a long time interval between I/O errors with no successful URB
completions in the meantime. As a result, the very next error would
trigger an immediate reset, even if it was a chance event occurring
long after the previous error.
More USB keyboards and mice than one might expect end up getting I/O
errors. Almost always this results from hardware problems of one sort of
another. For example, people attach the device to a USB extension cable,
which degrades the signal. Or they simply have poor quality cables to
begin with. Or they use a KVM switch which doesn't handle USB messages
correctly. Etc...
There have been reports from several users in which these I/O
errors would occur more or less randomly, at intervals ranging from
seconds to minutes. The error-handling code in hid-core.c was originally
meant for situations where a single outage would persist for a few hundred
ms (electromagnetic interference, for example). It didn't work right when
these more sporadic errors occurred, because of a flaw in the logic
which this patch fixes.
This patch (as873) fixes that oversight.

When we receive an AppleTalk frame shorter than what its header says,
we still attempt to verify its checksum, and trip on the BUG_ON() at
the end of function atalk_sum_skb() because of the length mismatch.
This has security implications because this can be triggered by simply
sending a specially crafted ethernet frame to a target victim,
effectively crashing that host. Thus this qualifies, I think, as a
remote DoS. Here is the frame I used to trigger the crash, in npg
format:
<Appletalk Killer>
{
# Ethernet header -----
XX XX XX XX XX XX # Destination MAC
00 00 00 00 00 00 # Source MAC
00 1D # Length
# LLC header -----
AA AA 03
08 00 07 80 9B # Appletalk
# Appletalk header -----
00 1B # Packet length (invalid)
00 01 # Fake checksum
00 00 00 00 # Destination and source networks
00 00 00 00 # Destination and source nodes and ports
# Payload -----
0C 0D 0E 0F 10 11 12 13
14
}
The destination MAC address must be set to those of the victim.
The severity is mitigated by two requirements:
* The target host must have the appletalk kernel module loaded. I
suspect this isn't so frequent.
* AppleTalk frames are non-IP, thus I guess they can only travel on
local networks. I am no network expert though, maybe it is possible
to somehow encapsulate AppleTalk packets over IP.
The bug has been reported back in June 2004:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2979
But it wasn't investigated, and was closed in July 2006 as both
reporters had vanished meanwhile.
This code was new in kernel 2.6.0-test5:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git;a=commitdiff;h=7ab442d7e0a76402c12553ee256f756097cae2d2
And not modified since then, so we can assume that vanilla kernels
2.6.0-test5 and later, and distribution kernels based thereon, are
affected.
Note that I still do not know for sure what triggered the bug in the
real-world cases. The frame could have been corrupted by the kernel if
we have a bug hiding somewhere. But more likely, we are receiving the
faulty frame from the network.

In debugging a problem w/ the -rt tree, I noticed that on systems that mark
the tsc as unstable before it is registered, the TSC would still be
selected and used for a short period of time. Digging in it looks to be a
result of the mix of the clocksource list changes and my clocksource
initialization changes.
With the -rt tree, using a bad TSC, even for a short period of time can
results in a hang at boot. I was not able to reproduce this hang w/
mainline, but I'm not completely certain that someone won't trip on it.
This patch resolves the issue by initializing the jiffies clocksource
earlier so a bad TSC won't get selected just because nothing else is yet
registered.

Revert all this. It can cause device-mapper to receive a different major from

The generic networking code ensures that no two networking devices
have the same name, so there is no time except when sysfs has
implementation bugs that device_rename when called from
dev_change_name will fail.
The current error handling for errors from device_rename in
dev_change_name is wrong and results in an unusable and unrecoverable
network device if device_rename is happens to return an error.
This patch removes the buggy error handling. Which confines the mess
when device_rename hits a problem to sysfs, instead of propagating it
the rest of the network stack. Making linux a little more robust.
Without this patch you can observe what happens when sysfs has a bug
when CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is not set and you attempt to rename
a real network device to a name like (broken_parity_status, device,
modalias, power, resource2, subsystem_vendor, class, driver, irq,
msi_bus, resource, subsystem, uevent, config, enable, local_cpus,
numa_node, resource0, subsystem_device, vendor)
Greg has a patch that fixes the sysfs bugs but he doesn't trust it
for a 2.6.21 timeframe. This patch which just ignores errors should
be safe and it keeps the system from going completely wacky.

