2007-02-02Revert "[PATCH] fix typo in geode_configre()@cyrix.c"Linus Torvalds
This reverts commit e4f0ae0ea63caceff37a13f281a72652b7ea71ba. It's not wrong, but it's not right either, and everybody seems to agree that the right fix is probably to do the ccr3 write after the ccr4 one (and that we also should clean it up a bit). And after that we need to really validate that all the bits that we write to ccr4 actually do work. The old 2.6.19 code was insane, and basically didn't change ccr4 at all (even though it certainly looks like it was the *intent* to do so). So let's revert the change that may fix things, just because it's not what was actually ever tested when the code was written, even if it _was_ the intent. There's a discussion on http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/1/9/63 that was started by the patch that now gets reverted, and that discussion may well contain the proper long-term fix.

2007-02-02[NET_SCHED]: act_ipt: fix regression in ipt actionPatrick McHardy
The x_tables patch broke target module autoloading in the ipt action by replacing the ipt_find_target call (which does autoloading) by xt_find_target (which doesn't do autoloading). Additionally xt_find_target may return ERR_PTR values in case of an error, which are not handled. Use xt_request_find_target, which does both autoloading and ERR_PTR handling properly. Also don't forget to drop the target module reference again when xt_check_target fails. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

All callers of register_sysrq_key() are now marked in the sysrq op/key table. I didn't mark 'h' as Help because Help is just printed for any unknown key, such as '?'.

2007-02-01[PATCH] __crc_... is intended to be absoluteAl Viro
i386 boot/compressed/relocs checks for absolute symbols and warns about unexpected ones. If you build with modversions, you get ~2500 warnings about __crc_<symbol>. These suckers are really absolute symbols - we do _not_ want to modify them on relocation. They are generated by genksyms - EXPORT_... generates a weak alias, then genksyms produces an ld script with __crc_<symbol> = <checksum> and it's fed to ld to produce the final object file. Their only use is to match kernel and module at modprobe time; they _must_ be absolute. boot/compressed/relocs has a whitelist of known absolute symbols, but it doesn't know about __crc_... stuff. As the result, we get shitloads of false positives on any ld(1) version. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Fix VIA quirks that were recently broken by Alan Cox in the upstream kernel (commit 1597cacbe39802d86656d1f2e6329895bd2ef531).

2007-01-30[IPV6]: fix BUG of ndisc_send_redirect()Li Yewang
When I tested IPv6 redirect function about kernel 2.6.19.1, and found that the kernel can send redirect packets whose target address is global address, and the target is not the actual endpoint of communication. But the criteria conform to RFC2461, the target address defines as following: Target Address An IP address that is a better first hop to use for he ICMP Destination Address. When the target is the actual endpoint of communication, i.e., the destination is a neighbor, the Target Address field MUST contain the same value as the ICMP Destination Address field. Otherwise the target is a better first-hop router and the Target Address MUST be the router's link-local address so that hosts can uniquely identify routers. According to this definition, when a router redirect to a host, the target address either the better first-hop router's link-local address or the same as the ICMP destination address field. But the function of ndisc_send_redirect() in net/ipv6/ndisc.c, does not check the target address correctly. There is another definition about receive Redirect message in RFC2461: 8.1. Validation of Redirect Messages A host MUST silently discard any received Redirect message that does not satisfy all of the following validity checks: ...... - The ICMP Target Address is either a link-local address (when redirected to a router) or the same as the ICMP Destination Address (when redirected to the on-link destination). ...... And the receive redirect function of ndisc_redirect_rcv() implemented this definition, checks the target address correctly. if (ipv6_addr_equal(dest, target)) { on_link = 1; } else if (!(ipv6_addr_type(target) & IPV6_ADDR_LINKLOCAL)) { ND_PRINTK2(KERN_WARNING "ICMPv6 Redirect: target address is not link-local.\n"); return; } So, I think the send redirect function must check the target address also.
