[TCP]: Fix left_out setting during FRTO
Without FRTO, the tcp_try_to_open is never called with

enabled, the !tp->lost condition is not used until end of FRTO
because that way TCP avoids premature entry to fast recovery

Prevent mppe_decompress() from generating "osize too small" errors when
checking for output buffer size. When receiving a packet of mru size the
output buffer for decrypted data is 1 byte too small since
mppe_decompress() tries to account for possible PFC, however later in code
it is assumed no PFC.
Adjusting the check prevented these errors from occurring.

1. New entries can be added to tsk->pi_state_list after task completed
exit_pi_state_list(). The result is memory leakage and deadlocks.
2. handle_mm_fault() is called under spinlock. The result is obvious.
3. results in self-inflicted deadlock inside glibc.
Sometimes futex_lock_pi returns -ESRCH, when it is not expected
and glibc enters to for(;;) sleep() to simulate deadlock. This problem
is quite obvious and I think the patch is right. Though it looks like
each "if" in futex_lock_pi() got some stupid special case "else if". :-)
4. sometimes futex_lock_pi() returns -EDEADLK,
when nobody has the lock. The reason is also obvious (see comment
in the patch), but correct fix is far beyond my comprehension.
I guess someone already saw this, the chunk:
if (rt_mutex_trylock(&q.pi_state->pi_mutex))
ret = 0;
is obviously from the same opera. But it does not work, because the
rtmutex is really taken at this point: wake_futex_pi() of previous
owner reassigned it to us. My fix works. But it looks very stupid.
I would think about removal of shift of ownership in wake_futex_pi()
and making all the work in context of process taking lock.
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
Fix 1) Avoid the tasklist lock variant of the exit race fix by adding
an additional state transition to the exit code.
This fixes also the issue, when a task with recursive segfaults
is not able to release the futexes.
Fix 2) Cleanup the lookup_pi_state() failure path and solve the -ESRCH
problem finally.
Fix 3) Solve the fixup_pi_state_owner() problem which needs to do the fixup
in the lock protected section by using the in_atomic userspace access
functions.
This removes also the ugly lock drop / unqueue inside of fixup_pi_state()
Fix 4) Fix a stale lock in the error path of futex_wake_pi()
Added some error checks for verification.
The -EDEADLK problem is solved by the rtmutex fixups.

[SPARC64]: Handle PCI bridges without 'ranges' property.
This fixes the IDE controller not showing up on Netra-T1
systems.
Just like Simba bridges, some PCI bridges can lack the
'ranges' OBP property. So we handle this similarly to
the existing Simba code:
1) In of_device register address resolving, we push the
translation to the parent.
2) In PCI device scanning, we interrogate the PCI config
space registers of the PCI bus device in order to resolve
the resources, just like the generic Linux PCI probing
code does.
With much help and testing from Fabio, who also reported
the initial problem.

This bug was caught by LTP testcase fchmod06 on Blackfin platform.
In the manpage of fchmod, "EPERM: The effective UID does not match the
owner of the file, and the process is not privileged (Linux: it does not
have the CAP_FOWNER capability)."
But the ramfs nommu code missed the inode_change_ok POSIX UID/GID

enable interrupts in user path of page fault.
This is a minor fix, but what is currently there is essentially wrong.
In do_page_fault, if the faulting address from user code happens to be
in kernel address space (int *p = (int*)-1; p = 0xbed;) then the
do_page_fault handler will jump over the local_irq_enable with the
goto bad_area_nosemaphore;
But the first line there sees this is user code and goes through the
process of sending a signal to send SIGSEGV to the user task. This whole
time interrupts are disabled and the task can not be preempted by a
higher priority task.
This patch always enables interrupts in the user path of the
bad_area_nosemaphore.

[SPARC64]: Fix SBUS IRQ regression caused by PCI-E driver.
We used to access the 64-bit IRQ IMAP and ICLR registers of bus
controllers 4-bytes in and as a 32-bit register word, since only the
low 32-bits were relevant. This seemed like a good idea at the time.
But the PCI-E controller requires full 8-byte 64-bit access to

SBUS was not adjusted properly, which broke interrupts completely.

xfrm: Add security check before flushing SAD/SPD
Currently we check for permission before deleting entries from SAD and
SPD, (see security_xfrm_policy_delete() security_xfrm_state_delete())
However we are not checking for authorization when flushing the SPD and
the SAD completely. It was perhaps missed in the original security hooks
patch.
This patch adds a security check when flushing entries from the SAD and
SPD. It runs the entire database and checks each entry for a denial.
If the process attempting the flush is unable to remove all of the
entries a denial is logged the the flush function returns an error
without removing anything.
This is particularly useful when a process may need to create or delete
its own xfrm entries used for things like labeled networking but that
same process should not be able to delete other entries or flush the
entire database.

[AF_UNIX]: Fix stream recvmsg() race.
A recv() on an AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM socket can race with a
send()+close() on the peer, causing recv() to return zero, even though
the sent data should be received.
This happens if the send() and the close() is performed between
skb_dequeue() and checking sk->sk_shutdown in unix_stream_recvmsg():
process A skb_dequeue() returns NULL, there's no data in the socket queue
process B new data is inserted onto the queue by unix_stream_sendmsg()
process B sk->sk_shutdown is set to SHUTDOWN_MASK by unix_release_sock()
process A sk->sk_shutdown is checked, unix_release_sock() returns zero
I'm surprised nobody noticed this, it's not hard to trigger. Maybe
it's just (un)luck with the timing.
It's possible to work around this bug in userspace, by retrying the
recv() once in case of a zero return value.

Add a compat_release_match function that only drops the module reference

Now that we're creating inet devices earlier, this changes the

same point as before but only for those that have not been explicitly

[BNX2]: Fix occasional counter corruption on 5708.
The statistics block DMA on 5708 can be messed up occasionally on the
average of about once per hour. If the user is reading the counters
within one second after the corruption, the counters will be all
messed up. One second later, the counters will be ok again until the
next corruption occurs.
The workaround is to disable the periodic statistics DMA. Instead,
we manually trigger the DMA once a second in bnx2_timer(). This
manual trigger of the DMA avoids the problem.
As a consequence, we can only allow 0 or 1 second settings for
