Bernd Schmidt points out that binfmt_flat is now leaving the exec file open
while the application runs. This offsets all the application's fd numbers.
We should have closed the file within exec(), not at exit()-time.
But there doesn't seem to be a lot of point in doing all this just to avoid
going over RLIMIT_NOFILE by one fd for a few microseconds. So take the EMFILE
checking out again. This will cause binfmt_flat to again fail LTP's
exec-should-return-EMFILE-when-fdtable-is-full test. That test appears to be
wrong anyway - Open Group specs say nothing about exec() returning EMFILE.

Address a problem found when a Linux NFS server uses the "subtree_check"
export option.
The "subtree_check" NFS export option was designed to prohibit a client
from using a file handle for which it should not have permission. The
algorithm used is to ensure that the entire path to the file being
referenced is accessible to the user attempting to use the file handle. If
some part of the path is not accessible, then the operation is aborted and
the appropriate version of ESTALE is returned to the NFS client.
The error, ESTALE, is unfortunate in that it causes NFS clients to make
certain assumptions about the continued existence of the file. They assume
that the file no longer exists and refuse to attempt to access it again.
In this case, the file really does exist, but access was denied by the
server for a particular user.
A better error to return would be an EACCES sort of error. This would
inform the client that the particular operation that it was attempting was
not allowed, without the nasty side effects of the ESTALE error.

It looks like the generic ide code now wants ide_init_hwif_ports() to set
the parent struct device into the ide_hw structure (new field ?). Without
this, the mac ide code can cause the ide probing code to explode in flames

There has been a longstanding problem with the Matrox G450 and perhaps
other similar cards, with modes "above" 1280x1024-60 on ppc/ppc64 boxes
running Linux. Higher resolutions and/or higher refresh rates resulted in
a very noticably "jittery" display, and sometimes no display, depending on
the physical monitor. This patch fixes that problem on the systems I have
easy access to...
I've tested with SLES9SP3 (2.6.5+ kernel) and 2.6.16-rc6 custom kernels on
an IBM eServer p5 520 w/G450 (a.k.a GXT135P on IBM's ppc64 systems), and a
colleague of mine (Ian Romanick) tested it successfully on an Apple ppc32
box (w/GXT135P). I also tested it on IA32 box I have with a GXT135P to
verify that it didn't obviously break anything. In my testing, I covered
single-card, single and dual-head setups using both HD15 and DVI-D signals,
on both the IA32 and ppc64 boxes. While everything appeared fine on both
boxes, I did encounter one problem: I can't get any signal on the DVI-D
output on the ppc64 box. However, this is also the case without my patch.
I just noticed that screen-blanking only occurs on the primary display as
well.

Functions compat_nfs_svc_trans, compat_nfs_clnt_trans,
compat_nfs_exp_trans, compat_nfs_getfd_trans and compat_nfs_getfs_trans,
which are called by compat_sys_nfsservctl(fs/compat.c), don't handle the
return value of access_ok properly. access_ok return 1 when the addr is
valid, and 0 when it's not, but these functions have the reversed
understanding. When the address is valid, they always return -EFAULT to
compat_sys_nfsservctl.
An example is to run /usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd(32bit program on Power5). It
doesn't function as expected. strace showes that nfsservctl returns
-EFAULT.
The patch fixes this by correcting the error handling on the return value
of access_ok in the five functions.

The driver currently keeps local copies of the hardware request/response queue indexes.
But it expends significant effort ensuring consistency between the two views,
and still gets it wrong after an error or reset occurs.
This patch removes the local copies, in favour of just accessing the hardware
whenever we need them. Eventually this may need to be tweaked again for NCQ,
but for now this works and solves problems some users were seeing.

The 60xx chips, and possibly others, incorrectly assert DEV_IRQ interrupts
on a regular basis. The cause of this is under investigation (by me and
in theory by Marvell also), but regardless we do need to deal with these events.
This patch tidies up some interrupt handler code, and ensures that we ignore
DEV_IRQ interrupts when the drive still has ATA_BUSY asserted.

The interface control register of the 60xx (and later) Marvell chip
requires certain bits to always be set when writing to it. These bits
incorrectly read-back as zeros, so the pattern must be ORed in
with each write of the register. Also, bit 12 should NOT be set
(note that Marvell's own driver also had bit-12 wrong here).
While we're at it, we also now do pci_set_master() in the init code.

The mv_err_intr() function is invoked from the driver's interrupt handler,
as well as from the timeout function. This patch prevents it from triggering
a one-after-the-other double reset of the controller when invoked
from the timeout function.
This also adds a check for a timeout race condition that has been observed
to occur with this driver in earlier kernels. This should not be needed,
in theory, but in practice it has caught bugs. Maybe nuke it at a later date.

If both ports are receiving on the SysKonnect dual port cards,
then it appears the bus interface unit can give an interrupt status
for frame before DMA has completed. This leads to bogus frames
and general confusion. This is why receive checksumming is also
messed up on dual port cards.
A workaround for the out of order receive problem is to eliminating
split transactions on PCI-X.
This version is based of the current linux-2.6.git including earlier
patch to disable dual ports.

sctp_rcv().
The goal is to hold the ref on the association/endpoint throughout the
state-machine process. We accomplish like this:
/* ref on the assoc/ep is taken during lookup */
if owned_by_user(sk)
sctp_add_backlog(skb, sk);
else
inqueue_push(skb, sk);
/* drop the ref on the assoc/ep */
However, in sctp_add_backlog() we take the ref on assoc/ep and hold it
while the skb is on the backlog queue. This allows us to get rid of the
sock_hold/sock_put in the lookup routines.
Now sctp_backlog_rcv() needs to account for potential association move.
In the unlikely event that association moved, we need to retest if the
new socket is locked by user. If we don't this, we may have two packets
racing up the stack toward the same socket and we can't deal with it.
If the new socket is still locked, we'll just add the skb to its backlog
continuing to hold the ref on the association. This get's rid of the
need to move packets from one backlog to another and it also safe in
case new packets arrive on the same backlog queue.
The last step, is to lock the new socket when we are moving the
association to it. This is needed in case any new packets arrive on
the association when it moved. We want these to go to the backlog since
we would like to avoid the race between this new packet and a packet
that may be sitting on the backlog queue of the old socket toward the
same association.

(CVE-2006-0039)
Solar Designer found a race condition in do_add_counters(). The beginning
of paddc is supposed to be the same as tmp which was sanity-checked
above, but it might not be the same in reality. In case the integer
overflow and/or the race condition are triggered, paddc->num_counters
might not match the allocation size for paddc. If the check below
(t->private->number != paddc->num_counters) nevertheless passes (perhaps
this requires the race condition to be triggered), IPT_ENTRY_ITERATE()
would read kernel memory beyond the allocation size, potentially causing
an oops or leaking sensitive data (e.g., passwords from host system or
from another VPS) via counter increments. This requires CAP_NET_ADMIN.
