This patch is a W/A for the TSF sync issue in IBSS merging. HW is not
capable to sync TSF (it's constantly little behind). This creates
constant IBSS merging upon reception of each beacon, adding and removing
station which in turn creates above 50% packet loss and thus dramatically
degrade the throughput. The W/A simply stops the driver from declaring it
has a reliable TSF value and thus eliminates IBSS merging.

ipsec: Fix deadlock in xfrm_state management.
Ever since commit 4c563f7669c10a12354b72b518c2287ffc6ebfb3
("[XFRM]: Speed up xfrm_policy and xfrm_state walking") it is
illegal to call __xfrm_state_destroy (and thus xfrm_state_put())
with xfrm_state_lock held. If we do, we'll deadlock since we
have the lock already and __xfrm_state_destroy() tries to take
it again.
Fix this by pushing the xfrm_state_put() calls after the lock
is dropped.

ath9: Fix ath_rx_flush_tid() for IRQs disabled kernel warning message.
This patch addresses an issue with the locking order. ath_rx_flush_tid()
uses spin_lock/unlock_bh when IRQs are disabled in sta_notify by mac80211.
As node clean up is still pending with ath9k and this problematic portion
of the code is expected to change anyway, thinking of a proper fix may not
be worthwhile. So having this interim fix helps the users to get rid of the
kernel warning message.
ath9k: Incorrect key used when group and pairwise ciphers are different.
Updating sc_keytype multiple times when groupwise and pairwise
ciphers are different results in incorrect pairwise key type
assumed for TX control and normal ping fails. This works fine
for cases where both groupwise and pairwise ciphers are same.

mac80211: Fix debugfs union misuse and pointer corruption
debugfs union in struct ieee80211_sub_if_data is misused by including a
common default_key dentry as a union member. This ends occupying the same
memory area with the first dentry in other union members (structures;
usually drop_unencrypted). Consequently, debugfs operations on
default_key symlinks and drop_unencrypted entry are using the same
dentry pointer even though they are supposed to be separate ones. This
can lead to removing entries incorrectly or potentially leaving
something behind since one of the dentry pointers gets lost.
Fix this by moving the default_key dentry to a new struct
(common_debugfs) that contains dentries (more to be added in future)
that are shared by all vif types. The debugfs union must only be used
for vif type-specific entries to avoid this type of pointer corruption.

'If count == 8' has been used to check for the need for an extended rates

(IW_GENERIC_IE_MAX = 1024), so the likelyhood of not being able to send

The mv643xx_eth hardware ignores the lower three bits of the buffer
size field in receive descriptors, causing the reception of full-sized
packets to fail at some MTUs. Fix this by rounding the size of
allocated receive buffers up to a multiple of eight bytes.
While we are at it, add a bit of extra space to each receive buffer so
that we can handle multiple vlan tags on ingress.
mv643xx_eth: fix NULL pointer dereference in rxq_process()
When we are low on memory, the assumption that every descriptor in the
receive ring will have an skbuff associated with it does not hold.
rxq_process() was assuming that if the receive descriptor it is working
on is not owned by the hardware, it can safely be processed and handed
to the networking stack. But a descriptor in the receive ring not being
owned by the hardware can also happen when we are low on memory and did
not manage to refill the receive ring fully.
This patch changes rxq_process()'s bailout condition from "the first
receive descriptor to be processed is owned by the hardware" to "the
first receive descriptor to be processed is owned by the hardware OR
the number of valid receive descriptors in the ring is zero".
Nicolas Pitre noted that mv643xx_eth_poll was incorrectly using
non-IRQ-safe locks while checking whether to wake up the netdevice's
transmit queue. Convert the locking to *_irq() variants, since we
are running from softirq context where interrupts are enabled.
mv643xx_eth: fix double add_timer() on the receive oom timer
Commit 12e4ab79cd828563dc090d2117dc8626b344bc8f ("mv643xx_eth: be
more agressive about RX refill") changed the condition for the receive
out-of-memory timer to be scheduled from "the receive ring is empty"
to "the receive ring is not full".
This can lead to a situation where the receive out-of-memory timer is
pending because a previous rxq_refill() didn't manage to refill the
receive ring entirely as a result of being out of memory, and
rxq_refill() is then called again as a side effect of a packet receive
interrupt, and that rxq_refill() call then again does not succeed to
refill the entire receive ring with fresh empty skbuffs because we are
still out of memory, and then tries to call add_timer() on the already
scheduled out-of-memory timer.
This patch fixes this issue by changing the add_timer() call in
rxq_refill() to a mod_timer() call. If the OOM timer was not already
scheduled, this will behave as before, whereas if it was already
scheduled, this patch will push back its firing time a bit, which is
safe because we've (unsuccessfully) attempted to refill the receive
ring just before we do this.
When a receive interrupt occurs, mv643xx_eth would first process the
receive descriptors and then ACK the receive interrupt, instead of the
other way round.
This would leave a small race window between processing the last
receive descriptor and clearing the receive interrupt status in which
a new packet could come in, which would then 'rot' in the receive
ring until the next receive interrupt would come in.
Fix this by ACKing (clearing) the receive interrupt condition before
processing the receive descriptors.
This fixes a problem spotted with zebra, but not sure if it is
necessary a kernel problem. With IPV6 when an address is added to an
interface, Zebra creates a duplicate RIB entry, one as a connected
route, and other as a kernel route.
When an address is added to an interface the RTN_NEWADDR message
causes Zebra to create a connected route. In IPV4 when an address is
added to an interface a RTN_NEWROUTE message is set to user space with
the protocol RTPROT_KERNEL. Zebra ignores these messages, because it
already has the connected route.
The problem is that route created in IPV6 has route protocol ==
RTPROT_BOOT. Was this a design decision or a bug? This fixes it. Same
patch applies to both net-2.6 and stable.

