2ad41065d9 [TCP]: Clear stale pred_flags when snd_wnd changes
This bug is responsible for causing the infamous "Treason uncloaked"
messages that's been popping up everywhere since the printk was added.
It has usually been blamed on foreign operating systems.  However,
some of those reports implicate Linux as both systems are running
Linux or the TCP connection is going across the loopback interface.

In fact, there really is a bug in the Linux TCP header prediction code
that's been there since at least 2.1.8.  This bug was tracked down with
help from Dale Blount.

The effect of this bug ranges from harmless "Treason uncloaked"
messages to hung/aborted TCP connections.  The details of the bug
and fix is as follows.

When snd_wnd is updated, we only update pred_flags if
tcp_fast_path_check succeeds.  When it fails (for example,
when our rcvbuf is used up), we will leave pred_flags with
an out-of-date snd_wnd value.

When the out-of-date pred_flags happens to match the next incoming
packet we will again hit the fast path and use the current snd_wnd
which will be wrong.

In the case of the treason messages, it just happens that the snd_wnd
cached in pred_flags is zero while tp->snd_wnd is non-zero.  Therefore
when a zero-window packet comes in we incorrectly conclude that the
window is non-zero.

In fact if the peer continues to send us zero-window pure ACKs we
will continue making the same mistake.  It's only when the peer
transmits a zero-window packet with data attached that we get a
chance to snap out of it.  This is what triggers the treason
message at the next retransmit timeout.

7a4ed937aa [PATCH] Fix cpu timers expiration time
There's a silly off-by-one error in the code that updates the expiration
of posix CPU timers, causing them to not be properly updated when they
hit exactly on their expiration time (which should be the normal case).

This causes them to then fire immediately again, and only _then_ get
properly updated.

94c1d31845 [PATCH] Fix HFS+ to free up the space when a file is deleted.
fsck_hfs reveals lots of temporary files accumulating in the hidden
directory "\000\000\000HFS+ Private Data".  According to the HFS+
documentation these are files which are unlinked while in use.  However,
there may be a bug in the Linux hfsplus implementation which causes this to
happen even when the files are not in use.  It looks like the "opencnt"
field is never initialized as (I think) it should be in hfsplus_read_inode.
 This means that a file can appear to be still in use when in fact it has
been closed.  This patch seems to fix it for me.

35848e048f [PATCH] kill massive wireless-related log spam
Although this message is having the intended effect of causing wireless
driver maintainers to upgrade their code, I never should have merged this
patch in its present form.  Leading to tons of bug reports and unhappy
users.

Some wireless apps poll for statistics regularly, which leads to a printk()
every single time they ask for stats.  That's a little bit _too_ much of a
reminder that the driver is using an old API.

Change this to printing out the message once, per kernel boot.

7edc24c4d1 [ARM] 3032/1: sparse: complains about generic_fls() prototype in asm-arm/bitops.h
Patch from Ian Campbell

Sparse complains about the definition of generic_fls in asm-arm/bitops.h:
  CHECK   /home/icampbell/devel/kernel/2.6/arch/arm/mach-pxa/viper.c
include2/asm/bitops.h:350:34: error: marked inline, but without a definition

The definition is unnecessary since linux/bitops.h defines generic_fls before including asm/bitops.h and asm/bitops.h should not be included directly. There are still some places where asm/bitops.h is directly included, but I think that code should be fixed. I was a little wary of the patch for this reason but lubbock, mainstone and assabet all build OK and so do my in house boards...

ARM is the only arch with the generic_fls prototype in this way.

yet, qla2x00_free_device() tries to stop a kernel thread which hasn't started

and the kernel hangs up.

a69ac4a78d [PATCH] posix-timers: fix posix_cpu_timer_set() vs run_posix_cpu_timers() race
This might be harmless, but looks like a race from code inspection (I
was unable to trigger it).  I must admit, I don't understand why we
can't return TIMER_RETRY after 'spin_unlock(&p->sighand->siglock)'
without doing bump_cpu_timer(), but this is what original code does.

posix_cpu_timer_set:

	read_lock(&tasklist_lock);

	spin_lock(&p->sighand->siglock);
	list_del_init(&timer->it.cpu.entry);
	spin_unlock(&p->sighand->siglock);

We are probaly deleting the timer from run_posix_cpu_timers's 'firing'
local list_head while run_posix_cpu_timers() does list_for_each_safe.

