Hugh Dickins 3d124cbba3 fix OOM killing processes wrongly thought MPOL_BIND
I only have CONFIG_NUMA=y for build testing: surprised when trying a memhog
to see lots of other processes killed with "No available memory
(MPOL_BIND)".  memhog is killed correctly once we initialize nodemask in
constrained_alloc().

Taku Izumi fdc30b3d44 Fix possible NULL pointer access in 8250 serial driver
I encountered the following kernel panic.  The cause of this problem was
NULL pointer access in check_modem_status() in 8250.c.  I confirmed this
problem is fixed by the attached patch, but I don't know this is the
correct fix.

Fix the possible NULL pointer access in check_modem_status() in 8250.c.  The
check_modem_status() would access 'info' member of uart_port structure, but it
is not initialized before uart_open() is called.  The check_modem_status() can
be called through /proc/tty/driver/serial before uart_open() is called.

Andi Kleen 9ce883becb [PATCH] x86: Remove noreplacement option
noreplacement is dangerous on modern systems because it will not replace the
context switch FNSAVE with SSE aware FXSAVE. But other places in the kernel still assume
SSE and do FXSAVE and the CPU will then access FXSAVE information with
FNSAVE and cause corruption.

Easiest way to avoid this is to remove the option. It was mostly for paranoia
reasons anyways and alternative()s have been stable for some time.

Thanks to Jeremy F. for reporting and helping debug it.

Patrick McHardy 05d224468a [XFRM]: beet: fix pseudo header length value
draft-nikander-esp-beet-mode-07.txt is not entirely clear on how the length
value of the pseudo header should be calculated, it states "The Header Length
field contains the length of the pseudo header, IPv4 options, and padding in
8 octets units.", but also states "Length in octets (Header Len + 1) * 8".
draft-nikander-esp-beet-mode-08-pre1.txt [1] clarifies this, the header length
should not include the first 8 byte.

This change affects backwards compatibility, but option encapsulation didn't
work until very recently anyway.

Trond Myklebust 241c39b9ac RPC: Fix the TCP resend semantics for NFSv4
Fix a regression due to the patch "NFS: disconnect before retrying NFSv4
requests over TCP"

The assumption made in xprt_transmit() that the condition
	"req->rq_bytes_sent == 0 and request is on the receive list"
should imply that we're dealing with a retransmission is false.
Firstly, it may simply happen that the socket send queue was full
at the time the request was initially sent through xprt_transmit().
Secondly, doing this for each request that was retransmitted implies
that we disconnect and reconnect for _every_ request that happened to
be retransmitted irrespective of whether or not a disconnection has
already occurred.

Fix is to move this logic into the call_status request timeout handler.

Jens Axboe a993800655 cfq-iosched: fix sequential write regression
We have a 10-15% performance regression for sequential writes on TCQ/NCQ
enabled drives in 2.6.21-rcX after the CFQ update went in.  It has been
reported by Valerie Clement <valerie.clement@bull.net> and the Intel
testing folks.  The regression is because of CFQ's now more aggressive
queue control, limiting the depth available to the device.

This patches fixes that regression by allowing a greater depth when only
one queue is busy.  It has been tested to not impact sync-vs-async
workloads too much - we still do a lot better than 2.6.20.

Dave Johnson 1d464c26b5 [MIPS] Fix wrong checksum for split TCP packets on 64-bit MIPS
I've traced down an off-by-one TCP checksum calculation error under
the following conditions:

1) The TCP code needs to split a full-sized packet due to a reduced
   MSS (typically due to the addition of TCP options mid-stream like
   SACK).
   _AND_
2) The checksum of the 2nd fragment is larger than the checksum of the
   original packet.  After subtraction this results in a checksum for
   the 1st fragment with bits 16..31 set to 1. (this is ok)
   _AND_
3) The checksum of the 1st fragment's TCP header plus the previously
   32bit checksum of the 1st fragment DOES NOT cause a 32bit overflow
   when added together.  This results in a checksum of the TCP header
   plus TCP data that still has the upper 16 bits as 1's.
   _THEN_
4) The TCP+data checksum is added to the checksum of the pseudo IP
   header with csum_tcpudp_nofold() incorrectly (the bug).
    
