sctp_make_abort_user() now takes the msg_len along with the msg

It also uses memcpy_fromiovec() so that we don't go beyond the

[PATCH] Fix current_io_context() vs set_task_ioprio() race
I know nothing about io scheduler, but I suspect set_task_ioprio() is not safe.
current_io_context() initializes "struct io_context", then sets ->io_context.
set_task_ioprio() running on another cpu may see the changes out of order, so
->set_ioprio(ioc) may use io_context which was not initialized properly.
ACPI 3.0 appended a variable length UID string to the LAPIC structure
as part of support for > 256 processors. So the BAD_MADT_ENTRY() sanity
check can no longer compare for equality with a fixed structure length.

scenario can cause the tx queue to be stopped forever if bnx2_tx_int() has
just freed up the entire tx_ring. The possibility of this happening
should be very rare though.
The following changes are made, very much identical to the tg3 fix:
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 bnx2_start_xmit()
when the ring is full.
3. Because of 2, use netif_tx_lock in bnx2_tx_int() before calling
netif_wake_queue().
4. Add memory barrier to bnx2_tx_avail().
5. Add bp->tx_wake_thresh which is set to half the tx ring size.
6. Check for the full wake queue condition before getting

[POWERPC] kprobes: Fix possible system crash during out-of-line single-stepping
- On archs that have no-exec support, we vmalloc() a executable scratch
area of PAGE_SIZE and divide it up into an array of slots of maximum
instruction size for that arch
- On a kprobe registration, the original instruction is copied to the
first available free slot, so if multiple kprobes are registered, chances
are, they get contiguous slots
- On POWER4, due to not having coherent icaches, we could hit a situation
where a probe that is registered on one processor, is hit immediately on
another. This second processor could have fetched the stream of text from
the out-of-line single-stepping area *before* the probe registration
completed, possibly due to an earlier (and a different) kprobe hit and
hence would see stale data at the slot.
Executing such an arbitrary instruction lead to a problem as reported
in LTC bugzilla 23555.
The correct solution is to call flush_icache_range() as soon as the
instruction is copied for out-of-line single-stepping, so the correct
instruction is seen on all processors.

[PATCH] PATCH: 1 line 2.6.18 bugfix: modpost-64bit-fix.patch
There is a small but annoying bug in scripts/mod/file2alias.c which causes
it to generate invalid aliases for input devices on 64 bit archs. This causes
joydev.ko to not be automaticly loaded when inserting a joystick, resulting in
a non working joystick (for the average user).
In scripts/mod/file2alias.c is the following code for generating the input
aliases:
static void do_input(char *alias,
kernel_ulong_t *arr, unsigned int min, unsigned int max)
{
unsigned int i;
for (i = min; i < max; i++)
if (arr[i / BITS_PER_LONG] & (1 << (i%BITS_PER_LONG)))
sprintf(alias + strlen(alias), "%X,*", i);
}
On 32 bits systems, this correctly generates "0,*" for the first alias, "8,*"
for the second etc.
However on 64 bits it generates: "0,*20,*" resp "8,*28,*" Notice how it adds 20
+ first entry (hex) ! to the list of hex codes, which is 32 more then the first
entry, thus is because the bit test above wraps at 32 bits instead of 64.
scripts/mod/file2alias.c, line 379 reads:
if (arr[i / BITS_PER_LONG] & (1 << (i%BITS_PER_LONG)))
That should be:
if (arr[i / BITS_PER_LONG] & (1L << (i%BITS_PER_LONG)))
Notice the added 'L' after the 1, otherwise that is an 32 bit int instead of a
64 bit long, and when that int gets shifted >= 32 times, appearantly the number
by which to shift is wrapped at 5 bits ( % 32) causing it to test a bit 32 bits
too low.

[PATCH] futex_handle_fault always fails
We found this issue last week w/ the -RT kernel, but it seems the same
issue is in mainline as well.
Basically it is possible for futex_unlock_pi to return without actually
freeing the lock. This is due to buggy logic in the use of
futex_handle_fault() and its attempt argument in a failure case.
Looking at futex.c the logic is as follows:
1) In futex_unlock_pi() we start w/ ret=0 and we go down to the first
futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(), where we find uval==-EFAULT. We then
jump to the pi_faulted label.
2) From pi_faulted: We increment attempt, unlock the sem and hit the
retry label.
3) From the retry label, with ret still zero, we again hit EFAULT on the
first futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(), and again goto the pi_faulted
label.
4) Again from pi_faulted: we increment attempt and enter the
conditional, where we call futex_handle_fault.
5) futex_handle_fault fails, and we goto the out_unlock_release_sem
label.
6) From out_unlock_release_sem we return, and since ret is still zero,
we return without error, while never actually unlocking the lock.
Issue #1: at the first futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() we should probably
be setting ret=-EFAULT before jumping to pi_faulted: However in our case
this doesn't really affect anything, as the glibc we're using ignores the
error value from futex_unlock_pi().
Issue #2: Look at futex_handle_fault(), its first conditional will return
-EFAULT if attempt is >= 2. However, from the "if(attempt++)
futex_handle_fault(attempt)" logic above, we'll *never* call
futex_handle_fault when attempt is less then two. So we never get a chance
to even try to fault the page in.
The following patch addresses these two issues by 1) Always setting ret to
-EFAULT if futex_handle_fault fails, and 2) Removing the = in
futex_handle_fault's (attempt >= 2) check.
I'm really not sure this is the right fix, but wanted to bring it up so
folks knew the issue is alive and well in the current -git tree. From
looking at the git logs the logic was first introduced (then later copied
to other places) in the following commit almost a year ago:

Fix from Aji_Srinivas@emc.com, STP packets are incorrectly received on
all LLC datagram sockets, whichever interface they are bound to. The
llc_sap datagram receive logic sends packets with a unicast
destination MAC to one socket bound to that SAP and MAC, and multicast
packets to all sockets bound to that SAP. STP packets are multicast,
and we do need to know on which interface they were received.

[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
use smarter state management algorithms inside of
the kernel as well.

[ARM] 3752/1: fix versatile flash resource map
Patch from Yoav Steinberg
Flash resource mapping for versatile machine included one extra byte for the end address. This results in failure to map other resources on physical address directly after the NOR flash.

USB: usbtest.c: unsigned retval makes ctrl_out return 0 in case of error
In my quest to try and figure out why test 14 (control write) doesn't
work with my EZ-USB board, I noticed that sometimes testusb reported
no error even though the kernel log complained "byte 0 is 0 not 2" etc.

Add stable branch to maintainers file
While helping someone to submit a patch to the stable branch, I noticed
that the stable branch is not listed in the MAINTAINERS file. This was
after I went there to look for the email addresses for the stable branch
list (stable@kernel.org).
This patch adds the stable branch to the maintainers file so that people
can find where to send patches when they have a fix for the stable team.
