2009-04-14gro: Restore correct value to gso_sizeHerbert Xu
Since everybody has been focusing on baremetal GRO performance no one noticed when I added a bug that zapped gso_size for all GRO packets. This only gets picked up when you forward the skb out of an interface. Thanks to Mark Wagner for noticing this bug when testing kvm.

2009-04-14ipv6:remove useless checkYang Hongyang
After switch (rthdr->type) {...},the check below is completely useless.Because: if the type is 2,then hdrlen must be 2 and segments_left must be 1,clearly the check is redundant;if the type is not 2,then goto sticky_done,the check is useless too.

2009-04-14tun: Fix crash with non-GSO usersHerbert Xu
When I made the tun driver use non-linear packets as the preferred option, it broke non-GSO users because they would end up allocating a completely non-linear packet, which triggers a crash when we call eth_type_trans. This patch reverts non-GSO users to using linear packets and adds a check to ensure that GSO users can't cause crashes in the same way.

2009-04-13netsched: Allow meta match on vlan tag on receiveStephen Hemminger
When vlan acceleration is used on receive, the vlan tag is maintained outside of the skb data. The existing vlan tag match only works on TX path because it uses vlan_get_tag which tests for VLAN_HW_TX_ACCEL. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-04-13gro: Normalise skb before bypassing GRO on netpoll VLAN pathHerbert Xu
Hi: gro: Normalise skb before bypassing GRO on netpoll VLAN path When we detect netpoll RX on the GRO VLAN path we bail out and call the normal VLAN receive handler. However, the packet needs to be normalised by calling eth_type_trans since that's what the normal path expects (normally the GRO path does the fixup). This patch adds the necessary call to vlan_gro_frags. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Thanks, Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2009-04-13phylib: Allow early-out in phy_changeAnatolij Gustschin
Marvell 88E1121R Dual PHY device can be hardware-configured to use shared interrupt pin for both PHY ports. For such PHY configurations using shared PHY interrupt phy_interrupt() handler will also schedule a work for PHY port which didn't cause an interrupt. This patch adds a possibility for PHY drivers to provide did_interrupt() function which reports if the PHY (or a PHY port in a multi-PHY device) generated an interrupt. This function is called in phy_change() as phy_change() shouldn't proceed if it is invoked for a PHY which didn't cause an interrupt. So check for interrupt originator in phy_change() to allow early-out. Signed-off-by: Anatolij Gustschin <agust@denx.de> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2009-04-13PM/Hibernate: Wait for SCSI devices scan to complete during resumeRafael J. Wysocki
There is a race between resume from hibernation and the asynchronous scanning of SCSI devices and to prevent it from happening we need to call scsi_complete_async_scans() during resume from hibernation. In addition, if the resume from hibernation is userland-driven, it's better to wait for all device probes in the kernel to complete before attempting to open the resume device.

2009-04-13add some long-missing capabilities to fs_maskSerge E. Hallyn
When POSIX capabilities were introduced during the 2.1 Linux cycle, the fs mask, which represents the capabilities which having fsuid==0 is supposed to grant, did not include CAP_MKNOD and CAP_LINUX_IMMUTABLE. However, before capabilities the privilege to call these did in fact depend upon fsuid==0. This patch introduces those capabilities into the fsmask, restoring the old behavior. See the thread starting at http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/3/11/157 for reference. Note that if this fix is deemed valid, then earlier kernel versions (2.4 and 2.2) ought to be fixed too.

Instead of just setting the array entry to zero, we now copy any additional entries down one slot, putting the zero entry at the end. With this change we can now have all the loops that walk the array stop when they hit a zero since there will be no addresses after it.

2009-04-12lockdep: continue lock debugging despite some taintsFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: broaden lockdep checks Lockdep is disabled after any kernel taints. This might be convenient to ignore bad locking issues which sources come from outside the kernel tree. Nevertheless, it might be a frustrating experience for the staging developers or those who experience a warning but are focused on another things that require lockdep. The v2 of this patch simply don't disable anymore lockdep in case of TAINT_CRAP and TAINT_WARN events.

2009-04-12lockdep: warn about lockdep disabling after kernel taintFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: provide useful missing info for developers Kernel taint can occur in several situations such as warnings, load of prorietary or staging modules, bad page, etc... But when such taint happens, a developer might still be working on the kernel, expecting that lockdep is still enabled. But a taint disables lockdep without ever warning about it. Such a kernel behaviour doesn't really help for kernel development. This patch adds this missing warning. Since the taint is done most of the time after the main message that explain the real source issue, it seems safe to warn about it inside add_taint() so that it appears at last, without hurting the main information. v2: Use a generic helper to disable lockdep instead of an open coded xchg().