pkt_sched: Fix qdisc list locking
Since some qdiscs call qdisc_tree_decrease_qlen() (so qdisc_lookup())
without rtnl_lock(), adding and deleting from a qdisc list needs
additional locking. This patch adds global spinlock qdisc_list_lock
and wrapper functions for modifying the list. It is considered as a
temporary solution until hfsc_dequeue(), netem_dequeue() and
tbf_dequeue() (or qdisc_tree_decrease_qlen()) are redone.

cramfs: fix named-pipe handling
After commit a97c9bf33f4612e2aed6f000f6b1d268b6814f3c (fix cramfs
making duplicate entries in inode cache) in kernel 2.6.14, named-pipe

It seems the commit make all named-pipe on cramfs share their inode

Make ..._test() refuse to merge inodes with ->i_ino == 1, take inode setup
back to get_cramfs_inode() and make ->drop_inode() evict ones with ->i_ino
== 1 immediately.

mm: xip/ext2 fix block allocation race
XIP can call into get_xip_mem concurrently with the same file,offset with
create=1. This usually maps down to get_block, which expects the page
lock to prevent such a situation. This causes ext2 to explode for one
reason or another.
Serialise those calls for the moment. For common usages today, I suspect
get_xip_mem rarely is called to create new blocks. In future as XIP
technologies evolve we might need to look at which operations require
scalability, and rework the locking to suit.

mm: xip fix fault vs sparse page invalidate race
XIP has a race between sparse pages being inserted into page tables, and
sparse pages being zapped when its time to put a non-sparse page in.
What can happen is that a process can be left with a dangling sparse page
in a MAP_SHARED mapping, while the rest of the world sees the non-sparse
version. Ie. data corruption.
Guard these operations with a seqlock, making fault-in-sparse-pages the
slowpath, and try-to-unmap-sparse-pages the fastpath.

mm: dirty page tracking race fix
There is a race with dirty page accounting where a page may not properly
be accounted for.
clear_page_dirty_for_io() calls page_mkclean; then TestClearPageDirty.
page_mkclean walks the rmaps for that page, and for each one it cleans and
write protects the pte if it was dirty. It uses page_check_address to
find the pte. That function has a shortcut to avoid the ptl if the pte is
not present. Unfortunately, the pte can be switched to not-present then
back to present by other code while holding the page table lock -- this
should not be a signal for page_mkclean to ignore that pte, because it may
be dirty.
For example, powerpc64's set_pte_at will clear a previously present pte
before setting it to the desired value. There may also be other code in
core mm or in arch which do similar things.
The consequence of the bug is loss of data integrity due to msync, and
loss of dirty page accounting accuracy. XIP's __xip_unmap could easily
also be unreliable (depending on the exact XIP locking scheme), which can
lead to data corruption.
Fix this by having an option to always take ptl to check the pte in
page_check_address.
It's possible to retain this optimization for page_referenced and
try_to_unmap.
