skge napi->poll() locking bug
According to: Documentation/networking/netdevices.txt:
<cite>
napi->poll:

napi->poll() could be called either with interrupts enabled
(in softirq context) or disabled (by netconsole), so the irq flag
should be preserved.

cxgb3: Fix lockdep problems with sge.reg_lock
Using iWARP with a Chelsio T3 NIC generates the following lockdep warning:
=================================
[ INFO: inconsistent lock state ]
2.6.25-rc6 #50
---------------------------------
inconsistent {softirq-on-W} -> {in-softirq-W} usage.
swapper/0 [HC0[0]:SC1[1]:HE0:SE0] takes:
(&adap->sge.reg_lock){-+..}, at: [<
ffffffff880e5ee2>] cxgb_offload_ctl+0x3af/0x507 [cxgb3]
The problem is that reg_lock is used with plain spin_lock() in
drivers/net/cxgb3/sge.c but is used with spin_lock_irqsave() in
drivers/net/cxgb3/cxgb3_offload.c. This is technically a false
positive, since the uses in sge.c are only in the initialization and
cleanup paths and cannot overlap with any use in interrupt context.
The best fix is probably just to use spin_lock_irq() with reg_lock in
sge.c. Even though it's not strictly required for correctness, it
avoids triggering lockdep and the extra overhead of disabling
interrupts is not important at all in the initialization and cleanup
slow paths.

[NEIGH]: Fix race between pneigh deletion and ipv6's ndisc_recv_ns (v3).
Proxy neighbors do not have any reference counting, so any caller
of pneigh_lookup (unless it's a netlink triggered add/del routine)
should _not_ perform any actions on the found proxy entry.
There's one exception from this rule - the ipv6's ndisc_recv_ns()
uses found entry to check the flags for NTF_ROUTER.
This creates a race between the ndisc and pneigh_delete - after
the pneigh is returned to the caller, the nd_tbl.lock is dropped
and the deleting procedure may proceed.
One of the fixes would be to add a reference counting, but this
problem exists for ndisc only. Besides such a patch would be too
big for -rc4.
So I propose to introduce a __pneigh_lookup() which is supposed
to be called with the lock held and use it in ndisc code to check
the flags on alive pneigh entry.
Changes from v2:
As David noticed, Exported the __pneigh_lookup() to ipv6 module.
The checkpatch generates a warning on it, since the EXPORT_SYMBOL
does not follow the symbol itself, but in this file all the
exports come at the end, so I decided no to break this harmony.
Changes from v1:
Fixed comments from YOSHIFUJI - indentation of prototype in header
and the pndisc_check_router() name - and a compilation fix, pointed
by Daniel - the is_routed was (falsely) considered as uninitialized
by gcc.

[TCP]: Let skbs grow over a page on fast peers
While testing the virtio-net driver on KVM with TSO I noticed
that TSO performance with a 1500 MTU is significantly worse
compared to the performance of non-TSO with a 16436 MTU. The
packet dump shows that most of the packets sent are smaller
than a page.
Looking at the code this actually is quite obvious as it always
stop extending the packet if it's the first packet yet to be
sent and if it's larger than the MSS. Since each extension is
bound by the page size, this means that (given a 1500 MTU) we're
very unlikely to construct packets greater than a page, provided
that the receiver and the path is fast enough so that packets can
always be sent immediately.
The fix is also quite obvious. The push calls inside the loop
is just an optimisation so that we don't end up doing all the
sending at the end of the loop. Therefore there is no specific
reason why it has to do so at MSS boundaries. For TSO, the
most natural extension of this optimisation is to do the pushing
once the skb exceeds the TSO size goal.
This is what the patch does and testing with KVM shows that the
TSO performance with a 1500 MTU easily surpasses that of a 16436
MTU and indeed the packet sizes sent are generally larger than
16436.
I don't see any obvious downsides for slower peers or connections,
but it would be prudent to test this extensively to ensure that
those cases don't regress.

