net/wireless/Kconfig: clarify the description for CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT_SYSFS
Current setup with hal and NetworkManager will fail to work
without newest hal version with this config option disabled.
Although this will solve itself by time, at the moment it is
dishonest to say that we don't know any software that uses it,
if there are many many people relying on old hal versions.

this new linux/pim.h, and that was wrong. If we didn't provide these

an extended (empty) rate tag is also appended if the number of rates is
exact 8. This empty (length=0) extended rates tag causes some APs to
deny association with code 18 (unsupported rates). These APs include my
ZyXEL G-570U, and according to Tomas Winkler som Cisco APs.
'If count == 8' has been used to check for the need for an extended rates
tag. But count would also be equal to 8 if the for loop exited because of
no more supported rates. Therefore a check for count being less than

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.

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.

When user calls sys_setpriority(PRIO_PGRP ...) on a NPTL style multi-LWP
process, only the task leader of the process is affected, all other
sibling LWP threads didn't receive the setting. The problem was that the
iterator used in sys_setpriority() only iteartes over one task for each
process, ignoring all other sibling thread.
Introduce a new macro do_each_pid_thread / while_each_pid_thread to walk
each thread of a process. Convert 4 call sites in {set/get}priority and

bootmem: fix aligning of node-relative indexes and offsets
Absolute alignment requirements may never be applied to node-relative
offsets. Andreas Herrmann spotted this flaw when a bootmem allocation on
an unaligned node was itself not aligned because the combination of an
unaligned node with an aligned offset into that node is not garuanteed to
be aligned itself.
This patch introduces two helper functions that align a node-relative
index or offset with respect to the node's starting address so that the
absolute PFN or virtual address that results from combining the two
satisfies the requested alignment.
Then all the broken ALIGN()s in alloc_bootmem_core() are replaced by these
helpers.

binfmt_misc: fix false -ENOEXEC when coupled with other binary handlers
In case the binfmt_misc binary handler is registered *before* the e.g.
script one (when for example being compiled as a module) the following
situation may occur:
1. user launches a script, whose interpreter is a misc binary;
2. the load_misc_binary sets the misc_bang and returns -ENOEVEC,
since the binary is a script;
3. the load_script_binary loads one and calls for search_binary_hander
to run the interpreter;
4. the load_misc_binary is called again, but refuses to load the
binary due to misc_bang bit set.
The fix is to move the misc_bang setting lower - prior to the actual
