2007-02-01[PATCH] __crc_... is intended to be absoluteAl Viro
i386 boot/compressed/relocs checks for absolute symbols and warns about unexpected ones. If you build with modversions, you get ~2500 warnings about __crc_<symbol>. These suckers are really absolute symbols - we do _not_ want to modify them on relocation. They are generated by genksyms - EXPORT_... generates a weak alias, then genksyms produces an ld script with __crc_<symbol> = <checksum> and it's fed to ld to produce the final object file. Their only use is to match kernel and module at modprobe time; they _must_ be absolute. boot/compressed/relocs has a whitelist of known absolute symbols, but it doesn't know about __crc_... stuff. As the result, we get shitloads of false positives on any ld(1) version. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Fix VIA quirks that were recently broken by Alan Cox in the upstream kernel (commit 1597cacbe39802d86656d1f2e6329895bd2ef531). My understanding is that pci_find_present() doesn't work yet at the time the quirks are run. So I used a two-step quirk as is done for some other quirks already. First we detect the VIA south bridges and set the right low and high device limits, then we are ready to actually run the quirks on the affected devices.

2007-01-30[IPV6]: fix BUG of ndisc_send_redirect()Li Yewang
When I tested IPv6 redirect function about kernel 2.6.19.1, and found that the kernel can send redirect packets whose target address is global address, and the target is not the actual endpoint of communication. But the criteria conform to RFC2461, the target address defines as following: Target Address An IP address that is a better first hop to use for he ICMP Destination Address. When the target is the actual endpoint of communication, i.e., the destination is a neighbor, the Target Address field MUST contain the same value as the ICMP Destination Address field. Otherwise the target is a better first-hop router and the Target Address MUST be the router's link-local address so that hosts can uniquely identify routers. According to this definition, when a router redirect to a host, the target address either the better first-hop router's link-local address or the same as the ICMP destination address field. But the function of ndisc_send_redirect() in net/ipv6/ndisc.c, does not check the target address correctly. There is another definition about receive Redirect message in RFC2461: 8.1. Validation of Redirect Messages A host MUST silently discard any received Redirect message that does not satisfy all of the following validity checks: ...... - The ICMP Target Address is either a link-local address (when redirected to a router) or the same as the ICMP Destination Address (when redirected to the on-link destination). ...... And the receive redirect function of ndisc_redirect_rcv() implemented this definition, checks the target address correctly. if (ipv6_addr_equal(dest, target)) { on_link = 1; } else if (!(ipv6_addr_type(target) & IPV6_ADDR_LINKLOCAL)) { ND_PRINTK2(KERN_WARNING "ICMPv6 Redirect: target address is not link-local.\n"); return; } So, I think the send redirect function must check the target address also.

Consider, if we run the loop and we get an error the following happens: 1) attempt of ifb_init_one(i) fails, therefore we should not try to "ifb_free_one()" on "i" since it failed 2) the loop iteration first increments "i", then it check for error Therefore we must decrement "i" twice before the first free during the cleanup. One to "undo" the for() loop increment, and one to "skip" the ifb_init_one() case which failed."

2007-01-30[PATCH] namespaces: fix task exit disasterSerge E. Hallyn
This is based on a patch by Eric W. Biederman, who pointed out that pid namespaces are still fake, and we only have one ever active. So for the time being, we can modify any code which could access tsk->nsproxy->pid_ns during task exit to just use &init_pid_ns instead, and move the exit_task_namespaces call in do_exit() back above exit_notify(), so that an exiting nfs server has a valid tsk->sighand to work with.

2007-01-30[PATCH] i386: In assign_irq_vector look at all vectors before giving upEric W. Biederman
When the world was a simple and static place setting up irqs was easy. It sufficed to allocate a linux irq number and a find a free cpu vector we could receive that linux irq on. In those days it was a safe assumption that any allocated vector was actually in use so after one global pass through all of the vectors we would have none left. These days things are much more dynamic with interrupt controllers (in the form of MSI or MSI-X) appearing on plug in cards and linux irqs appearing and disappearing. As these irqs come and go vectors are allocated and freed, invalidating the ancient assumption that all allocated vectors stayed in use forever. So this patch modifies the vector allocator to walk through every possible vector before giving up, and to check to see if a vector is in use before assigning it. With these changes we stop leaking freed vectors and it becomes possible to allocate and free irq vectors all day long. This changed was modeled after the vector allocator on x86_64 where this limitation has already been removed. In essence we don't update the static variables that hold the position of the last vector we allocated until have successfully allocated another vector. This allows us to detect if we have completed one complete scan through all of the possible vectors. Acked-by: Auke Kok <auke-jan.h.kok@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Eric W.