Various bad things can happen, for example we can just delete this timer
so that list_for_each() will not notice it and run_posix_cpu_timers()
will not reset '->firing' flag. In that case,

	....

	if (timer->it.cpu.firing) {
		read_unlock(&tasklist_lock);
		timer->it.cpu.firing = -1;
		return TIMER_RETRY;
	}

sys_timer_settime() goes to 'retry:', calls posix_cpu_timer_set() again,
it returns TIMER_RETRY ...

		put_task_struct(timer->task)

   is racy. With this patch timer->task modified and accounted only under
   timer->it_lock. Sadly, this means that dead task_struct won't be freed
   until timer deleted or armed.

2. run_posix_cpu_timers() collects expired timers into local list under
   tasklist + ->sighand again. That means that posix_cpu_timer_del()
   should check timer->it.cpu.firing under these locks too.

IDR trees include a cache of idr_layer objects.  There's no way to destroy

memory.

Add and use idr_destroy() for this.  v9fs and infiniband also need to use
idr_destroy() to avoid leaks.

Or, we make the cache global, like radix_tree_preload().  Which is probably
better.  Later.

applied to saa7134-dvb instead of cx88-dvb.

On 2005-06-24, Adrian bunk fixed cx88-dvb:

 [PATCH] VIDEO_CX88_DVB must select DVB_CX22702
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=d6988588e13616587aa879c2e0bd7cd811705e5d

...but we never removed the original patch from Gerd.

This patch sets things straight:

saa7134-dvb should not select cx22702

20c19e4179 [PATCH] SELinux: handle sel_make_bools() failure in selinuxfs
This patch fixes error handling in sel_make_bools(), where currently we'd
get a memory leak via security_get_bools() and try to kfree() the wrong
pointer if called again.

This patch fixes a possible NULL dereference in policydb_destroy, where
p->type_attr_map can be NULL if policydb_destroy is called to clean up a
partially loaded policy upon an error during policy load.  Please apply.

8766ce4101 [PATCH] aio syscalls are not checked by lsm
Another case of missing call to security_file_permission: aio functions
(namely, io_submit) does not check credentials with security modules.

Below is the simple patch to the problem.  It seems that it is enough to
check for rights at the request submission time.

4196c3af25 cardbus: limit IO windows to 256 bytes
That's what we've always historically done, and bigger windows seem to
confuse some cardbus bridges. Or something.

Alan reports that this makes the ThinkPad 600x series work properly
again: the 4kB IO window for some reason made IDE DMA not work, which
makes IDE painfully slow even if it works after DMA timeouts.

e80eda94d3 Posix timers: limit number of timers firing at once
Bursty timers aren't good for anybody, very much including latency for
other programs when we trigger lots of timers in interrupt context.  So
set a random limit, after which we'll handle the rest on the next timer
tick.

49636bb128 [NEIGH] Fix timer leak in neigh_changeaddr
neigh_changeaddr attempts to delete neighbour timers without setting
nud_state.  This doesn't work because the timer may have already fired
when we acquire the write lock in neigh_changeaddr.  The result is that
the timer may keep firing for quite a while until the entry reaches
NEIGH_FAILED.

It should be setting the nud_state straight away so that if the timer
has already fired it can simply exit once we relinquish the lock.

In fact, this whole function is simply duplicating the logic in
neigh_ifdown which in turn is already doing the right thing when
it comes to deleting timers and setting nud_state.

So all we have to do is take that code out and put it into a common
function and make both neigh_changeaddr and neigh_ifdown call it.
