      [sky2] Fix sky2 network driver suspend/resume · d374c1c1
      Linus Torvalds authored
      This fixes two independent problems: it would not save the PCI state on
      suspend (and thus try to resume a nonexistent state on resume), and
      while shut off, if an interrupt happened on the same shared irq, the irq
      handler would react very badly to the interrupt status being an invalid
      all-ones state.

      From: Aki M Nyrhinen <anyrhine@cs.helsinki.fi>
      
      IMHO the current fix to the problem (in_flight underflow in reno)
      is incorrect.  it treats the symptons but ignores the problem. the
      problem is timing out packets other than the head packet when we
      don't have sack. i try to explain (sorry if explaining the obvious).
      
      with sack, scanning the retransmit queue for timed out packets is
      fine because we know which packets in our retransmit queue have been
      acked by the receiver.
      
      without sack, we know only how many packets in our retransmit queue the
      receiver has acknowledged, but no idea which packets.
      
      think of a "typical" slow-start overshoot case, where for example
      every third packet in a window get lost because a router buffer gets
      full.
      
      with sack, we check for timeouts on those every third packet (as the
      rest have been sacked). the packet counting works out and if there
      is no reordering, we'll retransmit exactly the packets that were 
      lost.
      
      without sack, however, we check for timeout on every packet and end up
      retransmitting consecutive packets in the retransmit queue. in our
      slow-start example, 2/3 of those retransmissions are unnecessary. these
      unnecessary retransmissions eat the congestion window and evetually
      prevent fast recovery from continuing, if enough packets were lost.

      [DCCP] Ackvec: fix soft lockup in ackvec handling code · afec35e3
      Andrea Bittau authored
      A soft lockup existed in the handling of ack vector records.
      Specifically, when a tail of the list of ack vector records was
      removed, it was possible to end up iterating infinitely on an element
      of the tail.

      [PATCH] Fix for the PPTP hangs that have been reported · 289a1e99
      Paul Mackerras authored
      People have been reporting that PPP connections over ptys, such as
      used with PPTP, will hang randomly when transferring large amounts of
      data, for instance in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6530.
      I have managed to reproduce the problem, and the patch below fixes the
      actual cause.
      
      The problem is not in fact in ppp_async.c but in n_tty.c.  What
      happens is that when pptp reads from the pty, we call read_chan() in
      drivers/char/n_tty.c on the master side of the pty.  That copies all
      the characters out of its buffer to userspace and then calls
      check_unthrottle(), which calls the pty unthrottle routine, which
      calls tty_wakeup on the slave side, which calls ppp_asynctty_wakeup,
      which calls tasklet_schedule.  So far so good.  Since we are in
      process context, the tasklet runs immediately and calls
      ppp_async_process(), which calls ppp_async_push, which calls the
      tty->driver->write function to send some more output.
      
      However, tty->driver->write() returns zero, because the master
      tty->receive_room is still zero.  We haven't returned from
      check_unthrottle() yet, and read_chan() only updates tty->receive_room
      _after_ calling check_unthrottle.  That means that the driver->write
      call in ppp_async_process() returns 0.  That would be fine if we were
      going to get a subsequent wakeup call, but we aren't (we just had it,
      and the buffer is now empty).
      
      The solution is for n_tty.c to update tty->receive_room _before_
      calling the driver unthrottle routine.  The patch below does this.
      With this patch I was able to transfer a 900MB file over a PPTP
      connection (taking about 25 minutes), whereas without the patch the
      connection would always stall in under a minute.

      [PATCH] sata_mv: grab host lock inside eng_timeout · 2f9719b6
      Mark Lord authored
      Bug fix:  mv_eng_timeout() calls mv_err_intr() without first grabbing the host lock,
      which can lead to all sorts of interesting scenarios.
      
      This whole error-handling portion of sata_mv is nasty (and will get fixed for
      the new EH stuff), but for now this patch will help keep it on life-support.

      From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
      
      __futex_atomic_op needs to do an atomic operation in the user address space,
      not the kernel address space.  Add the missing sacf 256/sacf 0 to switch to
      the secondary mode before doing the compare-and-swap.  In addition add
      another fixup for catch specification exceptions if the compare-and-swap
      address is not aligned.

      [PATCH] debugfs inode leak · 71601e2b
      Jens Axboe authored
      Looking at the reiser4 crash, I found a leak in debugfs. In
      debugfs_mknod(), we create the inode before checking if the dentry
      already has one attached. We don't free it if that is the case.
      
      These bugs happen quite often, I'm starting to think we should disallow
      such coding in CodingStyle.

      [PATCH] elevator switching race · bc1c1169
      Jens Axboe authored
      There's a race between shutting down one io scheduler and firing up the
      next, in which a new io could enter and cause the io scheduler to be
      invoked with bad or NULL data.
      
      To fix this, we need to maintain the queue lock for a bit longer.
      Unfortunately we cannot do that, since the elevator init requires to be
      run without the lock held.  This isn't easily fixable, without also
      changing the mempool API.  So split the initialization into two parts,
      and alloc-init operation and an attach operation.  Then we can
      preallocate the io scheduler and related structures, and run the attach
      inside the lock after we detach the old one.
      
      This patch has survived 30 minutes of 1 second io scheduler switching
      with a very busy io load.

      <linux/mempolicy.h> uses struct mm_struct and relies on a definition or

      Including <linux/sched.h> is a step into direction of include hell so
      fixed by adding a forward declaration of struct mm_struct instead.
