[ICSK]: Move generalised functions from tcp to inet_connection_sock
This also improves reqsk_queue_prune and renames it to
inet_csk_reqsk_queue_prune, as it deals with both inet_connection_sock
and inet_request_sock objects, not just with request_sock ones thus
belonging to inet_request_sock.

This paves the way to generalise the rest of the sock ID lookup
routines and saves some bytes in TCPv4 TIME_WAIT sockets on distro
kernels (where IPv6 is always built as a module):
Now if a protocol wants to use the TIME_WAIT generic infrastructure it
only has to set the sk_prot->twsk_obj_size field with the size of its
inet_timewait_sock derived sock and proto_register will create
sk_prot->twsk_slab, for now its only for INET sockets, but we can
introduce timewait_sock later if some non INET transport protocolo
wants to use this stuff.
Next changesets will take advantage of this new infrastructure to
generalise even more TCP code.
It really just makes the existing code be a helper function that
tcp_v4_hash and tcp_unhash uses, specifying the right inet_hashinfo,
tcp_hashinfo.
One thing I'll investigate at some point is to have the inet_hashinfo
pointer in sk_prot, so that we get all the hashtable information from
the sk pointer, this can lead to some extra indirections that may well
hurt performance/code size, we'll see. Ultimate idea would be that
sk_prot would provide _all_ the information about a protocol
implementation.

[NETFILTER]: fix list traversal order in ctnetlink
Currently conntracks are inserted after the head. That means that
conntracks are sorted from the biggest to the smallest id. This happens
because we use list_prepend (list_add) instead list_add_tail. This can
result in problems during the list iteration.
list_for_each(i, &ip_conntrack_hash[cb->args[0]]) {
h = (struct ip_conntrack_tuple_hash *) i;
if (DIRECTION(h) != IP_CT_DIR_ORIGINAL)
continue;
ct = tuplehash_to_ctrack(h);
if (ct->id <= *id)
continue;
In that case just the first conntrack in the bucket will be dumped. To
fix this, we iterate the list from the tail to the head via
list_for_each_prev. Same thing for the list of expectations.

- remove all never-implemented 'nfcache' code
- don't have ipvs code abuse 'nfcache' field. currently get's their own

[PATCH] convert signal handling of NODEFER to act like other Unix boxes.
It has been reported that the way Linux handles NODEFER for signals is
not consistent with the way other Unix boxes handle it. I've written a
program to test the behavior of how this flag affects signals and had
several reports from people who ran this on various Unix boxes,
confirming that Linux seems to be unique on the way this is handled.
The way NODEFER affects signals on other Unix boxes is as follows:
1) If NODEFER is set, other signals in sa_mask are still blocked.
2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal is
still blocked. (Note: this is the behavior of all tested but Linux _and_
NetBSD 2.0 *).
The way NODEFER affects signals on Linux:
1) If NODEFER is set, other signals are _not_ blocked regardless of
sa_mask (Even NetBSD doesn't do this).
2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal being
handled is not blocked.
The patch converts signal handling in all current Linux architectures to
the way most Unix boxes work.
Unix boxes that were tested: DU4, AIX 5.2, Irix 6.5, NetBSD 2.0, SFU
3.5 on WinXP, AIX 5.3, Mac OSX, and of course Linux 2.6.13-rcX.

main concern was brought up by point #1 which even NetBSD isn't like
Linux. So with this patch, we leave NetBSD as the lonely one that

[PATCH] Remove race between con_open and con_close
[ Same race and same patch also by Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> ]
I have a laptop (G3 powerbook) which will pretty reliably hit a race
between con_open and con_close late in the boot process and oops in
vt_ioctl due to tty->driver_data being NULL.
What happens is this: process A opens /dev/tty6; it comes into
con_open() (drivers/char/vt.c) and assign a non-NULL value to
tty->driver_data. Then process A closes that and concurrently process
B opens /dev/tty6. Process A gets through con_close() and clears
tty->driver_data, since tty->count == 1. However, before process A
can decrement tty->count, we switch to process B (e.g. at the
down(&tty_sem) call at drivers/char/tty_io.c line 1626).
So process B gets to run and comes into con_open with tty->count == 2,
as tty->count is incremented (in init_dev) before con_open is called.
Because tty->count != 1, we don't set tty->driver_data. Then when the
process tries to do anything with that fd, it oopses.
The simple and effective fix for this is to test tty->driver_data
rather than tty->count in con_open. The testing and setting of
tty->driver_data is serialized with respect to the clearing of
tty->driver_data in con_close by the console_sem. We can't get a
situation where con_open sees tty->driver_data != NULL and then
con_close on a different fd clears tty->driver_data, because
tty->count is incremented before con_open is called. Thus this patch
eliminates the race, and in fact with this patch my laptop doesn't
oops.

[PATCH] sg.c: fix a memory leak in devices seq_file implementation
I know that scsi procfs is legacy code but this is a fix for a memory leak.
While reading through sg.c I realized that the implementation of
/proc/scsi/sg/devices with seq_file is leaking memory due to freeing the
pointer returned by the next() iterator method. Since next() might return
NULL or an error this is wrong. This patch fixes it through using the
seq_files private field for holding the reference to the iterator object.
Here is a small bash script to trigger the leak. Use slabtop to watch
the size-32 usage grow and grow.
#!/bin/sh
while true; do
cat /proc/scsi/sg/devices > /dev/null
done

[PATCH] fix for race problem in DVB USB drivers (dibusb)
Fixed race between submitting streaming URBs in the driver and starting
the actual transfer in hardware (demodulator and USB controller) which
sometimes lead to garbled data transfers. URBs are now submitted first,
then the transfer is enabled. Dibusb devices and clones are now fully
functional again.
