[PATCH] smc91x: plug race between TX tasklet and driver reset
The race causes a kernel oops when smc_hardware_send_pkt() tries to
dereference pending_tx_skb which would have been freed from one of the
driver reset paths just after the tx_task tasklet has been scheduled.
This race is possible on SMP but was uncovered by the kernel RT work.

[PATCH] net/sb1000: replace nicedelay() with ssleep()
Use ssleep() instead of nicedelay()
to guarantee the task delays as expected. Remove the prototype and
definition of nicedelay(). This is a very weird function, because it is
called to sleep in terms of usecs, but always sleeps for 1 second,
completely ignoring the parameter. I have gone ahead and followed suit,
just sleeping for a second in all cases, but maybe someone with the
hardware could tell me if perhaps the paramter *should* matter. Additionally,
nicedelay() is called in TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE state, but doesn't deal with signals
in case these longer delays do not complete, so I believe ssleep() is more
appropriate.

[IPVS]: Fix for overflows
From: <pageexec@freemail.hu>
$subject was fixed in 2.4 already, 2.6 needs it as well.
The impact of the bugs is a kernel stack overflow and privilege escalation
from CAP_NET_ADMIN via the IP_VS_SO_SET_STARTDAEMON/IP_VS_SO_GET_DAEMON
ioctls. People running with 'root=all caps' (i.e., most users) are not
really affected (there's nothing to escalate), but SELinux and similar
users should take it seriously if they grant CAP_NET_ADMIN to other users.

This is a fix for the interrupt handler in the defxx driver to use

it actually checks board registers as appropriate for determining if an

2) netlink_autobind() needs to propagate the error return from
netlink_insert(). Otherwise, callers will not see the error
as they should and thus try to operate on a socket with a zero pid,
which is very bad.
However, it should not propagate -EBUSY. If two threads race
to autobind the socket, that is fine. This is consistent with the
autobind behavior in other protocols.
So bug #1 above, combined with this one, resulted in hangs
on netlink_sendmsg() calls to the rtnetlink socket. We'd try
to do the user sendmsg() with the socket's pid set to zero,
later we do a socket lookup using that pid (via the value we
stashed away in NETLINK_CB(skb).pid), but that won't give us the
user socket, it will give us the rtnetlink socket. So when we
try to wake up the receive queue, we dive back into rtnetlink_rcv()
which tries to recursively take the rtnetlink semaphore.
Thanks to Jakub Jelink for providing backtraces. Also, thanks to
Herbert Xu for supplying debugging patches to help track this down,
and also finding a mistake in an earlier version of this fix.

[PATCH] pcnet_cs.c: IRQ handler optimization
During some performance diagnostics I stumbled on this slightly wasteful
code in pcnet_cs.c which I made the patch included at the bottom for (two
minor comment fixes included).
Improvement:
instead of *always* calculating
lea 0x2c0(%edx),%ebx
and then additionally doing the
mov %edx,0xc0(%ebx)
addition *if we need it*,
we now do the *whole* calculation of
mov %edx,0x380(%ebx)
*only* if we need it.
This even manages to save us a whole 16-byte alignment buffer loss
in this compilation case.
Result: slightly improves IRQ handler performance in both shared and
non-shared IRQ case, which should make my rusty P3/700 a slight bit happier.

bonding: xor/802.3ad improved slave hash
Add support for alternate slave selection algorithms to bonding
balance-xor and 802.3ad modes. Default mode (what we have now: xor of
MAC addresses) is "layer2", new choice is "layer3+4", using IP and port
information for hashing to select peer.
Originally submitted by Jason Gabler for balance-xor mode;
modified by Jay Vosburgh to additionally support 802.3ad mode. Jason's
original comment is as follows:
The attached patch to the Linux Etherchannel Bonding driver modifies the
driver's "balance-xor" mode as follows:
- alternate hashing policy support for mode 2
* Added kernel parameter "xmit_policy" to allow the specification
of different hashing policies for mode 2. The original mode 2
policy is the default, now found in xmit_hash_policy_layer2().
* Added xmit_hash_policy_layer34()
This patch was inspired by hashing policies implemented by Cisco,
Foundry and IBM, which are explained in

There is still a lot of space higher up in the virtual memory map
