The patch "Replace CHECKSUM_HW by CHECKSUM_PARTIAL/CHECKSUM_COMPLETE"
changed to unconditional copying of ip_summed field from collapsed
skb. This patch reverts this change.

With the introduction of x_tables we accidentally broke compatibility
by defining IPT_TABLE_MAXNAMELEN to XT_FUNCTION_MAXNAMELEN instead of
XT_TABLE_MAXNAMELEN, which is two bytes larger.
On most architectures it doesn't really matter since we don't have
any tables with names that long in the kernel and the structure
layout didn't change because of alignment requirements of following
members. On CRIS however (and other architectures that don't align
data) this changed the structure layout and thus broke compatibility
with old iptables binaries.
Changing it back will break compatibility with binaries compiled
against recent kernels again, but since the breakage has only been
there for three releases this seems like the better choice.

I encountered a kernel panic with my test program, which is a very
simple IPv6 client-server program.
The server side sets IPV6_RECVPKTINFO on a listening socket, and the
client side just sends a message to the server. Then the kernel panic
occurs on the server. (If you need the test program, please let me
know. I can provide it.)
This problem happens because a skb is forcibly freed in
tcp_rcv_state_process().
When a socket in listening state(TCP_LISTEN) receives a syn packet,
then tcp_v6_conn_request() will be called from
tcp_rcv_state_process(). If the tcp_v6_conn_request() successfully
returns, the skb would be discarded by __kfree_skb().
However, in case of a listening socket which was already set
IPV6_RECVPKTINFO, an address of the skb will be stored in
treq->pktopts and a ref count of the skb will be incremented in
tcp_v6_conn_request(). But, even if the skb is still in use, the skb
will be freed. Then someone still using the freed skb will cause the
kernel panic.
I suggest to use kfree_skb() instead of __kfree_skb().

The recent hashing introduced an off-by-one bug in policy list insertion.
Instead of adding after the last entry with a lesser or equal priority,
we're adding after the successor of that entry.
This patch fixes this and also adds a warning if we detect a duplicate
entry in the policy list. This should never happen due to this if clause.

2.6.19)
Since we stop using dev_alloc_skb on the IrDA TX frame, we constantly run
into the case of the skb headroom being 0, and thus we call skb_cow for
every IrDA TX frame.
This patch uses a local buffer and memcpy the skb to it, saving us a
kmalloc for each of those IrDA TX frames.

Currently, when association enters SHUTDOWN state,the
implementation will SACK any DATA first and then transmit
the SHUTDOWN chunk. This is against the order required by

SACK. This change forces this order and also enables bundling.

Currently, old flow cache entries remain valid even after
a reload of SELinux policy.
This patch increments the flow cache generation id
on policy (re)loads so that flow cache entries are
revalidated as needed.
Thanks to Herbet Xu for pointing this out. See:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-netdev&m=116841378704536&w=2
There's also a general issue as well as a solution proposed
by David Miller for when flow_cache_genid wraps. I might be
submitting a separate patch for that later.
I request that this be applied to 2.6.20 since it's
a security relevant fix.

while lock-profiling the -rt kernel i noticed weird contention during
mmap-intense workloads, and the tracer showed the following gem, in one
of our MM hotpaths:
threaded-2771 1.... 65us : sys_munmap (sysenter_do_call)
threaded-2771 1.... 66us : profile_munmap (sys_munmap)
threaded-2771 1.... 66us : blocking_notifier_call_chain (profile_munmap)
threaded-2771 1.... 66us : rt_down_read (blocking_notifier_call_chain)
ouch! a global rw-semaphore taken in one of the most performance-
sensitive codepaths of the kernel. And i dont even have oprofile
enabled! All distro kernels have CONFIG_PROFILING enabled, so this
scalability problem affects the majority of Linux users.
The fix is to enhance blocking_notifier_call_chain() to only take the
lock if there appears to be work on the call-chain.
With this patch applied i get nicely saturated system, and much higher
munmap performance, on SMP systems.
And as a bonus this also fixes a similar scalability bottleneck in the
thread-exit codepath: profile_task_exit() ...

A flag was recently added to the elevator code to avoid
performing an unplug when reuests are being re-queued.
The goal of this flag was to avoid a deep recursion that
can occur when re-queueing requests after a SCSI device/host
reset. See http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/5/17/254
However, that fix added the flag near the bottom of a case
statement, where an earlier break (in an if statement) could
transport one out of the case, without setting the flag.
This patch sets the flag earlier in the case statement.
I re-discovered the deep recursion recently during testing;
I was told that it was a known problem, and the fix to it was
in the kernel I was testing. Indeed it was ... but it didn't
fix the bug. With the patch below, I no longer see the bug.

SMTC pseudo-interrupts between TCs are deferred and queued if the target
TC is interrupt-inhibited (IXMT). In the first SMTC prototypes, these
queued IPIs were serviced on return to user mode, or on entry into the
kernel idle loop. The INSTANT_REPLAY option dispatches them as part of
local_irq_restore() processing, which adds runtime overhead (hence the
option to turn it off), but ensures that IPIs are handled promptly even
under heavy I/O interrupt load.

This patch fixes a confusion reiserfs has for a long time.
On release file operation reiserfs used to try to pack file data stored in
last incomplete page of some files into metadata blocks. After packing the
page got cleared with clear_page_dirty. It did not take into account that
the page may be mmaped into other process's address space. Recent
replacement for clear_page_dirty cancel_dirty_page found the confusion with
sanity check that page has to be not mapped.
The patch fixes the confusion by making reiserfs avoid tail packing if an
inode was ever mmapped. reiserfs_mmap and reiserfs_file_release are
serialized with mutex in reiserfs specific inode. reiserfs_mmap locks the
mutex and sets a bit in reiserfs specific inode flags.
reiserfs_file_release checks the bit having the mutex locked. If bit is
set - tail packing is avoided. This eliminates a possibility that mmapped
page gets cancel_page_dirty-ed.

Currently one can specify an arbitrary node mask to mbind that includes
nodes not allowed. If that is done with an interleave policy then we will
go around all the nodes. Those outside of the currently allowed cpuset
will be redirected to the border nodes. Interleave will then create
imbalances at the borders of the cpuset.
This patch restricts the nodes to the currently allowed cpuset.

If a page is marked as dirty in the guest pte, set_pte_common() can set the
writable bit on newly-instantiated shadow pte. This optimization avoids
a write fault after the initial read fault.
However, if a write fault instantiates the pte, fix_write_pf() incorrectly
reports the fault as a guest page fault, and the guest oopses on what appears
to be a correctly-mapped page.
Fix is to detect the condition and only report a guest page fault on a user
access to a kernel page.
With the fix, a kvm guest can survive a whole night of running the kernel
hacker's screensaver (make -j9 in a loop).

The various bit string instructions (bts, btc, etc.) fail to adjust the
address correctly if the bit address is beyond BITS_PER_LONG.
This bug creeped in as the emulator originally relied on cr2 to contain the
memory address; however we now decode it from the mod r/m bits, and must
adjust the offset to account for large bit indices.
The patch is rather large because it switches src and dst decoding around, so
that the bit index is available when decoding the memory address.
This fixes workloads like the FC5 installer.