3113575668:
3113577116(1448) ack
3111841425 win 514 <...>
The number 40 results from downscaling the remaining window:
3111907257 -
3111841425 = 65832
65832 / 2^7 = 514
65832 % 2^7 = 40
If the sender uses up the entire window before it is shrunk, this can have
chaotic effects on the connection. When sending ACKs, tcp_acceptable_seq()
will notice that the window has been shrunk since tcp_wnd_end() is before
tp->snd_nxt, which makes it choose tcp_wnd_end() as sequence number.
This will fail the receivers checks in tcp_sequence() however since it
is before it's tp->rcv_wup, making it respond with a dupack.
If both sides are in this condition, this leads to a constant flood of
ACKs until the connection times out.
Make sure the window is never shrunk by aligning the remaining window to
the window scaling factor.

audit: netlink socket can be auto-bound to pid other than current->pid (v2)
From: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org>
This patch is based on the one from Thomas.
The kauditd_thread() calls the netlink_unicast() and passes
the audit_pid to it. The audit_pid, in turn, is received from
the user space and the tool (I've checked the audit v1.6.9)
uses getpid() to pass one in the kernel. Besides, this tool
doesn't bind the netlink socket to this id, but simply creates
it allowing the kernel to auto-bind one.
That's the preamble.
The problem is that netlink_autobind() _does_not_ guarantees
that the socket will be auto-bound to the current pid. Instead
it uses the current pid as a hint to start looking for a free
id. So, in case of conflict, the audit messages can be sent
to a wrong socket. This can happen (it's unlikely, but can be)
in case some task opens more than one netlink sockets and then
the audit one starts - in this case the audit's pid can be busy
and its socket will be bound to another id.
The proposal is to introduce an audit_nlk_pid in audit subsys,
that will point to the netlink socket to send packets to. It
will most often be equal to audit_pid. The socket id can be
got from the skb's netlink CB right in the audit_receive_msg.
The audit_nlk_pid reset to 0 is not required, since all the
decisions are taken based on audit_pid value only.
Later, if the audit tools will bind the socket themselves, the
kernel will have to provide a way to setup the audit_nlk_pid
as well.
A good side effect of this patch is that audit_pid can later
be converted to struct pid, as it is not longer safe to use
pid_t-s in the presence of pid namespaces. But audit code still
uses the tgid from task_struct in the audit_signal_info and in
the audit_filter_syscall.

[SCTP]: Fix a race between module load and protosw access
There is a race is SCTP between the loading of the module
and the access by the socket layer to the protocol functions.
In particular, a list of addresss that SCTP maintains is
not initialized prior to the registration with the protosw.
Thus it is possible for a user application to gain access
to SCTP functions before everything has been initialized.
The problem shows up as odd crashes during connection
initializtion when we try to access the SCTP address list.
The solution is to refactor how we do registration and
initialize the lists prior to registering with the protosw.
Care must be taken since the address list initialization
depends on some other pieces of SCTP initialization. Also
the clean-up in case of failure now also needs to be refactored.

NEWEMAC: fix support for pause packets
Problem Description and Fix
---------------------------
When a pause packet(with destination as reserved Multicast address) is
received by the EMAC hardware to control the flow of frames being
transmitted by it, it is dropped by the hardware unless the reserved
Multicast address is hashed in to the GAHT[1-4] registers. This code fix
adds the default reserved multicast address to the GAHT[1-4] registers
in the EMAC(s) present on the chip. The flow control with Pause packets
will only work if the following register bits are programmed in EMAC:
EMACx_MR1[APP] = 1
EMACx_RMR[BAE] = 1
EMACx_RMR[MAE] = 1
Behavior that may be observed in a running system
-------------------------------------------------
A host transferring data from a PPC based system may send a Pause packet
to the PPC EMAC requesting it to slow down the flow of packets. If the
default reserved multicast MAC address is not programmed into the
GAHT[1-4] registers this Pause packet will be dropped by PPC EMAC and no
Flow Control will be done.

The problem can be triggered with a high amount of host->guest traffic.
I think its the following race:
poll says netif_rx_complete
poll calls enable_cb
enable_cb opens the interrupt mask
a new packet comes, an interrupt is triggered----\
enable_cb sees that there is more work |
enable_cb disables the interrupt |
. V
. interrupt is delivered
. skb_recv_done does atomic napi test, ok
some waiting disable_cb is called->check fails->bang!
.
poll would do napi check
poll would do disable_cb
The fix is to let enable_cb not disable the interrupt again, but expect the
caller to do the cleanup if it returns false. In that case, the interrupt is
only disabled, if the napi test_set_bit was successful.

[PARISC] futex: special case cmpxchg NULL in kernel space
Commit
a0c1e9073ef7428a14309cba010633a6cd6719ea added code to futex.c
to detect whether futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic was implemented at run
time:

+ if (curval == -EFAULT)
+ futex_cmpxchg_enabled = 1;
This is bogus on parisc, since page zero in kernel virtual space is the
gateway page for syscall entry, and should not be read from the kernel.
