[NETFILTER] arp_tables: Fix unaligned accesses.
There are two device string comparison loops in arp_packet_match().
The first one goes byte-by-byte but the second one tries to be
clever and cast the string to a long and compare by longs.
The device name strings in the arp table entries are not guarenteed
to be aligned enough to make this value, so just use byte-by-byte
for both cases.

[VLAN]: Allow VLAN interface on top of bridge interface
When a VLAN interface is created on top of a bridge interface and
netfilter is enabled to see the bridged packets, the packets can be
corrupted when passing through the netfilter code. This is caused by the
VLAN driver not setting the 'protocol' and 'nh' members of the sk_buff
structure. In general, this is no problem as the VLAN interface is mostly
connected to a physical ethernet interface which does not use the
'protocol' and 'nh' members. For a bridge interface, however, these
members do matter.

ide: correctly prevent IDE timer expiry function to run if request was already handled
It is possible for the timer expiry function to run even though the
request has already been handled: ide_timer_expiry() only checks that
the handler is not NULL, but it is possible that we have handled a
request (thus clearing the handler) and then started a new request
(thus starting the timer again, and setting a handler).
A simple way to exhibit this is to set the DMA timeout to 1 jiffy and
run dd: The kernel will panic after a few minutes because
ide_timer_expiry() tries to add a timer when it's already active.
To fix this, we simply add a request generation count that gets
incremented at every interrupt, and check in ide_timer_expiry() that
we have not already handled a new interrupt before running the expiry
function.

[APPLETALK]: Fix a remotely triggerable crash
When we receive an AppleTalk frame shorter than what its header says,
we still attempt to verify its checksum, and trip on the BUG_ON() at
the end of function atalk_sum_skb() because of the length mismatch.
This has security implications because this can be triggered by simply
sending a specially crafted ethernet frame to a target victim,
effectively crashing that host. Thus this qualifies, I think, as a
remote DoS. Here is the frame I used to trigger the crash, in npg
format:
<Appletalk Killer>
{
# Ethernet header -----
XX XX XX XX XX XX # Destination MAC
00 00 00 00 00 00 # Source MAC
00 1D # Length
The destination MAC address must be set to those of the victim.
The severity is mitigated by two requirements:
* The target host must have the appletalk kernel module loaded. I
suspect this isn't so frequent.
* AppleTalk frames are non-IP, thus I guess they can only travel on
local networks. I am no network expert though, maybe it is possible
to somehow encapsulate AppleTalk packets over IP.
The bug has been reported back in June 2004:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2979
But it wasn't investigated, and was closed in July 2006 as both
reporters had vanished meanwhile.
This code was new in kernel 2.6.0-test5:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git;a=commitdiff;h=7ab442d7e0a76402c12553ee256f756097cae2d2
And not modified since then, so we can assume that vanilla kernels
2.6.0-test5 and later, and distribution kernels based thereon, are
affected.
Note that I still do not know for sure what triggered the bug in the
real-world cases. The frame could have been corrupted by the kernel if
we have a bug hiding somewhere. But more likely, we are receiving the
faulty frame from the network.

enough to justify the churn.
Fix a bug in the swsusp's memory shrinker that causes some systems using
highmem to refuse to suspend to disk if image_size is set above 1/2 of
available RAM.
Special thanks to Jiri Slaby for reporting the problem and assistance in
debugging it.

[PATCH] net/sunrpc/svcsock.c: fix a check
The return value of kernel_recvmsg() should be assigned to "err", not
compared with the random value of a never initialized "err" (and the "< 0"
check wrongly always returned false since == comparisons never have a
result < 0).
Spotted by the Coverity checker.

With this patch we run the kobject_del via schedule_work so as to
avoid the deadlock.

This patch adds 2 missing symbol exports: jiffies_to_timeval() and
timeval_to_jiffies(). The (not yet merged) dm-raid4-5 module will need
them, and they used to be indirectly exported by virtue of being inline
functions.
Commit 8b9365d753d9870bb6451504c13570b81923228f ("[PATCH] Uninline
jiffies.h functions") uninlined them, and thus modules now need them
explicitly exported to use them.
