The sis900 driver appears to have a bug in which the receive routine
passes the skbuff holding the received frame to the network stack before
refilling the buffer in the rx ring. If a new skbuff cannot be allocated, the
driver simply leaves a hole in the rx ring, which causes the driver to stop
receiving frames and become non-recoverable without an rmmod/insmod according to
reporters. This patch reverses that order, attempting to allocate a replacement
buffer first, and receiving the new frame only if one can be allocated. If no
skbuff can be allocated, the current skbuf in the rx ring is recycled, dropping
the current frame, but keeping the NIC operational.

The following patch fixes a kernel bug in depca_platform_probe().
We don't use a dynamic pointer for pldev->dev.platform_data, so it seems
that the correct way to proceed if platform_device_add(pldev) fails is
to explicitly set the pldev->dev.platform_data pointer to NULL, before
calling the platform_device_put(pldev), or it will be kfree'ed by
platform_device_release().

serial8250_interrupt()
Commit 40b36daa introduced possibility that serial8250_backup_timeout() ->
serial8250_handle_port() locks port.lock without disabling irqs, thus
allowing deadlock against interrupt handler (port.lock is acquired in
serial8250_interrupt()).
Spotted by lockdep.

The listxattr() and getxattr() operations are only protected by a read
lock. As a result, if either of these operations run in parallel, a race
condition exists where the xattr_root will end up being cached twice, which
results in the leaking of a reference and a BUG() on umount.
This patch refactors get_xa_root(), __get_xa_root(), and create_xa_root(),
into one get_xa_root() function that takes the appropriate locking around
the entire critical section.

v9fs_insert uses v9fs_fid_lookup (which also locks the fid) to get the
primary fid associated with the dentry and destroys the v9fs_fid struct
after removing the file. If another process called v9fs_fid_lookup on the
same dentry, it may wait undefinitely for the fid's lock (as the struct is
freed).
This patch changes v9fs_remove to use a cloned fid, so the primary fid is
not locked and freed.

We broke the the alignment of members of taskstats to the 8 byte boundary

This is one way to solve the problem without re-arranging structure members
is to pack the structure. The patch adds an __attribute__((aligned(8))) to
the taskstats structure members so that 32 bit applications using taskstats
can work with a 64 bit kernel.
Using __attribute__((packed)) would break the 64 bit alignment of members.
The fix was tested on x86_64. After the fix, we got

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.

Redirtying a request that is already marked for commit will screw up the
accounting for NR_UNSTABLE_NFS as well as nfs_i.ncommit.
Ensure that all requests on the commit queue are labelled with the
PG_NEED_COMMIT flag, and avoid moving them onto the dirty list inside
nfs_page_mark_flush().
Also inline nfs_mark_request_dirty() into nfs_page_mark_flush() for
atomicity reasons. Avoid dropping the spinlock until we're done marking the
request in the radix tree and have added it to the ->dirty list.

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.

ide_hwif_to_major[] has only 10 entries as there are 10 major numbers
reserved for IDE (if somebody needs more it shouldn't be hard to fix).

The driver crashes the kernel on HPT302N chips due to the missing initializer
for 'hpt302n.settings' having been unfortunately overlooked so far. :-<
Much thanks to Mike Mattie for pin-pointing the reason of crash.

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.

With commit 63dc68a8cf60cb110b147dab1704d990808b39e2, kernel can not
handle BUG() and BUG_ON() properly since get_user() returns false for
kernel code. Use __get_user() to skip unnecessary access_ok(). This
patch also make BRK_BUG code encoded in the TNE instruction.

The save_fp_context()/restore_fp_context() might sleep on accessing
user stack and therefore might lose FPU ownership in middle of them.
If these function failed due to "in_atomic" test in do_page_fault,
touch the sigcontext area in non-atomic context and retry these
save/restore operation.
This is a replacement of a (broken) fix which was titled "Allow CpU
exception in kernel partially".

The commit 4d40bff7110e9e1a97ff8c01bdd6350e9867cc10 ("Allow CpU
exception in kernel partially") was broken. The commit was to fix
theoretical problem but broke usual case. Revert it for now.

This reverts commit 60cba200f11b6f90f35634c5cd608773ae3721b7. It's been
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.
