I was unable to access a computer containing an Intel EtherExpress 16 network
card using IPv6.
I traced this to failure of neighbour discovery. When I used an "ip -6 neigh
add" command, on the computer attempting access, to insert a binding between
the IPv6 address of the computer with the Intel EtherExpress 16 network card
and the card's ethernet address, I was able to access that computer using
IPv6.
Neighbour discovery requires working multicast. The driver sources file
eexpress.c contains an approximately 30 line function eexp_setup_filter used
when loading multicast addresses.
I found 3 problems in this function
1) It wrote the number of multicast addresses to the card instead of the
number of bytes in the multicast addresses.
2) When loading multiple multicast addresses it loaded the first one
provided multiple times instead of loading each one once.
3) The setting of pointer 'data' from 'dmi->dmi_addr' occured before the
test for the error situation of 'dmi' being NULL.
Correcting these problems allows the computer with the Intel EtherExpress 16
network card to found by IPv6 neighbour discovery.
p.s. There is some information on the Intel EtherExpress 16 at

e1000e: Add support for BM PHYs on ICH9
This patch adds support for the BM PHY, a new PHY model being used
on ICH9-based implementations.
This new PHY exposes issues in the ICH9 silicon when receiving
jumbo frames large enough to use more than a certain part of the
Rx FIFO, and this unfortunately breaks packet split jumbo receives.
For this reason we re-introduce (for affected adapters only) the
jumbo single-skb receive routine back so that people who do
wish to use jumbo frames on these ich9 platforms can do so.
Part of this problem has to do with CPU sleep states and to make
sure that all the wake up timings are correctly we force them
with the recently merged pm_qos infrastructure written by Mark
Gross. (See http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/10/4/400).
To make code read a bit easier we introduce a _IS_ICH flag so
that we don't need to do mac type checks over the code.

The sysfs layer has an internal protection, that ensures, that

while generally most users will have PNP enabled, drivers can support
non-PNP build mode too - and most drivers implement it. That is typically
done by providing a dummy pnp_driver structure that will not probe anything.
The fallback routines in the driver will handle this dumber mode of
operation too.
This patch implements that. I have not tested whether this actually
works on real hardware so take care. It does resolve the build bug.

netns: Fix device renaming for sysfs
When a netdev is moved across namespaces with the
'dev_change_net_namespace' function, the 'device_rename' function is
used to fixup kobject and refresh the sysfs tree. The device_rename
function will call kobject_rename and this one will check if there is
an object with the same name and this is the case because we are
renaming the object with the same name.
The use of 'device_rename' seems for me wrong because we usually don't
rename it but just move it across namespaces. As we just want to do a
mini "netdev_[un]register", IMO the functions
'netdev_[un]register_kobject' should be used instead, like an usual
network device [un]registering.
This patch replace device_rename by netdev_unregister_kobject,
followed by netdev_register_kobject.
The netdev_register_kobject will call device_initialize and will raise
a warning indicating the device was already initialized. In order to
fix that, I split the device initialization into a separate function
and use it together with 'netdev_register_kobject' into
register_netdevice. So we can safely call 'netdev_register_kobject' in
'dev_change_net_namespace'.
This fix will allow to properly use the sysfs per namespace which is
coming from -mm tree.

link status changes through an additional handshaking mechanism.
Without this handshake, it has been observed in the field that the UMP

Fix dnotify/close race
We have a race between fcntl() and close() that can lead to
dnotify_struct inserted into inode's list *after* the last descriptor
had been gone from current->files.
Since that's the only point where dnotify_struct gets evicted, we are
screwed - it will stick around indefinitely. Even after struct file in
question is gone and freed. Worse, we can trigger send_sigio() on it at
any later point, which allows to send an arbitrary signal to arbitrary
process if we manage to apply enough memory pressure to get the page
that used to host that struct file and fill it with the right pattern...

x86: Mark OPTIMIZE_INLINING broken
So Ingo finally did figure out why UML broke with this option: UML
passes gcc the -fno-unit-at-a-time flag, and apparently that wreaks
havoc with gcc's inlining.
We could turn off -fno-unit-at-a-time for UML for gcc4+ (which is what
x86 does), but there's bad blood about this whole option, and it does
show that the thing is just fragile as heck.
So let tempers cool, and disable the thing, and we can revisit the
decision later.

mac80211: insert WDS peer after adding interface
This reorders the open code so that WDS peer STA info entries
are added after the corresponding interface is added to the
driver so that driver callbacks aren't invoked out of order.
Also make any master device startup fatal.

pcmcia: remove pccard_sysfs_interface warnings
Make the PCMCIA core stop using class_interface to hide socket attribute
registration. This removes the associated section mismatch warnings, and
helps get to the point where that mechanism can finally be removed.
Simplify that attribute registration by using an attribute_group.
This is a net shrink in object size.

driver core: warn about duplicate driver names on the same bus
Currently an attempt to register multiple
drivers with the same name causes the
stack trace with some cryptic error message.
The attached patch adds the necessary check
and the clear error message.
Add klist_add_after() and klist_add_before() which puts a new node
after and before an existing node, respectively. This is useful for
callers which need to keep klist ordered. Note that synchronizing
between simultaneous additions for ordering is the caller's
responsibility.

sysfs: Disallow truncation of files in sysfs
sysfs allows attribute files to be truncated, e.g. using ftruncate(), with the
expected effect on their inode. For most attributes, this doesn't change the
"real" size of the file i.e. how much can be read from it. However, the
parameter validation for reading and writing binary attribute files is based
on the inode size and not the size specified in the file's bin_attribute, so it
can be broken by this. For example, if we try using dd to write to such a file:
# pwd
/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:08:00.0
# ls -l config
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Feb 1 17:35 config
# dd if=/dev/zero of=config bs=4 count=1
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
# ls -l config
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 1 17:50 config
# dd if=/dev/zero of=config bs=4 count=1 seek=128
dd: writing `config': No space left on device
1+0 records in
0+0 records out
Also, after truncation to 0, parameter validation for read and write is
disabled. Most bin_attribute read and write methods also validate the size and
offset, but for some this will allow out-of-range access. This may be a
security issue, though access to such files is often limited to root. In any
case, the validation should remain for safety's sake!)
This was previously reported in Bugzilla as bug 9867.
sysfs should ignore size changes or else refuse them (by returning -EINVAL).
This patch makes it ignore them.
