2008-08-27forcedeth: fix checksum flagAyaz Abdulla
Fix the checksum feature advertised in device flags. The hardware support TCP/UDP over IPv4 and TCP/UDP over IPv6 (without IPv6 extension headers). However, the kernel feature flags do not distinguish IPv6 with/without extension headers. Therefore, the driver needs to use NETIF_F_IP_CSUM instead of NETIF_F_HW_CSUM since the latter includes all IPv6 packets. A future patch can be created to check for extension headers and perform software checksum calculation.

2008-08-27ibmveth: fix bad UDP checksumsSantiago Leon
This patch fixes a ibmveth bug where bad UDP checksums are being transmitted when checksum offloading is enabled. The hypervisor does checksum offloading only on TCP packets, so ibmveth calls skb_checksum_help() for any other protocol. The bug happens because the packet is being modified after the DMA map, so we would need a memory barrier before making the hypervisor call. Reordering the code so that the DMA map happens after skb_checksum_help() has the additional advantage of fixing a DMA map leak if skb_checksum_help() where to fail.

2008-08-27block: move cmdfilter from gendisk to request_queueFUJITA Tomonori
cmd_filter works only for the block layer SG_IO with SCSI block devices. It breaks scsi/sg.c, bsg, and the block layer SG_IO with SCSI character devices (such as st). We hit a kernel crash with them. The problem is that cmd_filter code accesses to gendisk (having struct blk_scsi_cmd_filter) via inode->i_bdev->bd_disk. It works for only SCSI block device files. With character device files, inode->i_bdev leads you to struct cdev. inode->i_bdev->bd_disk->blk_scsi_cmd_filter isn't safe. SCSI ULDs don't expose gendisk; they keep it private. bsg needs to be independent on any protocols. We shouldn't change ULDs to expose their gendisk. This patch moves struct blk_scsi_cmd_filter from gendisk to request_queue, a common object, which eveyone can access to. The user interface doesn't change; users can change the filters via /sys/block/. gendisk has a pointer to request_queue so the cmd_filter code accesses to struct blk_scsi_cmd_filter.

This makes the list_del_rcu() in zap_class() oops later when the module is unloaded. This patch fixes the problem by assigning entry->class after save_trace() returns success.