The problem is the checksum of the TCP+data is passed to
csum_tcpudp_nofold() as an 32bit unsigned value, however the assembly
code acts on it as if it is a 64bit unsigned value.

This causes an incorrect 32->64bit extension if the sum has bit 31
set.  The resulting checksum is off by one.
    
This problems is data and TCP header dependent due to #2 and #3
above so it doesn't occur on every TCP packet split.

linked to lockups of the e1000 hardware, see for example

	https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=229603

but it's likely that the commit itself is not really introducing the
bug, but just allowing an unrelated problem to rear its ugly head (ie
one current working theory is that the code exposes us to a hardware
race condition by decreasing the amount of time we spend in each NAPI
poll cycle).

We'll revert it until root cause is known.  Intel has a repeatable
reproduction on two different machines and bus traces of the hardware
doing something bad.

Paul Mackerras 7c5050e3e4 [PPP]: Fix skbuff.c:BUG due incorrect logic in process_input_packet()
From: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

This fixes:

Subject: kernel BUG at net/core/skbuff.c in linux-2.6.21-rc6

process_input_packet() treats the case where the first byte is 0xff
(PPP_ALLSTATIONS) but the second byte is 0x03 (PPP_UI) as indicating a
packet with a PPP protocol number of 0xff.  Arguably that's wrong
since PPP protocol 0xff is reserved, and the RFC does envision the
possibility of receiving frames where the control field has values
other than 0x03.

Stephen Hemminger b628ed986d sky2: EC-U performance and jumbo support
The Yukon EC Ultra chips have transmit settings for store and
forward and PCI buffering. By setting these appropriately, normal
performance goes from 750Mbytes/sec to 940Mbytes/sec (non-jumbo).

It is also possible to do Jumbo mode, but it means turning off
TSO and checksum offload so the performance gets worse. There isn't
enough buffering for checksum offload to work.

There should never be descriptor error unless hardware or driver is buggy.
But if an error occurs, print useful information, clear irq, and recover.

This device is having all sorts of problems that lead to data corruption
and system instability.  It gets receive status and data out of order,
it generates descriptor and TSO errors, etc.

Until the problems are resolved, it should not be used by anyone
who cares about there system.

Linas Vepstas 33bdeec806 spidernet: Fix problem sending IP fragments
The basic structure of "normal" UDP/IP/Ethernet
frames (that actually work):
 - It starts with the Ethernet header (dest MAC, src MAC, etc.)
 - The next part is occupied by the IP header (version info, length of
packet, id=0, fragment offset=0, checksum, from / to address, etc.)
 - Then comes the UDP header (src / dest port, length, checksum)
 - Actual payload
 - Ethernet checksum

Now what's different for IP fragment:
 - The IP header has id set to some value (same for all fragments),
offset is set appropriately (i.e. 0 for first fragment, following
according to size of other fragments), size is the length of the frame.
 - UDP header is unchanged. I.e. length is according to full UDP
datagram, not just the part within the actual frame! But this is only
true within the first frame: all following frames don't have a valid
UDP-header at all.

The spidernet silicon seems to be quite intelligent: It's able to
compute (IP / UDP / Ethernet) checksums on the fly and tests if frames
are conforming to RFC -- at least conforming to RFC on complete frames.

But IP fragments are different as explained above:
I.e. for IP fragments containing part of a UDP datagram it sees
incompatible length in the headers for IP and UDP in the first frame
and, thus, skips this frame. But the content *is* correct for IP
fragments. For all following frames it finds (most probably) no valid
UDP header at all. But this *is* also correct for IP fragments.

The Linux IP-stack seems to be clever in this point. It expects the
spidernet to calculate the checksum (since the module claims to be able
to do so) and marks the skb's for "normal" frames accordingly
(ip_summed set to CHECKSUM_HW).
But for the IP fragments it does not expect the driver to be capable to
handle the frames appropriately. Thus all checksums are allready
computed. This is also flaged within the skb (ip_summed set to
CHECKSUM_NONE).

Unfortunately the spidernet driver ignores that hints. It tries to send
the IP fragments of UDP datagrams as normal UDP/IP frames. Since they
have different structure the silicon detects them the be not
"well-formed" and skips them.

The following one-liner against 2.6.21-rc2 changes this behavior. If the
IP-stack claims to have done the checksumming, the driver should not
try to checksum (and analyze) the frame but send it as is.