The git commit c2fda5fed81eea077363b285b66eafce20dfd45a which
added the page_test_and_clear_dirty call to page_mkclean and the
git commit 7658cc289288b8ae7dd2c2224549a048431222b3 which fixes
the "nasty and subtle race in shared mmap'ed page writeback"
problem in clear_page_dirty_for_io cause data corruption on s390.
The effect of the two changes is that for every call to
clear_page_dirty_for_io a page_test_and_clear_dirty is done. If
the per page dirty bit is set set_page_dirty is called. Strangly
clear_page_dirty_for_io is called for not-uptodate pages, e.g.
over this call-chain:
[<000000000007c0f2>] clear_page_dirty_for_io+0x12a/0x130
[<000000000007c494>] generic_writepages+0x258/0x3e0
[<000000000007c692>] do_writepages+0x76/0x7c
[<00000000000c7a26>] __writeback_single_inode+0xba/0x3e4
[<00000000000c831a>] sync_sb_inodes+0x23e/0x398
[<00000000000c8802>] writeback_inodes+0x12e/0x140
[<000000000007b9ee>] wb_kupdate+0xd2/0x178
[<000000000007cca2>] pdflush+0x162/0x23c
The bad news now is that page_test_and_clear_dirty might claim
that a not-uptodate page is dirty since SetPageUptodate which
resets the per page dirty bit has not yet been called. The page
writeback that follows clobbers the data on disk.
The simplest solution to this problem is to move the call to
page_test_and_clear_dirty under the "if (page_mapped(page))".
If a file backed page is mapped it is uptodate.

Current 2.6.21 libata does the following:
void ata_tf_read(struct ata_port *ap, struct ata_taskfile *tf)
{
struct ata_ioports *ioaddr = &ap->ioaddr;
tf->command = ata_check_status(ap);
...
if (tf->flags & ATA_TFLAG_LBA48) {
iowrite8(tf->ctl | ATA_HOB, ioaddr->ctl_addr);
tf->hob_feature = ioread8(ioaddr->error_addr);
...
}
}
...
static void fill_result_tf(struct ata_queued_cmd *qc)
{
struct ata_port *ap = qc->ap;
ap->ops->tf_read(ap, &qc->result_tf);
qc->result_tf.flags = qc->tf.flags;
}
Based on this, those last two statements fill_result_tf()
appear to me to be in the wrong order, in that the tf->flags
are uninitialized at the point where tf_read() is invoked.
So for lba48 commands, tf_read() won't be reading back the
full lba48 register contents..
Correct?
This patch corrects fill_result_tf() so that the flags
get copied to result_tf before they are used by tf_read().

If you set the IFF_ALLMULTI flag on a b44 device, or if you join more than
B44_MCAST_TABLE_SIZE multicast groups, the device will stop receiving unicast
messages. This is because the __b44_set_mac_addr call sets the zeroth CAM
entry to the MAC address of the device, and then the loop at line 1722
proceeds to overwrite it unless the value of i is set by the __b44_load_mcast
call. However, when IFF_ALLMULTI is set, that call is bypassed, leaving i set
to zero.
Fixed by starting the loop at 1 to make it skip the CAM entry for the MAC
address.

This is a simplified and actually more comprehensive form of a bug
fix from Mitch Williams <mitch.a.williams@intel.com>.
When we mask or unmask a msi-x irqs the writes may be posted because
we are writing to memory mapped region. This means the mask and
unmask don't happen immediately but at some unspecified time in the
future. Which is out of sync with how the mask/unmask logic work
for ioapic irqs.
The practical result is that we get very subtle and hard to track down
irq migration bugs.
This patch performs a read flush after writes to the MSI-X table for mask
and unmask operations. Since the SMP affinity is set while the interrupt
is masked, and since it's unmasked immediately after, no additional flushes
are required in the various affinity setting routines.
The testing by Mitch Williams on his especially problematic system should
still be valid as I have only simplified the code, not changed the
functionality.
We currently have 7 drivers: cciss, mthca, cxgb3, forceth, s2io,
pcie/portdrv_core, and qla2xxx in 2.6.21 that are affected by this
problem when the hardware they driver is plugged into the right slot.
Given the difficulty of reproducing this bug and tracing it down to
anything that even remotely resembles a cause, even if people are
being affected we aren't likely to see many meaningful bug reports, and
the people who see this bug aren't likely to be able to reproduce this
bug in a timely fashion. So it is best to get this problem fixed
as soon as we can so people don't have problems.
Then if people do have a kernel message stating "No irq for vector" we
will know it is yet another novel cause that needs a complete new
investigation.
