2007-03-02[VLAN]: Avoid a 4-order allocation.Dan Aloni
This patch splits the vlan_group struct into a multi-allocated struct. On x86_64, the size of the original struct is a little more than 32KB, causing a 4-order allocation, which is prune to problems caused by buddy-system external fragmentation conditions. I couldn't just use vmalloc() because vfree() cannot be called in the softirq context of the RCU callback.

2007-03-02[NetLabel]: Verify sensitivity level has a valid CIPSO mappingPaul Moore
The current CIPSO engine has a problem where it does not verify that the given sensitivity level has a valid CIPSO mapping when the "std" CIPSO DOI type is used. The end result is that bad packets are sent on the wire which should have never been sent in the first place. This patch corrects this problem by verifying the sensitivity level mapping similar to what is done with the category mapping. This patch also changes the returned error code in this case to -EPERM to better match what the category mapping verification code returns.

2007-02-28[NET]: Handle disabled preemption in gfp_any()Patrick McHardy
ctnetlink uses netlink_unicast from an atomic_notifier_chain (which is called within a RCU read side critical section) without holding further locks. netlink_unicast calls netlink_trim with the result of gfp_any() for the gfp flags, which are passed down to pskb_expand_header. gfp_any() only checks for softirq context and returns GFP_KERNEL, resulting in this warning: BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/slab.c:3032 in_atomic():1, irqs_disabled():0 no locks held by rmmod/7010.

2007-02-26[XFRM]: Fix oops in xfrm4_dst_destroy()Bernhard Walle
With 2.6.21-rc1, I get an oops when running 'ifdown eth0' and an IPsec connection is active. If I shut down the connection before running 'ifdown eth0', then there's no problem. The critical operation of this script is to kill dhcpd. The problem is probably caused by commit with git identifier 4337226228e1cfc1d70ee975789c6bd070fb597c (Linus tree) "[IPSEC]: IPv4 over IPv6 IPsec tunnel". This patch fixes that oops.

2007-02-26[SCTP]: Strike the transport before updating rto.Vlad Yasevich

2007-02-26[SCTP]: Fix connection hang/slowdown with PR-SCTPVlad Yasevich
The problem that this patch corrects happens when all of the following conditions are satisfisfied: 1. PR-SCTP is used and the timeout on the chunks is set below RTO.Max. 2. One of the paths on a multihomed associations is brought down. In this scenario, data will expire within the rto of the initial transmission and will never be retransmitted. However this data still fills the send buffer and is counted against the association as outstanding data. This causes any new data not to be sent and retransmission to not happen. The fix is to discount the abandoned data from the outstanding count and peers rwnd estimation. This allows new data to be sent and a retransmission timer restarted. Even though this new data will most likely expire within the rto, the timer still counts as a strike against the transport and forces the FORWARD-TSN chunk to be retransmitted as well.

2007-02-20[PATCH] Convert highest_possible_processor_id to nr_cpu_idsChristoph Lameter
We frequently need the maximum number of possible processors in order to allocate arrays for all processors. So far this was done using highest_possible_processor_id(). However, we do need the number of processors not the highest id. Moreover the number was so far dynamically calculated on each invokation. The number of possible processors does not change when the system is running. We can therefore calculate that number once.

2007-02-20[PATCH] Replace highest_possible_node_id() with nr_node_idsChristoph Lameter
highest_possible_node_id() is currently used to calculate the last possible node idso that the network subsystem can figure out how to size per node arrays. I think having the ability to determine the maximum amount of nodes in a system at runtime is useful but then we should name this entry correspondingly, it should return the number of node_ids, and the the value needs to be setup only once on bootup. The node_possible_map does not change after bootup. This patch introduces nr_node_ids and replaces the use of highest_possible_node_id(). nr_node_ids is calculated on bootup when the page allocators pagesets are initialized.

2007-02-14[PATCH] ieee80211softmac: Fix setting of initial transmit ratesLarry Finger
There is a bug in ieee80211softmac that always sets the user rate to 11Mbs, no matter the capabilities of the device. This bug was probably beneficial as long as the bcm43xx cards were rate limited; however, most are now capable of relatively high speeds. This patch fixes that bug and eliminates an assert that is no longer needed. Once the cards are capable of full OFDM speeds, the 24 Mbs rate will be changed to 54 Mbs.

2007-02-14[PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctlEric W. Biederman
The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name. Which is pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented. I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register duplicate sysctl entries. So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future enhancments harder. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
