[NETFILTER]: ulog: fix panic on SMP kernels

Fix kernel panic on various SMP machines. The culprit is a null
ub->skb in ulog_send(). If ulog_timer() has already been scheduled on
one CPU and is spinning on the lock, and ipt_ulog_packet() flushes the
queue on another CPU by calling ulog_send() right before it exits,
there will be no skbuff when ulog_timer() acquires the lock and calls
ulog_send(). Cancelling the timer in ulog_send() doesn't help because
it has already been scheduled and is running on the first CPU.

Similar problem exists in ebt_ulog.c and nfnetlink_log.c.

[IPSEC]: Validate properly in xfrm_dst_check()

If dst->obsolete is -1, this is a signal from the
bundle creator that we want the XFRM dst and the
dsts that it references to be validated on every
use.

I misunderstood this intention when I changed
xfrm_dst_check() to always return NULL.

Now, when we purge a dst entry, by running dst_free()
on it.  This will set the dst->obsolete to a positive
integer, and we want to return NULL in that case so
that the socket does a relookup for the route.

Thus, if dst->obsolete<0, let stale_bundle() validate
the state, else always return NULL.

In general, we need to do things more intelligently
here because we flush too much state during rule
changes.  Herbert Xu has some ideas wherein the key
manager gives us some help in this area.  We can also

Replace add_timer() by mod_timer() in dst_run_gc

add_timer(&dst_gc_timer) <--- BUG because timer is in list already.

Found during OpenVZ internal testing.

At first we thought that it is OpenVZ specific as we
added dst_run_gc(0) call in dst_dev_event(),
but as Alexey pointed to me it is possible to trigger
this condition in mainstream kernel.

F.e. timer has fired on CPU2, but the handler was preeempted
by an irq before dst_lock is tried.
Meanwhile, someone on CPU1 adds an entry to gc list and
starts the timer.
If CPU2 was preempted long enough, this timer can expire
simultaneously with resuming timer handler on CPU1, arriving
exactly to the situation described.

Michael Chan [Tue, 8 Aug 2006 04:46:02 +0000 (21:46 -0700)]
[TG3]: Fix tx race condition

Fix a subtle race condition between tg3_start_xmit() and tg3_tx()
discovered by Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>:

CPU0 CPU1
tg3_start_xmit()
if (tx_ring_full) {
tx_lock
tg3_tx()
if (!netif_queue_stopped)
netif_stop_queue()
if (!tx_ring_full)
update_tx_ring
netif_wake_queue()
tx_unlock
}

Even though tx_ring is updated before the if statement in tg3_tx() in
program order, it can be re-ordered by the CPU as shown above.  This
scenario can cause the tx queue to be stopped forever if tg3_tx() has
just freed up the entire tx_ring.  The possibility of this happening
should be very rare though.

The following changes are made:

1. Add memory barrier to fix the above race condition.

2. Eliminate the private tx_lock altogether and rely solely on
netif_tx_lock.  This eliminates one spinlock in tg3_start_xmit()
when the ring is full.

3. Because of 2, use netif_tx_lock in tg3_tx() before calling
netif_wake_queue().

4. Change TX_BUFFS_AVAIL to an inline function with a memory barrier.
Herbert and David suggested using the memory barrier instead of
volatile.

5. Check for the full wake queue condition before getting
netif_tx_lock in tg3_tx().  This reduces the number of unnecessary
spinlocks when the tx ring is full in a steady-state condition.

6. Update version to 3.65.

During OpenVZ stress testing we found that UDP traffic with random src

It was found that for 4GB i686 system (having 1048576 total pages and

we'd report a timeout even though the hardware was now ready.

we don't actually want to be _that_ nice about it.  I see nice
tightly-packed SMBus transactions now, rather than waiting for milliseconds

[PATCH] pnpacpi: reject ACPI_PRODUCER resources

A patch in -mm kernel correct the parsing of "address resources" of pnpacpi.
Before we assumed it was memory only, but it could be also IO.

But this change show an hidden bug : some resources could be producer type
that are not handled by pnp layer.  So we should ignore the producer
resources.

This patch fixes bug 6292 (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6292).
Some devices like PNP0A03 have 0xd00-0xffff and 0x0-0xcf7 as IO producer
resources.

Before correcting "address resources" parsing, it was seen as memory and was
harmless, because nobody tried to reserve this memory range as it should be
IO.

With the correction it become IO resources, and make failed all others device
that want to register IO in this range and use pnp layer (like a ISA sound
card).

The solution is to ignore producer resources

"The function befs_utf2nls (in fs/befs/linuxvfs.c) writes a 0 byte past the
end of a block of memory allocated via kmalloc(), leading to memory
corruption.  This happens only for filenames which are pure ASCII and a
multiple of 4 bytes in length.  [...]

The POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE hint means "the application will use this range of the

this hint to perform drop-behind of that part of the file when the application
gets around to reading or writing it.

However for reasons which aren't obvious (or sane?) I mapped
POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE onto POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED.  ie: it does readahead.

That's daft.  So for now, make POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE a no-op.

This is a non-back-compatible change.  If someone was using POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE
to perform readahead, they lose.  The likelihood is low.

If/when we later implement POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE things will get interesting - to
do it fully we'll need to maintain file offset/length ranges and peform all
sorts of complex tricks, and managing the lifetime of those ranges' data
structures will be interesting..

A sensible implementation would probably ignore the file range and would
simply mark the entire file as needing some form of drop-behind treatment.
